Whenever it comes to the socio-political situation back home, I’ve always been extrovert, and indeed many who are around me can attest to that. Whenever I was to condemn the stupidity of someone; it’s always been head on, no holds barred. Today, I find myself constantly gravitating into the shit-hole that holds Malaysia from achieving her true potential.
Discrimination, Apartheid, Non-secular, Incompetent, and Stupid has been just some of the terms thrown out to describe the government. How much of these are rather true? Let’s examine the facts.
The Bar Council of Malaysia, a somewhat docile (In a sense that they never hold rallies beyond the Humans Right Day’s walk [December 10th, I think, they walk 1 day prior to this]) and rarely do ever show out their concerns (They’ve taken it to the streets before, and only when shit _really_ hits the fan) took a momentous march from the Palace of Justice to the Prime Ministers office to submit a memorandum demanding the PM to do his job instead of sleeping, or spending tax dollars on vacation, to set up a Royal Commission to investigate the Judicial System which has been plagued by reports of Judge fixing and corruption (nothing surprising in Malaysia).
The de facto Law Minister Nazi, is an imbecile; and chooses to respond in what the current CJ (then) had to say; Basically denying the whole thing (Homie, If there’s a video circulating around with you in deep shit, it would help to elucidate your case than to merely deny the whole thing). To add insult to injury, he has the balls to say there is no need to reform this corrupt system. The PM’s Son-In-Law follows like a good Lap dog. I do not know how the PM (Who was once called Mr. Clean) can sleep at night knowing of this blatant corruption? He shrugs it off (perhaps ill-advised by his advisers?) and sets up a powerless team of 3 homies who would explore the case. When the 3 homies submit their decision that a Royal Comission needs to be set in, first Nazri denies, then the PM says Ok (A process that could have been Ok-ed earlier).
Fast forward, we have the BERSIH march kicking in (Coalition for Free and Fair Elections). Since Malaysia is a democracy-practicing nation that is good at breaking stupid records and achieving pointless feats, we defy the Constitution that allows us the freedom to march to show our discontent. Instead, chemical-laced water and tear gas are fired at protesters. Regardless, the memorandum is succesfully passed to the King’s representative, but no action has been taken since.
More recently, we’ve had HINDRAF (Hindu’s Rights Action Force) doing a march over the marginalized Indians. Whilst their claims in the memorandum are sometimes exceedingly exaggerated, you cannot blame a cornered dog; whose moves you cannot predict. Having no more viable options, they placed a 4 Trillion US lawsuit towards the British Government for bringing Indians to Malaysia and not setting up a proper system in which they would end up being marginalized. We all know the whole reason for this ridiculous suit is to garner international attention to their pleas. On the day of their march, more chemical-laced water, and tear gas fired. Almost 50 people were detained, some charged.
The next part is the best;
The very next day, the PM announces he’s glad that the public have confidence and are happy with the way he is leading the nation, based on a survey from NST (mainstream media, fully controlled by the government; read: lapdogs). PM, bangun dan tengok, boleh? Who in their right mind still has confidence with your leadership?
Anyways, this is Malaysia and we’ll live another day to achieve another stupid thing, maybe we’ll send a tourist to the moon (Oh wait! We’ve already done that). What I do know is, as long as people in Malaysia are discriminated by their creed and colour, the country is doomed to fail. I don’t disagree with the notion of having NEP, however, I am fully disappointed with how it is carried out. I do not understand why we need draconian laws like ISA, OSA and other assorted rubbish, perhaps to sweep skeletons under the rug? I don’t understand why we have the MAIN STREAM MEDIA, clearly they’re pointless, and only publish what the government allows them to. Journalistic ethics? Kiss my ass. And I must be really really stupid because I do not understand the need to have 3 seperate parties derived from their respective races, joined to form one party? Sure it helps vote fishing from the relevant races, but honestly, how do you expect something like this to succeed?
Asking people to vote in the upcoming GE isn’t going to help much, considering the vote rigging, and phantom votings? Don’t cha know, we’ve got 120 year old folks voting in Malaysia on a regular basis. The latest turn of event, they want to edit the constitution again (40th time, perhaps? in 50 years of nationhood. America amended it’s Constitution maybe 27 times, and Singapore, twice). Apparently, the legal retiring age for the top-honkie in the Election Comission is 65, which he is due to hit this december 31st. Now, BN is pushing to change it into 66, which would allow this head honcho to oversee the next GE which is rumoured to hit early next year. The current chief has alot of allegation against his bias-ness towards the government but mehhh, who gives a shit about that.
