Two-party system in Malaysia is a reality now

March 9th, 2008

Still overjoyed and cannot get over the euphoria and “high” over the massive Opposition (now Government) of the Barisan Alternatif in five states. This propaganda piece by Zahid Hamidi which I happen to come across certainly sounds so hollow now.

Quoting from him:

They come up with baseless accusations and allegations to run down leaders hoping that by doing so they will be able to sway the voters to their side. The opposition also takes advantage of petty economic issues, the rise in prices, allocation of projects and local issues at the campaign venues. The opposition pact is established to utilise each other’s strength within the pact. However, the partnership is temporary in nature.

“Petty economic issues”, he says. Most unfortunately for him, it certainly does seem to work well in denying BN a two-thirds majority in Parliament.
