From Zero To Hero - Najib and UMNO BN, PH allowed them to comeback from the dead.

BEST FBKL: Many TRUE Pakatan Harapan and Tun Mahathir supporters are saying the same thing PH deserved to lose in Semenyih. Under the new Government we cannot be shy to voice out our discontentment of the Governments actions. 
1. The people can be patient and wait for PH to fulfil it's manifesto promises due to the financial situation of the country but the ministers should not stop making unpopular decisions when your own manifesto promise has not been kept.

- The No Smoking campaign in restaurants should have been differed and not shoved down peoples throat just 6 months into the term. The Government could have waited one or two years.

- At no time during the GE14 campaign it was said Mansuhkan GST 6% dan Mulanya SST 6%! To the man on the street it makes ZERO difference however you want to say that less companies are taxed.

- Education Ministers Black Shoes Rule and Appointing himself as a University Chancellor makes people wonder whats his priorities.

- The Sports Minister appointing BN supporters to become a GLC head made a mockery of all those capable people who supported Pakatan Harapan in GE14 and spent their own funds to fund various campaigns without expecting anything in return.

- The Sports Minister through dubious new appointments at Perbadanan Stadium Malaysia replaced the CEO and senior management team of the Malaysia Stadium Board who was instrumental in Bukit Jalil Stadium winning the Best Stadium in the World 2018. What happened to Meritocracy?

-BERSATU going into Sabah renegading on a promise to leave it to PH allies in Sabah opened the eyes of the Rakyat if it was going to be a new version of UMNO Baru.

-Official Press Conferences after Cabinet meetings seemed to have stopped, leaving people to wonder what is going on? As BN leaders take centre stage on social media platforms, PH ministers are working in the shadows. most likely afraid to attract criticism.

- PH must continue engaging stakeholders and the Rakyat on Social Media, the communication must be continuous. Do not be afraid of criticism.

- When wrong doings are uncovered against PH leaders there seems to long moments of silence like the case in Perak when a RM2 company is awarded Timber concessions or when leaders lie about their degrees. No SWIFT action insight. What happen to zero tolerance for corruption and wrongdoings.

- Different Ministers contradicting themselves with different statements in public about a same issue, then not correcting the situation.

- The appointment of inexperienced, arrogant and young Ministers were even more shocking to the Rakyat. Some of these ministers don't even give courtesy replies to letters written to them.  Some even refuse to schedule appointments to meet stakeholders in their relevant ministries or industries.Industry CEO's. Some say it is sometimes easier to meet the PM then these Ministers. 

- Expedite the charging of corrupt leaders. Some of the leaders and corrupt GLC Board Members have not even been charged yet. There must be accountability.


I agree with Mariam Mokhtar's post mortem below and I hope PH leaders take note of it.






Najib: From zero, to hero… 
• By Mariam Mokhtar 
• 2 March, 2019 

I am against bad governance, whether in Umno-Baru/BN and PAS, or in PH. 

