Again race and religion became the main issues after the election result which was concluded on 6/5/2013.
The mainstream media playing very dangerous race and religion cards to bury the fundamental facts.
We have seen leaders from both exchanging bullets on these issues.
Generally, majority of Malaysian especially the generation Y 'muak' i.e. fed up with these issues. For them, these are the outdated issues. Another issue is the May 13th riots.
I am wondering why in Malaysia, these issues became so prominent and getting good coverage from mainstream media.
These issues are outward and irrelevant for the country which gains independence 56 years ago. The inclusion of Sabah and Sarawak in 1963 should have strengthen the unity of all races in Malaysia but what had really happened after the implementation of policies which are aim to unity did otherwise.
Whose fault of this debacle?
The 'rakyat' i.e. people further has been divided and segregated by creating class society to serve certain 'elite' people within.
We allowed them to manipulate us. Therefore it is our fault. We failed to recognize or differentiate between a political party and a government.
Political party means an organization to gain political power. Whereas a government means the political direction and control exercised over the actions of the members, citizens, or inhabitants of communities, societies, and states; direction of the affairs of a state, community, etc.; political administration.
A political party when obtained a simple majority in the election will be invited to form a government. Like what happened in Malaysia a day ago.
A government will not be a political party. The older generations of Malaysian failed to recognize this simple difference.
For them, a political party is the government and vice versa. This is an absurd interpretation.
Whereas for the generation Y, they seem to understand the notion well. As I observed recently, they never identified themselves with a particular race rather as Malaysians.
This is a healthy and progressive direction for the nation.
But the problem is there are people who walk on the corridors of power, live in a dark age and failed to accept the demand of changes of this generation Y.
Race and religion are the yesteryear issues. It no longer important and irrelevant for this nation.
The most biggest achievement of the people who had ruled us is by disunity among us.
The generation Y is able dismantle this proposition.
For so long I have not seen politicians (??) discussing about the world economic, national security, foreign policy and region issues objectively.
Most of the time, they are discussing the same old and boring internal issues where they had huge interest to protect their means.
Is it selfish?
National interest is paramount and not a person interest.
The generation Y is moving forward to this direction steadily.
The change is inevitable in near future.
Kuala Lumpur.
