Politics in Malaysia is getting confusing

Ever since the political tsunami that befall Malaysia on the fated 8th March 2008, the political scene in Malaysia is changed. Not sure for the best or the worst in the future. But I can see it is for the best now. But its a bit confusing. Before this, it is 1 vs 1 (BN versus opposition). Now, its not clear anymore. Its everyone versus everyone. Currently, hottest news is fuel hike. So BN versus the rakyat. Later, allegation of Judge Ian Chin regarding misconduct of Mahathir in interfering with judiciary matter. That's Mahathir vs Judicial. And then someone said this maybe side show to divert attention of the public from fuel hike. It also could be Mahathir vs Abdullah. It's been more pronounce ever since the BN massive losses in the poll. Due to this, there's infighting in UMNO. UMNO vs UMNO. And also, there's infighting in almost every major political parties in BN. In MCA, there's snoop squad case. And Chua Soi Lek who is implicated in sex video is trying to make a come back. In Gerakan, a party which is almost decimated in the poll, lost few of its members whom are employed by PR (a new coalition of opposition). MIC, an Indian political party) which is hated by Malaysian Indian ironically, are in shambled and their relevance are being questioned. Not all is well in PR though. There's problem in electing MB in Perak where Lim Kit Siang is threaten to boycott. But it is resolved amicably, Besides infighting, there's fighting between parties in BN. Sabah for instance, threaten BN to give them more (or else, I assume they will jump to PR). MCA and other non-Malay party start to question some policies which is threatening other ethnic in Malaysia. All this is very confusing indeed. Is this the democracy we wanted? This is absolutely confusing and not really that stable compared to old time. But do we want the oppressive and self indulgence of UMNO last time after the 2004 almost absolute victory? Hell not!! Hope we'll see more stability in the future. But in the meantime, stay tuned. A lot of great show played in your newspaper or more recently in internet. Bravo to Mahathir to have MSC. Probably due to MSC, we've less censored news. Or maybe due to censured news in MSM, we're now resorting to internet. Good luck to Malaysian, wherever you are...
