The State of my Nation.

Malaysians are still being entertained by the latest political drama unfolding in the government and thus far it don't look too good for anybody. Like most, I am not so into politics, however I do pay some attention when the going gets rough. We have never truly suffered as a nation, like Yemen, or Syria or even Bangladesh. The hardest times we had faced was during the Japanese and British occupation of the country during WW2. So we have a death wish that our country faces some kind of tragedy painful enough much more than the May13 of 1969 incident, painful enough to wake us all up from this living in denial of how bad things are as it is for the people and the country itself. It looks like we don't need a war to bring us down, before we can rise again as a coherent nation as it did in the aftermath of the WW2. But we have forgotten, like the man said,"Melayu mudah lupa," nope not only the Malays, Malaysians easily forgets. 

It is my understanding that the elected officials to serve as the government are like employees behind hired to run a business, to fulfill all responsibilities that their elected positions calls for, in short earn your paycheck. To do what you are assigned to do and to fulfill promises you have made towards your constituencies is all we are asking for, the question are you the elected representatives of the government doing your job or not is paramount than to the future of your political career, Stay focus on your the job at hand and serve your people, otherwise you do not deserve your position and you are swindling the Nation and should reflect on what you should do. This is what i naively understand myself where politics is concern. In the seventy years of my life to date, I voted only in the last four General Elections, before that I never took any interest in politics; my bad.

Most of us had watched "Game of Thrones," for political entertainment we do not need anymore local dramas where our  government is concern. For once I ask the politicians to act what their hearts tells them and not what they think they should do for the sake of the people who has laid their faith and trust into your hands. It is sacrilege to say the least to not carry out your duties to the people who elected you because you are too busy taking care of your future in the party. The people are in need of some assurance, some confidence and not repeated versions of the political dramas that they are being forced to witness in helplessness. The people, the environment the very legal system, the education system; wake up and look at what you have done.

I will not contemplate the worse that can happen, however if we are hankering for a bloodbath of a revolution, racial riots and the rest of the doomsday scenario rest assured it might not be an impossibility; a long military rule is not an option. So pick your choice before the people decides to pick one out for you. My hope is that the old fox still has a card or two up his sleeves to outsmart all these chickens into their proper place.
