Over the past weeks, I encountered different arguments, for and against the situation in Perak, much depends on which side does one stand for. Not about siding? Unfortunately it seems to be the case, no matter how convincing and sensible your argument is. Most will not agree for the two to work out a solution even if the PM is sincere to cooperate. To them most of BN suggestions and actions are constantly ridiculed, demonised and disrespected. BN is doomed in Perak, a suicidal. Justified or not, the exco, speaker, police force, judiciary, financial institutions etc are often criticised in the heat of political scrimmages.
However there are also some who realised that no one gains from constant condemnation of the government. They insist to compromise, by allowing BN to change for the sake of stability and better life. To think about it, we are indeed heading to a healthy democracy. It is only a question of leadership on how to change the mindset of the civil servants. Our society is better served when the government from both BN and PR truly understand the concept of ‘wakil rakyat’, with check and balance base on equality and fairness, not merely doing it for political exigencies. It is encouraging to see Lim Kit Siang and Anwar Ibrahim agree to discuss on a solution with the PM. We Malaysians want a strong, loving, clean and supportive government.
