Taxi. Taxi.

I had to attend a meeting at Selborn with the Policy department. I deliberately took a taxi there as Selborn was well known for lacking for parking space. Even those who work there had not given space to park their car. As I was in the cab with the driver I asked him about the fleet card that the government had promised to the taxi drivers. Given them the privilege of petrol subsidies to eases their burden on the new price hike. His answer didn't surprise me at all. He said that there was so much requirement that is needed, that it isn’t worth pursuing for. The announcement was not sincere in easing the burden of the rakyat. It’s just another of PL failed attempt at doing things right. When the people starts to complaint, he’ll blame the government servants for sure. Not supportive of his plans to ease the Rakyat’s burden.

Again, Pak Lah tries to calm the Rakyat with false hope that will in the end only traps himself. Sometimes I even wonder why he even try? He is not passionate in leading this nation. That’s the problem. Who said it was easy to become a PM? This again shows how weak a leader is Pak Lah. Oh! UMNO members please can't you see what that old man is doing to our country and the party?

I admit it that during Tun's time he was harsh; well the better word is strict. But the people prospered under his strong grip. That what made Tun's popularity all time high. Even in 1997 incident with the DSAI crisis, he still has strong supporters. He won the election with a slight decline in majority but he still riding high. The Bumis and non Bumis strongly supported him. PL? He lost two third of the parliamentary seats. Mr. Clean, konon! Mr. Sleepy more to it.

What is strange with Pak Lah case is that the people rejected him but the top rank seems to backed him all the way! This is weird. Why? This is a question that really baffled me. They know how the grass root felt but as if they choose to ignore the plead of the people as what happened in 1969.
