What BN Should Learn from Election 2008

Well well, guess everyone is having a big discussion as to how the opposition or Barisan Rakyat managed to snap 5 states in style, especially for DAP which has done a magnificient job in sweeping their seats in Penang, Selangor and Perak. The truth is, like what Dr. M aptly put, it’s not so much of supporting the Opposition, but it’s rather more on NOT supporting BN for their poor record during the last 3-4 years. With racial unrest and security issues painting the backdrop, Malaysians are expressing their protest with the less-than-convincing efforts by the BN government to lower inflation and ease the rising cost of livings especially among urban folks. But here are few lessons that BN should learn from Eection 2008. (These are solely my opinion and doesn’t reflect my ideology or any instituitions that i represent).

1. Ignoring BONUS for Civil Servants is really a BAD IDEA! Yeah, it may sounds weird, but when you look at the majority that the Opposition candidates grabbed in the five states, it’s huge. And i reckon, to get such large majority, it also means that most government servants especially in the five states that the opposition won are voting against BN!! So No BONUS for them means NO Vote for BN! Haha.

2. Sending a doctor cum model to SPACE is a FOOLISH IDEA! Well, we have talked a lot on this issue. The money spent on that "short trip" would have please more Malaysians by providing better facilities, incentives, etc!

3. Allowing "under-perform" candidiates to stay is a STUPID idea. This election saw more "casualties" among the minister cum BN candidates than ever. Most of them are "seasoned" figure and had not been performing well. I can’t understand why they are allowed to stay.

4. Being over-confident and not working hard for the people is a Dangerous Idea. For far too long some of BN candidates are acting like they will win their seats forever and ignore the outcry of the people that they represent. Those representing people of Penang and Selangor are "good" example.

Well, i do hope Pak Lah will wake up from his sleep and start looking at strategies to please the people. And for the oppositions that are ruling the five states, all the best. This is the chance to deliver what you have promised and make use of the opportunity before the people decide again in 4 years time!

  • I agree. Only if they (BN) learn something from it lah. I mean there should be "hikmah di sebalik kejadian", right?

  • Regarding why a Dr is sent to space case, i know the reason why:

    This is because BN knows one day DAP will rocket them to space later....

    well, this is what i heard....
