Politicians

Dear Malaysian politicians,

I would like to ask you to ask your own conscience (if you so happen to have a tiny bit left) – what are the reasons you join politics? To me, politicians should be leaders of the community, the society, the rakyat. Politicians should have a definite stand on issues, based on your knowledge and experiences. We expect you to lead us with a moral voice, a clear vision and direction as to what changes or things that you want to happen in our country. But all I see is destruction of the very foundation that our forefathers built.

You claim that this country is a model of tolerance and unity. But your eyes are akin to those of tinted glasses; you can’t see us who are different.

You claim that the nation is prosperous under your leadership. But all I could see is poor people still living on the streets while your coffers just seem to grow larger and larger by the minute.

You claim that this no leader is indispensable and that everyone should leave when their time comes. But you do not leave even after support for your leadership has waned.

You claim to want to develop our nation. But how developed could our country be if you single-handedly brought up a whole generation of narrow-minded people, just like you?

Where is your conscience?

  3. Politicians...

    Malaysian politics is not much different from any of the most corrupted nations like rwanda or uzbezkistan.

    Making profits out of their own citizens is their main concern.
    Being a VIP politikus in Malaysia means you are entitled to Rasuah, Rompak or even Murder without being prosecuted.


    Imagine, while thousands of average income families are struggling each and everyday to survive, and these people can live in mansions and drive sport cars.


    However, by playing racial cards, Barisan Nasional managed to fool Malaysians for more than 50 years.... Isnt it sad?


    First time leaving comments here... Nice writings:)
