Politics knows no limits. And if ‘poison’ can be used to shut out an opponent, politicians and their supporters from both the political divide, will not hesitate to use it. This is exactly the scene at the on-going by-elections in Kedah and Perak.
In a desperate attempt to win votes, supporters of a political party have began circulating in a booklet, the Elizabeth Wong’s story in an effort to demonize the political party of which she belongs. What has Elizabeth Wong’s story got to do with the by-elections? Are the people involved in the publication of the story got nothing better to do, than to undertake this despicable act of ‘fitnah’.
If those involved are Malays of the Muslim faith, they ought to know that ‘fitnah’ in Islam is serious, and I would like to challenge these people to come forward to show their filthy and ugly faces. Otherwise I would say that they are nothing by cowards, hiding behind some politicians, who are themselves stinking cowards.
Acts like this has to stop, because it is setting a bad example to others, and reflects the disgusting level of political maturity, and the ugly side of Malaysian politics. I appeal to the authorities to investigate the ‘perpetrators’ of this act, and to come down hard on them, regardless of their political affiliation.
Malaysians have had enough of money politics, and now this despicable and ungentlemanly act of humiliating others for one’s own political gains. Will this be the future on Malaysian politics, and are we to tolerate this?

POLITICS AND POLITICKING
Does the title of this article sounds familiar. Well of course, who else can I be referring to if not our honourable politicians, who over the last few months has nothing better to do, except politicking. Just read our dailies and watch the news on TV, and what do we read and hear..............this politician suing another politician. That politician asking another politician to resign. Another minister claiming another politician 'menderhaka' and pledge to defend (whatever it is), to the last drop of his blood. Supporters of one political party protesting against another political party for God knows what.
Even politicking has not escape some of our civil servants today. They are now acting and talking like politicians themselves, and uttering statements that smack of favouritism for a particular political party. They are suppose to be apolitical, but they have somehow been infected by this 'politicking disease' from the politicians themselves.
What utter rubbish these elected people's representatives are............and yet they who are suppose to work for the people (not the people working for them) seems oblivious to the social and economic woes affecting the country today. And you know, I have not seem my wakil rakyat since having voted for him.
Thousands are now jobless, and many more are awaiting retrenchment. Crime is on the rise, and the worse is yet to come when mothers will find nothing left on their dinning table to feed their growing families. If they are to march to the streets one fine day, please don't blame them, and order the police to shoot them with water cannons.
I see so much of disgruntlement among the ordinary people that I meet daily, that somehow goes unnoticed by our leaders. Luxuries have blinded them. And I hear no real discourse among our leaders as to how issues affecting the people today are being resolved. I suppose if there was any real discourse, it must have been done within the walls of Putrajaya, and anything that comes out of it are being kept tightly within the aforesaid walls. Why have there been no open debates among leaders with the public for example. I suppose, even if debates are held, it is only held within the confines of parliament where only a fraction of the debate is being reported.
I can also understand why our leaders takes no notice of the woes affecting the people today. It is because they are being insulated by their cronies, and they only see and hear the good things. They hardly visit the kampung folks that lies deep in the interior, or even visit the squatters in the city center. They prefer to live the comfort of their luxurious homes, and to go out shopping at the expensive shopping malls. Money is no real problem to them, as some people would say, 'it flows like water'.
Please Mr. Politicians, get out of your shell and start your rounds meeting the ordinary people in the streets and villages. You will be better informed of what actually lies in the hearts of the people, and please don't have your cronies stick like leeches around you. When you hear the azan from a nearby mosque or surau while doing your rounds, proceed straight for your prayers with the rest of the congregation.
Please Mr. Politicians, stop this suing one another. Stop accusing one of being a 'penderhaka'. Stop accusing one of corruption when you fully well know that you are corrupt yourself. Stop asking others to resign when you fully well know that you are no better (or may be even worse) than the person that you have asked to resign. STOP POLITICKING and get down to your core business i.e. to serve the people. That's what your job is and the reason why you have been elected.

DI MANA LETAKNYA KEDUDUKAN ORANG POLITIK MELAYU
Bermacam macam kerenah berlaku dikalangan orang politik melayu dewasa ini, yang sukar hendak saya fahami. Apakah yang menyebabkan mereka tergila gila untuk merebut kuasa, seperti yang berlaku di Perak tempuh hari. Dan bagi orang UNNO pula, lihatlah apa yang telah terjadi bagi mereka yang hendak merebut jawatan dalam parti. Sanggup bermain duit berjuta-juta. Dan bagi mereka yang kaya pula, sudah tentu dengan adanya jawatan, akan adalah sumber pendapatan mereka yang lebih lumayan; tidak kiralah samada sumber itu diperolehi secara halal atau haram.
Perkataan haram itu seolah olah tidak ada lagi dalam ‘vocabulary’ mereka. Yang penting nya duit; lagi banyak lagi bagus, dan tidak keterlauan bagi saya menyatakan disini bahawa sebahagian dari mereka ini sanggup sembah duit dari menyembah Allah SWT. Itulah buruknya perangai sesetengah orang politik melayu dewasa ini. Dimanalah hendak saya letakkan muka saya sebagai saorang melayu yang beragama Islam dihadapan kawan kawan saya yang berbangsa lain.
Tidak terlintas dipemikiran saya bahawa orang politik melayu sekarang sebegitu rakus, tamak dan gila kuasa. Di zaman silam, sesiapa saja yang hendak berkuasa mestilah gagah dan kuat; pandai bermain keris, bersilat dan tidak gentar menghadapi lawannya. Sekarang berlainan pula, ada duit ada kuasa, kalau tak pandai bermain keris pun tak mengapa. Duit adalah segala galanya. Lihatlah bagaimana pangkat dan kuasa telah mengakibatkan dua orang Adun melayu di Perak terjerumus dalam kemaksiatan dan rasuah. Inikah contoh yang terbaik yang dapat ditunjukkan oleh mereka kepada anak cucu kita? Dan saya percaya ramai lagi orang politik melayu yang masih belum sedar diri.
Negara kita akan ditimpa kecelakaan sekiranya orang politik melayu masih terus tergila gila merebut kuasa. Tidakkah mereka tahu bahawa menjadi seorang pemimpin melalui kuasa politik itu ada tanggungjawab tertentu kepada masyarakat. Kalau nak menjadi pemimpin untuk memberi ‘order’ sahaja bukanlah itu seorang pemimpin. Ambillah contoh pemimpin-pemimpin Islam yang tercatat pada kitab-kitab kita. Mereka diiktiraf sebagai pemimpin bukan kerana duit. Mereka menonjolkan sifat-sifat kepimpinan melalui contoh yang terbaik, mulia dan penuh dengan keinsafan diri, selain dari berani dan gagah dalam peperangan. Sanggupkah orang politik melayu kita sekarang sanggup berperang. Jawapannya sudah tentu tidak kerana mereka akan berkata itu bukan tugas kami. Itu tugas tentera.
Inilah perbezaannya pemimpin melayu yang diperolehi melalui kuasa politik sekarang dengan pemimpin Islam seperti yang tercatat dalam sejarah Islam lampau. Lantas, saya memohon orang politik melayu sedarlah diri dan bukalah hati untuk merapati silatulrahim dengan bangsa mu sendiri, walaupun terdapat perbezaan fahaman politik. Jangan lah anggap terlalu hina bangsa mu sendiri disebabkan perbezaan fahaman politik, kerana ini akan membawa kepada kehancuran bangasa dan negara mu sendiri.
