If you look at the 14th general election (GE14) from a ‘feng shui’ angle, you will understand that it is the most crucial GE for the country, thus far.

Yes, there will be at least four parties fighting to oust one party and they are Amanah, Bersatu, PKR and DAP to remove the ruling party, BN, in the next general election.

That means these four opposition parties should go fight BN with or without PAS. As it is the latter (PAS) had been trounced in the recent by-elections. That proves voters had rejected the party. So with or without PAS the effect is minimal.

Today, PAS is no longer a strong (relevant) party to be reckoned with.

In view of the above circumstances, PAS should calm down on ‘attack’ politicking against DAP and to stop being arrogant and complacent, and should kick-start working with DAP again along with other opposition parties as well, if they are sincere and honest to see a ‘change’ in governance in the country.

Exactly, it will still be a tough battle if each and every political party from the opposite divide chose to fight BN alone.

By the way, it is time to fight BN at its weakest time. especially when there are allegations of corruptions and scandals on money-laundering that are allegedly ‘linked’ to the party leader - though it has yet to be proven so.

Oh yes, what about the recent seizures of monies and gold items supposedly from two high-ranking officers (the Sabah Water Department director and his deputy) as reported in the news by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC)?

Well, these four opposition parties should join up as one coalition party to take full advantage of the current situations if they want to win big in the next GE.

Do it now. There won’t be another chance. To miss it is suicidal and, perhaps, would be the end of the opposition parties’ dream to change and to reform government policies or rule, et cetera, et cetera.

The priority is to win in the next GE first and the only way to do it is to put each other’s party agenda, challenges and policies behind.

Yes, win first talk later. It is not the right time to ‘fight’ each other.

In fact, by now all the opposition party leaders should know that they should not be arrogant nor complacent and never to ‘fight’ each other, because at the end of the day BN is the winner.

There you go. BN knows that infighting of opposition parties in past GE was an advantage and had benefitted the BN winning in the elections.

So, this is a notice to all opposition parties to not ‘fight’ it alone nor allow a three-cornered or four-cornered ‘fight’ in the next general election.

Furthermore, should there be anybody intending to register as an individual candidate to stand in the next GE, kindly reconsider the odds. You see, looking into past records it had shown that except one or two, rather almost all of them had lost in the elections, and the deposits forfeited.

So, do not be a spoiler. Let the big boys fight it out.

Let’s see a one-to-one fight of the ‘Titans’ in GE 14.
