I have been watching closely the state of affairs in Malaysia following the 12 ^th general elections held last March 2008. I’m saddened at the immaturity of the ruling coalition in focusing their funds and efforts in re-occupying the lost states. I notice so much of money is utilised to promote themselves in these areas.

There are so many instances and I guess I could go on rattling about them from ends on. I might jolt a few memories by mentioning the floods that hit the opposition-held states last year during the monsoon; Barisan Nasional was the first to respond and gloat about their contribution to the flood victims.

They even got the residents to put in a few good words on TV for them and their dismay due to the lack of promptness from the opposition. Talk about sincere obligation or perhaps hidden motives? Even a child would guess it right.

I notice recently that certain ridiculous petty issues are blown out of proportion and purposefully used to create unnecessary racial and religious tensions. For what particular reason, I do wonder? Perhaps to reassure the people that BN’s governance is still pertinent to ensure racial and religious stability in the country?

My personal view from from what I observe is that it is a deplorable and deliberate attempt to ignite the situation and then show up at the end of it as the promised saviour. I find the ruling coalition to be a spoilt, rotten drama queen from the yesteryears, trapped in a contemporary world with critiques.

The only problem is that usually, people respond to constructive criticism. But some don’t and perhaps is that they are so used to being thick-skinned.

Another thing I’ve noticed is the ridiculous and bizarre accusations of sodomy towards a prominent politician. What puzzles me most is not the case itself but the immense interest of the government in the case therefore hinting of a hidden agenda.

I would like the public to take a step back and notice the idiosyncrasies of this case. How does someone not learn from a past mistake if at all it was a proven accusation? Why would someone who was sodomised go to three different hospitals to be examined?

What happened to that poor Myanmarese doctor at Hospital Pusrawi whose report was apparently negative? Why isn’t there an independent laboratory review of the alleged semen specimen? Could it have been a 10-year-old specimen? Why does a sodomised victim not pass motion for two days ?

There’s lots more to touch upon but it is such a waste of time. As a concerned citizen, I’m voicing out my opinion because I’m afraid that the current ruling coalition has wasted so much time on petty issues and are so busy re-branding themselves at the expense of the poor taxpayer’s money.

If they were sincere in their current programmes and campaigns, we would see less of this drama on TV.
