The 'Rewards' for Working Within the System

I really feel sorry for ex-YB Loh Seng Kok. We used to attend the same church for a while. He came across as someone who is humble and approachable. I read that his constituents are generally happy with his service. I also salute him for raising 'sensitive' issues in Parliament (in fact I emailed him to thank him for speaking up for our rights and he responded promptly to thank me for my support) which incurred the wrath of UMNO Youth and more or less contributed to the end of his political career rather prematurely. Of course there may be other factors at play as reported in theSun today.

So what are the rewards of a BN MP who is not only service oriented but dare to speak up in Parliament? You will not only be dropped but humiliated as well. Zaid Ibrahim is another example.

I was in a coffee shop in Kuchai Lama this evening. Along came the BN candidate for Seputeh Parliament seat and her gang of supporters. She is in her twenties and there were a no. of youths among her team as well. I'm sure some of them are sincere in serving the people. Some may join politics as a stepping stone to wealth and riches. For those who are sincere I feel sorry for them. In the end they will either be corrupted by the system or be unceremoniously dumped like Loh Seng Kok and Zaid Ibrahim

Sometimes when a system is beyond redemption we should Just Change It!

People of Kelana Jaya, you may question PKR's choice of fielding Loh Gwo-Burne. Please read the People's Parliament where there is more or less a consensus that whatever doubt you may have about this young fella, you should give him the benefit of doubt especially when he has taken a tremendous risk in returning to Malaysia to testify at the Royal Commission. Please ask Lee Hwa Beng whether he is ready to put his political career in jeopardy by speaking up without fear or favour.
