Failure and more Failures, from Parliament

First, LEAK, then SEXIST remarks, then OTAK UDANG and BODOH and now Malaysia hears Parliamentarian rejecting an urgent motion by Opposition Leader, Mr. Lim Kit Siang for Parliament to debate a serious and urgent issue that doesn't concern political affiliation or touching racial or religious boundaries but mainly to discuss an issue that is in our hearts SAFETY AND SECURITY. It is a heart cry from the people not only in Johor but Malaysia as a whole that issues such as this are rejected. The issues of crime is serious and has to be tackled before it gets out of hand.

So reading it from Uncle Kit's blog on Parliament's failure to discuss rationally is simply outrageous. There is nothing politically about it. As such everybody, should vote for it and debate issues of national importance. Where are the parliamentarians representing Johor? Where are their voices, when the Rakyat need them. Are they suppose to be that Datuk Seri, who would just simply sweep under the carpet by saying PLEASE GO TO THE PROPER CHANNEL? I wonder what does he mean to the "proper channel"? Isn't it not that Parliament is the proper channel and forum to discuss and debate issues that touches the heart of the people and are of national importance.

It is disheartening to see my wakil rakyat not wanting to have anything to do with it. Why is it voting a proposal by the Opposition seems to be an alien thing to do? Everybody must cry out in disgust to reject CRIMES as acts such as these are not to be tolerated by all of us. Something serious has to be done. If Parliamentarian refuse to act for the rakyat, then who will? Should then the Rakyat takes to the street to demonstrate peacefully?

Is beefing up police presence by having 400 police personnel or more and temporary police stations in shop lots will eradicate and reduce crime and because of that Parliament should not debate it? NONSENSE. I'm sad that our representatives are not willing to do good and what is just to see that Malaysia be a better place to live in. What the people of JB and Malaysia want are no more just verbal assurances from the Cabinet or from the MCA but immediate steps and actions so that our loved ones could, I quote from Uncle Kit's blog, "immediately feel safe in the streets, public places and the privacy of their homes – today and tomorrow and not in the future..."

Dear God open the eyes of the people in high places, in our Parliament, so that they will see the truth. Set them free O God, from being blinded by their political masters so that conscience will prevail in their hearts. AMEN
