Updated: A real manifesto by Syed Akbar Ali
It tickles when the Pakatan's formal response to Najib's manifesto is: "They copied ours!" It is childish to claim intellectual property rights over lower car prices. Back in 1993 when Afta was new, the leaders of Asean agreed on a long-term program to integrate the auto industry. Ten years on, experts maintained that Proton and Perodua notwithstanding, imported CKDs in Malaysia were going to be 30-50% cheaper due to the long-term proposed tariff reductions. So who are they trying to kid?

| The launch of a manifesto |
1 million quality, affordable homes. If the General Election is decided by the better manifesto, Pakatan Rakyat doesn't stand half a chance. The Pakatan manifesto was launched hastily and way too early in the game. The BN manifesto launched tonight by Najib Razak is not perfect but it is wholesome without having to be populist. It helps that the PM's track record during the last 4 short years has been a very impressive one. Despite inheriting all kinds of weaknesses from his predecessor and amid one of the longest smear campaigns in local politics, Najib has achieved much for his party and for the people. And yet this man stood there in front of thousands at the stadium and millions at home seeking our forgiveness for whatever shortcomings for he said there surely must have been some, at least, for he is only human.
What I like most about the manifesto, aside from the focus on putting a solid roof above our children, is the fact that Najib didn't dwell too much on the politics of it. Enough is enough.
Oh, okay, he did wonder aloud as to why all but two of the pioneers of the party that was formed by the Opposition leader a little over a decade ago have abandoned that party ... And it makes a lot of us wonder, too.

The Opposition is going to lose big whichever you throw the dice. The BN as led by the UMNO with the 14 component parties will win a landslide victory. The DAP least deserves the vote from any Malaysian !
ReplyDeleteA good manifesto. I hope the BN lives up to it if they win.
ReplyDeleteDear Rocky,
ReplyDeleteI still vividly remember the events took place here at your very own blog five years ago, 2008. Not the exact month, but around the time we were getting near to 12th GE.
The atmosphere was totally different. The regularly commentators played along with your ballgame, going against Abdullah Badawi's administration and certain rotten UMNO politicians.
What is happening now Rocky, has the tide turned? Hardly voices of hatred and anger are found here. Have they run away since you are singing the same tune with BN? Or probably those voices have been satisfied and silenced by the latest political development?
It it were the latter, BN stands a better chance. Perhaps there is another possibility, silent majority will send BN to grave for eternity.
Dulu aku tak suka pak la. Dulu aku pengundi senyap ya tidal mengundi.sekarang aku tidal senyap lagi. Kali INI aku pastikan bin akan dapat undi aku!
DeleteI share the same sentiment as Rocky. GE12 was the time majority of the voters were fed up with the sleepy pm and his SIL antics coupled with the arrogant attitude of the BNs leaders at almost all levels be it in MCA, MIC, UMNO and the rest.
DeleteSo majority of the fence sitters gave their votes to PR. Today after 5 years controlling 5 states the PR goons starts behaving very arrogant, big headed, insincere, lack of transparency, corruption disguised in corporate structure, dispose off state assets to cover admin coats, manipulative of party votes, create unneccesary racial tensions and suspicions, lack credibilty and worst of all lack of integrity. I can go on and list down more its just pointless......every right thinking person knows what PR is good for NOTHiNG only.
Anwar+Wife+Daughter, Kit Siang+Son, NikAziz, Hadi, Guan Eng+Wife, Karpal+Sons etc, what have these goons contribute to nation building?.
It's time to bury ALL these PR goons & co come this GE13.
-justme
2008 was protest votes against BN.
DeleteThe tide will turn against Pakatan for 2013.
Transformasi will definitely prevail.
Reformasi will go to the grave.
MIDDLE CLASS.
Ehh! Lima Hari lagi nak pilihanraya baru nak janji semua ni!?
ReplyDeleteJanji Apa ni?
JANJI MAJNUN!!
BUKAN JANJI DITEPATI TETAPI JANJI DESPERADO!!
AntiDesperado
Daripada manifesto bukan kanji. Hid up bn!
DeleteDont see anything on illegal immigrants and foreign workers who overstayed their visas and making their own little kampungs. The situation is chronic but they don't seem to think it needs attention!
