So, it's official. The state will be administered by a new goverment. Followed the discussion the night when results were announced. Some things which were said hit the bullseye. A wake up call. Time to clean up the act. Listen to the people.
Yet, I still hear commments that show these bunch of people are still living in the state of denial. Instead of owning up the real reason they were not chosen, they attribute it to the playing of the racial card by the other parties. Well, hello!
It's much more than that. It's the people saying: We had enough, you guys are too arrogant to hear us out. Development is good and it becomes bad when it come at the expense of nature. I don't vote along the communal line (who says there are race-based parties here?) but along the road I drive home everydayThe hills are bald and Gurney Drive stinks now.
I can't be too vocal about other issues as I'm prohibited to do so under the law governing us students in varsity (so much for trying to churn out mature and professional future leaders when what we read has been censored and chosen for us). One thing is, I believe that nobody and nothing is above the Constitution.
Then there's this thing about "reconsidering projects" in some states. Sour grapes. Sore losers. Talk about winning them back when there isn't any interest in doing so except hinder the necessary development.
About certain races losing their voice; if one is sincere and a good administrator, they would speak up for all. Who's being racial now?
Malaysians, like me, are more educated and better in their judgment now. It is not the 13 days of campaigning that will win us over or smother what was done the previous years. It is a continued effort to champion the needs and rights of the people.
We're watching. Evaluating. I just hope there's no more tree-cutting in the name of development. The Pearl is as good as a moss-covered pebble now.
