By Nathaniel Tan,
Isn’t it such a travesty? And one so revealing of our country’s current ‘leadership’.
Everything to Najib seems to be about money – even (especially?) democracy.
Completely unable to grasp the honourable fundamentals of what parliament should represent, all Najib’s $$ eyes can think about is how to throw money towards making it ‘look’ better.
When will these BN politicians understand that democracy is more than fancy buildings? That justice is more than a state of the art Istana Keadilan?
As some have written, while Malaysians starve and the government wants to increase our economic burdens by removing subsidies, now we talk of RM 800 million for a mere building?
I’ve been to our parliament – it’s not the Ritz, but it was actually a lot more fancy and comfortable than I expected.
Malaysians don’t want white elephants that only benefit cronies – especially not for the august house that is meant to be the bastion of our democracy.
What we really want is for our democratic rights to be respected, our vote to count, our voice heard in the halls of parliament, and justice to guide our lawmakers.
