(Let all the
Cyber Counter-Insurgency Agents of Minister Lui Tuck Yew come and
counter this one)
Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. What a
simple yet effective way to look at our problems and go to the root
cause to solve our problem.
Evidences of power corruption can be seen in the following
devillish wrong doings:-
(1) Keep increasing taxes, GST, profiteering through farming out
essential government services to GLCs to charge full market rates
while hoarding our tax payers' monies for their own self-glory and
other selfish agendas.
(2) Keep denying problems with excuses using the media to carry
good news while playing down bad news and pushing problems to the
people.
(3) Legalistic passing of all sorts of laws to undermine democracy
e.g. GRC and approving their own million-dollar self rewards while
avoiding answering to mistakes like Mas Selamat or Shin Corp.
(4) Putting up good shows and falsehoods but failing to address the
root causes of problems.
If we have a government running the country with the above-stated
happenings do we still have a good government one governing with
compassion, honesty and integrity to serve the people.
With this kind of records of serving its own selfish interests and
agendas can we now believe that the opening of flood gates to let
oreign workers in to practically take over almost every and any
jobs (except top civil servants' and ministers' jobs) is like
stated by Minister Ng Eng Hen going to create more jobs or good for
the country or its people any more.
It is clear that when a government through power corruption is no
longer able to differentiate between simple good and evil even in
making their own connected elites answer for simple acts of
incompetence like Selamat, NKF, Shin Corp, Global Crossing or UBS
it is way beyond redemption and reasoning. It is power corruption
where the power is fighting to preserve its own interests and not
that of the people.
We need only simple wisdom to guide us the people. "Power corrupts
and absolute power corrupts absolutely" is the wisdom we have to
subscribe to.
We need to go back to basic to realize and correct the root causes
of problems.
We need to have many civic-minded people who could make a good
society to uphold high morality and honesty (without all the
hypocrisy like calling people complacent for their own
incompetence) like the good old days.
Stop disputing among ourselves the citizens over petty issues and
go for root causes of problems before we could make change and have
high standard of governance for once after 40 plus years of
hypocrisy.
There is no other solutions or shortcuts.
