Once upon a time, a frog was kissed and it turned into a handsome prince. Now, that rings a bell on a tale, doesn’t it?
Today, Malaysia is infamous for breeding frogs of certain kinds –
politicians and so-called non-governmental organisation (NGOs)
“leaders”.
Recently, we even had a prince who turned out to be a frog.
The prince was a NGO “leader” who championed for civil rights, transparency and the fight against anti-corruption.
After attaining recognition, the prince ventured into politics and joined a political party in the Pakatan Rakyat (PR).
Soon after, all was not well and this prince of frogs quit on the PR
and started hurling all kinds of allegations and accusations against the
PR.
Suddenly, to this prince of frogs, PR is to be blamed for all the ills in the country.
He forgets the Cowgates and the scandalous gates opened by the
Barisan Nasional (BN), especially Umno, which are plundering the
country’s wealth.
Need I even tell you who I am referring to in this Malaysian tale of frogs?
What is clear, to Malaysians who have stopped giving blind support to
BN after 55 years of Merdeka, such frogs have no credibility because
they say one thing when they are in the BN and another when in the PR.
They can even return to either when the situation suits their political
agenda.
There are also a third kind who claim to be a third force – those who
quit BN or PR and announce they are “friendly”! Friendly to whom? I
believe it is $$$. These are jokers who have no backbones.
So, how much value do Malaysians in general give to transparency,
accountability and credibility? The answer will be reflected in their
choice when they cast their ballots in the next general election which
must be called latest next June.
To me, I support 1Malaysia. But 1Malaysia is certainly not exclusive
to BN or worse still, the fork-tongue Umno! It belongs to all Malaysians
who genuinely want to continue to live in harmony and see Malaysia
prosper.
