RealWorld,

From your response dated August 27th, 2007 at 10:31.07, I can only deduce that you are a rich, aged Malay who is able to travel and see the world. It’s apparent that you’ve already tasted enough sweeties from bn, hence you want the peace you’re enjoying now to last.

Just know that there are still 95% of Malaysians who don’t get to live your life. In fact, the majority of which are even struggling to just make ends meet.

Of course, compared to other African countries like Ghana, Malaysia fares way much better. But that should not be our yardstick. Granted, if the government has already tried its best for the rakyat, and the rakyat are still struggling, then there’s nothing to grumble about. But that’s not the case here. Do you know how many rural areas can be developed by the billions and billions of Ringgit sucked up by bn? If bn were serious about the welfare of the rural Malays, the entire Malay family would not have died of candlelight fire, due to their inability to pay tenaga bills. We have IDR, PKFZ, NCER, MSC, ABCDEFGH…, etc., and we also have many families not able to foot their tenaga bill, just think of the irony.

You mentioned this:
“You see everythig in racial terms, dont you? Oh well, I wonder what the Australians (if you do go Oz ) will feel when they have a minority who is a racist coming over.”

All my friends who have migrated to Australia, share the same opinion that Australia is indeed a much better place than Malaysia. They are not perturbed by what race is governing them. It can be Malay, Aussie, British, Bangladesh, etc., so long as the government is just. There is of course discrimination, it exists everywhere. It’s human nature. The difference is, how well the government manages it.

I certainly don’t want a dpm who stirs racial tension by bringing up 717 declaration, and says “All of you shut up, you are just stirring racial tension!”. I also don’t want an education minister who promises to bathe the keris with Chinese blood. If this is what you call peace, then I’m speechless.

RealWorld,

Yes, it’s definitely not a crime that you get to travel and see the world. And I might have been out of line saying that you’ve tasted enough sweeties from bn. You did mention that you worked in an MNC before. So, you were from the private sector, not government sector. My apologies up front.

But you still need to realize that you’ve been blessed by a good education that you’ve had (I’m assuming), that eventually gets you into an MNC. However, not every Malaysian has that good fortune. Most of whom are either groomed to walk with a crutch for too long, or are deprived of education opportunities, as promised by bn. You can’t equate your good surrounding to a blessed nation, ‘cause everything else is definitely not good.

With the recent mega scandals, Negarakuku, Syariah Laws for Common Laws, Keris incident, C4, rapes, bocor tiap2 bulan, corruption within the police force, the “all clean verdict” incident, something is extremely wrong. If you still consider this as “all rosy and well”, then I can only say you’ve got a tidak-apa attitude.

“You talked about the majority of Malaysians struggling to make ends meet. Well, tell me what are the alternatives out there??”
Answer: This is a no-brainer. bn has got more than sufficient funds, in the tens of billions, to fix this problem. But they’re not doing anything. Mega-project bailouts followed by Mega-project bailouts. A lot of money is also thrown into deals protected under OSA, and it’s as good as gone. Alternatives? Boot bn out.

“How are you lot in the DAP, PAS & PKR gonna govern and administer the country when you lot are not even in agreement?”
Answer: For Malaysia, agreement in administration is the breeding ground for bribery and daylight robbery, my friend.

“If what you claimed is true, how come the past results in the GE dont seem to validate your claims? 91% mandate in the last GE, remember?”
Answer:
1. This is due to muzzled press.
2. This is due to ghost voters / postal vote manipulation. This point is rendered null and void if dr. m is lying.
3. This is due to rm50 to rm200 for one Malay vote. This point is rendered null and void if dr. m is lying.
4. Voter distribution. Tell me RealWorld, have you ever looked at the percentage of voters who actually voted for bn in the past election? It’s not even anywhere near 91%.
When it comes to good governance, bn has obviously failed. But for cheating and manipulation, it’s a totally different story…

“Obviously, you are unable to explain what the Opposition has to offer.”
Answer: How do you know? In fact, what can they do? Every single motion the Opposition try to push through the Parliament has been turned down by the coalition of the puppeteer and all his puppets. Unlike bn, the Opposition don’t have the national coffer at their disposal. The Opposition won’t be able to perform, if we, the electorate, don’t give them a chance.

“Well, when you wanna take a risk, do make sure it is a calculated one.”
Answer: For your information, I too work in an MNC, and I always consider the ROI for every decision I make. As freemalaysia puts it, there’s a fine balance that we have to seek – whether we vote for bn, and very likely have imminent chaos turned into reality, or go the other direction, and risk an unstable government. Unstable government that is the Opposition aside, the flip-side of a government made out of loose marriage of convenience, is that each component will constantly watch over their back for possible back-stabbing, and hence will result in more transparency.

I guess my decision is pretty self-explanatory.
