Point to Point (21)
On corruption, collusion and marginalisation
Cher………………….Kharid, don’t divert people’s
attention on the issue of corruption and collusion by raising the issue of
marginalisation.
Well, we shall discuss the issue of
marginalisation in details after we have enough discourse on corruption and
collusion, the No. 1 enemy to the progress and well-being of a country.
Did you know that people regardless of
creed, race and religion are interested in knowing how you can amass so much
wealth in such a short span of time?
Someone said you are smart, so you have amassed so much wealth in such a
short time. Well, I bear witness, smarter persons than you but they got less
than 1/10,000 of your wealth.
Hei, Khalid, one hand touches the holy
book, Quran and the other hand touches your heart, then you swear if you dare
that you gained so much wealth through the honest means. It is not your relation with PM Abdullah and
have all the accesses to all the advantages, har…….
Swear and say: I am honest.
I wonder if you dare. Dr. M
blared and declared, “Corruption in the air”
He……….. Khalid, wash your mouth and
watch your words before you flare. Did
you know people regardless of creed, race and religion glare in defiance at
your wealth.
You had better be more well-prepared
to explain from when and where you have accumulated so much wealth in such a
fantastic short time. Did you deprive
many and many people of a fair portion through your partake of a lion’s
share? Are you scared of being probed
and investigated like the son-in-law of President Ah Bian in Taiwan?
Don’t, don’t snare at people who want
to know more about corruption and collusion.
Don’t, don’t ‘marginalise’ the issue
of corruption and collusion, our No. 1 enemy to the progress and well-being of
the country.
Har….. Khalid, by raising the
marginalisation of the Malay race in Penang
won’t abate people’s glare on the issue of corruption and collusion which
affect people regardless of creed, race and religion.
Because of corruption and collusion,
we have poor medical service.
Due to corruption and collusion, we
have poor quality roads and bridges.
Did
you know the Durin bridge in Sibu, Sarawak
which actually needed 2-3 years to complete but it has been built about 10
years and has not completed yet. It is
an open secret that the fund allocation has been “pick-pocketed” all the
time. Hence they always said the
authority concerned lacked the fund to complete it and had to wait for next
allocation of fund. So the bridge is so
delayed and so far behind the other 2 bridges which started so much later. The Durin bridge by no means any longer than
the other two. The other 2 bridges built
so much later by some private companies have already started operating.
Due to corruption and collusion,
people are subjected to poor living conditions.
Due to corruption and collusion, many
of our school buildings, especially the Chinese primary schools are far below
the standard set for Vision 2020. The
ones which look up to the standard with so much were paid out of the pockets of
the Chinese community. Imagine the
Chinese have paid enough taxes but they still need to pay some more to upkeep
the education premises. Is it a fair
practice? Please touch your heart and
Quran to express your viewpoint on justice and justification.
(Hei………Hisammuddin, why did you fret
and fuss when Mr Ong Sii Kiat revealed
the truth of corruption and
collusion of the fund allocation for repairing those 2
Chinese Primary school?)
(Her………..Mustapha, why did you simply
apologise to Hisammuddin for Mr. Ong
Sii Kiat for nothing? Did you know that you made a fool of yourself
when you
apologised to the thundering noise of
Hisammuddin?
Corruption and collusion are
widespread at government agencies, of course, the education department is not
spared. It has a long history. It is an open secret, lah.
(He……. Hisammuddin, are you scared of
being probed and investigated?)
(The two cases revealed by Mr Ong Sii
Kiat proved to be true. Are you going to
apologise to him? Nger……
Don’t act abusive again! Listen
and keep cool
until the investigation has come to
an end and with the report before you give
your comments if you want to earn your
respect from the people. You are
incredibly arrogant and aggressive,
har……... Who are you? Is it a democratic
country? Why did you behave as if you were vested with
special right and
power to condemn Mr Ong, har……..and
Mustapha had to condescend himself to
that extent in order to pacify you,
har………..? Don’t behave like a spoilt
rotten
brat again.) (Easy and luxurious life, no doubt, breeds
spoilt rotten brat!)
Hei, Mr Abdullah, please prove to us
in action that you are really serious to
eliminate
corruption and collusion. You have
encouraged people to tell the truth.
That is why you have had high rating as a PM in our hearts. But please be well-prepared to listen to the
truth. Otherwise, the truth can’t be
told as “truth”. Nobody wants to pay a
heavy toll for telling the truth.
You have to know the truth first
before you can set for action, right. So
you know any acts or policies that deter or discriminate people need
rectification in order to create an environment not easy for the practice of
corruption and collusion to take place.
