Elections
The elections are around the corner.
What should we look for in a government? The government is the servant of the people and not their master. In Malaysia, I don't see it being that way. We are enslaved by many policies such as the NEP, poor economic planning, tolls and more.
To those who are in government, every position has a responsibility, a duty and an obligation to those they serve and to God. But sadly, a lot of them serve themselves, enrich their families and become conceited.
A successful economy requires sound financial planning, execution and accountability from the government, but we see one government bail out after another on many mega projects, or see them being swept under the carpet.
There is sacredness in a promise, that a man’s worth should be as good as his bond. When a Prime Minister wows to wipe out corruption, but instead perpetuates its, then what is his worth?
