Power elite and little people<\/p>\n
From Pikiran Rakyat<\/p>\n
It is certain that political campaigns will precede the June
\ngeneral election. I appeal to the little people like myself not
\nto overact during the campaigns by behaving recklessly. Such
\nactions will trigger physical clashes and end in accidents.<\/p>\n
Remember that it is we, the little people, who will be the
\nvictims. Also remember to refuse to be pitted against each other
\nby the political elite. Trust me, the political elite want to get
\nsoft seats by becoming members of the House of Representatives or
\ngovernment officials. It is not sure that they will remember us
\nafter they succeed.<\/p>\n
We must remember the past. We were tired when campaigning. We
\nbecame the victims in accidents. The agreeable things went to the
\npower elite who, as House members, received big salaries and
\ntempting emoluments.<\/p>\n
In my opinion, campaigns should be conducted in a natural way
\nwithout the risk of causing accidents, because in case of
\naccidents it is the families who bear the responsibility. It is
\nnot sure that the political elite will be accountable.<\/p>\n
We may be deeply involved in campaigns, but we will gain
\nnothing; the little people will remain the little people who will
\nhave nothing to eat if they do not exert themselves.<\/p>\n
