Following the single fumble after another in the past 9 months, BN right away has the last possibility to get things right by offering sufficient goodies in the budget.
COMMENT
The Barisan National has been confronting an ascending battle opposite Pakatan Rakyat since the commencement of the year. A closer look during the 9 months (from Jan to September) will uncover how formidable the fight has been for the government, which has been creation lots of mistakes. The actions of the BN leaders, their comments as well as their warding off to attend to the people infer troubled times ahead for the statute coalition.
In January, PKR personality Anwar Ibrahim witnessed the landmark feat in his Sodomy ll box when the decider swiftly discharged it after months of uninterrupted Anwar bashing.
Anwar pronounced he was shocked which the verdict was read in just the minute as well as which the box was thrown out whilst he had prepared his tooth brush as well as toothpaste for the long transport in jail.
"What the waste of open income as well as justice time the entire box was," he pronounced during the convene in Selangor.
And this was to be the commencement of the long list of setbacks which would plague the BN. One wonders how will the statute bloc recover from these debacles. The Sodomy II box was the domestic inapplicable designation which did not have the same effect upon Anwar as the first.
The initial upon the list of blunders is the bashing of the Bersih 3.0 participants which has tarnished the image of the government.
In Apr this year, thousands of Malaysians des! cended u pon the streets to titillate the supervision to carry out changes to the electoral laws as well as the approach elections have been being hold in the country.
The pacific march of the protesters was disrupted by the heavy-handed confidence forces, who used tear gas, batons as well as during times physical force to try disperse the mammoth crowd.
There is no approach this bashing of the people would have finished BN any good.
Ceramahs interrupted
The near physical attacks by the BN opposite Anwar, his daughter Nurul Izzah as well as alternative PKR members is another BN blunder.
Pakatan leaders have also been verbally abused, stones were thrown into Pakatan ceramahs as well as BN rallies (or anti-Anwar rallies) were staged successive to Pakatan gatherings.
And nonetheless the statute bloc cries tainted as well as says the culture of rallies, demonstrations as well as disrespect shown towards the budding minister by the little youth have been "not partial of the Malaysian culture".
But have been ugly "buttock dances", blockading of antithesis convoys by hardcore pro-government elements as well as throwing red paints upon antithesis vehicles partial of the "Malaysian culture"?
Is it probable which the bloc in power is anticipating it formidable to hoop Anwar as well as his well-organised campaigns?
There were also the attacks upon PKR's debate debate bus. It appears which the thought of using the train to debate is creation BN jittery.
The attacks upon the train showed the ugly side of BN supporters, be they Perkasa members or otherwise.
By the acts, BN will positively not come out seeking like the "good guys" in the eyes of the uncertain organisation of voters in the country.
The H2O fiasco
Then there is the H2O quarrel with the Selangor state government. This dispute,! which h as been starting upon for the past couple of months, is doubtful to end any time soon. A organisation of people, who contingency certainly be BN supporters, have even sued the Selangor state supervision over this issue.
This suit, which was publicised in the local press as well as the BN-controlled media, really functions to the value of Pakatan.
If there have been people in the nation who did not know which H2O was giveaway in Selangor, right away they do know, thanks to the much-publicised suit.
The have the difference by Pakatan which it will not reason choosing in Selangor during the same time as the inhabitant choosing if it was hold in Nov also puts BN in the formidable situation.
BN argues which Pakatan will be wasting open income by land the state polls during the opposite date, though it misses the point.
Pakatan is telling the open as well as the statute BN bloc which it can confirm by itself when to reason the Selangor polls as well as which it will do so no have the difference when the 13th ubiquitous choosing is called.
Indications have been which Pakatan would wish the Selangor polls to be hold after Mar successive year, which is, after finishing the five-year mandate.
In the event the ubiquitous choosing is called prior to Mar 2013, the Selangor polls will afterwards turn the focal point in Malaysia. A BN feat in the 13th ubiquitous choosing will probably give Pakatan the possibility to infer the speculation which the choosing was "stolen" from the antithesis as well as which the latter would mount the better possibility of winning in Selangor as well as retain the state.
Besides, if Pakatan were to take over Putrajaya in the inhabitant polls as well as organize the Selangor choosing after it has commissioned itself as the brand new government, chances have been it will win large in Selangor.
The greatest fumble of all
Mor! e proble ms have been piling upon BN. The National Feedlot Corporation scandal, the "whistleblower" case, Pakatan's cheaper cars campaign, the "defiling" of the budding minister's photograph, the raising of the brand new flag by the little Pakatan youths, the enlarge in the cost of RON97 as well as BN's persistence to urge the PTPTN (student loan scheme), have been creation hold up in truth tough for the statute coalition.
BN is really upon the defensive with Pakatan's proposal to scrap the PTPTN.
The NFCorpexposand the successive charges brought opposite PKR plan director as well as "whistleblower"Rafizi Ramli have it silly for any one to inform any suspicion of corrupt practices in the country.
Does this help the means of the BN in the eyes of the public? The open wants heads to roll in the NFCorp failure though by safeguarding the company, the statute bloc has shown where it stands upon this issue.
The greatest fumble BN made is to acknowledgement which antithesis leaders do not have any protection anywhere during their debate tour. This contingency have certainly offended many people.
It is transparent the lives of antithesis leaders as well as their supporters have been during risk in the run-up to the inhabitant polls.
There is, however, still the little hope which BN's bad run might be over with the arriving Budget 2013 to be tabled by Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak.
BN has this last sugar base goodies which it can make use of to woo the people as well as get their support in the arriving polls.
A good, popular as well as certain bill will certainly help the statute bloc end this formidable run it is carrying now.
The bill is the weapon which Pakatan does not have as well as it is transparent the statute bloc will make use of this apparatus in the last-ditched effort to change the change in the favour.
! This wil l happen only if it does not have nonetheless another fumble with the budget.
