Middle Malaysia is being like the owl pining for the moon

Information communication and culture minister Dr Rais Yatim said, DAP's "middle path" strategy is being like 'pungguk rindukan bulan' (the owl pining for the moon) and the moon will not drop unless if Allah wills it."

Dr Rais Yatim said: "They can say out whatever big dream they have but ultimately, it's the people who will decide.”

The DAP’s “middle path” strategy, also named “Middle Malaysia”, was announced by party secretary-general and Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, at the party’s 15th national conference.

They wanted to show that the opposition was providing an alternative and fighting "for fair and equality for all Malaysians".

The strategy aim at projecting a collective image of Pakatan Rakyat (PR) and broaden their common ground as they see slogans are not enough to draw support from people, instead the government must appeal to all communities.

In the past, DAP had found itself to be the target of those who branded the party as "a Chinese chauvinist establishment out to erode the special privileges of the Malays and undermine Islam, the national religion".

On the other hand, the eight values of 1Malaysia as articulated by Najib Razak are perseverance, a culture of excellence, acceptance, loyalty, education, humility, integrity, and meritocracy. It strongly emphasizes national unity, ethnic tolerance, and government efficiency.

The question arises: Is BN threaten by the middle Malaysia strategy?