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE VISION? 
When PH won in GE-14 last year, they offered Malaysians a vision of a country that was going to address corruption and tackle injustice. They gave Malaysians a reason for change. People were fed up with the scandals. Najib Abdul Razak stealing taxpayers’ money. 1MDB. Rosmah’s bags and jewellery. The cronies. PAS and Umno-Baru’s unity government. Land sold cheaply to the PRC. 
Malays were stealing from the Malays. Tabung Haji, Felda,  MARA. Adnan Mansor. Zahid Hamidi. Allegations of corruption in mosques. Wives and children of Umno-Baru/BN ministers forming companies to enrich themselves. 
It was not the Chinese, the DAP, Christians or  Israeli, stealing from the Malays. It was Malays stealing from other Malays. When are the thieving Malays going to be punished? 
PADAN MUKA, PH 
Today, PH lost in Semenyih. Did they deserve to lose? Yes, they did. Padan muka! They were complacent. They failed to address bread and butter issues. They failed to implement the reforms, and people’s lives have not changed much. 
Najib who last year, PH said, was responsible for almost bankrupting Malaysia, roams free. It is taking a long time to punish him, his wife, former members of his cabinet and their cronies. The rakyat is getting restless. 
Najib is clever. He uses social media and his new image, to travel around Malaysia, and undermine PH, to attack its ministers and its policies. In other words, he is acting like an innocent man. 
When Bersatu accepted former Umno-Baru members into the party, it was seen as a splinter group of Umno-Baru. PH will never match, nor win, the incendiary racial and religious rhetoric of Umno-Baru/PAS. 
Umno-Baru/PAS excel at division. They incite  the Malays to hate non-Malays. PH should not attempt to be like them. 
BE BOLD PH. DO NOT BE A SPLINTER GROUP OF UMNO-BARU 
Affirmative action policies make Malays weak. PH should end affirmative action policies which have been in place for decades and have not worked. Many Malays realise this. It is time for PH to be bold, and punish anyone who incites violence, and show Malaysians that it means business. 
The people who are used to accepting dedak, know that with Umno-Baru/BN, they can be assured, of receiving more dedak. That is probably one reason why Umno-Baru/BN won in Semenyih. Umno-Baru promotes stealing and lying. 
PH could offer a vision of a country which is based on meritocracy and needs, but instead it appears to reward people who lie and who are failures. The senior politicians who are deputy ministers or Mentri besars, who lied about their degrees, should be sacked. They have brought shame to the party and Malaysia. 
WRONG PEOPLE ARE PROMOTED AND FAILURE IS REWARDED 
PH has young people in very senior roles, and inexperienced people to run very important ministries. For example, the Youth and Sports Minister, Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, shocked Malaysians when he said that to carry out reforms too quickly will result in PH losing GE-15. On the contrary, if PH is bold, it will gain the confidence of the populace and win the next election. 
Education minister, Dr Maszlee Malik, is more interested in religious teachers and the colour of school shoes, than revamping the system, making teachers more productive, and lessons more appealing. 
Last year, PH appeared to show solidarity, to get rid of Najib and Umno-Baru/BN. This year, we see a PM-in-waiting talking about his succession plan, who offers few solutions for a more equal and harmonious nation. PH also showed its ugly face with public displays of party infighting. 
PAS leaders have allegedly taken money from Umno-Baru. Their leaders have publicly admitting lying about their corruption. However, few, if any, religious scholars, muftis and royalty, have condemned the destructive Islam being preached by Hadi Awang, in which lying and stealing is acceptable. What is PH doing about this? 

NO TEAMWORK, MIXED MESSAGES, LACK OF MOMENTUM, COMPLACENCY, UNPREPAREDNESS 
In the Semenyih by-election, what happened behind the scenes? Did PH sit down and discuss what to focus on and what to avoid? The PH candidate, Muhammad Aiman Zainali, talked about the need for a hospital, but the Health Minister, Dr Dzulkefly  Ahmad, disagreed.  Then, the Health Minister changed his mind, and passed the buck to the Finance Minister, Lim Guan Eng. If there is a need for a hospital, surely it is for the Health Minister to lobby and present his case to the Finance Minister. The Health Minister looked weak and he compromised the PH candidate. 
Don’t mimic Umno-Baru’s tactics and use family members, as candidates, to gain the sympathy vote. Don’t talk about flying cars, when you can’t even resolve congestion on roads. Don’t give out election goodies. 
The public relations exercise of Najib and Umno-Baru was slick. They were media savvy. Their election machinery was well run, whereas PH’s lacked momentum. 
Malays who are used to the dedak culture will welcome Umno-Baru, but the majority of Malaysians who are decent hardworking people, do not want taxpayer’s money being stolen or abused. They are looking for bold moves by PH to stop race and religion being used to destablise Malaysia. 
Instead of going on the defensive and attacking Najib, PH should focus on what it can do for Malaysia. Carry out the reforms now. Punish corrupt politicians and their cronies quickly. Trim the civil service to make it more effective. 
MALAYSIA IS A MESS 
Malaysia is a mess because the government is held to ransom by the Malay extremists. For how long should the government continue, to pander to Malay sensitivities? Ten months, ten years, ten decades? The Malays will be wiped out, by then. 
Syed Saddiq said that PH will lose GE-15 if the reforms are done too quickly. Don’t be daft! It’s already happening. 
It is time that Malaysians learnt, that the best person for the job, should be based on meritocracy and not on race. 
PH looks like a poor copy of Umno-Baru. Its loss is nothing to do with Najib’s aura. Semneyih showed that PH was weak and unprepared.
