Don’t let the fear what will happen to Johor under BN, if you are voting for them or because you abstained from voting, BN won because of the lower turnout, drives how you vote,
Ultimately, deciding whether to switch support to rival parties or remain loyal to a specific party depends on an individual voter's priorities, values, and assessment of which political option best serves you.
If things don’t go your way in the next 5 years hereafter, you can still revert and switch support again or not vote at all.
This is your right as a voter in a democratic system.
Political parties rely on you i.e voter support to hold power.
When voters switch their support to rivals, it sends a clear signal to the leadership of the political parties or coalition that they must address public grievances or risk losing elections permanently.
BN has been governing the state for more than 60 years except for that short blip in 2018 where PH was governing based on a voters’ mandate only for it cut short due to some political manoeuvring by BN.
Even though BN did seek a fresh mandate and won with a majority in 2022, the memory of Feb 2020 where PH’s term ended prematurely still rankles.
Now compare that 22 months where PH was governing the state against the 60+ years and 3+ years of BN governance from 2022 to the present.
Was your dissatisfaction solely due to the development and economic activity in Johor only or the overall development and economic activity in Malaysia as a whole?
If it is the later i.e the overall development and economic activity in Malaysia as a whole, do remember BN is also part of the Madani government.
For good or bad, BN is also responsible for whatever happened or is happening in the country.
BN can’t excuse themselves and said they are just riding as passenger in the Madani government.
If BN disagreed with any of the actions or initiatives made by the Madani government in the past 3 years, BN representatives in the Madani government should have voiced it out and objects to it.
The fact that all the actions or initiatives including those that you are disappointed and unhappy with were carried or not carried out are done and implemented.
And it was all done and implemented with the knowledge and agreement of everyone in the Madani government and that includes both BN and PH.
To solely blame the shortcomings of the Madani government on PH and DAP is shortsighted.
Both are equally to blame.
It is who is of a lesser evil.
Even their respective manifesto is a mirror of each other.
And if you do intend to come out and vote, vote the lesser evil amongst these 2.
