With the year ending and the general election is considered as still few months away, the oppositions are still grappling with internal conflicts and also within the alliance itself. The three parties – DAP, PAS and PKR – are not seeing each other 'eye-to-eye' in every political sense as each party go their way to gain as much influence as each can, forgetting the 'togetherness' they are supposed to forged to take over Putrajaya. 2012 is a year of 'disaster' for the three opposition parties as they see their strength and influence eroding by the day and the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) is on the offensive. Since the past few years, the oppositions under the unregistered alliance of Pakatan Rakyat (PR) have been on the offensive picking up issues that attracted Malaysians but apparently, the issues did not stick. Just a passing fade, like games with the youngsters, seasonal and do not last long, which at present got the oppositions worried. Whatever being highlighted and raised have thus far 'climbed the popularity charts very fast and came down fast too' which had them repeating again and again, adding new 'actors' and updating with new angles. Latest is the 'ugly blood curling incidents' claiming BN 'thugs' did them in desperation and so on, plus the repeat of scorpene and Altantuya, all aiming at keeping the issues afloat and alive so that Malaysians at large continue being reminded. In reality, most of the public are fed up with the repeats, just like Astro HBOs…and the updates that the oppositions gave are always the same persons giving out the briefings and nothing new. So this year, updates of the repetitions did not attract the much interests and this worry the oppositions as their recent ceramahs have also seen dwindling number of audiences, only same faces all over the country. 2012 is not their year and this scenario is expected to get worse as all the three parties in the opposition face internal problems. DAP is facing internal squabbles with Karpal Singh now questioning every move that the party leaders make with the exception of to'kong Lim Guan Eng. Karpal's actions have antagonized many DAP leaders who, many said are presently in the quiet trying to gather enough support to at the very least keep his mouth shut. Karpal's outbursts have somewhat divide further the already split party where non-Malays are still not accepted despite the party claiming to be multi-racial. And Karpal has also antagonized the party's partners PAS in condemning them against the party's moved in including non-Muslims in the implementation of Hudud laws. Adding to their problems is the anti-Malay brand that the party carries after its recently concluded convention which saw no Malays being elected into the leadership line-up. So with the anti-Malay brand and racial 'turbulences' as a result of Karpal's explosion on issues involving the acceptance of Datukship and land deal in Kelantan, DAP may see the party split may result in the party performing just as it was before 2008 general election.

The issue of Hadi's message is still haunting PAS even though they had done just about everything to cover the issue. The issue might come in and out, but it does not mean that it is no longer relevant. Like what was revealed, the message has caused a lot of negative impact to rakyat, including death. Various matters has been raised to Hadi, trying to get him to take back his message, but until now, he still haven't say anything. Other than Nik Aziz's statement in harakah who tried convince people that Hadi Awang is a wise man and he knows what he's doing, only those in social networking sites try to defend the message as either true, or stale. Hadi never really felt responsible over his supporters who divorced their wives or broke their parents heart, all because they believe that those people are kafir, based on the message. Hadi Awang also seem ignorant towards the children of those who died during Memali tragedy who still believe that their parents are syuhada as they die fighting against kafir government. As for now, he is only interested to talk about the election and not religion. This is what people are thinking of Hadi's silence. However, it is not wise for us to be as arrogant as Hadi Awang. That is why we should be open to accept the probability that our perception might be wrong. That is why we should consider what people are saying in kedai kopi, saying that Hadi Awang is sick. It is rumored that not that he does not want to provide his response to the media, it is because he could not face them in his current condition. It is true, only a few days ago, he seem very healthy and strong enough to be the next Prime Minister, but out of the sudden, he is said to be very sick. Some say that he is too pressured with this message issue because he does not know the best way to handle it without jeopardizing Pakatan Rakyat's chance to head to Putrajaya. If he defends his followers belief that UMNO is kafir and the death of those during the Memali Tragedy is syahid, then he might face more divorce and issues among his own followers, which would threaten PR. If he denies that he used to say that UMNO is kafir, then he would need to face his former supporters who said that people around them are kafir. He would also need to tell the children of those who died during the Memali tragedy that their parents died just like that, their death do not mean anything to the religion. This would also bring bad impact to PAS and PR. Thus, Hadi is really stressed because he is scared that this issue might stop him from getting to be in Putrajaya. That is why we should pray for a fast recovery for him so that he could face the media and explain everything.
