UMNO-PAS merger just to gain the 2/3 majority in Parliament, why it won't make things better...

Recent hot topic has been the possibility of an UMNO-PAS merger. The reason for this proposed merger or cooperation is cause both once rival parties have finally realise that they have become weak and not the propaganda that they are promoting of the need for Malay unity.



PAS has won more seats in Parliament yhan ever before and has even won administration over the state of Kedah but it is the weakest party in the opposition coalition or the Pakatan Rakyat. This cannot be what PAS was expecting when it decided to tone down its Islamic State ambition in order to join up with DAP and PKR. I am sure PAS has always wanted to succeed UMNO in being the dominant and ruling Malay party in Malaysia but it has gone all pear shaped for them despite a good showing in the recent 2008 general election, it is not even a dominant party in the opposition coalition...Hahaha!!!


As for UMNO, DSAAB must not have been amused with their failure of not getting the 2/3 majority in Parliament therefore is unable to revise amendments to the constitution or worst, to introduce his own amendments. As the 2008 general election has shown DSAAB that he is weak, to make matters worst his coalition partners do not show much respect for him. Then getting a telling to by our DYMM on the Menteri Besar appointment issue didn't do his leadership ratings much good either.

I light of this, the proposed cooperation between UMNO-PAS might just be a way for DSAAB to gain his 2/3 majority and for PAS to be amongst the big boys. What's the scary part of this all is DSAAB might offer a second Deputy Prime Minister post to PAS president, Abdul Hadi Awang and some ministership to other PAS leaders just to 'angkat bola' and smoothen the merger transition. Some sweeteners are definately needed, hmmm.....

But even so, I am sure DSAAB will face strong oppositions from coalition partners like MCA, Gerakan and MIC. Neither would Sabah and Sarawak coalition partners take a liking at such a cooperation happening. This will lead to an even more shaky UMNO as its members will not relish the thought thatsome high ranking ministerial post will be given to their erstwhile rivals.

Such a coalition will give DSAAB his much desired 2/3 majority and provide a doorway for PAS to be in the government but it is not likely going to please the electorate. Main concern of the Rakyat in a whole is with the weak leadership of DSAAB. With the participation of PAS in BN with DSAAB leading it will not make him stronger and smarter leader. He will still be the same old lame duck Badawimp but now with the power of the 2/3 majority. Now that is damn frightening thought!!!

The said coperation won't do much good or PAS either accept the fact that they achieve their life long ambition of being one of the ruling party in the government. In the end their fate will be the same as way back then when they cooperated with the old UMNO, they have no say, no power and are discarded into the corner. They will suffer more limitations to their Islamic State preaching and this will not go down easy with its leaders and members alike. In the end I foresee the leaders and members of PAS will jump ship or form a new party and this will weaken the already weak PAS, hence weaken BN, UMNO, DSAAB and the government as well. The net gainer of this all will be none other than DSAI and PKR.

"I believe Malay unity is not a matter of Malay political parties embracing each other. Malay unity should be entrusted to politically uncommited Malays. Neither UMNO nor PAS have the credibility for this task. PAS has already laid down conditions. If UMNO accepts these conditions it will lose its non-Malay partners. On the other hand if PAS gives up its stated views on hudud and qisas etc it will lose the support of its followers" -Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad

A compromise will definately be worked out between them but it may have already raised doubts and supporters of both parties would have already lose faith in their leaders. These are the dilemma faced by the cooperation or merger of UMNO-PAS.

Doesn't DSAAB understand that to strengthen back UMNO and BN, and to restore confidence of the Rakyat back to the government is just darn simple...RESIGN!!! And please please don't name DSNTR to take over. That C4 planting, anal loving, mistress murderer is just as useless and lame.

Guess the Rakyat's dream of a leader who is not influenced by his or his families' greed and the wilingness to sacrifice for the mutual good of the nation will most probably just remain what it is...a dream. In my opinion I would say that since we most probably can't realise that dream so the next best thing would be Rais Yatim or even Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah. Both would be even better, one as the PM and one as DPM.

The system we have in Malaysia has worked for past nation leaders for more than 50 years already. That shows that it is not the failure of the system but it is the failure of the present leadership to make the system work.

Solution : DSAAB must GO...!!!
