Selamat Pagi Malaysia. There is a constant struggle within us all in the things we do, the choices we make, and the path we choose as we live life the best way we can, in the circumstance that we find ourselves in. In these last few weeks, increasingly, I have had these questions asked of me. What are my thoughts on PH, UMNO, DSAI, TSMY, Tun Mahathir, Najib Razak, DSZH....my views on race and religion...and more to the point, where do I stand within the political conundrum that is now Malaysia?
If truth is to be told, I do not, myself, know. I am of Bugis ethnicity, a Malay by birth, Malaysian in everything that I have become, and I live in Melbourne. And has lived abroad for more years than I have lived in my beloved Tanah Air. And I know that everything in the previous sentence is a contradiction because, does it not stand to reason that if I were all that, then why have I decided to live abroad?
Even an attempt to answer that question will exhaust me and seriously test your patience to read what I write, for, like everyone else, my story is personal to me. Suffice to say that I do as I please to try and please those that I love and myself....and not necessarily in that order. And so we come to today. To what has been on my mind since yesterday afternoon after a conversation with one of our friends from Johor.
We are agreed that to give BN a run for their money in PRU15, the old PH, minus a few of the Pengkhiants must come together again. We are agreed there has to be, in that mix, YOUTH with a capital Y. And then he put into words what has been in my mind for a while - a thought that I, as a Malay, should not articulate lest I am accused of being a racist bigot. And what did our friend say?
He said..."The opposition lacks an anchor Malay party to lead us into PRU15!"...and he continued..."unless there is a dominant anchor Malay political entity to lead PH into PRU15, ....the election will be lost"...or words to that effect.
I have my own thoughts on this "Malay dominated political entity needed to lead PH into PRU15" but I will hush my mouth for now. What do you guys think?
Yes , i personally think thats the right thing to do, for the rural malays are poisoned to the core and difficult for them to vote a multiracial entity.
