Many people - the oppositions, the social critics, the
intelligentia the ordinary people etc - have given their feedbacks
yet our ministers still do not seem to be able or get anywhere near
to solving our persistent problems facing the people.
Despite all their sacrifices they are the ones who are suffering
from dropping wages, unemployments, losses of business
opportunities and economic competitiveness, inefficiencies in
government, lack of accountability in spending people's hard-earned
monies on overseas projects without benefiting the people
themselves.
A lot of constructive and good feedbacks have been given. Yet there
is only one result - government continues to talk about their past
glory with hypocrisy instead of acknowledging the problems and
getting results.
Perhaps there is only one simple reason. We do not need to look
elsewhere and write long thesis or analysis. It is all a power
game.
Our leaders are all intelligent people. There is no reason that
they do not know the difference between right and wrong.
However with or without their knowledge once the power gets into
their blood or the system power becomes self-regulating and the
ultimate overwhelming factor in any decision making.
For example when people complained about rising costs of living
being caused by the government's uncaring taxing and profiteering
mentality, don't tell me they do not know it is wrong to keep
charging or taxing more when people are finding it difficult to
survive.
But with power however creeping so deep under their skin they could
easily brush aside this policy error by getting their press media
to play down the poverty news and play up the good news and
hopefully get away from problems without solving them.
Now they are so intoxicated with their own power they can deny all
problems and all facts and let people to contend with them for as
long as they can.
May be they will pretend to have some MPs to speak hypocrisy like
Halimah to hold the ground and wait until the next election to come
up with election goodies to buy votes again.
So one can almost predict with certainty that there will be nothing
said which will be said without that ultimate play with power - not
right or wrong or duty.
