Your Offer Isn't Good Enough

Last year end, Malaysia had the Y.E.S. Yes, the radio commercial was very intimidating. The wife was rephrasing the Y.E.S. over and over again but the husband just didn't get it until the end of the commercial. During the Y.E.S., expect a lot of great offers. But what happens if the people turn down the offer?

If you're offering me something that suits a win-win situation, why would I have second thoughts? Your offer seems like to make you look good, you take credit, I do all the get-down-and-dirty work. You thought that us youngsters can be fooled that easy? You haven't seen the rest of us yet.

If you wanna know what it's like, picture yourself as a Rakyat. Then comes the election season. During the season, the leaders, either government or opposition candidate, would promise you the world. But once they've got their spot, it goes the other way around. Doesn't that just grabbed your balls?

This goes around almost everywhere. In your family (your dad promises a handphone if you get straight A's), with your friends (sahabat promises you never to betray you), in the office (your boss promises you a bonus) and don't forget about your beloved political organisation (rank has always been the tool). Yeah, all of you. Not only UMNO.

In return, you'd get something. But not up to your expectations. So I suggest, whenever there is a "janji manis", make it on paper. It'll be official. No one can stand in your way. But all these promises will promise you one thing, motivation. So it may be a good-and-bad thing. You lose one part, you gain another.

But remember, just do what you got to do. Nothing else matters.
