Happy Birthday Malaysia! GE13 also on the cards?

So we are officially one now after 47 years. And as a birthday gift, are general elections on the cards soon to commemorate the momentous occasion and once and for all, and for all time, cement our relations with our brothers and sisters across the South China Seas?
Well, it would seem like a logical outcome. As Sarawak focuses on the upcoming state election, there are rumours that a snap 13th general election will be held simultaneously.
“There is a possibility that both elections will be held at the same time,” one commentator speculated on a web portal recently.
“It will be a master strategy for the Barisan Nasional leadership to have both elections at the same time as it will prevent Peninsular-based Pakatan Rakyat leaders from campaigning in Sarawak,” reported Free Malaysia Today.
National general elections would handicap Pakatan leaders, “keen on capturing Sarawak to provide a boost to their pursuit of Putrajaya,” as they will be confined to campaigning in their respective constituencies.
Commentator JK Jayan feels that Sarawak’s landscape and the short campaign period usually allocated for general elections, that Pakatan leaders from the peninsula would “dare not to waste precious time in Sarawak.”
“The Sibu by-election has taught some bitter lessons to the BN leadership. It revealed what will happen if key Pakatan leaders are allowed to campaign in Sarawak”, he feels.
But Sarawak BN faces a political conundrum. Whether to allow Chief Minister Taib Mahmud to lead the coalition?
“Sources familiar with Sarawak politics say that while Pakatan is heading into Sarawak with some confidence, BN is in a Catch-22 situation, saddled with problems and issues associated with Taib,” the report concludes.
If BN keeps Taib as chief minister, they will be facing a barrage of questions and criticisms from the opposition regarding the myriad allegations of corruption against him.
But if the BN drops Taib, they will be losing one of the most experienced and seasoned leaders in the history of Sarawak politics.
The coalition will then be faced with the unenviable task of naming a capable leader to lead the BN thrust in Sarawak.
“The BN will be torn between naming a Melanau Malay or a Dayak as the next chief minister and Sarawak BN leader.”
But by naming a Dayak, the BN will be able to drastically change the current political situation in Sarawak by “soothing the feelings of the community and knocking out a key political strategy mooted by the Pakatan leadership – to name a Dayak leader as chief minister in the event they win the state election.”
But the odds of carrying out simultaneous elections at the Federal level with Sarawak seem a little remote.
Detractors feel that too many thorny issues have cropped up in too short a time in the very recent past.
Perhaps, the biggest thorn, is the Perkasa issue and the apparent divisiveness it has created among Umno members and the subsequent fall out with the coalition partners.
And not forgetting the PKFZ scandal and the arrest of some very big wigs, the impending GST will hit hard the voters pocket and just might tip the scales against the ruling coalition in the event of a snap GE 13.
Added to this are the Felda cases that have gone against the federal government – and the BN needs the support of these settlers badly in a crunch battle.
Also the cost of financing a general election is no walk in the park and would bleed depleting coffers.
But as Shakespeare says in Hamlet, “thrift” may be the reason for holding simultaneous elections. When asked why his mother married his uncle so soon after his father’s death, he replies that they saved money by using the leftover meats from the funeral for the wedding banquet.
Would a prudent and astute politician call for a general election with so many negatives factors in the air?
Unlikely. But then, stranger things have occurred during trying times.
