Perak's Crisis Fiasco

With due respect the recent "minor" upheaval in Perak Malaysia is anything but "happening". What more can I expect from a state government that's barely a year old? It's like taking candy from a baby. Now if the states in East Coast were to be as such, then perhaps the show would be impressive and well deserved a pat on the back.

The occurrences of governments falling, in this case that of a state, should be of certain standards. For one, the instability must be caused by great grief for acts done that fail to protect the interest of the public. Secondly or in conjunction with the former acts that have harmed the public and/or their interest.

Members of Parliament are MERELY elected representatives of the people under the banner of their respective party or party-free candidacy. It is not a position to be traded for political and/or monetary advantage.

A simple approach would be to implement a guideline that will state that any Independent (Party-Free) MP so-elected is FREE to align them to the powers-that-are. MPs that won their seats based on support for their political party should vacate those seats if their ideologies differ from that of their party and to have the party appoint another candidate as suitable replacement. This is because the public votes for the candidate is based on his type of candidacy, and not a hundred percent on personal character. It's simple yet effective and would make Malaysia less laughing fodder in the eyes of the world. Although, who cares what the world thinks since its not anyone's business what goes on with others...but then again politics will always remain politics.
