Election is coming to town

Who will shout: “Santa is not wearing any cloth”
It looks like the PM will be calling a snap election anytime soon, perhaps in the next few weeks. This time, he will be wearing a new cloth. Everyone have to praise him in this wonderfully beautiful new cloth.
Hurray, hurray, hurray, the PM is wearing a new cloth!
Yet none of us see anything. Out of politeness, most people follow the chorus of praise. Others stay silent in embarrassment. The PM continues to walk in his new cloth…
The spin doctors instruct the chief editors to tell the masses that the PM is dressing up as Santa Claus (handing out lots of gifts).
When ruling politicians are behaving nicely and acting like Santa Claus, we know general election is very near. The ruling parties will be promising the sky and the moon again. However for the last 11 general elections the people always had difficulties to cash in the cheques issued by the BN.
Let’s us all sing along:
You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I’m telling you why
Santa Claus (Election) is coming to town
He’s making a list
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out Who’s naughty and nice
Santa Claus (Election) is coming to town
He sees you when you’re sleeping
He knows when you’re awake
He knows if you’ve been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!
O! You better watch out!
You better not cry
Better not pout
I’m telling you why
Santa Claus (Election) is coming to town
Santa Claus (Election) is coming to town
Two or three weeks ago, the Minister of Kris announced distributing a lot of goodies. The DPM also promised to resolve the concerns of Indian community. We would not be surprised if more goodies to be announced and distributed.
I hope the voters are not easily fooled. Just look back at Suqiu(诉求), we can gauge the values of BN’s promises.
Kepada Saudara Tian Chua,
Selamat tahun baru Cina, Saya seorg rakyat Malaysia yg ingin melihat Malaysia diperintah oleh BA (Saya juga bukan ahli sebarang parti politik tapi boleh mengundilah), saya merayu pihak BA (DAP,PKR,PAS) menggunakan satu lambang dlm pilihanraya, saya sering membaca harakahdaily, sekurang2 ada 3 surat pembaca mencadangkan BA gunakan satu lambang, ini salah satu bentuk surat tersebut
Cadangan lambang termudah dlm masa yg suntuk ini ialah BERSIH, saya harap saudara ambil serius cadangan ini
Guna satu lambang BA dalam kempen, kertas undi

Sudah tiba masanya pembangkang mewujudkan satu simbol dan nama dalam kempen pilihan raya umum kali ini.
Gunakan satu bendera, satu jenama dan satu kertas undi. Sun Tze, seorang ahli falsafah China pernah berkata, “Know the enemy, you have won half the enemy you have won half the battle.”
Siapakah musuh politik BA? Politik BA. Sudah tahu siapa musuh itu, maka kenalilah mereka.
Apa yang mereka buat? Apakah modus operandi mereka? Apakah yang telah mereka pamerkan? Gunakanlah taktik musuh ini untuk menawan musuh.
Apa lagi…Segera gunakan satu logo, satu bendera dan satu lambang kertas undi.
Secara psikologi, rakyat nampak pasti gah dan terpikat dengan kegagahan parti alternatif. Nampak besar, nampak kuat kesannya, amat mendalam dan berpengaruh dari segi matematiknya. Sudah nampak besar, lawan besar barulah ada tandingannya.
Kalau kita masih menggunakan nama parti masing-masing, sampai bila-bila pun kita tidak akan menang. Ini kerana, rakyat suka tengok benda yang kuat. Kalau tidak kuat dan tidak gagah, semua orang tidak mahu bergantung.
Ubah. ke arah yang lebih relevan dengan zaman sekarang. Ubahlah dari parti negeri kepada parti global. — aba.

Saya setuju sepenuhnya dengan gagasan saudara. Sebenarnya sudah lama parti-parti alternatif bincang perkara ini. Ia perlukan keberanian dan kebijaksanaan yg cukup matang utk lakukan. Selain daripada pembahasaan antara parti, penyokong seperti saudara harus sentiasa beri tekanan kepada peminpin-peminpin semua parti agar ini boleh direalisasikan.
Terima kasih.
Tian Chua
Tons of goodiess has been given away by BN within this month and I can really sense the general election is down the corner! Should government of BN to be blamed for not doing their jobs for the past few years?
We reserved the right to enjoy all of the goodies that had been given away, anyway, my vote will still belongs to BA no matter what and how BN government is going to be a temporary Santa Clause!
