		<description>Its about time PR lose the &quot;opposition&quot; mentality and focus on the prize. There is no use to continue picking on BN, instead; PR must prove to be the better choice in bringing Malaysia to greater heights. As Tunku Aziz put it, sacrifices has to be made internally - within each PR component party. Let DAP and PAS put aside thier political ideologies but instead agree on a common goals such as... the betterment of Malaysia and all Malaysians (with Islam as our official religion and BM as our national language - as stated in the constitution)

Although we say that race should not matter when choosing leaders, it is the perception of many in which we have to consider in choosing leaders. We cannot have all the leaders skewed to a single race lest giving the &quot;preception&quot; of favoratism, nepotism and all things bad. I propose that all the PR component parties surprise the rakyat by breaking the racial mold in which has been indoctrinated by BN. DAP should propose a leaders such as Tunku Aziz to the PR central committee, PAS should propose someone from thier PAS supporter group, and PKR can propose Zaid. These individuals have shown to be of high integrity and thier actions/words carry weight. Let PR show the rakyat that they walk the talk. Let us not be dominated by racial divides. PR leaders need not be DAP,PAS,PKR leaders respectively but let us show Malaysia - PR is different!!!

I pray for PR success. Sacrifices MUST be made..</description>

		<description>Yes undertaker888, the choice really is between a party with a proven dismal (no downright rotten) track record and one with an uncertain track record. I would go with the latter. Anytime. That no doubt would come with a risk. But hey risk brings opportunity for a better tommorrow. The minimum we can expect is the birth of a two-party system in the country.</description>

		<description>After all being said, frankly if I have to choose between beyond negotiation (bn) and partly ready (pr), I will go for partly ready. At least the rakyat has the opportunity to shape policies and good governance together with the ruling govt.

		<description>Brother LKS, time to go full out and get all the support you can or else through deception once again UMNO will retain their occupancy of malaysia. It&#039;s time for the opposition to shine or else vacate and let some other independent parties try and salvage this nation from complete destruction(Quatrain 44:4)</description>

		<description>does anyone buy rosmah’s story about distributing her pricey reward from an arab prince to needy malaysian organisations? sounds like fairy talelish publicity stunt for her husband and his party?!

Someone should try and get an inside scoop whether the story is credible and perhaps get an interview with this arab prince. i sense another big stage play by a controversial couple yet again. Deception is the theme! LOL</description>

		<description>There are a few problems and serious ones at that that are facing the PR coalition.
1. There are too many mavericks in PKR and PAS  
    and  from time to time, they take center stage.
    And it doesn&#039;t take much for BN to stir up these
    people.
2. The BN has vast sums of money, albeit 
    belonging to the taxpayers, to corrupt a number 
    of officials in the opposition.
3. It is obvious to everyone that, during more 
    then five decades of BN rule, they have twisted
    the laws (including the constitution) to suit 
    themselves.
4. Their grip on the rural Malays is still immense 
     because of their vast propaganda machinery 
     especially by the MSM is immense and all  
     encompassing.
It is not impossible for the PR to win in the next GE but they must neutralise the BN, especially in respect of the four points raised above.
And they must start without any delay.</description>

		<description>The muslim leaders of PR must spend sometimes to find out the reason why the pork-eating population of Malaysia like to invest and operate in a pig farm even though the obstacles (whether the financial risk of heavy investment or the political risk of government officers&#039; harrassment and administrative hassles) of entry into the pig farming are tough and many.  The pig farmers did not receive a single cent of subsidy from the BN Government yet they still could manage to survive.  Obviously, the constant and steady demand for pork consumption has made the pig farming a highly viable investment choice in Malaysia.

The BN government has already subsidised heavily the ruminant farmers in Malaysia.  Some farmers could even get up to 50 heads of adult goats or 10 heads of adult cows free of charge from MPOB (Malaysia Palm Oil Board), from RISDA (Rubber Industry Smallholders Development Authority) or from Jabatan Perkhidmatan Haiwan (Veterinary Service Department).  However, the percentage of business failure in the ruminant farming sector is relatively much higher than the other business sectors of Malaysia, even though there is no widespread endemics or epidemics outbreak in ruminant farming sector for the past 10 years.  As the Hari Raya Haji is near at hand and most muslim population will consume male goats or male cow for use as sacrifice or &quot;Korban&quot;, perhaps the reason of the business failure in ruminant farming sector is something which ponders many people&#039;s thought!

