What's Going On, Malaysia?

A few months ago, Barisan National couldn't get two-thirds of the votes for the first time in history. We can see that the people are losing hope in our government. Somehow, I believe that there are still people who vote againts them in hope that they may change for the better. So far from what I can see, they have failed us. Finger pointing all around after the results, not the remorse and let's-buck-up that we hoped for. Disappointed? Don't be, there's more.

The recent arrest of the blogger and a reporter shows that the government has absolutely no idea of what they are doing. The arrest of the blogger shows no freedom of speech in this country; the arrest of the reporter shows that this country has no truth. It fully reflects what this country is made of, and the people running it. The excuse they use is the Internal Security Act, which is meant to protect Malaysia from national security threats. Shouldn't then be the one who sparked unrest about Chinese being "squatters" be arrested instead of the one who commented on it, let it even not be the one who wrote truthfully about it? What's going on? I really don't get it.

If there is no truth to speak of in this country, who can we depend on to seek for justice? Sadly, it reflects our country's regulatory system. I do not want to comment about it, I still want a future outside the prison. Just for thought: Think about it, what's the first impression when you think of a Malaysia traffic police? What is the first thing that came into your mind when you last got stopped by the police? I hope that you will not think of the same thing that I do.

Malaysia is one of the most blessed countries in the whole world. We have no natural disasters, and natural resources are plentiful. We should be one of the top countries in Asia. Instead, our small neighbor who has absolutely no help from mother nature are doing better than we do. If the riches of the country did not convert into the people's welfare, did not contribute into the national economy and reserves, where did it go?

I've never been so frustrated by politics until now. The disrespect for truth and covering it up by brute force is just to much to shallow. The tendency to cover up instead of admitting ones fault has been in our system for far too long. When are you going to wake up and admit that you are in deep shit, Malaysia? And who is that fool, or whoever is behind him to provoke racism issues when we, no matter what race, should be united as one and rebuild what should have been build long ago.
