Why there won't be a "tsunami" this time around

You can feel it in the air. Back in 2008, there was the creeping national annoy destined at an administration department which was sleeping upon the job. It was the absolute catalyst, more so because the annoy was felt as well as shared by domestic rivals and, more potently, by those who were not aligned to possibly the Opposition or the Government.

Today, the fortnight away from the 13th General Election, 5 years after the historic Mar 3 2008 outcome, which feeling is not there anymore.

Today, Dr Mahathir is operative tough FOR the BN government. And the BN supervision hasn't been demonizing him similar to it did prior to PRU12. In fact, even prior to! Najib a nnounced the PRU dates, the former PM was already banishment scuds into enemy territories, earning himself the legal suit hazard from Lim Kit Siang, several police reports, as well as the whole brand new outrageous following.
