Hey BN, less drama please

By Concerned Citizen

I have been watching closely the state of affairs in Malaysia following the 12th general elections held last March 2008. I’m saddened at the immaturity of the ruling coalition in focusing their funds and efforts in reoccupying the lost states. I notice so much of money is utilized to promote themselves in these areas.

There are so many instances and I guess I could go on rattling about them from ends on. I might jolt a few memories by mentioning the floods that hit the opposition held states last year during the monsoon; Barisan National was the first to respond and gloat about their contribution to the flood victims and they even got the residents to put in a few good words for them and dismay due to the lack of promptness from the opposition on TV. Talk about a sincere obligation or perhaps hidden motives? Even a child would guess it right.

I notice recently that certain ridiculous petty issues are blown out of proportion and purposefully used to create unnecessary racial and religious tensions. For what particular reason, I do wonder? Perhaps to reassure the people that their governance is still pertinent to ensure racial and religious stability in the country? My personal view from what I observe is a deplorable deliberate attempt in igniting the situation and then showing up at the end of it as the promised saviour. I find the ruling coalition to be a spoilt rotten drama queen from the yesteryears but trapped in a contemporary world with critiques. The only problem is usually people respond to constructive criticism but some don’t, perhaps they are so used to being thick skinned.

Another thing I’ve noticed is the ridiculous and bizarre accusations of sodomy on a prominent politician. What puzzles me most is not the case itself but the immense interest of the government in the case therefore hinting a hidden agenda. I would like the public to take a step back and notice the idiosyncrasies of this case. How does someone not learn from a past mistake if at all it was a proven accusation? Why would someone who was sodomized go to 3 different hospitals to be examined? What happened to that poor Myanmarese doctor at Hospital Pusrawi whose report was apparently negative? Why isn’t there an independent laboratory review of the alleged semen specimen? Could it have been a 10 year old specimen? Why does a sodomised victim keep himself from not passing motion for 2 days ?

There’s lots more to touch upon, but it is such a waste of time. As a concerned citizen I’m voicing out my opinion because I’m afraid that the current ruling coalition has wasted so much time on petty issues and are busy rebranding themselves at the expense of the poor taxpayer’s money. If they were sincere in their current programs and campaigns we would see less of this drama on TV.
