No one can please everyone, that is the fact which we need to accept. Especially when it comes to election candidates, where it involves the feelings of all rakyat, the majority, minority, as well as politicians themselves.
Today, the Prime Minister has announced candidates who will be contesting in the coming GE13 and soon, we will be able to see the difference between politicians who are wise and mature, and those who are not. This is because, there is no way everyone is happy with the decision made by Prime Minister, no matter how smart, good, sincere or clean the chosen candidates are.
Sometimes, the dissatisfaction occurred not because of issues on candidates, but it is just because of self interest. However, maturity should help us to accept any decisions to enable us to move forward.
By making excuses for not being able to accept facts as well as refusal to move forward, this proves that these sort of people do not deserve to be candidates.
As rakyat, we have the chance to choose the best and reject those who are immature. It seems like Dato’ Seri Najib has done his best to feature the best candidates, after considering the voice from grass roots and rakyat.
If we are to complain with the attitude of a few of BN's small leaders who are arrogant, corrupt or stupid, and at the same time do not want to vote for the opposition which is way more evil, corrupt and stupid, this is the time for us to provide our full support towards candidates chosen by Dato’ Seri Najib.
We also often complain about how potential candidates are rejected since the start, some even when they were given membership forms. Those who have high academic credentials are 'blocked' due to the fear that they might be better than the Branch and Division Chief. Those who are hardworking, honest and sincere are pushed aside because they might just 'steal the limelight' from the current leader. In the end, all political positions are filled with leaders who are no longer relevant. From there, those who are ignorant and those who refuse to work would stay on top, raising hate among rakyat against UMNO/BN.
Thus, Dato’ Seri Najib's decision to present 45% new faces for DUN seats and 33% for Parliament seats proves that Dato’ Seri Najib is serious about injecting transformation into Barisan Nasional. Besides that, 91% chosen candidates have at least a diploma certificate and higher.
Clearly, Dato’ Seri Najib realize that for its survival, BN needs to put rakyat's voice a priority, in front of the voice of those who are not satisfied.
BN's objective is to serve for rakyat, not leaders of Division, Branch, Committee Members not its Ministers and Deputy Ministers. And the same objective should be held by all chosen candidates for this election. Prove to all that you are the certainly the right choice.
For those who were not chosen, this does not mean that you are not good enough. However, do accept the fact, this might be a blessing in disguise.
Besides, if it is true that you are mature, wise and still relevant, prove it by keep on fighting even if you are not one of the candidates. If that is impossible to be done, then please resign in a dignified way. if you are truly the person who you think you are, then you can survive just about anywhere, not just in politics.
Do realize that today's politics' not as same as it was 15 years back where a small mistake do not mean a thing. Today, politics crosses the all borders. One mistake, the country, race and religion might be at risk. That is why, this is not the time for us to think about ourselves and get emotional, instead, look at this transformation as our first step towards a mature, educated, principled and dignified race.
