Critics Are Not To Be Feared - They Are To Be Listened

Critics should not be viewed as negative. They should be looked at as people who are responsible, who love and want the best for their country and its citizens.

Loving and wanting the country to progress and be free from corruption, racialism, segregation etc. are just being patriotic and loyal to their motherland, Malaysia.

The authority should appreciate that they are Malaysians like Mr. Khoo Kay Peng and others who are very concerned about what is happening in this country. Have given their frank opinions as to what should be done to improve the political setting, governance and other related matters.

These are constructive suggestions and are the result of feelings and unhappiness of Malaysians over government policies and practices.

Critics can also be described as barometers for development of events in the country whether good or bad. It would be sound advice therefore, to take note of their readings.

Lastly, the most effective method to lessen criticisms is for the government to right the wrongs which have already occurred and to prevent those yet to be implemented.

By doing this, the government will win the respect of Malaysians and prove that it is truly serious in wanting to make its governance of Malaysia a transparent and people oriented one.
