The Reality

 

You know I have heard many times how people are saying it will be the same whoever we vote for. I beg to differ. 20 years ago it might be the same but today looking at how other countries who were once on par with us and are now a hundred steps ahead of us do make a difference. 

A vote for stability or a vote for growth and change? Personally this General Election has made me think very deeply as to what do I actually want for myself and for our country. No doubt everyone wants a stable and easy life but think deeper and ask yourself is that enough? I am no judge but I believe our votes this time round reflects our livelihood. Either we have been poisoned to the core to believe that stability is all we can have OR we are awaken by the truth making us hungry for growth and change which in turns brings true stability. 

You know I have heard many times how people are saying it will be the same whoever we vote for. I beg to differ. 20 years ago it might be the same but today looking at how other countries who were once on par with us and are now a hundred steps ahead of us do make a difference. It ignites the fire in us wondering why we are left so far behind. What did we do wrong for the past 50 odd years? And is there no cure? 

My dear Malaysians, 

Times have changed. In this era of technology advancement, we are no longer katak di bawah tempurung (Like frog underneath coconut shell). Every move a person makes, we can see and know very clearly. It is a little scary but it also allows us to see the on-goings and correct the wrongs we have done for the many years we have lived. And if we are clean, we won't be afraid to be seen naked. Now with all the articles in the tabloids, read carefully to see what is the difference with the ruling government and the opposition. Which of the two cares for the rakyat and which only cares for themselves? Those in power are they qualified to be holding the important positions in the government or are there be better candidates out there? I am not here to put down either sides but I am making use of this technology advancement to show you the truth. Sometimes, the care shown might just be a chess move to trick us. As they say, anything to stay in power. 

By now, you should know that I am for growth and change and I believe the opposition can provide us with these. The opposition is made up of people who are not satisfied with the ruling government. These people are each and everyone of us who yearn for a better Malaysia. A better Malaysia in the sense that we are on par if not better than then other nations who were once on par or even worse than our country. Take Singapore for example. A small little tiny island is a hundred times better than our country in basically everything. How on earth did that happen and why? Very simply, look at the qualifications of the those in power in our country and compare with those in Singapore or whichever country you prefer. After you have done so, compare the qualifications of those in power in our country with the opposition candidates we have in Malaysia. Now you know why I am rooting for the opposition? Simply because they are much more qualified to hold the important positions to spearhead growth in our country. 

As I have said earlier, the opposition is made up of people of all walks who are yearning for growth and change. These are people with intellectual capability who have figured out that our country can actually be a powerhouse if we want to. This is why they chose to join the opposition's cause to fight for change which will provide us with growth and true stability. Unlike those who only care for their own livelihoods, those in the opposition care for our future generation and beyond. A better Malaysia can be achieved if we truly want it. This time, simply by a vote for growth and change. This is the least we can do for a REAL BETTER NATION. The choice is in your hands so is the choices of your children and theirs. 

For a better nation, 

PY
