Why PKR Is More Appealing To The Younger Generation?
Jun 17, 2009 Politics, Uncategorized 1 Comment
For many months I have been looking for the answer. So many thoughts came into my minds but none will be as close as this. I guess I have to thank Astro Awani for bringing up so many PKR reps into their show as it helped me to understand their thinking better. Watching them (PKRs) in You Tube has not helped much as they were not pushed by other speakers from the ruling party to reveal their true self, their belief and their agendas. So, two thumbs up for Astro Awani.
Tonight another PKR’s rep was called into the show and asked about her thoughts on the recent fiasco at the Parliament. Fauziah Salleh like many other PKR followers talked about ‘Ruang’ (Rooms or Spaces) and ‘Openess’ when dealing with the issue. It seems the word ‘ruang’ or ‘berikan ruang’ has been the main argument used by PKR when dealing with many issues. Perhaps they should change the party name into Party Ruang Rakyat instead of Parti Keadilan Rakyat. It suits them well.
When asked about the behaviour of YB Nizar and his geng, Fauziah responded by trying to JUSTIFY their action. Instead of discussing whether such behavior is RIGHT or WRONG, GOOD or BAD for the people, she diverted it to the of question whether such action is warranted in such circumstances. The ‘Ruang’ and ‘Openess’ issue are thrown here by her in defending YB Nizar & The Gang. She started to act as the legal counsel for them and gave examples on feedbacks that she received from HER sources.
If I am a young person (student or just graduated from IPT), I will definitely find such argument appealing. WHY? It makes me FREE TO DO AS I WISH as long as I can give an excuse. What PKR is doing is like teaching young people that one can break the law as long as one can find an excuse for it. You can be a Mat Rempit as long as you can give a reason why.
If the situation in Perak is an excuse for YB Nizar & The Gang to behave as they did, then Mat Rempit can say that there’s nothing wrong for them to be Mat Rempit as long as they can show the excuse – for example, broken family. The thief can justify his action of stealing because he’s desperate for money and sodomy can be permitted because there are gay people in this country. What a crap!
Instead of teaching good values and adherences to laws of the country, PKR tries to give so many ‘Ruang’ for the people to do the opposite. Ironically, when the PKR’s rep in Perak crossed over to BN not long ago, they branded them with names (bad names of course!). They talked about the law and morality issues, etc. Hey!, how about some ‘Ruang’ here. They have justified their decision to leave PKR. What’s the fuss!
Not long ago I wrote about how many people chose to change their faith for the sake of convenience and not because of their belief [Read Here] . Well, it is much the same here. The young one will prefer PKR as they are more attracted to PKR concept of ‘Do as you wish and get away with it’. It’s all about self interest rather than national interest. The openess, ruang, freedom, liberalisation blah blah blah really goes well with the kids. They don’t really care what it can really mean for them in the future, it’s effect on their future. Then again, how can we blame them? There are just kids.

Yang pasti, masih terpahat diingatan saya bila YB Lim dengan ANGKUHNYA mendabik dada mengatakan bahawa kerajaan BN di Pulau Pinang jatuh disebabkan oleh RASUAH! dan bahawa kerajaan PR dibawah pimpinannya akan bebas dari gejala RASUAH ini. Tersenyum saya melihat gelagatnya itu dan respond dari penyokongnya-penyokongnya ketika itu. “Kita tunggu dan lihatlah nanti” getus hati saya.
