The opposition's winning formula Category: General Posted by: Raja Petra By Don
The opposition should be able to win one by-election, between now and the 12th general elections. And you know what? They can win it without having tons of money and the support of mass media. Sure, the formula is already there. The Opposition Front needs only to siphon off their egoistic manner among themselves, by disengaging party-centric politics and wipe clean the politickings of power-centric politicians. Those with the winning vision can easily imagine the rise to power of a clean, rakyat-oriented Opposition Front, whose politicians thoroughly put the interests of the people above their own. Such believe is NOT rhetoric, and has absolutely NOTHING to do with Machiavellian politics nor Sun Tzu's. Why, has there not been a shared knowledge of the winning formula? Please brothers and sisters of Opposition, can we not rise above petty politics? We, whose ideals are so noble, that the BN simply cannot keep up because much of what they say often suffer greatly from the lacking of what is in their hearts and wolfie (wolf-like) thoughts. The old method and ways of campaigning will never win sufficient seats needed to unseat the BN. Our strength lies in our togetherness. That "bond" desparately needed to be the exemplary ethical icon in politics AND the only way forward in order to achieve better inter-racial and inter-religious relations between all peoples in Malaysia. We need to be able to do it among ourselves before able to sell it to the rest of the nation. I wish to stop myself from saying that some men have different perspectives and ways of looking at things from women.alas, I couldn't stop myself. Had some women been allowed at the negotiation tables, there will be wonders happening; simply because some women are selfless and put others before themselves. We can be sure that when they (the women) smell rot, they will do their utmost to disengage party-centric politics and wipe clean the politickings of power-centric politicians for the best interest of the Opposition Front. For the love of God, the creator of human kind, can we not rid ourselves off of petty politics and start winning at least 51% of the parliamentary seats - we begin by winning by-elections; Machap is a bit late - how about Ijok (didn't think there was another one to deal with, yeah?) http://malaysia-today.net/blog2006/letters.php?itemid=3819
