Wow, what an exciting week it has been and I think it will continue to be exciting in the weeks to come. Be it in opposition states (i.e. Perak and Selangor) or BN states (i.e. Perlis and Terengganu), the fight for power is in play. Now, I must wonder if all these things are a good thing? At least at first glance; politics be it opposition or the alliance are the same!

As for me, an “anak Selangor”, I am officially in an Opposition state. But, I have to agree that it certainly looks that the Opposition is a weak coalition – a marriage of convenience. They targeted to deny 2/3 majority and got more that they bargained for, and now realised that they had to govern together! For the sake of the people please get your act together. Oh! Don’t forget your promises to the Selangor people. I need to search the election promises that they made to the Selangorians if the Opposition wins.

And now, the letter by YB Mukhriz Mahathir calling for the PM to take responsibility will definitely stir emotional sentiments. The coming days will show how certain quarters will defend AAB. But, I wonder if the silent majority agree with MM. Losses at GE, State rulers against PM’s named MB, internal UMNO bickering – it does highlight a weak leadership at the top. UMNO leaders showing support is an empty one I think – most probably trying to just brown nose and “jaga periuk nasi sendiri”.

Dear PM, naming your Cabinet is crucial on how serious you are in tackling not only the peoples issues, but also among the many first steps to actually gain back the people’s trust in BN. Don’t make the mistake of choosing weak and non-performing ministers. Take this election message to clean-up the party, BN and the Government. I’m afraid if you don’t, then BN and UMNO may be irrelevant in years to come.
