The politicians did. The religious bigots did. The overzealous NGOs did. The greedy businessmen who bribed their way into the corrupt world of decision-makers ie politicians and government servants.
Obviously, the rest of us suffer from their doings, their instigations, their policies and their insistence. Laws are passed in the Parliament and sometimes, it stopped short there -- never get to be implemented by the Government at the end of it. The people are restless and sleepless over the hike of food essentials and electricity, just to name a few.
The politicians probably are the worst type of wreckers. They wrecked the sanctity of racial harmony and added fuel to the already tense religious misunderstandings. We have seen these politicians circumvent and making fool of the system, when they interpreted and ballooned the differences between races in this country into a myriad of issues that make us, the rakyat, suspicious of each other. They brought religious adherents into two extreme ends - we become polarised that we are forced to take sides. They instigated on frivolous sensitive issues under the name of democracy and under the roof of the Parliament.
The religious bigots are killing us at every turn. There are bigots at each side of the religious adherents. The issue of Allah have been twisted and bandied around that we have become people who hate other people who profess other religions. They turn normal people who used to lead rustic simple life into bigots like themselves. We have become socially demented and confused and thus, losing control of our logic and letting the restless emotions into the run.
Then there are the NGOs who took the streets into their hands, demonstrating on so-called social injustices and there are also NGOs who hogged on race supremacies that have made us the worst kind of racists. How in the world did the ROS ever approve their existence in the first place? Some NGOS are just hell bent to usurp power and influence of the existing political parties to achieve their agenda - which in turn split us into many halves. It is really painful to see street fights over issue of races and religious differences.
The businessmen and the corporate world in this country are not helping either. Crooked businessmen with ulterior motives of getting richer funnelled their wealth into helping politicians to win contracts in both Federal and State Governments. They bribed their way into getting favours from influential politicians who much needed the dough to stave off opposition in their own parties. It is just not happening in the Government of the day, it is also happening in Opposition controlled States. Politicians tricked their way into rewarding corrupt Government officers to achieve what they have in mind.
It is just pitiful to see this is still happening in this country. We need a fresh, new wind of change to blow into our country. These wreckers should be put in jail, once and for all. We are tired. We have been tricked by political parties who over promise, we have been duped by the Government and thus, social injustice meted out to the people like us are allowed to continue.
The way forward is to change and to keep changing. The power of the people is vital and it is imperative for us to understand and utilise for our own good. We will be annihilated by unjust political system; and our happiness will be perished in the flames of greed, corrupt and politics, if we do not attempt to take initiatives to stop these.
We did not start the fire -- someone else did.
