For the past few days, a drama has been going on between a Malaysian Chinese boy in Taiwan and government officials here in Putrajaya/Parliament.

Behaviours displayed have been shameful, to say the least…and accusations have been hurled, feathers ruffled but no one dare comment on the real issue behind it – the truth.

So this is Malaysia.

Perhaps very few people share my view but I must say it anyway. I have been reading about the whole drama involving Wee and the government and it amazes me that the Government has gone to such huge lengths to demand this and that from a young man who speaks nothing but the truth.

In his song, he sang of corruption and the many daily realities that we, the common people, had and have to go through. To him, this is Malaysia not the Twin Towers, not the flags and etc. And you know what? HE IS RIGHT. We live in a corrupt land. So how can the truth be insulting? Did the Ministers bother looking at the video in its original form or did they merely base their accusations on hearsay? Did they probe into the realities and look between the lines before they cast the first stone?

Yes, he is 24 years old. Yes, he is a university student so he should know better but you know, the Minister who said those offending words about the Batu Gajah MP was nearly 60! HE SHOULD KNOW BETTER. He broke the law so he should face the music. Well, what about Zakaria who failed to pay his summons? Is he in jail now?

Every day, Ministers go about their business offending the people of this country and the country instead with their trivial debates, with their corrupt and lacksadial attitudes. How come WE can’t stand up to them?

“Never challenge the government” said one MP over national TV yesterday.

My loyalty and allegiance is to God and country NOT to one leader or the government – please get that right. When the people pledge their loyalty, they pledge it to the state NOT the government. His words only go to show that the government today has become pompous and arrogant, disrespectful of their rightful duty and responsibility to the people. THIS is insulting. So where are the apologies?

And to think, we are turning 50 and yet the leaders of our country still behave like children. If anything, I am angry that I’m being lead by people like this…and we tell our young ones to lead by example. Disgusting and hypocritical really.
