Malaysian Political Situation ... a laymans analysis

There are an incredible number of opinions out there about what is happening to Malaysia politically. It seems that everywhere you turn, the general man on the street seems to be siding PKR. However, this could be because the city folk have always tended to be opposition whereas the folks on the outskirts of cities tend to be more pro-BN.
Regardless, it is my intention to try to look at this objectively and try to analyse from my own understanding by the various blogs, papers and what have you.
Some points to ponder on which have in some way impacted the way the situation is today:
1. The charging of Anwar for Sodomy 10 years ago.
2. The appointment of Badawi as PM by Mahathir.
3. The various scandals and failures of projects like the MRR2.
4. Mahathir's departure from UMNO.
5. Mahathir's own position and criticism of Badawi.
6. The strengthening of Anwar after his jail term.
7. The various reports raised on misappropriation of funds by BN. (sports building in england, etc)
8. The flip flopping of education policies.
9. The major March 2008 loss of seats for BN.
10. The unlawful ISA arrests made to Raja Petra, Teresa Kok, and journalist Tan.
11. The Altantuya murder which seemed at one point to implicate the DPM but has since been silenced.
12. The various "disappearances" of parties and critical witnesses to the Altantuya murder.
13. The apparent non-authoratative nature of our current PM.
14. The not so independent ACA.
15. The not-so independent judiciary.
16. The need for the government having to step in at every single thing that is happening, whether it be crime, corporate issues, political issues or anything; giving the impression that things cannot run on their own without government intervention (or interference as some would say).
17. Cronyism
18. The issuance of licences and project handouts and evaluations which seem to indicate unfairness.
19. The issueing of APs.
20. The unjust ISA arrests under highly questionable scenarios of individuals.
21. The NON-arrests of individuals who deserve to be arrested.

All these little and large items happening at various points in the past few years after Badawi took over as PM has led to people slowly but surely losing faith with the current government. Emotions aside, there seem to have been too many things happening in the political arena and sometimes not political arena which are shaping the opinion of the people.
What seems to be very common in this country is that the BN seem to always have to step in and voice an opinion or make a decision over things which should not even concern them. This gives the public the opinion that the government is somehow involved and taking a side, whichever side it may be.
AFter the March 2008 elections up to date, it seems like the country has never settled in to face the current economic woes. This again leads to the general public being tired and fed up with the way things are being managed, if at all. The feeling that the government is still groping in the dark, never ever being able to pick up the pieces of the loss and focusing on issues like actually running the country is very real at this point in time. Even the BN partner MCA to date has not made any progress at all in trying to remedy the economy. However, from the point of "opinions", there is never a shortage of it.
All these lead to one simple fact: the public start to lose faith, and any change is better than what we have now.
However, with all the turmoil with economy, opposition party attacks and psychological warfare, how will BN ever get to pick up the pieces? There is no country in the world or political party that can focus on anything if it has to focus on everything.
This is the trouble Malaysia is in now; and by the looks of it, it is going to be a long arduous journey ahead for any party. The people are ready. The management is not.
