The writings are on the wall indicating the Pilihan Raya 13 is nearer by the day. Despite the calls by Tun Mahathir that the government should strengthen its base and regroup itself before it go to polls - in 2012 he says - the BN machinery is already at work.
While the roads are being resurfaced in most parts of Malaysia, the ASTRO Tv is already showing clips of PM Najib Tun Razak, claiming he is the father of 'perubahan' in the country with attempts to reach the people by the Internet and the supposed openness with which the PM is said to be running the country.
This has forced the opposition to take heed and to stop squabbling on seats in some states while they are still in jeopardy in other states (Kedah, Johor) for example and Penang where the DAP want to supposedly have a larger control of the state government in the next term.
Overall, there are more signs the government is heading for early polls. The concert 'Suara Kami' is also seen by some observers as a reason why the regime may be calling for polls soon. There is nothing better than the 'festive' mood feel in the country with the 16th September celebration of the Merdeka alongside the Malaysia Day and the 17th September concert as well as the one month long Hari Raya celebrated by Muslims.
The question is: Will Tun Mahathir's advice be discarded much to his chagrin by Najib Tun Razak who is weary that his popularity and the New PM feel is running out and wanning away?
The attempts by the Government to repeal or amend the ISA (Internal Security Act), the holding of a much spoken about 'open house' for raya at Permatang Pauh, Anwar Ibrahim's stronghold for more than 20 years, and tonight's possible declaration of more freedom to assembly and rally in the country by the PM, could be the next steps in the wake of the much publicized snap polls.
Nevertheless, the popularity of Najib has definitely taken a real dip as he is not much appreciated by the masses who are blaming his wife's excesses (this is according to opposition blogs and news sites).
According to an observer who spoke to this blog, Najib will have to hold the elections as soon as possible in order not to face a greater loss of popularity and support as time is not in his favor!
