we voters has decided that Nurul Izzah be the next PM of Malaysia..Muhyiddin Yassin and Najib Razak not wanted save fighting

THIS ELECTION MARKS A DISTINCT SHIFT IN OUR POLITICAL LANDSCAPE WHICH ALL OF US MUST ADJUST TO DEFEAT IS THE DISTANCE BETWEEN A BEDTIME STORY AND A WAKE-UP CALL

But in the age of the iPod, and the i10, and the YouTube (which really should be the iTube) can iPolitics be far behind? As a result of market segmentation, the market share of the umno MCA has steadily declined. The secret of success lies increasingly in co-opetitive marketing, by forming pre-poll alliances or seat adjustments with other products so as to increase the overall market share of both your product as well as your partners'. It's the same marketing principle by which Brand X Washing Machines increase their sales by tying up with Brand Y Detergent, so that when you buy one Brand X you get one Brand Y free. Problems arise when Brand X decides to start making detergent, or when Brand Y goes in for washing machine manufacture. But then they both tie up with other, more synergetic partners. Are they in danger of becoming political dinosaurs, gradually phasing themselves out in a process of natural selection that increasingly seems to favour smaller, more niche-representative rivals to the two mainstream monoliths? As any marketing manager will tell you, monolithic brands dominate undeveloped, or underdeveloped, markets. As the market evolves, brand segmentation inevitably begins to assert itself to cater to a diversity of consumer sectors. This is true of all goods and services that go to make up what is collectively called the market. The big and generic (the woolly mammoths of yester-era) giving way to the smaller and the specific (the homo sapiens species, which includes a bewildering variety of subspecies, from athletes to artists, zoologists to Zen Buddhists) is an inescapable fact of life. The One tends over time to become the Many; the Universal becomes the Particular.The secret of success lies increasingly in co-opetitive marketing, by forming pre-poll alliances or seat adjustments with other products so as to increase the overall market share of both your product as well as your partners'.

   Take cars. When Henry Ford set the wheels of the automotive revolution rolling with the introduction of his mass-produced Model T he famously told his would-be customers: "You can have any colour you want - provided it's black." In those proto-historic days it was the manufacturer who was king, not the consumer. Henry Ford thought all history, including the history of evolution, was bunk. History has proved that Henry Ford was bunk. Today The umno  and mca too large and unwieldy to execute such nimble market manoeuvres. Moreover, both have powerful brands-within-brands. their brand, arguably the biggest inin malaysia, tends to swamp theumno brand as a whole. Similarly, themahathir brand (which many in theumno are uncomfortable with) might in future overwhelm the party brand in is entirety. Is it time for a Mahathir or a NajibUMNO Time alone will tell. 

In the absence of real leadership, economic reforms and political governance are collateral victims. The damage the separation of power and accountability in the Umno -MCA government has caused to our institutions is starkly evident. . The Election Commission, another constitutional body, was demeaned repeatedly by UMNO-MCA during campaigning in elections.This explains the conundrum of why we vote people of such poor moral fibre to parliament,  with criminal charges against them. Politicians ruthlessly exploit voter vulnerability by playing on fears of race, religion and region. When a party like the  UMNO can lead a coalition government with a national voteshare there will be enough voters who fall prey to such dishonourable electoral tactics.

Deputy prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin’s public appeal to have the general election this year in spite of the festive seasons has been interpreted by PAS's Mahfuz Omar as the strongest sign of a 'coup' against his boss Najib Razak.The PAS vice president said Muhyiddin’s move was a strong indication that the UMNO deputy president was planning to oust Najib if the latter fails to deliver two-third majority for Barisan Nasional.“Many predict that BN will not win two-third majority. If it happens, Najib will be seen as a liability, because Pak Lah (Najib’s predecessor Abdullah Badawi) had suffered in the same manner in 2008."When that happens, Muhyiddin will be the prime minister,” said the Pokok Sena member of parliament.Earlier, Muhyiddin said he had informed Najib that the best time for election was this year. This came despite earlier suggestion by Najib that he would delay the general election in order to go for the full five-year term, which expires in March next year.But Muhyiddin said there was nothing wrong to hold elections during seasons such as the Ramadan fasting month and Hari Raya.

