[1565] Of send Nik Nazmi into public office

Malaysian politics is immature and most politicians of older generation do not have the maturity to develop Malaysian politics. Our political scenario is one of bankruptcy. It is stuck in the 1960s and 1970s. Our policies are outdated and if we continue on this path, the whole world will leave us behind. South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore have left us behind when once, Malaysia was in the same league with these countries. Unless we change, we will find others like Vietnam up ahead while we will be left languishing behind, competing with Ghana and the likes. Even the Arabs are catching up when once, Malaysia was instantly recognized as the most modern of countries with a Muslim majority along with Turkey. The horrifying thing is, these seasoned politicians, especially from BN, are proud that we are competing with backwater African countries instead of modern East Asian and European states!

First world infrastructure, third world mentality, they say. Indeed.

Ironically, it will take younger generation politicians with fresh ideas to give our politics the maturity our country urgently needs. It will take new politicians to develop first world mentality by implementing good policies to cope with the changing world.

This is why this blog endorses the candidacy of Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad.

Enough of politicians whom are stuck in the past, with their outdated mode of thinking, with their inflexibility. Enough of politicians that still resound the specter of May 13 to gain support. We are the future and we deserve better. We need new policies to meet new challenges and achieve greater height.

We want ideas, not threats, not freebies, not feel good news but ideas.
