This is what the Gua no.4 Meng has to say: -
THE JUDGMENT
YOUTHFUL FOLLY has success.It is not I who seek the young fool;The young fool seeks me.At the first oracle I inform him. If he asks two or three times, it is importunity.If he importunes, I give him no information.Perseverance furthers.
THE IMAGE
A spring wells up at the foot of the mountain:The image of YOUTH.Thus the superior man fosters his characterBy thoroughness in all that he does.
WuJi as it denotes and the Gua Image it represents, up mountain down water, Meng or Dream liked a misty mountain, indeed has manifested itself over the past accounts before and after the General Election. At the material time, post election dilemma has been unveiled chapter by chapter, starting from the defeat of the national coalition in Penang, followed by the defeat of most senior politicians from the national coalition components and resulted in casualty that witnessed the national coalition party lost 5 states to the oppositions. The aftermath, has been an absolute lost of directions for the national front, each components trying to revisit their very own fundamentals and relevance to the society it serves. Over the last 4 decades, this would had been unimaginable and on this basis it will seems hard on the national front to accept defeat at such magnitude let alone, glueing up the loose end and chart the course forward. No doubt, the national front is forming the government by a simple majority, one would witness that the plans that had been on the sleeves suddenly lost its momentum and directions. Forming the cabinet has been in itself a great challenge, with the withdrawal syndrome now faced by its component leaders, absolute disillusions and Blur.
On the opposition front, the confusion arise in the apportionment of the prized pie. There has never been a pack among the 3 opposition front, each representing an Islamic party, Chinese dominant party and a Malay dominant party, beforehand. These parties had never dreamt of denying the national front for 2/3 majority and how could it be after 4 decades of independent? The opposition front also were in the dilemma as seen in the unfolding events of appointing the Perak MB, deciding the number 2 post for Selangor and State Exco seat allocation to DAP. These hiccups has been read as confusing signals to the masses, let alone in identifying what these front has installed for these states to come. All blurred up!
The Malaysian has been left with no directions at this point in time. Gone are the visions and like wise, Malaysian has been left in the mountain surrounded by mist or rather haze.
On the same footing, one will also notice the effect of the period 8, Gen denoting the triumph of a younger and naive generations with solid fundamentals and less rhetorical. The power grips of the older generation or rather lead by an older man has been diminishing, replaced by younger leader with almost no experience in the government, grounded firmly and vow to revisit the fundamentals of the make up of this country. Viva period 8!
