 A two party system in the making
Pru 13 opens up a new opportunity for a two party system in Malaysia. Fifty years of protracted and fragmented political survival of colonial political legacy is continuously transforming is inevitable and unstoppable.The wind of change is blowing strongly towards that direction. Five post Independence Malaysian Prime Ministers did not make sincere and serious effort to create an opportunity to establish a two party system for Malaysia for reasons best know to themselves.Although the sixth Prime Minster is attempting an economic and political transformation through One Malaysia Concept, a two party system is deliberately left in abeyance from the agenda.Until and unless these inherent racially divisive political elements are diagonoised to suit the need of changing environment this country will be left behind in term of political reform to achieve a two party system of Government internationally practiced in Developed Democracies of the West.Malaysia has only eight more years to achieve its target to be a developed nation.Can it achieve the target status with in such limited time? Time will be the best judge. Essentially One Malaysia Concept should have distinctly spell out the idea of drastic political transformation through abolishing the current ethnically divisive existence of parties with in BN and Pakatan.Initlally the Government should allow and approve Pakatan coalition as a legally registered opposition on similar status as BN.This transformation will slowly pave the way for a two party system in Malaysia. The government recent move to allow peaceful assembly especially on the eve of Datuk Seri Anuar Ibrahim famous court verdict on the 9th January,2012 should be followed thorough immediately to grant the approval for Pakatan to be recognized as a legally registered institution.This immediate move by the Government will definitely improve the Government transparency image to establish political justice and equality for Malaysian voters to make political choice in all future elections.Thus a two party system will be borne during the transformation program of PM Dato Seri Najib era which can be considered as an early sign of political maturity,achievement and success for the current administration. Now that Annuar Ibrahim is declared innocence by the Malaysian Judiciary explicitly justifying our country's independence judicial system. An extra goodwill will gesture to give the opposition legal status through Paakatan nomenclature dose not necessarily impair the BN chance of winning in this coming PRU 13.Indeed such gesture will provide credible appeals for political professionalism to be embedded into a new system where the Government and the op[position will be fighting on a level playing field.This is the urgent transformation which should be addressed by our Prime Minister. by DSJ 11.35 10/1/1212/
