Only in Malaysia...

Only in Malaysia does the government, under Syarikat Prasarana Negara Bhd, buy close to 1300 buses for RM93 million (USD28 million) and then scrap the buses two years later, citing the busses were deemed unit for operation. When the Malaysian public and foreign investors hear this, all their hearing is the sound of money going into someone elses pocket, which is a local Malay businessman. This is the typical hypocrasy in Malaysia that has caused the downfall of the ruling government, Barisan Nasional (BN). And yet, they refuse to learn their lesson. They forget that as more and more Malaysians get discriminated and marginalised, the more powerful the backlash will be. I really wonder how these ministers, and now lawyers and judges, can go about their daily lives knowing that nearly half the country thinks no higher of them than pieces of garbage. I guess they dont care as long their milknig money, thanks to Tun Mahathir who started rotting the country by making it dumber and dumber.

This is probably why, as other countries improve their economic and political situation, Malaysia is going backwards. Now with the trial of Anwar Ibrahim, we're becoming more and more like Mynmmar's millitary government. And all this is happening because the ruling government, under the leadership of Najib, is scared that its going to get heavily beaten in the next 2012 election.

Barisan Nasional is not going to let this happen. They will, through manipulation and severe intimidation, pull all stops in winning the next election. And the losers will be people like you and me. We're like fat toads in a boiling water. We're just waiting to be boiled to death. We will only make fuss and cry when we feel the water boiling but by then, the time is too late.

Can you see how corrupted our country has become. But the politicians try to hide all this from us by playing up racial conflicts. They do this because they know that Malaysians are a lazy and forgetful bunch. We're like little fat childen - we sit on our butts all day long as ong as someone feeds us sugar-coated crumbs. And we cuddle up in fear when they threaten us with a repeat of May 13.

When are we going to wake up and stop all this corruption. I dont mind the national policy of helping the unpreviledged races. There has to be a balance in everything. But when some people take more of their cut like certain former Menteri Besar's and flaunt their illgotten wealth in public, this is becoming ridiculous.

I am not asking you to do anything drastic. Check the online newspaper of Malaysiakini or other Malaysian political blogs like Crankshafted, Zorro Unmasked or Jelas and many others. Let them open your mind to what is really happening in our backyard.
