AS each day passes on, we can see clearer the true color and character of the politicians. It was obvious. All the sweet talk, that they are here to serve the rakyat were blatant lies. They have no shame or conscience.
GLC positions have become their prized spoil as a reward. These positions come with huge remunerations. It was money and position for supporting someone in power. It was to support the loosely and hastily formed coalition without principles.
The excuse used was “for race and religion”. Is that true? Now, in hindsight, you can see the truth. It appears that these GLC positions were used as “bribes” for their support so that they can stay in power. Religion? Race? They lied to you! The truth is for their own pocket and greed!
Rakyat, please wake up! These politicians lied to you. They said that they are here to serve you. It is not true. They were elected not to serve you but to serve their greed for power, positions and money.
They used religion and race as a front to solicit your support. They want to be seen championing the cause of religion and race, and use all sorts of lies and slander to convince you that if you do not support them, you are actually betraying your own race and religion. What a lie! Actually, they used the race and religion card as a smokescreen for their personal agenda, that is, for their own greed for power and money.
Please note down their names and the parties they represent. Remember never to vote for them again, no matter what sweet talk they may give you in the future. The rakyat do not need these kinds of leaders. They are the ones who earn big fat pay while the rakyat suffers and toils day and night to make ends meet and put food on the table.
The rakyat do not deserve these kinds of self-serving leaders. We deserve better than them. In fact, the rakyat deserves leaders with the best brains and with impeccable character and integrity to lead the nation. And Malaysia is not without them. They are around. To look for them, you will have to cut across race, gender and age. The virtues and character qualities of integrity must be upheld and be the standard for anyone aspiring to lead the country.
Enough of crooked politicians, who are only good at lying and slandering others. Away with politicians who use race to create imaginary fear and insecurities in the Malays, thereby exploiting their vulnerability so that they can gain support to further their own selfish interest, greed and power.
Look at the politicians. Most of them live a detached life from the ordinary rakyat on the street. The one thing they are good at is their big mouth.
You all deserve much, much better than the present set of leaders. It can be done, if you do your part at the next election… not to vote for these liars, but to encourage and look for people with integrity to lead the nation, irrespective of race or religion. – May 5, 2020.

Bersatu, a racist party, should belong to PN, an alliance of racist parties.
PH, a grouping of multi-racial parties, should only welcome multi-racial parties only.
The last administration proved its UNWORKABLE to have an ultra racist from a racist party to lead a multi-racial coalition.

Unfortunately, most are in the private sector.
Except for a handful, only Malaysian scums, morons, lazy, intelligently challenged, criminally minded, etc who are rejects and failed in the private sector enter politics as they see it as a fast track to fabulous wealth, by hook or by crook.
Compared to many other countries which recruit their brainiest and most talented and we can see why they are so far ahead in development and success.
