Dr. M: Don't bite the hands that feed you

Recently, former Malaysian prime minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamed told Federal Land Development Authority (FELDA) settlers "Don't bite the hands that feed you". FELDA is a Malaysian government agency initially founded to resettle rural poor into newly developed areas and to develop small holder farms and in the past decades engages in diversified business activities.
 
The former Malaysian premier has not only endorsed current Prime Minister Najib Razak's campaign to win the coming 13th General Election, where the Parliament will automatically dissolves on 28th April 2013 but also has seen campaign actively for the ruling coalition on the front line.
 
Dr. Mahathir said "Don't bite the hands that feed you"
 
I said to the government "Don't steal from the hands that vote you"
 
We vote politicians into government office is to govern and make policies on behalf on all Malaysians for what is best for the nation and its future. We do not vote politicians into the government office to legitimize the act of possessing the nations' treasure and wealth at its whims and fancies. If the government of the day provides for its citizens, it is its' responsibility and duty as a government elected by the people. So if the government "steal from the hands that voted them in", then its our duty to safeguard the nation's future and wealth by changing the government, voting out a goverment that mismanaged the economy and worsening corruption and leakages.
 
This is it! Let's change!
