malaysian politic and singapore's

those who are concerning about singapore politics maybe shd pay attention to malaysian politics. it's because culturally, malaysia is the closest to singapore. what happen in malaysia now will happen in singapore, if opposition is becoming popular. it's because so much is at stake for pap to lose.

isn't it what is happening in malaysia, may already happened in singapore? it's because our media is still very much like 80s taiwan(look at taiwan now, how many tv stations now?), ie one sph for 2-D media, one mediacorp for 3-D media and very much controlled by the omnipotent censorship board. (where was ex-Today reporter lee han shih, the guy who isn't afraid of questioning the govt and authority?). are we kept in the dark because of that?

the news of mahathir influencing the judiciary,the rendezvous of ex-health minister,other conspiracies are true reflection on the behaviour of politicians. barisan nasional(BN), which is like the equivalent of pap, ruled m'sia since independence, till now.

now BN status is at stake as m'sians are frustrated with BN. the capture of kedah, perak, penang never happened before. BN panicked, opposition emboldened. now character attacking begins btw anwar(the oppostion leader) and najip (the ruling party heir apparent). anwar being homosexual, najip link with mongolian model. now the P.I. who sang the tune of the latter, retract his statement. and the P.I now has disappeared, just like mas selamat.
this is no good for m'sia, in the short run, it is detrimental,if the mudslinging wars continue instead of concentrating governing, part of the energy are channeled into the unnecessary attack on the opponents. BN will accept the reality one day that they will not be part of the govt, despite ruling for too long.
this is true for us also, like parents to children. if the parents aren't mentally prepared, they will control all the more when their kids are at the rebelling age. unnecessay arguments, name calling will occur between parents and kids. someday, the parents have to accept the reality.

in the long run, it's beneficial to m'sian because one day m'sians will say enough is enough. both ruling and oppositions will become more mature in engaging. (just like parents finally let go of the kids to pursue their dream, not necessay to be doctor/engineers.)

having said that, human beings, including the politicians have to have an outlet to channel their energy, however irrational they may be. once there are 2 or more parties in a govt. personal attack will happen. think of fighting in taiwanese parliment, hillary attack on obama during the prelim campaign. it's just part of parcel of being a human being. it's just that there must be a balance of irrational behavior and maturity.

maybe we have to accept that fact that if the opposition here grow stronger. this will inevitably becomes like what happen in m'sia, or anywhere in the world.
it will be beneficial to singaporeans if the deitification of the ruling party, portrayed by our media (nowadays the average time of me reading newspaper is very fast, those singing the accomplishment of the govt, i will just skip), will vanish if there's a reliable opposition.
