Face To Face (1st Comment)

As usual a very splendid article. You certainly did not pull any punches with your frank views and most of all, you were rather witty in that interview. RPK, your reasoning that the opposition should boycott the elections does make a lot of sense, but however, I strongly feel that we need an opposition to speak out about the injustices that is happening all too frequently these days. For your information, I am proud to announce that I will be joining the ranks of the opposition by becoming a member of the democratic action party this coming Sunday, the 14th of this month at Teresa Kok's service centre. At least, I now have another platform to air my grievances against this very dictatorial government, and even get the opportunity to inform Malaysian voters of their rights to vote in a new government. Although you rightly said, for the opposition to win the forthcoming elections is quite impossible with the odds stacked against them, but however, we should not give up hope as we must not give up without a fight. Recently, i wrote to Marina Mahathir to ask her to impress upon her father to repent of all his misdeeds, and to shed light on the Lingamgate scandal.Of course, I do not expect to get a reply from her. in my humble opinion, Mahathir will not repent, for I remember reading in the news that he congratulated the Malaysian space tourist who was blasted into space on Wednesday. I believe that sending a Malaysian to space was the brainchild of mahathir, and what's more, about 100 million dollars of the taxpayer's money has been wasted in this stupid project, when these funds could have been better spent to help Malaysians subsidise food prices, gas and petroleum hikes and to provide much better health care, etc. I may sound unpatriotic, but 100 million dollars could certainly be put to better use to give Malaysians a better quality of life. Finally, RPK, like many Malaysia-Today readers, I sincerely hope that you will set up a political party to right the wrongs of this very despotic government for their many crimes seem to go unchecked. It leads me to believe that the motto of the Barisan government is, "Might Is Right". I'm glad that both Sivarasa and Sim of the PKR have decided to stand their ground with regards to the Lingam tape issue, rather than to be bullied into submission by the government and the ACA.

Do keep up with the struggle my friend, for we need to fight the good fight in order to achieve our goals. Once again, a very selamat hari raya to you and your loved ones, not forgetting your team who have been working diligently for the cause.
