YANG PENTING VS YANG BERKEPENTINGAN

When I was in school, I was thought a very important principle …. make sure that other people’s well being is more important than your own. It is the very basic principle that I believed our politician these days does not posses.

How many politicians these days are already rich before they decided they should join politics ‘to serve’? ‘TO SERVE’ … these two words does not seem to have any meanings to today’s politician. The only politician that I can think of that is already rich before deciding to serve the people is our very own Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohammad. Well done to you Tun, but I am so sorry to say that you are a dying breed.

Most people nowadays decide to join politics (especially the government parties) because they have no better profession to make money. They know that by joining politics they are basically handed license to make money. Their entrance into politics are filled with high expectations of earning big bucks, driving big cars, owning big houses and probably having big wives. These are the so called ….. Yang Berkepentingan.

Politicians fail to realized that they are supposed to serve the very public that has through thick and thin supported these politicians. These politicians have neglected the well being of the people that they are sworn to protect. These people’s well being should be taken care of every single time, every single breath as long as the politicians are still in power. These people are the so call …… Yang Penting.
