"Ulang Tayang'

About three days ago, Merdeka Centre predicted the 13th General Election (PRU13) would be held latest by June this year - yup! it's 2012 already - ....

I also want to do my own predictions on what will/may happen nearing the PRU13:

1. The opposition parties especially PAS & PKR would face a tremendous reduction of their membership. Reason: almost every day there would be news of their members "deserting" the parties in droves "joining" UMNO... Come to think of it, if you care to do simple arithmetic, PAS & PKR would have a negative membership if the news were to be believed judging by the numbers of "deserters" given!!!. I wonder whether there were "recycle" of deserters year in year out!!!!;

2. There would be lots and lots of "upacara/majlis pecah tanah" for community projects such as 'Balai Raya/Dewan Orang Ramai" .... Since this is going to be our 13th General Elections - not taking into account the numerous by elections held - our prominent politicians could be considered as an expert operator of the back hoe!!!;

3. For continuity purpose from No. 2, there would also be lots of "upacara/majlis meletak batu asas" for schools, Taska, Tadika and so o by our YBs. If they were to apply to become "Kontraktor Kelas F" "senang-senang dapat" approval from the MOF;

4. Not to mention the "upacara/majlis perasmian" surau, mosque, bridge and so on ... I think some of the surau or balai raya had been officially opened more than once!!! Do you keep a record?;

[Note: No: 2, 3 & 4 duE to its "continuity in nature" would ensure a "modal politik" for the next 4/5 General Elections!!!!]

5. The major examination result (SPM) would be out sometime in April/May this year, so our "dignitaries" would be busy attending "Majlis Anugerah Pelajar Cemerlang". The "Majlis" would tun out to be a "Ceramah Poltik"....

6. Some Estates with "jalan tanah merah" would be tarred ....:

7. So many people/parties would become an "overnight expert" on our local politics despite their hollow analysis ... Question is where were these people all this while?;

8. "Majlis Bersama Rakyat" would be held at the "seluruh ceruk rantau" of our beloved country with the giving out of aids to the less fortunate etc;

9. There would be lots of "cerita hantu" ......if you understand what I mean!!!!

The above are only partial of my predictions as it goes on and on ....

The ideal practice of democracy is that when Parliament is dissolve pending a General Election, the incumbent Government becomes a caretaker government.... Meaning - again ideally - there should not be abuse of Government's assets/machinery to gain an upper hand against the opposing parties. All political parties should compete on "even & fair ground"...

When asked about this, the answer would be a standard ... "Memang sudah ada peruntukan belanjawan bagi pembangunan kawasan ini untuk kesejahteraan rakyat...."

I have been hearing this statement since I was in my primary school - what about you? Please be free to share your experience ....

Till we meet again ....
