PAKATAN is All Charade and Bluster.

PAKATAN is campaigning for the voters to give them a try at forming the next government. They plead and coax for the people to give them this one chance with the condition that if they do not deliver on their promises, the rakyat could always throw them out after 5 yrs.  

Five years however, is a rather long time in terms of governing a country. During that period irreparable damage could be done. Currently, PAKATAN is the government in several states. Their performance after almost 5 yrs though, is dismally poor, to say the least. In Selangor especially, PAKATAN's manifesto are all now just so much bunkum. The Menteri Besar seems to be at a loss in many instances. He is up to his nostrils with issues he can't solve. He is even now facing legal action on several counts due to unfulfilled promises and for misleading the people. Given this bad record, it certainly would be foolhardy and an unnecessary risk to let PAKATAN win the elections in Selangor again. 

Another ruse popular with PAKATAN is that they say the BN has been there for too long and that a change would do the country good. But what sort of change are they offering? They have nothing to show for themselves. Unabashedly, however, they continue to make pledges and promises to bait voters, all of which upon scrutiny is farcical.  

Give PAKATAN the country and they will make it go bust in no time. It will be like the Malay proverb, seperti tikus membaiki labu or more aptly seperti kera mendapat bunga. It will surely be destroyed.   

Anwar and his ilk realises that PAKATAN is losing voter confidence everyday for minus all the bluster it has not much else to show. Also, they are so diversely opposed to each other that everyday the cracks between them are growing wider.  

PAS is an intolerant and orthodox party that does not condone freedom of expression or dissent, even within it's ranks. DAP is a chauvinist Chinese party. What is common between them is their desire for Chinese and Malay votes. If not for that they are as opposed to each other as can be, whilst PKR is for pluralism and LGBT which is alien to a vast majority of Malaysians but Anwar hoists it under the guise of human rights.

PAKATAN leaders would try to make a show of accommodating each other, but the charade is so blatantly obvious that nobody is fooled anymore except for the blinkered hardcore.  

PAS supporters at the grassroots, now more than ever, are voicing their dissent. They have lost face because their leaders are fawning and submissive in the presence of DAP leaders. They also feel betrayed because Islam has been pawned for Chinese votes.  The political parties within PAKATAN’s tolerance for each other are only held together by their desire to. 

The BN on the other hand has helmed this country well through the years ever since independence. During bad times and during crisis the BN has proven itself courageous and wise.  It's track record cannot be gainsaid and the country is today a symbol of prosperity and progress. There are countries that look to Malaysia for guidance and many also wish to emulate the country's success.  

BN does not promise the people Utopia. No temporal government can promise that. There have been/are shortcomings. There is no denying that. But every effort is made to remedy them and make things right and better. 

Since Najib became PM, he has transformed the government by introducing new ways of thinking and doing things. Serving the people well is his first priority. He has made brave political and social changes to fulfill the peoples aspirations.  

On the economic front, he has initiated a slew of innovative initiatives that has enabled the country to enjoy strong growth despite the very unfavorable conditions globally.  

The BN today is not the Alliance Party it once was. It has evolved to meet the peoples expectations and changing demands albeit without sacrificing it's founding principles. As a political entity it is dynamic and thus has kept itself in tune with the changing political environment, the wishes of the people and the challenges facing the world. It learns, unlearns and relearns and this has kept and made BN relevant despite the times.   

I have no prejudice towards Kit Siang, Karpal, Hj. Hadi, or Nik Aziz, leaders of PAKATAN. But each one and all of them do not strike confidence in me. They all have been there for far longer than they ought to be. Now they are feeble in mind and body, not unlike the political parties they lead, which also have become archaic in mode, thought and action.       

PAKATAN opposes the BN for the sake of opposing. It's not about policies or principles at all. For how else could Lim Kit Siang blame UMNO, BN Ministers and leaders for the tragedy that befell the unfortunate child William Yau Zhen Zhong. Just what was going on in his mind at the time when he uttered those words? If there is fault anywhere, then it must surely lie with the parents. For Kit Siang to blame UMNO firstly is just so irrational. But this is the sort of opposition the country has. The sort that disparages the country anywhere and anytime. Yet they deem themselves fit to run the country and is asking the rakyat to trust them.  

Come the 13th General Elections voters must evaluate and think rationally. Emotions must not be allowed to hold sway. Sentiments must be discarded.  

Let’s not take unnecessary risks when what is at stake is the very future of our beloved country. So I say, lets vote for unity and harmony, progress and prosperity, which only the BN can deliver.
