Until recent years, the daily safety of the nation is threatened to the extent that no mainstream media can cover up anymore. Day after day, from snatching to killing to murdering to raping to robbing to beating up people brutally in broad daylight is reported. I believe the coverage is just a small percentage of the crime cases cropping up everyday. At first, we were taught to always be alert, from not believing in strangers, to avoiding strangers, to now having nowhere to hide regardless of how careful you are because mad violent psychopaths are just everywhere stalking their preys.
The developments, funded by the people's blood and sweat, are turned into tolls, or injected into meaningless projects which are abandoned halfway, or costs an insane senseless amount of investment which only make certain manipulative unscrupulous unethical minorities richer continue to suck the hard-earned money of the majority. The ringgit gets smaller, inflation rates higher, and nobody under 30 years old who doesn't rely on their parents' wealth (if any) can afford a decent house of their own in a strategic location. And when they can afford a decent house, it's a location miles away from city centre, which takes a toll on their car expenses and sacrifices their time for the long distanced travel from work or leisure.
Yet, the government is still questioning why we want to change. Why not question themselves some of the inquiries below:
1. If our unis are of world class standard, then why do almost 100% of the higher ranked civil servants send their children overseas? including our country's leader?
2. If people feel safe with the current government's ability to maintain peace, why will we ask for change even though we know that change might mean instability?
3. Where are all the policemen if they are not patroling the streets? Why do they put up their sirens only when they are stuck in a jam? What is the daily routine of policemen?
4. Why is a landmark which house a maximum of 250 people (and that's already a generous estimation) who has little contributions has 4 private highways built exclusively for them? And the rest of the nation is stuck in jam night and day for an average of 1 hour even if the distance if just 15 mins drive (no jam) away?
5. Why as one of the few nations who has a steady supply of petroleum, we don't get free health benefits as citizen? Why Australia, a country that has no natural resources can offer health benefits as well as unemployment benefits to its people??
So many questions, so many whys, the list can go on endlessly. But, instead of ranting, I am going to do my part. Even though it's just one vote, it's going to be one of the most important ones which could change the nation for the better. I'm not asking for a complete drastic change, i'm requesting and praying for a balance of power.
If the two parties get equal votes, Malaysians will benefit from it. It's time to really SERVE the nation, civil reps. The nation is evaluating your KPIs so may you all ALWAYS WORK for us and keep the people in mind. It's time we advance forward, everyone.
