It looks like Malaysia has made headlines again -Global Corruption Index , apparently we are up there at the top. They Put Amounts lost in the past 10 years around RM 300 billion. Wrong reason we are to be at the top
Somebody wrote something positive finally on turmoil and changes in Malaysia since the 2008 elections, ie there are more choices, and there is both awareness and contention with ruling BN on what People think Rights should be and demanding accountability. I think is this a well guarded view optimistic and cautious - do read up on both the corruption and this matter in www.malaysianinsider.com
In India , we see a cruxification of Shashi Tharoor a minister in the Indian Cabinet over his tweet " Cattle class, when referring to the economy class trip he recently had" poor chap . His own Party mates called for his resignation and received a rebuke form Sonia Gandhi. For those who are not familiar Sonia Gandhi is President of Congress Party and Even though Dr Manmohan Singh is PM, Sonia is de facto power behind the throne. And Dr Shashi Tharror is both a scholar and gentleman , formerly under secretary of the UN and accomplished writer and diplomat. Arguably the most suitable candidate INDIA ever could put up for the Sec Gen post .Did not get the job mainly due to US not backing the candidacy.
Well it interesting , that these great Indians in the Parliament took offence to Shashi reference due to cow being a sacred animal and most Indians could afford only the economy class and being below the cattle class was in their minds derogatory. Poor chappies...I wonder where was their unilateral calls when Arjun Singh HRD minister did not really create much jobs or only fiddled with Quota system in IIT and IIM and thereby reducing these esteemed institutions credibility somewhat..or when Thackeray clans continue to divide Mumbai in to Maharasthrian domain and non Maharastrian domain. Frankly India and most nation do have a lot of things which are both immediate intrest and of pride that some cattle class remark and in the scheme of pharses a standard indian uses Sala , Kuthe, Kamine and many other expletives and unmentionables..
Which comes to my point , Politics and politicians on the whole are sometimes Poor, Poor in character and bankrupt . they rather indulge in pitiful effort like these as long as there are guys for wasteful protest etc, they can garner votes using such trivia , rather than operate on platform which needs execution ability like fixing hospitals or schools
They also promote their children into politics as this is one field that does not need capital, skills etc to succeed , just fathers backing...
I would like to see one election in India , where 90% of all eligible voter voted with ticks and crosses on both opposition and ruling party - with a remark both are equally useless written boldly...there will be hung Parliament , but would make there lok sabha, rajya shabha would be think very very hard on why they exist.. Pure revolution - we need to think very deeply about this matter
what is the worst could happen, IAS and IPS and Judiciary runs the country, well these people slog , have qualifications and project management skills, Governess can sign bills , the country can go on really until 6 months or a year time from the date of hung Parliament , Communist , Congress, BJP and all other happy go lucky parties indulging in partisian politics and politicking need to comeback to people with compelling options
Unless there is pure revolution in thinking and acting something change cannot be forced
any way it all seems like wishful thinking..
In where i live, Sydney , Australia, 18 months ago Kevin Rudd swept aside John Howard to become PM. One of his immediate acts included apology to Stolen Generation, gathering 1000 bright Australian minds to provide a 100 great ideas amongst other things...
He has yet to let us know what these 100 are or even what he would do to implement even 1. My take is even if government allocated some money to execute 10 or 20 of these, it would result in betterment jobs, education etc and is measurable. Instead when economic crises came each tax payer got $800 which is mostly spend to pump the economy and more such cash handouts to come..seriously we need more creative thinking rather than spending ourselves out of this economic meltdown - my premise is best explained in another Blog below
So all these guys Malaysian Australian Indian Politicians - Nope Stunt Wallahs - no gumption to execute anything..
IF each member of tax payer , thinks and votes with eyes open, considering his or her decision carefully , then we all would see different action chief
1) we would not vote people below 35 who have not made anything of themselves at any level,,why would you seriously - otherwise we just got a talker a job nothing more really and boy do these guys talk - they can turn a chaste women into Harlots
2) Do not vote a guy or girl with no clear cut plan and measurable milestone which is easily communicated - again no plan means planned to fail and taxpayers do not need it
3) never ever vote anyone who uses terms like Government, I am minister etc, look for consistent vocabulary that i am your servant , we are doing public service, Seriously government should be replaced with Public Service ie service the tax payer and community. Small matter but clearly reflects people thinking
we can continue to add to this filtering list- but will stop boring you all
