With each passing day, it becomes more obvious if not evident that B.N's rule is coming to an ignominous end. With the advent of the alternative media, many of B.N's indiscretions have surfaced with such resounding regularity that many of its supporters were left awe strucked by their shennigans. Slowly and daily we hear of previous UMNO stalwarts abandoning their flagship party. It began firstly in peninsular Malaysia and gradually extended to Sabah, B.N's acknowledged fixed deposits. Hardly a day passed without a stalwart UMNO leader expressed their intent to leave the tainted UMNO party.
Yet despite B.N's crumbling stature, Najib has been spouting alot of nonsensical statements. First and foremost was his defiant statement that they would only allow Pakatan to claim Putrajaya over their dead bodies.Would this mean that Najib and B.N would not relinquish power even if the ballot box had shown they had lost the election?After 54 years on the mantle of power, this only proves the common adage that continous hold of power for any govt could prove fatal to any democratic government.
After B.N's calamatic failure in the 2008 general Election, one would expect B.N to reform its party and listen to the people's clamour for change, but instead Najib's policy only further alienate the non malays who viewed his often preaching for unity amongst the race as only a hypocritical strategy to garner more votes for the ruling govt. His stance on many controversial issues from Bersih's call for clean election to many expose of the ruling govt's corrupt practice further confirmed the silent majority beliefs that B.N was incapable of any reforms .
Najib's latest comments that only B.N rule was organised, systemmatic and well structured whereas if the opposition was to rule it would be the reversed. This certainly is not true if the opposition states of Kelantan, Penang and Selangor were to be taken as an example.Not only were the opposition in those states doing exceedingly well but their performance surpassed what B.N had been able to do for the last 54 years. And their performance would even had been better if not for the many obstacles put by the Federal govt on their paths to obstruct their governance.
Many now view Najib's frequent pleas for unity reforms as empty pledges made only with the view to win votes. It carries very little relevance or impact when most of his rhetorics proved later to be a falsity.
