God help these nincompoops who are unclear of their duties
From Francis YM, via e-mail
When you say servant, it literally means to serve, but the irony of government servants in Malaysia is that they expect us to be their servants and they want to be our masters.
How did this come in being? Well, when a system has been around for 50 years without change, complacency sets in along with with corruption, greed, pride, ego and what not.
All this while only Alliance and next, the Barisan National were ruling all the states except for Kelantan (the last several years).
So with this in mind, let's go to the current spat in Penang between the chief minister and a small time SDO (State Development Officer), Nik Ali Mat Yunus who's been labelled a little Napolean.
If I'm not mistaken this title was given to government officers back before GE12, around 2005/2006 by Lim Kit Siang in his articles.
These little Napoleans are not only in Penang but in every state. They bow to no one not even the Prime Minister, cause these small fries are big in their little areas. They are lords.
They control all at their whims and fancies, the government of the day has got no time to do a check and balance, so these fries are are happy and contended. They do not want change
Today the scenario is different. Four states are controlled by Pakatan, they have to be accountable for the sake of the rakyat who voted them in. But can these little Napoleans accept this change in masters.
Life with the previous government was all rosy, they were calling the shots, now it is not the same as someone is watching them. Can they change for the new government of the day? No Way! To make matters worse, there are people who encourage them to go against the current govermnent with the support of the federal government.
So these little Napoleans become Trojan Horses, and create havoc for the ruling government, especially in Penang and Selangor, not knowing that they are betraying their race, the King and the nation.
The chief sec! retary t o the government, Mohd Sidek Hassan has joined in the fray in support of all the little Napopeans. He thinks his bread is buttered by the goverment of the day.
He being the highest officer of the goverment servants thinks his loyalty is with Barisan government. God help these nincompoops who do not understand that a servant is to serve the rakyat who pays taxes to pay these idiots.
My advice to the rakyat and to all the people I know is to go for change. We need a new government now, the old one has lost its usefulness after 50 years.
