Whether or not there’s wisdom in the old political adage that ‘oppositions don’t win elections; governments lose them’, Umno/BN seems on a mission to make it come true.

It is blatantly waging a campaign for an election it hasn’t dared call yet, and seemingly hell-bent on alienating as many Malaysians as possible by the time it has no choice but to face their wrath at the polls.

Not that the regime is aware of the dreadful damage it’s doing itself, or likely to wake up to itself any time soon.
