The possibility of a hung parliament.

My friend, prof. Chuah chung Cheng from Penang , has predicticted that there might be a hung parliament in the next general election. He further pointed out that PR`s states such as Kedah and Selangor are at risk of losing to BN.

Prof Chuah might be correct. BN would use all sorts of tactics to get back the lost states. Another reason is due to infightings in the PR parties. The other factor is that there are many potential frogs in PR. Complacency in PR may cause PR to lose some seats which were narrowly won in the last election.

The senario of a hung parliament is bad for the nation and the people. Let`s pray that the righteous parties and the candidates will win in the election and that the hung parliament would not occur in the next election.

PAS has toned down on the Islamic State

Hassan Ali, the Selangor state exco is contemplating to leave PAS very soon. This gentleman has strongly advocated for Islamic laws . He and Nasarrudin strongly urged PAS to have a unity talk with UMNO.These two gentlemen seem to lose influence in PAS.Good news.
Over the past few weeks, PAS has openly said that it wants to implement Hukum Hudud or Islamic laws if PR forms the next government. But with strong oppositions from DAP and the public, PAS has toned down considerably. It is a good sign. PAS must know that the voters, particularly the Chinese, would not support PAS if it insists to implement Hukum Hudud.

Instead of harping on the Islamic state issues, what PAS should focus should be on issues of corruptions, abuse of power, judiciary independence and equality for all races. If PAS leaders want to be national leaders, they should show maturity, and not be narrow minded.

Political debates.

Taiwan is a matured democratic country. The presidential candidates for 2012 had just finished their grand debates. The candidates put forward their ideals and ideas and the people decide who they want to vote.

We Malaysians are looking forward for a grand political debate among the heads of all the political parties, namely, UMNO, MCA. DAP, SUPP, MIC and Gerakan. These leaders must tell the Malaysians their party ideology, their struggles and what they can do for the rakyat and the nation. From there people make a choice which party or parties they should vote.

If for any reason the leaders are incompetent or have no substance nor material and they do badly in the debates, then they and their parties concerned should not be given any support. Afterall, in democratic countries, only capable political leaders and the right parties which champion for the interests of the people should be voted in.
