Rebuild Pakatan, not go headless chicken | Malay Mail

MAY 28 — The 15th General Election must happen before 2024. However, Pakatan Harapan expects to capsize Perikatan Nasional’s dysfunctional love-boat long before that, if possible, come July.

Pakatan should aim to fix inside, restore harmony and then promise outside to the Malaysian public. In that order.The parties must restructure internally first, and then negotiate objective and transparent terms the five parties accept. Because they’ve bled and look desperate presently. It opposes integration to retain votes. Just as Umno can’t doublespeak without social media exposing it, enough non-Chinese today canDAP leaders — or thank their Chinese school education. No more secrets, Lim Kit Siang. Time of burning both ends of the candle hoping no one notices is over.Warisan is not inside Pakatan, but the strategic relationship won’t last without direction built on stability. Shafie Apdal cares for Sabah first, and will not sacrifice his state's interests for Pakatan.

Remaining a multi-party coalition, whether four or fewer parties, they still have to form objective and transparent means to determine how power is shared. Not with soundbites and deflection but with a plan.If it means nominee from the party with most seats — the spectre of an ethnic Chinese PM — or designated leader for whole mandate, it must be communicated and adhered to. Perpetual negotiations don’t inspire confidence.

How can Pakatan be ready today if it gullibly takes Umno’s bait? Umno sounds ridiculous, but that’s not foolishness, it’s very clever manipulation of the base feelings of the most vulnerable. Facts in the medium term won’t overcome feelings. But other feelings can. Umno’s previous or PN’s first manifesto for the next election most certainly won’t be great. They don’t intend to be. They don’t want to raise the bar on ideas or progress, they just claim to support all that’s good.
