Sorry, this pic (from FB) is irrelevant, other than the Chinese costume.
Instead of Santa Claus (since Christmas is over), with the coming Chinese New Year and PM's generous handouts (BR1M 2 and so on), it would not be wrong to place him as Choy Sun Yeah to many Chinese and non-Chinese who are eligible.
It was obvious BR1M 1 was way too early for GE purposes (could have been meant for an earlier GE date which did not materialise), so BR1M 2 becomes necessary. As if this is not clear enough as unethical buying of votes, DPM had even confirmed that if BN wins again, it will be continued indefinitely!
The worst has yet to come as there were rumours of Rm5 million per opposition candidate (presumably winnable, especially with good track record) who is willing to cross over. Just imagine what money can buy, to ensure victory at a General Election. To think that only a small number is required to ensure simple majority, the price (though a big sum to an individual) is nothing to BN, with its big war chest.
Najib had proven he could pull it in Perak, he might be encouraged to do it again nationally. It is our duty to ensure such potential candidates are not tempted, as we have witnessed how those who did so were lambasted and vilified by the general public, and hope that was enough deterrent. But, as they say, everyone has a price and some are more open to persuasion. So the amount of inducement could make a difference. After all, to some, being a successful MP and Minister in a Pakatan federal government is not going to be a lucrative proposition, what with accountability and transparency as guiding principles.
