Sometimes when one reads about the statements or replies by the Malaysia government ministers, one feels ashamed of them, knowing that foreign correspondents would also be observing them.
One just wonder how come majority of the government ministers or their subordinates just could not show themselves with depth in their words and thoughts!
Their mentality is just so shallow as always reflected in their talks.
Is it because they do lack reading and gaining knowledge and information? But then they are the ones who keeping telling the public to read and read? They don't? Too busy politicking on trivial? What a pity?
Or that they are too busy over personal interest? Or are they just of mediocre intelligence up there, but good in drawing support by being able to be able to talk mediocrity?
Can the nation draws on them to prod on to the national vision?
It is anybody's guess. Your guess is just as good as my guess. Just hope and guess the good things will come one fine day.
Something is seriously and definitely lacking in the government ministers, selection? Is there a dearth of quality leaders in Malaysia politics to be selected?
Something drastic must be done to rectify the current situation in the country.
Many so called leaders in Malaysia are still shackled in their perceived medieval mentality based false premises.
We all now know that Umno is a racist party in the mold of the apartheid regime of South Africa in the last century, and also practices a big part of Hitler politics (master race).
These are the salient aspects of Umno politics.
Without these racist politics, where else is the strength of Umno! How can they win elections if they don't show and shout racist and discriminatory remarks to their voters and audiences?
With the election under way, we have been bombarded with campaigns telling us that we should cast our votes. We are supposed to vote because it is our duty as Malaysians.
Well, maybe many Malaysians out there could relate to that. But for the many who have never voted or have no inkling of interest in politics, this seems like another political propaganda or yet another political party's gimmick to win.
If you happen to belong to the latter group, well, you are like me then. I mean, hey, why should I bother waking up early and queuing up just to cast my vote. If that candidate was meant to win, then he or she would have won without my vote or otherwise.
But now I somehow feel that maybe I should vote, not for the sake of that candidate or wanting that candidate to win, but rather because I am doing myself favour. As far as I am concerned, that is the reason that I am voting.
The candidate standing in my constituency doesn't know me, and I don't know him or her personally myself. Heck, I don't even know whether it is a he or a she! Not that I care or want to make any effort to get to know the person. But I do know the political party that this person represents, at least based on what I've seen around me.
The way I see it, if that candidate were to lose, then the political party he or she represents loses too. I guess I have come to realise that I have an interest in wanting that candidate to win and perhaps my interest is greater than that of the candidate's.
My interest is in the manner and style of administration of the party that this candidate represents. My belief lies in the concept of development that they can bring as well as the ideology that they uphold.
So now I do want to cast my vote, only because I want to make sure that the political party that I believe in should be given a chance to run the country. I just want to ensure that my interests are protected and provided for, and more importantly that I do not wish to fall prey, and be a victim to a system that I have no faith in.
I do not want to end up blaming myself should something adverse happen in the future just because I was too wrapped up in nothing or was simply not bothered to cast my vote.
Okay, so other people might benefit, too, when that political party wins. I'd consider that an incidental benefit. I am no champion, nor am I that patriotic. So call me selfish, I don't care what you think. That is my right and yes, I am voting for my self-interests. At least, I am doing something positive for my own good.
To all you people like me out there, maybe one day the reason people like us vote may be different like maybe then we'd be voting for the good of the nation and see it as our responsibility to do so.
But if we have yet to get there, so be it. Just do it for our own self-interests for now. Our reasons in wanting to vote may differ from the rest, but why should that matter? I say we should just go out and cast our votes. Let just do it for own personal good.
Malaysia is the only country that telling the truth will cause civil disorder. Everything that is said is either:
1. cannot be verified 2. half truth 3. lies 4. outdated 5. not allowed to be verified 6. not allowed to be legally bound 7. not allowed to be legally challenged 8. not legally binding 9. etc etc……….
