看安华事件

最近几天大马政治又起了风暴。虽然我们不是身在大马，可是每天晚上新闻还是可以在头条看到这些消息。

霎时，我觉得再度失望和气愤。

为什么说再度失望？是因为以前已经失望过N次。10年前，或者10年来，或者说，一直以来，长久以来，从来，都是如此。对于马来西亚的政治‘领导人’的智慧觉得极度失望。

第二气愤。虽然我是一个没有履行过公民义务的选民，但我也很失望。我想，如果我真的是有回过家乡特别去投票过的话，我会更加气愤。气愤这些所谓的‘政治家’把我们选民当作白痴。我们都是3岁的孩子吗？我们都那么好欺骗吗？一而再再而三地搬演小孩也不会相信的戏剧上台，这样的事情很好玩吗？这样的行为跟侮辱我们的智慧有何分别？

10年前我还是一个中学生，为安华突然被拉下马的事件感到很震惊，还记得当年看到那天早上的报纸时我很惊讶，啊？突然之间副首相被革职？！然后就看到一幕幕让人痛心疾首又怡笑大方的事情陆续上演---警察首长竟然殴打副首相，然后多少多少次法庭上把一张据说是物证的床褥搬来搬去。。。即便那时我只是一个10多岁的中学生，但也会分辨是非，也已经觉得失望+好笑。

现在呢，10年后了，如果他们又要搞政治阴谋，为什么他们不会想一个更好的理由？有谁会相信一个充满政治野心的政治家，会在这最具有政治筹码的时刻去做这样的事情来毁坏自己的政治生涯？更夸张的是，这位60岁的政治家因为坐牢伤过背脊，还要出国去动手术的，他是如何去鸡奸一个23岁的年轻人？

午餐时我不小心在malaysiakini看到一篇文章，真觉得写到我心坎里去了。当普通的大马人民在为了逐渐水深火热的生活焦头烂额的同时，我们的‘领袖’们却为了私利在搞政治阴谋。

油价的高涨、物价的连锁飞涨、政治局势摇摆不定。。。我们真的deserve这样的对待吗？我们只是想要一个治安安定、政治稳定、经济繁荣的国泰民安之景。

他们大选的时候都说自己是什么啦？？？他们都说自己叫什么了？？？叫‘人民代议士’吗？叫‘选民的声音’吗？可笑~

下面paste这篇让我感同身受的文章。

Anwar episode reveals BN's disdain of us
Liz Chong Jul 1, 08 4:35pm

I refer to the Malaysiakini report Anwar files libel suit against aide.

Is it any wonder that Malaysians were politically apathetic for so long? If you ever had any hope and dreams for our nation, they are at best battered in the storms that have buffeted us constantly in recent decades.

A Malaysian who cares for their home is one who knows heartbreak and disappointment as good friends.

Fifty-one years after independence, the integrity of the election system remains compromised. The independence of the judiciary, let alone the media, is questionable.

Legislation once introduced to combat communists at the height of the Cold War is instead used as a means to silence proud citizens who dare express their opinions.

Even more shamefully, the terms of the political debate have been lowered yet again to the gutter - for Anwar is accused yet again of supposedly sodomising an aide.

This is the best means the leadership can cook up in their attempts to undermine an opposition leader. It only underlines the poverty of their intellects that they sink so low to revive the most inane and grossly homophobic of allegations.

Needless to say, this episode reveals their disdain for the intellect of their electorate. Ordinary Malaysians are struggling to make ends meet amid surging prices. The ringgit is weakening and inflation is already expected to hit a nine-year high this month.

This economic turmoil is no priority for the government, as we see them instead focusing their energy and time on attacking the opposition. At best, this indicates that they do understand just how quickly their grip on power is weakening.

But it also demonstrates that they care nothing for the rakyat - prizing above all, their desire for power. All they have shown us with this episode is that they are completely out of touch in these troubled times.

Unwittingly, they have only shortened their political life span.

It is only fitting here to quote British Parliamentarian Leo Amery's damning speech to the House of Commons as he urged Neville Chamberlain's resignation after the German invasion of Norway - the very words that Oliver Cromwell spoke to the Long Parliament.

Is the parallel not clear? Our nation is at a turning point and we are desperately in need of strong responsible leadership.

And so, as Amery spoke: ‘You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go’.
