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...
