Zaid’s Simple Recipe To Reforms

Senator Datuk Zaid Ibrahim said that a reform is only complicated if we dont want it. The Government should be more transparent, adopt meritocracy and a more equitable system and this is not easy. Secondly, the civillians should voice up their problems to their Member of Parliament, the party in power and the president of the party. Or they should change the government if that doesn’t work. Besides, we all have to find alternative routes to get what we want. The reform was meant to make the Government more transparent, employ a fairer and more equitable system, get the best people for the job, and to have meritocracy in place. The difficulty is some people don’t want to change and as long as they are in power. The race relations is a major problem in Malaysia. There are Malays who subscribe to ketuanan Melayu, special rights, special law and are fearful of the Chinese. The young people should be able to understand the other’s problems and fears so we can solve problems.The whole spectrum of our national life cannot undergo reform if the Malays, Chinese and Indians are ridden with fear and chauvinistic views. We should move beyond talk, address the fundamental problem, understand the issues and be willing to sit down and be trusting enough with one another. We really need to get out of mediocrity and stereotype and educate young people. Solving national problems is very difficult as the problems involve numerous people with different background, thougths, races and religion. By identifying the root of the problems and equality. Hopefully we can solve the problems wisely with all people satisfy with the solution.
