What is Rafidah talking?

This, I simply don't understand. The BN had a hell of a time since 2004 with a thumping and a VERY landslide majority with almost 95% of the seat in the lower house of Parliament. Forget about the upper House. That is a mere rubber stamp anyway. A first since merdeka. Such majority is very much unheard of in a democratically elected countries. Now when our Iron Lady mentioned that BN must win by a bigger majority that I presumed must be a either a total wiped out of Opposition Parliamentarian in the coming election or making it 99% of BN representative in our Parliament that supposed to be the highest law making body in the country.

She also says that a bigger majority in the coming general election is to enable the BN leaders to chart another 50 years of prosperity, unity and growth. Now, I' must pause awhile to think whether are we actually living in prosperity, unity and growth. With all the happenings since the 2004 election where our PM made numerous promises including the famous phrase of "Walking the Talk" and curbing corruption, as at to date it is still the old same thing. Ask anybody in the street I believe it will be the same answer. Maybe Rafidah forgets that why BN had 95% was because the majority felt that there was hope in the new PM but alas, that hope that we hoped for doesn't seems to be seen.

As a matter of fact, I'm still hoping but then again my patient is limited. I feel that something must be done to see all Malaysian be treated equally. What happen to corruption in the civil service and the government. Are we truly living in prosperity. Looking at our currency, we are far behind compare to the economic growth enjoyed by our neighbour Singapore. I believe our Ringgit is once upon a time the same as the Singapore dollar. What is happening now?

I can't imagine to see 99% of BN Parliamentarian talking rubbish like what had happen in our Parliament today. Our Parliament will continue to be a talking shop when you have the same old people sitting there warming the seat. I believe most of them do not know their role in Parliament except talking rubbish and making very unnecessary and irrelevant remarks at the expense of tax payers money. Just imagine we are paying their salary for them talking nonsense. There is no sense of accountability and responsibility.

If they dare say that they are doing the job, why don't parliament be telecast live for all Malaysians to see. We want to know what is happening to our country. We want to know what are the laws that are passed in Parliament. We want to know whether matters such of importance are debated with great care. I believe also that many Malaysians are willing and wanting to give our opinion which regards to the bills that will be passed by Parliament.

I cannot accept the fact that Rafidah wants more seats for the BN, just for the issue of prosperity and unity. I believe we want to see Parliamentarians that are responsible to their constituency.

I am afraid this lady is in her dream world. Has she not heard how the man in the street feels in the way the Government is being run and all the misdeeds of the MPs, the civil service, and the judiciary. The never ending complaints on the delivery system and how the people are dissatisfied with a lot of things viz mega projects etc. Does she want another 50 years by which time we will be at par with the poorest countries. There is a joke going around that in 5 to 10 years time Malaysians may have to go as domestic servants to Indonesia. She is in self denial and I wonder with her record of AP dealings, whether she would be in the line up for the next elections. Time will tell.
