Enough!!!
I think the time has come for everyone – from all walks of life – to express their dissatisfaction at our politicians. This madness has got to stop. I mean, we – the rakyat – struggling to make ends meet and our politicians are more engrossed with their own problems (political and/or private).
I suggest that those politicians to take one step back and look at how the people struggle to live their lives in this difficult time. I mean, the rate of inflation is already 7% and soon, the central bank will increase interest rate. Someone made a remark the other day about how Malaysians are still out at the mall on a shopping spree, which means, Malaysians are not that affected by the increase in costs of living. But, what that someone failed to notice is that the ones affected are the low income people who had no other ways to change their lifestyle due to higher costs of living. I mean, the middle income people can change their lifestyle because their lifestyle consists of necessities and extras, such as eating out, holidays etc. But the low income people are already living a very basic life. How else can we expect them to change their lifestyle? These people are the ones who are badly affected by the high costs of living nowadays.
Unfortunately, our politicians are more interested in saving their own asses than concentrating on these people. One politician is busy meeting his party divisional heads trying to salvage his already dying political career. One politician is busy fighting rumours about his involvement with a murder case. One politician is busy clearing his name from an alleged sexual misconduct. There are also politicians who are busy defending their decisions to pamper themselves with luxury cars. The list can go on and on. But none of them seem to care about – at least to me – the plight of the rakyat today.
Honestly, I am exhausted by all these political dramas. Politicians who are more interested in their own personal matters should resign from being politicians.
