Najib tells that he smelled a whiff of good feelings lately on his whirl-wind walkabouts through the nation, particularly in opposition held Selangor and Kedah. For him, this signifies that he can call the GE soon.
He thinks he has sewn the loose ends on the NFC imbroglio by getting UMNO Wanita to close ranks.
Also, he felt there is now sufficient support from the Indian community unlike back in 2008.
He also thinks he has come out with a better revised salary scheme for the civil service, after aborting the earlier 'silly' scheme.
However, just before he can feel confident to call for the GE, a few telling incidents have caused him some concerns again.
There seems to be no good time that he can call the election as the current term of Parliament will end in April next year.
Today, Hindraf showed its fangs by bringing a watermelon to demonstrate in Putrajaya. Apparently, the broken watermelon signifies that Najib has broken the nambikai or good faith and trust that the Indian community has given him.
Then The Deputy Minister of Education, Wee Ka Siong was almost mobbed and punched when he attended a Dong Zhao Zong function in Kajang condemning the government for inaction on the shortage of Chinese teachers.
To add sour cream atop the latte, CUEPACS now demands the government to announce who the members of the New Salary Revision Commission are by the end of March.
So, it looks like all is not well once again in the Chinese and Indian community as well as the civil service.
Should Najib then forget about an early election and live out the full term until April 2013?
