The ' I ' Factor

The 'I' is now the determining factor in Malaysian politic.Because the people realised that the sort of government they would like to have is up to them. The strategy of all political parties must therefore change to accommodate this new aspect of peoples' thinking. They should maximize their relevance so as to incorporate the aspiration/physical development of their particular constituencies.

It is no longer politician who will set up the programme of implementing projects to bring growth in their respective parliamentary or state seats. It is the people. Gone are the days when politicians called the shots. The 'I'power, when they combine to become the 'We' force, will be able to overcome whatever obstacles standing in the way.And thus can form government that are more sensitive to their needs.

These are not complicated demands. Just simple ones. Like getting places for non-Bumiputra children into local colleges and universities. Even when their results are very good,most of them are not given such opportunities. These are the issues they would like to be resolved. And at the same time,they will make comparison with neighbouring Singapore where no such practices existed.

Question will be raised. As to why Singapore goes to the extent of headhunting for smart students from foreign countries. Offering them scholarships. And when they have completed their studies, were offered good jobs, housing facilitiea including citizenship. Why are non-Bumiputra Malaysian students given a bad deal in their own country?Considering that they are also citizens of this country. And the billion dollar issue, why is there no action taken to remedy this glaring inequality?

Creating the loss of thousands of intellectual asset through brain drain. Malaysia could have reached developed nation status years back had they not made this blunder. Will this repressive situation be allowed to continue? Or will the demands of the 'I' factor be heeded to show that Malaysians are given equal treatment whatever their race or religion.
