Legacies

Do we need legacies to validate our lives ?

I read with much amusement as to how our beloved PM is in a real hurry to pass some so called "reforms" to validate his stay in power the past few years. Funny how some people do absolute nothing for the people the last few years and then suddenly wake up to the harsh reality that they may be no longer in power by March 2009. So what do they do..... ? They start their so called reform bills to be tabled in parliament with a fervent hope that their previous stay in power is somehow validated now. This is their so called "legacy". It is their hope that future generations will remember them for their so called legacies ! Absolute rubbish is what I say! The so called reform bills are ill thought off and are mere white washing something that has rusted and corroded for a long time now. No amount of white paint and perfume scenting is going to wash away the rot and stink.

You want reforms Mr PM ? You want to leave behind a legacy ? In my books this is easily done...!

All you need to do is to abolish the ISA for starters. Sack all your incompetent Ministers, I can name you more than a few should you so require. Then clear out the rot and stink in the PDRM. Make the ACA truly independent and not beholden to the PM's office or the AG. Ensure that the AG's office is really up to the mark and not merely a tool of the politicians in this country. Make the newspapers independent. Arrest anyone who is an idiot enough to make racist remarks. I can go on should you so require, but I will not....as I am sure my pleas will fall on deaf rears.

Mr PM your present attempts at leaving a "legacy" is nothing more than a bad joke!