One of the most glaring and blatant distortion of the "social contract" was the secular character of nation-building, that Malaysia is a secular nation but not an Islamic state - a position publicly reaffirmed by the first three prime ministers, but which was unilaterally and unconstitutionally abandoned by the Barisan Nasional government in the "929 Declaration" that Malaysia is an Islamic state.
Another example of the distortion of the "social contract" happened in parliament when the Umno minister accused the opposition, of questioning the sensitive issue of malay special rights when touching on the controversy over bumi corporate equity during the debate.
In my statement, I said this was an unconstitutional rewriting of the "social contract" as the New Economic Policy target for bumi corporate equity is not protected by Article 153 of the constitution on "special position" of the malays and the natives of Sabah and Sarawak, and questioning the NEP targets is not questioning Article 153 of the constitution.
I agree with one that the media in Singapore is controlled. In fact, arguably more controlled than ours Malaysia.
However, take a look at their qualifications and the results they have delivered! Until today, there is yet a single shoddy and blatantly outrages personal business deal involve any of them. Don't they qualify on their own rights?
Is the grass greener on the other side?
Let us ponder:
They are in the first world category. Ours? They don't have racial discriminatory policies. Ours? They don't have ministers who act more like circus' clowns. Ours? Their country's coffer is loaded with money despite having no oil. Ours? Their citizens don't have bread and butter issues. Ours?
No surprising with such emotion running high: More to emigrate. This is brain drain. Bolehland has no vision for its all people except for the Umno malays.
Who not afraid of the keris waving politician? Even my malay classmate emigrated to New Zealand recently, sick of the polemics and the politicising of religion here, good thing got money shall travel, no money no talk.
Should have left 10 years ago when I saw that we have no equal opportunities. But I hesitated and said there will be a change when Badawi takes over. Well! Guess that was not the case. It got worse and the future of Malaysia is bleak!
Pack my back and left the place to look for better opportunities and fight on merits. I am better off in Australia than the "Dark Hole" of Malaysia. At least you get respected for your recognition and skill. In Malaysia, how good you are is always a second class citizen. No promotion for us but their own kind.
NEP to malays is like drug to drug addicts. Once they started to taste it, they will never let go till they die. Tough they all know very well NEP is just like drug, not good for them in the long run, but they can't resist the short term temptation and fall deeper and deeper into the abyss of NEP.
Since now, the NEP had become Never Ending Policy, the little hope of getting out of the NEP drug will dismiss and leading to the destruction of the malays. By then maybe all the able non-malays had already emigrated to greener pasture in overseas. I forecast 2020 year is the doom day. Thanks to selfish Umno malays.
We are at our own liberty not to live in this controversial country. The government does not discourage us to leave this country. For Chinese and Indians, Malaysia perhaps is not a good place to stay because your mother countries to with China and India are now thriving. Just leave malays to manage their own country. Let Malaysia ruin with the malays.
The Chinese culture is compatible to other cultures in the world. The Chinese will have no problem adapt to other cultures in the world. There are many China Towns in overseas countries. So the Malaysian Chinese will feel at home wherever they go.
Real sick and tired of all these Umno babiputras, the sob in Malaysia Umno babiputras!
Yes, the only realistic proposition is encourage all Chinese to emigrate to Singapore and leave Malaysia for the malays. Trouble is Singapore is so small, its land mass will not allow a huge population to live in the island.
So next choice for the Chinese to emigrate is to Australia and New Zealand. The exodus has begun. Those who can afford now have started to go. The signs are already there.
There is no future in this country anymore. In a few years time this country will be in ruins when the oil money runs dry. FDI has already dry up and gone to other countries like Thailand and Vietnam. Foreign factories have closed shop migrated to China and India.
Chinese planning to emigrate should also consider option to return to China. Some of my friends when to invest there and within a few years become millionaires. There is much more opportunities and being Chinese there shouldn't be any problem.
By my own experience I can tell you that it is great being a new citizen in Singapore. You are judged by what you can contribute and not but some NEP policies.
