Now that I have had a breather, I played catch-up on the news!
I have to say that I am rather proud of what is happening politically in our country! We are maturing as a society! We are in a moment of history!
With the alternative news available, we now have a choice and opportunity to hear both sides of the situation and make our own decision. What I find most enlightening is the phrase 'tactical aspect of politics'! which is a result of 'unresolved political turmoil'. (http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/98590)
Re tactical aspect:-
a. we have a ruler who is perceived not to practise what he preaches for whatever reason
b. we have a MACC who reveals he has proof of abuse of power againt a MB, like as if there are nothing more important than cows and cars!
c. we have a PM instructing a MB and 6 EXCo members to attend State Assembly meeting from which they were suspended.
d. we have police reports flying around... making our police force very busy, rendering petty snatch thieves a field day
d. and etc, etc, etc...
There are so many political moves countering another, who knows what is happening behind close doors. The seemingly lawful is seemingly acting unlawfully! What a lot of unlawfullness! Honestly, it is so much more exciting than the stories we read in the Three Kingdom, which eventually resulted in the Sun Tzu Art of War!
The best thing to come out of this is - we semuts, at least my Dad, using him as a yardstick and who has nothing better to do but to read all the papers available, no longer is swayed or has the 'fear' of May13, 1969. At least he no longer finds it necessary to go and stock up on provisions over the latests issues in town!
Then again, the ordinary semuts are just trying to get on with their lives. Perhaps most of the semuts are getting a bit bored over the repeated old scripts and tactics.
So much for a maturing society - where political tugs of war is allowed and played up blinding the issue of the real deteriorating economy in the country ! A leading paper has just announced that The number of workers temporarily laid off has risen from 45,000 before the Chinese New Year holidays to 80,000. Those being retrenched has risen to 19,000 from 15,000.
Let's pray for less greed and more wisdom for our political leaders!!
