What do we do with a rotten apple?

Even Dr Mahathir Mohamed has told us that the government is ‘rotten’. What do people do with something rotten? Such as a rotten apple? Do we eat it? Or do we give it to our love ones? Or may be present it to our neighbors? Or we simply keep it wrap in nice wrapping? The answer is yours and only you know it.

Malaysia is governed by a bunch of monkeys whose business is of course "monkey business". You can't blame them for it is their nature to destroy everything that comes in their way, our freedom, our Constitution, our rights to equality and justice, our humanity and our decency.

But may be Malaysians are addicted to the BN like the drug addicts to the cocaine or crack? May be the voters have been brain-washed to tick the "weigh scale" in the ballot papers in every election, the party symbol of the ruling Barisan Nasional or national coalition front.

There was a joke that the Bumi only know the symbol of the BN and do not care who is the candidate and what he do or how he intends to serve. Another one goes like this "it doesn't matter who is the candidate, even a water Buffalo will do, as long as it is under the BN ticket!"

Malaysians have a long way to go and only they can make a difference and the political parties can only be as good as the voters. So what do we do with a rotten apple? We will see soon, i.e. in the coming general election.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away. So you need good apples. TDM is probably fed up with the BN that he said it is rotten. He shouldn't say it actually because this is the party that enables him to be the best Prime Minister that Malaysia and the world have ever seen. Of course at the same time, people accuse him of many things. Indeed without that kind of money, you cannot create a Putrajaya, a Cyberjaya, a KLIA, a KLCC,a Telekom tower and all the modern day infrastucture. Money buys materials. Money buys heart. Money buys manpower. Money buys brain. The initials for Malaysia Boleh is M.B. Replace that M for money. Money boleh. You all expect ACA to do something. The ACA cannot because the very obvious fact is it is a government agency and which government agency would go against another government agency ? No, unless it is directed to do so. If the ACA is to investigate the nation's money, all their officers will suffer from depression for sure. Example. David, would you keep Subang airport ? Do you agree to the building of KLIA ? Personally, Subang airport is still usable. May be it can be extended and rennovated. The KLIA boasts nothing but to tell foreigners that we can be that great. I am not sure if that is what foreigners want. May be on the international level when it comes to doing a business transaction with foreigners and in order to convince them that we have the capabilities and we have the materials for those kind of business transactions. So now the government is changing the government service. All money used must be documented and reported. There should be some rules to decide when will a transaction be called a corruption. Like buying from a private firm and somehow they charge a higher fee. In the tax form, there is a column for hadiah, meaning giving presents to the government and the cost can be exempted from tax. It does look like corruption, doesn't it ? But somehow it looks innocent. You can state what present you give away and how much and you get your tax deducted. So while we talk about getting rid of corruption , somehow we are still practising corruption. Does it occur to you people out there ? Some opinions would be appreciated if you want to change the government.

Malaysians hang on to Barisan Nasional because this was the party that gave them independence. It takes something equally important to stop them supporting BN.
