At the end of the day, can the BN government come out of this constant political manoeuvre of late by the opposition and smell like roses.
Since the 8th of March, 12GE, the opposition had been taking potshot at the government with accusations and the likelihood that the opposition will had enough crossover to form the government.
Five states had already been claimed by the opposition since the March results and it takes little imagination that there is such possibility.
The government since then had been playing big suckers to entertain most lawmakers and states by giving increased allocations and more projects.
Any negligence in the past, had been promised with renewed seriousness, and in Sabah, the illegal migrant problem.
If things were not right in the beginning and there is no policy change from the authorities, there is little to convince the Sabahans that the illegal migrant problems will be ‘investigated’ thoroughly. Pardon me, I do not recall any investigation and the present exercise in flushing out all illegal migrants will prove futile and could just be a waste of time and money.
Back to the game, opposition versus government.
It seems the government is not good at this and falls in the opposition’s trap every so often.
Mostly out of their own ignorance and arrogance, still hoping that the main-stream-media will report favourably and ignore whatever mistakes/contradictions there are in their reports.
There is a limit in which the media can do, if the government do not stop exposing contradictory statements and provide stupid answers or out of spike, give sweeping statements which either means nothing or just plain stupid. They will not know what hit them when the cards crumble.
The quality of people running the government plays an important role, take for instance, the Anwar sodomy charge, there is nothing to show presently that Saiful, the accuser, is telling the truth. Statements from the government only pointed to the rule of law and quite unbalance, if the pursuit seems to be one sided, as it is been done now. How on earth can you ask the Malaysians to believe, if such people also have the internet access for alternative news.

The by-election in P44, Permatang Pauh would be interesting, perhaps it is a blessing in disguise for the government, if they can wake up from the state of self-denial. Should Anwar able to win convincingly by historical margin, it goes to show ‘proper news’ can reach its readers despite government attempt to subdue them. Should the reverse happens, the MSM is still effective in forming the perception. Which then, is sad for Malaysia.
