The Sleep Walking Prime Minister at Malaysians' Expense...

Someone has commented that what Malaysia now has is a sleep-walking Prime Minister in the form of Datuk Badawi who has managed to sleep-walk through his first term in office.

For us Malaysians, PM’s sleep-walking has resulted in the following occurances:

• Roofs of government buildings somehow fall/leaked;
• The crime incidence is increasing to the extent that one is not even safe in the vicinity of one’s home;
• Temples being pulled down even those had existed magnificently during the British time (are the present government less tolerant than the British?);
• Protest demonstrations by many groups including Hindraf and Bar Council:
• The Lingam Tape which was suppressed during the previous administration now managed to resurface after 10 years;
• Land frauds with the connivance of those in charge;

…just to name a few.

I think the moral of the story is that if one is an ineffective leader, just don’t try to flex his muscle to launch jihad/crusades such as anti-rasuah and anti-others. If one is a lame duck, just let the sleeping cats as they are.

However, the sleep-walking Prime Minister, flushed by his landside election victory had to ruffle feathers and they just released the floodgate. As the saying goes if one can’t do the job, let go and let others take over. Along the same vein if the Malays can’t do the job, give the other races a chance. After all we are all Malaysians and we live and die in Malaysia. The other Malaysians are here to stay come thee what may.

May God has mercy on all of us.
