This organisation supposedly made up by 395 NGO representing 1.5million members and its representatives include those from 75 Chinese-based and 20 Indian groups and associations. This organisation also presents itself as supposedly representing the silent majority, has gone silent over the election results. Especially with the ever dismal election results produced by our PM.
I'm surprised that this supposedly silent majority organisation has not spoken up and make a big hu-ha press conference to pledge their support to our 'ever excellent and hard-working' PM who has been hit by calls of resignation.
Meanwhile, Tracy Yeoh who writes for TheSun SpeakUp column pointed out, "What was most surprising was significant reduction in percentage of popular election votes received by BN coalition from 63% in 2004 to 51.2% nationally, and 49.8% excluding east Malaysia."
If I read it correctly, BN coalition garnered less than 50% of popular vote from Peninsula Malaysia for this 2008 election campaign. Yes, by any yardstick, the election results showed that the silent majority has indeed spoken.
* Reality check on Damai ?
