Zahid as UMNO president is backing Anwar. There are some within UMNO who are rebelling against Zahid and party elections are in a few months. A powerless UMNO president will get challenged, and may lose. If a new president is elected, he might pull BN out of PH. What do we do?
1. Empower GPS & GRS and ensure all other parties are taken care of equally so no one party can hold PH hostage.

2. If Zahid cannot be TPM, then DSAI has to only appoint someone approved by Zahid, i.e, his proxy.

3. Binding CSA with BN, GPS, GRS and publicize to the public.
We cannot antagonize Zahid or UMNO. Remember how Azmin as Minister openly challenged his PKR President, who at the time had no govt post/power? Mahathir tried and failed to split PKR. Muhyiddin tried the same trick with UMNO when he bypassed MKT UMNO and elected who he wanted.
We cannot repeat the same mistake. This is a unity govt, not a PH govt. Imagine how we'd feel is UMNO said no to Rafizi because of bad blood? We wouldn't want anyone telling us who we can and cannot put forth as a candidate for Minister.
While politics is the art of the possible, there are also some basic morals which can help guide us.

1. Treating people as an equal.
2. Not taking advantage of your ally or enemy.
3. Being fair and transparent.

PH supporters will do well to understand this. #Realpolitik
It is unpleasant to read and some may not be able to stomach this. But ask yourself this - is your hatred for one man worth sacrificing all of Malaysia? #Realpolitik

P/S: This doesn't mean Zahid or Sadiq or LGE have their cases dropped. The judiciary must remain independent.
I hope any PH supporter reading this will manage their expectations. I end by reiterating that this is unfortunately not a PH government but a Unity government where all parties are relatively equal. Don't call for Anwar's head when tough decisions have to be made. #Realpolitik

Apa kaitan "change management" dengan #KerajaanPerpaduan DSAI? Tatkala PH memerintah selama 22 bulan, mereka hanya melaksanakan "plan" dan "implement". Dari dulu lagi saya sudah cakap, ini akan gagal. 60+ tahun lebih, penjawat awam, rakyat, dan negara hanya tahu satu cara.
Untuk menjayakan dasar dan misi reformasi, apa kita perlu buat?

1. Buat penyelidikan. Bincang dengan pegawai kerajaan, dengar pendapat mereka.

2 Beri masa untuk memulakan proses pembaharuan. Pastikan jangka masa yang mencukupi untuk pegawai atau rakyat merasa selesa sedikit.
3. Selepas melaksanakan, kena pantau. Ambil maklum balas dari pegawai atau rakyat. Perbaiki apa yang tak betul. Jangan taksub hanya dengan satu cara.

4. Akhirnya, uji berkesanan proses atau dasar tersebut. Mesti ada pengukuran yang jelas. KPI yang realistik. Baru berjaya.

Tiga perkara penting yang akan dipertimbangkan apabila membentuk kabinet #KerajaanPerpaduanNegara

1. Kebolehan
2. Integrity
3. Realpolitik

Rayuan saya kepada rakyat Malaysia ialah untuk tidak melupakan pentingnya untuk mencari keseimbangan diantara tiga perkara diatas.
Perkara 1 dan 2 mudah difaham, manakala isu Realpolitik lebih rumit. Huraian:

1. Mencari jalan tengah diantara personaliti UMNO dan DAP.

2. Menghormati hierarki dalaman parti-parti dan memberi sedikit autonomi kepada pimpinan parti tersendiri untuk mengemukakan calon mereka.
3. Membahagikan kerusi penting diantara tiga bloc kerajaan.

4. Mengangkat Sabah dan Sarawak sebagai rakan kongsi.

5. Tunai janji kepada rakyat bahawa kabinet akan dikecilkan.

Nasihat saya adalah untuk ahli & penyokong PH faham perkara ini. Yang penting, reformasi diteruskan.

[THREAD 1/N] If it happens, and before social media descends into complete chaos, these are some key advice for PH leaders & supporters to avoid a repeat of the previous administration which enabled Langkah Sheraton. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
1. Do not succumb to politics of vengeance. There is no glory nor benefit in shaming your opponents. If corruption is uncovered, focus on fixing the root cause, not using it for political mileage. PH went on a spree during 1MDB but lost sight of it's reason and purpose.
2. Establish and maintain a strong presence on all social media platforms to control the narrative and respond to fake news. Optics is everything in politics. PH were focused on administration and left a vacuum in managing political affairs and were constantly on the defensive.

The danger in our haste to kill off UMNO without having an adequate replacement has left a vacuum in Malaysian politics. PAS is a fascist right wing party that has grown like cancer. Yes, UMNO needs cleaning up. But anyone who thinks Malaysia doesn't need UMNO is deluded.
UMNO needs cleaning up, big time. But to destroy UMNO, for whom many Malays, especially in the B60 group look to as their protector is detrimental to the stability of Malaysia. Because without UMNO, the Malays will look for an alternative. That is what happened with PAS and PN.
Let this be a lesson to us, never deal in absolutes. For many, PH is no holy grail either. What we need is unity and reconciliation. Fail, and Malaysia will slip to the path of right wing extremists. History teaches us that should this happen, it will never be reversed.

BN apologists will have you believe that PH must be 1000% perfect and only then are deserving of your vote. Do not fall into this psychological trap. No political party in Malaysia is perfect, and there will never be one.
PH made many mistakes and there were teething problems but the fact remains 60 years of damage cannot be fixed in 22 months. Mahathir & Azmin were the ringleaders of the previous PH administration and both hijacked it. Anwar and Rafizi are the leaders this time around.
The team behind Anwar, Rafizi, Anthony Loke and the rest of the PH leaders are younger, of better caliber and most importantly, more capable. This election is about policies and not just personalities. There are 6M voters aged between 18-40 and this election is for your future!

1/n

Kalau ikut data, kajian menunjuk hampir 75% calon GTA akan hilang deposit dan 95% calon akan kalah. Kenapa Mahathir dan GTA akan kalah teruk pada #PRU15 yang akan datang? Ini adalah bebenang.
Orang Melayu bukan malas ataupun bodoh. Mahathir masih terperangkap dengan mentaliti tahun 80-an. Dia tak faham bahawa generasi sekarang bukan sahaja berpendidikan tetapi bekerja kuat hanya untuk "survive". Ramai orang Melayu sekarang pandai berniaga dan faham isu ekonomi.
Orang Melayu yang bekerja sebagai pegawai kerajaan dulu boleh hidup dengan selesa dengan gaji mereka. Akibat kemerosotan ekonomi, kos harga barang naik dan tatkala gaji tidak naik, semua menyebabkan hidup sebagai pegawai kerajaan dan B40 dah takde beza. Kais pagi makan pagi.
