Focus on Economy not Politic

A businessman Anas Zubedy has taken a full-page advertisement in Star paper yesterday asking Malaysian political parties to call a truce and focus on the shaky economy and jobs.

He paid more than RM36,000 for the advertisement in the newspaper.

“Whether (the governing) Barisan Nasional or (opposition) Pakatan Rakyat (PR) leads is meaningless . . . if Malaysians have no job to go to, no money to pay rent and no means to put food on the table,” he wrote.

“Pakatan Rakyat, please stop your attempts to take over the federal government and just let go. The nation can wait until the next general election if they want change.”

“Barisan Nasional, please stop any attempts to take over PR states and win over PR lawmakers. You have proved your point with Perak. The nation can wait for the next general election if they want your party.”

“Someone has to give in. Take the nation to heart. That's why you are in politics in the first place. Focus on the people. Focus on the economy.”

Many of us agreed to what Anas said. There are just too much politic after the March 08 election. What is BN going to prove by taking over Perak? It just created more problems for the people in the state.

Since each party has their own states, they should try to do their best to make the people in the states proud of them and will continue to elect them in the next election.

The worse thing in this country right now is that the politicians are busy fighting inside and outside the party. The police and MACC are very busy taking down reports made by politicians against each other. Can you imagine more than 20 reports just for a same incidence? How are they going to investigate all the case? Is that why they start out with the easy job first but investigate the car and cows case.

Our leaders should concentrate more toward the economy of the country as we are heading into a recession. When the economy is good and the people in the country are wealthy, they will naturally support the ruling party.

I remember many years ago when Tiger Woods wasn’t world number one yet and someone asked him if he is aiming to be number one in the world. Tiger just said that he never think about it. He just plays well every time and things (ranking) will take care of itself. Politicians don’t have to make headline, create scene and bad mouth others, they just need to work hard and serve the people well and sure to be elected in every election.
