Federal Government and State Government

What are the implications of Hulu Selangor by-election result? Are people swinging back their support towards BN? Are the people giving up on PR for their failure to changed?

BN's win in the most recent by-election may indicating that people are slowly turning their back on PR, and they are feeling BN is the more proper party to bring the area forward. PR may have failed in certain aspect of their responsibilities, and they are unable to change many things in the area.

All these were caused by one similar aspect - BN is the controlling government. True PR may have fail in delivering their promises, but have all these people forgotten that BN is the controlling party and they can deny or reject some of the PR motion. We have seen this not first, not second but many times over the years that opposition held area are slow to develop and they always facing some difficulties when facing authority.

For instance, I recently rented my shoplot to a hotel operator, whom already owned several hotels around Klang Valley. They are now facing some slow approval, application being passing around, reject of application without valid reason, or worst still being call upon to investigate their approval of the hotel license application.

This is what I personally seen, and from what he describe as "Done on Purpose" by the federal government. Application submitted to town council has been approved and permit granted for operation, yet someone from federal government come by to seek for their permit, and questioned it's a fake license, where they bought the license from etc.

When he went to town council to clarify, there's nothing wrong with the permit, and that the explanation or clarification sent to federal government, it was rejected or seeking more info or whatever reason to make the hotel operator being torn apart by both parties. If not mistaken, permit is issued by the town council, and once approved, business can be operated. Federal government should not be interfering with the local authority with such things.

The only valid reason I believe is that federal government is doing all these on purpose so that locals will feel helpless with state government, and in order to make people feeling the helplessness of state government, or perhaps opposition party they are doing so achieve their aims.

So I still strongly believe BN is the stinking party that would do anything un-gentleman and do whatever it took to get the state back from opposition. This is the dark side of BN and they will never change. I now pray for the Hulu Selangor residents, hope they will not suffer after BN won the by-election there.
