run up to GE13: what great truth!!..the Malaysian Government.

Extract from another blog..

5 May Malaysians will poll to decide the best Government for the next five years. There could be a million and one reason to obligate their rights to choose who and what they want.

The one salient question one should ask before polling is : What do we want and who should helm the Government?

Here is a witty but a true reason why every Malaysian should vote and decide his / her future:-

The below is a collection of quips and quotes taken over time from various sources.

• In my many years I have come to a conclusion one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm and  three or more is the Malaysian Parliament. 

• Democracy in Malaysia must be something like a pack of wolves and a lone sheep voting on what to have for  dinner.

• Foreign aid might be defined as a transfer of money from poor people in rich countries to rich  people in poor countries.

•   Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage yuppies.

• Government is the great non-fiction debacle, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.

•   Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it.  If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.

• The Government don't make or create jokes. They are the joke.

• If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free!

• In general, the art of government consists of taking as much money as possible from one party of the citizen and to give to the other (after pocketing most of it).

•  Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you!

•  No man's life, liberty, property or even puberty is safe while either the Malaysian Parliament or the Malaysian Court is in  session.

•  Talk is cheap except when the Parliament does it.

• The Malaysian government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no responsibility at the other.

• The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery.

• The only difference between a tax man and a taxidermist is that the taxidermist leaves the skin.

• The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill the world with  fools.

• There is no distinctly Malaysian criminal class, save  the Malaysian Parliament.

• What this country needs are more unemployed politicians.

• A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you  have.

• We hang petty thieves and appoint the king of thieves into public office. 
  

• You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out.
