The ones who want to change the system are the ones who are with the system many moons back. So just how changed are they to make changes in this lifetime ? Or may be those are not changes but the same old things in another form and in another way ? If you look at the organisation chart, there are so many civil servants with their beautiful photos and their long titles and names and actually what you see is red tape and bureaucracy. If there are so many people around and so many hands handling one job, you can be sure that the job will not be done as it will be passed around like the passing parcel game. And when one civil servant sees and knows that other civil servants are doing direct sales, insurance and involves in corruption and this person is getting rich, why should this civil servant be so different from others ? Remember the saying " if you can't beat them, join them ". How many years does a civil servant work ? Say if you start at 20 years of age and given 55 years as retirement age, you only have 35 years. What do you think you can achieve in these 35 years bearing in mind that only chosen ones can excel in the service and some are purposely left out of the picture ? So if you don't take care of yourself, you think the government will take care of you ? And if the new government delivery system focuses on only the new civil servants, then the old civil servants are neglected and ignored. They have not even reach their ripe retirement age and yet they are made to feel irrelevant already. They feel that it is senja already and almost time to close shop. No wonder everyone is taking early retirement. Experienced old civil servants going out and finding new pastures. Yet this new government delivery system is started out by the old civil servants including the P.M. himself. So just how new is the system ? If you want a truely new system, everyone from the P.M. down to the grassroots should be new people who do not know a thing and who start from scratch. So there is nothing that is so new. It is new because it starts from people with no experience, with no ideas in their present work but with what they know already in their previous position, they bring it to their new position now and so just how new is new ? Traditions can make us more vulnerable to corruption. That is why the words " ang pow " mean more than just good wishes. It is wishing that you give more money. The King cannot show any power because he has no power. He can only say and influence.

However, we arent in a sci-fi world. Corruptible practise has turn into a massacre of wealth, where once corruptible practise are being behind closed doors negotiation now has become a demand and a defacto way of doing business.
