This afternoon I suddenly felt like coming to visit my blog set up more than 10 years ago, I used to post articles quite regularly but have stopped since sometime in 2015. I returned to look at it in 2016 and since then have not returned till today May 03 2019. In fact I have forgotten my password and had tried different combination before I finally managed to crack it.
Many things have happened over the three year-period. In fact many things have changed in the world since then. America has a new strange self-absorbed president, the longest reigning monarch in the world had died, Prince Harry of UK had married and most importantly Malaysia had managed to change the more than 60-year-old government that has become terribly corrupt in the last five to eight years. Currently the ex-Prime Minister is in court facing corruption charges. Under his watch from 2010 to 2018, he was dubbed as the biggest kleptocrat in the world. In fact the ex US attorney,Jeff Sessions in 2016 had accused Malaysia as practicing kleptocracy at its worst. Malaysians were ashamed when they travelled overseas but now they can hold their head high when they were able to topple the sick government at the General Election on 9 May 2018.
I remember feeling a sense of relief when the new government headed by a 92-year-old ex-Prime Minister assumed power and is set to put the country on the right footing by first fighting corruption which has become widespread in the country. If there is one thing that I am allergic about is corruption. Virtually every government ministries and departments is involved in corruption. Since the change of government, almost everyday the news of corruption are reported in the various media.. Today we know why the scourge has been rampant. For a start the leader of the past government is highly corrupt, using public money to fund his lifestyle and that of his family, friends and cronies. His behaviour is despicable to say the least. May he be severely punished for his greed and abuse of power. May we never see the likes of him ever again.
