Standing On Cracks

What caught my eyes was the public complain, we can actually complain about the government and the government has provided a means for that. So does that mean we can tell the government about possible corruption by VIPs, poor management, useless policy, rising oil prices and why did Barcelona win the Champions League. Eager to make the world a better place I clicked at the option so fast that no evolution actually manages to occur in that split moment. I was very exited with the prospect to be able to complain about a certain Kinabatangan River residence making a fool of himself (yes I hold a grudge). I started to draft my complain in my vastly ill-equip brain while the page started to load. Guess what? You need to key your name and IC number to file a complaint (yes I know what you are thinking now). Can we actually stop corruption this way? The government itself is discouraging people to complaint and com forward by requiring someone to key in their ID. Don’t they know that these grandfathers (Datuks) have more power than us the mere rakyat? I agree we could some how filter out spam and all but like I have argue before, the 1 out of 24 Malaysian has some intelligence to actually compile facts before complaining. Don’t tell me these are the measure to eradicate corruption. You might as well set up a complain booth next a live camera so everyone in the government knows who are making the complaints and wait for ISA to come else some henchmen to screw your a**.

Ok fine, I click back to homepage and try another link that can some how convince me the government is trying to combat corruption. So went to see the government tenders. Hoping to see tons and tons of tender here especially since RM-9 has just been announced, NOT!!! There were only 2 bloody tender categories available!! I understand if some of the tender are not listed for tender due to the nature of the project wouldn’t it still make more sense for the Government to show the respective status of tender (more transparency remember?). Of course I am not expecting it to be filled with tender information those stuff as confidential anyway but a least I would like to know who tendered for them and who got them, right? Maybe just maybe informing us why they got it, a general information will do like company A won the tender because they offered the lowest price or company B got the project because so and so son in law is a share holder.

Yes fellow readers (if any), the government is actively combating corruption as we can all see and they are using the internet as well. At least for this they are censoring the content as they say they would. Admitedly I did not surf the whole site but I lost interest and felt disgusted by just these few links. Final score 2/10 (round up number).
