Although it is a long way to the next elections, the current developments we are seeing will, in my opinion, be decisive in shaping the outcome and winner of the next elections. Firstly, we have seen a lot of adverse publicity given to the break up of the Pakatan.
Pro-BN observers and also some disillusioned opposition supporters are claiming this is dealing a death blow to the opposition's election hopes. But is this so? I beg to differ from them.
What is happening to the Pakatan is actually a blessing in disguise for them. In fact, it is a big blessing. This is because if we look at the political configuration closely, it is not that the opposition coalition is breaking up. It is the hard line faction of Pas that is splitting from the rest of the Pakatan. This faction wants to chart a future for the country based on Islamic law and a more rigid Islamic state. But can they succeed?
Well, despite the conservative candidates sweeping all the leadership positions in the recent Pas elections, deep down I am sure that they realize that they represent only a minority of the Malay Muslim population. My reading is that the majority of Muslims do not want a more fundamentalist Islamic society. They may have concerns about some aspects of modern life and western values. But even the less educated among them know what has been happening in fundamentalist Islamic nations.
All Islamic Nations are getting worse: How can religious preachers rule?
Without any exception, all the Muslims in Syria, Yemen, Iran, Iraq etc are killing one and other. These Islamic states have all gone downhill; their economies have gone kaput; their educated and best people have migrated and the ordinary people and middle class have suffered most. In this 21stcentury, how can you have preachers and religious interpreters of a holy book written many centuries ago run a government based on their interpretation of the Koran?
Can these ulama claim that that they are the right people to lead the country when it is clear that they are only fit to lead religious ceremonies and institutions, and no more? They may be able to fool some uneducated rural communities but not the majority of Malaysians.
So with the belated departure of the ulama faction what has remained in the opposition now is the core DAP and PKR parties which are united by their moderate, secular and pro-rakyat common policy platform. This platform - which I should point out was supported by more than half the country's electorate during the last elections - only needs a bit of refining for it to convince Malaysians that they are voting for the right party committed to modern development, justice and good governance.
No need for the two core parties to reinvent the wheel. There should be no religious content in it, no religious salesmanship or one-upmanship needed! No need to devote any attention to hudud. Just keep cool and let Pas and UMNO battle it out on the hudud and Islamic state issue in the next elections.
I am especially encouraged and excited by the prospect of a breakaway group of Pas moderates linking up with the opposition. This is a development that I have advocated and written about on several occasions. Pas moderates presently in Parliament have an impeccable track record of service. If they contest in the next elections under a new Islamic party or as part of a re-engineered Pakatan, I am sure that they will be returned with greater majorities.
It is not only Pas breakaway groups that will help break the BN monopoly of power. The potential for a larger opposition win exists because of what is happening in Sabah and Sarawak. In those states Najib and Barisan are scrambling to undo the harm caused by BN misrule and UMNO colonialism of the two states. Treated like step children in the past, swarmed by hundreds of thousands of foreign migrants as a result of Dr. Mahathir's 'close two eyes' immigration policy, exploited of their natural wealth, I predict that the electorate in East Malaysia will deal the death blow to the BN.
Why do I say this? I know that Najib is throwing hundreds of million – some say, billions - of ringgit in the direction of East Malaysia in an effort to make up for the BN's past sins. But I am confident that the young generation of voters know that as long as UMNO calls the shot in national politics, their future will never improve.
Ketuanan Melayu and ketuanan Islam will mean that East Malaysians and their livelihoods, culture, language and religion will always have to take second place and they will be provided with inferior positions and resources. Just look at the latest Malaysia Plan and budget.
UMNO's dominance of Barisan will mean that however good the East Malaysian is, an UMNO sponsored or affiliated candidate – in school, university, employment, government service, private sector – will always be top dog. East Malaysians will be left the crumbs after UMNO and its East Malaysia collaborators such as former Sarawak Chief Minister Taib have creamed off billions of ringgit.
Barisan's Death Spiral
Even if it is argued that the opposition is in bad shape, the BN is in far worse shape. It is in a downward death spiral from which I can see no recovery. The Mahathir-Najib power struggle has exposed so much dirt which is being disseminated through the BN – not the opposition - mass media! This dirt can be used by the opposition as ammunition for the next elections.
Meanwhile the 1MDB financial scandal and GST imposition have made ordinary people see clearly the direct connection between their rising cost of living and the BN Government's mismanagement, abuses and stupidity. Come election day we can be sure that there is no way the Barisan Government can bring down the price of essential goods, food and utilities.
Everything has gone up since the GST was introduced and the falling ringgit has made it even worse. The falling ringgit and higher cost of living have been blamed by Dr. Mahathir on Najib's bad economic policies. But according to Bank Negara it is because of Dr. Mahathir's big mouth. I am sure that ordinary Malaysians know that it has been a combination of Dr. Mahathir's and Dato Seri Najib's leadership and Barisan misgovernance that accounts for why the rakyat are suffering.
I predict the next elections will see the voters punish the BN by giving them their worst defeat ever.

