Time for Change?
by Mariam Mokhtar@www.malaysiakini.com
We have had 54 years of UMNO-Nrule as well as have things really gotten any better? The abounding crop up to get richer, whilst a numbers who make up a poor, have been increasing. The aged class system was kingship contra a serfs. Then it was a colonialists opposite a Malayans. Now it looks similar to it is a Umnoputras contra a rest.
The Umnoputrasare a brand new elite. Even kingship depends upon a largesse of those who lead UMNO-BN to get funding from a polite list. When it suits them, BN will use romantic extort upon a Malays to say which their heartland as well as their birthright is being threatened.
The British left us with a nation which had huge potential. Malaya had an abundance of wealth, from tin to timber, minerals to mining. Singapore was only a trade pier for all of Malayas riches. Look at Singapore now.
Malaya was abounding in natural resources as well as it was these cache which helped account a British fight effort in a First World War. However, a single untapped resource afterwards as it is now, have been its people a Malaysians Orang Asli, Malays, Chinese, Indians, a East Malaysians, Eurasians as well as all a rest.
Over a years, all these people contributed towards a success which you right divided see in a country. It is not BN or UMNO or a Opposition who have been responsible. It is a tough work as well as restraint of those Malaysians who love their country.
However, a Umnoputrasare a brand new kingship as well as they have been siphoning divided cache which should be common with a rest of a rakyat. They take but they never give. They forget which all Malaysians deserv! e a same considerations as well as protections as other individuals working in a c! ountry.< /p>
Prime Minister NajibAbdul Razak (right) was not elected to a post. He leads a nation by default. He has shown really little capability to govern or to engage with a rakyat.
He only pays lip service to his speech to representatives of a 65th United Nations General Assembly; he said which extremists should not be allowed. At home, Malay extremists were permitted to demonstrate their unresponsive extremist as well as eremite views but being punished.
Tighten belts
His administration department department tells us to tie our belts but it appears he does not have to mind his own advice. He freely uses taxpayers income upon his personal comfort. How does he have a gall to spend RM63million upon renovations upon Seri Perdana when a little people do not have a decent roof over their heads?
Taxpayers income is also used to account his expenses abroad. One outing to a US was combined with his daughters graduation ceremony. Another outing to Kazakhstan with a vast environment of officials coincided with his daughters rendezvous ceremony. Quite a couple of regarded it as implicitly wrong.
When Najibs wife, a contentious First Lady, appeared in a New York Timescentre-fold, a rakyat was irritated further when it was purported which US$4 million had been outlayed upon this self-publicity drive.
Perhaps Najib is not at all worried about emptying a open purse. In comparison, if you due a government department a single ringgit, you would be hounded similar to criminals.
Najib as well as his administration department department have been abandoned of morality. He need not go upon about a antithesis as well as their spending when people who have been found practis! ing inco me governing body head government institutions.
How can he claim which other Muslim nations should follow Malaysias lead, since Malaysias system of governance is based upon moderate Islam as well as has worked? W! hat abou t corruption, a abuse of power, a use of secular or eremite sentiments to divide a open as well as a miss of credit of a countrys institutions? Why can Najib not make decisions which will lead to staggering improvements in democracy in Malaysia?
Instead he wants to build monuments to his self-centredness similar to a proposed 100-storey WarisanMerdeka. These have been mere phallic symbols for UMNO-BN.
Intolerance increasing
In NajibsMalaysia, levels of charge as well as intolerance by a little Malays towards non-Malays or non-Muslims have increased. Malays who make secular as well as eremite slurs go unchecked, notwithstanding Najibs promises to exterminate extremism.
BERSIH, which called for giveaway as well as satisfactory elections, has been outlawed by Najib. Is he not meddlesome in clean elections? Does he not instruct to prove which UMNO has won each choosing by satisfactory means? Why is he afraid of giveaway as well as satisfactory elections?
Why is he afraid of allowing general observers to oversee a elections? Surely, general observers would thwart all of a oppositions claims which UMNO tampers with a choosing results.
On a other hand, a new deportation of French lawyer, William Bourdon, can only mean a single thing. There is something to hide.
Bourdon, who is representing local NGO Suaram, believes which sum of beneficiaries as well as kickbacks from theRM 7.3 billion Scorpene submarine deal will be suggested when a make a difference is raised in an ongoing French crime trial opposite defence giant DCNS.
If all is above b! oardthe parties concerned would surely wish to transparent their name. Or even prove which a Scorpene liaison has nothing to do with them.
The shame is which other UMNO-BNmembers have been wakeful of a truth as well as which Najib is an unqualified leader. However, these people have been not willing to assistance a nation becau! se they only wish to save themselves. Perhaps, they have been themselves implicated or maybe they fright for their own safety.
But we, a rakyat, have been telling Najib which it is time he went. If he is still unconvinced which he is not a man for a job (of heading a country), he should have well known by now, which being PM is a poisoned chalice.
