Can the BN repeat its success in the 2004 elections?
Posted by James Ooi

Pak Lah says Yes!

Read the following, which is part of a news item in The Star by V. P. Sujata:

PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has confidence that Malaysians can help Barisan Nasional win big in the next general election similar to the 2004 historical victory.

He also stated that the disastrous results of the March election was a blessing in disguise, adding that there was a lesson to be learnt from it all.

He suggested that if Malaysians could change their attitude and refuse to be beaten, repeating the historical 2004 general elections results was possible.

“I’m used to making history that leaders before me had not achieved.

“The 2004 general election was the best but the 2008 result was the worst which no leader before me had achieved,” he said.

Together with positive thinking, he said, the implementation of objectives should also be in order to succeed.

“There are always challenges and lessons. Losing does not matter; there is a blessing behind all these.

Now, will that actually happen?

Well, looking at what is happening in this country after the 12th General Election, I doubt so.

It might be possible if BN make amends and reform, but what many people see is arrogance among many BN leaders even after the 8 March political tsunami. Not to forget, the 78 sen increase in price of petrol and the increase in electricity tariff as well as the skyrocketing inflation rate and reduced life quality affecting the people, the BN government is today even more unpopular compared to during the election campaign 4 months ago.
