星洲日报《纵目乾坤》第卅四篇
从开始对巫统与其领导的揭秘和严词批判，到最近一再的修改“口供”，RPK 拉惹柏特拉早已失去诚信，所说的一切已不再可靠！但吊诡的是我们看到舆论界一篇又一篇批评他“纠正”“供词”的文章，几乎都一面倒的倾向于相信他之前所说而怀疑他最近所言。
冷静分析，这无疑是一种在逻辑上推导出互相矛盾但表面上却又能自圆其说结论的悖论现象。
按常理，当一个人的诚信出现问题，他所发表的，至少所发出的对社会或他人足以造成影响的言论都已不足采信，但决定人们相信什么和不相信什么往往取决于主观情感情归何处，而这种悖论现象的出现，也正好同时反映了深层实相是人们对掌权者既定而根深蒂固的负面印象与对权威的怀疑。
政府和人民的关系与夫妻关系异曲同工，国阵执政五十余年，靠的是人民的支持，从爱你爱到非你莫属到需要多一个选择，这期间必然经历了一段情感上的挣扎，犹如夫妻从新婚情深不渝，到相处后或因恃宠生娇，或因陋习如洋葱片片掀开，到日积月累成了再也抹不去的成见，情感上不再有依附，越走越远，而最终变心或主观情感另有所系，过去种种的好已然忘却，留下的总是种种的坏。所以上一届大选期间民联推翻国阵所有建树的一句：“五十年你做了什么？”深深地打动人心，或至少打动了无数华人的心。
以华教问题为例，教师不足，学校桌椅不够，民怨深厚，教育部被责理所当然，但当收到某报短讯：“XXX独家：拜大选跫音所赐？槟州华小今年罕见的没面对师资短缺问题，教育局一早安排好代课老师给面对师资不足的学校。”时，这对近来被华小师资问题缠得焦头烂额的魏副部长来说除了啼笑皆非和苦笑，我实在想不到他还可以有什么其他感受。
得罪了全国，让全国华小为教师不足担心，却单单解决目前强风撼也撼不动的民联槟州的教师问题，如果这真是教育部为了助国阵赢得大选的“策略”，这个军师一定得送去打靶！
五十余年来，国阵真的什么都没做吗？这是一个让国阵愤愤不平但却总是越辩越不讨好的课题，因为这已不关乎你做了什么或做了多少，而是现在人民眼中充斥的是你做错的，你做不好的。这种主观情感的归属让你无论以实际行动展现了多少改革与转型的诚意，只要一有弊端再现，你所作的百样好事抵不过你或你的团队所犯下的一个错误，而这也就是为什么内阁改组消息甚嚣尘上的原因了，因为姑不论纳吉是否真有改组准备，但砍脚趾避沙虫，尽速摆脱负面影响，把人民目光导回政府转型良政已是大多舆论公认的方法了。
然而，不禁要问的是，华教师资不足问题存在多年，转型中的政府难道就没有把师资不足“转为”师资充足的能耐吗？是官员的小拿破仑心态，还是有其他原因呢？
转型的最大挑战来自于扭转成见，而阻挡扭转成见绩效的挑战则来自某些责任人士或单位的既定思维与阻扰，内忧外患是国阵目前的困境。
如果说拉惹柏特拉的转舵与失信是巫统或某方面政治上的反制策略，那可以肯定的，期待拉惹柏特拉的失信可以为巫统平反，无疑于妙想天开，充其量只能取得“砍掉”一名对自己带来巨大杀伤力文棍的成果。

Dear Mei Fun,RPK was extremely vocal and right in the front line to implicate PM and his wife for a case where he tried to be a hero, then he imposed self exile, interviewed by TV3, now by Utusan Malaysia, and eventually codemned Anwar whom he fought so hard for since 1999, today he declared that for a PM of Malaysia, Anwar is no longer suitable as he 'judged'. He had also gone further to condemn PR that Selangor State Government failed to be cleaner than before, but RPK had not provided details as how he arrived at such conclusion. I want to share with you what is going on the ground of SS4C which you had been seldom visiting since your defeat on 8/3/2008. I had been rather busy body to chat with those class F contractor who are reparing the drains around this residential area, I asked how they rate PR versus BN, they all thumbed up for PR and expressed great appreciations for the opportunities which they are having as compared to before. You tried very hard to serve the voters of SS4C/SS4D since you were elected in 1999, but you were not supported on 8/3/2008, then, you should have realized the tide against BN, and you are just washed away by so called Tsunami of Politics of Change in PRU 12. You stood up and resigend as you felt MCA led by CSL will not be tolerable by you as chief of MCA Wanita, you quit as you promised if CSL was elected as President of MCA, for this you won praise from us as ordinary Malaysians who appreciated you can at least keep your promise despite your other MCA leaders like Ong Tee Keat ate his own words, and resulted more messes by temporarily cooperated with CSL to tarnish MCA further. Government and Citizens are NOT like husband and wife, Government is elected and voted by citizens, husband is LOVED by wife and thus they become husband and wife. Government has to serve well, uphold justice and always ensure needs of citizens are well taken care of during the term of services, whereas, as a husband, he has to love, provide, protect, care and serve his wife for life!! Not for 5 years once the government has to seek another mandate from the citizens, whereas husband and wife is for LIFE once the vow of marriage is sworn!! As a husband and wife, there could be some quarrels at times, but husband will NOT leave his wife and sulk for years. Thus, as BN lost the government of