Voters Rights

Come the next General Election, voters must demand for those candidates who will empower the electorates with the right to recall their elected representatives on the ground of non-performance, corruption, party hopping and or lack of personal integrity.

The present political scenario in Malaysia is much to be desired where corruption in the highest order is vividly displayed by the unethical politicians. What the people want is a responsible and accountable governance to compliment the choices of the people who have elected the representative they want.

By exercising our judicious right to elect those representatives is to select candidate without criminal records and having the concerns for youths, women, the poor and most of all the marginalized at heart.
Such criteria act as preventive measures to sieve out the rotten candidates that would be. The electorates are equally guilty to put them into office and be disappointed by their political antics subsequently.

As and when any elected representatives fail in his or her duty to his or her constituents, then by stepping down for a by-election is noble. By generating hate literature and campaign and can get Scot free is plain betrayal to the Malaysian society as a whole. Such camouflage does not work anymore!

The present contemporary should not stand idle to any politician who has failed in his or her duty. The refusal to step down is contempt to the “people’s court” and should be sued by the very people who have voted such politician into office.
