I am no hardcore political party supporter or an avid follower of our politics but I am a strong supporter of Malaysia having two-party politics (not sole party domination as we have witnessed all this while). Thus I stayed up alone awaiting PRU results announcement and as soon as it was announced...BN won federal government, I became disappointed and went to sleep.
At one glance, it appeared as PR's show in 2008 was far better than 2013; winning 5 states & declined BN 2/3rd majority in Parliament.This time, there is only 3 states to show & additional 7 parliament seats. But if we detail the inroads PR has made, it is indeed an election with better success for PR & Malaysians particularly.
Take a look at Selangor, where PR successfully returned to power with greater mandate. 44 out of 56 seats were delivered to PR (additional 8 seats). 10 new seats - Sabak, Kuala Kubu Baru, Taman Templer, Dusun Tua, Seri Serdang, Paya Jaras, Sementa, Morib, Tanjung Sepat, and Sungai Pelek) They also lost previously won Kota Damansara due to failure to reach an agreement between PKR & PAS) & Semenyih. Most of these seats are Malay-majority constituencies & semi-urban. While DAP had an excellent election, PAS relatively had a quiet run except in Selangor, where they won 15 seats (compared to 8 in last PRU).
What does this shows? Najib's claim of Chinese tsunami is a mere racist statement by the so-called 1Malaysia champion. Malaysians of Chinese descend rejected BN. They indeed voted for PR. Another aspect is support towards PR & PAS among urban & semi-urban Malay voters are indeed great. But then why rural & semi-rural Malays somehow rejected PAS (esp in Kedah)?
Is Racial sentiment played by BN contributed to this?....A VOTE FOR PAS is A VOTE FOR DAP... DAP WILL END MALAY SUPREMACY, SPECIAL RIGHTS etc. (WE were able to see this wordings on newspaper all along that campaign period. Who is racist bro..PR ka BN?
There are areas of Chinese majority, where non-Chinese candidates of PR prevailed over Chinese candidates of BN (i.e. Raub, Mentakab, Pandan).
Now that PRU is over, can we get back to work, propel the nation forward & ensure wealth is fairly distributed?
To PR leaders & supporters : Yes..they won with some flaws & cheats...Fine if you want to expose them. Do it by legal means; though we might not get the justice. Be a good cop for rakyat by exposing BN's wrongdoings & create more awareness among Malaysians that they deserve more than BRIM, KRIM etc. Prove to rakyat, you can be a better government. Most importantly, never become big-headed once you are in power!
To BN leaders & supporters : Stop inciting racial tensions...face the fact than you are losing faith among majority of rakyat. Stop the irritating money politics! If you repent & do a lot more things (as u should have done) to rakyat, you might regain rakyat's faith.
To some Malay NGOs : stop being a bull dog by boycotting Chinese products. Islam never taught us to do this. Remember, even Nabi Muhammad did business deals with the Jews & only went against them when these Jews betrayed & threatened Muslims. Even that is after Nabi has preached to them about Islam. Have we preached to our Chinese not-yet muslim friends about Islam? Do you have evidences that they are against Islam? The answer is no to both i guess :)
Let us reconcile & contribute towards development of the country for all. Uphold Islam in all aspects & no one will be sidelined..as Islam came as a guidance to mankind of all races! Take heed of Nabi Muhammad's example of creating a nation called Madina & the rules in Madina Shield (Piagam Madinah); where in rights of every citizen (Muslims, Jews, Christians & Pagans) were taken into consideration & upheld with no compromise & unjust.
