The Divisiveness of Politics and The Dream

I am quite disappointed recently with the world of politics especially Pakatan Rakyat politics. It was obvious to me that real change can't be achieved if this trend continues. Just a year ago, on March 8 we bear witness to the rise of hope and the prospect of change seems certain. It is not a question of whether or not it will happen, but when.

But now reality knocked me and I realise that the faithful day may just be a random event in the Malaysian political history. As we can see the major players of the political tsunami that changed the political landscape in Malaysian politics, the coalition of PKR,PAS and DAP are not the same before March8. They are united then, to the cause of justice,equality,freedom and people empowerment but now they have fallen to the political trap Central to human nature that is the trap of human lust or in Malay NAFSU.

The lust for power,money and popularity has taken center stage,overtaking along the way the noble beliefs that held the coalitions together and the people they pledge to serve and fight for.

Today I went to one of the opposition blog, in the commentary section the commenter's who are supporters of the DAP and PKR and at each others throat, accusing one another of being a party that practices cronyism, nepotism and so on. The spark occurred due to the war of words between DAP's MP Tony Pua and PKR's MP Wee Choo Keong over the resignation of Penang's Deputy CM Fairus

You see, we have forgotten the fact that Pakatan Rakyat lost the last election although they manage to deny BN the two-thirds majority in parliament and 5 states manage to be captured, which is unprecedented in Malaysia's political history. Well, to wake the Pakatan Rakyat supporters, the reason Perak is lost to the BN is because of Pakatan's own self doing. So with Pakatan's self doing Pakatan and their faithful suppoters might lose it all.

Then, Pakatan is not facing Abdullah weak BN and UMNO. Najib will be a stronger foe for Pakatan. Look at the 1Malaysia concept, it is demolishing Pakatan's message to the voters in 2008 that they champion equality. Last year it was UMNO and BN who is disunited. The Mahathir faction is fighting the Pak Lah faction.

Now, thus far the Najib administration is working well with both factions, and BN and UMNO seem to be working cohesively, the same however can't be said for Pakatan Rakyat, in PAS there are two factions the pro-Anwar faction or Edrogran faction lead by Husam Musa the party's vice president, the blue eye boy of Spiritual leader Nik Aziz and the conservative section led by party president Hadi Awang.

So the supporter's are fighting for each other, the leaders are fighting with each other, even in inter-party the leaders and supporters are fighting with each other, so who are fighting for the people, if it is the BN then Pakatan is doomed.

Just a friendly reminder to keep the dream alive. The dream of ending communal politics and politics which empowers the people will live on but it does not belong to BN or Pakatan Rakyat, it belongs to the voters. So serve them well, keep the dream alive so that one day, the day that will overshadow May13 or March8, the day that will be remember by all Malaysians, the day that will be the hallmark of the history of politics in Malaysia, the day the dream becomes a reality, that day belongs to Pakatan Rakyat. The day will come, the question is when, and who will rise on that faithful day.