ReplyDeletesome ideas were stolen from Pakatan's manifesto? really?
ReplyDeletei thought a Pengencing Rakyat leader once arrogantly said MANIFESTO BUKAN JANJI bla bla bla..
so it seems that the term 'manifesto' does not exist to pengencing Rakyat. so was nothing stolen i guess..
hahahahaha
oh ya.. since MANIFESTO BUKAN JANJI as mentioned by Pengencing Rakyat.
ReplyDeletewhy dont you all CHANGE? UBAH sikit style..UBAH ...CHANGE!!!
DONT BOTHER TO SAY A WORD ABOUT MANIFESTO ANYMORE. just go to poll without any manifesto. is it okay for you all Pengencing Rakyat? this is 'change' maaaa..lain daripada yang lain maaaaa...
ada manifesto takdak manifesto pun sama saja maaaaa..so better pegi kempen dan undi tanpa manifesto laaa..logik maaaa....
hahahahahha
Muka Pecah Tanah 11.46pm
ReplyDeletestolen from Pakatan ? really ? is that all you can do ? come here and accuse Barisan without providing the facts. oh I forgot. that's all Pakatan people do. accuse people this and that. when confronted by people to provide the facts to back up your arguments, you go missing.
He did not promise to undo the injustices done for the past 50 years.
ReplyDeleteSee the difference?
The pledges are just another layer on top of the existing injustices which he does not want to address.
Fighting corruption is one. The buggers who are now corrupt will be left alone. The so-called corruption fight will be applied on the ones who commit it after the manifesto launch?
A minister in charge of non-Muslim matters? What can that bugger un-do?

Banyak tu janji, cukup duit ke nak buat ni.
ReplyDeleteSocial exposure intensity DS Najib was extremely high, the highest of the year during BN Manifesto. It means a successful awareness, good job !
ReplyDeletehttp://www.malaysiaindicator.com
Let's give Najib and his team to finish the job. He has done a magnificent job in the last four years, despite all the spanners thrown at him along the way.
ReplyDeleteIn contrast, the Pakatan states have not shown any progress, apart from Kelantan which is trying hard to go back to the stone age. Kelantan has achieved a lot, after decades of trying. They are now almost half way through, at least at the jurrasic stage.
Kedah? No point even talking about it. They are competing with Kelantan to see who gets to the stone age first.
Selangor is next in the running. They are trying to disrupt progress but are stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea, because they got distracted by the Ubat Kuat phenomena.
Penang is a different story altogether. They are trying to fly before learning to walk.
So, before going any further, let's give Najib another try.
Anwar's too busy trying to be a lawyer, getting in and out of courts as part of his hands on practical training, through his mentor, Karpal dan anak anak.
A GOOD MAN DOES NOTHING.
Barisan Nasional- Janji Ditepati
ReplyDeletePakatan Rakyat - Manifesto tidak
semestinya janji(Then why on earth
you came out with one?)
Wow, whatever i read abt this being the most hard-fought GE ever must be right.
ReplyDeleteEven i (usually placid and quite indifferent to politics) find myself actually READING a political manifesto.
What's there not to like in the BN manifesto? Pinning my hope on the housing thing.
ajoi
I just got back from the future. Clean sweeps for BN.
ReplyDelete* The future looks so bright. I need to wear shades.
betoi ke ni Rocky ?? ataupon hanya janji-janji capati !!
ReplyDeleteAt last, Najib has made it personal, identified himself with BN. Even though it is very obvious all this while, but the ads/marketing chaps of BN have not taken that selling point to the voters. Guess BN relied heavily on the media people.Suspect that Media Prima is the mastermind and political strategist in this election campaign. Their press ads, billboards are similar in approach with that of the Janji Ditepati campaign. ALL WORDS, LENGTHY, NOT FOCUSED, FULL OF INFORMATIONS (THE JOB OF JOURNALISTS) BUT DEVOID OF THE POLITICAL SOUL AND BRANDING IMAGE. BN's icon, the winning foumula, is Najib himself!! Let his smiling face sells that TRANSFORMASI message. Najib is the BN brand!! Najib is the selling point!! Come on Media Prima,...look around at all the Election Campaigns around the world!! Anuar has copied Erdogan's ads blitz. Remember how the Conservative Party ridiculed Blair as the devil with red coloured eyes!! Obama capitalised on his personal image!!Similarly with Putin. In any campaign its the image of the leader that becomes the soul that the voters can easily relate and accept!! Unfortunately, Media Prima prefers graphics,photo-mixed, informative words and descriptions to sell BN!!Limit yourself to newspapers to tell the story. Let Najib sells his winning formula!!
