I watched "Man of the Year" on HBO just now. Robin Williams starred as Tom Dobbs, a comedian and host of talk show who runs for president. A flaw in the electronic voting systems wins him the election and become the new president of United States, to everyone surprised including himself. I'm not here to make review on the movie but it was one of the joke quotes that caught my attention.
“Politicians and baby diapers are alike… in that they should be changed often and for the same reason"
Considering the situation of current government I agree with the statement....its true in every way. I used to love talking about politics and economy in this country but not anymore. Malaysia's political scenes and our economy spectrum sucks after Tun Dr mahathir stepped down. Nothing seems to be interesting to follow anymore.
I miss Tun very much. I remember paying my full attention to him every time he's on TV talking for press conference, interviews, UMNO speech and even the Budget session. He spoke with passions and energy unlike some leaders who only mumble and grumble but incapable of making bold and intelectual statements. During Tun era, I read newspaper everyday to follow current issues and I wanted to know if he was in or out of the country, which conference and summit he'd be delivering speeches and so on. I even bought few books about him. I'm not obsessed on him but I really wanted to get to know this complex ambitious figure, a controversial man who had visions for his people and the land he administered. He was full of confidence and charisma. He showed us that he was indeed the leader of our nation. I really love him...no matter what people said about him he is still my man...the man who made me proud of being Malaysian. His legacy remains for his contributions as the Prime Minister who brought Malaysia to the eyes of the people and to the rest of the world. Everytime I see Petronas twin tower or when I'm at Putrajaya, I always remember him. I even shed tears when I saw his photos from Marina's blog. That's enough to show how much I adores him as the Great Father of Malaysia. He is one heck of a politician who don't need diapers because he can surely wash himself...unlike others who over-used their diapers but still don't realise or want to admit that they smell like shits...Opps...this is what happen when I talk about current politic. It sucks and I just don't want to bother until I see some leadership in I-know-and-you-know-who. I can't write nor speak the name coz his name is "tabooo" (like "Voldermort" if you follow the Harry Potter story).
The truth is I-know-and-you-know-who will always be in the shadow of Tun until he find ways to step up and be the man he should be. It takes more than the title of PM to actually become one. This country need someone who make her feel proud of bearing Malaysia name while we, malaysians has be part of the system...not the one to be bullied by the system. Tun modernized this country but I'm afraid that we're heading to the de-modernized Malaysia. I can't let this to happen. As the general election is around the corner, unless the previously elected people clean their asses now (I doubt it), the majority might put on the new babies with clean Mami poko's in the new line up.
OK la...I had enough of political talk...I believe I got migraine already...Aiyoo...later la...cannot stand laaa...
