riding on the wave of a certain upcoming election that will be rather interesting to observe, i am glad to see the frustration of malaysians with the current ruling coalition. after so many years of mismanagement, our people have been surprisingly naive and ignorant on the subject of politics. most think it's irrelevant and some think they dont make a difference.
it is because of this ignorance that makes things so much more difficult to change. a country 50 years of age which is still in its infancy in politics, there is much to fix about the current election system, boiling down to the electorates and how ingeniously divided they are to the benefit of the ruling coalition. gerrymandering. it shakes the very core of democracy, one person one vote.
it is of no wonder that we are still stuck being a 3rd world country despite being one of the richest countries in SEA in regards to natural resources and also one of the most fortunate, geographically speaking.
with corruption, crime, inflation and protests on the rise - university rankings, open-mindedness, and the command of english on the slide, perhaps we should "just change it"
