Monthly Leakage

The current 'hot' issue is the leakage in Batu Gajah!!?
Well, somehow, the leakage in Batu Gajah has caused problem to those as far as Jasin and Kinabatangan( wow, that ain't leakage, should be a flood instead =/ )

For those of you in the dark about what I'm talking about, let me summarize it for you.

It starts with two MPs saying:
"Mana ada bocor? Batu Gajah bocor tiap-tiap bulan juga.(Where got leak? Batu Gajah leaks monthly too)"

And that statement caused a furore...(The rakyat; both men and women, demanded an apology from the MPs involved)

In defence, the person(s) involved said:
"What I meant by Batu Gajah leaks every month is urinating. It didn't have anything to do with women's kitar haid."

And that sparked even greater uproar from the rakyat...( Do you think that we're that dim-witted to believe your excuse??!)

And now, he told the media:
"I didn't say anything about that. The media exaggerated it.(Referring to the first statement)
So, Why do I have to apologize?"


The way I see it:

A primary school student forgot/lazy to do his homework.(First statement that got him in trouble)

Then, he didn't pass up his homework. When the teacher realized and asked him about it, he gave this excuse:
"Teacher, it's not my fault!! My dog ate my homework."
(Second statement where he was giving the lame excuse, expecting the rakyat to believe it. The teacher is the rakyat in the way I see it.)

The teacher didn't believe him, of course; and was infuriated.
Sensing himself in trouble now, the student tried to deny everything and changing the story:
"Teacher, I already passed up my homework. Maybe when Ahmad carried it to the teacher's room, he dropped it. It's not my fault."
(Third statement referred to his denial, blaming the media who made up the whole story. In the way I see it, Ahmad is the media.)

Well, the whole point of me writing this is not to talk about gender equality, but responsibility.
Both the MPs in the story actually have created quite a reputation for themselves prior to this; also with their insensitive and irresponsible remarks. (Strangely, no actions have been taken against them)
And in this story, once again they are free from responsibility because the Batu Gajah MP filed a complaint a day after the remark is made( because the rules/system stated that the report must be made within three or four hours after the statement itself)
And while writing this, it reminded me of the Klang MPs( building big houses without approval, and not to forget, having the money to build it with low monthly-salary) issue and the close one eye issue.
What happened to those people involved? Case closed? No actions taken?

The MPs are considered the representatives of the rakyat and therefore, have to show good example to the rakyat. Leading by example, right? And one good example they can show is admitting their mistakes and taking up responsibilities for their actions/words. Everyone make mistakes; I'm sure the rakyat understands that, too. If only the MPs were to apologize for what they said and ready to face the consequences, I'm positive the rakyat would just forgive them and give them another chance.(And maybe even compliment them for admitting their mistakes, taking up responsibilities like an adult instead of acting like a primary school student)
However, that is not what the MPs did. They gave excuses and even denying the facts to protect themselves(A selfish act indeed)

Malaysia is a great nation, and it is flourishing.
Let's just hope that the prosperity of our nation will not be held back by few irresponsible people.
As the malay saying goes, 'kerana nila setitik, rosak susu sebelanga'

And to all Malaysians, it is us who choose the MPs. So, take hints of all that is happening and choose the individuals that are really qualified and you have faith in to represent; to lead us, the rakyat.
