I wish I could say
We had a competent Transport Minister in Malaysia
But all that he could offer was
"Saya akan siasat..." after every fire or disaster
I wish I could say
We had a capable Public Works Minister in Malaysia
Only if he was judged
By the number of toll plazas all over the country
I wish I could say
We had a friendly Culture & Tourism Minister in Malaysia
But he made more enemies than friends
Across the causeway
I wish I could say
We had an efficient Defence Minister in Malaysia
But tell me how many lives had lost
In those frequent plane crashes
I wish I could say
We had a farsighted Education Minister in Malaysia
But look at what he has done
To the shortage of SRJK (C) schools in urban areas
I wish I could say
We had an alert Domestic Trade & Consumer Affairs Minister in Malaysia
But the prices of every damn thing
kept going up like nobody's business
I wish I could say
We had a dynamic Human Resource Minister in Malaysia
But we couldn't even provide a Minimum Wage
For our workers in the estates
I wish I could say
We had an efficient Housing & Local Government Minister in Malaysia
But what happened to the low-cost houses
He had promised to build for the poor
I wish I could say
We had a caring Health Minister in Malaysia
But please stop privatising our medical services in the general hospitals
Causing more agony to patients already suffering
I wish I could say
We had a professional IGP in Malaysia
But one could develop a black eye
In his cell overnight
I wish I could say
We had a magnanimous Attorney-General in Malaysia
But why a member of Parliament
Was prosecuted and jailed
For helping an underaged woman?
I wish I could say
We had a learned Lord President in Malaysia
But he seemed to spell the word JUSTICE
As JUST Ice
I wish I could say
We had a great Prime Minister in Malaysia
But then I would be lying or dreaming
