The wind of change - for the good or bad?

The current development in our counrty's political landscape is
certainly not a good sign to our economic growth. Does TDM care about
it? Or does his action stem from his strong belief that unless he
does something dramatic such as relinquishing his party membership,
the party will not succeed in restoring people's confidence and will
fall to its knees in the next PRU, if not earlier.

There's always something behind a wise man's move; it's for the
remaining members to decipher the doctor's words. Has this got
something to do with Anwar Ibrahim's statement elsewhere that he's
ready to form a new federal government?

In Buletin TV3 19 May 2008, Tuan Guru Nik Aziz said if an internationally
acclaimed leader like the very wise TDM offers to join PAS, the party
will be riding on their luck. But where's TDM going after this? The
party which correctly anticipates TDM's next move will likely have the
extra edge to manouvre.

Whatever the outcome, the current scenario doesn't look good to our
economic growth. While other emerging markets like China, India,
Brazil, Viet Nam, and, ineterestingly, Thailand as well as Indonesia
are attracting more and more investors, Malaysia's image diminishing
in the investors' radar should remain our major concern. PRU12 result
itself drove most foreign investors' share sell-out on an
unprecedented scale to sink prices, mostly of government-linked
companies, further down where it's so difficult to recover. Any
subsequent unfavorable development in our politics certainly won't
help restore investors' confidence. Nor will both moves by TDM and
AI.

I think we need to be bold enough in order to make change? As you can see, after election, what is dynamism brought by BN/UMNO? They talked about post mortem, comdemning people about the losses and put so many reasons and rhetoric explanations. Those not help the situations either.

I believe and strongly believe, Tun has made a very good move. In chess, sometimes you need to sacrifice your pawns or knights, in order for you to make a check-mate, and tun did that.

It is normal process, which I think it is very timely where we need strong govt. Strong govt with strong leadership. Only strong leadership, with solid policy and implementation will restore not only public but also investor's confidence. Therefore, I believe, the current Government should change in order for our country to move forward.
