Thoughts on the 13th General Election.

It’s my humble opinion that all indications are favoring the BN in the next polls. In this, much credit is due to the PM, his initiatives and tireless effort.

The general public is now more supportive of government policies and fence sitters are becoming convinced that they should not trust the opposition and this for two main reasons. Firstly, that they eat their own words and secondly that unity among them is a charade because they distrust each other like never before.

This coming general elections will bring out the worst in them. It will be a do or die thing because they have never before so close to grasping the federal government. Maybe we will see some desperate acts.

PKR, as it is wont, will try to beguile voters by exploiting human rights to curry favor from foreign parties / sponsors. Thus they will campaign for pluralism and LGBT rights, however foreign it might be to our society. They will continue to spread lies about the PM, his wife and slender the government till their throats becomes sore.

PAS, an extremist party will abuse Islam for whatever little political gain might accrue to them. UMNO and its supporters will continue to be labeled kafirs, murtad and mungkar. More than that, they have conducted mass prayers harshly urging God to bring down destruction upon UMNO and the BN government.

As for DAP, its true colors has finally surfaced. It has exposed itself as a truly racist party, demarcating itself among racial lines. The public is more than ever aware now that its members are without exception Chinese chauvinists. Lim Kit Siang’s Malaysian Malaysia call all these while is nothing more than an attempt to hoodwink reasonable and rational Chinese into forsaking MCA and leaving the BN.

For the BN, however, there is confidence in the air and it’s almost tangible. It’s a good feeling I might add. All the more reason for BN to be extra careful lest it be misconstrued for arrogance.

BN could win 2/3 majority if it really wants to, InsyaAllah, so long as there are no serious glitches within the government or party between now and the elections.  

Opposition website is another matter though. However they are saturated with lies and inconsistencies. Only the diehard supporter would continue to believe them. Still, Chinese voters are rather unpredictable and cold be swayed to vote for the opposition if the DAP again decides to play the racial card and it’s not checked.

The DAP is also very adept at creating a sense of deprivation among the Chinese vis a vie the Malays and thus instigate them. The opposition will resort to these and other more reprehensible tactics for obvious reasons and ardently too.

The authorities will be in a conundrum then. Taking action will result in being accused of being hard handed, denying the opposition their democratic rights and of being unjust. This would be the trump card needed to rally their supporters, get onto their streets and cause mayhem. 

Not taking action, the more likely scenario knowing Hishamuddin, would mean allowing the opposition to raise hatred against UMNO and PERKASA. Should any one of the two then decide to reciprocate there is no telling what would ensue. The possible result is a disruption of public order. Anyone who has had dealings with Anwar knows he has a penchant for forementing it.

Any kind of trouble during or after the elections would mean a field day for the opposition and the foreign media who have proven time and time again to be biased for the oppositions.

If disenchantment towards the government spreads to become popular unrest, it will present Anwar the Arab Spring which he so covets, then he would have his harvest which he would gleefully reap. God forbid.