The education in Singapore is also about the best in the world. Yes, even the educators from the native English-speaking countries adopt how mathematics and science are taught here.
Best of all, every time you cross the causeway to visit Malaysia you are rewarded by at least 2 or 3 times in your spending capability.
Oops……….now that this is happening, in the next 5 - 10 years, Malaysia will end up looking like the Philippines, where their main export is maids. Lack of income from tax, will see economy melt down. Skilled professionals all fled from the country.
Yes and having lived overseas, I have a nice bird's eye view of how Malaysia is heading towards the sewers.
Malaysia has spent the last 3 decades focusing on physical infrastructure without developing the human capital. Never mind the restrictions and stifling of independent minds - let us not even go there yet.
Let us start with basic education and providing of higher education opportunities for the best and brightest. We have cultivated at least 2 generations of dumbass.
Too many unqualified malays have been force fed into colleges and universities and the end result is you have the same bunch of witless village idiots, except now they are holding a piece of paper they don't know what to do with. A minority is absorbed back into the tertiary education system……….no prizes for guessing what that has caused over the last 30 years.
For the majority remaining, real world corporations wouldn't even hire them if they offered to work for free. So you have a bunch of jobless numbskulls who think they are too good for the common labor jobs, which they would have ended up in anyways given their aptitude and qualification, and desire a pen-pushing corporate position (if they could push that pen to string one coherent sentence in English, that would be another thing).
So we bring in all sorts of foreign labors to do our work for us, and we have a youth bulge of unemployable (and grossly unqualified) graduates walking around with a sense of entitlement.
Sounds familiar? It should. This is what is happening in the Middle East.
This trend towards greater Islamic extremism is also no coincidence. It is merely the natural path of development that a failed society embarks upon.
The malays have failed. Plain and simple. Their policies stink, they have screwed themselves more than they have others, in fact. The only reason the shit hasn't hit the fan sooner is because, like their desert co-religionists, they have petroleum propping them up.
That will go soon……….not totally, but it won't be at the present rate it props the country up. And it is closer than you think.
Those who can should emigrate and get the hell out - and that includes our malay brothers and sisters who have the means to. When the dust settles, no amount of cyber cities, longest bridges and tallest buildings, are going to save you from the disaster of a fourth world country that is being developed.
I am one of the cows applying for migration. How do I feel? I feel that the world is my home. If I am not treated well here, I will go to another country.
It is not about fighting for the country or fighting for the world. I am fighting for a better life and that is what everyone craves for.
Anyway why limit ourselves to one country when we can explore to other places. We only leave once, make the best out of it.
Well, the most popular countries to emigrate are Australia, New Zealand and USA. For those who wanted to emigrate to any of these countries and not prepare to pay the extra migration agent fees should consider apply themselves, it is not difficult as long as you meet the respective country criteria.
I know because I am an migrant myself and I helped my friends to emigrate to all those countries in the past three years.
Migration is not a dirty word and will never be. Even migrating birds migrate for reasons of weather and food.
The long lost word "patriotism" is only an empty world for the politicians to achieve their agenda. If that is not true, then there would not be incidents we heard as follows:
1. Minister got caught in Australia airport with bags of undeclared millions. 2. Minister open bank accounts in Europe after retirement. 3. Minister son's multimillion mansion in Canada put up for sale after intrusion of thieves.
Well, even he is with a hidden agenda, can it be any worse than the current arrogant and unabashed abuse of power, an indifferent electorate, a muffled and depleted opposition party, a pliant press, rampant corruption and systemic dismantling of the vestiges of judiciary!
Ministers send their children to school overseas meanwhile they want the rest to attend the so-called national schools and they could shamelessly say, that is an individual choice.
Graduates from local "U" need to attend additional training course so that to tailor for the job offered. A figure of 90% unemployed graduates from local "U" and RM20 billion loans not recovered from local graduates.
What is the actual problem of the higher education in Malaysia?