  “What's wrong? And what's wrong during the Raya month (Shawwal)? After that, there is the Merdeka Day and Malaysia Day celebrations. Then when the time comes, we'll have our elections,” he said.Mahfuz said Najib was aware that it was impossible for BN to regain its two-third majority which it lost in the 2008 elections under Abdullah's premiership. Following the poor performance, Muhyiddin had openly supported a call by former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad for Abdullah's ouster.The people of have suffered through two centuries of British colonialism and four decades of post-UMNO-MCA misrule. The time for change has arrived. It is for us to seize the moment.

  Nurul is brilliant, she is what we need in malaysia to run the country . Nurul Izzah should be the next PM of Malaysia... She is one lady who can unite the entire nation.. Even the BN folks love her :s great and would say the malays need more leaders like her. at least we stll have an honest malay is not coorupted by ways of wanita umno and barisan .we need more of these kind of leaders in malaysia she is eloquent and articulate her thought well.I was impressed watching her talking during an interview with ABC sometime ago.She certainly stands out as the quality of MP that we Malaysian are can be proud of.The like of Bung Mukhtar and Aziz Mohamad from Johor should be parked at some Meuzium somewhere


 Nurul Izzah will make an excellent PM of the country in the future. Frankly, I do not for see the opposition forming the government at the next GE. However, I do forsee them gaining more ground in parliament and controlling more states. This will prepare the ground for the opposition to win the 14th GE. Nurul will win hands down wherever and whenever she stands. Hence, it is crucial for Keadilan to elevate Nurul to the top leadership of the party after the 13th GE, to prepare her for the ultimate. Mum and Dad should step down and let their daughter take centre stage. She has truly come of age and the nation needs her.




 John's analysis. Nurul Izzah is a rare gem. Her quality must be from her stormy upbringing, having such parents who had weathered so much (and prevailed!). Plus, having all the injustices slapped to her face almost on a daily basis, these kind of harships can mend people to become a withered loser or a charismatic leader. Fortunately for her, she turned out to be the latter. Compare her to the likes,rational and bersih malaysians totally agree with you and the 3 reasons given for supporting YB Nurul Izzah.Compared that to our UMNO/BN ladies like the MCA Ms.Tow Truck Jessie Ooi..tsk,tsk..or Wanita UMNO and Puteri UMNO another tsk,tsk. and not forgetting those ladies who have long past their political shelf life like Shahrizat,Dr.Ng Yen Yen,Penang MCA Tan Cheng Liang etc.etc.who are still holding on to their post with their dear life,not knowing when to step down.Such is the sorry state of affairs facing UMNO/BN party leaders  when the sight of the gravy-train makes their mouth water.. of najib (and his offspring) who were born and lived life practically trouble free, with a silver spoon sticking out of his a**, and see the difference in the outcome. But I'm a bit partial about No4beend's position on Bung and Aziz. Instead of parking them at a museum, where people can still see their ugly facade (and eventually reminisce in their past antics, like what normally happens to museum artefacts), I prefer if we recycle them altogether, turn them into new product that we can use for other more noble purposes, like a toilet paper.

Is this the man?
The custodian of the dying ember?
The man who generations to come will remember as the last man standing, before the new dawn set in?
OR
Is this the man who is going to set in an even more harsh regime?
To ensure he and his team will have a long run on the nation?
Driven by chauvinism, and detested by the international as well as the domestic society?
Is this the start of a dynasty in the Malaysian Public Life?
Does this mean that we Malaysians are so incapable that we need a select few families to tell us how to live our lives?
Are we so dependent that all aspects of our lives need to be controlled?
Are we so handicapped that we need these political dynasties to teach how to interact with each other?
CAN WE THE MALAYSIAN PEOPLE RISE TO THE OCCASSION WHEN THE NATION NEEDS US?
CAN MALAYSIA DEPEND ON US?
