We are warned and reminded about fake goods that look like it, feel
like it but it is not the original branded goods. Many have been conned
into believing that at a cheaper price you can still get the same
original products that you wanted.
Being cheated of buying fake products may not cause us any harm in
anyway except burning a hole in the pocket. A lesson to learn and you
will be more careful when offered any branded goods at great discount
the next time.
But what happen when you are conned into believing in a fake product
that can caused great harm to you, your family and future generation?
Malaysia, in the 60′s and 70′s was the most memorable for its
prosperity, harmony and peaceful living among all the races and there
were hardly any religious issues. The Federal Constitution was closely
followed in governing the nation without much fuss.
Then in the 80′s and 90′s came a great salesman with a doctor degree,
force selling his great product of ‘Bersih, Cekap dan Amanah’ to the
people and many bought it without realising that this hollow and fake
product can cause so much damage in the later years. A certain group of
people that consumed this product begin to have side effects. They got
bolder and braver to challenge the Federal Constitution, got greedier,
making more demands on special rights and turn the whole judiciary
upside down. But credit must be given to him for his ability to sell his
fake product for 22 years!
Before this old doctor salesman left, he put in place a less
knowledgeable salesman, so he thought, that he could manipulate and
control, but how wrong he was. This is the 21st century.
This 21st century salesman came out with his own products,
‘Cemerlang, Gemilang, Terbilang’ and ‘Islam Hadhari’, claiming to be the
best products that can combat greediness and create religious harmony
among the different religions. These products were hot selling for a
couple of years that won him a landslide victory in 2004. Soon after the
great victory the effectiveness of the products begin to wear out
showing clearly that they were fake. Instead of leaving graciously, this
salesman was force out by his own assistant.
Now, this assistant is a total different breed. He has been scheming
and plotting to take over the salesmanship for quite sometime and
finally he made it in 2009. Without wasting much time, he immediately
peddled his own products convincingly to the public. He had seen how his
two predecessors failed in selling their fake products and he knows he
has to be wiser.
So, more products were churned out starting with ’1Malaysia’ which he
claimed to be his own idea, even though others had already used it.
This salesman is smarter, engaging foreign PR at hefty cost to churn out
more make believe statements, advertisements and creating ’1′ this and
’1′ that, all with public funds.
To prop up his ’1Malaysia’, by products were introduced such as
‘People First Performance Now’ with a list of acronyms such as GTP
(Government Transformation Programme), ETP (Economic Transformation
Programme) and NKRAs (National Key Result Areas).
After two years of hard selling, never mind the millions wasted, what
are the results, nothing, zilch, zero. Consuming these fake products,
the people are getting more agitated, racial divide getting wider,
religious intolerance are at its peak and the so call transformation had
indeed transformed into something that can tear this nation apart.
Malaysia was once such a nice and peaceful nation but because of
leaders peddling fake ideologies for their own gains and benefits are
about to destroy it and the people must do something to correct it.
To bring back the original Malaysia, love by all Malaysians and to
get rid of all these fake ’1Malaysia’ thingy et al, you have to make the
correct choice comes the 13th GE.
