SERVICE FIRST

I always believe that a politician must be willing to serve the people and country. As long as he/she understands written and verbal languages, this should be the requirement to settle into a life of a politician. Now the chief minister of Perak Tajol Rosli said in future in the Perak Exco, the elected representative must have a first degree. I wonder why is that so? Is university degree can help the people and country? Playing in politics isnt about university degree; it is about how one thinks on his/her feet and a willingness to help and serve the people and country without favours or looking to enrich one's position. Look at our current leaders....they are amply qualified yet see what kind of statements they made in their lives. They can't think positively on their feet. They dont go to the ground to help the people. They are there because of the voters yet they dont go to help these people. I rather have politicians who can go down to help the people without any air of protocol. These educated politicians have too much airs with them. They think they are the cream of the lot in the country. By the way the Federal Constitution never says a prime minister must have a university degree. A prime minister must have the confidence of the house and the supreme ruler will pick his choice for the country's prime minister though the pm designate may have the support of the house; the king can stop his appointment as the country's prime minister. Food for thought isnt it?
