Democracy tradition. Are we there yet?

Malaysia not yet can officially be called democratic system. Democracy system just being chose by the ruler just to fog the people sight and to put in the people’s mind that Malaysia is just fair enough to all to voice out the people right but not really actually compare to those other republic country where the people are the underdog. Malaysia can be said have a little understanding on what democracy is. Democracy itself can’t give any benefit to the people and the people should not hoping for it to do so. Democracy can’t even do anything –only the people of the democracy can act include the people among the government servant. Democracy is refer to the people not to the government system. The government just have to follow what the people have chose in order to the smoother administration and should not go against what people want. Democracy can only illustrate how people can act constantly and articulately. But when the majority have decided to be faith under inhuman system, a democrat should not think the unparallel of his or her point of view with the system should be voice out first but have to aware others about the situation the people going to face aftermath as he or she also should realize that the democracy tradition in the country is not strong enough.

Institution formed is not enough if not pattern with tradition. The institutions always torn due to achieving an opposite goal among others cause of the absence of tradition stability. For example, an opposition party should take action on the majority who robbed people’s money. But it happens other way around as the opposition shared the profit made from the political confiscate. Where is the division for the people? It is such a waste of time talking about democracy if both wings flapping for flying sake and not for landing and eating and filling the full function of it. In a nutshell, tradition is needed most to engage the institutions with the intention and valuation of every individual. This is as much as what anarchism bear which is the right to speak out people’s mind and fight for the real democracy. And anarchist Guy Fawkes was right when he said government should be afraid of the people and the people should not be afraid of the government realising without people, what is government stands for, and as for the ruler, he or she have to be the sheep to lead the sheep.
