New hope 新希望

Last week in Singapore, a few Singaporean friends asked me how was my country? They were perturbed by the change of political landscape in Malaysia. They looked across to Malaysia a rather chaotic situation prevailed.

I told them no worry. I am very happy with the situation at home. New state governments (or Opposition Government) brought new hope. I cited the example of Perak State Government issuing permanent land title to new villagers, 99 years lease-hold to landless fruit and vegetable farmers. No more worry of your ancestral home be acquired by the Government with miserable compensation or the land that you toiled be taken away to be given to rich rich politician.

For that, I am willing to give 5 years for them (to rule) plus another five years so that the former crooked and corrupted politicians who played with the welfare of the people, will not have a chance to come back.

In parliament, all MPs have to work hard. No more using the position for their own interest and lord over others. We have voice now, they are serving us, the people!

So far, I am satisfied with the political map of our country.

上个星期在新加坡期间，有几位新加坡朋友问起马来西亚的状况。他们对于这里的政治版图改写，有点疑惑。从新闻报道中，他们感觉上，我们这里好像很乱。

我告诉他们，不必担心。我很高兴看到今天的局面。新的州政府（虽然称为反对阵线），带给人们新希望。我举例给他们说明。就如霹雳州政府，发给新村居民永久地契，那些非法农耕地，会给农夫九十九年地契。不再害怕数代垦荒，住了数十年的新村祖屋，或辛勤耕耘的农地，随时被政府徵用火收回去。只这个措施，我就愿意给他们五年的统治权，再加上另五年，以便把以前玩弄手段，将人民福利把玩的混蛋腐败政客，没有机会翻身。

在国会，那些执政的国会议员，不再以尊贵的地位自肥，欺负弱小的无名者。我们有声音了，他们是为人民服务的！

环观现况，我对目前的政治版图感觉满意。
