Last night, our PM was on television (a surprise because not according to tv schedule published in papers) being interviewed by China's tv host on his recent visit there. When asked how he wished to be remembered, said something about wishing to be fondly remembered by Malaysians... from their hearts. Wow, don't know about others, but could he? Not by his nasty actions in grabbing Perak for BN, among others.
He is also into blogging to reach out to the young Malaysians who admittedly shun the mainstream media. But he should forget about getting them interested in what he has to say, just think of the generation gap for a start. They are in a world of their own and they have a mind of their own not easily influenced by disguised propaganda.
His mentor, Dr. Mahathir, was responsible for Anwar's black eye and I have yet to see any form of remorse, let alone an apology. Now, we are about to witness another round of dubious court trial on another charge of sodomy, widely believed to be framed. It would seem sodomy is the greatest crime in our country, worse than those who plundered the country's coffers of billions or even in some cases, murder.
His efforts in wanting to unite the country seems hollow when his actions seem to anger the people more and more. Anwar, a fellow Malay and muslim, but who is on the wrong side of the political divide, would be treated with contempt and ridicule.
Apparently, President Barack Obama, in his telephone conversation with him, is full of praise of Malaysia's development. Do we need America's praise when other times, we had been so critical of them? The same with Singapore. If Malaysians are so against Singapore, why bother trying to attract their investments?
How should we judge a government?
In Malaysia, if you don't watch television or read newspapers, you are uninformed; but if you do, you are misinformed!
"If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." - Malcolm X
Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience - Mark Twain
Why we should be against censorship in a court of law: Publicity is the very soul of justice … it keeps the judge himself, while trying, under trial. - Jeremy Bentham
"Our government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no
responsibility at the other. " - Ronald Reagan
