Who Should Be Grateful ?

In ancient China, and even under the communist regime of China today, people were riminded to be grateful to the "son of heaven' and to the communist regime if they have food to eat. In other words, the communist China and the ancient emperors regarded themselves as great and supreme leaders who were able to provide food to the people. If you die of hunger, serve you right. But if you got food to eat, you must kneel down to the emperors and the communist leaders for they are the ones who " fill your stomach."

Some of the politicians in Malaysia got the idea of feudalism from China. They think that they are the ones who provide money, food, lodging, health and education to the voters, particularly the Chinese voters. So they demand that the Chinese voters vote for them. but if the Chinese were to vote against them, then they are regarded as the ungrateful lots who ought to be sent back to China.

In fact, it is not the Chinese voters who are ungrateful. it is the politicians or the privileged groups which are ungrateful. For the past few decades, the Chinese voted for them, helped them to become ministers, deputy ministers, MPs and state assemblymen. Instead of being grateful to the rakyat, these ungrateful politicians abuse their power to gather wealth through corrupt and immoral means. Look at khir Toyu, former and present ministers and presidents of MCA and other BN leaders, you can`t imagine how much wealth they have gathered. Not only that, even their cronies and supporters become filthy rich. So , who are ungrateful.?

The corrupt politicians set up companies such as PLUS and others to siphon off the money from the pockets of the poor people. As a result, the poor peopl;e suffer.

While the rich and wealthy companies are getting billions of subsidies from the government, our politicians are contemplating to remove subsidies to the poor rakyat. Consequently the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer.

So my question is ----WHO SHOULD BE GRATEFUL?