Selangor, people like you had not been around to serve the residents since the defeat, it is NOT a husband and wife kind of relationship, it is purely of 'mutual interests', that is all for government and citizens as shown!The issue of insufficient of qualfied teachers for SJK (C) Schools has been more than half century, and BN continues to fail in this aspect, and today, the mess remains to cause hurts to the Chinese communities which MCA claims to champion the needs of Chinese communities, not even hope for MCA to ensure Rights of Chinese communities for the basic entitlements of fair opportunities to be educated as quota systems had been overly abused since it was implemented, MCA truly failed to convince the major partner of BN, UMNO to keep justice and fairness for all Malaysians, and instead, MCA leaders had been showing more shames, scandals after scandals, from Sex scandal to PKFZ with two prominent former MCA leaders chraged in the court, while UMNO wanita Chief whose family shamed the federal government as being exposed for NFC scandal, even Khir Toyo was lightly punished for a year jail term while a thief stolen a shampoo was sentenced for 3 years jail term!
You tell me is BN fair and just? The obvious weakness in developing new KLIA2 for cost doubled up from RM 2 Billions to RM 4 Billions and delayed for more than a year, now BN leaders were not accountable as Minister of Transport is a MCA leader and in fact he has NO power over the mega project like new KLIA2, MAB was entrusted to develop and cause messes, while MAB was so arrogant to blame ALL on AirAsia!! Is this just and Fair?RPK is truly no longer a respectable person despite he had helped very much in the past for PR to gain many in roads to upset several states which were governed by BN, RPK had now lost the respects from his recent actions, and his supporters are leaving him days by days, you are right that BN should have NOT tried to captialize RPK as Utusan reported this RPK's change of hearts, BN will be perceived as the cause for the change of heart of RPK for some hidden agenda and compromised interests. It will be better for BN and in particular UMNO to keep a good distance from RPK as RPK had condemend BN and UMNO so severely, and now such change of stance by RPK can be seen as betrayal and traitors are loathed by the public in general. To 'comfort' you, despite a change of State Government, MBPJ still fails to deliver a good service with regards to the infamous basketball court at SS4C/18 which you tried to help in 2007, the basketball court was recently hacked and re built under MBPJ Landscape and Recreation Department, but the quality of work remains as bad as before, that is cracks formed before it was used!! Thus, the crucial civil servcies are the main cause for many blames BN and PR are receiving, just as Dr Wee is facing today, for his promises are not honoured simply his subordinates who are the education officials fail to deliver the expectations and needs of SJK (C)!!!! I wrote you such long comment, I hope you will accept as constrcutive and remind you that if you want to come back to win the hearts of PJU voters, you have to work many times harder than before, as today, PJU voters are still very supportive of Mr Tony Pua, and if you are just blogging here without being present, surely if you wish to serve smartly and wisely, you can strategize to compete and not resorting to condemning others, good actions and constructive services will win hearts so long you also dare to state Right Up for controversies at the Right Moment!
