In Malaysia, it should not be called politics. It should be called POLETICKS instead. POLETICKS comes from two words: POLE and TICKS.

POLE can be defined as one of two divergent or mutually exclusive opinions, the keyword being mutually exclusive. Of course in Malaysia, it is more than two. If you have not noticed, the political parties in Malaysia are mainly race-driven rather than being driven by a certain idealogy.

TICKS are blood sucking parasites. Need I say more?

I find it interesting that the politicians in Malaysia are not really afraid of the people who elected them and thinks they are above the average citizens. Instead of doing public service with minimal salary, the local politicians usually end up retiring filthy rich (OK, giving them the benefit of doubt, maybe some have rich parents to begin with). If the are really interested in serving the community, wealth should be secondary, right? They should not have side businesses, etc… Otherwise, they are not 100% committed.

Anyway, this category called poleticks is dedicated to the Malaysian political scene. Be entertained! And read everything here with an open mind…
