Wining the heart and mind of the
people politically is immaterial; instead the vote is the ultimate goal as democracy is nothing but a device.
Inevitably, those who have better political
skills are going to have the ruling power. Although political power is nearly
almost depend on the fair economic distribution whereas another school of
thought, instead claimed that the main determinants of political power are the
political and psychological factors.
In layman's terms, it’s just simply means that the
ruling government must has some intelligence, political skill and fighting
skill to mass on top of the coherent to organize itself to win political power.
Technically speaking, there cannot
be an election, which everybody participates in making every-day political
decisions because our modern society today has been characterized
by generation Y.
The disappointment in politician caused the
generation Y mostly very non-partisan in politics and lack
of political attachment. The generation seems neither center on any party
political philosophy nor stuck to any political side and misguided agendas, the
impact and the degree resulted are to avoid it.
Ironically, the measure which ruling
party used to ensure its political power is indoctrination of ideology. It is
obliged to control the dissemination of information and education to prevent
the voters from thinking dangerous thought. The voters usually do not
spontaneously generate the ideologies, which lead them to accept their lot.
As moving forward for transformation,
there will always be a competition between political parties to gain the power
because ruling party can be replaced by another in the election. Undeniably,
the ruling party does serve its own interests but it also put an effort to
solve the conflict and to make compromises because its goal is to win the
popular vote in society to maintain its power.
The second round of Bantuan Rakyat
1Malaysia (BR1M 2.0) is expected to cover some 2.7 million singles; it’s merely
an election sweetener or otherwise, but BN seems to have taken up the political
role and the platform to be politically viable move although the great win for
BN has yet to be seen.
Deputy Finance Minister Donald Lim
said the second round of Bantuan Rakyat 1Malaysia (BR1M 2.0) is expected to
cover some 2.7 million singles, who for the first time are covered under the
one-off financial aid programme.
“But
household will get the usual RM500 while singles will only get RM250, their
salary must be below RM2,000,”.
As
for household recipients, Lim said they are also expected to increase by 10 percent
from this year’s 4.35 million.
However,
he said this time, the BR1M assistance will only be distributed next year.
“Because
it is for the 2013 budget, you know if we distribute it earlier (like last
year) then the other side (opposition) will make noise,” he said.
