I've been very occupied while celebrating so many events since I last wrote my post here. Malaysians glorify many new years and at this moment, I am moved to scribble some words.
We have seen many incidents recently, which might be some kind of provocative measures by some irresponsible individuals, just to make news. They might also intend to divert us from addressing the more important issues. Some of the issues that I can think of for now are:
- to improve our economy by stopping the subsidies, or
- to make the roads in Malaysia "pothole-less" all the time, or
- to promote Carbon capture and storage (CCS) and alternative environmental friendly technologies
- and more...
I know the PM said People First and Performance Now, but I am not sure whether our PM has the means to deliver. His supporters, mainly the Cabinet, are not very proactive and this leads to non-accomplishment of the true meaning of that phrase. The politicians are too keen to get the people's support that they even make a big issue our of nothing. "That's why they are politicians!", many a remark made at coffee shops. I find that to be true especially when I read their many statements that make me go "Ah, come on la ___(name)! What is this?".
Perhaps the people of Malaysia can move together to turn the politicians heads to look at more pressing issues. Lets start to clear the air and be more compassionate. Be fair to ourselves and others. Celebrate the bond as Malaysians. Xin Nian Kuai Le
