Don't be Duped by BN's Bread as good as Circuses
The term "Bread as good as Circuses" (Latin: panem et circenses) is a figure of debate for a fake clarity of satisfaction or a "feel good" factor. In a box of politics, a word is used to report a garnering of open approval by manipulation and/or a instant/quick mere satisfaction of a shoal requirements of a citizens. In other words, as "panadols" for discerning fixes. Juvenal (a Roman poet) tangible it as "a uncomplicated motivation of usual people". The word is ta! ken to r eport a populace which no longer values civic virtues as good as a open life. To politicians, it connotes a winning regulation for a presence of a Roman Republic for centuries. Both a Roman Republic as good as China's Han dynasty lasted for 500 years. The former used "bread as good as circuses" whilst a latter was an comprehensive monarchy. Instead of winning a citizens' approval by excellent open service as good as policies, a Roman Republic gave poor food as good as entertainment. The Roman Republic supposing a bread as good as circuses in sequence to sequence to keep a Roman adults from becoming as well displeasure with their lives. The Roman supervision supposing a adults with sufficient food (bread) so they wouldn't starve as good as sufficient party (circuses) so they would be amused. Hence, a Romans elected them again as good as again.
BN's breads have been a 1Malaysia something good to eat as good as handouts (BR1M Part 1 & 2, free tyres for cab drivers, intelligent phone allowances for immature adults, FELDA's RM15,000, compensate rise for civil servants, etc.). BN's latest "bread" was announced by Najib : "Najib Announces RM2.98 Billion for Sabah subsequent year"(http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/najib-announces-rm2.98b-for-sabah-next-year/).
BN's circuses shows have been a alphabet soup management (ETP, GTP, NKRA etc); not forgetting tarring a roads before any General elections. Another good circus show was Najib's "groundbreaking" proclamation in his Malaysia Day's speech. He said a supervision shall repeal a 3 Emergency Declarations as good as a draconian statutes similar to ISA, Printing Presses as good as Publications Act as good as Banishment Act. They were BN's comprehensive weapons to curb opposition as good as Rakyat who do not accept a government's policies. Why should BN take divided these comprehensive weapons ? It is actually for BN's domestic survival. Like a lizard's presence skill. The lizard will strew a ! tail in sequence to shun for a predator/death.
Food (or bread) for thought: is BN using a age old regulation of "Bread as good as Circuses" to survive another ubiquitous elections? Are you trusting sufficient to allow which to happen again?
N.B : Steven Sim's essay "Is A Country A Brand?" also touches upon bread as good as circuses.
