political reform...is that what we really need?
While waiting for the friday prayer to be over...I decided to check my fb...Today we have a discussion about leadership and policy in Malaysia...then I found in my news feed, a friend posted about Soros's retaliation towards Mahathir saying he's the second most corrupted leader in the world,but for me how can you believe the word of a vindictive person without even analysing things thoroughly....there's no angel vs devil in nation building...Soros affiliation with IMF...manipulation of the exchange rate...the original sin, the rising of the tiger power...the foul play involved in Thailand economic trade that domino affected the rest of the asia, the panic, the ominous rumors that lead to Asia economic downfall....the reducing effect of Russia's import influence..the increase of interest rate promoted by Anwar ensuring that the country would reach the bottom at the fastest speed...things were already shitty back then...instead of focusing who caused the shit....the priority was given to mend the shit...anwar is incompetent when it comes to economy...that's the fact...he might be a nice person, possess a great persona...liked by other people...but Mahathir's way is what makes Malaysia achieve everything it has today...there's no point dwelling in the past...Mahathir is no longer on the throne....what matters is NOW...do we have the capacity to move forward as one nation? My coursemate actually said this in the class..."you have one shit and on the other hand you have another shit, it's just a matter of who will derail the country faster"....we still struggle to find balance in economy, racial issues and religious matter....but both parties doesn't even show a single sign of promoting the integration and equality...disparity still happen even in the opposition territories....opposition shows the superficial unity when everybody knows it's a bag full of shit....and the government's elitism practices contributed to the loss of trust among the citizen...it will not be a shocker that in the future...there will be another 13th May in Malaysia...there will be coup d'etat by the military...especially when the common people now that are so full of self entitlement....that thinking they are better educated now to voice out the opinion and criticizing things....they have a right as a citizen to earn all the benefit without even contributing much to the development of nation...thinking that by paying the tax and the freedom to vote gives them power to get away with whatever they want....Keneddy once said "asked not what the country can give you, but what can you give towards the country" the leader is the mirror image of the citizen....hasn't it even occurred to our mind that the reason we have such shitty leaders on both sides...because we as citizens....are shitty too...we are all talk....but we can't even walk the talk...we want freedom...but we never utilize what's given to us for something positive...we whine every time a new policy is implemented....and hope things will change just by whining, and the fairy will come and change them overnight...the corruption comes from within...don't be too ambitious about changing the country..just concentrate on changing yourself by being a better person, who follow the rules, who instead of receiving always contributing towards the society...one of my Japanese friend used to say "the politics is never good in Japan...there's always something wrong somewhere...but the loyalty and the fact that every citizen play their part wholeheartedly is what makes the nation stronger"...I think it's time to the citizen itself to think what really matters...the change of the political leader/party...or the reformation of the shrewed mentality that we posses....?

True true. You should read "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" by John Perkins. I'm reading it now actually.
ReplyDeleteit basically shows how the modern world now works with all debt system going on and how leaders of every country are "cursed" to the system, be it Muslim country or not.
And every leader is practicing the so-called "top to bottom" economy where they will bring in mega projects to create new "jobs" for the people. And it's the same system that is crippling every country around the world except for US because they invented the system.
And the group of ppl who approach the country leaders are the ones called "economic hitman". very interesting. huhu.
p.s: might I suggest putting some paragraphs to your post? It's a great read but looks a bit clumped up. :P
hahaha....since i doubt not many people read my craps....never bother with paragraphing actually...but thanks for the constructive critique...will put it in mind next time...
