The 13th GE- Reading Entrails and Tea-leaves

There were many who predicted that the aftermath of the 13 General Elections may be a hung Parliament.


The soothsayer Daim who predicted the outcome of the 12th General Elections quite correctly, is reading entrails and tea-leaves these days. As he fleshes out the issues facing the BN, he also saw the foreboding shadow of a hung Parliament. This is certainly not good for PM Najib.

Today, even PM Najib spoke about it. The thought has certainly crossed his mind.


In the short time window before him before April 2013 when he will be compelled to call the GE, he is doing his level best to win over the hearts of the people. He is good in optics and his hand-outs certainly can do the trick.

As a political observer, I see worrying concerns in the BN camp.

Trouble is Najib is not having a good team in UMNO; and certainly not in the albatrosses-slung-on-their necks MCA, Gerakan, SUPP,PPP and MIC component parties. Every time he advances, they drag him back like a full blown parachute!

To make matters worse, the global economy continues to be uncertain with the people suffering from inflation woes that seems to get worse every month.

The question on everyone's lips is this?

Is real fear coming over the BN camp?

"Beware the Ides of March!" yelled the soothsayer as in Julius Caesar.
But in this case most probably is "Beware the Ides of June!" There will be many Cascases or Casciuses who may jump ship when there is a hung parliament. As long as there is a Casca who strikes the first blow, other will follow. Of course, there will be others who are like the noble Brutus did that not in envy of Caesar but for Rome. At the statue of Pompey our Najib will breathe his last breath, " Etu Brutee, then fall Caesar."
