Hate won the day

Received this TMI link just now from my beloved, who is a DAP supporter,

Do Malaysians really hate Najib?

 Study says 'Yes'

excerpts;

A post-election study conducted by Selangor think-tank Institut Darul Ehsan (IDE) showed that Pakatan Harapan did not win the 14th general election because of its strengths, or the charisma of its leaders. It won because of the overwhelming hatred of Malaysian voters towards Najib Razak.

The study also found that the “total support” of non-Malays for PH was also what led the coalition to Putrajaya, while a majority of Malay voters cast their vote for Umno.

"It was not a total support from the people. PH won because the people rejected Najib," IDE deputy chairman Professor Redzuan Othman told The Malaysian Insight.

So, if the study is true, hate was the one that won the election for PH.

It's a hate which was nurtured for years, if you ask me.

They would have said Najib was giving dedak to these elderly Chinese people

Well, I'm not going to discuss that anymore.

For me it's done and over with.

PH won, BN lost.

Whether the method was morally sound or not, doesn't really matter.

That's the way it is now.

It's just that I'm not very good with this hate thing.

I did try to hate after the GE13 but it just didn't work with me.

Most of those I was supposed to hate are people that I love.

I just can't do it.

Many who commented in this blog thought that I hate DAP, but actually I'm not.

For one thing, I have never advocated the destruction of DAP the way many DAP people advocate the destruction of Umno.

I even love someone who supports DAP and I have friends who are DAP operatives.

I also think that almost all of my relatives on my mother's side voted for PH in support of DAP.

But even back then when I was all out supporting Umno and BN, I never hated the DAP people the way DAP people hate Umno people.

In fact, I think I dislike Pas more than DAP.

I have friends who are formerly with Umno but now with Pribumi Bersatu who truly hated DAP and for years wanted the Chinese dominated party to be destroyed.

But really, I'm not like that.

For me, we need both sides of the political divide to have a good democracy in this country.

I criticised both sides when the need arises and if I believe that I know the subject matter well enough for me to comment on it.

Check the archive of this blog if you don't believe me.

And I definitely don't write because of hate.

Yup, not even when I was making fun of Guan Eng.

I made fun of Umno leaders too.

But that didn't mean that I hate them.

Hate is just bad, okay.

It clouds your judgement and makes you irrational.

Pure and simple.

Nothing good will come out of hate.

Not even the GE14 if it's really because of hate. Just wait and see.

Anyway, I'm just staying in my room today.

Not feeling very well to go out, actually.

Well, the rain outside just stopped.

Here lah, another song for you all;
