And who are these "we"? I am refering to the Kuala Trengganu by-election that was won by the opposition party from BN. BN won this seat by a paper thin 600+ margin and now loses it by 2000+ margin. So the changes that people are asking for is still strong from the March 2008 general elections. But it comes back to what is it that we have won and are all of us part of the "we"?
I am not a proponent of BN, that's for sure. With the kind of goobers we have in office, we are better off governed by the inhabitants of our zoo. We were once one of the 4 tigers of Asia together with Singapore, Taiwan and Korea. Now we are a lame, limping, government depending, race totting has been. At best we are an extinct economy. All the good work that was done in the last 20 years are regressing terribly. In this case I have to fault my hero, Tun Dr Mahathir.
I am not delusional to think he was not corrupted but he had the decency to ensure the country and its people is taken of. In a new country like Malaysia, full democracy will not work. We do need some despot to be brave enough to make tough decisions for the country and lead people to the next level. We don't need despots like Suharto or Marcos who have sucked the country dry for their own well being and have left the people in poverty. I don't mind that a politician is corrupted but as long as the country and people prosper, everyone wins in the long run.
However, Tun Mahathir has made a terrible mistake and for the situation in the country now, I hold him accountable. He had all the power within to set it right and he gave it to the most incompetent dwarves of all....Sleepy and Dopey. Now we are stuck with this comedic team who has all kinds of assholes (that's right, I said it!!!!) running the show for them. From making a mockery out of our justice system to slander and murder.
Our opposition is no better. PAS thinks they are truly blessed people of God or Allah by interpreting the Quran to their own believes and power. They think by telling Muslim kids not to play with non-Muslim kids is Islamic and what Allah has preached. They think raping their daughters is ok or raping is not their fault when the raped woman is pretty. She had it coming!
DAP is all about making noise and whining when things don't go their way. They now have a chance to govern a state and all they do is whine. I have yet to read a good thing they are doing in helping Penangites keep their jobs or ensuring that the MNC factories stay here and not uproot because of Sleepy and Dopey.
PKR is all about ensuring Anwar becomes PM so that he can stick it to his former employers and masters. Come on guys, he came from the system. He got greedy in 1998 and wanted to become PM then and got burned BIG time. I won't even talk about his bi-sexuality. Nothing PKR done has helped any of us. First it was about the petrol price which the government very cleverly just lowered according to world price. Then it was about MPs jumping ships. I don't want those MPs if they are looking to jump after the people voted for them!
Now, it's all silence. Nothing anyone has said looks to helping our country in our time of need. I feel very sad for us and it will get worse when more people leave and less investments comes in. So don't tell me we have won. They day I see some serious actions in driving palm oil usage, oil royalty money used wisely, manufacturing of unique products like plastic, chemicals and bio-science and a clear strategy on how we intend to leverage the MSC to build our service industry, its the day we win something.
Now we are just losing out mile by mile against our neighbours and whether it is Dopey as PM or Anwar, we are just as screwed. So, we should follow the Americans and be brave enough to face change. Someone who can put together multiple races and truly, truly knows how to live is multiple different cultures. Only a Chindian can save us now.
