HERE ARE THE FACTS WHY WE CANNOT GIVE THEM 2/3 OF PARLIAMENT
1. Barisan lost 2/3 majority once, in 1969. Only briefly.
2. Since 1957, it has amended the constitution 690 times to propagate its power. By comparison, USA which is more 200 years old has only amended its constitution 27 times; Singapore as little as only 4 times.
Here's the statistics from the 2004 election:
a. In total, Barisan received 63.8% of the popular votes but has 199 parliamentary seats or 91% of all parliamentary seats.
b. UMNO received 35.9% of the popular votes but has 110 parliamentary seats or 50% of all parliamentary seats.
c. The opposition received 36.2% of the popular votes but has only 20 parliamentary seats or 9% of all parliamentary seats.
Here's the decision-making power process within our present cabinet
a. UMNO not only controls the parliament via Barisan, it has allocated itself 24 cabinet positions or 71% of all cabinet positions.
b. MCA has 5 cabinet positions or 15% of the cabinet positions.
c. MIC has 1 cabinet position or 3 % of the cabinet positions.
d. Gerakan has 1 cabinet position or 3% of the cabinet positions.
e. Other component parties hold 3 cabinet positions or 8% of the cabinet positions.
f. The opposition with 36.2% of all the popular votes is not given a single cabinet position.
Although UMNO controls 50% of all parliamentary seats, it controls 71% of all the decision making processes within the cabinet.
4. Many marginalization issues or unfair election practices are the result of legislations passed by Barisan (lead by UMNO) unchecked in a dominant Barisan parliament. Under the Barisan Party whip system, the majority component party within Barisan will dictate the rules of the game. Other Barisan component parties like MCA, Gerakan or MIC cannot vote against what UMNO decides in whatever it likes, even if they wanted to.
5. Best part is this: even if the opposition won all the seats it contested, no single opposition party can form the next government. Why? Gerrymandering (of the present election borders) has ensured that even if Barisan were to win 50% of the popular votes in the upcoming election, it will still control 2/3 of parliament. As an example, in 2004 Barisan took 64% of the popular votes but ended up controlling 91% of parliament. It is easy to see why if they win only 50% of the popular votes in the next election they will once again be able to dictate absolute power in the parliament.
Are these fair elections? Is this truly democracy??
Do your maths ... and do your part...

，狗狗就是失宠的宠物！瘦瘦的还生病，虽然带它看过兽医了。
~后来那个没良心的家伙把狗狗托给了有养宠物的亲戚。希望它能够遇到宠它、爱它，而且还有恒心的主人。
