BN have been blinded by success. 2004 astounding success which turns to arrogance, complacency and we know it all….lead BN to lose 2/3 majority in March 8, 2008 general election. The big swing towards opposition only shows that the Rakyat who supported BN in 2004 with over 2/3 majority was extremely disheartened with the BN performance and promises.
BN over confidence and lack of political wisdom in seeing what was coming in the March 8 general election resulted in political suicide and huge losses for a number of big guns, who are President, Secretary General, Wanita Chief and others of component party namely UMNO, MCA, MIC, GERAKAN and PPP. Collectively, BN did not do the right thing even though the Rakyat was telling BN to change. Change for the Better was what the Rakyat wanted. But BN did not LISTEN and the Rakyat voted for the Opposition for a Change, they can believe in. Today, BN is now in a shamble.
Loyal supporters, who still believe in BN, must come out with “outside the box” fresh strategies to rebuild, reload, restructure, re-strategize all the component parties together. Together, BN will need to refocus and give a NEW DIRECTION we need for this multiracial country.
Above all, BN will need to LISTEN to members and Rakyat with a caring, sharing and serving attitude. The 14 component parties in BN must not be afraid to allow their members and also the Rakyat to voice their constructive views and opinions. BN must learn to take all criticism constructively and promised not to “kill” or silenced members or victimized Rakyat for being bold to speak up.
The leaders in the component parties should not let “FEAR” rule BN. BN should be like a big FAMILY, who care, share and serve each other like brothers and sisters.
Which race lead is not important at all. Whoever is capable to care, share and serve the Rakyat and build a better and prosperous Nation is more important for our future generation. It doesn’t matter whether you are Malay, Indian or Chinese, BN will care for all.
The time is just right we need to move away from a race-based or religion-based party. Together with the 14 component parties, BN must move forward and work towards a single race party – whoever is capable, trustworthy, sincere will become the leader.
The time is also right for a two-Party System which Kayveas have been promoting for many years. Using this as a BN offensive, PKR-PAS-DAP will have problems. Why? They would not be able to consolidate because of their different ideologies and objectives. But in BN we can, we have work together for many years as a component party and BN can trash (mess, disorganize) the Opposition by creating a single BN.
Now is the time for BN to show that BN play a fair game in the eyes of the Rakyat. BN will support a leader from any race being it Malay, Indian or Chinese to be the leader of Malaysia. Today, the whole world will witness a historic event happening in the United States of America by the end of 2008. We will witness the sworn in of an African-American Senator Barack Obama as President of the United States of America.
BN must lead by example for a fairer and more just BN Party with equal opportunities for all Malaysians. Our Federal Constitution must be relook, make fairer and just to offer equal opportunities and rights for Malaysians. Basically as an example, Chinese are slowly becoming like OCBC – Orang Cina Bukan Cina. Chinese are now more Malaysian and as Malaysians, we should be given equal opportunities and rights too.
For some BN Wakil Rakyat, Aduns, or Politician, it is the end of the world or end of politics. Frankly, this is not. Rebuild your image as a Politicians, be an incredibly honest person and does what you promises to do. As a true BN fighter, be strong, committed and faced it. Enlighten BN to “DO THE RIGHT THINGS RIGHT” to all and I strongly believe our Malaysian Voters who still loved us will definitely switch their vote back to BN again.
BN must COME TOGETHER quickly behind a common purpose and work hard to keep sincere promises to all Malaysians. BN should start to LISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN more, on what people say and LEARN, LEARN, LEARN from mistake and rise again. BN will re-brand and become a listening party and give a clear choice for all Malaysians.
Today, BN is an OPPOSITION in five States (Penang, Perak, Kedah, Kelantan, Selangor), so WHAT WE NEED TO DO NOW?
BN will strive to be the best and most efficient Opposition Party. BN will check and watch the new PKR-DAP-PAS Government to ensure they fulfill all its promises. BN will distribute PKR-DAP-PAS manifesto to all our BN members to make sure they keep their promises to US.
As BN offensive, our former MB, Dr. Khir Toyo said we had already started to register all 62 year old in Selangor in the Government Hospitals as the Opposition had promised that those above 62 years old in the State will receive FREE HEALTHCARE.
Another BN offensive, we will also register all children to childcare centers in Selangor to provide FREE CHILDCARE, also promised by the new State Government.
BN will work even harder and help the Young, the Old and all Malaysians who have voted them out to ensure that the new Government in the five States kept their promises. BN action does not mean, BN are helping the Opposition Led Government but merely to ensure the Rakyat issues are satisfied.
GOD BLESS MALAYSIA.
