A BEATEN AND BATTERED LION

A BEATEN AND BATTERED LION....

On all counts SNAP refuses to bow down to the voices of doom. Mauled and badly wounded as it is, the fight ought to be brought to the finish; but a beaten and battered lion will need nothing less than a miracle to get back on its feet.

There is NO choice. SNAP MUST LISTEN TO THE VOICES OF THE RAKYAT, thus:

(i) There must be a complete overhaul of its leadership: a new, dynamic team of active, capable young professionals must be at the helm.

(ii)  It ought to remain true to its multi-racial entity and veer away from its rhetoric stance: that it is a party of the Dayak, by the Dayaks, and for the Dayaks.

(iii)  The approaches to change must be redefined, drastic, and radical. There is no time to waste. The situation is likened to a fish out of water; and no one is boarding a fast sinking ship.

(iv)  For SNAP’s sake, its survival and future direction hinge on the leadership styles of the would-be-inducted leaders during the forthcoming TGA (ideally to comprise three-quarters in term of youthful leaders of 42 years old and below)

The forthcoming TGA scheduled on 24th and 25th September 2011 is the most appropriate and best time to undertake the above tasks to coincide with SNAP’s 50th Anniversary Celebration.

Like it not, SNAP has to acknowledge that resources including money are the life-lines of a party to stay afloat and move forward (like other political organizations).
Lofty ideals are only fine on a bright sunny days BUT not so during and in the aftermath of “tsunami”.

SNAP’s must recognize the real need for strategic political alignment. There is no place for pride.


HEAR YE ....  !!
