A disconnected Malaysia – TK Chua
Looking at Malaysia’s plight;
There are no solutions in sight;
National leaders talking baloney trying to turn the tide;
But it will only prolong Malaysia’s fallen pride.
Foreign workers are everywhere;
Leading our country to nowhere;
Falling ringgit finds no rest;
GST and cost of living continue to snare.
Sarawak Report gave some insight;
WSJ joined the fight;
Time now joined the fray;
Economist too has not spared.
The opposition is in disarray;
Government institutions have no say;
Malfeasance has a field day;
It is really a shame to leave it to Dr Mahathir.
Loyalty to leaders is now absolute;
Right and wrong are no issue;
Fundamental principles are ridiculed;
All for the sake of someone’s misplaced resolute.
It is long past crying for Malaysia;
It is time to get out of the quagmire;
Many hope that the declaration will rekindle;
But many too are not sure.
Very few newly independent states have achieved much;
For a while Malaysia was on its vision march;
Alas, the march was just a farce;
It is time to keep Malaysia from becoming a Third World fart. – March 5, 2016.
