Lighting up the fuse

Prior to the day the opposition parties (mainly Gerakan and DAP) had denied the 2/3 majority from the Coalition Party (BN as it was known then), they went celebrating and chantting hateful racial remarks to the Malays; to this which the Malays reacted in rage. Thus began the ugliest Malaysian racial riot in history.

Who actually lit up the fuse wasn't recorded in history but it was the opposition that intiated it. Even thought the opposition claimed it was the Malays is the true culprit. That question is not to be answered in this article. But rather what that triggered it that is the main point of this writting: 'The hateful racial remarks'.

This was the factor that triggered the riot. Which if we were to look at what's happening now. Some party decided to use the same tactics to infuse the next 13th May. They wanted enrage the Malays and to divert them from the main issue of the defeat of the National Front-Incompetant Leadership.

All this racial remarks issue is to unite the Malays to go againts the chinese, mainly from DAP. Amazingly, DAP decided to utter not a single comment on the Bukit Bendera statement. They let the BN component party react towards it, mainly Gerakan and MCA. As if saying 'we just going to let you guys do the UMNO bashing now'. If the opposition was asked for reactions from the media, they will simply say, 'this is all UMNO's trap and we ain't falling for it'.

Rakyat had never seen such disfunction BN before. Thanks to the stubborn Pak Lah, the opposition has gain an extra political milage in the eyes of the Rakyat. Malays had lost their trust in UMNO. They began to look up at DSAI or PAS. They began to wonder if Tun M didn't disposed DSAI, we wouldn't have Pak Lah as PM but DSAI instead.

The simpliest way to regain the Rakyat's trust, UMNO has only had to do one thing, change their president. Even if that's means NTR will taking over. I do agreed with Tun M's analysis, the opposition isn't that strong, is just that the people hated Pak Lah. That's all. If Pak Lah were to step down, immediately, Rakyat will starts flocking back to BN and those who angry will tone down. The PR will looses its steam. The people's dissatifaction will cool down as the Malaysians people will, as usual, 'gives-chan' period to NTR to prove himself as a capable new PM.

That's all.

No racial riot is needed. All that Pak Lah had to do to regain the people's trust is to step down and gave the driver's seat to NTR as soon as possible. Since it is obviously, he is too sleepy to drive.

Unless staying in power is the ultimate gold, then no further words is needed accept: to brace ourselves!