ReplyDeleteManifesto for bankrupting country. Won't last more than 2 years. Ringgit goes down the drain.
ReplyDeleteBut Najib overlooks to tell or promises the people how many years it will take him to build the one million houses. Let him tell the people how long it will take him to build the one million houses and best of all, where they will be built ? A promise that will take him more than 100 years when Malaysia will import another 200 million foreigners, will the one million houses be enough then ? One thing for sure he knows who he was making the promises to. Also do you know how long it will take to build the one million houses ? Najib knows he will not be around to see the completion of even a fraction of that being built. Again it is an empty promise and only fools like you will dare even out to repeat it !
ReplyDeleteSo what we get from Pakatan Manifesto? let see....
ReplyDeleteDAP?
after 5 years, soooo many la.......in fact UNACCOUNTABLE!!!!
just remember this, Tokong is an accountant by profession.
PAS?
after 22 years, Heaven and dirty water.
PKR?
after 5 years, Road tarmac patchwork chess board type and no water.
overall summary;
After given the mandate and chance, (remember the pakatan goon pledge to give a chance?) so many to add in, malas la, you figure it out....
Rocky,
ReplyDeleteDo you agree with BN manifesto aired in all tv channels last night?
Pakatan manifesto never get any live airtime.
How does this count in FREE & FAIR elections?
many ideas shamelessly lifted from pakatan's manifesto.
If pakatan manifesto can bankrupt the nation how about BN's?
Waiting for answer from you!
"tepuk dada tanya selera"
why was this not implemented before?
ReplyDeleteI would rather give chance to Pakatan than BN. Aleast I dont choose the devils..
ReplyDeleteBerita gempar ............
ReplyDeletePerkembangan terkini drp pejabat PKR.
Berdasarkan maklumat intelligence, Melaka akan jatuh ke tangan PR. Oleh itu keputusan sepakat telah dibuat bahawa Anwar akan menjadi KM Melaka, dan demi memenuhi cita2 tersebut Anwar akan bertanding di DUN Bukit Cina Doll ....... opssss
Bro .
ReplyDeleteLet vote Pakatan into power,you will see how Panic Tun Mahathir and all corrupted minister to run for cover.
The more BN spend the money,the mre they pocket the commision.
Dont be fool
JUST REMEMBER THIS
ReplyDeleteUNDI PAS = UNDI DAP
U ULANG I SAMAN..
AGREE TO DISAGREE?
MMMUAHAHAHAHAHAHA
WHAT ELSE DO YOU EXPECT FROM THEM?
Last time we gave them few states to govern..PR did not bad..non of the states went bankrupt even without the help of the federal government. No help never,kind..the federal government tried to sabotage them also.This time we vote in PR for federal and then we can really see how good they are..no harm giving them 5 years to show their capabilities..besides..how can non Malays vote for BN when they are questioning our citizenship that was agreed when we get independence..can never bring myself to vote BN after this remark..will rather have an Islamic state under PAS then have Umno rule.
ReplyDeleteLMAOROTF
Felicitations to DS Najib for the best ever Manifesto. Yep, it is more a pledge for the people's good.
ReplyDeleteWe are happy that it encompassed our needs and wants.
No worries, Mr PM you are on your way.With a pledge like this, how can BN fail.
I like your ultimatum - Me or Anwar. Of course YOU with a resonant voice shared by millions.
Does that other person count in the first place?
We'll teach him a lesson on voting day.
