A great speech

I find THIS speech truly great. Really.

Some quotes:

Although the EPU methodologies impacted the lives of every Malaysians in every walk of life, none knows what the methodologies are. Are they fair? Are they outdated? Are they flawed? Nobody knows as it is shrouded in secrecy by the Official Secrets Act. They are told to accept it without question as the EPU is the wise know-all and be-all!

No other country in the world has a policy or would want to associate with a policy which is unchanged for almost two decades which can still claim to be relevant to its citizenry today.

They see a flawed system totally ineffective in redressing the widening disparity between wealth and poverty in the country! They see the rich gets richer while the poor gets poorer!

They see a flawed system encouraging corruption and wastage! They see a flawed system where their hard earned monies go to help the politically connected and not put to good use like education, building roads, subsidizing the cost of petrol!

They see a flawed system devoid of check and balance – a system so porous that it sprung widespread leakages!

They see racial discrimination in everyday life – the award of scholarships, examinations, jobs in Government departments, promotions, Government contracts and myriads of others!

They see more squabbling and jealousy on of the awarding of lucrative contracts to the politically connected and their off-springs. And for them, more is never seem to be enough!

They see a flawed system doomed for globalization. They see a system where Malaysia will be left behind!

They see a flawed system which retards the economic growth of the country!

Do you see too?

Pass this on. And please vote wisely.
