Depressing State of the Nation

1. Without a doubt, the current government is a Kerajaan Pemusnah Negara. Democratic principles are ignored, lying to the people, im Parliament, to the Monarch seems to be standard response. No shock considering they got to power through treacherous means.
2. Democratic principles call for separation of powers between the Exec, Legislative and Judiciary. Through the consenting peoples placed in positions of power, the substance of that separation has been rendered meaningless. The Speaker of the Parliament who assumed that position without a vote from the House is said to be a government lapdog. Can't disagree. And what is worse than seeing someone without a hint of remorse or irony swallow fighting words captured in digital form on what that position means? His brother is the AG doing prosecutions on behalf of the Government., Even without the Judges or the Courts being part of the web, the AG's powers to prosecute, drop charges, arrive at negotiated settlements when there are political interests to see certain outcomes are at play, means these 2 brothers are the instruments of death to the nation.
3. There's another family too - an ambitious but incompetent political animal, a four-mouthed public personality and a sister who became a willing political accomplice and tool in Anwar's downfall in 98. 
4. How important is it to instil those values in these children at an early stage? It's not about being too clever for their own good to achieve outcomes. Focusing on the maqasid has never been more important.
5. So, while Rome burns, these political actors continue with their performances.
6. The bit actors are playing their part - Anwar is being neutered at every turn and his control of his compadres too seem to be suspect. Each of them are seemingly easily turned at a price. Or even without a price, foolishly thinks they have the power to go it alone. The lack of strategic orientation has caused them dear. And it's not a call to bring back Rafizi either. He is not the solution.
7. The one strategic thinker in this is a nonagenarian with an outdated model of the world.
8. The only solution seems to be Mukhriz - it's a compromise solution for everybody. He has seemed to be acceptable amongst the warlords. And if the knives come out, as long as his dad is around, he will be well-protected.
9. In the meantime, >10,000 has died from Covid. Everyday for the last week it has been 17,000->20,000 cases a day, with estimates that 3x that number is percolating in the wild. No effort was expended for tracing. All the eggs are in the vax basket. Even then, that is not even foolproof as nothing yet on mixing, 3rd booster, adolescent vax. It has been a total failure.
10. Opposition makes noise on IVM, which has now been almost certain to be classified as a sham.
11. It is a very depressing state of affairs.
