I refer to the letter Non-bumis doomed to repeat mistake of 69?

LCH is right with his concerns but I don't think he needs to be overly-concerned. I don't think one needs to place particular emphasis on a survey of voting intentions of 'some' non-Malay citizens.

Between now and voting time, many will have changed their minds or, as LCH puts it, come to their senses.

The dangers of their present mood, if actualised in votes, could easily return a highly-volatile Malaysia to the bloodletting of May 13, 1969. But I don't think there's any danger of that happening.

What the survey reveals is nothing more than deep-seated frustration with the pathetic state of affairs and governance by the completely scandal-ridden, highly corrupt and totally incompetent Barisan Nasional regime.

At the end of the day, however, voters will come to their senses and they will vote as before, albeit reluctantly, knowing that anything different will lead, inevitably, to large-scale political violence and an incalculable destruction of the nimble Malaysian economy.

And I don't think even the incompetent Umno, MCA, MIC, Gerakan and the other smaller leeches that make up the BN coalition, would allow events to descend to that end-game.
