Looks like the BN is getting ready for the 13th elections. Check out this article in Mkini :: BN divisions told to submit candidate lists to Najib
Most expect the PM, who had a successful minor knee surgery today, to call for elections in the next few months. But with the recent brewing of the Bersih 2.0 rally, the unfriendly economy and the ring, the PM might not be too keen to call for elections just yet, despite his repaired and hence probably stronger knee. Speedy recovery, unconfirmed 1Malaysia PM.
He did give such a weak-kneed response to the question regarding whether he is malaysian first and everything else second. Dap has named him the "lamest" PM ever.
Whatever, lame or weak-kneed, PM has to stand on his own two little feet soon. He will not only have to win the 13th election but he will have the tall order of regaining the much-valued two-third majority in the Dewan.
So Pakatan has got to go one better than what was gained in the tsunami of 2008 and not lose the momentum. When, then, many said that parachute candidates had little problem winning, the landscape is different now. The voters are more discerning after having experienced the said tsunami and expect more of Pakatan. It appears that fence-sitters are increasing in numbers and like the other rakyat, would like to see quality candidates. Dubious parachute candidates and candidates, voters might view as potential "katak" are no, no. So, start doing your homework Pakatan and start screening and filtering your potential wannabe YBs and Aduns. Or you might find Putrajaya slipping away.
