The below is a letter from Hannah Yeoh. Just for the record, I support what is right and not just any leader. Mind you, Hannah Yeoh is not asking for people to support her, but people who will stand for what is right.
So many people have been telling me just how frustrated they are with the current political situation in our country. Some have told me that they regretted voting for change because of the political instability now and would prefer returning to their old style of voting - vote for stability and forget about having a stronger opposition and greater check and balance. I shudder at the thought of this!
One needs to remember the reason why we are seeing such great resistance for change is simply because there is much to lose for those who have been in power for so long. For decades there has been so much abuse of power, unchecked misuse of public funds and plain dirty corruption. With a stronger opposition now, they stand to lose their illegal sources of income and some may even be charged and sent to prison if they are found guilty.
With this in mind, they will fight at all costs to reclaim back power and to ensure they can continue to steal public funds from the people for their own enrichment. We are not just dealing with differences in politics; we are combating evil forces who will not rest till they secure back their powers and illegal sources of income.
Sometimes I feel equally frustrated and disillusioned about the political situation too. Sometimes I lie awake thinking of how to effect change in this land. Some days I cry while driving in between meetings thinking of what's left for the future generation in this land if we give up now.
I have endured much verbal attack from political enemies, accusation after accusation of me not doing anything for my constituents and etc. No one truly understands the resistance we face daily in discharging our duties except for my fellow PR assemblymen.
Robert Kennedy once said ‘*Progress is a nice word. But change is its motivator and change has its enemies.*’ Our enemies are resisting change but we must stand firm and continue to push for a competent, accountable and transparent government.
At the end of each day, as I lay myself to sleep, I ask God for strength, wisdom and protection to face the next. I look forward to the end of the term when I can tell the people of Subang Jaya that I have remained clean and have not stolen any of the taxpayers' funds.
As reminded by Raja Petra in his blog "*Please continue your struggle to make Malaysia a better place for our future generation. This country belongs to them and it is for them that we struggle.*" All hope is not lost. Come the next election, vote out the corrupt once and for all. Hang in there supporters and friends, the best is yet to come!
Wow.. This are the words written by a citizen of Malaysia. I agree to what she has said that in the case of instability, its because of the fight of power between good (non-corrupt) and evil(corrupt). Obviously, when there is an opposing force things will have to shake and eventually fall for a new power to rise up. The purpose of this text was to enlighten the citizens of M'sia that when things are going bad, we should remain strong and firm to what is right because the only reason it is going bad, is because the good leaders are shaking the bad leaders.
So, we Malaysians should not enter FREAKING immigrant mindsets- what is that mindset? I'll explain-
"getting worse la this country, move out la"
"not my country, this country stepping stone to australia oni(only when things are bad)"
"my future generation will suffer la, must change country(kotek you, you go other country doesn mean better-if your definition of not suffering means not partaking in bad politics then I would say your brain is very small. When your kids which is your future generation grow up- you think when they stay in more developed countries(australia, america), they can get job? they can be more successfull? they can have a good pay? where are they going to stay? apartment you noe friend... how many millions of people who are more talented, educated, and experienced then you compared to in M'sia? Why they want to hire an indonesian worker when they can hire local?
but we should continue fighting. Imagine at the very last battle between good and evil which hence would decide who would be leaders of the country-we back down, we give up, we care not... then what is the whole purpose of our fight? Might as well give up at the very beginning.. We have already started shaking the bad people, let us continue doing so till the end!
You have your talents, gifts, and voice to make change and stand for what is right. Don't waste your energy critizing and say what is right and what is wrong. Just do what is right-play your part. I believe in every good fight, the end is always near, a time where our children can see and experience good public transport, trustworthy civil workers, loyal and integrity government servants, dynamic ecosystem with its splendour of trees, roads, and infrastructure. We will be better than other countries but humility being the essence of our development, not pride and arrogance. We can make a change, we can make a difference.
