General Election, so what? Back to same old' shit!

My physical body may be in Australia but from time to time on a daily basis I do browse through our local newspaper web page, The Star Online. Political hyped up again as the UMNO General Assembly Meeting commences on the 24th March 2009 till 26th March 2009. Well let me redefine the word 'everyone'. First and foremost I bet no one in their rightful mind cares about the upcoming UMNO internal general election, although in exact we're looking at the selection process of a future Prime Minister or to be more precise, the handing over of power between current Premier to his successor. There is no difference between now and after the handing of power. Nothing to be anticipated about. No revolution, no reformation, whatsoever compared to the previous handing of power ceremony between Mahathir Mohammad and Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. During that time, people in general as in the working classes are hoping for a new era of heavy reduction in corruption among the bureaucracy of our administration. Reduction of red tape, and so forth, but unfortunately Abdullah himself had landed his ass in the hotpot after the 12th General Election. According to some statistic which I can't really prove because I can't find it but I'd certainly read it couple of days ago, that 65% of the Malaysian population do not agree that Najib bin Razak would function as a good Premier. As they say, he may have excellent pedigree lineage or we call it 'blue blood", from having a father and an uncle both being former Prime Minister before and a younger cousin as the current Education Minister, yet he lacked the primary drive to further push his position upwards in the eyes of many rakyat and that is people's support. I placed my bet that the upcoming three by-elections would be swoop up by the oppositions, unless some hanky-panky happening. Which ever, I am never proud of my nation's caretaker (a.k.a. government). Speaking of that who does? Bruno, Marco, and Ellena from Italy hated their government, especially their Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi. Ellena once told me "We're never proud of our government, especially Berlusconi". And my reply "I'm also never proud of my government". Romain aspirant to be a future politician, currently studying Master of Political Science, stress that he never really bother the work of his President, Nicolas Sarkozy. Eddie Moore from Bendigo, Australia, hated their previous government under the leadership of John Howard. According to him, he's the worst Prime Minister Australia had ever had. Justifiable with the tremendous humiliation at the loss of a general election. The Australian government under the Rudd administration is just slightly better. Eddie stresses that, he doesn't agree with the remark and programmes of Kevin Rudd to curb global warming because it gives privilege to the industry players which ultimately means giving them opportunity to pollute the environment, which is back to square one again. Over the years, democracy may just be a form of government that is slightly better than Dictatorship or Monarchy rule. However the case, we can never satisfy everyone with one solution.

For a moment of thinking, I kind of thank Dr Santha for teaching and grilling us on citation and referencing when we're back doing SAM at Taylors. She will usually get so boiled up, when we can't cite correctly. The horror in her class, but then again we manage to pull through. S7 people can tahan punya from harsh treatments. HAHA!
