Current Politic Scenario

Last weekend I was in KL.
It has been my monthly routine to be in KL at least once in a month – minimum.
I will visit my sis, loved ones and my friends in KL.
On Friday night there was a BBQ party at my sis place.
Some friends and relatives came down and as usual the chaps gathered and started conversation on politics.
Yeah, it is very interesting and hot topic in our country right now.
Well, I’m neutral party when it comes to politics because politician is just like 4 seasons in a year because they change accordance to time and situation.
We as voters only can choose which “season” we liked the most but sooner or later it will change by itself or by other forces.
So, when it comes to politics I would say I like all 4 seasons as it has its own advantages and disadvantages but as normal human being I just wish all “4 seasons” can preserve harmony and peace in the country.
If we look back to our country history, our forefathers gained independence through democratic process. In another word, it was very peaceful and without any chaos. So the history has clearly said that the Malaysian since 50 years ago already practice tolerance and created mutual understand to live together peacefully and harmony. This is the core of our nation essence for its success. I can’t deny that Barisan government had done wonderful job for past 50 years for what we are today. But if you understand the concept of product life cycle - any system, organization, party or even our life as individual has the implication of PLC. It is whether we realize it or not.
In this concept there is 4 stages which are Introduction – Stage 1, Growth- Stage 2, Maturity – Stage 3 and Dead/Rebirth – Stage 4.
I would say that Barisan is already completed stage 3 and now it is in stage 4.
From 1957 – 1963 ( Stage 1) ,
1964 – 1975 ( Stage 2)
1976 – 2004 ( Stage 3)
2004 onwards till today – Stage 4
If we look in today scenario of our country, the younger generation - whom I consider those born after 1970, prefer Barisan should be replace with new party.
The propaganda by Barisan about national unity and integration are no longer valid as they fail to realize that Malaysians already united in 1957. If we never amalgamated, I don’t think so we can gain our independence. Only the politicians are talking about racism, polarization and schism. In order for them ( Barisan) to continue stay in power this is merely politic gimmick which not relevant in our country.
Each Malaysian have at least minimum of 1 friend which different from their own race. The simple example I would give whether Malaysian have been united or not is when it comes to food. Nasi lemak ( Malay Food ) and Roti Canai
( Indian Food ) become “national” breakfast, Chicken Rice ( Chinese Food) become common famous lunch for Malaysian and Dinner - j food vary from Char Koey Teow, Thosai, Chapati, Nasi Kandar, Nasi Kerabu, Soto Ayam, Sizzling noodle and et cetera. We understand different culture very much and have good understanding on it. It is not fair at all to say that Malaysian is not UNITED. The only thing which I feel we need to focus is to have clear conscience, free from racial biasness and work as TEAM ( Together Everyone Achieve More) to become leading nation.
It is time for Malaysian to find new avenue to reach this goal. The current government lack focuses on this and I won’t blame because once we are too longer in any position, we will be in comfort zone and can’t see underlying issues.
We tend to tell ourselves that we are doing the right thing but in actual we are not.
That’s why I would say it is time for us to give chance to new party which can brings us to accomplish this common goal. It is time for Barisan government either rebirth with new vision or gone by the wind. For the new party – people front, I would like to wish them all the best and can lead us for brighter future. Giving hope is one thing and to achieve it is another thing. I HOPE, our HOPE will be materialized and not only remain as HOPE.
Vision without action is a daydream.
Action without vision is nightmare.
I believe that the only thing remains unchanged in the world is changes.
Let’s create changes in politics.
Be wise – please don’t vote for party as it is merely symbol but vote for people ( regardless of politic background, skin color or personal gain)who can speak for us and struggle for our rights.
Cheers!.

P/S – this is only my view and not meant to offend anyone.

Decision,Discipline & Determination

I would like to share something which I recently read in Forbes Asia.
This is story about Wong Fong Fui – Singapore’s 37th richest man. He own Singapore’s oldest companies – Bousteadco Singapore. He has transformed the company now called Boustead Singapore, from a hodgepodge of mostly unprofitably business into a well-regarded provider of industrial engineering and infrastructure. What I’m interested more is his hunger of success. He born into a poor family in Johor. He became a rubber tapper at age 7. “Life was tough – all I saw every day was rubber trees and mosquitoes. My early objective was to escape and live in the city”, Wong says. He taught himself English by buying a dictionary and studying ten words a day. He woke up at 5 am each morning to listen to the BBC on the radio. He was accepted into secondary school after he wrote an essay, “My Store”. An excerpt: “ I tap rubber trees. I see rubber trees in the morning. I see rubber trees in the evening. I see rubber trees
every day, day in, day out. Rubber trees, rubber trees. I hate rubber trees”.

After I read this story, it makes me to wonder what actually determination can mean to someone. Its trigger me on Thomas Edison quotes:
The first requisite for success is
to apply your physical and mental
energies to one problem incessantly
without growing weary
.
Decision, discipline and determination are keys for success.
There is one book by Brian Tracy -“Eat that Frog” which help on character building and steps to achieve goals in our lives.
I think that’s all for today snippet. I hope it is not boring as this is my first try.
I’m very excited and looking forward for healthy and encouraging comments.
Cheers.
