the Empire strikes back

Haiihhh.. first of all, forgive me for such a bad title, I just could not find a better title for this entry.

Well, in the previous post, i pasted a link to the video in which one of the Malaysian prominent politicians was behaving inappropriately while delivering his speech.

And well it seems like that was not the only time he was behaving inappropriately while in the public. In this video, the same person was making an "obscene gesture" to the oppositions during a rally (which i am not pretty sure what is was), and which I consider, or any reasonable person would consider as rude and absurd. Ok, he was provoked by the oppositions, but he should realize that he is the man in power, and he should use his brain, not emotions. Sooner or later, the oppositions could well manipulate this to their own advantage.haihh.. YB. where are your manners YB, your manners..so is this what we called as Islam Hadhari?? hehe.. By acting as what he did in the video, the politician is not much different from the commoners, in fact much worse than that, all people in that video at least did not misbehave, except for him.haihh

Ok fine, i am one emotional person too, and can easily lose my nerves when being provoked.And i know that everyone has their own setbacks, right? nobody is perfect. but for God's sake he IS a menteri besar, people are watching him and what the hell was he thinking when he made that kind of gesture.He should not have done that in the first place, just imagine what would happen if this was to be telecast by the local TV?(though i believe this would never happen)

haihhh.. this is why I think we should have a live telecast of the Parliament proceedings, so that the MPs would behave well in the Parliament, would not make sarcastic "monkey remarks", or being racist to one and another , and the public could expect a better quality of Parliamentary debate, and which they do not discuss on such trivial matters such as dress code and stuff, but instead focusing on more important agenda for the nation. Well, at the very end on the day, people would be more than happy knowing that their precious tax money are being put for a good use and do not simply go into the drain.

Anyway I just read this one entry on the Jasin MP alleged corruption case, and I guess everyone should take their sweet time reading it too, just for the sake of knowing what is happening with Malaysian politics nowadays.

I wonder if people even give a damn about this. Well, let us just wait and see. Sarawak state election is coming up this saturday, and this could be the benchmark of Pak Lah's popularity. I am saying this with full confidence that the oppositions shall not be able to topple to current state government, for obvious reason, that they were contending in less that fifty percent of the total seats ( DAP only 12, while PAS only 1). But if they were to gain more than what they did before ( they won only 2 seats during the last election, one DAP and one independent candidate), I hope this would be a wake up call to Pak Lah's administration to take up serious measures before it gets too late. It seems like the blog kingdoms have got more entries on politics nowadays, mostly voicing their dissatisfaction and discontent on the current affairs, the petrol price hike, the widening income gap between the rich and the poor and how things are managed in Malaysia. I wonder how would Pak Lah's react if he knows how discontented people are with his administration. Come on Pak Lah, you can do it!!


NOTE: Seriously, I am in no position of arguing on this, considering my lack of knowledge on Malaysian politics, and because I realise the government sent me here to study, not to learn of how to criticise them. Neither I am one big fan of the opposition parties, because when it comes to politics, i stand on the neutral ground. Whatever I say and might say is just a matter of my own personal view, which largely based on my own readings and interpretations.