We want to uphold the practice of democracy and people view the
importance of transparency in all aspects of life to align with the practice of
democracy.
How come, it is said (Which deputy
minister say so, please find out for me, friends), no new Chinese or Indian
primary schools will be built under the 9th Malaysian Plan against
the wishes of your fellow countrymen?
What grade of democracy is it?
Check the education fund allocation, do you think it is fair with the
amount allocated to the Chinese and Indian primary schools in relation to the
total amount of the fund? Show it, don’t
be shy. Please set up a committee to
assess / evaluate the fairness in practice.
Look, marginalisation indeed applies well in education fund allocation
to the Chinese primary schools.
On top of that, fund allocation is
often ‘hijacked’ with the evidence to prove.
The recent case of RM 30,000 became 3,000 and another case of heavy hack
(Please refer to the relevant authority for another case facing the same
problem at more or less the same time. )
These two cases were revealed by Mr Ong so much to the anger of Mr
Hisammuddin. I believe that there have
been many cases like these went by unnoticed for fear of rage of the heads like
Hisammuddin. What do you think? Alamak! what a curse! What a shame!
The Philippines has been plagued or
‘harassed’ by the menace of corruption and collusion since the time of
President Marcos. Hence the country has
plumaged to the state of poverty and economic chaos. It is plighted with poor image and low
self-esteem. Very few people view it
positively. The Philippines should serve a very
good example of the pit of how corruption and collusion would plunge a country
into. It is a good mirror for us to see
our situation. Please don’t take corruption
and collusion lightly.
Every mature and well-informed
Malaysian has high expectation on PM Abdullah to hack off the cancerous parts
of the Dr. M’s ministry. His twenty over
years of ministry has left behind too many “hardcore pickpocket” of the
funds. As we all know, “Bad habits die
hard.” So, PM Abdullah must hack off the
cancerous parts and cleanse them thoroughly in order to set on his own ministry
to fulfil the trust people have on him.
We want “Mr Clean” to lead a clean ministry or he will be stained sooner
or later.
Please practise ‘true’ democracy and
let transparency and justice to be the hallmark of governance for Allah / God’s
sake. Allah / God means Love and
Justice. 30% of (privilege) to the
privileged race is not the true practice of democracy and justice. Let this 30% of (privilege) to be the fund
for the poor and weak regardless of the creed, race and religion. This is a good way to prevent Marginalisation
to take place in any race. “Skin colour”
is but skin deep. (Beauty is skin
deep.) I can see that a number of you
are still obsessed with skin colour.
Her, Khalid, the policies that
discriminate will ,definitely, result in marginalisation. Did you know the practice of quota and the
lack of transparency often keep many bright and
brilliant students out of the gate of the local universities of their
choice? These bright and brilliant
students spend long hours studying.
If the polices are fair to all, but due to an individual factor or
circumstances that a person is marginalised to his own accord. For example, Ah Chong is ambitious and he
works long hours and very hard to fill. He endures all kinds of hardship and
difficulties in order to fulfil his ambition.
He even postpones the immediately gratification. But Ah Bong prefers an easy life as he
enjoys “goyang kaki” most of the time.
In the competitive world, of course, Ah Bong is losing out and is
marginalised eventually. This is law of
Nature: SURVIVAL FOR THE FITTEST” It is
universal in application and meritocracy is the ruling factor for a society to
progress. Remember, “God helps those who
help themselves.”
I think this analogy (which I read it
somewhere a few years ago) will help you to understand better. Samy (Indian), Ahmad (Malay), George (Iban)
and Ah Chan (Chinese) are architects.
Among them, George is the best architect of all. If you have to choose one only, which one
would you choose to build the house for you?
Similarly, if they are surgeons, but Samy proves to be best of all,
which one would you choose if you need operation?
Well…………………as long as the policies
don’t discriminate, marginalisation will never become an issue to bother anyone
one of us. If the policies are fair, but
it happens that some people are marginalised, then I think a committee should
be set up with fund allocation to ‘de-marginalised’ these people regardless
of creed, race or religion.
Look, people are born with different
talents and abilities. But our social
structures is often responsible for marginalisation of the people in the strata
like factory workers, labourers, salespersons and other unskilled workers. They are paid incredibly low. If they don’t have other sources of income,
they will be marginalised in the course of time. It is the fact that the cost of living is
getting higher and higher but their salaries are not adjusted accordingly.
In Australia, they have a good and
well-organised social welfare system to help the poor and the weak. Besides, they have the taxation system to
reduce the discrepancy between the rich and the poor.
