THE WAY I LOOK AT IT

The way I look at it....................the government should designate a public place for the people to vent their views and frustrations. Designate a day where people of all walks of life can come and listen to the views and frustrations of the govenment actions. Democracy must work without imposing conditions for something that the people want to say and do. No doubt laws are set to control certain unhealthy elements cracking the civilized society, it must not be draconian laws impeding the freedom of people's choices of association. Fear shouldnt be in a democratic country; and it shouldnt be to sustain one grips of power by imposing police rule. The leaders are there because of the people. Nothing else. The King should know what is happening in the country. He should be in the forefront of his subjects. He can't be staying put in the palace.......the rakyat will honor him more if he should come out to meet the people and address them. Right now there is no legitimate area for the people to voice their frustrations. Sending memorandum just won't work. Will it be read by these people? Like Mr Clean setting up so many committees and sub-committees doing what? To me it is like managing a company with many department managers and supervisors. There are rules and regulations. Meetings.......and memos. Every month meeting with all employees to hear support and grievances as well as criticisms. The top management must open minds to listen and dialogue with the employees. In managing a country there must be a place to meet the rakyat to listen and dialogue with the people. There are so many chief ministers.................organize it properly and I believe people's reps and delegates to the dialogue will represent a cross section of the society. Once a year organize a meeting and dialogue session in Parliament House attended by the PM and his advisors. In this way many fruitful discussions can be achieved. It is meeting the ordinary people's reps not the MPs who are beholden to the party and its leaders.

Laws restricting the people's rights must be changed. A government shouldnt be afraid to bite the bullet for change. The government is put there by the people. The leaders entrusted with the jobs must serve the people and country not to grip power for their own personal benefits, families, friends and cronies. The current leadership has grown up fat and bloated I am afraid to think this way. The illnesses have flown into the system. If there is no remedy to arrest its flow, I see there will be people's power to stop the rot infringing into the country.
