All Malaysians know that bribery is a norm rather than an exception among the civil servants ranging from a patrolling policemen up to the ruling elites. The police force, rather than the solution to public safety, is more often than not the cause of threat to public safety. The judiciary is a laughing stock being a stage of kangaroos for public entertainment. The ruling lawmakers have blatant disregards for laws they themselves enacted. What's puzzling me is, Malaysia being a democratic country where the people decides the government, why are its people still voting these same people into government until today?

  1. Russia is a "democracy" too


  2. well, maybe they terrorize people to vote, or they are like Taiwan. Maybe you heard of the protest a few years ago against the president. The president's party, to get supportors to rally back against the people that are protesting against him, paid some people to go and "be their supportors." Maybe something to that extent

  3. well the same can be said for the american people:

    the federal government is a foreign government to the people living in the fifhity union states, just like france is a foreign government to them!

    1. your money has been taken away gold and silver.

    2. Congress has turn over it's responsibility to a private corporation known as the Federal Reserve System, which controls the value of the paper money.either with inflation or deflation!

    3. they keep telling you we are free traders, if private corporations control your country's money, there is no way you have  free trading because your are dealing with private not public currenencies!

    4.you government has agreed to the federal reserve act which does not allow the american people to pay off the pricinple of the debt. so you will never pay off the corporate national debt.

    5.they have taken away your sovereignty as american citizen and made you a franchese of the corporate state!

    wake up!

  4. The main reason is, Malaysian People are being intimidated into submission. Perfect example is the case of former Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, Answar Ibrahim,  who when he became popular with the Malaysian People was remove from office and a trump up charge of sexual harassment (sodomy) was serve him.  He went to jail but was later absolved in 1988, when protest from all sector of the Malaysian Public became widespread.  Then last week when Anwar Ibrahim spoke at a rally, the charges of sexual harrasment was again rekindled and again arrested, how can anyone charge a person who was absolved of the crime and charge him again of the same crime (the very original charge)  This is a very clear message to all opposition or anybody who is a threat to the political power of any incumbent Prime Minister.  

    People are afraid!!!  

    And who said that parliamentary election is fair?  It is rigged and doctored so that the opposition will never have the majority of seat, remember guns, goons and gold works all the time specially if you are the one holding the position.  So how do you expect ordinary Malaysians react to such systematic intimidation?  Unless, SOMEONE who has the balls to go against the institutionalized corruption of the past and current government (UNMO), like Anwar Ibrahim, things will never change.