Look like no way out. Any practical way then?
Hope more moderate Malay? Possible?
No future for next generation? Migrate? Or turn to bumi status?
Let country go backward until default and need external help? Social problem then?
No political party win next election! Hug Goverment! Every state take their own care?
Just some my laymen thought.

Fortune...look at izoklse argument... I suggest all indians and chinese convert to islam...and embrace hudud.
Afterall...whats is the battle for?
No matter how rational you are.....the fundamental forces of your deep motives are just sex and money,i.e power.
let go of your ego...
just enjoy 'making love' with the apes....
they are not very different than you are.
2015-06-27 17:31
the only problem after that is...
the apes may again try to separate again with
shiite and sunni belief..
and may be fragmented further..
then again another party might emerge..
and i suggest you chose the majority party at that time..
less headache for u!
well..at least in principle thats how we should select stocks..
he he ..:)
2015-06-27 17:38
..little snake...did u address to me?
I am not a politician...i do not vote...
I encourage people to think out of the box.
If you are not inheriting the 'ape' genes or not influence by any religous believes...
u should be be able to..
understand the hidden messages..
written under frustration..
2015-06-27 18:49
what is the definition of my "son' - living organism having 50% of your genes..
my 'grandchildren' - 25% of your genes...
So..you are 25 % of your grandparents genes...and your grandfather said the same thing - he want to take care of his grandchildren's future... How about your sibling's grandchildren - that 12.5 % genes..
Does it actually make a differenc to you - if your siblings grandchildren have a good life..or your grandchildrens have a good life..or if the apes genes have a good life?
How did you separate yourself from these gene pool? How do you define your boundary...??
Ha ha ha ha...

If we cannot have decent discussion to prevent 'hudud' implementation in Malaysia with the malay majority....what else can we really do?
We can forget about our future in Malaysia..
That includes earning and making money from the market.
At the parliment level..obviously we do not get a seat to debate an influence.I see no harm bringing out such 'extremely important' topic
for people to realize....
These realization may turn out to be very detrimental to our future.

Good and bad is the same in this universe, good is for self-contentment so that if you are feeling good you don't stage a fight with other people. Good is what pulls you back from annoying other people; So, what is bad? Bad is what motives you to work harder by coorperating with other people because one person's power is limited.
We all are going to die some time in the future, whether how many good or bad experiences we have are not going to make a difference to us.
I still believe in the credibility of the present government, we should not expect life to be a perfect place to live, so what we have floods or other misgivings, the most important thing is we continue to make improvements on our owns. It is more important for you to improve yourself than to talk bad about other people, get it, Mr. K!

