To all BN supporters:
Yes, you are still recovering from the shock elections result and understand that everything has changed. You are asking how this could have happened and would have started assigning blame.
But cheer up. All is not lost. BN still has 79 seats and is still the state govts for Sarawak, Perak, Perlis and Pahang. Kedah is still a possibility.
PAS has 18 seats. They are equally against PH - perhaps more so due to their deep-seated hatred of Tun M, DAP and Amanah.
PH by itself only got 113 seats. If you add Warisan's 8 seats, it is just 121 seats. Their popular votes was 45% - lower than the 48% that BN and PAS got.
At just 121 seats, this PH govt is a weak govt and is lower than the 133 seats that BN got in PRU13. Therefore, it is a fragile govt and could fall anytime if their Sabah and Sarawak MPs defect.
I think we cannot dispute that PH won due to Tun M keeping the coalition together and reassuring the Malays that it is safe to vote the DAP controlled PH.
But the reality is that he is 93 years old and his ability to endure the strains of PM is still questionable.
Regardless, his health and age will eventually force him to withdraw from the scene.
Time is on our side here.
In order to win, Tun M may have said a lot of things that he was a U-Turn of what he stood for in the past but this was just to let people hear what they wanted to hear in order to get their votes.
Mahathir has his flaws and his basic character is unlikely to have changed. Very soon, he will revert to his kuku besi mentality and the public will see his true zalim face. The cruelness side of him that turned so many Malaysians against him in the face place. In no time, Malaysians be disgusted and will turn against him and Pakatan.
The public expects Pakatan to keep its many "bulan dan bintang" promises but we all know these are populist, unrealistic and will cause great financial damage to Malaysia.
Taking the rest of their manifesto such as abolishing tolls aside, many of their 10 items in 100 days promise will be hard and costly to implement.
Removing GST and changing to SST will cost RM24b. Eliminating FELDA debts - RM5.1b . EPF for housewives - RM1.8b. Kad Peduli Sihat - RM1.75b. Just these are already RM32b - as much as the entire Federal budget deficit for 2017.
And we have not even talked about petrol prices yet. Without realizing that their incomes have increased drastically under BN from 2009 to 2017, many people said they rindu zaman Tun where prices were low.
When Tun was in power, global oil prices, food prices and commodity prices were still very low. In 2004, all these prices jumped as the emergence of China drove up demand. China is still going strong and with India's middle class booming, it is a matter of time before commodity prices continue their upswing.
Their 100 days promise to increase minimum wage in Sarawak and Sabah by 8.5% will also cause inflation. Global oil prices as we speak is now US$77 per barrel and may rise to US$100 soon.
Instead of petrol prices reducing, PH could soon realize they will have to increase RON95 prices to RM2.50 per liter.
Soon, the people will realize the harsh realities that prices will continue to increase even after GST was removed and Tun M is back in power
They will start branding PH as "Price Hikes."
This is the economic reality and external forces that BN was trying to educate the public to understand but failed as the public was consumed by the lies of PH and blamed BN.
Criticizing and blaming the govt is always easier than running the govt. The day will come when PH will be blamed for cost of living increases too.
As we are no longer in Federal Govt, BN is likely to undergo dramatic changes as old leaders, members and even component parties exit.
Young, energetic and smart leaders will be given the opportunity to rise up their ranks to take their place. These people will be motivated, hungry for success brave and vocal - traits that BN lacked before.
Above all, any democratic country and two party system needs a strong opposition that will provide the checks and balances against them.
Our country needs this. Our country needs us.
Let's reorganize, keep the faith. keep up the fight. plan and execute our plan. PH will make mistakes. PH is destined to fail one day.
Fitnah cannot win as truth is on our side.
Tatap BN.
