- A DA process would begin with identifying a decision statement and then identifying the objectives of the decision. In this case, what is the best possible GE13 outcome for Malaysia?
- Best outcome will be where:
- the long-suffering Malaysian rakyat get their rights protected against injustice, such as what Abu Bakar had said in his ascension as the first Caliph, I have been given the authority over you, and I am not the best of you. If I do well, help me; and if I do wrong, set me right. Sincere regard for truth is loyalty and disregard for truth is treachery. The weak amongst you shall be strong with me until I have secured his rights, if God wills; and the strong amongst you shall be weak with me until I have wrested from him the rights of others, if God wills. Obey me so long as I obey God and His Messenger. But if I disobey God and His Messenger, ye owe me no obedience. Arise for your prayer, God have mercy upon you.
- the economy moving steadily in the right-direction, which we can clarify further to mean that private businesses get a chance to prosper and grow, where proactive government policies create a level playing field to promote
- a leader for the leaderless malays, setting a malay-muslim development policy that replaces the what was then necessary but now needs tweaking NEP, one that builds upon 'let's help the helpless malays' (and look at the political support we are getting!) to one that builds on the policies espoused by Saidina Abu Bakr about egalitarianism, firstly amongst the malay community and then amongst the wider community until such time meritocracy is fully workable (notice the subtle insinuation that meritocracy brings). To that end, I fully expect the GLCs to be where they are supposed to be - an open, diverse community without the artificial barriers that has been built-in within the policies, the government ministries to be scaled down and has greater multi-ethnic representation at all levels and not so much a quota-filling exercise (not to mention less politicking please). And all this must be done while ensuring the "helpless malays" change the subsidy mentality - hence a strong mandate is required for one or the other.
