The Great Public is interested more in government than in politics

 

By Rafidah Aziz 

UNLESS WE , the People , are  FLOCK OF pliable SHEEP....EASILY HERDED by the Shepherd , and the Sepherd Dogs...to go wherever, and do whatever, that is DECIDED BY THEM , and FOR THEM...

     ...THEN it is important for US , and  those ENTRUSTED to GOVERN...to understand ...


    ...WHAT GOVERNMENT and GOVERNANCE 

          MEAN , and INVOLVE

    ....WHAT the PEOPLE EXPECT  as results , and 

           Impact ,of that GOVERNANCE 

   .....WHAT it takes to be RESPONSIBLE in

          Managing and Utilising PUBLIC MONIES...

               ie MONEYS belonging to THE PEOPLE 

                   THEMSELVES

 ......HOW to COPE with CHANGE , and do what is 

        NECESSARY, to MANAGE, SUCCESSFULLY 

         any CHANGE 


Hence , THOSE in Positions of AUTHORITY, MUST

   UNDERSTAND that DIFFERENCE between ...

      ....GOVERNMENT and POLITICS

      ....GOVERNANCE and " POLITICKING"

 

       TODAY, in Malaysia, we are witnessing  ENDLESS POLITICKING , FOCUSSING ONLY on " POLITICAL PARTIES"....and the SCRAMBLING for POWER.

      There is that GLARING CHASM , between 

INWARD LOOKING " POLITICKING "   and GOVERNING...as illustrated by the daily PREOCCUPATION with...


   .....SEATS to Contest in...( NOTE THAT FEW of 

      the Contenders talk about  CONSTITUENCIES.. 

       ... WHICH refer to THE PEOPLE , those

          Who EXPECT SERVICE , with Commitment ) 

           A " SEAT " IMPLIES a Place in the Chambers of PARLIAMENT ,or in the Vaious   STATE ASSEMBLIES...

     .....WHICH , then,  PROVIDES that OPPORTUNITY to be given CUSHY POSTS , in the FUTURE  GOVERNMENT...right UP to the POST of PRIME MINISTER...

          HENCE we begin to see PARTY HOPPING, and " picking out " of SEATS to CONTEST...

          THE POLITICAL FROGS , once again, will be 

HOPPING AROUND....Possibly attracted by WHATEVER " BAITS " and " INDUCEMENTS ", being DANGLED at them...


         It is ALL ABOUT POLITICS and POWER...


     NOT about RESPONSIBLE GOVERNANCE....

       TO SERVE the PEOPLE....


        Not to DIRECTLY or INDIRECTLY obtain GAIN 

     and Benefits, for THEIR OWN SELVES...


          MALAYSIA is at a CROSSROADS NOW...

The PEOPLE can CHOOSE to ...

   ....PERPETUATE the ROT and the DOWNWARDS SLIDE

  .....TOLERATE ABUSES of POWER

......ALLOW the NATION to be RUN by POLITICS ...

       and  be ADMINISTERED by SELF SERVING 

        POLITICIANS..


OR....

     .....TO CHOOSE those who CAN, and HAVE the          CAPACITY and ABILITY, to FOCUS  UPON RESPONSIBLE GOVERNANCE....

        ......for the DIVERSE Malaysian RAKYAT 

          .....FOR SOCIO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT 

                   that can EMPLACE MALAYSIA...ONCE 

                    MORE ....amongst the WORLD'S 

                    RESPECTED NATIONS

         ......FOR the SECURE , and WELL PLANNED 

               FUTURE ,of our YOUNGER GENERATIONS 


      IT is TIME  to put a STOP to  POLITICS and all the TOXICITIES it has Brewed....to continue to DRIVE the NATION...


      THE TIME is NOW , to RETURN to FOCUSSING on  GOVERNANCE ....for PEOPLE and NATION....


    SEJAHTERA MALAYSIA KITA...

MAY THE ALMIGHTY SAVE THE NATION AND 

               ALL OF US...
