This is one of the biggest defeat for the coalition of BN. However the federal government is still belongs to BN with just 8 seats away from 2/3 majority. It is the time to consolidate the effort in the development of the country based on the the different roles of Federal and States government. The coalition of BN should not take the defeat as the sign of rejection from the citizens for further development in the country. It is just a response to many unresolved issues during past 4 years.
Again, everyone in the coalition should start their effort into getting members who have the capability of a leader. Just merely depends on the popularity of an individual within a party is not enough as this just not always means the person is well accepted within a community.
For parliamentary seat, candidate should be chosen among those with a proven academic qualification and many track records in the communities services. As the government is already aware of the importance to get the best brain to serve for the country, they also must try to get them to be part of the coalition. This is to ensure the best of the best are running the government's administration. We just can't always ask directly from the citizens of what they want as this just show the incapabilities of the MPs within the government to think and act in behalf of the citizens.
The states should be represented by the local people preferably. Those selected must be genuinely involved in the communities he represented. The development within his community must the main agenda for each state representative. He must be allowed to voice out the demands of the local community and not been suppressed to act differently based on the order or direction from the federal state.
Many unresolved local issues have been tackled without much concern on the satisfaction of the parties involved. Just for example, when an issue involving the Chinese community, the state government which is headed by a member representing different community did not show their concern at all. And all the issues need to be forwarded to the Chinese based party like MCA for them to get assistance. This will eventually make a citizen to feel the representative chosen is not a neutral person who will help all the people within his parliamentary or state area, and they still need to go back to they party representing them. This is not a good practice as will just splits us based on our race, and not as a Malaysian.
Again, need to understand our ultimate aim is to develop our country into a developed nation based on own our criteria. So when certain changes which will involve the citizens, comparison need to be made based on the changes within the communities itself, and not with other countries with different currency and socio-economic status.
Current government need to find out the real problem faced by the communities whenever a change in the price of essential items been imposed. The representative within the coalition may not able to tell the real story as they may be living in a much more luxury way though they are living within a poor community they represented. Government also needs to study the implication of any changes especially involving high cost of livings within the poorer group of citizens so more accurate adjustment can be made.
The losses are not only involved the poor communities but also the urbanized. There are not so much affected by the price rise but more that that. Most of them are exposed to many informations other that those projected by the government. The dissatisfaction mainly based on the figures shown the mismatching of the income and the money spent. Government can improve this by doing more to fight against corruption. Now there is nothing to loss by acting more seriously against corruption as the fear of losing support is not an issue anymore with the big defeat. Also government must be able to counter the allegations by becoming more transparent in their spending, and produce reasonable explanation that can be understand and accepted by the people. People will not concern so much on figures projected by the opposition if their livings are not affected.
Do hope the opposition will be able to give constructive input to the ruling government so the peoples' aspiration and the development of the nation are always be their priority. If they are really good, and have more capable people to help the ruling government in bringing our country into a better future, they will eventually be accepted as an useful parties that can help to shape our future. The wins by the opposition have yet prove the success of them to lead the people but merely because the rejection of the current government by the people.
