PM Najib did not have the guts to admit the reality:
More urban Malays voted the Pakatan Rakyat irrespective of party (PKR, PAS or DAP) and Candidate ethnicity.
The ball game has changed. Younger voters are better educated and more mature. Younger voters are shying away from Racial-based Politics.
Younger votes are by big majority, middle-class employees. Monthly income is just enough for monthly expenditures, may be not so enough. Younger voters are easily influenced by friends and peers, rather than public figures.
UNDERSTAND THE REALITY!
Rules of the Game has changed.
UMNO is now desperate. Certain quarters within UMNO is courting PAS to join BN.
UMNO knows that 14GE may be even tougher if the Rural Malays swing to PR because the children (urban Malays) would be influencing their parents (rural Malays).
MCA also need to do soul-searching. Remain in BN? or do something outrageous? E.g. leave the BN coalition?
If MCA doesn't want to join the Cabinet, why remain in BN? Just leave BN, and become another opposition party.
MCA is losing its RELEVANCE to the Younger Generation. Ask the Younger Generation about what they want from Malaysian Chinese pary. Social media now dominates the interration style. But MCA is way, way behind in the aspect of social media.
MCA needs BPR (Business Process Re-Engineering)!! MCA needs Reformation and Transformation! MCA needs to be remodelled. MCA needs REVIVAL!
This is a DO-or-DIE Scenario.
This is a REVIVE or Vanish situation.

GE13: Najib: Chinese taken for a ‘good ride’

Extract from article in The Star:
Najib also disagreed that Barisan's election setback was due to a rural-urban divide in the voting pattern and stressed that the support for the ruling coalition in some urban areas, with large numbers of Malay voters, had increased compared with 2008.

PM Najib said NO to sports betting
It is good news to me that legalized sports betting is stopped, as announced Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, the Prime Minister.
I do realize that the Government (in particular the Federal Government) is need of more cash, more tax money. Sports betting business is very lucrative; sports fans are known to bet anything from RM50 to RM5,000. This is indeed HUGE business…probably bigger than 4-digit business. 4 digit punters often bet anything from RM10 to RM300; this figure is smaller compared to the potential in sports betting.
My objection to legalizing sports betting is because:
1) This will be seen as BN Government supporting, endorsing or promoting Sports Betting and Gambling.
2) MCA had stated their stand and reasons behind their stand. Concluded stand was to concur with legalized sports betting.
3) PR would have a new song to sing. BN, UMNO and MCA supports gambling, supports sports betting in open manner.
4) Legalized Sports Betting will be another Modal Politik for DAP, Keadilan and PAS.
5) Most importantly, Legalized Sports Betting may cause Najib to be the last Prime Minister from BN. Remember R-A-H-M-A-N.

PM: No sports betting licence
By ZUHRIN AZAM AHMAD newsdesk@thestar.com.my
KUALA LUMPUR: No sports betting licence will be issued as feedback from the public indicate a majority of people oppose such a move, said the Prime Minister.
[my comments: APPLAUSE to Mr Prime Minister for listening to the voice of the Rakyat.]
“It (the decision) is about political impact and from the (Islam) religion point of view.
[my comments: Christians and Buddhists also must NOT and should NOT gamble. No eomments about atheists as they are not guided by any God, gods or religion.]
“Our intention earlier was to control illegal betting which is said to worth close to RM10bil; as well as to curb the rampant crime activities resulting from this illegal trade,” said Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
He added the issue was raised at the Umno supreme council meeting yesterday and the council members supported the decision unanimously.
Najib said Ascot Sports Sdn Bhd had been informed of the decision.
“They accepted it,” he said at a press conference at about 11.30pm after chairing the meeting.
As the approval given to Ascot earlier was “in principle” only, Najib said the issue of compensating the company did not arise as the Finance Ministry had the absolute right to withdraw the approval given.
Najib added the Government was not too concerned about the economic impact resulting from decision to say no to sports betting.
It is understood that the matter has been conveyed to Tan Sri Vincent Tan, the chairman and chief executive officer of Berjaya Corp. He is expected to issue a statement on Monday.
The Finance Ministry had on June 7 told Parliament that Government had yet to issue a sports betting licence to Ascot.
However, Berjaya Corp in a filing to Bursa Malaysia in May, informed about its acquisition of Ascot.
The company also told Bursa that Ascot was re-issued the licence by Finance Ministry to carry out sports betting operations with certain terms and conditions.

Barisan Nasional must remain united
Datuk Seri Najib had emphasized that BN must remain united. I think this is a good statement made by the PM, who is also the Chaiman of BN and President of UMNO.
As everyone knows, Pakatan Rakyat has been influencing people and preparing to win simple majority. PR’s ambition is getting bigger. PR is aiming to over the Government. Since they managed to win 5 States at 308 General Election (now reduced to 4 States), their ambition is getting BIGger. A lot of propaganda-oriented emails are forwarded with direct and indirect message….change the Government. In other words, to vote PR so that PR can rule the Federal Government.
It is time for all BN component parties to think, rethink, develop and implement strategies that will enable BN to be still in power after the next General Election.
It is crucial for BN component parties to make use of New Media as one of the means for propaganda. We know that PR had very successfully make use of New Media to propagate their cause. We know that our PM has been using YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and blog to publicise. As a result, the Rakyat’s degree of acceptance of PM has been rising.
MCA should also maximize the use of static website, dynamic website, blogsite, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, YahooGroup, GoogleGroup, and sms to win over….firstly, all MCA members, secondly, all the Chinese population, and thirdly, Malaysian in general.

BN component leaders should avoid quarrels, says MCA veep
KUALA LUMPUR: Barisan Nasional component party leaders should avoid quarrels and have mutual respect for one another given the current political scenario which is getting more complex, said MCA vice-president Datuk Seri Donald Lim Siang Chai.
“More importantly we must remain humble,” he said.
Lim was commentting on the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s call on Barisan component parties to stop quarelling among themselves.
Making the call at the opening of PPP’s 57th general assembly here on Saturday, Najib said the opposition wanted to take over the Government and it was important for the ruling coalition to remain united.
Lim said the MCA discussed the issue at a brainstorming camp for national leaders in Port Dickson on Friday.
“We feel that leaders in Barisan component should not comment too much on certain issues and it is unbecoming of them to attack each other through the mass media,” he told reporters after a meeting with board members of Memorial Tun Abdul Razak here yesterday.
