Our Politicians: The Absurd and The Ridiculous

Daily I find it practically impossible to read any newspaper. It's all so tainted with complete lack of obejctivity and tinted by the whatever colored glass that the editorial team looks through. No only that, the worst is that no one seems to discuss or report on what is important to most Malaysians as opposed to only those that affects these small obnoxious, self centered, creepy lots called POLITICIANS.

When basic needs are not being met, and when no one seems to care, the ppl will lash out at whoever is seen as the authority. Happened in 1969, in 1997/8 and now. It's not that ppl expects handouts mostly but they do expect the leaders that they select to care more about the ppl than about themselves. Despite the appearance of distrust in politicians Malaysians still go out and vote. just compare the voter turnout percentage in Malaysia compared with US / UK. That in itself kind of implies there is some "trust" that whoever they choose will do their damndest in making things better for them and their children.

The politician work for us, and it not a permanent job, and as Dave said in the movie "Dave) "...it's a temp" job. So if their interested in making this temp job last longer they should be doing great work for their employer, which is us. But most don't think they are.

This goes back to the party system of selecting leaders among them to become our leaders. The party selection system is so fraught with crap that we end up choosing among the various crap that floated through the various party selection system.

Ever since I left UMNO, the only political party I signed on since age 21, I felt liberated. Yet at the same time I felt depressed same as most Malaysians who do not belong to any political party in the 'circus' of the various political parties. These 'leaders' (I am pushing the definition waaay to far on this) do not go pondering beyong their belly button. If they do .. hardly any one of them will be able to sleep. (yet some do sleep very well indeed).

UMNO contains such hilarious bunch of stupid cows, and I say that applies to both men and women, as the men mostly have completely cut off their balls and handed them over to whoever leaders they happen to support.

PAS is concerned about Islam but seems not have a real idea of true Islam. All skin and no heart kind of situation.

PKR is about Anwar, still is despite being put in power in one of teh richest state in teh country, and still sitting on their ass not making a difference even in the state.

DAP seems to start well but instead of moving on their own program, seems intent on revenge on the MCA/GERAKAN predecessors rather than focusing on their job.

MCA/GERAKAN/MIC .... I havent figured what they are trying to do ... and generally most of their members are clueless as well.

So my recommendation. ABOLISH ALL PARTIES! Elect our PM and DPM ... forget about the parliamentary system. Let's go back to Ancient Greek based democracy. Ha ha (only half joking). But seriously ... if the way leaders are selected is faulty, let's change that. Why not ... it's our country isn't it ... well ... actually I'm not too sure about that anymore. Some of our leaders might have sold us off without us knowing.

Stay amazing!
