BR - Stop fighting the battle and start winning the war, DAMMIT!

The developments in the past 3 days have shown that the rakyat are not biased. We support good people to be our leaders. We do NOT support extremists, irrational people and cowards.

In this present time, the people of Malaysia are less forgiving (as they should be) and less tolerant of corruption, idiocy and misconducts. For this I applaud Malaysians for using the power that you have by voting.

Lim Kit Siang's actions, to me, is forgivable (because I am a forgiving person) but will I forget? No.

Now suspicions are amok against DAP's real purpose. Is it for a Malaysian Malaysia? Is it for a DAP Malaysia? Or what?

LKS deserved to be in Zorro's fart chamber. In fact he deserved it more than anyone. Why? Because I can expect my enemy to betray me, but to be betrayed by my own friend? It is even worse. And to think he was my hero...he let me down big time.

Did we expect too much from him? I don't think so. Did he have to announce the cracks in the Barisan Rakyat? No. But he went and let Barisan Najis score a few points.

Some people say "he's a veteran, he's playing a chess game. He's got something up his sleeve."
My question is, "Why is he doing it at the expense of BR? Why is he doing it at the expense of shaking and scaring the malays? Why is he dividing the races?" I was shocked to the bone when he made the announcement.

We don't need scandals and cheap URTV (karut) style sensationalism. We need a united front.

AND I DON'T APPRECIATE HIM BREAKING RANKS.

I met a numerologist friend and analysed Barisan Nasional and UMNO. After looking at the numbers, the conclusion was that Perikatan (old BN name) is lousy but Barisan Nasional is good because they 'stick together'.

THAT ladies and gentlemen, is what we all must do. Now that we have created some balance, we must not lower our expectations.

Apology or not, I think LKS made a grave mistake. Why couldn't the problem be solved behind closed doors? Why the ANNOUNCEMENT? What happened to "think first, talk after"? Didn't the BR consider this possibility when they decided on an alliance?

Apology accepted in my books but not everyone will forgive. Put it this way: Just because a BN guy says sorry for screwing the people, doesn't it mean we HAVE to forgive him. (BN Guy: Hey, I already said sorry okaaayy?)

This article was written about the man, and not the party. I fault him for his words, but I don't blame the party because although he told his people not to go to the ceremony, some said they would attend anyways.

BUT!

LKS has apologised. Why? Because the people spoke and he listened. He LISTENED. Although damage has been done, but he relented afterwards. This is more than I can say for TALKCOCK CEO of Malaysia.

BUT THEN...

LKS's actions have started a chain of reactions that I fear may be more damaging than we know. The Malay sentiment is a fragile thing. We ALL want a better, equal opportunity Malaysia, but Barisan Rakyat has to realise the fears of the Malays. It was a big thing to come out and vote for DAP if you are a Malay. DON'T TAKE THAT FOR GRANTED.

CHOOSE YOUR WORDS CAREFULLY. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK.

Barisan Rakyat has succeeded the first challenge - to whip BN during the GE12- but will they pass the next series of tests? - proving themselves as team players, proving themselves as credible leaders who are able to work with different types of people - Time and again it's been said in other blogs, "take baby steps."

Haven't you guys gone to a Change Management Training Program? I strongly suggest this. You will learn, step by step, how to implement the changes you intend to make with the smallest amount of friction (Unlike the LKS stunt)

I WANT TO REMIND THE BARISAN RAKYAT:
THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO SHOULD BE 'BESAR KEPALA' IS THE PEOPLE (AND I'M TALKING ABOUT THE GRASSROOTS).
NOT YOU WHO CAN BE REPLACED WITHIN THE NEXT 5 YEARS.

Let us not let 'success' (I'm using this term loosely) get to our heads. There is still much to do.
DO IT WELL,
DO IT OBJECTIVELY AND
DO IT YOUR WAY AND NOT THE CORRUPT RACIST BN WAY.

I must say, at this point, that we all know that BN has a lot of its own internal squabbling and infighting. But do we read about it on the BUTTLICKING MSM? No. Want to know why? Because they 'settle' it themselves. They don't air their dirty laundry. You want to gain support? Don't resort to cheap publicity, instead, prove yourself.

PROVE YOURSELVES WORTHY.

I should remind you,

It's only been a little over 5 days, before you know it, 5 years is up.
DON'T DO A 'BN'.
CREATE A NEW PRECEDENT.
WORK YOUR PROBLEMS OUT.
NOBODY LIKES TO HEAR THE NEXT DOOR COUPLE SHOUTING AT EACH OTHER.

BY BICKERING, YOU ARE ONLY SUCCEEDING IN SHATTERING THE PEOPLE'S CONFIDENCE IN YOU.

Work it out, Barisan Rakyat. I don't care how you do it. You asked for this a mandate from the people.

WE DID YOU A FAVOR, NOW DO YOUR JOB. I STILL HAVE FAITH IN YOU.
