Malaysians should by now wake up from their .54 years slumber.Our first P.M, Tuanku Abdul Rahman was an honest man. He did not accumulate wealth beyond what he earned from his stipendary. When he died he did not die a wealthy man because during his brief but momentus tenure he was loved by all the races he governed.because he was not corrupt.
This continued. with Abdul Razak's tenure . There was hardly any whisper of corruption or perhaps because there was no independent or alternative media to expose any corruption.But that changed with Mahathir;'s asccendancy.
Under Mahathir's 22 years tenure, many things changed.He left behind a legacy of failed , instituitions which not only became subservient to the executive but in many aspects lost its direction and obligations to the people it was supposed to serve. The judiciary, the Police, the Attorney-General,and a host of othe public instituitions simply became a tool which only served Mahathir.Failure to serve his interests and desire would incur his wrath as happened to the Lord President of the Judiciary, Lord President Salleh.
Not only did Mahathir left behind a legacy of corrupt instituitions but he was himself instrumental and emboiled in many dubious deals which saw his family ensconced as one of the richest in Malaysia.Yet, despite his failings as a leader, we still today have people hero worship him as if he had left a lasting legacy.Sad to say, if truth be told,the only legacy which he left behind was a country destined to be racially divided and in the precipice of bankruptcy.History will truthfully depict him as a selfish ,egoistic leader who hid under the charade of helping the indigeneous malays while enriching his family and cronies.. Many of his supporters claimed his contributions in the development of the country's infrastructure.but building multi million dollar structures and highways do not require any special expertise as long as you have access to unlimited funds from Petronas.Any ten year old who can speak just have to repeat the word ' build it' and presto it will be built.
Malaysians must wake up from this long 54 years slumber and make a conscious effort to remove the present ruling regime which no longer serve the interest of the people..Malaysians must know unless they make this critical decision via the ballot box, this country will degenerate to a third world country similar to Zimbahwee..We do not have the luxury of waiting for another time or another election. We need to do it now, at the next General election.and failure to change this govt is not an option because it will inevitably bring the destruction of this country that all Malaysians love.
