when it comes to money and empty promises…
I will build a school in this town. I will increase the budget for the development of this place. I will allow my dear Malaysians to apply for loans to further their education. I will do the best i can, believe me. And i will do these, IF ONLY, if only you CHOOSE me!!!
These sweet words. These conditional promises. These insincerities. These promises which will soon turn out to be only words that carry no weigh. These lies that we have heard over and over again.
Yet, we still fall for these meaningless promises. We are still so optimisitc and naive to have thought that they meant what they say this time. We want money and everything good. There’s nothing wrong with it, but definitely there’s something wrong with the way we get it. We are like beggars. We thirst for these material, which will never come true, and we do whatever that they want us to do. We are people with no dignity.
A true leader is one that serve his people instead of one that exchange support using these tricks. He is also one that will gain our support through his generosity towards all citizens. He must be forgiving. And he must not be one that uses money as an exchange for support, or he will be tagged as bribing.
Oh, we shall see how we suffr soon. And we shall see how we foolish we are to start expecting the plans and policies that had been promised by them. We will wait and wait and wait. And we will not see any progression. And by that time, we will start to get angry and start scolding. Yes, if we do them we are not punishing them. We are punishing how stupid we are. And even if we are disappointed with them at this time, we will still be fooled by their sweet words next time, and so we will once again fall for their trap. And that’s why we never improved. We never move forward. We are to be blamed, not them, as we are those that support them in the first place.
