Politics
Haha..the current hottest issue in the media and among the people right now.
I still remember that I was ignorant of the issue. To me, politics are dirty and all that are related to it are nonsense and useless. I even became anti political talks during my 'younger' days.
But everything have changed since I graduated and joined the world of job. Ever since I got my job, my parents stopped giving me money for everything. It was expected of course and I had a little trouble to manage my finance during that time. I can say it is a little problem because previously during my studies, I've worked part time as a freelance technician and programmer to cover my living cost at the private learning institute. Doesn't bother me much during that period as my parents still give me pocket money.
Well, now I have to manage everything myself. Got to make plans for my future. Invested my money in unit trust, get an insurance and the next thing is to open a Tabung Haji account so that one day, I'll be able to perform the fifth pillar of faith; the Hajj. Not to mention that I have to save for getting myself a car and a house. And yeah, getting married will also going to cost me a lot of cash.
So what does all of these have to do with politics?
If we are observant enough, politics do have something to do with our life. For most of us, it will be so indirect that we wont really feel it. Only those that are really observant can see the relation between politics and our life.
Let me give an example, a crony of a political figure suddenly having trouble with his/her business, surely of course, the political figure will feel obliged to help. So where do you think they can get money easily from? The people's money of course! and mind you that the normally, political figures have families or cronies that are involved in businesses that deals with hundred thousands to billions of currency values. To cover that up, they'll start to increase the price, cut the subsidy for the people or 'stealing' funds from the any monetary institution that they control.
and then, it was really us who have to suffer for their losses.
That's not all. Now comes the racial issues. Every time the general election season comes, those political figures starts to threat the people with a long past history of tragedy which occurred nearly 40 years ago. In my views, come on! it's been 40 years. the young generations although some of us are a bit racist (still, thanks to their stagnant mind of their elders and political leaders) but I really don't think that we'll start to kill each other like they did during that time. I mean, hey, it was 40 years ago and during that time, yeah, the other races are outsiders and don't really understand the customs and the law of the natives. But this is 2008, nearly 40 years have passed and we lived with each other for so many long and surely have learn to work with each other. I myself have quite a number of friends of other races and I don't think I want to kill them just because of the ghost from the past.
Well, right now, i just hope that this is the dawn of the new Malaysia. And let this be a lesson for those who lose that they should not be arrogant and they should remember, it is the people who elected them to be leaders, and they should serve the people. Heck, we should change the term 'government servant' to 'the people's servant'. Having said that, they should know their actual place. In my views, that is what true democracy means.