BN has done a lot of damage in our education system. After 48 years of independence, the standard of education in Malaysia is getting lower and lower. The academic standards of local universities are not recognized by the foreign countries. Our local graduates are unemployed totaling to 60000.
What could BN cherish its achievements in education?
Now with the incompetence everywhere in the country, e.g. like not even one doctor can perform a simple resuscitation among the 50 doctors who attend a so-called medical conference. Do you think you want to ask your children to come back Malaysia to learn from these third-rate masters? The country has slowly loosed its skill and knowledge without even realizing it.
Until today, the argument of whether to use Chinese, English or Malay to teach science and mathematics still continues. The difference in knowledge vs. time is exponential and not linear and we have lost so much time already.
We do not have to look far, just look at Singapore and Malaysia since after both got independence.
Education is an important investment for the children and many people will get all means to achieve the end. It is a kind of if we can't get one to the mountain, we will get mountain to the one.
People migrate simply for the reason of equal opportunity and education for the children. Initially they have to sacrifice a lot, like business, job income or property. But ultimately they gain a good future for their children.
We have to consider ourselves that we are global citizens and if we have the extra resources, we are more than willing to contribute to the humanity and those who are in need.
Thanks to the borderless Internet, ICT and globalization, we could today have more choices and to a certain extent, say what we think that is correct.
Malaysia is be a Taliban state! Teaching kids to kill people, preaching hates and angers, chasing away investors with their seditious, racist, insensitive, incendiary, extremist utterances, unfair to non-malays.
Enough is enough!
To all the people out there, Please vote for a change! Vote the opposition! Vote the DAP!
Malaysia, the home to a variety of beliefs, cultures, races and religions comes with its fair share of taboos, most of which originate from religious and superstitions dogma. But there is a taboo that almost all Malaysians recognise, and that is talk about racial equality.
This issue has been discussed over and over, though never openly. Despite rising resentment among the non-malays, the racial status quo has remained as discriminatory as it has been since the birth of the affirmative action policy known as the National Economic Policy (NEP).
No on second thoughts, the situation has never been worse. The NEP is currently being abused so badly that even some malay Malaysians are against it.
So, why is the talk of having racial equality such a taboo, especially when we are supposed to be living in a civilised world? Has it got to do with keeping national unity or has it got to do with arrogance and ignorance?
Many have heard and how we are told that malay Malaysians deserve special rights and privileges. This line of thought is based on the belief that since the malays were here the longest, this is their country and any special treatment is justified.
Although the NEP was originally meant to help the malays with the aim of closing the wealth gap between the Chinese and malay Malaysians, the seeds of racial dominance have inevitably been planted into the minds of many malays.
Today, supporters of malay special rights seldom argue that affirmative action is to support the malays economically. Rather they see it as something they are born with - something inherent that cannot be denied them.
Another argument put forth by the pro-malay special rights group is that, they made a compromise by giving the non-malays their citizenship and in exchange the malays must be given their special privileges.
This last argument is the most ridiculous I have heard thus far but in their ignorance, some Malaysians still think that citizenship is for a certain race to give. This logic would mean that the minorities will always be seen as foreigners who will never be equal to the malays.
Creating a level-playing field does not mean that any race has the right to discriminate against the other races, no matter what the population figures are. This is the message we have to get across to the public and something that must be inculcated in our kids from an early age.
Steps have to be taken now because racial polarisation has only worsened in recent years. The situation will only improve if we lobby the government to change the race-based affirmative action policy to a policy based on income brackets.
This is to ensure that only the most deserving people are given special privileges and not only the malays. There are poor people from every race. It is unfair to continue to provide support to those in the middle and upper classes of our society over those in the lower income group.
It has been more than 30 years since the NEP was introduced. I believe it is time that we worked towards a fairer and more equal system, a system that caters for the different levels that exist in the Malaysia society, without discrimination.
In order for us to compete internationally and to solve problems such as brain drain and national unity, the abuse of the NEP has to stop. No amount of national service can right the wrong done as a result of misusing the NEP.
