Dissatisfaction can GROW

Dissatisfaction amongst people are behind the many issues besetting governments the world over. Security issues, social issues, economic issues and of course political issues are not new challenges at all. Leaders will only have to calm the storms with tact and skills. Strategies must fall into place and ideas from all strata of society must be respected. Some countries not practicing democracy adopt other ways rather than listening to their society to solve their problems. And that has led to catastrophic situation. History has the record.
From a proven establishment in the US to the volatile Korean scenario, governments are chosen by the people, good governance is the keyword for progress. Good governance means upholding values. When ethical values erode amongst leaders or when greed engulf the system, we are faced with people becoming dissatisfied and dissatisfaction can GROW. Make no mistake about that.
At home here in Malaysia, I do not see that we have any threat to our security but security is made an issue with the Internal Security Act, somewhat 'abused' in the recent past. Social issues are rare, religious issues almost nil in Malaysia but what is very much disturbing now is the increasing political issues, the PERAK case being a classic example, the speck is already in the eye. This must not be denied by any quarters, please. Doing so will tantamount to sweeping such issues under the carpet.
The 1Malaysia concept, tough as it may sound, has been implemented by our Prime Minister in an effort to bring people of all races together. For it to work, it must first be understood and respected which is the difficult part. And hastily too, our PM has introduced the KPI, not a new thing administratively, the impact is more on sending a clear message to everyone in the system to buckle up or get thrown out.
Threats are always abound in any society and Malaysia is not an exception to this norm. If threats are anything to go by leading on to issues to be solved, it is imperative that leaders remain calm. HOW they solve it is MOST important. And a problem is certainly not solved when systems are manipulated thus creating more dissatisfaction. Think about it!
