In striving to make Malaysia a better nation we must be
careful with the road taken.
We must not sacrifice the journey for the goal, the means
for the end. We need to change Malaysia in the right way towards the right goal.
It may take a longer time and we may not be able to see the fruits of our
labour but our future generations will profit from it. It is slow, but sure.
Good and lasting change needs time to be cultured, we cannot be in a hurry.
That is why on many occasions I have registered my
disagreement with the ABU’s unthinking, irresponsible and destructive approach
in choosing our MPs and ADUNs in the effort to advance Malaysian politics. The
method in effect follows the framework that promotes the kind of decision
making that uses blanket, all-or-nothing, blind support or rejection. Such a
campaign breeds a longer term danger. It spurs more unthinking divisive
positions and a precursor to civil hostility.
Today this divisive scheme has given birth to another
blanket stupidity, ABCD; Asalkan Bukan
Cina DAP. I have seen this acronym popping in my FB threads and posts that
belong to PAS supporters. This trend perhaps was triggered after CM Lim Guan
Eng politicised the ‘Allah’ issue via his Christmas message.
What if that ‘Cina
DAP’ is better than the other candidates no matter what their background or
ethnicity? Similarly, in the case of ABU, what if the UMNO candidate is the
better choice? Aren’t we giving the other candidate a free ride? Will we be
able to secure the best of Malaysians to be our lawmakers with this method?
First ABU, now ABCD, and then what? Is this the way we
want to go?

Hi Anas,
I guess a lot of Malaysians prefer to go with "Either you are with me, or Against me". There is no middle ground.
I have to agree with you on this but I also have my doubts. Since Malaysia is professing Partisan Politics, one person could not make a difference. I did vote according to the person credibility but to my surprise, he was kicked out from his party due to different views. For now, my personal opinion is to go by party since I did not see the difference a person can make in our political scene. :)
How Come SmartAss like yourself cannot see the Alphabet Soup Concocted by Najib?
Or is it because you are blind when it comes to what he does?
