  • Indians deserve to be in their predicament if they can be easily bought by the government. If they think their plight is solved because the ‘Sleeping Badawi’ has suddenly awakened to their problems and made a remarkable turnaround, then they are the ones that need to wake up.

    I hope the Hindraf 5 didn’t go to prison just to see Thaipusam a holiday. Not every Indian observes Thaipusam and I certainly don't. Another holiday will cost the country lost productivity and those Indians on casual pay will suffer. What are needed are structural reforms that include the welfare of poor Indians.

    It does not matter if you vote for monkeys because they can't do worse than the present lot of donkeys. Look at how they destroy the constitution, nature and our freedom. They make a mockery of everything and hide behind this and that when all they want is to make money.

    They destroy the lives of whistle-blowers and those who are patriotic. Everyday you find out that another politician is involved in a corrupt scandal. And then you see them do a Houdini. Look at the Altantuya case, where is justice?

    Many Malaysians are frustrated by political parties that exist only in name but do nothing for them. Not everyone has the ability to tolerate the nonsense.

    The prime minister cannot be allowed to hoodwink the people again with false promises. A man may be sued by a woman for taking away her chastity and failing to marry her. Likewise, a politician must be voted out of power for failing to deliver on the promises that he himself made in the first place and which made us vote for him.

    Then he can learn a lesson but not again at our expense. For a change, it is time to teach our politicians a lesson because they are always preaching to us. Enough is enough.

    I am going to vote the opposition and my friends too because 50 years is a long enough time for the BN government and Abdullah is asking for more time. What happened to Oliver Twist when he asked for more? We will all be dead at the pace he tries to deliver.

    For a start he should stay in the country and do his job properly instead of going all over the world in his private jet. How is he to get any work done if he is always flying here and there?

    But with the electoral boundaries so unfairly drawn and the possibility of vote-rigging don't hold your breath at the next elections. We must change our electoral boundaries and make that a priority. Also make sure that our eyes are on the ballot boxes when they shift them about.

    It is time Malaysians have a change of government unless they are addicted to the one they have. With the Internet only reaching a limited audience the message can't be passed on but Malaysians should use the ancient proven method of by word of mouth.

    For once, we can believe the former prime minister, the Nehru-jacketed Dr Mahathir Mohamed who has told us that the government is ‘rotten’. What do people do with something rotten?
