BN component parties which suffered catastrophic losses in the recent general election have vowed to pick up the pieces and reorganise their respective party. Some said they will have more time to do so since they are not elected. Others continue to sulk and blame voters for their poor choice.
In NST today, Gerakan Deputy Youth Chief Lim Si Pin said "I hope they see what type of MP they have voted in. I doubt he can serve the people well." He was the Gerakan candidate whom PKR Tian Chua defeated in the polls.
I am not sure what they meant by reorganisation. Does it mean shifting the office furniture around? Organise more activities for its members? Or changing the party's logo?
What I am pretty sure is a need for a mindset change. If politicians leading these parties are not willing to accept that the society has moved on, political dynamics are no longer the same and that the same old BN method is no longer workable, then I do not think their effort will bring back any supporters.
The first thing these leaders should do is to apologize to their members, supporters and voters for being so self-absorbed and self-centred in the recent general election. Denial will only not take them anywhere. You can change the plate but the stale food will remain stale.
Walk the talk but let the brain do the motion first. Mindset shift is needed and not rearranging the furniture. Worse, stop mocking the intelligence of voters. You may not like the consequence.

Kay Peng,
You are so damn right on this. It's this kind of attitude which got BN thrashed. Does this dude think the rakyat owes him big time? He's got to wake up his idea. They just never learn do they?
I am having a good laugh of the Deputy Youth Chief whose view is so narrow. Whoever from PKR who approaches him could also be a voter and isn't it his duty or the service center duty to help irregardless of race, background and etc ?
Or should he put up a sign saying that the service is only for BN Supporters or Component Parties only. Others are not welcome.
I urge him to re-think again on his statement and see the positive side of things.
Why don't these Gerakan reps. demand Umno-putra treat all Malaysians as equal instead of blaming voters for not voting them in Penang, do they think we are subservient to Gerakan like this party subservient to umnoputra asses and kiss the ground they stand on?Get a life, bunch of coward G-man from Gerakan n MCA.
