What's Going On with Malaysian's Politic Today?

First, I'd rather be careful with my writings as excessive comments may put me in unnecessary risk of being detained under the ISA (Internal Security Acts).

To my kind readers, be reminded that these are just my 2 cents.

Yeah I knew by heart that the world is not fair and full of hypocrites. But anyhow, I do feel like speaking my mind after years of unspoken opinions over this matter. It may sound generic but I do have my points.

In my honest opinions, let's get back to basics.

1. What politicians should know about the people?

- We don't care who's up there as long as our welfare are being taken care of.

- People want a peace & stable country, it is good for business.

- People want prices of goods maintained at reasonable rate, in good ratio with our monthly average income.

- People want the Government to enhance the quality of public services and amenities.

- People want more opportunities to enhance their income, life quality as well as their lifestyles.

- Anything that is good for the country, the people will support.

2. What should the politicians do?

- Win the people's heart. Do the right things, please! We are tired of too much chronism issues.

- Bring back the principle of "Wakil Rakyat" ; leader who works for the people, with the people. Not only during elections.

- Maintain a clean image with less scandals (no scandal may sound too ideal). We knew that no one's perfect, therefore minor defects are acceptable.

- Walk the talk. Do it when you say it.

- Create a Vision. Lead the people to a common goal, say a revised Vision 2020.

3. What else should the politicians know?

- Most Malaysians now are borned post-Independance era (after 1957). Hence, it is not easy to remind them the hardships of the older generations. It is the future that matters.

- The country is full of young blood, hip hop and westernized mindsets due to the internet borderless world phenomenon. Hence, new approach is inevitable or else...

- The young generations are hardly interested in political scandals and gossips. Most understood on what is happening and all they need is a dynamic leader who can walk the talk.

- It is indeed challenging to lead the country with more and more sophisticated people and generation being breeded, hence being weak is not an option.

So, be it. If we don't have a leader who has a genuine interest in leading this country sincerely and proficiently, we will surely fumble and scuffle. Not to mention the 'ready to bake' sensitive issues on races, equality and indigenous citizenships. So leaders, listen to this, do something and we shall remain united and prosper.

In short, I do hope (since it's not within my control) that our upcoming new Premier will do all the good things for the people as well as the country. "Take care" on those who have shown undivided support to you all these while, but do not forget the reason why you are there in the first place. It is all about managing and leading the people towards prosperity and unity that matters in the long run.

Win the people's heart and you shall have their undivided support, too.
