101st and Last Post?
After much thought I decided to make this my last post. This blog was started as a reflection on theology, investing and tea, hence tit. Nothing pornographic. A friend tried to find my blog by googling and ended up with links to all the porn sites!
After the events of of 10/11 and 25/11 (Bersih & Hindraf rally), I decided to change the direction of my blog. It became more political. It was the most active during the run up to the last General Election. I endorsed 2 candidates, Tony Pua for PJ Utara & Edward Lee for Bukit Gasing. Maybe because of that my blog was listed on one of the websites on the election as a socio-political blog.
Well after the euphoria of 8 March, I slowed down to about only 5/6 postings a month until the coup d'etat in Perak. The situation in Perak remains unresolved. Najib has completed 100 days in office with much fanfare (a great PR exercise - nothing but a PR exercise).
On the eve of the by-election in Kelantan, Pakatan is again fighting among themselves in Selangor after Penang and Kedah. Some may think it's good to fight openly in the name of transparency and openness. But from the way how some people attacked some people, I'll be surprised there will not be any bitterness even after they kissed and made up. How many times can people kissed and made up without doing irreparable damage to the relationship. There should be mutual respect. Frankly, if this go on, there will not be any Pakatan Rakyat comes the next GE.
I'm a lot less angry now compared to those days at the end of 2007. Maybe that's why the motivation to write is no longer there. That doesn't mean I will become apathetic about politics. I will find other avenues to be involved and engaged politically. I guess many have become disillusioned since 8 March. Most of the politicians we voted in didn't meet our expectations. But to revert to the pre 8 March 2008 political landscape is to condemn our future generations to the bondage of racism, religious extremism, corruption and to living in a failed nation.
Well, I would like to thank all who bother to take time to read what I wrote and especially the faithful few. I also know of at least 3 persons who put this blog on their blogroll.(There may be more). Thank you. Well, this blog may be resurrected if the Perak State Assembly is dissolved or at the next GE. That's the reason for the question mark at the end of title to this post.
Shalom
