Conflict of Political Theory

"You may fool all the people some of the time, you can even fool some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all the time" (Abraham Lincoln)

If I talk about politic I know some people would never view my point of view or opinion as serious. But I do respect everyone's opinion as well as argument no matter what side they are. Both sides whether the government and the oppositions have their flaws, and no party on earth or even in any countries are perfect. Because there is no way that you can please everybody. For some people, they say the "Bersih" campaign or rally is something that is wasteful and can never be taken seriously, for me, just let them march, because that is the way they believe would make people realize how serious the issue plaguing the election is, as long as they are willing to accept the consequences of their action, they do not need to be "booed" or deemed as self absorbed pricks or any other name calling. For those who are making statements on television, in newspaper, putting up banner of going against the rally in the name of nationalism, neither should they be "booed" or be deemed as such, because they are also doing what they believe is right. But there is a fine line between being passionate on what you believe or just being overly emotional. However I do pray that it is going to be a peaceful rally, in which it will not paint any negative pictures of how Malaysians really are. Muslims have been deemed as terrorists due to 9/11, it will be a shame if due to that Malaysians are deemed as uncivilized.

Mudslinging between some politician from the opposition side as well as the government side is almost similar to the playground politics that we used to be involve when we young, "my mother / my father" is better that "your mother / your father", "if you can do this, I can do it better", "I have this and you don't" and when something happen during the game, someone got pushed, or feeling got hurts, no one will take responsibilities thus begin a new game of finger pointing. 

Both sides can do anything and say anything they like but they should never underestimate the power of the people, when the day come, people will come a decision who they believe to have their best interest at heart and vote. Instead of making empty promises or bad mouthing the opponents, educate the people of their right. Looking at the positive aspect, having oppositions is a great way to keep the government on its toe, because people know that they have other options. 

Do remember oppositions and government can never run away from making mistakes, or being tempted in doing within the concept of 7 deadliest sins, they are just mere human , they are not saints. 

This is just my opinion. Let's discuss never argue. 

(But if there is a rally for one single school system, I would do my best to support that)
