It is crytal clear, why puzzle?

Prior to 2 by-elections all sorts of efforts were applied to ensure a victory for BN just for ego sake.Particular attentions were given to win the Chinese voters like approval of special funds for Chinese medium primary schools. Applications for renovations,maintenance,extensions, building of additional class rooms,etc,etc which had been pending for over 10, or 20 years were approved within weeks.Facility in the villages were suddenly improved.For example, an application to build an iron bridge which has been pending for years was speedily approved.
The government has done all there is to be done to win the Chinese votes,but why didn't they reciprocate. why? why? why?...
The answer is very simple,as clear as the crystal.
By doing so much for the people,especially the Chinese community, in such a short span of time, the government has aroused the resentment of the Chinese community. It was interpreted by the Chinese as they had in the past been kept waiting unnecessarily for the approval to various pressing needs not because there was a valid reason for the delay but because somebody up there was trying to show his authority or simply because of discrimination. They asked,"If it can be approved within weeks, why are we kept waiting for 20 years?"
The voters are smarter now,you know.
