Mandate. man·date noun. an authorization to act given to a representative. Mirriam-Webster Dictionary.
For most Malaysians election time is the best time. Things improve, government services suddenly get better overnight (depending whos your government), road portholes get repaired, and the city gets new traffic lights. Its also the best time to ask for government loans, housing development grants and bank credit.
And it only happens during election time.
Its like one certain dacing party is trying to bribe the people to vote for them. When oh when will they learn that its not the material things that matter, or that building new highways is the most important thing? Not that i'm dissing new schools and hospitals (which are great), but then the rest of the year the hospital is understaffed, forgotten, with only a handful of doctors....until the next election comes around. How do i know this? Just 2 weeks ago dacing tried to win Kelantan's votes by telling them how their state government didn't build a single mosque the whole time they were in power, focusing the bullet of their campaign in Kelantan based on that fact alone.
....we are the SAME and we want peace
and harmony just as much as Abu,
Ah Kow and Aru does....
Again our dear leader is calling for a mandate from the people. Someone PLEASE get him some better scriptwriters. Every time its the same thing over and over. Why do we even bother voting? its always going to be the same result. As I say "HAAAH?? *censored* sure get vote again la! sure abdullah become pm again.." Aiyo... calling the PM "our dear leader" is a somewhat throwback to the communist regime of "their dear leader" Chairman Mao.
Psychologists (and i am one!) say that asking for a mandate while at the same time being guaranteed the country's leadership position is a pure fracas. An act to get the people to think they have power in their hands to decide the countries fate. And in a way we do. but only up to a certain point. after all, isn't that whats democracy all about? Last years political science course taught me that our system is flawed. Its set-up to ensure the ruling power stays in power. Take out tv stations for example. You'll never see the PAS or rocket on government channels (even though they constitute our government!) but you'll always see the dacing.
And already a lot of people are saying that the Hindraff had the right idea, just the wrong execution. How long before some other group comes up with the right idea and the right methodology?
....calling the PM "our dear leader" is a somwhat throwback to the communist regime of "their dear leader" Chairman Mao....
For the sake of racial harmony, please bring back debates about racial segregation, bumi rights and other stuff. No, we are not the barbaric type that will resort to violence and another May 13. Malaysia thrives on tolerance and harmony, and the people know it. We wouldn't risk a civil war because we are the top businessmen and economy wheel-turners and we need the stability to profit. We are the common penduduk who knows that our income and education stems from harmony. And we are the parents and children that need the peace for a crime free environment. Please la... we are the SAME and we want peace and harmony just as much as the Abu, Ah Kow and Aru does.
Having been in Australia i can see the results of having two major parties in opposition. Sure, it might not be perfect, but its a whole lot better than what we have accomplished. And thats one of the reasons why Malaysians are flying away. The government counters by complaining of brain drain. How can it be brain drain if our tertiary education is done overseas and not even from the country? Most of the lucky ones manage to go overseas for further studies.
Hah. The current government says that we do have a choice. Some choice. We get to choose between an Islamic extremist party and one absolute power party. Both stiffen our rights. Both encourage segregation, only difference is one more so than the other. And even DAP is not fully capable to run a country. No choice lo.. have to stick with BN.
"there should be only one race.
Malaysians."
They've gotten sloppy. In the next few weeks leading up to the election expect the news to include different crimes and how our wonderful police force handled it, more and more crimes and how our government is trying they're best to control it. Because yes, the newspapers are also partly controlled too.
Give me a government that encourages civilised debates, real freedom of speech, and an impartial media. Already the US might see a female president in Hillary. We probably will never have one (Or when our wonderfully integrated football team wins the world cup). Give me a leader that knows that to progress we must not give unearned benefits (30% of EVERY business in Malaysia is given to Malays!), and that building a strong country takes hard work, not free handouts. We need integration, not a segregation of races. There should be only one race. Malaysians.
And then i'll definitely vote for him or her.
