Tun Faisai Ismail Aziz is from Barisan Nasional. He is also an Umno (United Malays National Organisation) Youth Exco member and the Chairman of the Umno Youth New Media Unit (UMB). As a chairman of UMB, he is responsible in the handling of Umno’s cyber war through new media such as blogs, Facebook and Twitter.
New Mandala is asking Malaysians and Malaysianists worldwide their views on the two coalitions vying for power at the 13th general election in Malaysia. Their responses are published unedited.
The overridding major issue within Malaysian politics should be not who governs Malaysia but rather how is Malaysia governed. Both sides of politics are promissing things such as higher salaries which could potentially cause a disaster within the Malaysian economy and spark off bouts of inflation,and force the private sector to compete with the public sector,etc.
There just doesnt seem to be much shared vision about what Malaysia could and should be in the future. Urban development is creating overcrowded cities, crime, urban poverty, and a loss of a sense of national identity vis a vis rural Malaysia.
However a vibrant two party (or front) system will definatley assist in improving transparancy and good governance within the country.
Although the BN has many faults, many urban gen Y voters feel that voting for the PR is voting for a new political dynasty, also with arrogant cadres just like the BN. Some also fear that a PR Govt may be one of retribution and revenge. These worries are costing votes from the younger generation.
There is a group of people in the country who vision a hung parliament that may bring a third alternative not mentioned above, that of a national unity government. There is precedent in Malaysia for this. A compromise PM like Ku li could certainly gain the respect of both sides, royalty and the rakyat.
One thng for certain this election will see the retirement and start over a passing of the guard to a younger generation of politican. Win or loose Good Bye DS Najib, DSAI, and lain2. The most likely legacy of this election is two party government, and younger politicans who are product’s of the local education system. Ironically this is the ultimate creation of the BN.
