Rushing it is worthy?

I don't know if any of what New Strait Times reported is real. But I've been reading The Star for the past few days and I'm partly convinced that the sudden rift between the new Pakatan Rakyat and the Indian community is real. There is a sudden urgency in their tone when they demand for their roles to be uplifted and appreciated.

Personally, I don't know about the Kapar MP until I've read the newspaper about his resignation because he was fed up with PKR. The Ipoh Barat MP on the other hand, had decent media exposure for me to know that he was a good man, a little bit like Michael Chong for Perak. And I'm very certain that he was because it's by the mainstream media. It's very rare to see the mainstream ones praise an Opposition MP.

I understand if they felt the same kind of marginalisation, and had broken promises by the very same people who gave it last year, when they were devastated and felt that their hopes were lost but could be restored if they helped what used to be called the Opposition into power. Which they did. A much more balanced legislation emerged. The Barisan Nasional MPs had to struggle to be present so that certain Bills can be pushed to be let through. Interesting no?

But yet, I cannot understand. Why are they all quitting posts like they totally want to give up every hope for a change? Dudes, you guys are barely even a year into the administration, you think being a politician is easy?

To be a 'proper' politician, and I'm not using the current Barisan Nasional as examples for proper because there's nothing proper about them. To be a proper politician, you have to be judge, lawyer, accountant, banker, loan shark if you have to, teacher, mother (yeah, some constituents can behave like small kids), PR agents. It's not easy, that is why I don't see the reason why the newspapers have to report on how "so and so MP had to use their own money to help the constituents". Are you trying to say that because you can afford to pay the first RM30, 000 to fight for citizens you think that's going to last you for the next 4/5 years?

Why do you rush to give up? Why do you rush to give up on hopes? If they don't give the politicians a bigger position to let you voice it out, work on the grassroots. We've histories of solid MPs in past decades, working their ass off without proper media exposure to show the world how pitiful they are.

I really do wonder what were the real intentions of these politicians. Probably yes, there are favouritisms showing. But heck, favouritism is everywhere. It's like business, except you do not have second options. Okay, you do, as an Independent. But that might mean forking out more money.

Maybe consider the option of not caring for what's going on at the top, but care more of what can you do. If you've done all you can from being an MP, then, well, listen and voice it when you know you have the chance.

But definitely, don't give up. Barisan Nasional can't even build a proper country in 50 years, what more with only 10 months of experience?

P.S: I ain't judge, jury nor executioner. Just an annoyed audience looking at the so-called frustration.
