A 3-party system in Malaysia?

Ah! Are we looking at the possibility of a 3-party system? BN, PR and a Sabah/Sarawak coalition (SSC)?

If so, it will be more exciting times. BN on one side, PR on the other and SSC holding the balance of power.

Even after the many years of political union, East Malaysians do not feel that they are 'whole' with the West. Politics are still Peninsula-centric and the media talks of Malay this and Malay that while the natives of EM are completely ignored. As if they do not exist except during the GE period. Then, promptly forgotten, again.

Now, it is not that just West Malaysians are solely to be blamed. The setting up of immigration barriers to West Malaysians had played a significant part in alienating Westiest from the East. The irony is that blocking the influx of Westies have allowed the migration of non-Malaysians to their shores.

Affordable commuting transport between our two lands is another factor.

How many Westies have taken a trip to East Malaysia - for a holiday or for seeking business opportunities? The flow is mainly the other way round as EM youths make their way to Universities and other institutes of higher learning in the Peninsula.

In this context, I must say that, at least one good thing about Air Asia, is that this airline has bridged the gap between East and West by making their fares affordable to ordinary citizens.

Now, there is no reason not the travel and visit East Malaysia. Then, one can learn and begin to understand the frustrations of our fellow Malaysians in Sabah. Seeing the infulx of illegal immigrants "encouraged" by a despotic government and finally, being given MyKads. In this way, eroding the majority of KDMs in favour of non-Sabahans.

In Sarawak, natural resources are being raped for the benefit of a few. Natives are being chased out from their traditional lands. Do we in West Malaysia care?

Thus, this GE is God-sent. This is a power play opportunity by the East Malaysians to extract all that is fairly due to them after years and years of neglect and rape.

1. First, give BN the opportunity to prove that they can deliver what is fairly demanded. Not just talk and assurances but ACTUALLY DELIVER on the long time issues, specially in Sabah.
2. Set a definite deadline for the implementation AND completion of the issues.
3. After which, the ball goes to PR's court in a vote of no confidence in the BN government. Say, September 16?
4. Then, PR will be given a similar kind of deadline to fulfill all its promises to the people of East Malaysia.

THAT IS HOW EAST MALAYSIA SHOULD DEAL WITH THIS SITUATION AFTER YEARS OF "COLONIAL" RULE!
