MALAYSIAN POLITICS IS AT THE ANAL STAGE OR SECOND CHILDHOOD. – PART I.
…WHOSE TAKING IT TO THIS STAGE AND HOW LONG WILL MALAYSIAN POLITICS BE STUCK IN THE RUT HIJACKED BY THE OLD GENERATION OF OLD POLITICIANS WHO HAD NOT ENOUGH OF OLD STYLE POLITICS AND POLITICKING AND WHO LIKE TO RAISE OLD AND TIRED ISSUES CONCERNING RACE AND RELIGION?
By Mansor Puteh
MALAYSIA NEEDS NEW POLITICIANS BUT NOT NEW ANALS AS THE MAIN FOCUS OF OUR DAILY ATTENTION.
FOCUS MUST BE ON THE BRAINS AND NOT ON THE ANALS. AND THEY ARE NOT TIRED BRAINS BUT FRESH ONES WHO CAN COME UP WITH FRESH IDEAS AND DEAL WITH NEW ISSUES FACED BY THE NEW COUNTRY.
MALAYSIAN POLITICS MUST BARE INTELLIGENCE AND WISDOM AND NOT BARE NEW ANALS AND SODOMY AND OTHER UNNECESSARY DEFAMATORY CASES IN COURTS THAT SEEM TO GO ON AND ON SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY ARE MERE EXTENSIONS TO THE POLITICAL ACTIVITIES OF THE COUNTRY.
Is there light at the end of the tunnel for Malaysian anal-stage politics?
And when will we see the replacement of the current generation of politicians and political rejects who had had their thrills in the past and who still crave for more?
Is a career in Malaysian politics one that cannot take anyone further? Or is it a dead-end career where if one gets in it, one is invariable stuck in it for life?
Political leaders in other developed countries move on especially if they are trounced in a general election.
In Malaysia they stick around even if they have lost few times because they simply have no shame of being rejected again and again.
They do not exhibit fortitude, but shamelessness in full view of the public.
Because to many politics is in Malaysia is open to everyone who does not have any shame; they stick around in it because there is no high expectation from them from the public and voters.
The public and voters must share the blame in this malaise. They should have shown more tact in dealing with those types and reject them when they run in the next election.
Voters in Malaysia should know better that getting elected to office comes with a lot of perks.
One is paid well for doing something so little.
In fact, the job of the politicians in Malaysia is basically about not serving the ‘rakyat’ or voters but of serving the party or more exactly, the party president.
Everybody in the party, especially its officials want to attract the attention of the party president who decides who to choose to run in elections and who to hold public office.
It is a lucrative job to hold office and it is something which no one can get otherwise.
In America or the other developed countries, one can succeed in business in enormous ways, so there are not many people who are willing to go into politics.
Only those who are truly dedicated and clean enter politics because their lives are bared for the public and media scrutiny.
In Malaysia, we have not come to this stage, since those in politics think they are above the law, and the media and public do not have a say in their daily conduct.
They escape scrutiny so they can get away even with crime with some who even think they can also get away with sodomy charges.
In Singapura, there are so few who are keen to enter politics so much so that the government has to increase the remuneration so high to entice some to enter politics.
Some do, but they are not genuine politicians as the system in the country is such that they do not have to do much either, as the top leadership assumes leadership role and where all plans and schemes emanate from.
In America, only the super-rich or super-educated enter politics.
This is because the country is huge and has wide choices of fine people who have exhibited leadership.
Those who enter politics normally do not think of financial remuneration, since it does not pay much to be a senator or even a president.
In this country, actors and film directors and other artists are paid thousand times more than their presidents or their senators.
In Third World countries, which Malaysia is in many ways, politicians get more than the average citizens, comparatively speaking from how much energy and effort they put in their jobs compared to what they are paid for.
And not much is expected from the elected members of parliament and state assemblies and the cabinet.
In fact, they do not have to function at all and just be ‘public relations officers’ of their respective ministries or agencies to get by.
So no wonder, not many want to retire after a stint in it; so they try to hang around in it for as long as they can.
And if they are finally asked to leave, they do so reluctantly with some who insist on not being left out, so they establish their own political party.
Malaysia is stuck with a group of politicians from the old generation who speak in a language not many people today understand.
They raise the same issues concerning race, religion and the like in the parliament and in public forums.
The media is also to be blamed for having the same generation of old editors and their old journalism which have all caused the whole country to regress.
