I felt quite sick of what these days the first few pages of the newspapers are reporting of: Politicians involved in a tug-of-words with one another, organisations doing something so annoyingly weird that I thought that are they in sleep-walking mode, Lynas's plans are passed by the government without considering throughly ...
In the past, I've learnt that some adults said that youths are reluctant to politics and like to hate harsh realities in life (I mean, those adult stuff that are considered 'boring' that time) ... Well, I suggest it's proven, but given the condition that the politics are so much worse than a soap opera ...
Once, someone told me that students nowadays are damn good in speaking (the best), reading and writing, but they lack of a very crucial skill - listening. They may have the skills to write a top quality essay, they may have eloquent speaking skills, and are able to read fluently, but they don't get specific details when it comes to listening. Does the education system forces us to achieve academic success BUT ignoring the importance of listening skills?
In the working world, listening skills are equally important to communication and speaking skills. This can be easily shown in politicians currently. Ya, I know that the general elections are coming within months but is there any necessary to fight for votes just by speeches and propaganda and not actually the performance? The government may have the power to rule the country, but nevertheless, sometimes the institution just got quite poor when it comes down to getting what the people really wants (it not only includes adults, it also includes teenagers and maybe kids too, they did damn poor on this point). Can you just imagine what will happen if a customer orders a plate of nasi lemak with ikan bilis topping on it, and the hawker prepared a plate of roti canai with curry poured on top of it? It's quite bizzare for some stupid mistakes like that to happen (the customer could have buzzed the hawker for preparing the wrong food, or just eat it), but if you look from a bigger perspective, it's common.
Another thing I would like to address is that many politicians are also below par on execution of their 'plans'. You may witness the execution of the plans were initially successful, but then, you don't even see much progress on it, some even caused backfire without the enforcement required. Later, you'll see those guys to give out sudden benefits which somehow 'dropped from the sky' and even more 'plans' right before the general elections. Many times some of them had decided to implement some plans that are actually odd and seemingly useless to ordinary citizens like us. I'm reluctant to state examples because I'm quite sick of them and I don't hope that I analysed the situations wrongly or I may haven't see the true picture of the issues.
So, those individuals who are the ones similar to my description, well, please improve because if not, I think some of us may not even flip any pages of the national section at all ...
(p/s: again, this is my opinion and I'm not here to offend anybody. Don't put a finger on me because I don't think it'll help and it's so gonna made into the papers, which I do not like publicity as I might ask for a refund from the papers for 'getting my photos and my article without permission' under the 'Copyright Act', perhaps?)
