It takes time to roll out

I know that some of DAP fellows are feeling disappointed about Keadilan friends’ “last-minute-tayang-muka” attitude in Machap by-election, but I really hope that DAP can show the gentleman manner by joining Keadilan’s election campaign in Ijok as early as possible.

DAP won’t lose anything by giving Keadilan a hand in the upcoming Ijok by-election. Instead, since the Ijok by-election will once again draw the attention of the whole nation, it is yet another golden opportunity for DAP newbies to get publicity via both mainstream media and online news portal.

I hope that DAP should perceive its relationship and coordination with Keadilan from a broader perspective.

Politics sometimes is quite similar with business. To draw an analogy, you could only increase one to two new customers by offering your best service, but once you give any one of your customers bad impression, he could cause you to lose ten old customers.

Actually, BN didn’t gain much benefit from its winning in Machap by-election. In fact, from my point of view, I think they are draw on their future electoral resources. Not that the Machap people do not angry with the current deficiency of BN’s governance, but it takes more than 9 days for the issues raised by the opposition (like Nxxxx’s scandal) to roll out. The opposition’s propaganda might not efficiently reach to Machap’s people, but don’t underestimate the effect of opposition’s propaganda to the people all around the country.

What you didn’t see and do not see do not mean that opposition’s efforts never affect people’s mindset.
