BN will need time to disburse the goodies promised in the Budget 2013 to target groups in order to generate a feel good factor.
Following Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak’s tabling of Budget 2013, analysts predicted that the 13th general election will be called after next February.
Independent pollster Ibrahim Suffian said the polls would likely take place after the Chinese New Year in February as the government would only start disbursing the goodies in January.
Referring to the Bantuan Rakyat 1 Malaysia (BR1M) 2.0 scheme, he said it would take time for the government to disburse the cash to some 4.7 million eligible households and to some three million eligible singles.
He described the handouts as “very comprehensive” since the lower-income households with two children in school would be entitled to at least RM700 under BR1M and student voucher programmes.
However, Ibrahim doubted if the handouts could translate into ballots for the ruling party as many benefitting from the handouts might not be registered voters.
“There are those who are registered and those who are not registered. At the end of the day, it is not sure whether the RM250 recipients will go out to vote,” he said.
Ibrahim also said that the goodies would have minimal effect on urban voters.
‘Handouts may backfire’
Independent political analyst Wong Chin Huat also agreed with Ibrahim that the polls would be called after February.
He however warned that the handouts might backfire on BN, especially with voters who understand the current state of Malaysia’s economy.

There are many method to be more nicer to the people, and BN choose they own ways to make sure that the people keep on supporting them and in the same time, BN delivers whats exactly the people want/needs.

ReplyDeleteNajib tak buat teka teki, tapi mereka yang suka meramal menjadikan ia teka teki.
Deletetunggu saja pengumuman rasmi mengenai PRU.
ReplyDeletesudah banyak ramalan yang kita dengar..lebih baik tunggu sajalah.
ReplyDeleteThe 13th general election will be held depending on the success of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak infulfilling his promises to the peopl. Najib wanted the people to enjoy the benefits from the transformation programmes implemented by thegovernment. This observation was made by Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) School of Social, Development and Environment chairman, Assoc Prof Dr Fuad Mohd Jali.
ReplyDeleteI concur with the findings of Assoc Prof Dr Fuad Mohd Jali.Najib wants to ensure 2/3 majority win for Barisan Nasional (BN). He also wants to ensure that all promises, such as going to the ground to meet
the people, are fulfilled.
In Contrast, an a question whether the Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim would make an impact in the 13th general election, Dr Fuad said a candidate must not corrupt, but instead should have a good personality and moral values.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, Assoc Prof Dr Rohana Yusof from Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) said a recent survey showed that 70 per cent of 10,800 respondents in Kedah had no confidence in Anwar''s leadership.They prefer to focus on issues that will benefit them and their future as compared to issues raised by Anwar, which are deemed outdated, fabricated and no longer have any impact.
I believe these are the criteria that have vital roles, but they depend on how the people see the candidate. The people Make up their mind regarding the question of corrupt public figures which will have an impact on the candidate of their choice for the coming election.
belum tau lagi bila PRU akan diadakan walaupun plbagai ramalan dibuat.
ReplyDeleteramalan hanya buat ramai orang panik
DeleteTempoh kerajaan memerintah sehingga tahun depan, jadi tunggu saja pengumuman.
ReplyDeleteAnnouncing the Barisan Nasional (BN) candidates much earlier, before the 13th General Election, will allow the leadership to address dissatisfaction among those not selected.

ReplyDeleteThose who have not been re-nominated should also be informed earlier to save them from embarrassment, said Puteri Umno Malaysia Chief, Datuk Rosnah Abdul Rashid Shirlin.
"The clearest evidence that we can see is when some leaders who are at the end of the political career disregard the people for their personal interest to jump to another party with the hope that it will be able to sustain their career. Their action is really disappointing to us who believe in the BN struggle," she said.