actually come to think of it...lets face the following facts:
(1) Every race would think their race is superior - the best..same goes to religion. If you argue..then the pukimak words and cibai will surface..
(2) Going deeper...even every individual actually think they are the best - 'the chosen one'...you can even ask a drunken beggar beside the road...a bandit inside the prison...or a security guard who is sleeping in duty...deep inside they think they are greater than any of the man they have come across..of course they won't tell this to you la...
So...lets not argue on these topic...as it's a war which can never be won. (You may only have chance to win when you involve a third party to judge)
Now...what we actually need to fight for:
- Is to establish is the basic human rights...or justice...independent of religion, race, gender, age....
And this should be available for every single human...independent of the country or the country laws....this need be implemented by the super powers.
We have started seeing these basic rights is being slowly getting eroded in bolehland..
Aunty's pants got covered...i don't care about the Diwali date changes..but things like 24 hrs mamak stall? ...and hudud for other race/religion..ITS AN ABSOLUTE NO! NO!.
And...we should use the power of information technology to get assistance from these superpowers if assistance is required.
Yeah.....do you think China will stay quiet?
Perhaps India will..
Would U.S support us?
Soon we need to start voicing internally first....

I can imagine that one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly and allow themselves to be consumed by emotional hateful thinking is because they sense that once hate is gone...they will be forced to deal with pain in dealing with the void in themselves....so they rather cling on to their hates...be in their comfort zones as they feel better..little did they realize that they are indeed a menace to themselves and to others...for those with an iota of objective driven thinking..it is still not too late..better late than never!!!
As the late Martin Luther King said...."Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that"
Why persist in writing such hateful comments which waste everyone's time and worst still is totally unproductive??? Why write in the first place ??? What motivates one to hate ? Why must one allow oneself to be consumed by emotional driven thinking??? and why hide under multiple identities?? Do you have everything to hide and zero constructive comments to offer in this forum??

In Kelantan, PAS forms its base because they can fool the people of Kelantan who are quite poor. PAS' little group of people holding so many people to ransom with their little thoughts. When this little group comes to power they sit on high chairs. They look funny. They wear finery to display to their fellow little power group as if they are in some sort of fashion competition while the people are in sarongs. I do not begrude them at all.
2015-06-28 22:48
At least PAS in Kelantan knows its power base is in the poor people of Kelantan. They dare not fool their base too much. Its their rice bowl. Unlike BN which has people in power who think they own the country. BN deceives the people much like a school boy deceives his parents of money so that he can go have some fun with his classmates.
2015-06-28 22:55
Kelantan is half a century behind the rest of the country. In another 50 years, it will be a century behind.
2015-06-28 23:18
i don't know why this post exist in I3investor.. seriously. but in regard to kelantan, i frequently went there because my grandma lives there.. the people are nice, but the road are very poor. potholes everywhere, but same with other states in malaysia too. full with potholes...
2015-06-28 23:24
There are potholes all over because of guys like Khalid Ibrahim who when he was Menteri Besar, did not know how to spend the rakyat's money which was supposed to be spent for betterment of Selangor. So we have broken and rusted railings along the overhead bridge above the Fed highway, besides KWSP PJ for e.g. That is a very simple matter to resolve but it has not been done despite my writing on this point for so long. Such a disgrace. That's for the little ruling mind. We want to live in nice cities, with nice environment, good street lightings and rubbish collected in time. That's to want the least of a govt. though not the end of our expectations. They write they are the top management on bill boards, and I do not blame them. They will keep making a mess of things; you cannot help it cos' they are born like this. The thing to note is Malaysians of ALL walks of life get hurt by such incompetence. This will be very very costly to our country over time.

The PAS progressive would have excellent future IF they join DAP. Similarly Malaysian would have bright future as well.

Rajapetra, mass media play an important role in shaping public opinion. Pre-2000, we only get information from mainstream media. Post-2000, with the Internet, people are starting to wake up to the reality of the situation and opinions are being shaped. Don't think about it in terms of race/religion ; urban/rural , but rather how information is being disseminated to the people.
