THE PRIME MINISTER AND HIS IMPORTANT MESSAGE

one of the things that i keep hearing whenever i voice my desire to go back to m'sia would be "janganla balik... malaysian economy not very good at the moment. p*k lah not doing a very good job". although there could be some truth in that statement, i don't feel that the economy is THAT bad that i won't be able to get a job. i mean - hello, it's ME we are talking about here (ya allah, takabbur nya.... hahaha. i was just kidding ok?). and whoever it is that runs the country would not have a direct impact on my employment opportunities back home right. but after reading this, i got worried.

fyi, i've never been a big fan of politics. it's filthy, and you can never know what the truth is because all the channels which provide the information to us (the tv, the political blogs) would have some vested interest in one of the groups. how do i know what is right and what is wrong then? and for someone who is very susceptible to being lied to, politics is (and never will be) my cup of tea.

but i only came to this realisation as i grew older. when i was younger , i used to watch those live telecasts of the perhimpunan agung (remeber those non-astro days when all live telecasts could only mean that the show is great and thus should not be missed?) . it was quite exciting to watch them announce the members of the majlis tertinggi. i remember there was one time when p*k lah was a candidate for the majlis tertinggi. and i remember rooting for him (just for fun) because he looks like a very nice guy. you have to agree with me, among the one-look-and-you-know-they-are-not-very-nice-people politicians in our country, he does stand out quite a bit with his fatherly, innocent appearance right? but of course, it takes more than having fatherly, innocent look to run the country. a certain amount of intelligence is required. we are talking about malaysia here ok? a land where geniuses (like me and you - the reader :P) are born. we need a leader who can LEAD and guide us to greater heights. NOT to tell us to keep our buildings clean!

i don't know about you guys, but i was angered when i read the article! i mean, with all due respect mr prime minister, you are running a country here - not a kindergarten! do you NOT have anything better to tell your fellow countrymen than to ask them to keep the buildings clean?!! even if you feel the need to reiterate that to your fellow rakyat, shouldn't that be left to the city council mayor or something? just take a look at some of the redundant, non-value adding statements made:

The Prime Minister said no doubt Malaysia had many beautiful buildings, “but we need them to be clean and attractive so that people will enjoy looking at them.”

Abdullah said there were many housing estates and villages in the Federal Territories and advised the councils to ensure that these too were kept clean and pretty.

“People are an important element. Without dynamic people, cities become soul-less.
(and without a dynamic prime minister, the country will penni-less sir)

am i the only one disturbed by the unsophisticated way of thinking demonstrated by our leader? no right? RIGHT? (getting all flustered and sweaty for no apparent reason)
