Bullshito... the way of change

While the ancient samurais adhere by a strict code of Bushido, the core of honor for the old knights of japan, our modern day Malaysian politics decided to change. For the new generation, we need a new way. When "tak boleh", we have to be "boleh". When it is still 2008, we dream of 2020... and thus the new way of Bullshito is born and preached, by holding on to the ideologies of extreme bullshit, there will come a day that we achieved all our dreams, there will come a day where Malaysians stand tall in the eyes of the world...

*sigh* I would like to quote Aragorn: "....but it is not this day."
I can only foresee an hour of wolves and the day where the courage of Malaysians fail...

While I am far away from all these, I feel the same pain while reading about the detrimental of thoughts among the higher echelons of the Malaysian government. I feel the same pain hearing shouts of defamation and accusations being spat from the very mouths of leaders that I respected and trusted to lead us all towards a more honorable path. And on top of that, definitely the pain that I will not be able to share my study experiences and the knowledge I accumulated overseas with my fellow countrymen without being dissed and trampled by the government we elected to protect and represent us, citizens of Malaysia.

I may be a naive fool when it comes to politics, but even I can tell that some things are definitely wrong. Yes, Malaysia is a country of democracy and freedom, but heck it is also a country of exploitations. Exploitations that are not by others! There is no longer SHTI that tries to bluff our sultans to give them more land, there is no longer any Portugal, Holland or British colonial maniacs wanting more property... this time, my friends, we are exploited by our own leaders... I am starting to wonder if Malaysia is now a conglomerate instead of a country, dedicated to serve the pockets of the privileged few.

I have always come to believe that a person that is once a leader, will forever be a leader. And a leader, not just serves his people's best interest but to educate them about the common goal. I can ramble all day about the weak leadership, I guess it is simpler to say that the words I hear everyday from them can only be summarized as: BULL SHIT. Is there even a common goal in Malaysia when we allow the world to think our opposition likes backdoor operations? Is there even a common goal when our country's ex-leader talks like a bored uncle in some coffee shop spewing 'weightless' words? Heck he even blogs like it is laochaboh.com (at least laochaboh has positive views)! Is there even a common goal when we dice up our supremos instead of helping them achieve the Malaysia we all desire? Perhaps there is a common goal: Malaysia the laundromat, a place for all dirty laundry, especially welcomes undergarments...

Alas, we all only complain. Sad to say its a case of like father like son, top bengkok bottom senget. At times when fuel prices are soaring, we all seek help from the government by giving them more bullshiteous words. At times when they wash their cloths, we help them hang the laundry. We say our leadership is weak, but they think it is the people that are weak. They are not there when we ask for more, and we are not there when they need us to say go forth with the people's power! Theres no mutual respect. People want change but theres no better side. Neutral people, dillusional government, furious opposition.... the worse kind of circuit board - one without connection. sigh... this is no doubt not the full picture, but if there is nothing wrong, tell me what is right... it is already a bullshiteous effort to even bring out this one puzzle piece...

Yes. A new age has arrived. All hail the SangMurais of modern Malaysia, ultimate practitioners of Bullshito. Emblem of our Development, Embodiment of our People, and Emperors of their own pockets.
