NO BITE

MPs and state assemblymen/women are elected by the people yet in Parliament or in State assemblies these elected representatives can't put forward views affecting the people though it may go against the government. If that is so, the party whip will come in hard on these reps. Are the reps stood for the party or the people? The voters elected the candidates to represent them in that constituency (MP and state assemblyman/woman) but in the end the people are short changed because the elected reps only beholden to the party. The country takes a leaf from UK yet UK MPs can go against the government and the leaders. The UK MPs too can ask the PM to resign without fear of reprimanded by the party whip. This is democracy in working not democracy in theory. Will it happen in Malaysia? Unless the voters change the BN government. If the voters dont do it, there will a long list of ills inflicted on the people. By next year toll increases again. SaMee cited low traffic volume for the increase. This is the contract signed by the government which has no benefit to the people but the crony and companies linked to these leaders. Dr M has to answer. It was during his administration then. Now the people suffer on higher tolls. The government should bite the bullet and buy up the companies once and for all. Get into the controlling interests in shares then stop all those toll increases once for all. Work out how much to pay to the banks for the outstanding loans then divide it for number of years and work out how much to charge on toll with % on road maintenance and remuneration costs added into it. Then you have it. The amount of toll for the rest of the loan tenure..........Yet our MPs and state assemblymen/women have nothing else to say. Like lambs gathered in the pent by the shepherds feeding them well in contented. Do we want this to happen to our reps in Parliament?
