The battle for Galas-2

As soon as you get in to a Kelantan limit over kampung Merapoh in Kuala Lipis, a sights have been assaulted by waves of PAS banners as good as flags. The Kampung nearest a Pahang limit here is Kampung Mentara is patently a PAS stronghold. We immediately feel, judging from a volume of flags as good as banners, which this is PAS territory.
I had to palliate my friends who have been travelling with me. They have been in a habit of to a UMNO/BN way of handling by elections. This means, they have been some-more during palliate with a common overwhelming firepower kick-ass approach. They cite to see waves of party workers all over a country concentration upon a tiny locale like Gua Musang. Then you would be assaulted by a sight of UMNO workers in vests, with walky-talkies as good as alternative state of a art communications gadgetry, crisscrossing a turf with 4-wheel vehicles, a puteri UMNO troopers you do their rounds. It would be a boisterous event as good as intimidating during times.
People in UMNO have been some-more used to a big guy approach- dogmatic something in a little central functions attended by busloads of people all over a country (including some-more people who will not vote in which area) ministers coming in as good as starting out of managed functions, etc. so when you get in to an area, where a UMNO proceed is rsther than subdued, you get jittery. Can you win without firepower? These, you say have been so unUMNO.
So, when you get a feeling which UMNO proceed this time is rsther than subdued, you get thrown off balance. Perhaps this opposite proceed taken by UMNO Gua Musang this time is an intent lesson upon a opposite approach.
UMNO Gua Musang in particular, has many things to prove. If this rsther than pale character is effective, will it be a brand brand new pr! oceed UM NO takes in future? To some, there's no income in this soothing as good as pale approach. We can't get to use those Ninja Turtles (Toyota Land cruisers) anymore, you can't squeeze income from UMNO Perhubungan Negeri, as good as you can't direct to be treated as prima donnas.
Ada betul ke ini cara?
UMNO Gua Musang as good as in sold a head Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah have a event to teach UMNO upon a brand brand new character of campaigning as good as winning a hearts as good as minds of a people.
This opposite proceed is unnerving.
The brand brand new proceed which is additionally a thoughtfulness of a government committed to engaging a adults as genuine people seeks to honor a adults as thinking people. We residence people with genuine needs instead of digits. They have been no longer 11,500 electorate but 11,500 genuine people. So, you right away disentangle ourselves from a crass as good as crude methods of imposing a ideas upon people. We refrain from using violent denunciation which vilifies a opponents.
For here, in Gua Musang, where issues have been many non eventful, feat goes to a party which creates lessor mistakes in open relations. Hence when you hear, a antithesis parties have proposed starting upon a personal attacks offensive, you am thinking, they will lose.
Furthermore, you additionally know, sometimes which proceed does not always work. In a little places which highhanded methods creates antagonism as good as rancour between a locals. Just as in Galas for example. The infancy have already made up their minds. If you overdo things, especially if you try to be smart-alecs, you can only emanate disastrous impacts.
I do not think you can do much in a Pas building like Sungai Terah. Here a infancy will not nudge from fixation their temporal as good as devout stakes with PAS. you went to a Chinese village of Kampung Pulai. Previously you will not see a participation of PAS flag! s as goo d as banners here. Now, you see them. PAS appears to have made inroads there. A organisation of party activists substantially DAP volunteers were seen distributing leaflets. you asked for a little to review which they straightforwardly gave. The issues have been about a genocide of Teoh Beng Hock as good as a military shooting of a immature Amirul.
But you am not unduly worried. If a overwhelming firepower kick-ass proceed is not suitable to be employed by a BN as good as UMNO, it will additionally work a same way upon a antithesis parties. They might be able to secure a little Chinese votes. But for most, it's about internal issues.
We can't win people over with a common barrage of vicious as good as spiteful personal attacks as good as using sinister language. Even PAS has disowned this approach. So when a people resumed this conflict mode, it will price them votes. People will review theirs with a civil proceed taken by Tengku Razaleigh.
IN Kampung Sungai Terah for example, PAS as good as UMNO people get along very good each alternative refusing to allow domestic differences to divide them. A person's domestic welfare should be respected.
DUN Galas does not require a heavy artillery proceed as good as a assertive techniques which can be intimidating. Here, a opposite character of domestic campaigning as good as attack a stumps, which is right away becoming strong in Gua Musang as good as Galas. It's a square or porch campaigning style. A house is selected as good as tiny groups gather to listen to reasoned arguments. They have been done in a some-more composed as good as civil manner.
I think since of these reasons, a BN as good as UMNO tip leadership has delegated a first shortcoming of winning this Galas choosing to Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah.
How does Tengku Razaleigh understanding with Galas? you get a sense which he is starting about employing psywar techniques rsther than than open warfare scorch e! arth tak e no prisoners method. The genuine conflict is in a minds of people.
He has been servicing Gua Musang for 40 years. We only can't boot a stroke of a man. Gua Musang is not an easy place to cover. Some places have been easier reached by helicopters. Razaleigh Hamzah trafficked by car to remote places.
Galas is bigger than a state of Selangor as good as DUN Galas stretches from a limit during Kampung Merapuh right in to a core of Gua Musang town. For first timers, coming to a brand brand new domestic turf can be physically taxing. you listen to a female DAP lawmaker vomited while creation her way to Gua MUsang.
This opposite character is tiring since it involves a lot of legwork as good as deep grown work. You engage people mostly in tiny groups extolling a virtues of your party. There have been genuine as good as meaningful dialogues. And leg as good as deep grown work is tough as good as consistent work which is not compatible with a lightning blitzkrieg methods a UMNO choosing juggernaut is some-more in a habit of to. you listen to a little Perhubungan Negeri cancelled hotel bookings as Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah said it isn't required to send overwhelming cavalry troops.
To win this choosing in Galas, requires a lot of legwork as good as a status quo of a long distance runner. That is because you think, a strategy employed by Ku LI appears to have in effect headway.

It's additionally unnerving to a alternative side too. you asked a few people; they came back with identical answers. It's rsther than quiet they say. It's slow. This means, UMNO Gua Musang as good as Ku Li has been able to carry out a pace. You delayed down your opponents as well who have been additionally in a habit of to a version of destroyed earth fight tactics- demonize as good as vilify your enemy. PAS proposed which primarily by encountering a academic credentials of UMNO's candidate. We mustn't dont think about which a infancy of electorate in Gal! as as go od as Gua Musang have been only Sekolah Atap qualified.
Banner as good as dwindle counts have been bad indicators of change as good as acceptance. Flags as good as banners have been put up by people who get paid for you do that. It wouldn't warn us which maybe a same groups of workers have been paid by both sides to put up banners as good as flags.
So you tell my travelling companions not to be unduly worried. Maybe this proceed is in line with a desire of this choosing director, Tengku Razaliegh Hamzah to have it a low key affair. We mustn't additionally dont think about which this by elections is for a people of Galas to elect a deputy who will offer perhaps, during a many for an additional 2 years prior to a next General elections.
Let's win this choosing in a way a opponents have been inexperienced with. Control a tempo as good as you carry out a outcome.
