malaysiakini and ADVICE for KT VOTERS

Many Malaysians hoped that the BN would take urgent steps to begin major reforms but most are quite disappointed that the ruling coalition has not been able to change its old ways.
Even the ouster of AAB by his own political party shows that the old ways die hard.
This article from malaysiakini is most apt. Will they bite the 'hand that feeds'? indicates a "master-servant" relationship between the political leaders and the electorate.
The BN machinery is up to its old tricks of granting major financial incentives just before an election and this must surely be construed as a form of vote-buying.
The idea of "biting the hand that feeds" indicates that the feeder is the master in control deciding how much and when you get a meal if any.
It is time that all the voters in KT showed those who manipulate them who is the real BOSS.
Just as the tolls contracts reveals, some people have been getting more than their fair share of feeds. Just imagine how much is left on the table for truly helping the poor and marginalised.
My advice is "Take whatever is given, but do vote for your own freedom." BTW you can expect any petrol price reduction anytime soon.
