Where is BN heading after GE2008 ?

3.8 had left a deep scar into BN. 3 weeks after 3.8, we see that PR has moved on to setup government and composing themselves to grow bigger, via a new coalition called Pakatan Rakyat. If there is no ship jumping, there is hardly any dramatic episode expected from PR, except to expect more policies that are aimed to improve the nasib of the rakyat.

Now, MD switch channel to watch BN, it seems more interesting on this side. BN consists of so many parties, but until now , no leader in single party has actually step down, as sign of accountability for the lost. In UMNO, the voices to call AAB to step down has grown louder, and more public. Many leaders are forced to make stands, many that still sit on the wall would later find themselves losing popularity, with that, very soon, we will see the formation of camp to pro AAB and camp to ask him to step down.

On MCA, many has claimed that OKT try to set up Ong'dynasty. Again, 2 camps is expected, but i would say MCA would not be that exciting as UMNO, as who care about MCA now, the lost in GE2008 only marks Chinese no longer supporting them. As far as MD concern, MCA would need a new presiden, OKT has lost due to his low tone. MCA has an image of only knows how to kow-tow when pressured to. So MCA need a total revamp in order to at least bring up interest from the public to start to look at it from a worthy point. As long as OKT still there, there is nothing interesting there.

MIC pula, it is irrelevent now, as Samy Vellu still there, playing cheap politics , talam dua muka.

It will take at least a year from now before we can see a new direction from BN, as they need to go through party election towards the end of the year to re-select leader, and to allow the leaders to start strategize on the drawing board, hoping to regain support.

BUT, can they beat PR ? If BN is still consist of raced-based party ?
