The Opposition parties benefit from the tussle

I haven’t seen Mr Tai for half a year, yet he goes against me the moment that we meet. Mahathir has unprecedentedly joined hands to oust Najib so the Opposition parties should be the ones getting the most benefits. How dare you still say that DAP lost more than it gained.

Nobody would operate a business at a loss. Eng Gor of DAP is extremely clever even in buying a house, would he not be able to calculate whether it would be a profit or loss when he partners with Mahathir?

Najib and the BN government are facing the “Cape 7 Billion” such a huge obstacle. This has caused the people’s complaints to hit the roof. Now that Umno is having a rare internal disorder, the ones that benefit are certainly the Opposition parties and the biggest loser is surely Umno.

DAP has always been dependent on Chinese votes to win. The huge amount of mess of BN has made the Chinese communities even more enraged. On the other hand, DAP’s rocket is reaching even higher. And MCA wants to make a comeback? Mr Tai, wouldn’t you say that this is dreaming?

The Chinese aren’t the only ones enraged about the mess of BN, the Malays too. Don’t think that Mahathir isn’t capable, he joins forces with the Opposition parties with the goal of ousting Najib and not collapsing BN. As long as this goal is properly conveyed, then Umno would react greatly, especially the grassroots. The reaction of the silent and powerless grassroots is the most terrifying so BN’s subsequent headache should be severe.

In this uncommon case where the Chinese, Malays and Indians are collectively dissatisfied with the BN government, BN would be in danger if the general election is now. Mr Tai has such a wide circle of acquaintance, he should ask around among his BN friends and he would hear their sighs.

The Sarawak election is the key of whether Najib could sustain this. If BN loses a few more seats in its fixed deposit which is Sarawak, Najib would need to see if Adenan and the whole BN team would let him hold on to it even if he wants to. It’s to avoid the future of BN being affected.

Be it the Rocket, PKR, Amanah or PAS, they are happy to be benefitted from the infighting of their enemies. Lim Guan Eng’s “mutual consent” house purchase case wouldn’t create too much negative effects on DAP. Compared to the repercussion of the “Cape 7 Billion”, the house purchase case isn’t even worth a mention. The Rakyat “recognize the money and not the person”.

The Rocket comrades have already prepared their seats, waiting for the show of Umno brothers fighting among themselves on the stage. DAP and comrades wouldn’t need to spend too much effort and just have to wait for the enemies to destroy themselves completely.

Mr Tai, we should also prepare the seats and beers, and wait for the good show!