It is also obvious that if the minorities are the only people to lobby the government, the dream of racial equality will remain a dream. Therefore, I implore Malaysians to rise up together to this challenge, to work against discriminatory policies and to push for good reforms.
Even the government must see that good reforms are viable and necessary for the future of this country and its people.
It comes as no surprise that the teaching of math and science in English is a failure.
The fact is that it is not feasible to teach those two subjects in English as the pupils will have to overcome two obstacles to attain the idea's objectives. The first obstacle is to understand the English language which is foreign to a majority of rural pupils.
Only when they understand English well, can they go on to understand the subject matter. If they don't know English, they will lose interest in the subjects being taught in that language and hence failure in the subjects at a later stage.
Let us hope that the government admits its mistake over the teaching of math and science in English. The sooner the better before another generation of Malaysians are lost in the world of science and technology.
We have already lost our cutting edge due to our rapidly declining standard of English. Let not the situation erode further.
The BN leader speech is written by the government. The government is telling itself what it should do because it doesn't do what it ought to do.
After the speech is read, it is all back to square one - the abuse, corruption, deceit, lie, pilferage, pillage and all that the leader said ought not be done - is done with impunity. Kids, this government is incorrigible. We are fighting a lost cause.
We can only wait a see it self-destruct!
After 49 years of independence, why should the government continue to encourage jealousy between races, and using that as a pretext to allow Umno to enrich themselves?
The 30 years operative plan for NEP should have appeased the 1969 incidents, the cause of which is still yet doubtful, although the government has been brainwashing its people that it was due to so-called inequitable participation and distribution of assets among the various ethnic groups.
It seems to me that the country is moving backward and one day our competitiveness will be as 'sunset'. The sun will not rise again as far as competitiveness is concerned. Everything is tie to the competitiveness.
One of the examples is education. As pure common sense, education system is the top agenda in any country. Once a country plays a fool with it, the country will finished.
Since the current administration is still in denial syndrome, where is our country is heading?
When the country does not operate on sound principles, nothing you can do make our lives better in the long run.
I can't help but to stress times and again the following point. The root causes of all problems facing Malaysians lie in our governance: Lack of accountability, integrity, meritocracy, transparency.
All these problems we are discussing here are really not new. Frankly we can't expect accountability, integrity, meritocracy, transparency to happen naturally. Rightly, we should ask why accountability, integrity, meritocracy, transparency are so lacking in our land.
As I watch this country over the years, there are many fundamental things that we overlooked. Instead, we are merely focusing on the periphery and that is why we never seem to get the country on the right path.
The next is with regard to rule of law. What we have today is rule by law. Increasing we make laws that violet due process, usurp judicial review and erode human rights.
Now, if all these are not right, how then can we have accountability, integrity, meritocracy and transparency? Remember the phrase: 'power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely'. Fix the fundamentals; the rest will fall in place.

That will go soon……….not totally, but it won't be at the present rate it props the country up. And it is closer than you think.
Those who can should emigrate and get the hell out - and that includes our malay brothers and sisters who have the means to. When the dust settles, no amount of cyber cities, longest bridges and tallest buildings, are going to save you from the disaster of a fourth world country that is being developed.
I am one of the cows applying for migration. How do I feel? I feel that the world is my home. If I am not treated well here, I will go to another country.
It is not about fighting for the country or fighting for the world. I am fighting for a better life and that is what everyone craves for.
Anyway why limit ourselves to one country when we can explore to other places. We only leave once, make the best out of it.
Well, the most popular countries to emigrate are Australia, New Zealand and USA. For those who wanted to emigrate to any of these countries and not prepare to pay the extra migration agent fees should consider apply themselves, it is not difficult as long as you meet the respective country criteria.
I know because I am an migrant myself and I helped my friends to emigrate to all those countries in the past three years.
Migration is not a dirty word and will never be. Even migrating birds migrate for reasons of weather and food.