I suggest the readers who say the BN manifesto is not copied from PR read the PR manifesto themselves Today many FB pages are flooded with people ridiculing the copy paste,photocopy aspects of the manifesto Even Mr Bean has been roped in
ReplyDeleteThe funniest is a screen shot of Najib speaking and below the screen was the title of the TV show supposed to be on - "Lie to Me" ha ha
No need for long articles in blogs like Rocky which nobody reads With with FB the message goes out to so many and so fast There was commentator Tok Ayoh Pa asking where have the readers gone They are on FB & Twitter

Mai sini dah dibelai dengan manja dibawah jagaan BN selama 50taun, high time learn to be grateful.
PERWIRA
Extract of article from FMT-
ReplyDelete"Meanwhile in KUALA LUMPUR, PAS too hit out at Najib and BN for copying at least nine issues from the Pakatan manifesto.
PAS secretary-general Mustafa Ali told a press conference today that among them was the BN promise to continue special cash payments and development and operational funding exceeding 20% of oil and gas revenue to Sabah, Sarawak, Terengganu, Kelantan and Pahang.
Mustafa said this was in spirit what was promised by Pakatan, that is to increase the oil royalty from 5% to 20% to these oil producing states.
“BN may have used different words but in principle, the policy is the same as that is being promised by Pakatan,” he said, as quoted by Harakah Daily."
At a crossroad in my neighborhood, in Selangor, PAS has put up a banner;
ReplyDelete"WI-FI Percuma. Orang ramai boleh berhubung-jenis".
The 'jenis' word is mine, though.
With the Mat Sapu Bini Orang menace, I do not think it's a good idea, if internet charges is totally free. It will only encourage infidelity, especially with the Facebook and twitter craze public. Remember that PKR guy in Sg.Petani, playing with his dick in-front of his FB account and making a video of himself doing it?
I think it's better if they can make a promise to bring-down, at least 50% of the current internet charges in Malaysia.
RD.
Anon insists BN manifesto is copied from Pakatan manifesto. Hehe.
ReplyDeleteHehe.
Hehehe.
Gua nak tergolek ketawa.
Question;
ReplyDeletesome ideas were stolen from Pakatan's manifesto?
answer;
did PR implement it? the answer is a absolutely NOOOOO!!! (unless u are PR goon with denial syndrome mentality)
a typical No Action Talk Only PR.
PR meaning is = Public Relation only or Some people knew them as Pakatan Rakyat.
Question;
`Pakatan manifesto never get any live airtime.'
Answer;
how about ASTRO, the Internet for example MI,MK,MC,FMT and hundred others...? the local chinese media press? Zionist friendly connection international press?
but above all the most vicious, this triple fork tounge of all cause they had done it during previous election and now they do it again,
ladies and jantanmen let me introduce to you............THE STAR wholly owned by MCA!
Malaysian don't really read or understand what was revealed in party manifesto, let alone believe in it. To many of them all politicians are liars and they all vote based on their heart and not based on their head.
ReplyDeleteI am a petrol head. I will most likely give my vote to any party than can convince me that I will be able to afford commute from my home in Seremban to my office in Bukit Bintang in a current model of a Mercedes Benz, all with my four figure monthly salary.
I am looking forward to cheap imported cars, cheap gas, toll free road and a token sum for road tax and insurance.
Never mind that the normal 40 minutes journey will take 4 hours as the road will be choked full of satisfied votes like me.
Oh, the various potholes and stinking toilets at the rest areas are just small inconveniences.
Manifesto for bankrupting country. Won't last more than 2 years. Ringgit goes down the drain.
ReplyDelete.......................
SOHAI! give ur justification la?
So Lan: go read some textbooks la on economics. Still need crutches ?
DeleteRocky,
ReplyDeleteDid u kick out some stupid commentators.?
Cos i dont see the regular rigmarole of buffoons of pakatoons commenting here with gengster sekolah language, born-again-christian condascending patronizing insinuations and sarcasms.
If you did mod them off, good job rocky.
They dont deserve your comment page.
Habis lah negara ini. Perompak bagi 500 tapi pemimpin2 perompak dapat beratus juta. Ingat tak PKFZ, Lembu dan condo, Scorpene.......
ReplyDeletePoor BN..they run out of idea until need to copy Pakatan manifesto.
ReplyDeleteEven not all were copied. Copy is still copy.
BN= Master of Plagarism
i am a 1st timer. My vote will go to BN.
ReplyDeletepakatan manifesto? plagiarism? manifesto bukan janji la woi..
