IT'S INEVITABLE, BN will fall

IT'S INEVITABLE, BN will fall
They say all good things must come to an end. I wonder why not enough emphasis is given to the other end of the spectrum where all bad things, too, come to an end.
Throughout history, we have seen how evil regimes, however mighty and strong they may be for a period of time, eventually come crumbling down. And, interestingly enough, it is almost always the case where the crumble is due to internal squabbles within that particular regime, incompetence, irrational behaviour and of course greed.
As night follows day, governments of the day will eventually change. It is only natural. The reason for this is very clear. It is simply because the people, over time, come to realise that a particular government, and its manner of administration, is no more suitable with the current times.
Sometimes, a particular government of the day refuses to let go of power, and will do all that is necessary (and unnecessary) to be in power and remain relevant. This may lead to irrational approach to things thus making it difficult for a smooth transition of power to take place.
It is in these circumstances where we shall see a "fall" of a particular government.
Fall is an effect of a "push". When we do not want something and yet it is shoved to our faces, the only natural reaction would be to push that thing away resulting in its fall.
Similarly, a government of the day, which is irrational and greedy, would eventually face the same fate. However much they try to stay in power, if they continue to administer a state under policies which are contrary to the wishes of the people, they will be pushed away by the people when the people have had enough.
In Malaysia, are we going to see a smooth transition of a government or a fall of a government? In other words, will Barisan Nasional hand over its power when the time comes in a peaceful and gentleman-like manner, or will Barisan Nasional create a fuss like a six-year-old refusing to give back the neighbour’s bicycle which was borrowed for the evening?
It is clear that in the next couple of years, we are almost definitely going to see a change in government at the federal level. People have come to realise that the current policies practiced by Barisan Nasional is no longer relevant, and dare I say, beneficial to the country as a whole.
Over the years, we have seen how the empty promises of Barisan Nasional has led to the decay in all aspects of life for the ordinary folks. On the same breath, we have seen how a handful of “superstars” have gotten obscenely rich, as a result of Barisan Nasional’s policies. The concept of distribution of wealth in Malaysia is non-existent.
People have now come to realise that as a result of Barisan Nasional’s policies, certain people are getting richer, while the ordinary folks are not seeing any improvement in their quality of life.
The NEP which was introduced in 1971 was for the eradication of poverty and yet, some forty years down the road, we still see Malays being the poorest of the lot. This despite Barisan Nasional’s yearly promises of advancing Bumiputera? Something is clearly amiss here. Why is Barsian Nasional continuously keeping the Malays downtrodden?
It is against this backdrop that we see today a significant change in people’s attitudes towards Barisan Nasional’s policies. These realisation and frustration of the people had resulted in the fall of Barisan Nasional in certain states, something which has never before been seen in the history of Malaysia.
It is also against this backdrop that we see the people’s acceptance of a multi-racial and peaceful approach to things, as opposed to the "divide and conquer" approach of Barisan Nasional.
Having seen this uprising of the people, Barisan Nasional has now resorted to irrational tactics in their attempt to remain relevant and in power. And, what a more better way to do that than to remove all the catalysts behind the uprising at whatever cost.
However, there is a cost to be paid. As a result of Barisan Nasional’s actions to destroy any form of opposition (either from within themselves [I can think of only one] or outside through other political parties), the rule of law and the perception of the judiciary became victims in the crossfire.
Any country without the rule of law cannot possibly thrive in any way. Any country in which the judiciary is perceived to be biased cannot possibly have any confidence of investors and of the people in general. A country without the rule of law and an impartial and un-biased judiciary can never, under any circumstances, be considered a developed nation. Barisan Nasional, over the years, have somehow successfully managed to do just that.
Barisan Nasional’s specific and actual allocation of funds (people’s money mind you) are somewhat subject to secrecy and cannot be revealed to Malaysians as a whole. As a result, when the ordinary folks do not see any form of help despite Barisan Nasional’s announcement in a budget, we, the ordinary folks tend to think that those funds must have stopped somewhere down the line. In such circumstances, how is an ordinary Malaysian not to have the perception that Barisan Nasional government is not corrupt?
Notwithstanding the fact that Malaysia is an oil producing nation, its citizens now have to show their identity cards (at petrol kiosks manned by foreign workers) and be divided into classes of persons to purchase fuel at different rates. How Barisan Nasional can justify this act is beyond me.
Having not succeeded in trying to play the race card, it seems now that Barisan Nasional has now resorted to religious extremism. Perhaps this is Barisan Nasional’s final act in its attempt to stay in power. However, Malaysians have come to realise that Barisan Nasional’s views no longer represent the views of the moderate Muslims. And so, Barisan Nasional has successfully managed to isolate itself.
Strangely enough, as stated earlier, the inevitable fall of Barisan Nasional inthe upcoming years will ultimately be due to its own internal squabbles, incompetence, irrational behaviour and greed. -TMI
