I don't know what else I should write here. Somehow I'm having a writer's block. I remember my English literature lecturer once said to us about overcoming writer's block. Hmm..Mr Hakikat Singh, oh yes..this name certainly rings a bell in my mind about my good one year in PPP, ITM.

Anyway, last week I was at PAS-Keadilan political campaign speech. That was the first time ever I attended such program after I got back from the States. The first time I had such experience was in 1998 when Anwar was sacked from the cabinet. I was at his home, surveying, looking and tasting how was it like to be in a 'Reformasi' movement.

You see, Anwar has always been a political icon to me. I view him as a charismatic leader and a responsible one too. I'm sure he has a lot of shortcomings but he is the best candidate so far. Seriously I believe nobody in UMNO Supreme Council can match his charisma. His oratory skill is certainly superb and I don't think Pak Lah can even be in his league.

So, coming back to the story which I was at the political speech of PAS-Keadilan in Taman Melewar, hell..I really don't know what moved me to be there although it was quite late that night. After Anwar delivered his speech and some comments about PKR's loss in the recent by-election in Ijok, I managed to have a chat with PKR's Ijok by-election candidate, Tan Sri Khalid and Azmin Ali, the PKR vice president. Azmin has known me since last year when I sat next to him in the civil court at Wisma Denmark. Ever since then, we sometimes communicate through sms.

I believe in Alternative Front's cause. I do believe people should stop supporting corrupt government. I do believe government must be told that they serve the people, not the other way around. I strongly support for a conscious and just government. Everyone deserves to be treated equal, regardless of their skin color and religion preference. I strongly admire those who fought for the country's dignity in preserving democracy..but not at the expense of establishing another corrupted government.

The recent by-election was an exhibition of gargantuan scale of corruption, practiced in a broad daylight by our so called leaders. The abuse of power by the leader is clearly seen throughout the campaign period. The oppression made by the government through government instruments like police and FRU upon the opposition parties was utterly disgusted. Not to mention the thug-like attitude demonstrated by Pemuda UMNO. I feel pity for those who claim they fight for the Malays when actually, they only fight for their own rice pot. I definitely won't buy such cheap talk.

So, what should I do? Frankly, I think it's high time for young people to question again their belief, to evaluate their political standing and to visualize what will happen to us in the next 5, or 10 or 15 years if these irresponsible actions go unchecked.

Each of us is an agent of change. Without a collective consciousness, there will not be a strong nation. Without a collective effort, there will not be any clean government. And without a collective humility, we all just be slaves to the elite ruling party's leaders. "It's sad, but true" (borrowed from Metallica).
