MCA’s Leadership to Change – minus a Ministry?
Corruption and racial politics are two main top ala-cartes on the ruling government’s menu headed by UMNO. These two authentic cuisines are so delicious that after 52-year of independence they (corruption and racial politics) are still being practiced by the ruling BN government.
Just like in the stock market whereby the stock prices are determined by sellers and buyers, the corrupt and racist BN can still survive simply because the voters strangely endorse such culture. It’s true that you can’t put the blame entirely on the ruling BN government for the massive corruptions and the politics of racism. Hey, if there’s no demand then there should be no supply, literally, so blame the voters.
Of course one can argue that the people were to scare to voice their dissatisfaction after the “May 13, 1969” racial riots that killed many innocent people. Malaysia is a great country not too much because she is disaster-free but because this country seems to enjoy endless refill of wealth. The discovery of oil led to the formation of Petronas in 1974 of which the actual accounting remains the greatest government secret till today. Coupled with other natural resources the country is so cash-rich that it would be impossible for the ruling government not to plunder the wealth. Of course the standard modus operandi to do so is to jack-up many times the original cost of projects. Hence the name of the game is to create many gigantic projects, never mind it’ll become white elephants.
