My two cents worth of Politic in Malaysia

And how about the Malaysian Political scene, how do I as an elderly citizen feel about it? Well into becoming a mega circus like everyone is helplessly hoping not to. Most apparently is the mud-slinging against each other at the highest level. The word kleptocracy has become a common word to mean the dirtiest of actions taken by the out going ruling party; especially by the former Prime Minister Tun Mahathir who accuses the exiting PM as being a thief, a swindler among other even worse  who sounding in Malay. This is to me not very professional even for a politician and especially one who the Nation revered as a former Prime. Then the attack on Mahathir's past trying to discredit the old doctor of his Nationality as though it matters to the old man anymore at his age. It is a mockery and it defies intelligence. Like I said, shit is about to hit the fan as the circus has begun- just send in the clowns.

If the trend persist more dramas will be played out and no man women or child escapes its repercussions. Malaysians can expect to witness a wave of change for better or for worse, Whichever side wins it will be a loss for the country as a whole, the damage has already begun at all levels and into the very fabric of the nation's  faith and trust in itself. The way I see it Malaysian political leaders has a great deal of soul searching to do when they run for office in the upcoming election. One of which the issue of ethics and integrity, who can truly be trusted to to manage this country's affairs and bring her back on track at least economically. The more you accuse and point your fingers the less effective and convincing you become; who can we trust to do a professional job; the country need experts not clowns and crowd pleasers and smart manipulators; we ask of an oyou to prove your credentials and mantle before you take an oath of office; the ship is sinking, we need good sailors. What else can I say about the political scene h 
ere, perhaps it is not all the gloomy, perhaps we Malaysians are more smarter than we look. Perhaps we have it within us to call collectively, young and old from all walks of life, in solidarity to awaken our potential candidates from both sides to make a ,covenant with the people  an oath to serve and not be served?
