Jala O Jala!

Surprised? I’m not. In all fairness, let’s be gracious enough to accept the 16th position in the rankings out of 59 participating countries. We win at times and we lose sometimes! Really, it’s just figures and numbers. Let’s not lose sleep over that!

The rakyat would indeed lose sleep when the government does not practise what it preaches! With a slapdash approach for transparency and integrity, no wonder we’re number one for slapstick comedies! Still complaining?

Looking into issues and areas of weaknesses and finding ways to improve them? How? When?

Take a long and hard look at the plight of some of our top scorers who were “unintentionally left out” despite having excelled in their examinations! Scholarships meant a lot to them. What’s your excuse PSD (Public Service Department)? They do not qualify because they are not “good enough” or because of some other reasons? I know it must be for “some other reasons”! Lest you, the PSD need to be reminded again – it is the rakyat’s money, not yours! Be generous – you have nothing to lose, right? Unless, of course you have a memory like a sieve – always forget things easily! Can you still sleep easy?

Some 1,000 disgruntled Malaysian fishermen in Kuantan, Pahang staged a protest claiming that the Vietnamese trawlermen were allowed to fish in Malaysian waters using locally-registered boats with used licences! Malaysians are bullied from within and without. Their complaints have been going on for a number of years and what have the muddle-headed halfwits in the government been doing all these while? Again, can you still sleep easy?

Another landslide – this time at the Rumah Anak Yatim Hidayah, an orphanage at the 14th mile Jalan Felcra Semungkus in Ulu Langat, Selangor. Again, who do we blame? Someone has to take the rapt! I’m sure the government will come up with a pretty good excuse. Precious lives were lost and it won’t be long before we will be told; “We’ll look into the matter” – again?

And again I asked; “Can you still sleep easy?”