ReplyDeletelu fikir kitorang xtahu ke? u all sengaja je dedah manitipu you all much earlier. then whenever bn kasi manifesto..you all just simply say it is plagiarism. hahaha.. manifesto for bn is janji ditepati whereas manifesto for pakatan goons is bukan janji. so? mana plagiatnya? hahaha
let's cut ALL the crap and focus on OWNERSHIP of Malaysia by Malaysians
ReplyDeletevote pakatan and buttman - rakyat will be slaves to soros the jew
everything else pales ...
a simple conclusion based on comments here
ReplyDeletepakatan voters = retarded
BN voters = intellectuals
All my friends OPENLY declared & decided they will only vote for pakatan.I cannot find anyone who will be voting for BN at all.
ReplyDeleteReason?
The "known devils" must go.
"Unknown Angels" deserve a chance to prove themselves.
I dont think BN can win with big margin ever again.Its going to be a close fight 50-50.
any party that wins will be a wafer slim majority government just like the Kelantan state government 2004-2008..wait for it!
All the manifesto thing from both side only to attract undecided voters.majority voters already decide who they will vote for. just waiting for the BOXING-DAY.
3:05,
ReplyDeletedon't worry about BN manifesto being televised on TV1-TV9, coz people no longer watching TV but they watching Youtube instead, don't U agree?
Even Israel is ever willing to bring down its arrogance and finally make a verbal apology to Turkish but here MB of PR prefer to go to court on issue of "manifesto is not promise" when by right PR supposed to be apologetic about it. Now do we think rakyat will trust them anymore? Good luck PR.
ReplyDeleteAnother sohai say...
ReplyDelete`A promise that will take him more than 100 years when Malaysia will import another 200 million foreigners, will the one million houses be enough then ?'
.................
you give tokong to do it, he use his saliva frothing mouth to sell it with a developer gang of underworld,thug and triad to built it.(what a better way to cleansed their money!)
Give it to Nik Aziz and let Ngeh and Ngok (no UM there) do the job, he just sprinkler it just like born again christo evangelist do.
Give it Anwar Ibrahim he will ATTACK (the latest news i heard la!) and back stabbed you!
so be careful with your statement SOHAI!
11:46 pm
ReplyDeletehow many % does ALL your frens make up huh?
a mere 2 % ... hahahahaha
"Unknown Angels" deserve a chance to prove themselves? - hullo they WERE given 5 years of golden chance
ReplyDeletethey turned out to be CONFIRMED GENUINE DEVILS (with the authentic chop from hell)
hahahahaha
Is there one million affordable housing in all of Malaysia now, after 56 years in the control of Umno ? Therefore clearly this is another empty promise of Najib or just another one of his pre election promises that will NEVER be realized !
ReplyDeleteanon 11:46pm
ReplyDeleteoh yeah? i bet you are a DAP racist. where is your place? ipoh timur? penang? hahahaha...no wonder..a truly DAP racist..no doubt about it..hahahaha
i think it is totally contradict at my place..all my friends OPENLY support BN..they voted for PR last GE but they told me they all regret for what they did.
now their votes are for BN..together with their whole family as well..
hmmm.. fyi, my place is a mixed constituency. just wait and see. it am almost sure BN will win here this time.
What's the fuss whether the manifesto is copied or otherwise. Most importantly, the people expect the promises to be delivered.
ReplyDeleteThe people has had enough with all talk and no actions. Its time we weed out those useless leaders who are only good at pointing fingers but has no clue whatsoever on how to move foward.
I hope BN fail to form government after election. Let them taste how it will be to be opposition.
ReplyDeleteThanks for BN "service" all this while. Now can retire
realising that they have failed to build houses for the Rakyat and knowingly that BN has never failed to build houses for ordinary folks, PR have no other choice but to include the rakyat's house in their manifesto! U think they are sincere about its implementation or just another rhetoric? U decide, Folks!
ReplyDeleteApa kisah tentang copy paste manifesto orang lain. PR goons should check the history first, mereka mungkin yang pertama tulis tapi BN mungkin yang pertama initiate the idea. Only thing mungkin BN lambat pen down the idea.
