It is coundown to Putrayjaya by Pakatan Rakyat with two-thirds majorities. Malaysians will have a brand-new administration which fights for the people and care for the people.

Najib will be the last PM of BN, definitely.

Say what you want.
UMNO/BN is indeed giving the opposition a leg up in the coming GE.
The reasons are plentyful and the logic simple.
Because never in the history of mankind has a political party been so hell-bent on self destruction!!!!
Even their so-called cybertroopers are at a loss to saying anything good about their political masters!!
So, what do they actually say in their posts?
Lies and expletives!!!!!!!
What a remorseless waste of taxpayers’ money!!

If you look into the complaints of the rural areas even in places like Felda heartland – they used words and phrases like ‘hari ini zaman canggih, sekarang bukan zaman dulu’ – they expect the govt to execute as well as .. Singapore, HK, Taiwan or Japan – they consider basic ammenities and services to their right not ‘given development’..

In other words, the Malay expectation across the board is that their govt be like other govt – meaning the ridiculous corruption and abuse of power is expected to dissapear even if they are not already. They no longer have a ‘serf mentality’ even if still outwardly don’t protest the norm..They may still be hostage to racial and religious sensationalism which is really what UMNO/BN relies on but as far as corruption and abuse of power, the expectation is change must be within sight and its clear to even their children (perhaps even more so) that its really hasn’t even started..

People everywhere want CHANGE. Even Singapore is of no exception – opposition Workers’ Party won in the Punggol East by-election which used to be a “safe seat” of the PAP. If an authoritarian regime remains in power for too long, people will get frustrated and cry out for more democratic space.

Singapore’s by-election experience strongly suggests that Umno/BN’s hope of regaining two-thirds majority in GE13 looks remote.

Yes it is possible for BN to win 2/3 majority.

The EC might give them a helping hand as we have recently learned from experiences in Sabah.

PM Najib went on a publicity drive to lure foreign investors with a new tagline “Malaysia -endless possibilities”. But hardly a week ago a sharp drop in FBM KLCI 7 widely believed to be foreign fund heavy selling. Telling sign that the Market already speculated the BN’s precarious position. Coincidence?

Of course BN will win more than 2/3 majority if for the last 4 years after the political tsunami 2008, they have carried out “project” in the Peninsular similar to project M/project IC in Sabah.
It is so vitally important that the elcectoral rolls in the peninsular be verified by a truly independent body bacause EC has proven to be a bias commission working only for UMNO.

You know what Uncle Lim, I think BN may be right although I hope they are not for the sake of this country. When polling day comes, the majority of the people will still vote back in BN and 2/3rd is a possibility.

People may shout and curse and complain at BN but will still vote them back in because they are too selfishly and irrationally afraid. Afraid for the economy, then they will not have enough money to enjoy their luxurious life. Afraid that racial violence will erupt. Afraid to try a new political party in Pakatan. And the list goes on and on and they will give you a thousand justifications why they voted BN again.

And then they will spend the next 4-5 years complaining about corruption and safety and cost of living and etc, etc, etc. This unfortunately is the behavior of Malaysians. Complain a lot but no action. This is the reality. This has been going on and on since independence.

Malaysian do not think rationally and are not bold to make changes. They are easily swayed by the media even though many know that the media is BN controlled. There are ample evidence of govt scandals from the Bank Bumi case way back in the 80′s to the currency speculation scandal and whatever scandals you name it. But each time, BN continues to rule with 2/3rd majority.

Will GE 13 be different, I hope it is but I doubt it will be because Malaysians are just not smart and bold enough to vote for the change when crunch time comes. This is the reality of the Malaysian voters.

The large turnout (about 150,000 people) at the recent KL112 rally is strong evidence that Umno/BN is unlikely to regain two-thirds majority in GE13.
