It is frightening when at the beginning of the day, our PM strongly denied that parliament will be dissolved today (13 February 2008)…
… only to make a press conference on the day itself saying the total opposite!!!
My fellow Malaysians; and friends from all around the world… perhaps I should not use the word ‘lie’ here; but making a statement only to reverse it within 24 hours is certainly not funny thing. It is a very serious matter.
Lest we forget, the man himself also denied finding new love only to announce his marriage soon after that. That piece of information may be irrelevant for all of us, but stating one thing and doing another in relation to the General Election is certainly very relevant to us.
I don’t know about you but when I look at statements made such as I-will-be-fair-to-all… I-will-stop-corruption (ok, this one has gone bust)… I-have-rakyats’-interest-at-heart… inflation-will-be-controlled… I-will-do-this…I-will-do-that and all the nice promises mentioned, I can’t help but wonder how easy it is to reverse all these statements, if they have not been reversed already. And just to take it a note further… are all those lies? I guess we already know the answer.
A quick note to those who have been complaining and wanting to vote but failed to find time to register; you’ve missed the boat and you have probably miss one of the most significant election ever.
Some of us may see the bright side of it, i.e. this is truly the Malaysia boleh spirit. If you are one of them, you’re truly a moron. It is frightening beyond words living in an environment where anything is possible. I am sure we all want some certainty in some quarters; particularly in our future.
Being away, many have said that home is where the heart is. But if you think a step further, is home where your future is? Judging by what happened today, I can't really see it.
