Former Finance Minister Daim Zainuddin, whom critics say is gaining an undeserving reputation for being a seer in politics, definitely wants to "influence" during slightest to a sure extent how a 13th General Election results should read.
The stakes have been huge for him privately and, among others, his once bosom companion as well as former premier Mahathir Mohamad. The dual group contingency be very disturbed indeed to offer so most hints to Prime Minister Najib Razak on what to do, as good as to try as well as change electorate on how to vote!
It's not for nothing which Daim is known as a shrewd operator. However, he underestimates a electorate if he thinks which they go on to be as gullible as ever.
Not only a Chinese, though a Malays as well wish change
The "influence" theory debunks a claim by his admirers which he likely a 2008 GE results, assumingly in a little-known Chinese paper somewhere. Yet, few can recall this feat by this male of mystery who traces his common origins to a small Buddhist village across a border in Thailand.
Daim's comfort zone assumingly lies in Umno almost conceding what has since been lost, retaining what can be kept, grab a small some-more if possible as well as thereby still come out on top. No new gains concurred for Pakatan Rakyat (PR), a antithesis alliance.
Daim reluctantly acknowledges a obvious Chinese antithesis to Umno but, during a same time, in a centre fails to discuss which a 1.4 million Federal civil service is by as well as large even some-more opposite a statute celebration than in 2! 008.
Read More @ Source That's as tighten to sad meditative as well as vital on hope as a single can possibly get whilst progressing a novella of being a seer of sorts. There have been so most contradictions here which it's unimaginable which anyone would take this male seriously. If only you could all be which propitious to have our baked sweat bread as well as eat it too!
Quiet on MIC
This time, there have been even some-more specific "predictions" from Daim. He almost confirms not surprisingly a status quo in Peninsular Malaysia, casts doubt vaguely on a incident in Sabah as well as Sarawak for a statute Barisan Nasional (BN), as well as wonders rather naively whether a MCA as well as Gerakan will tarry a assault this time if "voting along secular lines takes place". The final indicate refers to a actuality which Umno is meditative out aloud of you do what PKR as well as Pas did in 2008 i.e. competition in all Malay-majority seats in line with a newly-found fascination with a winnable possibilities strategy.
It's engaging which Daim doesn't discuss a MIC during all. The celebration will probably be handed, if during all, only a miserable series of seats it won a final time. The radical meditative in Umno is which MIC should stay out of a polls this time as well as prove themselves with parliament positions as well as appointments to supervision bodies, GLCs as well as ambassadorial positions.
Penang as well as Kelantan
Daim expects PR to keep Penang as well as Kelantan. In fact, a single doesn't need to be a prophet to have such a statement.
The Chinese in Penang, for example, have been not particularly happy with a Democratic Action Party (Dap) though they understand which a celebration being new to a job needs some-more time to get a act together. One-term administrations, similar to a Obama Administration in a US, can seldom encounter a high expectations churned up among voters. More! over, a people in Penang see no options as well as tremble to consider of a alternative in a return to BN rule.
In Kelantan, no a single has yet carnivorous to death despite a state not being under BN order for over dual decades. True, which Kelantan is a 3rd lowest state in Malaysia a lowest being Sabah as well as a 2nd lowest Sarawak though that's a bequest from Umno rule. To add insult to injury, Umno has refused to give a state kingship from a oil as well as gas reserves, as well as now it's a case of as well small as well late. Yet, Umno continues to guarantee a object as well as a moon as well as all a stars in in in between to a electorate there.
Sabah as well as Sarawak
In Sabah as well as Sarawak, a BN will never be able to repeat a opening of 2008 when a dual states unknowingly saved a statute party's reason on Putrajaya.
Local seers, not as obvious as Daim, consider which only 19 parliamentary seats in Sabah as well as Sarawak will determine who will seize a reins of energy in Putrajaya. Of these 19 seats, it's said which 10 have been already in a bag for PR by Dap.
Selangor as well as Kedah
Daim is dead wrong when he sees a incident as 50 : 50 in Selangor as well as Kedah. These dual states don't need Umno's oft-repeated mantra on a governing body of development, which most regard as an substitution for a governing body of raiding a Public Treasury. Neither do they need a governing body of clientele nor a governing body of corruption. No amount of importance in repeating a mantra onbangsa, agama, negara,the three sacred Umno cows, will save a celebration in a dual states. Its predestine is sealed for a foreseeable future.
To warp a little, it speaks volumes when Selangor similar to beside Thailand can acknowledgement a smallest salary of RM 1,500 per month, though still next a vital salary of RM 2,000 per month. Umno cannot even do what lowly besid! e Thaila nd has done as well as is still toying with a figure in in between RM 700 per month as well as something next RM 1, 000 per month.
Refusing to share a cake, as well as Perak
Instead, it's frantically throwing cold water on a Opposition's smallest salary understanding by a discredited governing body of distraction as well as disruption. By refusing to validate a idea which a baked sweat bread contingency be shared, Umno wants a working population to be beholden to a dependency set of symptoms for a political benefits though no longer so.
Daim is indulging in sad meditative again when he binds out a remote probability which Umno may opposite all odds keep Perak which it stole from a opposition, in cahoots with a Sultan, military as well as Judiciary, in a defiance of a popular will. The electorate in Perak eagerly await a event to punish Umno during a forthcoming polls as well as this time in no uncertain terms.
If most people recall, to debunk Daim a seer, a antithesis alliance themselves were shell-shocked as well as in disbelief for over a week by a sheer scale of their feat during a 12th GE. This time full feat is some-more than possible, with Selangor as well as Penng a best evidence which they can oversee as well as oversee much improved than a BN has ever done in 55 years.
