So is the Malaysian government still playing the same old song or is there a new lets get ready to rumble mp3 available? Or is everybody still smiling like what the Malaysian tourists always say when they visit Malaysia? Who wouldn’t be smiling as long as they can make profit out of you

Back to the Malaysian politics: well: there are a few rumbles:

1. sultans pointing their own leaders in their states in stead of following the government’s recommendations
2. 1 of the leading party’s youth delegation asked the prime minister to take the blame and step down. Yet he was not politically punished for making a statement like that.
3. here and there some politicians are starting to make noise that Badawi should step down.

Now how does the rumble go down for the leading party:

1. sultans can choose their own leaders, as stated in the constitution made by the ruling party: so be it. Although Badawi had a conversation with one of the sultans, that sultan didn’t change his mind. Why should he: Badawi isn’t the constitution, is he?
2. the youth delegate is not "punished" in any way… or so it seems. We already know that Badawi isn’t a man of many words. Speaking his mind and showing his cards got him in big troubles many years ago under the Mahathir reign. Seems Badawi learned his lesson well: speaking your mind openly is no guarantee for success.
   Mahathir loves to sing it out in "I did it my way", for Badawi silence is golden…
3. what about those politicians that now say Badawi should step down but yesterday said they fully stand behind Badawi? Today say this, tomorrow say that… a great way to loose your credibility… what are you going to say tomorrow? Will anybody be listening still?

Show your true colors…

Ok, it’s true: the leading party lost a lot of their seats but bottom line is: they still hold the majority.

So if you want Badawi to step down… why you want that to happen now and you kept quiet all the 5 years that Badawi was in power? What is your message when you say you want Badawi to step down?

• or you never agreed with Badawi but you never spoke your mind?
• or you always agreed with Badawi but now when things look bad, you point the finger to him and have no blame yourself? (Keep in mind: the entire party lost, wouldn’t it be more logical that the entire party should step down?)
• or is it in your personal interest when somebody else than Badawi is in power, therefore: who is really concerned about the country and its citizens?

Is there a problem in the streets? Oh yes there is: prices are going up, education is still poor, safety is still a feeling everybody is craving for.

Is there a solution?

It’s easy to point fingers but can you really come up with a transparent plan where everybody can see where the money goes and what kind of spending is wasted to the politicians in stead of using it for the country?

And do we really have the political party to sing a new lets get ready to rumble mp3? Maybe Penang now ruled by the opposition can show the way to a better Malaysia for every Malaysian citizen.
