Sheer Desperation

Before I embark upon my most controversial write up ever , let me again clarify myself as an educator I seek to board on a neutral objective path that do not take side. I acknowledge our government is corrupt and dysfunctional, and it needs to be buried when I say buried I meant they are not going to come back. Scandals after scandals such as the most recent cow scandal, diamond rings, misuse of power and funds and finally abusing students protestor had jaded the will of the people. The Malays have now realized that UMNO is no longer there to protect their rights but rather to abuse those so called special rights. With the ever growing access to blogs and social media this conspiracy of  so called protection of Malay rights have become nauseating to the Malays themselves thus not only making the party unpopular but also irrelevant.

PAS, which is an Islamic party therefore, is the most relevant choice for Malays. PAS given its reputation have always been a party that championed Islam and Islamic Government, recently have taken a more liberal path to appease their non Muslim counterparts in PKR and DAP hence have caused a lot of dissatisfactions among their members that mainly are fundamentalist  clergymen.

DAP, being a secularist on the first degree have somehow moulded PAS, to abandon their idea of Islamism, come up with the idea of a welfare state, yes logically to get 2/3 majority in parliament to change the constitution is next to impossible, It is not a question of impossible or possible but rather of a question of principal. PAS being a party that is championing for Islam should not compromise their idea of Islamic state but rather should try to make DAP or PKR understand what it is all about. Have not the people in PAS learned how the expansion of the Islamic empire in the golden age, how Muslim Islamise Europe, Africa and Asia by establishing an Islamic state.

Anwar Ibrahim in my personal opinion (nobody need to agree or critic me for this) driven by his power hungry motive is prepared to anything necessary or eliminate anybody who is not on board with him in his parade. In my opinion as a historian anybody this hungry for power usually is a recipe for disaster, again history have proven this, Hitler , Henry VII, just to name a few. Men like this are more likely to cause damage to the society rather than improve the nation. When power has become the ultimate agenda nothing else matters.

In a  nutshell. I can conclude this, politics is a very dirty game, let not be caught up in it, lets vote for individual that would benefit the society, drop this partisan politics lets help change the situation by being the change you want to see
