having been reading statements by our national leaders, who said one thing and doing the other, for more than 40 years (since I started reading our newspapers): “We are democratically elected…”; “We are fair and treat everyone equally…”; “We have religious freedom…”; “We have freedom of speech…” and so on.
Recent examples were by Najib, “Communal politics harmful” and we all know what he was famous for when he was Umno Youth Chief; and Sharizat, “And I would not tolerate sexist MPs in the same way I would not tolerate racist MPs.” The former is Deputy President of United Malay National Organisation while the latter Wanita Chief of the same political party, which leaders would remind us about their ‘ketuanan’ or supremacy and they have special rights and privileges which aspiring leaders have to champion if they want to move up.
Is it too much to ask of them to state the truth instead of being hypocrites and try to brainwash the people into thinking that everything is fair and square. Just tell us, “we have a different system of politics unlike those practised in the west”; “we are racists who do not treat everyone equally for the past 50 years and we intend to continue doing so”; “we do not practise religious freedom”; “we do not have freedom of speech”; and so on.
We are beginning to wonder if we are still sane because the leaders kept repeating things which are significantly different from what we are experiencing. Even the inflation rate is different – officially 2% while the people think it is at least 20%!
