Rakyat are not fools

Prices are ballooning, a plate of nasi campur cost more now, how to cope with all the rising cost of living. The government attention is diverted by the current political scenario than looking at the well being of the rakyat.

A bi-election for Sanglang seat is coming up, a court decision on Kuala Kangsar's election petition is pending this Friday, a split among BN component confidence, demands for more oil royalties, demand for more representations, demand for more allocations just because they command a state majority and any split would bring the ruling government down.

Pak Lah is definitely in a very tight situation, moreover, the opposition is gaining more support by day, the old tactics are no longer applicable. The rakyat is now more educated and more judgmental. "You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time."-Abraham Lincoln

Pak Lah should be more concern now to tackle the younger and educated generations. Since DH took over as BN/UMNO youth chief, we don't see any improvement in the organisation. Even the excos are not as vocal as during under DSAI's leadership. They are not trained as cader - doing underground work, people like Nasution, Azmin, Ezam were trained to be political leaders and in some instance political guerillas. Instead under Putera, the Youth took Mat Rempit to have fun - parachute somewhere at the pole, spending millions of ringgit and these guys came back and return to their old habits. And recent news item that some Mat Rempit became highway robbers and bank robbers.

Pak Lah is in dire needs of a "SCHEMER", the current advisors should be revamp and hire a fresh team. The youth should get a new set of leaders, fresh with ideas to improve, who are streetwise as well as well educated.
