Giving Up

I really have no other words to express it.

I love my country. It's an amazing country. There's food, there's shopping, nightlife, people, things to do, places to see and a heritage which we could be proud of.

But politics wise...I'm losing hope. Giving up. Writing it off.

However you want to say it.

So. Four members from PAS have crossed the floor. One into BN, and the other three deciding to go down the Independent path. The Independents will however be siding with the government.
Meanwhile, Anwar Ibrahim is going crazy [even though he has yet to show signs of it]. Najib seems to be smug about this newly found victory, considering BN hasn't had a hold over Perak in a long time. All while the rest of Malaysia is struggling to just get by and live peacefully.

Politics isn't what it used to be. It was meant to be For the People, By the People.
Politics is all about a power struggle now. Who's got the power, who doesn't. Who wins, who loses. Who has the final say in each and every decision.
Politics was meant to represent the people, make life better, care for the people. Help those in need, make decisions which will benefit the people when push comes to shove, or even before that happens.

I'd really love to know how this 2020 vision that Datuk Badawi had in mind is ever going to come about. We can never be a first world country without the proper values and the proper base. That idea and goal was a sham right from the beginning, even before it was announced to the country.

I love my country. I love Malaysia.

Just not her current politicians.

The Malaysian Revolution

Inspired by the Russian Revolution in my history course of study. XD
Of course, it's a far cry from the Winter of Discontent [in Malaysia, this means it's the end of the world as we know it]; the March, November and October Revolutions; or even an April Thesis [a la Lenin's essay for which he had a lot of time on his hands].

The biggest news in Malaysia at the moment: Barisan Nasional has just lost the control of five, yes, FIVE states today. These states include Selangor, Penang, Kedah, Kelantan and Perak. They managed, however to hold on to seven states. A far cry from the twelve states that they once managed to get hold of every five years.
Although this does say something for Malaysia. If this continues the way it does, we could easily have a new government in place during the next election. The first change since we became an independant nation.

I'll be allowed to vote in the next election, which is scary enough, but thinking about actually being part of the voters who change the government...wow, that's something else to think about!
