Why does the majority

=C2=A0

Why? Why?
Why?=20

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

(hehe=E2=80=A6ini lah
the million dollar question that must have echoed in the minds of BN leader=
s at
all levels).=20

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

So why?=20

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

Well, you can
get many answers from many people, but to me, I think the SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR is=E2=80=A6=E2=80=A6</=
b>=20

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

<ul type=3D"disc">
<li class=3D"MsoNormal" style=3D"color:red;text-align:justify;">=E2=80=A6due to the strong
perception of corruption.=
</li>=20
</ul>

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

In short, the
rakyat want good governance, and clean and ef=
fective
leaders.=20

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

Yang rakyat
didahulukan, bukan diri dan keluarga didahulukan. Issues like NFC, Port Kla=
ng
FTZ fiasco, AES, ahli keluarga menteri dapat kontrak, all stick out like a =
sore
thumb, and unfortunately =C2=A0just OVERSHADOW
all the good efforts by the PM and the BN Govt. =20

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

Notice that
that was also the same reason that many people didn't vote BN back in
2008,=C2=A0 except that then, weak and bad
leadership was another important factor as well.=20

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

Of course
other factors like racism compounded the problem further. But still, the
single most important factor that led the majority of the rakyat to rej=
ect
BN is still corruption and lack of good governance, in my humble opinion.</=
span>=20

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

<ul type=3D"disc">
<li class=3D"MsoNormal" style=3D"color:red;text-align:justify;">If BN can improve on
that perception, I believe they all will come back to support BN.=C2=
=A0 (If BN doesn't do that=
, I think it is bound to
lose in the next GE).</li>=20
</ul>

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

Why? All
other ingredients like good vision, good plans, good economic management et=
c,
are already there for BN.=20

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

Bear in mind
that the Opposition theme of "Ubah", ," Ini kali lah", =
all centred on the issue
of having a good and corrupt free Government. That is their CORE
issue! (Go and listen to their ceramahs lah on You Tube). Meaning, more
people bought their propaganda since BN lost the popular vote in =C2=A0GE-1=
3. =20

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

Of course,
you have sweeteners like free education, low car prices etc offered by the
Opposition, but still, the core issue is corruption and lack of good govern=
ance.
That delivered the Opposition the votes in large numbers in my humbl=
e
opinion.=20

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

So what can
be done by BN to improve on that perception?=20

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

2 things
in my humble opinion;=20

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

<ol start=3D"1" type=3D"1">
<li class=3D"MsoNormal" style=3D"color:red;text-align:justify;">Get
leaders (with less or no baggage at
all, and not tainted by big scandals or corruption) at all levels.=
</li>=20
</ol>

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

<ol start=3D"2" type=3D"1">
<li class=3D"MsoNormal" style=3D"color:red;text-align:justify;">Overhaul
the way the Govt (and even UMNO) does its work. New and better approac=
hes needed.</li>=20
</ol>

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

The PM should
start with the cabinet. Already there are calls for those NOT tainted to be=
fielded
as ministers. See <a rel=3D"nofollow" href=3D"http://syedsoutsid=
ethebox.blogspot.com/2013/05/new-cabinet-losing-pru14-over-next-few.html" t=
arget=3D"_blank">http://syedsoutsidethebox.blogspot.com/2013/05/new-cabinet=
-losing-pru14-over-next-few.html</a></=
span>
=20

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

I don't think
it's difficult for the PM to get less baggage punya leaders. There'=
re many new
faces he can chose from amongst the MPs. Just give them a chance to prove
themselves. (If Tun Hussein and Tun Dr. M didn't give Najib a chance ba=
ck then,
he wouldn't have a shot in politics at such a young age. Of course the =
issue of
Tun Razak died then is another matter).=20

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

Or he can
pick from amongst the corporate, business community, NGOs etc. There is no
short of talents or smart people in M'sia.=20

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

Or he can
pick from the existing crop of leaders yang takde baggage. =
=20

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

By the way, now
we're already seeing some politicians, by using the media, taking advan=
tage in wanting
to "push" themselves into the cabinet, thinking that PM Najib has=
been weakened
by the elections results.=20

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

Actually, PM
Najib's political situation in UMNO is not that bad. The conditions tha=
t were
prevalent then in pushing Pak Lah out, are NOT prevalent now. Meaning that =
PM Najib has still some leeway, with the support of DPM Muhyiddin, to pick =
who he wants and who to exclude from the cabinet, without worrying of any =
=C2=A0potential backlash, even if they're holding or not holding big po=
sts in the political parties.
=20

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

What
conditions?=20

<li class=3D"MsoNormal" style=3D"text-align:justify;">There

=C2=A0

Appears that
PM Najib is already playing the safe game by not changing most of the Mente=
ri
Besar. When you remove someone from a post, most likely he will get angry a=
nd
will start to find ways to hit back at you. So by maintaining the status qu=
o,
there is less political risks for PM Najib.=20

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

(But for
Johor and Perlis, the decision to move out the former MBs was made prior to
GE-13 and not after; the then Perlis MB was not fielded as a candidate and
Ghani Othman moved to contest a Parliamentary seat).=20

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

Plus the
rakyat's=C2=A0 focus and pressure has been
more on the cabinet, instead of the MBs, CMs or their exco line-up. That&#3=
9;s why,
by even maintaing the status quo of MBs and CMs, there is hardly any critic=
ism
against PM Najib. Try doing the same for the cabinet and he'll be bomba=
rded =C2=A0with criticisms.=20

OK, dah digress terlalu banyak. Now, back to the core issue, =
=C2=A0and my conclusion is:=20

 

<ul type=3D"disc">
<li class=3D"MsoNormal" style=3D"text-align:justify;">BN should improve its
image i.e. shed its image on corruption, having self-serving leaders a=
nd bad
governance. =C2=A0That is the SINGLE MOST
IMPORTANT FACTOR that drove many people to support the Opposition.</sp=
an></li>=20
</ul>

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

<ul type=3D"disc">
<li class=3D"MsoNormal" style=3D"text-align:justify;">In short, the rakyat
want clean and effective leaders, and good governance. Do that and I
believe BN can win back support. =C2=A0(Even
from the Chinese, and urban and educated Malays).</li>=20
</ul>

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

<ul type=3D"disc">
<li class=3D"MsoNormal" style=3D"text-align:justify;">The first step is by
instituting many clean faces in the cabinet line-up, (or if old faces,
then those not tainted by scandals, corruption or ada baggage). Put up
faces that the rakyat can trust. And those yang perceived clean, ada
intelligence, integrity and can work. (Macam
Tok Pa, Idris Jala and others. And maybe bring back Ong Tee Kiat,
since he was the one who exposed the PKFZ scandal. Yang ada perception
problem pada zaman Pak Lah itu plus the cause of all BN woes, itu semu=
a patut,
exclude them).</li>=20
</ul>

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

<ul type=3D"disc">
<li class=3D"MsoNormal" style=3D"text-align:justify;">Remember, that those
who are or were part of the (perceived) problem, should not be part of=
the
solution=E2=80=A6..Otherwise, you're back to square one. If BN doe=
sn't solve that
image and perception problem, then it will be doom in the next GE!</sp=
an></li>=20
</ul>

=C2=A0

=C2=A0

Salam, =20

Don=20

 p.s. On my
second point about the BN Govt should overhaul the way it (and even UMNO) d=
oes
its work, itu lain kali saya cerita lah.</div>
