run-up to GE 13..poltical renaissance, are we ready?

 
Yes, we are. This is the time. It's ripe and waiting. 

I remember reading a book way back in my teens, the then Russian President said, hinting at Tito's Yugoslavia, "Yugoslavia is a ripe plum. When it falls, it will fall on Russia's lap."  And some years later into the future, Yugoslavia did fall. History says that well.

Does the above sound anywhere similar to the political backdrop here in Malaysia today? It may be close and it may fall many say. Don't you think 54 years is quite a long time for one party, one race to helm and rule.

The other factor; Malaysians don't need to go to the polls to decide. A truly care worthy government after 50 plus plus years should gracefully render its resignation and let new blood, new party, new people to take over the leadership. But such 'backdrops' don't happen even if that's the best recipe. Some party want to rule forever. Isn't that like when you have grown old and redundant, but keep ditching out outdated promises and nonsense logic?

But, rule they want forever. They want to reap and rape every thing over and over again in their path and swell their bank accounts. They want to plunder the already poor and silent the masses with their brute race arrogance and puny doctrines.

The present ruling government have indeed grown strong, in fact too strong one can't even shackle them. They are now talking of revoking citizenship of individuals who they say are here to create trouble and disharmony. Such low and depleted thinking. 

They think and speak as owners of Gods. They invoke hell fury on protesters, incarcerate dissidents without trials and give hell to make one shiver. Their governance is all about cronyism and somewhat hegemony. This they call government and say they need another five more years to straighten up all their flaws. And the saddest part is most Malaysians actually believe in them. There is saying - if you can't bend a bamboo when young, you can never bend it when its old. 

We're already 13 years into the 21st century. I believe once there was trust upon them to look after the welfare of the nation but we were wronged. Now they make and bake the nation with their whatever they think is right irregardless to what the people want. Is this what we want? Is this what our children should look-up for? In the name of race (over and over again) the present government has insidiously ostracized what others have worked hard to garner only to see all efforts gone futile and into the drain.

Time after time they champion their race but to what extent. Even today many can't fathom simplicity. Sadly to say, the champions here never win medals. They make thyself the masters and the others slaves.

In fact, I ask - who are you to play God? Who are you to decide what we need for ourselves, our children and our generation.

Seriously, it's time to change. Someone prominent recently said, they'll be an Arab spring in Malaysia if the opposition loses to gain and form a new Government. I don't know if this former statesman is senile or daydreaming. Or maybe he has begun to fear his own shadow.

Arab spring or not, when are the polls?