ReplyDeleteBTW kita hentikan seketika permainan kau tiru aku, aku tiru kau dan kita fokuskan kepada parti mana yang kita yakini untuk merealisasikan manifesto aka janji2 tersebut. Adakah JANJI TINGGAL JANJI aka JANJI MANISMU atau JANJI YANG DITEPATI?
Yang pasti saya akan memilih parti yang menepati janji dan nampaknya BN banyak menepati janji berbanding dengan PR yang boleh twist and turn MANIFESTO BUKAN JANJI dan macam2 lagi. The choice is yours and vote wisely.
anakbochek.
All these manifestos don't mean anything when BN conveniently ignore one last manifesto, "We, the BN, continue to steal, cheat and lie to the people of Malaysia with impugnity as we know no law, understand no law and we are above the law"
ReplyDeleteMata Kuching
Agreed that Selangor MB say Manifesto not promise.Agreed that many promises not kept.
ReplyDeleteHow about BN. How many promise from election manifesto 2008 already delivered. How about 2004 election manifesto?
I still remember during 2004 election the new premier at that time asking for mandate to wipe out corruption & to establish Independent Police commission through cemerlang, gemilang terbilang manifesto...what happened to that promise..
In 2008 the election manifesto is SELAMAT, aman & makmur or something like tat..what happened to that?
Can anybody tell what happened to all those promises? If PM changed no need to keep up promises is it?
without muka malu and shamelessly BN copied pakatan manifesto..
ReplyDeleteWhen pakatan say they will reduce car price all BN politician say Malaysia going to bankrupt..more cars on the street make more traffic jam and more accidents..bla bla bla.
Weeks later BN launched same thing in their copycat manifesto..I guess now Malaysia not going to bankrupt, traffic jam and accidents not going to increase, is it?
Nak tipu rakyat pun, konsisten sikitlah bro! Buat muka tak malu copy janji orang je..
I buy the original (PR) rather than the copy (BN)... LOL
ReplyDeleteBN can have all written or cast on stone but when comes to implementation it failed big time.. LOL
ReplyDeleteEvil for over 50 years. Time to bungkus.

ReplyDeleteSO YOU HAVE MANY RETARDS AS FRIENDS.
if pkr wins anwar will drop oil prices within 24 hours. but he dare say by how much! he failed as finance minister because he know nuts about econimics. so obviously pkr will not win and anwar will not be pm. but he and his supporters can carry on dreaming. ITU MINYAK DIA PUNYA BAPAK PUNYA???

ReplyDeletetalk about corruption? you want to know how corrupted anwar is? papa gomo has revealed all. your beloved mr clean is indeed the dirtiest.
Actually it is Outsyed The Box who raised the issue of car prices and the need to reduce them. And that happened long before the Pakatan manifesto were established. By right it is the opposition who are doing the plagiarism, not the other way round.
ReplyDeleteWhen Pas changed its target from Islamico Statehood to a Socialist Statehood, they actually try to follow Dap's footstep but they actually were caught unaware about an important and most recent facts: that Dap has becoming more Mca oriented than Mca!
ReplyDeleteUMNO / BN is not for sale - by Malaysians for Malaysians
ReplyDeletepakatan & buttman will auction Malaysian to the highest FOREIGN bidder - very likely a jew
I saw one of the comments talking about send mother to old folks home..
ReplyDeleteI hope commenters dont drag family members into conversation..after all we all malaysia..we respect others and surely everybody entitled to their own view.
Now, what was that about catching up with Singapore?
ReplyDeleteGiven what's been happening in Iskandar Malaysia, it appears that the government of the day has abandoned this objective.
So much for Dr M's ambitions of sidelining the city state and consigning it to the dustbins of history!
The BN manifesto, like the Oppo's, is long on hopes and promises and short on details.
Nothing surprising there. Long-term planning and sound execution of policies haven't exactly been the strengths of the federal and state governments from Merdeka to the present day.
Let's see how Malaysia fares in forthcoming international rankings and in attracting foreign investments.
Between Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia, Malaysia doesn't have a lot of "wiggle" room.
Let's not even talk about China and India!
But, no worries. I am sure that the BN will have plenty of excuses when desire outruns performance (and, no, I am not talking about sex videos here).
And that's something you can take to the bank.....
