Country moving backwards under Badawi

It's been more than 4 years since Abdullah Badawi became PM of Malaysia. During these 4 years, have Malaysia progressed forward under him? Have his promises being materialised? Do we still remember what his promises were? How much has the government done for the nations during these 4 difficult years?

From what I can see, our country's situation only get backwards, and still going further backwards today. I remembered the first promise of Pak Lah when he stepped up into the PM office, where he said of his priority in fighting against corruption, and also treating all nations equally and fairly, and developing the country further in continuation to what Dr. M had done thus far.

When we, all Malaysian heard that his first priority is to clean up the government image of badly corrupted, we were so happy and we were thinking that finally Dr. M regime will be faded away, and Malaysia will have a new image under a new leader, and with a new vision and aims. We all were so eagerly awaiting for all these to happened, and sadly to say, 4 years on and all these remains talk only.

What we've seen today is disasters one after another, corruptions cases after cases involving all the well known MPs, high profiles murder case, building collapses, mat rempits outragous behavious getting worse, robbery and rape cases almost every now and then, demonstrations and many many more which is endless in my mind.

So what has he done for our country so far? Has he contribute any goods to us till today? Has he really do what he meant by cleaning up the image? Or situation getting worse under his regime? All we can see is Abdullah Badawi is so powerless in controlling this government and all his ministers, including those "Small Potatoes" ministers. People can say and/or do what they like, and for one thing that is sure is they will not face any sanction even if found guilty, but actions will be taken against those who questioned.

So this is what he called fair treatment, and cleaning of government image. Probably we all were being too smart in presuming that Badawi is cleaning up the government image by getting rid of those corrupted. Maybe his way of cleaning image is to restricted citizens from questioning. Hence "No question, no issue. Question asked, go to jail"
