What is this politics all about?...I even dream about it nowadays!

Since young,i mean very very young, I have been hearing my family, friends & any other people talking politics everywhere right from home to coffee shops to functions. They discussed so much that left me confused with what is this politics all about. But those 'talks' has definitely made me realize that politics is everywhere. I define politics as 'leading a management'. Thus, politics (management) is everywhere, be it in a family, neighborhood, community, school, country, ext ext. But when politics are mentioned, our focus is on the country, the leaders & politicians. And I must say that it is an art which is to be performed by several & spectated by many. No art is easy to perform and no art is difficult to see.  Being a Malaysian Indian (MI), the community's concern within was always on the 'Malaysian Indian' politics which I have never seen a change since then. Oops, i shoudn't say that anymore, because I have only seen MIC haven't changed, but many Indians have indulged themselves in 'out-of-MIC' politics & proved themselves to be leaders as well. But I must say that the 'out-of-MIC' politics are been seen and talked about only very recently (by majority). Obviously, after Nov 25th 2007 HINDRAF rally in KL. But we should remind ourselves that HINDRAF was & is not a political movement. But through the demands and requests put front by them, the message is clear that support of MI should be not for the ruling government ally. Thus, the view has increased upon opposition parties. 

No one, including me, could tell exactly that what HINDRAF has done is properly correct or otherwise. But I prefer to look at the efforts, intentions & messages which are definitely meant for the betterment of the community & the country itself. I'm happy that those messages are very much pro-Malaysia and not being unfair to any other race & religion.

When at all anyone mentioned to me that politics are dirty, I always replied saying, "If it is so, then who would clean it if not for you & me?". I still keep to that stand. Now that the revolution (of a particular community & whole nation) has taken space, let us water the seeds by any small amount that we could, at any level.

Describing things as such, I am not anti government either. I have always been comfort

able with this government as I got whatever I needed (sadly, not all of my friends from the neighborhood & estates though) since young. But I am sadden with the democracy system which malfunction in our country. The constitution which is not respected at proper height and no modifications in several matters that are needed for the best of the whole nation. I am unhappy with these things. Many are. I honestly, would love to see this government ruling with qualities I mentioned above rectified. Now that we have developed this far, can you imagine what kind of power we would have had if the stuffs were correct. Yes, we have examples surrounding us, don't we? I love my country,man.

Its a norm during polling season that everyone seems to be talking whatever at all they 

see, hear or read. Well, that is a sign of thinking community, but I suggest for all of us to evaluate what we see, hear or read (I'm being neutral here). Definitely it is not the first hand info as someone would have told someone before reaching us. Yet, there are very transparent news available for us by certain people & agents. So, let us get our thinking machine run and make the 'thinking community' a 'properly thinking community'.

As a Malaysian Indian, I think our community is at peak of thinking, evaluating & deciding position. Let us do it wisely. I am not telling "Vote for this! Vote for that!", but asking us to think think & think before delivering any decision. Remember, our smallest drop will definitely bring a strong message this time to whom so ever that going to rule the country; That we are here in this country & very much part of it's democracy. Let there be changes or not, we definitely want changes on our position as fellow rakyat.

These are the few things running in my head (and many others) which I thought of sharing. I love this country & my rakyat.

Now, I write....
