Politics for cows? That's what my friend said to me when I had a drink with him.
I guess with this coming Hulu Selangor by-election, alot of ugly stories will come out. Kamal/Alex/Nathan has shown how he vigorously protects the foundations of Perkasa. He is 'old-school' politician which is something I didn't expect from a 43 yr old Public Relation guy.
Race is no longer a big issue in Malaysia except for a small portion of BN-putras. Unfortunately, PR is heading towards the same direction when LKS keep harping on the issue. LKS has done a good job for the nation politics for these countless decades but I think he has long passed his usefulness.
To me, it doesn't matter what color we are. We should remove the word RACE and RELIGION from all application forms starting with the government forms. Secondly, we should remove politicians who talks about race. Infact, why not have a law to throw these fools into jail with the mere mentioned of racial issues openly?
All of us want to be equal. I doubt the malays themselves are truly believing in their "Ketuanan Melayu" anymore especially they have been robbed so many decades by BN. What's the point of having 10% discount for bumiputra's when the bumiputra's can't even afford the pricetag of the home in the first place? We non-bumi's are also not much different if you care to stop and take a look around. We have so many poor people still living in huts or just scrapping by each day, whether you are a bumi or non-bumi.
NEM came as more of a disappointment. GST is coming soon which is going to be bad for businesses for the next few years or more. What does the normal folks have? Nothing. Not a single thing. PR has been voted into power at two very important states of the nation, yes! they have made improvements. But would they do better if they stop wasting time to answer or making race remarks? My answer would be yes.
They have caliber people around them. They have the state powers now. They can make a difference and show to the nation they will do what it takes to make it right for EVERY MALAYSIAN. With this, I hope they will.
