The Walk of Life

Year Of The Tiger this is! Brings to mind a well known Chinese Saying that "a tiger, fierce as it is, will not eat her young" Usually the continuation after such an opening statement goes something like "therefore a crook will not harm his own children".

So what has this got to do with this post? To start with I want to say "A Tiger, fierce as it is, will not eat her young so how come our Government steals and robs from her own citizens"! I guess what ferocious animal will not do, humans are capable of doing. This alone makes "human-beings" to be most dangerous living mammal on earth!

What more if a Government elected by the citizens begin to lie, steal, murder and rob her own citizens? What then must the citizens do? Obviously, to throw them out in the next General Election. As a citizen of Malaysia I am getting rather angry and totally disappointed with our current Barisan Government. I think more than 50% of the population are, basing on the results of the last GE. It seems like denying Barisan short of the two-third majority is not the way. Perhaps the people of Malaysia just wanted to give Barisan a wake-up call but obviously instead of humbling themselves and listen to the heart cry of her citizens it does the exact opposite!

Perhaps out of desperation to cling to power they use whatever force and powers under their control to unjustly silence critics, police arrests, harassment and dissensions. Provoking the anger of the people more and their show of arrogance in so many high profile legal cases. On top of all these are the usual 'denials' that come out so ever readily in response to any accusations or exposures before they even want to weigh and reflect before opening their mouths to speak arrogance, and utter nonsense and justifications that make them look more moronic!

Well, as the saying goes, give the monkey long enough rope and it will hang itself is coming to be true for Barisan. I foresee in the next GE the trouncing will be more severe if not totally wipe off the political landscape in Malaysia which to me is an exceptionally good thing for the people and the nation on the whole.

Not that we, the citizens are not loyal or love this nation any less but it is just the opposite. We sincerely, truly love this nation too much to allow racists and bigots in government positions to bring this rich and beautiful country to the brink of destruction. We must "Bangkit" and vote what is good for the people's future rather than stick to archaic cultural values that can no longer be sustainable for a new world order of globalization where many countries are getting out of archaic tools such as race, religion and tribal policies.

In conclusion I pray and hope that each and every loyal citizens insists to have a say in how we want to see Malaysia should be in the near future. Forget about race, useless cultural values and party alignment be the decisive factor but rather the general good for all Malaysians be the basis in our voting in the next GE! Happy Hew Year and May The Tiger devoured all the ugliness of race and religious intolerance, corruption, injustice and resignations of self-serving politicians in our beloved Malaysia!
