The State of our nation today: Grim.


Every decision appears to be influenced by racial and religious divisions, aiming to appease those who didn't vote for these MPs. Unfortunately, they are neglecting their own supporters who are eager to see the nation progress.

Our leaders are lacking genuine capabilities; while they excel in delivering speeches, they fail to meet expectations when their true nature is revealed. We've experienced the disappointment of discovering another devil beneath the veneer of a promising leader.

Despite their election just nine months ago, we're committed to enduring their leadership for another four years. It's baffling; since they are aware of their impending fate in the upcoming GE16, why not take courageous steps at present?

For Malays who voted based on racial and religious lines, progress isn't a foremost concern. They are hesitant to compete with non-Malays and neighboring countries.

They remain embroiled in ceaseless politicking that is likely to persist until this government collapses. Regrettably, they show little concern for the legacy they are bequeathing to future generations.

Balancing the government's stance is a challenge; being too assertive invites accusations of dictatorship, yet appearing weak results in criticism for accommodating radical Malay politicians and ulamas.

Among the ulamas in positions of authority, some remain silent, others are disorganized, and a few appear indifferent. Meanwhile, higher-ranking figures are preoccupied with safeguarding their privileged lifestyles. The rational supporters of this government are growing increasingly impatient.

Conversely, the opposition consistently seeks openings for a shift in power. The outlook is grim. As a nation, we appear to be heading toward deterioration unless substantial efforts are directed towards improving conditions in the states that accepted this coalition government, rather than attempting to win over those who are indifferent about their own future. The odds are stacked against them, with their supporters jumping ship and non-supporters unlikely to cast votes in their favor.
