Of Politics and Me BWAHAHAHAHA

I'm back, people!!

I know you all missed me much~

Honestly, I'm surprised. After Streamyx somewhat abandoned my line for 3 weeks, the first thing I'm actually BLOGGING about is Malaysian politics. Wow.

The not-so recent politicking in Perak, scandals, morally wrong doings and finger pointing incidents in Malaysia really did surprise me much, as I never expected our 51-year old Malaysia as to still be embroiled into something as fickle as local politics - ever since the show of democracy by its citizens almost a year ago - when practically the rest of the world is putting their heads together to end this recession. In times of a crippling global economy, the only thing our higher-ups can do... is to bicker among our brothers and sisters of the nation - over who has the right to rule over who?

I'm certainly not a political analyser, heck, I'm still as green as a pea in Sains Politik, BWAHAHAHAHA, but even I realise how our dearest nation is taking the torturously, long road into becoming a fully matured democratic nation. Look at the other side of the globe. A BLACK has taken over the Whitehouse! And nobody is complaining - because our current economic situation totally overlooks all colour and skin quabbles. A bit late for this, but: Kudos to all ye brave Americans for putting your trust into a change that you can believe in!

Everybody else in this world of ours is taking the bite of the financial crisis seriously: big companies are cutting salaries and some millions have been given the axe. But here we are, divided, segregated beyond any immediate cure - demonstrating on the streets, finger pointing at each other, pulling on the strings of others' wrongdoings, invading one's personal life, and most of all - quabbling incessantly over all this trivial politics that sees no end.

Personally, to me, so what if Perak has two MBs? So what if someone has two wives? So what if somebody is involved in some scandal? Honestly, does all of these interfere with one's capabilities to serve the people? Why can't politicians compromise with one another to tend to the woes of the public? Are we so fixated upon what is morally wrong that we forget even to respect the privacy of others? My points may seem immature and irrelevant: but at least I'm not forgetting the essentials that bring about a nation. Those very essentials that elected our 'trusted' representatives to voice out their cries.

And that boils it all down to our one major problem: Politicians, to me, seem to have forgotten that they are here to serve the rakyat! Have we not voiced out loud enough that we are tired of these endless tirades that occur because the opposition and the ruling party have different political stands? Enough is enough; we have said, yet and yet again. But it seems to fall on deaf ears.

I sure hope it doesn't fall on blind eyes.

I wish politicians would be less self-immersed, and that they choose to become politicians not because of power but because they genuinely believe in a secular democracy that prioritises the needs of those they serve. That they truly stand for the rights of the people with nothing less than a firm anchorage on freedom and justice based on our Constitution. That they do not possess the self-centered mentality that would lead this beautiful country - that I have grown to love - to ruins.

There would be no need for politicians if there's no country to govern!

I am hoping to see a change in the direction things are heading for our dearest nation in due time. Prominent leaders must take necessary measures to steer the country back towards the path of maturity and success before the people are broken even further apart. Respect for the rakyat's needs and choices must be put high above all.

This is sincerely based on my own humble opinion, erm... well, actually, integrated with those of the other 'Anak Malaysia' out there who really care for our country. Somehow, I hope that the cries of all bloggers and the rakyat, in general, will be heard... or rather, read.

The time has come for a paradigm shift that holds promises for a hollistic change - a change that will see Malaysia gearing up for, and celebrating in - success.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
