Show priority to the needs of the rakyat

IN any election, there would be winners and losers. The winners should concentrate on fulfilling their election pledges and begin the process of rebuilding or rehabilitating the country. The losers should exit graciously and reflect on the circumstances that led to their loss. Sometimes, it would have had nothing to do with their popularity, past service or personal fault.

But it must be clear that in a democracy, there is no room for illicit political manoeuvring. Some sore losers might resort to using questionable tactics to further their political ambition but history has shown that such manoeuvring would only destroy the nation, and the perpetrators would ultimately be exposed as there is nowhere for them to hide.
