“Genuine interests of the other communities”. This was the first eye catching words used and it did strike a chord in me. That press statement issued by the Keeper of the Rulers in response to the current state of affairs in our country right now. While I will not go into sentence by sentence and attempt to interpret it’s meaning and the messages intended, I believed you would have come across many other blogs with such analysis, I will only resound my evaluation of the statement to derive the intention of it made at a time when the country is going thru a political uncertainty.
While stressing the importance of unity and tolerance, it emphasized on many instances the Malay’s rights and further elaborated on the government stands against acts of chaos and social unrest. It would seem that those responsible had only acquired limited exposures of truth thus straying dangerously away from their agenda in seeking for resolutions. In actual fact, the crux of the issues was never on rights, but considers a trespassing of cultural properties and entities to a realization which was necessary to make aware of oversights and compromise needed to attain an agreed common wisdom and acceptance.
It was indeed noble and patriotic that such statement was issued but it falls short of any solution or definite end in sight to our current situation. What it did was enhancing the ideas of differing ethnic and racial groupings categorizing them between the rightful ownership of birth rights by history and the migratory status of our forefathers.
As our nation, including our government leaders are beginning the embrace the digital information era, albeit being behind after a disastrous kick-in-the-butt showing of the last general elections, our leaders cannot ignore the fact that the people had and still voicing their dissatisfaction after conventional delivery proved ineffective.
To date I’ve yet to comprehend why in this country the fundamental channel thru legitimate means although it appeared only thru press statements and media’s highlight of events, controversies of differences in perceptions and social territorial encroachment, were not addressed by the relevant leaders or arbitrated via intermediaries. Instead, the judiciary found itself suddenly with a sea of lawsuit cases and subsequently the clamping down of so called provocateurs with the use of ISA. Judgment and punishment seemed to be the solution.
Whether the use of ISA, rightfully so in it’s nature to maintain order and harmony in the country, applied in a non-hostile country like Malaysia and it’s citizen in the least combat minded, at a time when tolerance and virtue is of the most crucial and critical. The ruling party, to elevate their image to an acceptable level to the people and reinvent themselves with promise of greater performances to show sometimes only in graphical forms, by doing so, evidently showcased and paraded a range of incompetence and discrepancies in their implementations for the benefit of the oppositions onslaught.
It further aggravated the sentiments of hardliners and even generated sympathizers which are now believers by as much as the sands on the shores. Credibility of the government is now at risk or already have as each justifications of its’ actions resulted in more controversies and raises doubts as to the intention of safeguarding the country’s well being or simply the ruling party credentials – past, present and future.
After more than 7 months of soul searching and with an agenda to revalue their worth to the people, the ruling party obviously had chosen a path to sustain their grip hold with the ascendance of a successor that is equally questionable on its level of integrity.
The assurances by the rulers to untangle complications thru a check-and-balance factor to the people is somewhat deluged with more statements of nobility standings and assertions of its status of rights and seeking all to complied to the Federal Constitutions and in it the clauses are deemed undisputable. More tried to interpret and understand these verses so intellectually and eloquently phrased, key and prominent figures have yet to offer real settlement in physical forms other than mere psychological reliever.
What it did do is exonerate itself completely from the confusions and uncertainties with spiritually enhanced sermons designed to offset the rising change and needs by the people for the ruling party to maintain a tradition that is still sacrilege and bountiful with material wealth of immerse proportion to a few elites and power house that far out weight the ratios spread of a greater population.
The wave of change is imminent. Whether by a stroke of the pen or a slap on the wrist, the signs are there and the final call of descend will requires one’s patience and perseverance.
