Politics sans rhetorics

For the past couple of days until this weekend, UMNO politicians are in town for the UMNO General Assembly. Most assuredly, the media will give their focus to the goings-on of the assembly. For those interested, the PM's opening speech (the Presidential's Policy Address) can be read here.

As many close friends know, I am no longer interested in politics since coming back from the UK way back in 1996. At best, I consider myself just an observer and perhaps an analyst of the goings-on.

My only hope for this year's assembly is that the politicians put aside their rhetorics, focus on real issues, and speak intellectually based on facts and not emotions.

But then, as a friend pointed out, it wouldn't be politics if there are no emotions and rhetorics.

Mayhaps it's time to change?
