BN-The Candidates List

The sad thing about choosing someone for a privileged position is making one person happy and making all the rest of the contenders unhappy.

The same thing will happen in the next General election when the list of potential BN candidates will pass from the hands of the state BN chieftain to the PM for consideration. Often times, it is UMNO which will ultimately decide the fate of those of the list even though the component party head honcho have their say at their levels.

After looking at all the candidates and their alternatives,the final say lies with the PM.

What is the scenario when the list of candidates are finally or supposedly firmed up?

There will be happiness in some group when their choice is selected. For other groups, which is the majority though not in concert,their unhappiness will be bitter.

The outcome-the group will either show lukewarm support of the party candidates while the chances of direct and indirect sabotage will start during the week after nomination.

I think UMNO and BN will face this problem because everyone will claim they are winnable candidates based on their own assessment and will feel slighted as their faith on the leadership start to erode.
