Its Sunday and there is no catering orders, so a relaxing day for yours truly to hang out and do more work on the 100 feet long painting that I had resumed work on at the Muzeum TF, USM. Today's Star News Paper carried the PM's 100 Days of assuming his role as the Leader for Malaysia and this came with 11 promises he had made to implement as gifts for the nation. Another politician's promise? Well what can we do but to accept whatever it is as good Muslims should and that is with faith in the AllMighty that these promises were made by a Muslim leader and thus will be fullfilled. One of the promises made spelled a glimpse of hope for my children future with regard to their future status under the title; "Clearing the backlog of Citizenship application." Insha'Allah if this not another empty promise than there is a glimpse of hope yet for me and my kids that I can rest easier once their papers are in order.
Allah be praised, even if this does not come into being I got the feeling that at last the government is waking up and trully waking up to the call of the Rakyat in meeting their needs. No promises of highrises or out of this world mosques or temples to be constructed in the near future thank God! No promises of bonuses and increases in salaries for the government servants thank their lucky stars, for this would only create more negative impact than positive for them. No promises made to make it easy for those who run the country but mostly to make life more bearable for the people. Kudos! Mr. Prime Minister but let us witness the delivery of these promises before we shed our tears of joy and gratefullnes. From somewhere in the not so long a distace in time and barely audible I am beginning to hear the echos of the past when promises were made and genuinely delivered the days when respect and loyalty one holds for the leadership was paramount; one of those echos is from the second PM, Tun Razak one of my all time favorites among PMs. If Najib can deliver like his father did Insha'Allah Malaysia has a hope to hope for.