Why do we find that the muslim consumers are forced to pay the high price of about RM600 per head of 40 kg male goat or RM4800 per head of 800 kg male cow but many local ruminant farmers would still find that they could not lead a good survival for their ruminant farming business in Malaysia?  Do the Malaysian ruminant farmers really have the comparative advantages in order to survive in a head-on competition in the international business environment?  The answer is obvious.  We usually find that the Malaysian ruminant farmers cannot compete efficiently with the Thai farmers, the Indonesian farmers, or the Myanmar farmers if the Jabatan Perkhidmatan Haiwan is to liberalise approval for all the import permits for importation of foreign animals.  

Here lies a common answer which will provide good explanation on why the ruminant farmers could hardly survive in Malaysia and yet the answer is to be found out by the research team of PR.  Perhaps PR should form such a research team of which the members will include the representatives from each and every component parties of PR. If all three PR&#039;s component parties are able to provide the same answer to the question raised here, then it will be a good indication that Pakatan Rakyat is moving smoothly ahead towards a much better goal congruence and a much stronger membership cohesiveness among all its members!</description>

		<description>&quot;The electorate owes PR nothing. The truth is that Pakatan Rakyat owes their supporters everything.&quot;  (Tunku Aziz)

Exactly.  The voters cast vote for PR because of their willing to bet their hope on PR.  PR leaders must start to figure out now what all PR&#039;s component parties can offer to improve the livelihood and human rights situation of the ordinary Malaysian people.

Most political scientists like to brief the purpose of political science as an attempt to determine &quot;who gets what, in what amount, and when this amount will be given, and how to find the ways and means to pay for it!&quot;   If PR leaders cannot even agree upon such a straight-forward and simple question of &quot;who gets what&quot; in Selangor, how do we expect Selangor PR to be able to provide answers for further questions of &quot;what amount will be given, when it will be given and how to find money to pay for the thing which is to be given?&quot;  Alcohol ban and pig farm ban are just two apparent examples of what PR cannot agree upon  in Selangor.</description>

		<description>&quot;.... contrary to PR principles&quot;

What principles?  Are there agreed principles?  

People are giving serious thought to this.  If you fellows can&#039;t even agree while still in opposition, how can there be cohesiveness when you form the next government?  I want every party in PR to tell me unequivocally that there will be a liberal, multiracial, multicultural, progressive and modern Malaysia.  Or are we still concerned with where we can sell beer and whether or not women having menstruation can go to a mosque, a church or a temple.   

Someone said in this blog that politicians should enlighten and educate our people.  High hope!  How can they teach us anything when they are so archaic, so unprincipled (just look at MCA), so corrupted, so lack of knowledge (other than politicking and scheming)?  Most Malaysian politicians, PR included, do even know they are hopelessly outdated in managing a modern nation.  When we want to hire senior professionals or managers, we usually ask them the latest books and journals or magazines they have read.  For politicians, they just need to know how to talk some incoherent cok, stab someone from the back, bribe someone or be bribed, lobby for a contract, and spend money provided for by the national coffer.  Seriously how many high profile politicians in this country have ever earned a single ringgit on their own (are they not paid lucratively by the national treasury)?</description>

		<description>Actually Pakatan is doing fine except for some &#039;cancerous cells&#039;. 
Just remove them and we&#039;re OK.
Get rid of Zulkifli Nordin, Hasan Ali, Wee Choo Kiong and probably Nasarudn Mat Isa and Mustapha Ali.</description>

		<description>UMNO has come a long way with its despicable, atrocious and revolting governance.

Though the years we have noticed to what extent will they stoop to achieve permanent governance of this country. The saying &#039;by hook or by crook&#039; should be their motto.

They have sodomised the judiciary system, legalised money politics, terminated individuals who pose threats to their thriving, belittled the other races, and continue their racket with deception and coercion.

If this country is to achieve a significant level of development, we need a unified government of all races, based on meritocracy,  ridden of money, racial and religious politics.</description>

		<description>Tunku Aziz, you are right on the point. PR is still wobbling on her feet. Unless and until PR stops being PAS, PKR and DAP &quot;seperately&quot;, the government-controlled media will continue relentlessly to sabotaged her acceptable performance (so far) by highlighting and enlarging her little flaws. How could PR tell the  people of her good work with her limited resources? So far, the people&#039;s perception of PR is not flattering nor encouraging. By highlighting BN&#039;s faults is not exactlywhat the people want to hear; it&#039;s what great performance PR has done that the people will be convinced to vote PR into Putrajaya.</description>
