BN nearing the End?

This post can also be titled "The making of a two-party system?".. As far as Malaysian history is concerned, never before a ruling party other than Barisan Nasional has ever ruled the government of Malaysia. The alliance of UMNO, MCA and MIC has been a successful working formula since the independence day. The failure of the opposition to form an alliance due to different ideologies has make it a non-threat to the ruling parties and therefore BN always have garnered a 2/3 majority. It is not until the recent election whereby the opposition have denied the BN a 2/3 majority. The oppositions consists of PAS, PKR and DAP have decided to work together and therefore creates a formidable force against BN. Their cooperations however is hinged upon one dominant person - Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim. This alliance is still intact until today due to this one person who is holding the pact together. Remove this person, and the opposition will crumble. BN knows this and therefore you can see their strategy from the very beginning is to attack Anwar Ibrahim.

Whether this strategy will work or not, we will see in the next election in the near future. However, one good thing that came out of this is the possibility of an alternative ruling party besides BN to the citizen of Malaysia, whereby, we as the rakyat of Malaysia can choose. If the ruling party does not perform or corrupted, we can change it through the election and therefore ends a monopoly of one single political party. This perspective have never been available before due to the weak opposition pact before this. With or without Anwar Ibrahim, the opposition must be a credible force and therefore will make BN on their toe and perform at best for the nation. They should not be sitting comfortable because come the next election, they will probably loose power. This will make any ruling party after this to perform and be accountable to their action. It is a good thing for Malaysia to have. It is democracy at its best.
