Moving Forward?!

12th General Election has passed almost 2 months, and what we see and hear nowadays are mostly finger pointings, and blames here and there. From whom these came about? Erm....... yes correct, it's from BN, UMNO, MCA, MIC, and now it's Gerakan.

Since BN lost out 5 states and majority of the parlimentary seats to opposition,we'd heard enough of blames and seen enough of finger pointing towards opposition, and most significantly their own coalition. Then from UMNO they said it's because opposition mislead the public into believing BN government never carryout work accordingly and also never fulfil their promises. Followsuit is MCA, where state members urged President, Ong Ka Ting tostep down as a mark of responsible for the lost in the election. Following this, and numerous others party's internal conflicts, here comes MIC most 'hatred' man! Samy Vellu, who said it's because the BN had marginarised Indian, which caused his lost of parlimentary seats at his area of election.

All these finger pointing never stop since, and for those who dare not speak up during the previous term have now suddenly so daring in speaking out their thought in the parliment debate, which has neverseen before. Why? Is it because previously they can't say something which they think is not right or unfair? Is their speech being restricted previously? It's a little too late, too little they could do to change the current situation. The latest is Gerakan, who open fire at BN and its coalition for the downfall in the election.

After all these, my main point is has BN moving forward since losing badly in the election? What improvement or plan have we seen from the BN lead government in order to win back the confidence of public in them? Have they started anything to proof people wrong in choosing opposition? I think none of the above is done, or worst not even plan to do so. All they care about now is who wants to be the UMNO president, Who should replace who in their respective party, why opposition keeps changing all the rules and regulations they set for 50 years, why opposition leaders keeps scrapping their so call economic plan etc.

Until now BN still never learnt that people choosing opposition because they have had enough of BN's empty's promises, and its dictatorship style of management. BN still didn't realise they lost not because they do not have personal blogs or friendsters, they still think opposition leaders misleading public into believing what they say, and they still think they have done nothing wrong in process leading up to election and many many more.

In view of this we can see this Pak Lah lead BN government is really nothing good except for corruption. So we have made the right choice in discarding them at least in 5 of the states. Hope the Pak Lah and his beloved SIL will be discard as well in the foreseeble future.

I find your article - neutral in many ways. But let me reemphasize one point. As long as BN acts as if they own the country by deferring projects to opposition states, we will not be cowed into voting for them. It's time to move on to a new government and let them learn how to act in a territory known as opposition. I am very angry and i will continue to be angry until 2013.

It is because of BN fellas that I have this skewed opinion that all politicians are just a bunch of dirty, greedy, power-crazy idiots. Though, mind you, not all Opposition leaders are good or of high-calibre too. I guess there's good and bad in any party, the question is how much good or bad and how much control the leadership has of its members.
