Malaysian Politics...where are we heading?

One more blogger .. Kickdefella... has been arrested. I read his posts off and on. He is the guy who is embroiled with the 'fly the national upside down' thingy. Those in the power seem to think that is seditious!!

Then the swapping of portfolios between the DPM and PM. Now the DPM will be holding the Finance Ministry and the PM, Defence. What does this imply?? The precursor to bringing in the armed forces??

And Anwar is now deemed a threat to national security and economy. What has he done? I think there were many who did not really like him but the more silly things they do to him, the more people are seeing him being persecuted. Look at it this way...if the country is well run, would the people flock to the alternative? People start looking for the alternative when the present does not meet up to their expectations and needs.

While BN is touted as a coalition of parties, it behaves like a single party. The country has been divided ever since the British colonialists days. We were divided by race first and foremost and policies are formed and executed along that line. What is so wrong about being a single entity...different races but one single entity? What is so wrong about doing the right thing? Cos if we hang on to just doing the right thing....actually nothing should go wrong. Those who are helped deserve it, those who merit the rewards of their hard work...they also deserve it...but by all means, do what is right, not do based on prerequisites such as race or religion. Is there anything so wrong about that? Give to the people what is due to them...that is the mark of good leadership...

Martin Luther King Jr's .... I Have A Dream would be apt...

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

Oil prices is still heading southward...touching USD$90...but still no sign of the benefits trickling down to the people. Instead, we are told that Petronas will earn less. Sigh!
(Incidentally, if oil prices go down..then electricity tariff also should go down a bit...then Tenaga would also earn less!)
