There are tell-tale signs abounding in this country that give clear indications that the Madani government, in actuality and truth, do not have the heart and soul of the rakyat on their radar for a slew of reasons.

Like all Malaysian despotic governments of the past, the tale is the same. Political parties go fishing for votes with empty promises on which they renege, as to fulfill these general election manifestos is really too much of an ask.

Why make such ‘janji kosong’ or empty promises? The reason is simple. It is just a political ploy to come to power by deceiving voters who in every general election usually fall for the same gimmicks and tricks performed by politicians.

Malaysia’s voter population must make sure they learn from the mistakes of the past, and not fall for the same political bait, as, to do so is going to be an insult on their intelligence and maturity as voters.

It is important to endorse candidates up for elections, either to form state assemblies or the parliament, who can fulfill and satisfy the wishes and aspirations of the rakyat that really counts and matters in the end.

This should be the primary aim and objective of voters in voting for political candidates. Everything else is secondary. In this way, the rakyat is able to benefit immeasurably by voting for a candidate who can perform and deliver the results.
