Successive governments have replaced practical and pragmatic solutions with outdated ideologies. They even got rid of talented people because they go against the bureaucracy or were seen as disloyal. The entire governance system meant to protect public interest is now broken. Returns on education and development are way below expectations. We have too many duplicating bureaucracy, all self-serving rent-seekers’ interests.
One massive change is to replace this rotten government. It has had too many expensive opportunities.
Anticonmen: Just reinstate equality and the freedoms of speech, assembly and religion of the original constitution. The checks and balances resulting from equality and freedom will work by itself against abuse of power, by any one person or race or group.
No need for all these councils and committees. No need for selfish politicians or parties to mess things up for the people that result in theft from the coffers and dictatorship. True democracy by itself is a perfect system built by wise men over the ages to manage resources for the people. Three beautiful, simple, God-ordained words sum up democracy: Liberty, Equality and Fraternity.
All nations that followed these tenets are successful. All that did not simply became failed states.
Why do politicians and thieves who abuse power and loot in their own countries run to Western democracies to live, put their children in schools or park their stolen assets there? It’s because of true democracy in those countries, which they want, but deny democracy to others in their own countries.
NNFC: What we need is a country where there is law and order. We should not have laws which are not observed by all. We need to have cops, prosecutors, etc, who work independently without hindrance and are not reporting to any politicians. No need for any more councils outshooting from Parliament. I do not see any use there.
Anonymous #03815719: When the original National Consultative Council (NCC) was formed in 1970, Parliament was suspended, am I right? So what what happens to Parliament with NCC2?
Leonie: No need for another 'NATO, no action, talk only.' Get Anwar Ibrahim a royal pardon. Then there are many excellent Malay and non-Malay politicians, technocrats, sociologists, professionals like yourself, who are willing and able to remove this 'lack of trust' in Malaysia. Then they will say, 'the rest is history'. This is the correct time for the 'Mahathir Mohamad-Anwar Ibrahim combination' to work. Will you be the catalyst for this combination?
Hplooi: NCC2 is just replacing one set of political nabobs with another set of nabobs. The first NCC was an opaque institution implementing rules and political narratives without any form of public consultation. In fact any criticism of the first NCC was criminalised under the sedition law.
While NCC1 may have been motivated by (perhaps) some idealism, the absolute power provided under the NCC framework quickly became corrupting. So, I can state categorically that the miasma currently permeating our political structure can be traced directly to NCC1 and the moral corruption it inserted into Malaysian politics. Now, who was it who said that, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results?"
Mosquitobrain: Set up NCC2 with existing Umno warlords and clowns to solve existing problems created by them? Better ask the crystal ball.
Rupert16: Well said, Amanah strategy director Dzulkefly Ahmad. The perpetrators in the 1MDB scam should be charged and money recovered be returned to the public - only then can there be closure of this sad episode of massive corruption by the people at the very top of the country's leadership.
Anonymous 2418081463042685: So true, Dzulkefly. Umno has successfully kept the rural Malays uneducated so that they will keep voting in the BN for peanuts (Bantuan Rakyat 1Malaysia or BR1M).
Whatever happens in Malaysia after GE14, history will record that the perpetrators are thieves and traitors to the country. The real patriots are those arrested and tried for protesting this heinous crimes against the rakyat.
Anonymous 2447961480069542: MO1 sends in the office boy to wind up the company in the hope that the grand scandal will eventually subside. He is allegedly directly involved in the misappropriation but hasn't said a word about the truth of the matter. Instead, he hounds, arrests and intimidates all those who dare to question the fraud and misappropriation.
We are still waiting to know where all the stolen money and the 'donation' have gone? Quiet like a mouse and pretending he has nothing to do with it? Such a shameless person.
Solaris: Does that mean that all companies can also do likewise - wind up and escape prosecution?- Mkini
