The New Way Democracy



We have read in the paper that Tun Rafidah is passing the baton over to her deputy, Datuk Seri Shahrizat in the year 2009. Therefore, she had appealed to all Wanita members not to contest for the top two posts so that they can win unoppossed. This is to ensure the unity of the members remains strong.

Reason that I post this up was - I used to be active in societies where we have president, vice president, secretary, treasurer and so on and so forth. Never had anyone taught me before that the post of president can be passed over to the deputy unless the president decides to quit out of his/her personal reasons. That also does not mean that the deputy will be promoted automatically. What was the norm was the deputy will temporary hold the position until the next soonest election.

So, does this mean that there will be another election after Tun Rafidah quits ? It somehow wasnt projected that way in the paper. I could be mistaken. But if it is true on what was reported in the paper, then isn't it a mocking to democracy that we had 'upheld' all these times ? Why wanna contest when you decided to quit before the term is over ? Shouldn't the people elect who they want as their chief ?

Doesn't make any sense at all. Nothing ever does nowadays...
