Kumpulan '69' Dalam Politik, Kolum Pena Dr.Siva, Utusan Malaysia, 5 April 2012
Yang penting dalam politik hari ini adalah keikhlasan dan kejujuran kepada perjuangan. Setiap pemimpin mesti bertanyakan mengapakah mereka perlu disokong ramai dan bukan sekadar beberapa kerat penyokong di sisi mereka; dan lebih daripada itu, apakah perjuangan sebenar mereka jika memahaminya secara terperinci dan boleh melahirkan lapisan penyokong dan pemimpin muda yang memiliki aspirasi yang sama.

MoU kerajaan-UKM telah mewujudkan Kursi Kepimpinan Wanita. Barangkali Krusi ini boleh menghebatkan emansipasi wanita melangkaui politik.

Politics and Perception

Politics is all about perception. Once the public think you've done it, it won't matter even if you're not convicted at the end.

Analysts See Local Ripples From Suu Kyi Win, Free Malaysia Today, 2 Paril 2012
Universiti Sains Malaysia’s Sivamurugan Pandian said the Myanmar and Arab experience would have an effect on how Malaysians vote, but mostly in the urban areas.
He said he did not expect BN to lose in the coming election. “It will remain very much a status quo. Maybe the changes can happen in the 14th or 15th election if BN does not change more drastically by then.”
He said the BN leadership at the top level had changed and that this was most apparent in Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak. However, he lamented that since 2008, the two rival coalitions had focused so much on each other’s weaknesses that they had neglected explaining their policies.
“They are focusing on character assassination,” he said, “and voters now see these things as pointless".

Voters May Opt For Political Status Quo, Free Malaysia Today, 29 March 2012
Political observer Sivamurugan Pandian said Barisan Nasional (BN) may continue to helm the government after the country’s much-awaited 13th general election.
His main reason is that neutrals or fence-sitters were generally unsatisfied with the performance of both BN and Pakatan.
As much as they desire change, he said these neutrals would also punish non-performance and non-delivery of the incumbent elected representatives and state governments.
Their votes – crucial and decisive – can go either way.
There would be some shocking losses and upset victories for both sides,” Sivamurugan, the deputy dean of the school of social sciences in Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), told FMT here today.
Fence-sitters are estimated to constitute some 30% to 40% of the electorate
Selection of winnable candidates will be vital for both coalitions.
Delivery and performance of the federal and state governments will be crucial,he said.
I gave a general overview of the upcoming GE without referring to any component parties.

Kepelbagaian Wasattiyah Kesederhanaan Jadi Kunci Lahirkan Bangsa Malaysia, Utusan Malaysia, 27 Mac 2012
Selepas mula memimpin negara, Najib bangkit untuk melonggarkan sentimen keetnikan dan ras supaya masyarakat sedar kestabilan adalah segalanya di negara yang kompleks ini. Walaupun berbeza agama, kepercayaan dan keturunan yang disuburkan dengan pelbagai upacara dan ritual serta praktis, nilai kenegaraan tidak boleh dikompromi.
Fahaman politik dan gender tidak terkecuali. Ini jaminan dibawah kepimpinan beliau yang menekankan pendekatan wasatiyah@kesederhaaan agar kepelbagaian masyarakat negara ini tidak terhakis hubungan sosialnya tetapi kepelbagaian menjadi aset dominan untuk kepentingan bersama.
Golongan sederhana mesti secara terbuka menyuarakan keazaman mereka ke atas nilai ini melangkaui kelompok ekstrem yang selalu menonjol agar tidak menampakkan seolah-olah pupusnya nilai perkongsian bersama yang dinikmati selama ini.
Tidak boleh dinafikan bahawa setiap individu yang lahir dalam mana-mana keluarga dengan sosialisasi yang berbeza mempunyai sifat prejudis dan etnosentriknya. Tetapi sejauh manakah masing-masing tahu menyesuaikan diri dengan keadaan dalam mengemukakan nilai tersebut juga berkait dengan kematangan masing-masing berdasarkan prinsip 'menarik rambut dari tepung; rambut tidak putus, tepung tidak berselerak' agar kejayaan memelihara keamanan tidak terjejas disebabkan oleh persepsi ke atas politik dan perilaku sesetengah politikus yang ghairah menilik kuasa sehingga lalai dalam pemahaman ke atas 'yang mana liberal dan yang mana ekstrem' tanpa mahu menghalusi prinsip wasatiyah kepimpinan hari ini.
