PERMATANG PAUH – READING BETWEEN THE LINES

A forgone conclusion that came through with a bigger majority to DSAI.

It is not such an insulting humiliation for PM to loose to a proven sodomite.

DSAI won not because the people love him but because he was used by the people particularly the Silent majority to send concertedly a clear message to PM (and his family) that they are a rejected lot. Rumours are rife that many BN particularly UMNO members too voted for PKR or did not have the strength and commitment to go for the polls. GE 12 was a protest vote against PM and so was PP. Whatever pep talk PM had with his branch and divisional heads on being “traitors” as one of the supposedly core reasons for the disastrous GE 12 had come to naught.

While PM’s political future (including arrogant members of his family) is all but dead as far I am concern, the PP results is a blessing in disguise for UMNO. This is just one constituency, not a general election but the indicator for the trend in the next elections. Accepting such reality, UMNO should take the final courage to convince PM to resign soonest rather than see the party heading to the doldrums and potential demise.

Malaysian Malaysia and Ketuanan Rakyat will see PP as a golden victory for their multi-racialism but to many others like me, not necessarily so. However the longer PM stays put and continues to endanger the peaceful and development prospects of the country by his lack of governance and poor management decision making, the more rapid the Pakatan Rakyat will capitalise and expand its influence on the people until BN and UMNO will no longer hold any significant influence.

Demographics could have changed certain aspects of the political landscape in this country but I am certain BN and UMNO could still remain most relevant with certain adaptations albeit a new and firm leadership.

So UMNO, the people has spoken again - they want PM out. Expect to be rejected by the people if you do not reject PM at the forth coming UMNO elections cum year end.
