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...

IN ALL FOUR LANGUAGES: Ampun Tuanku, Kerajaan Madani sekarang dalam pandangan saya…

My text is in Malay, but the text in English, Mandarin and Tamil below is provided by Artificial Intelligence.” Teks saya dalam Bahasa Malaysia tetapi Teks bahasa Inggeris, Mandarin dan Tamil di bawah dibekalkan oleh Artificial Intelligence:  Daulat Tuanku, beribu-ribu ampun.  Bukan saja di Malaysia, rakyat mengalami kos saraan hidup yang tinggi tetapi selepas Pandemik Covid, banyak negara mengalami isu yang sama.  Secara ringkas, pinjaman negara meningkat selama ini disebabkan masalah 1MDB, pandemik dan interest yang perlu dibayar.  Berbanding dengan zaman DrM di mana elit yang mendapat bantuan, tetapi masih memerlukan bailout termasuklah anak Dr M sendiri.  Dalam era DSAI, ekonomi beliau yang berteraskan B40 dan M40, ini yang rakyat hendak lihat. Semua bantuan yang disalurkan kepada golongan ini akhirnya juga dapat mempertabatkan GDP dan ekonomi negara dan memanfaatkan rakyat Tuanku.  Dana yang digunakan untuk membantu raykat sekalian akhirnya juga akan m...

My heart will go on

  It must be at least twenty years ago when I first encountered Malaysia’s very own Stevie Wonder, Colin Ng Soon Beng. It was during Chinese New Year, at the home of a mutual friend. Colin was only about ten years old then. His mother introduced him to me as a “special child.” She said, “Pick a song. We’ll play it for Colin to listen, and he will play it back for you.” I chose My Heart Will Go On from Titanic. To this day, Colin still remembers that it was the song he played for me. Born with multiple disabilities, Colin’s journey has been anything but ordinary. Being visually impaired, he could not learn music the way most children do. Yet God blessed him with an extraordinary gift: a razor-sharp ear. He could identify the brand of a photocopier or the model of a car simply by hearing its sound. His mother, Janet, devoted her life to nurturing his talent. After losing her husband when Colin was 24, she became not only a mother but also a father figure, chauffeur, and companion in ...

DALAM EMPAT BAHASA/ IN FOUR LANGUAGES/在四种语言中/ நான்கு மொழிகளில்: A Piece of Good News Worth Celebratinng

Akhirnya, anak Sarawak ini — Soliman Wan — telah menerima kewarganegaraannya! Dilahirkan 52 tahun lalu di kawasan pedalaman Sarawak, bukan sesuatu yang mudah bagi ayah dan ibunya untuk ke bandar bagi mendaftarkan kelahriannya. Tambahan pula, pada waktu itu, ramai penduduk di Sabah dan Sarawak kurang memahami kepentingan dokumen rasmi sebagai bukti status kewarganegaraan. Soliman dilahirkan pada tahun 1974, ketika Malaysia baru berusia 13 tahun. Kefahaman mengenai kewarganegaraan masih belum begitu meluas, terutamanya dalam kalangan masyarakat yang tercicir daripada arus pembangunan dan sistem pendidikan negara. Kehidupan Soliman sebagai seorang pastor penuh dengan cabaran. Tanpa kewarganegaraan, beliau tidak dapat memiliki kad pengenalan, memohon pasport, membuka akaun bank, dan pergerakannya sangat terhad, malah di dalam negara sendiri. Gajinya terpaksa dibayar melalui akaun individu lain yang dipercayai. Kini, dengan penganugerahan kewarganegaraan ini, komuniti Kristian di gerejanya ...
