The current scenario and the events therein certainly put the fear of the unknown to many of us. I think it's only natural since we thought that we as Malaysians, have reached rock bottom with UMNO's rule and mismanagement. We expect to have someone or something to pull us up. That too is normal human instinct and desire. But I think we as Malaysian expect too much in too short a span of time.



As in anything that's natural and genuine, it requires growth and an organic growth at that. That's the best way for growth (we don't want a cancer like type of growth OR DO WE?) And that's the same with our PR and the resolve of Malaysian (voters), more importantly. I think we are focusing too much on the picture of PR and forgetting the real important thing in the long run.

And what is that?

TO TEACH MALAYSIAN THAT THEY ARE THE REAL OWNER OF THIS COUNTRY AND AS VOTER THEY ARE THE ONES WHO RULE AND ELECT THE PEOPLE AND MACHINERY THAT RUN THIS COUNTRY!

Politicians and political parties may come and go and that is a fact. Having said that, if we have a public or more importantly a voter population that are able to assert themselves, that will be more important to the country and for the future.

Therefore I think for starters let us focus more on waking up our citizens from the grip of ignorance and apathy. Let's teach our voters to demand accountability and justice and fairness. For now, at this juncture and with the current disaster staring and unblinking at us, we HAVE to give our support to PR (or maybe some other entity which might reveal itself in the future)and a total one at that with the aim of dislodging UMNO and BN (we lack any other alternative and between the two, PR is 1000 times better).

Afterwards when we have bigger space/freedom and better air or governance to breathe, we can slowly grow and nurture our voters to be at least conscious of their ownership of this country (and of politician and political party are their servant whom they can discard if they so pleases).

BUT that will take at least a few decades to achieve and if we are still stuck with UMNO and BN, that will take maybe another 50 or hundreds of years, who knows?.

So , being a beggar (not because we choose to but because of the lack of any real alternative) we can't be choosy. Let's work with PR in the mean time (with the ultimate aim of kicking some ass and a deservedly ass kicking at that) and afterward (after UMNO and BN is no longer an equation), the future is for us to shape and that goes for our voters empowerment too.

So let's no get distracted! Sure PR is not perfect and maybe they are the wrong choice in the long run BUT right now WHAT IS THE ULTIMATE GOAL????

If we as citizens know the answer to that question instinctively, then we should not worry too much about PR "COS WE HAVE BIGGER FISH TO CATCH AND FRY, PEOPLE! (and maybe in the subsequent GE if PR is deemed not worthy too, then they will taste the same hard and leathery boot kicking their ass just like what we gave to UMNO and BN)

It is my belief that what we are seeing and hearing now are a mixture of propaganda, lies, spin and half truth that are designed to confuse and to deceive us into despair and hopeless with the ultimate aim of eliciting from us the human trait of giving up and throwing down the towel.

I think if we remain true to our MAIN OBJECTIVE of defeating UMNO and BN then we can (not close a blind eye) but gives PR (more than a leeway) but a substantial handicap to learn the art and science of governing.

Tough times need tough measures!

And I should say PR are having tough time right now so it is only fair for us the rakyat to give UMNO and BN an even tougher times. After all, we have chosen our gladiator to fight for us, let's not weaken him right before the final bout. Make them submit to our high standard after they have won the prize for us NOT BEFORE (cos after the fight, all the gladiators will now whose the true and real boss and they will have to listen to us..no exception).

In the mean time, let's get out of this political quagmire by doing the right thing and voting wisely!! Otherwise, we will be left to rot in this quandary. Do share your views/thoughts and suggestions by leaving a comment. Thanks and have a lovely day!
