The Changing Process of Malaysia

I don't know why, but I quite disappointed with the current situation in the blogsphere. I don't know, maybe how the passion has warn of or there is not much fire anymore(in the exception of Malaysia Today, but that also has a slight reduction) in the Malaysian political blogs. I welcome any thoughts on this but let me have a say first.

Firstly, I think that the political blogs have stop defending the people, rather they are defending their political masters or their favourite politicians to a sickening extent. A lot have been said on these, the argument between real blogger and the paid one so there is no need for me to elaborate further. However there is the tendency for this bloggers to twist the facts and create lies and false accusation that may mislead the readers, which is of course uncalled for.

Then there is the fact that the changing of the guard in UMNO and the government has make some among us bloggers who are passionate reformers turn to well, like a bunch of losers hoping for change from this leadership transition. To them I wish good luck! But let me remind them that nothing has truly change,only now we have the new Prime Minister and his cabinet which most of them are part of the old cabinet. The ruling party is still the same, the philosophy on which they rule is still the same, the attitude of their rule is still the same. Just look at TV3 coverage of the by-elections , the strategy the ruling party uses in that election and you will know what I mean.

So what is real change then?, for starters let have a new party to rule this country, if not at least the old ruling party change it's philosophy of racial supremacy to the people sovereignty. What is the people sovereignty, it's where the people must be involved in the decision making of the government. We cannot be silenced by acts such as the Press and Printing act and others. These acts are a sign that the government don't want our input in certain matters they deem sensitive. The right to information and the right to speak must be upheld in the concept of The People Sovereignty.

Then there is the need to give more freedom to Parliament to in certain cases to over rule the Prime minister and the Cabinet. The parliament is a symbol of people power as it's members in the Dewan Rakyat are chose by the people. The cabinet is not chosen by the people, it's the sole prerogative of the PM. Yes the PM is also in certain ways chosen by the people but he is an individual representing his interest, where as the Parliament suppose to be the people's representor.

Furthermore a more equal distribution of wealth is needed as the people have a right to it as the economic activities financed by the government is in actual fact bankrolled by the people through to taxes.

Finally, our social rights such as the right to be treated fairly by the police or any other government agencies or institutions(such as the judiciary in Malaysia). No more Kugan's case. No more FRU units firing teargas at peace full protest and so forth. If all of the above and more all fulfilled then we have a real change.MALAYSIA HAS CHANGE. Until then, don't be blinded by politicians who claim to champion change but in reality it is a mere gimmick. No political allegiance is more important than the cause of justice,freedom,quality and peace. These values are the foundations of the PEOPLE SOVEREIGNTY THAT WE MUST CHAMPION AND FIGHT FOR SO THAT A NEW MALAYSIA WILL EMERGE WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE SOVEREIGN.
