Datuk Nik, you are right in pointing out. BN, made up of 14 component parties should start thinking of a single truly national multiracial party. BN have all the races in the party and the leaders can come together to work out a formula to turn BN into a single unit. By merging parties together with a common purpose, we give power to the people or Rakyat to have one voice and create he true meaning of Bangsa Malaysia or Rakyat Malaysia. Merging brings about the possibility of working closely together to have a better dialogue with and a better understanding of each other and work towards realising the goals of Vision 2020.
Personally, I see a merger as a better option than a coalition. The reasons for this are simple. Unification immediately resolves the problem of race-based parties contest and the difficulties posed by optional preferential voting because there will be one race party standing right across the State. It minimises policy differences becausse policy is developed as one party, nor will there be any hidden agenda as to which party is to be senior to the other. Further, it allows the scare resources available for running a political campaign to be most effectively used for achieving one goal - a consensus government. Simply, donors will not throw their money away by giving it to divided political causes.
My last thought is if we are true to BN, we should dissolve all the 14 parties and form a single party... The creation of a super-party from the benefits of a political merger. Onn Jaafar have left us with a name ...that is UMNO -United Malaysian National Organisation. For a better tomorrow, we need to heed Onn Jaafar's wisdom and to move forward and go for a BN merger. By doing this we know ...this would set the country on a path to one-party rule serving all races and leading to a two-party system for Malaysia, we love.
