'Only in Malaysia that we erect our own ragtag communication masts.'

It's a sad truth that rural area communication will be several orders worse than in town. It is also always true that ingenious local solutions will be developed in reaction to this.

When someone managed to grab the public attention on how atrocious the situation is, what did the government do? Instead of tackling the question head-on, they blame the messenger. Isn’t it nice that we have money to splurge on fancy buildings or Putrajaya, but no money for basic infrastructures in someDid I read that some folks in Kampung Sungai Teras in Slim, Perak, only managed to get electricity when there was a by-election recently? Did I read that some Sabah folks will only vote for those frogs who can pave the roads in their kampung?

But most voters are too lenient and have voted back those who will never bring changes to their area. And this has become a norm. Every time election comes, politicians will put out baits and lure voters into supporting them. And most of the time it works. How sad it is. Further back, in the old days, the police officer will cycle to the houses to convey important messages. Today, things have changed. That is good.
