Throw Gerakans Constitution into Rubbish Bin

Throw Gerakan's Constitution into Rubbish Bin

Today, is the last day for Gerakan’s Vice President to appeal to the Central Committee, against the suspension order made on him by Central Working Committee.

A member asked, “If he is appealing to the Central Committee, do you think should the Central Committee revise the decision made by the Central Working Committee?”

Well, if the Central Committee is going to lift or shorten the suspension imposed, then they are making a very dangerous precedent to the other ordinary members.

That will mean, the minority members are encouraged or allowed to ‘hang up banners to protest’, when their suggestions are overruled by the leaders elected by majority.

That also mean the minority members are permissible to ‘threaten the party by pulling out en masse from the party’, whenever they disagree with any decision made by the leadership.

Ultimately, the Party’s Constitution has become redundant when the noise from minority outweighed the silent majority.

If this is the case, I am ready to throw the Party’s Constitution into the rubbish bin.

Taming Leviathan

Taming Leviathan

I am disappointed with the on-going political developments in Malaysia, as I realize that our politicians are more concerned about their personal political agendas and their political party’s interests, rather for the benefit of the people.

To me, there are only a few bona fide politicians in Malaysia.

Our present politicians may be far-sighted, by keep on eyeing and planning for what is going to happen in the next general election. But majority of them has neglected their duties for this present moment.

As an active citizen, I believe all of us are capable in bringing some positive changes to our nation.

Well, let me recommend another book from Institute of Economic Affairs, titled as “Taming Leviathan’, which discussed how the civil think tanks had improved the world.

Waging the War of Ideas

Waging the War of Ideas

Recently, I have spent my time in reading this electronic book, “Waging the War of Ideas“, instead of updating my blog.

Well, I have downloaded this electronic book for free. This book was published by Institute of Economic Affairs, a London-based think tank.

From this book, I discovered the participation in politics or policy making process is not limited to the involvement in a political party. And, I realised there are other ways too.

Forming and organising a civil think tank, is one of the alternative ways.

Want to know more? Just go and read the book, by clicking on the image and you may download the eletronic book.