The long lost word "patriotism" is only an empty world for the politicians to achieve their agenda. If that is not true, then there would not be incidents we heard as follows:
1. Minister got caught in Australia airport with bags of undeclared millions.
2. Minister open bank accounts in Europe after retirement.
3. Minister son's multimillion mansion in Canada put up for sale after intrusion of thieves.
Well, even he is with a hidden agenda, can it be any worse than the current arrogant and unabashed abuse of power, an indifferent electorate, a muffled and depleted opposition party, a pliant press, rampant corruption and systemic dismantling of the vestiges of judiciary!
Ministers send their children to school overseas meanwhile they want the rest to attend the so-called national schools and they could shamelessly say, that is an individual choice.
Graduates from local "U" need to attend additional training course so that to tailor for the job offered. A figure of 90% unemployed graduates from local "U" and RM20 billion loans not recovered from local graduates.
What is the actual problem of the higher education in Malaysia?
BN has done a lot of damage in our education system. After 48 years of independence, the standard of education in Malaysia is getting lower and lower. The academic standards of local universities are not recognized by the foreign countries. Our local graduates are unemployed totaling to 60000.
What could BN cherish its achievements in education?
Now with the incompetence everywhere in the country, e.g. like not even one doctor can perform a simple resuscitation among the 50 doctors who attend a so-called medical conference. Do you think you want to ask your children to come back Malaysia to learn from these third-rate masters? The country has slowly loosed its skill and knowledge without even realizing it.
Until today, the argument of whether to use Chinese, English or Malay to teach science and mathematics still continues. The difference in knowledge vs. time is exponential and not linear and we have lost so much time already.
We do not have to look far, just look at Singapore and Malaysia since after both got independence.
Education is an important investment for the children and many people will get all means to achieve the end. It is a kind of if we can't get one to the mountain, we will get mountain to the one.
People migrate simply for the reason of equal opportunity and education for the children. Initially they have to sacrifice a lot, like business, job income or property. But ultimately they gain a good future for their children.
We have to consider ourselves that we are global citizens and if we have the extra resources, we are more than willing to contribute to the humanity and those who are in need.
Thanks to the borderless Internet, ICT and globalization, we could today have more choices and to a certain extent, say what we think that is correct.
Malaysia is be a Taliban state! Teaching kids to kill people, preaching hates and angers, chasing away investors with their seditious, racist, insensitive, incendiary, extremist utterances, unfair to non-malays.
Enough is enough!
To all the people out there, Please vote for a change! Vote the opposition! Vote the DAP!
Malaysia, the home to a variety of beliefs, cultures, races and religions comes with its fair share of taboos, most of which originate from religious and superstitions dogma. But there is a taboo that almost all Malaysians recognise, and that is talk about racial equality.
This issue has been discussed over and over, though never openly. Despite rising resentment among the non-malays, the racial status quo has remained as discriminatory as it has been since the birth of the affirmative action policy known as the National Economic Policy (NEP).
No on second thoughts, the situation has never been worse. The NEP is currently being abused so badly that even some malay Malaysians are against it.
So, why is the talk of having racial equality such a taboo, especially when we are supposed to be living in a civilised world? Has it got to do with keeping national unity or has it got to do with arrogance and ignorance?
Many have heard and how we are told that malay Malaysians deserve special rights and privileges. This line of thought is based on the belief that since the malays were here the longest, this is their country and any special treatment is justified.
Although the NEP was originally meant to help the malays with the aim of closing the wealth gap between the Chinese and malay Malaysians, the seeds of racial dominance have inevitably been planted into the minds of many malays.
Today, supporters of malay special rights seldom argue that affirmative action is to support the malays economically. Rather they see it as something they are born with - something inherent that cannot be denied them.
Another argument put forth by the pro-malay special rights group is that, they made a compromise by giving the non-malays their citizenship and in exchange the malays must be given their special privileges.
