I refer to the Malaysiakini report Fong quits Batu Gajah .

It is regrettable and totally infuriating that there are always those who place their personal ambition above those of the community’s - these are the traitors to their own people. This is the only time when there is a chink of opportunity for the Chinese and Indians to join with the sufficiently strong Malay opposition led by keadilan and this is the time when every vote counts. This is the time when it is possible for the opposition to take government.

The opposition - for the first time in 50 years - has all the qualifications to form government. For the first time in all of 50 years, there is a viable Malay opposition and a united front of PAS, Keadialn and DAP. We have Anwar Ibrahim as the prime minister in waiting and there is a likely deputy in the leader of PAS.

The opposition, as I said earlier, is well placed to form government if they can win and in the prevailing climate, I am convinced that the opposition can win. Having said that, I can see that the opposition is lacking in one very important psychological factor, and that is their mind set which has so far failed to project the image of a winner.

Change that image! Walk the talk, believe that you are the winner. I call on the opposition to project victory - why do you shy from a positive image?

This united front now needs to have a supremo to impose his will on those who are overly ambitious and now I read that in the Batu Gajah constituency, the incumbent has quit. This is a weakness of the coalition in that, no one is in charge.

The leadership of the DAP must impose their will on those who only seek advancement of their own ambition. I say to the leaders of DAP to wrest total control and kick out the trouble-makers. Persuade the incumbent Fong to remain so that you will not lose the seat of Batu Gajah to the BN.

There is no ‘if’ or ‘but’; Fong is the incumbent and unless there is evidence that she will lose the seat to BN, there is no reason to let her go and have another to take her place. We need all the victories that we can get so why lose Fong ? This makes no sense.

Dissension will cost DAP their Batu Gajah seat and to remedy this idiotic mind-set, I call on the leadership of DAP to do the wisest thing. An incumbent is 75 percent of victory.

In politics, you do not have to like Fong, you only need to admit to the truth and that is she is the incumbent and that says it all. Kick out the other trouble-makers.
