Reason why PR got the states is because people are fed-up with BN

Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, the Member of Parliament of Gua Musang who is also a veteran member of Umno said that the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) has not captured the middle ground of the voters or even the hearts and votes of the people but it was because the people have grown to dislike the BN (Barisan Nasional) and hence voted for any other parties available. He was speaking to the Sunday Express, a Sabah newspaper where he said "If people don't like your face, they just don't like your face," He added that “It was extremely difficult for the BN to be liked by the people again, no matter what they do, because of its longevity in public office and a combination of various acts of commission and omission done overtly and covertly. Ominously, the dislike of BN, included young Malays, the most developed states in Malaysia, the least developed, and across all communities. They realised when the Malays were being used as an excuse or tool by the ruling elite, resulting in the benefits not flowing to them or flowing to a small group. That doesn't mean that they want PR in Selangor. It just means that they would vote for anyone standing against the BN."

Denying that he is leaving Umno, he added that “The oil issue as an example of how the country was being managed unwisely and run unfairly, and among the reasons why BN was unpopular with the people. The issue arose when Terengganu wanted an upwards revision in the five percent oil royalty. The federal government quickly abolished Terengganu's oil royalty, claiming that it was not entitled to such payments, and replaced it with wang ehsan (goodwill payments). Wang ehsan is just a deliberate attempt by the Federal Government to prevent the oil states from asking for an upwards review of the oil royalty. Such a thing should never happen because that is not what is in the law. I can speak with authority on this subject because I drafted the oil law myself. I am just explaining when people ask me. The issue is bigger than oil because our reserves may not last very long since Petronas has denied reports of the 'find of the century.”

People are beginning to feel the discrimination in this country with the current government running this country and it has made history how the opposition won 5 states.

More to come in the next GE, we will see a different light.

.If people don't like BN it means something wrong with their administration of sheer corruption and nothing else.This BN goons will never learned and never deny of their bloody weakness.They think whatever they do is right .All bumkum and Bullshit ! !


As long as UMNO is ruling, BN will never change. UMNO has become greedy, avaracious, lie, lie, lie and further Mahathir has become the Government's adviser. When Mahathir said that Badawi was a weak leader, giving the thumps up to Najis, what he meant is, the government must continue with Mahathirism, which is rob the coffers, destroy the judiciary, silence the critics using government machinery, cover-up all major scandals, cook up conspiracy against opposition members. Everyone heard loud and clear who destroyed the judiciary in the CORRECT, CORRECT, CORRECT ROYAL COMMISSION. Not one person has been taken to task including C,C,C. I pity Najis. He think by following Mahathir, he will prevail.

When the rakyat does not like your face, you are gone on polling day. The rakyat respects the statement made by Tengku Razaleigh who is a straight talking UMNO veteran. The rakyat welcomes all his constructive criticism of his fellowmen in UMNO. Tengku Razaleigh is the only UMNO veteran that no disciplinary actions are taken against him by the UMNO Disciplinary Board of UMNO. Great men tell no lies.
