Datuk Dr. M Kayveas, PPP President has been making the statement that BN leaders must think multi-racial and finally today May, 14, 2008 the MIC secretary-general Datuk Dr S. Subramaniam is joining PPP in calling the rest of the BN component parties to think likewise.
For the future of BN, it is true there must be a paradigm shift or change in mindset of BN leaders in thinking as one race or Bangsa Malaysia “especially from Umno” quoted by MIC for BN to regain the peoples’ support.
MIC ‘doing too little too late’ in supporting our forward thinking “I must think multi-racial” and in sounding out to our brothers in BN had cost us dearly. “MIC too suffered huge losses in the March 8 general election”, he said. “The Indian community staged a silent revolution and had sent a strong message to the party.
Today after the 12th General Election, our two big brothers in BN component parties like MCA and MIC talks about multiracialism in BN. Before the general election, both did not respect the true multiracial party like PPP and were condemning for thinking differently. Even BN-GERAKAN, a multiracial party wanted to destroy another multiracial party like PPP in BN.
Thinking multi-racial is not enough, we must move forward and form the most respected BN multi-racial party by merging the 14 component parties. BN converging to talk about rebranding BN should seriously look at merging the coalition parties. ‘No action talk only’ will only give more opportunities to PKR....to become a truly multiracial party which the Rakyat is fighting for.

Greetings Dr Tanks, I agree that that since Malaysia has moved so far ahead under leadership of past PMs all this talk about race and superiority is very unbecoming. While we need to protect, help and guide the weak among us the others should have equal chance especially to gain from the economic pie available. As who rules of couse we have our kings and our parliment so no questions there. Now after all the dust of elections have settled, stop stirring sentiments and let us get on.The govt be it BN or PR should start by continuing with all old development projects and intro new ones so that rakyat could benefit.
Make sure that there is enough money to go round and to service your campaign promises. It is easy to make noise but difficult to carry through your promises more so if you promise the moon and stars ( but in PPP, we can give the stars that is on our flag and uniform).
The govt should now get down to bussiness and leave the politicking until near next election. All this talk about jumping and changing party by MPs should stop now. They all elected as they represent their party not as an independent so for their term in office they must remain with that party. Buying and selling of Mps and their loyalty is very demeaning, as it sounds like they are cattle. The rakyat have high expectation of them by voting the party so they better live up to it. Again they better behave BERHORMAT to get our hormat/ respect.

Be prepared for snap polls, officers told
PUTRAJAYA: The Election Commission (EC) has informed its officers to be prepared for a snap election, said chairman Tan Sri Abdul Rashid Abdul Rahman.
Stressing that he was not one to speculate, Abdul Rashid said the EC was prepared “for anything” and was capable of handling a snap election as it had all necessary infrastructure in place.
In an interview with mStar Online yesterday, he revealed that after the post-mortem of the 12th General Election, he had instructed all returning officers (RO) to be prepared for any eventuality.
Similarly, the 140,000 people involved in the general election have also been advised to not refuse when called upon again for duty in the event of a snap election.
“But I don’t want to speculate, and it is not for us to speculate, but we are prepared for anything. In the past two months of meeting with the ROs, I’ve already told them to be prepared as it may be called anytime,” he said.
Abdul Rashid was responding to talk on recent events that have led to speculations of Umno members defecting from the party en masse and even party hopping following Barisan Nasional's dismal showing in the elections.
Various parties have since come forward in favour of an anti-hopping law proposed by Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Mohd Zaid Ibrahim in March.
In the same light, tension has been fuelled in Barisan following the shocking announcement of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s resignation from Umno on Monday.
Political observer Dr Chandra Muzaffar said the possibility of a snap election in the near future could not be dismissed.
“However, I do not consider it as a serious possibility, only that in politics, such possibilities cannot not be rejected outright,” he said.
Universiti Putra Malaysia political communications lecturer Associate Prof Dr Abdul Muati @ Zamri Ahmad said it was possible a snap election could take place if MPs were to cross over.
