Gen 2 Candidates

In the up coming general election, we will see a number of children or family members taking over from their parents or alongside them. Is this good for the country?

This is a fixed scandals, and why should they be allow to participated in the first place? Is it because their parents were reps before so they enjoy a previlage of getting nominated? For example in Klang Datuk Zakaria is being omitted from the nomination list, yet his son is now being nominated.

Rumous spreaded that Datuk Z involved in one too many of a court case, hence it's not suitable to stand for this coming election. Therefore he nominated, or suggested his son as a replacement to the cabinet so in case anyone who would wanted to take action against him would be dealt with difficulties due to his son's influence. Not sure how true is this, but sound reasonable.


There are others where similar scenario is happening, and people who we do not know or even heard of is being nominated to stand the election. Are these people really up to the tasks? Are they standing for election base on their own ability or because of family influences that make them candidates?

Someone within the cabinet always mentioned we are a clean and fair country and government, but all these are purely textbook talk without any basis, and whatever they did showed otherwise. So how true is their statements and also can we really trust them for another term? I sincerely hope BN will lose more seats in the parliment than they anticipated and they would learn from their misbehaviour and inability to guide the country.
