A NEW GOVERNMENT IN SEPTEMBER?FOR BETTER OR WORSE?

Recently a very hot topic in Malaysia politic is that some MP from BN may crossover to PR especially those from East Malaysia,particularly MP from Sabah. Last few months,Sabah MP from difference party voiced out their unhappiness over the treatments from the federal goverment towards Sabah. They complained about not enough minister post given to them considering the contribution on the parliament seats from Sabah.They also complained that those 3 ministerial post currently given to them are not important post. Other issues that are raised up by them are illegal immigrants,oil royalty and labuan island issue.

After the 308 general election,many believe that it could be the beginning of the much awaited formation of a two-party system in our beloved country.But the recent development in the country have definitely put a doubt on whether we are really ready to change toward the betterment of the country.

Firstly, when the Bar Council organised a forum to discuss issues pertaining to islam conversion,a group of people rudely challenged the reason for such discussion. According to them,this kind of issues are sensitive and it will hurt the feeling of muslim.As far as Bar Council are concerned,the forum is trying to know more about islam and hoping to find a better way to solve the problems that are arising from someone who converted to islam and affecting their family member's life.That group of people protested and shouted outside Bar Council at first but later on went inside the forum room (even accompanied by policemen) and shouted at the speakers. The situation were quite intimidating then.

Secondly,when MB of Selangor Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim suggested that UITM open merely 10% for non bumiputra,those UMNO leaders protested and labelled him as betrayer.UITM students demonstrated all over the country saying the University only meant for bumiputra.

In last few days' Permatang Pauh by election,one of the UMNO leaders,Bukit Bendera UMNO ch ief Ahmad Ismail said the Chinese are only 'orang tumpangan' di Malaysia.That kind of statement shows that UMNO have not learned from the 308 'political tsunami'.They are still very racist and not sensitive at all towards other races' feeling.

By election results showed that Malay, Chinese and Indian voted NO to racist party.
Now DSAI is the Opposition Leader in Parliament, so will the much talk about 916 become reality?All I know is that if UMNO still implementing all those race-based policy,they have to pay for it. If not 916 it will not be long too.

do you think a new government will guarantee a better future?
for the better or worse? what do you think? maybe only God knows.....
