Malaysians everywhere need to tell our politicians to grow up!

Malaysians everywhere must to raise their voices and let our politicians know loud and clearl that they should stop behaving like infants for political mileage.

I am an avid reader of world affairs, especially Malaysia's political and social scene. I have lived overseas for 10 years now but Malaysia is and will always be home to me.

I don't blog and I am not a member of any politicial party but recent developments in Malaysia has prompted me to express my concerns with the hope that sound reason and understanding can prevail.

To our wakil rakyat I welcome robust discussions and debates on various matters but you must step up and act like leaders especially when there are major issues that is threatening Malaysian society. I hate playing the blame game but to UMNO-BN, you won the elections so you need to take decisive action not for political expediency but for national unity. As for Pakatan rakyat, you may not have won Putrajaya but I'm sure you can do something in Penang, Selangor and Kelantan.

Something must be done. Action must be taken. Put aside your petty and childish differences for the good of the country. Stop using the rakyat as pawn for your political games.

What I am writing here is not rocket science and it is not unique but if our political leaders really want to make things work they can. Some leaders like Mujahid Yusof Rawa and Saifuddin Abdullah are doing just that.

They are examples of how you can be from different political parties but you can still come together for the good of the country. More students, politicians and representatives from NGO's need to step up. I believe there are many out there working together but they are just not being loud enough.

The UMNO-BN government has set up the National Unity Consultative Council (NUCC) which is an excellent initiative but will be irrelevant if there is no political will from them. Since there is no political will, we have to make it clear that they must act! So to all Malaysians in cyberspace, let's be loud and clear, tell our politicians they need to step up and be the leaders Malaysians deserve!
