The Reality Of BN

When you have a government dominated by UMNO at 57.25% of BN seats (79/138) and together with the present system structure; you can not avoid the Master-Servant relationship.
The only way to see a more meaningful partnership is limiting the "shareholding" of UMNO by say 20-30% of the total partnership. Or, combining a "Veto" system like United Nation for the so-called "Permanent" members like MCA, MIC...Some sort of "Check & Balance" mechanism must be in place to reduce abuse, unfair, and undemocratic decisions.

The present Pakatan Rakyat (PR) ratio is perfect by accident that no one is dominant and mutual respect is practiced out of reality. DAP (35% at 28/80); PAS (28.75% at 23/80); PKR (38.75% at 31/80). Who knows what might be happening when one of them become dominant because of their performance in the future?

The current situation of other BN components are :-
MCA at 10.87% of the total BN seats (15/138); PBB, PRS, SUPP, SPDP of Sarawak at 21.74% of the total BN seats (30/138); and the rest from non-UMNO Sabah parties like PBS, LDP, PBRS, UPKO of a combined 6.52% (9/138); while MIC and Gerakan made up the remaining of 3.62% (5/138).

Therefore, even with all the component parties voting against the UMNO in a BN meeting, there’s no way to change the agenda of the “master” if it insists on going its way. It’s a universal standard throughout the world with the so-called “majority rule”. The only way to get out of the unfavorable decision is to get out of the grouping through resigning.
