Recently there is this whole "hooha" in Malaysia on the Bersih situation. To tell the truth I'm never someone who is very into politics. I always thought politics is dirty. Be it the governing party or the opposition party, each has it's faults and it's strength.
As a very normal person, all I want is peace, equal rights and being able to see transparency within the government system. Are the things done for the good of all parties in Malaysia? Not just the Malays not just the Chinese not just the Indians, but for everyone? Is it benefiting everyone or just someone? Is the voting system good enough to ensure what I vote for is what I get?
To tell the truth, to me, that is actually more important than who wins in the next election!
At times, we do not know who's doing the "right" things and who's doing the "wrong" things. All we know is that something is not right with proof pointing those faults in the current government situation.So what is our best option if we want change? - Opposition party? Bersih? NGOs that calls for change in the current governmental system? They may not be the correct choices, but they are our next best option towards what we currently have....
Back to Bersih. It is the next best choice we have towards the glimpse of seeing a fair election campaign in the next general election! But if the government is so insistent that the election is fair, why not proof it to all instead of retaliating against this movement? At times, things get out of hand because of the refusal to explain and the continuous suppression of the call for equal and fair rights.
That's just my thoughts. I'm not saying I'm totally supporting Bersih. But all I want is just being able to see transparency in the current government system.
