Are you happy with your leader?

[superadmin]

If you could be the prime minister for one day, what single thing would you do to improve the governance of Malaysia?

Some young Malaysians may not be aware of the different political and social landscape older generations once enjoyed. Many only know that their lives are ruled by race, religion and rasuah. Previous prime ministers have lurched from one disaster to another, like the 1MDB scandal.

What is your idea of a good leader?

This may be a very simple question, but the answer needs serious thought.

Past PMs, since the early 1980s, encouraged nepotism, corruption and cronyism. Most of their friends benefited from closed tenders, as did their families. They became wealthy from government tenders, from corruption and from stealing taxpayers’ money.


So what did we get after voting for them?

Some of us may treasure our RM50 or the RM500 one-off BRIM payment. Then we became livid when we looked at photos and read about Hermes Birkin bags worth several hundreds of thousands each, the imported sports cars, the luxury watches, the palatial homes worth millions, and overseas bank accounts. What do we have? The Proton and a plastic bag for which we are charged 20 sen.
