Anti-Establishment

Anti-Establisment, a human perception which has now surface much clearly especially after the March 8 elections. If you were to backstep in general, the Pakatan Rakyat has so called "won" the elections just because the previous goverment has lost 5 states to them. The parliament now holds a bigger number of opposition MP's rather than the previous ones.
It cannot be denied that their victory has proven that the federal Barisan Nasional goverment are now facing a difficult time as the mind set of Malaysian changes. Every now and then you can hear various non-govermental organizations, members of parliament and people alike doing street protest let it be peaceful or not. The voices of the people are now bigger that it ever was since the 1969 racial riots. The citizens of Malaysia are tired of the indescency of the previous administrators who indulge in their special privilige rather than attending to the matters of the peoples concern. Power was abused and justice was abandoned.

Tired of this, the people of Malaysia opted in voting for new and some even way younger politicians as to give them a chance after the previous failed them. Malaysians are now becoming more matured in some ways revolutianizing themselves to become masters of their descisions rather than the previous goverment who has forgotten their path in serving our nation for it is when we say serving the nation, it is serving the people of this land and soil. Hurrah to Malaysians alike!

Although good in their intentions, however, the people have inevitably given much confidence to the opposition in addressing matters of the citizens in the parliament giving them the confidence in showing their thoughts and ideas on every issue discussed in the parliament.

But this however is giving an unexpected result as the opposition is being more
and more ridiculous in their "crusade". Opposition MP's are unfortunately being more over-confident and VERY anti-establisment in their views. Every single matters discussed and every single idea given are ALWAYS rebutted or refutted by the opposition ket it be good or bad.

Now we understand that it is their duty as to oppose the goverment. Numerous things are different starting form their stands and their views. No surprise in that. However is it really necessary for them to deny even good ideas by the federal goverment? Sometimes theres this immature aspect of politicians. For them the concept is this,( in simple terms ofcourse)

'Whatever it is that my enemy says, i hate it, i despise it, and i shall always deny it'

This is a crystal clear example of anti-establishment. Anti-establisment ( or AE as i prefer writing it cause its really annoying to write it a lot of times) can be put in a way as when one goes againts whatever ,and when i say whatever i mean whatever, it is that another person says, they are againts it, good or bad. This i believe is wrong, stupid and immatured for as a country, the goverment and opposition are suppose to be working together though in a weird in peculiar way. The role of the opposition in the parliament is to oppose the goverment in which their ideas and discisions taken can then be much better. I believe that the opposition is the liberal conscience of the goverment which is good cause only then the Federal goverment can actually make appopriate choices parallalising with the people of Malaysia themselves.

However, this role has seem to be forgotten as their mind is working towards anti-establisment. I remembered reading in the News Straits Times this month that when asked upon if PR would be disbanded, a PR member affirmed that because of their component party members ( PAS,PKR and DAP) HATRED towards BN, they would never or could ever be disbanded and it is this aspect which unites the component members. I seriously don't care much about their hatred because I'm an honest political atheist, though it would seem that hatred isn't much a good aspect used even in any
terms remember John Lennon "All We Need is Love"? Haha, anyways back, but this however disturbs me as it seems that they are implying that they will always go againts the federal goverment. Hatred is a huge word if used and clearly politicans should be careful in using it. I'm not saying that they do but I am saying that they might.

It is sad to see when a good idea gets shot down just because of unsimilar establishment. Anti-establishment can be seen as an immature side of politics which bring total ruin towards good ideas and options critical to the moment. It becomes
apparent that when such side of politic prevails, Malaysia shall lose out in becoming better. When good ideas or thought are denied, where can there be progress?

Remember the story 'Singapura Dilanggar Todak'? Remember when the boys ideas was ridiculed by the ministers? That is a classic example of AE as the perception of that time was biased againts everyone other than the ideas of the Sultan and ministers. AE people are selfish as they only care about their own ideas and never considerate of others. This is often mirrored in debaters who would never ever agree with the opposing side regardless of anything. If one tells them that
fishes can live in water only, another would say no and comes up with some ridiculous point which most of the time would be convincing. This is if you want to know the most annoying part of debaters. Clear example of anti-establishers.

Thus anti-establishment is not what we need in our leaders. Thats all. Simple.
