how do we save malaysia? corruption?

What has Malaysia been doing recently?
Lets see..

Firstly,

As part of a transaction whereby the Malaysian government bought 18 Sukhoi Su-30MKM fighter jets, the Russian Federal Space Agency has agreed to take a Malaysian into space in 2007 as part of the Angkasawan program

They sent a surgeon/model to space with no particular reason;Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor.
When he returns from space, how does he feel to be the first malaysian to be in space with no qualifications related to astronomy or particle physics? "I miss nasi lemak"

I think it was a sign from God that his brother slipped and rammed his head into a pillar and face planted to the ground, being pissed.

Im sure there are more intellectual and capable malaysians that could be sent to space for a reason. Heck, they should send Dr. Lan from Monash.

Secondly,
Malaysia claims to be a democratic country with freedom of speech allowing public rally to take course. And our Information Minister said " Protests are illegal"



The people in the crowd has two mentalities, the first would be, "hey my friends are going there for the rally, that will be fun, should get my adrenaline running" - trouble makers. The other ones would be genuine malaysian rallying for a transparent election where those are the ones who i pity for getting chemicals stuck in their eyes when they want malaysia to really make something of themselves.


I had a discussion with Riorn the other day. He said he wants to become a politician and lead Sabah and declare it as an independant state. And our conversation eventually led to why malaysia is slacking off compared to singapore.


Why are the malaysian police corrupt?
- they dont get paid enough, they get 3 figure salaries. why shouldnt they take bribes to feed their many children and few wives?
- they have no pride in their work, they dont feel proud to be part of the police force.
- there is no transparent system of monitoring the amount of people they stop

How do we stop corruption?

-what happened to the police wearing the badges saying that they dont take bribes? As suspected malaysia only is enthusiastic and carries out efforts to better the country for a short period of time, after a month or so, it goes cold and it just slides.

- pay the police more, make them content and make their pay increments proportional to the amount of summons issued.

- reduce summons to a bearable level, majority of the malaysians cant afford to pay fines, reduce fines to the amount a bribe would cost, RM50.

- introduce a system which records the offender digitally on the road and uploads it to the police server for record, and no police can issue a summon without a video proof of the offender being caught red handed. Of course this will cost alot to implement but this would be good for road blocks.

- digitize the whole summons issuing, like speed cameras, police do not have to issue the summon and the summon is issued digitally and posted to the offenders.

-breathalyzers, digitized, when it passes a certain alcohol blood ratio level, the information is directly sent to the police station to issue the summons digitally, driver's license and identification cards are scanned like how cheques are deposited, and the identification card or details can be read through the embedded chip. so you just have to swipe the card, exhale into the breathalyzer and its done. Of course this would be expensive to implement and we must assure that it is fool proof for highschool graduate policeman or they could undergo some training courses.

-video cameras in the police cars recorded constantly like in the states.

im done venting..
