Malaysia's 12th General Election

No matter where i land in the future, i know i am always a malaysian. There'll never be country where i would be as sentimental whenever i discuss issues surrounding it. However, now given a choice to live in a country where it's leaps and bounds better than my motherland, i am in the grey zone. It actually hurts to know that this is the truth.

What i am facing now is faced by all malaysians abroad because we love our country but it has continuously ignore our welfare. Who is the one funding my training which cost up to RM350,000 annually now? The current government is only there because they care only for themselves, work only for their personal wealth. Development was still presence when Mahathir was the premier (although corruption was existence, being a smart man who wish to "protect" his name, he kept it relatively well covered!), since 5 years ago, things have gone into the drain. The country still kept going because of efforts from the past. If i can diagnose the endemic disease in the malaysian government, it would be delusion secondary to monetary gain with schizophrenic traits because it has been causing chaos in human lives. They like to think that they have achieved things that is not even within reach.

Fighting for corruption was one of the major promises made in the last election. I have not seen nor heard of any improvement, it's considered good if it has not worsen. Police will take even RM 20 for a traffic crime. Shameless act?!!! It's a major problem when the law enforcement officers are doing it blatantly turning it into a habit and is considered acceptable. We all know that there are no easy way to solve this. Corruption exists at all levels. Take a look at the police force. I, personally sympathize them as their welfare are not well taken care of, hence, we poor citizens are being the end-receiver of it. For example, the accommodation provided by the government to these police officers is a laughing joke. Low cost one room apartment is all they build for these civil servants who are supposed to risk their lives during their duties. How can their family live comfortably? Putrajaya on the other hand is a posh city built using enormous public funds (well, do not forget that we are also subjected to corruption tax for everything we build in malaysia aside from GST! ) for those politicians who sit in their big office not giving effort to build or steer malaysia to greater heights.

Our current PM, AB, is always out of the country especially when there is a disaster. He never knows what's going on (well, or he is just a good actor!). Now, you can see pictures of him shaking hands with commoners to make his presence felt. He has never been present during bad times. But he knows that Malaysians will not gamble in voting for the oppositions because humans are afraid of change. Humans are lazy to make change until it is starting to cut their throats. Should we wait until that happens before we decide to fight? I have to agree that our current oppositions front has not matured into a team that can lead the country. However, all we need is to bring more opposition into the parliment in order to show BN that the citizens are asking for better performance!!!!!!

I don't think PAS-PKR-DAP will win this election .You can see it this way, they will not make Malaysia a worse country simply because we are already in grave position, nothing can be worse than current crop of leaders. If you spend time listening to oppositions front, you can feel better that they are working with malaysian welfare in their mind. They are eager to prove that they can do a better job than their BN counterpart. Why don't give them a chance? Well, listen to parlimentary debate, you will know that our current bunch of ministers are underperformed, immature, irresponsible and clueless.....OR, they are just lazy and corrupted with wasted intelligence.

It upsets me everytime i watch videos above, i could hear my heart being crushed into pieces witnessing our zero-substanced ministers defending those issues brought up by the oppositions by beating around the bush.

I don't watch CNN nor BBC nor Al-Jazeera for news in Malaysia. I read malaysiakini, jeff ooi blog, malaysia today and also the mainstream newspapers. They are written by malaysians. Our RTM is being branded as RT-BN (radio tv-barisan nasional). They are so unfair in giving coverage to people involve in this election, they have never given the oppositions a fair broadcasting time to discuss their agenda, oppositions have always been alienated. Please look at Obama and Hilliary Clinton, these are the debates that will test the knowledge and intelligence of our leaders.

I have failed in my duty as a Malaysian because it's near impossible for me to register and vote being away in this foreign land. For those who still can, please go to the nearest post office today and figure it out. Elections is on March 8 which is only a week away. It's a five year long administration nightmare if the government is not going to work on it's weakness now, we will pay the price with things that are important to us.....national security (meaning having an environment where our family members can feel safe), economic growth (maintaining earning capacity, ensuring job opportunities; in this era of globalisation, we are far from prepared to enter the battle), social welfare (educational system, racial unity- it's bloody shitty when our political parties are still racial based).

I know I sound bias towards the opposition, to be fair, there must be someone who is carrying out their job. However, just merely doing ok is not enough. Even that, not all are doing enough. I know it's tough but civil servants performance wasn't like this before in the past. This the fruit from the seeds that weren't planted correctly from the beginning. We need a leader who is constantly critical of his own performance. We need someone who can set good example. MPs are people who are voted by the people to work for the country, someone who should sacrifice for their country. It's not a job for people who are looking for comfortable high ranking positions. Having said that, i do realise that some chosen BN MPs are hardworking, righteous person but that doesn't bring them anywhere. They will not be chosen to represent BN again if they ever voice against BN interest in any issue during their tenure. AND the Malaysian Constitution has been amended some 690 times in 50 years. The USA has been in existence for more than 200 years and their constitution was only amended 27 times (source SV SIngam). How's that?

I guess at the end of the day, the biggest question is CAN WE TRUST THE OPPOSITION IF NOT BN?

Enough said! Thirsty now!


(-_-)***i am sorry that i am not voting. how i wish i can. I was blinded into supporting Dr.Mahathir since my school days, i don't even know if i'll smile to him or shake his hands acknowledging him if we do meet in the future.
