When high expectations are not met

Mycroft:

I am not aware of any "official" channel to voice your complaint. Usually the complaints will be written to the Hospital Pengarah, and take it from there. Maybe there's a complaint board in the MOH, but I don't know about that. Anyway, threaten to sue when complaining and things will move faster I guess.

Tan:
Am flying back from Sabah on May 8th, (thank god for Air Asia!) just to vote. Strange that an airliner which is closely linked to the famous son-in-law is flying me back to vote.

You know, I do agree that Malaysia has seen tremendous progress through the years, and that they are due to the government of that time. But I ask myself, did we fulfill our potential as a nation? Somehow, I feel cheated, because I feel we could have progressed so much more. And though stability is a key requisite for growth as the government has been barking for us to believe, I believe that change is needed, because we are slipping, we are becoming stagnant, and being stagnant is the worst sin of all.

No great change has ever come without great sacrifices. The freeing of the slaves in USA, the end of apartheid in South Africa, in fact our own independence! All these have occurred because people were shouting for change, and were willing to fight for it.

You call for my vote by claiming "look at my track record", "the opposition has no experience to govern". And yes, I have looked at your track record, and I am not impressed. You see, success and growth is a relative thing, you say now we are better off than Burma and Ghana. I say hogwash! With our nation's potential we should be comparing ourself to Japan and Korea. So I fail you on that count.

So the opposition has no experience? So what, can they do worse? How would I know if I don't give them a chance. And since when has any success come without its risk? After all, its only for 5 years, and if they don't do a good job I can boot them out. That is democracy.

The time is nigh, emotions are running high. Perhaps we can still save our country.
