I hope to project 50 reasons (if not more) why it will be extremely difficult for the Barisan Nasional Government to hold o to power what with the coming 13th General Elections.
To begin with the government has got it all wrong with trying to rally the people's support. Malaysia as done fairly well when compared to other countries not only within the Asia context but the rest of the world too.
People get frsutrated and annoyed issues affecting their daily lives, lifestyle and quality of life are encroached, threatened and affected by actions of government which could have been averted.
REASON NO 1
Crime and security.
A Malaysian today is not safe anymore, be it at home, in his neighbourhood or even in public.
You cannot leave your doors open anymore.
You cannot trust your neighbours.
You cannot allow you children to play in the compound or in the neighbourhood.
You can't walk to the market alone.
You can't event park your car safely.
You can't have a maid whom you can trust.
Why?
Our streets are infested with foreigners, illegals making the bulk of them. Statistics have shown that foreigners who came to our shores for survival were either left stranded , cheated and had to fend for themselves by turnign to crime.
They do all kinds of odd jobs which should in fact be done by our own people, school dropouts, retirees, the jobless who are now turning to drugs in their escapism.
Do we need foreigners to operate a car wash, do we need a foreigner to be a cashier at a petrol kiosk or even stand around at the pump either waving a flag or doing "nothing".
Is this the government's policy on filling jobs available.
Millions are transferred out through Western Union and other money transfer kiosks that have sprung up to cope with teh demand of foreigners sending Rinngit to their homleand in their local currencies to the value of many times their fold.
Do we need foreigners to be waiters, cooks, cleaners, gardeners, grass cutters, garbage collectors, dish washers, electricians, contract workers, drivers, taxi drivers, bus conductors, the list goes on and on.
They are here to survive because of our careless immigration entry regulations while most of them sneak in as "tourists" and go underground. The Tourism Minister sees the statistics and reports gladly that "tourist" arrivals have increased year after year not realising that illegals are coming in abusing our immigration regulations.
Kuala Lumpur as a cosmopolitan city cannot possibly handle a million tourist arrivals let alone millions, so who is the minister kidding, especially when travel and tour agents are still complaining.
But this is another issue. Let's not digress.
Foreigners encroach on our public social ammenities right from public transportation to government clinics to name a few.
Ever tried boarding a public bus. You will probably be the rare Malaysian on board. Does it surprise you that the common man does not take the bus anymore.
Question is, who is to blame for this stat of affairs.Its definitely not your next door neighbour.
Ends.