This last argument is the most ridiculous I have heard thus far but in their ignorance, some Malaysians still think that citizenship is for a certain race to give. This logic would mean that the minorities will always be seen as foreigners who will never be equal to the malays.
Creating a level-playing field does not mean that any race has the right to discriminate against the other races, no matter what the population figures are. This is the message we have to get across to the public and something that must be inculcated in our kids from an early age.
Steps have to be taken now because racial polarisation has only worsened in recent years. The situation will only improve if we lobby the government to change the race-based affirmative action policy to a policy based on income brackets.
This is to ensure that only the most deserving people are given special privileges and not only the malays. There are poor people from every race. It is unfair to continue to provide support to those in the middle and upper classes of our society over those in the lower income group.
It has been more than 30 years since the NEP was introduced. I believe it is time that we worked towards a fairer and more equal system, a system that caters for the different levels that exist in the Malaysia society, without discrimination.
In order for us to compete internationally and to solve problems such as brain drain and national unity, the abuse of the NEP has to stop. No amount of national service can right the wrong done as a result of misusing the NEP.
It is also obvious that if the minorities are the only people to lobby the government, the dream of racial equality will remain a dream. Therefore, I implore Malaysians to rise up together to this challenge, to work against discriminatory policies and to push for good reforms.
Even the government must see that good reforms are viable and necessary for the future of this country and its people.
It comes as no surprise that the teaching of math and science in English is a failure.
The fact is that it is not feasible to teach those two subjects in English as the pupils will have to overcome two obstacles to attain the idea's objectives. The first obstacle is to understand the English language which is foreign to a majority of rural pupils.
Only when they understand English well, can they go on to understand the subject matter. If they don't know English, they will lose interest in the subjects being taught in that language and hence failure in the subjects at a later stage.
Let us hope that the government admits its mistake over the teaching of math and science in English. The sooner the better before another generation of Malaysians are lost in the world of science and technology.
We have already lost our cutting edge due to our rapidly declining standard of English. Let not the situation erode further.
The BN leader speech is written by the government. The government is telling itself what it should do because it doesn't do what it ought to do.
After the speech is read, it is all back to square one - the abuse, corruption, deceit, lie, pilferage, pillage and all that the leader said ought not be done - is done with impunity. Kids, this government is incorrigible. We are fighting a lost cause.
We can only wait a see it self-destruct!
After 49 years of independence, why should the government continue to encourage jealousy between races, and using that as a pretext to allow Umno to enrich themselves?
The 30 years operative plan for NEP should have appeased the 1969 incidents, the cause of which is still yet doubtful, although the government has been brainwashing its people that it was due to so-called inequitable participation and distribution of assets among the various ethnic groups.
It seems to me that the country is moving backward and one day our competitiveness will be as 'sunset'. The sun will not rise again as far as competitiveness is concerned. Everything is tie to the competitiveness.
One of the examples is education. As pure common sense, education system is the top agenda in any country. Once a country plays a fool with it, the country will finished.
Since the current administration is still in denial syndrome, where is our country is heading?
When the country does not operate on sound principles, nothing you can do make our lives better in the long run.
I can't help but to stress times and again the following point. The root causes of all problems facing Malaysians lie in our governance: Lack of accountability, integrity, meritocracy, transparency.
All these problems we are discussing here are really not new. Frankly we can't expect accountability, integrity, meritocracy, transparency to happen naturally. Rightly, we should ask why accountability, integrity, meritocracy, transparency are so lacking in our land.
As I watch this country over the years, there are many fundamental things that we overlooked. Instead, we are merely focusing on the periphery and that is why we never seem to get the country on the right path.
The next is with regard to rule of law. What we have today is rule by law. Increasing we make laws that violet due process, usurp judicial review and erode human rights.
Now, if all these are not right, how then can we have accountability, integrity, meritocracy and transparency? Remember the phrase: 'power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely'. Fix the fundamentals; the rest will fall in place.
