CHANGE FOR THE FUTURE GENERATION



By :STEPHEN YAMAN

WE must vote for CHANGE to get rid of people who are corrupted, abused of power, greedy, practice cronyism and double standards, make empty and false promises, use power and position to award mega projects to own companies, divert peoples’ funds from organizations for their own selfish ideas and projects to benifit themself.

As you would have known from past experiences and records, you will notice that the same few old politicians are trying to come back disguised under a different umbrella or political parties hoping to come back, grab power and run the government. These already proven 'dirty' people must not be given another chance, mandate or seat to come back as “old habits die hard”! You would have known their styles and habits and therefore you must think carefully when voting for them.

These groups of politicians are now campaigning very hard for the people to put them back to be elected as the peoples’ representative at the Pilihan Raya Umum 13 (PRU13). So, beware of “wolves dress in sheep skin” and vote wisely don’t be fooled again. PRU13 is a very critical phase in the Malaysian history.

For many voters who have lived through the 49 years of Malaysia, and the government always told us that Malaysia is outstanding and with great achievement. For the simple Malaysian layman, there is no need to analyze via macro or micro economics.

Just look at the Malaysian Ringgit versus Brunei/Singapore Dollar in exchange rate. In 1978, RM1 equals B/S$1. Today, RM1 equals B/S$0.40 or B/S$1 equals RM2.47. Brunei or Singapore has no foreign debt whilst Malaysian foreign debt runs into hundreds billions of USD.

Our country manufactures and produces so many products, very rich in natural resources and is agricultural base. Brunei and Singapore imports lots and lots of things from us because they do not produce many things. They pay for the products we export to them. Why is it that they have no foreign debt?

In 1963, Brunei didn't join Malaysia, and later Singapore left Malaysia in 1965. Perhaps Brunei and Singapore would be like us today had they been part of the Malaysian states. If Sabah and Sarawak had followed the footsteps of Brunei and Singapore, what would the economic situation of Malaya be like then and now?

So, think wisely, my friends, who will you elect to be the 'managers' to manage the next Malaysian government after the PRU13? At present, with the funds Malaysia has, the 'managers' are running our 'company' (Malaysia) at a loss for the last 49 years and continue to report losses. Do you want to keep employing these managers and then bankrupt the company? Or are you ready to 'CHANGE' these bad managers?
