Recent news of different groups making a fuss of the German beer festival Oktoberfest, which is quite widely marked in Malaysia, reminded me of what Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra said in 1975. The nation’s first prime minister said, “In the old days, people never bothered about what others did, so long as they were free to do what they liked themselves. Today, one cannot sneeze without being corrected, let alone enjoy oneself. That’s what politics have done to our society.” Almost 40 years have passed and Malaysian politics has gone from bad to worse. Many politicians today have become “moral police”, busy going around telling people what to do and what not to do; some are sincerely convinced, while some are just pure hypocrites. -------
