The voters, the candidates, and the government

The voters vote for the candidates whom they think are able to serve the people well and the chosen candidates form the government to look after the interest of the people. It goes on fine for quite a while. However, in the recent election in Malaysia, the government received a rude awakening. The candidates did not receive the usual support from the voters. As reported in the mass media, one of the factors is that complacency sets in after running the government for so long. They don't listen well enough to the people anymore. They don't deliver what they have promised. The rising cost of everyday items hurts the common people very much. The crime rate, the judiciary, and the issue of transparency worry the people a lot. On the other hand, there is a new generation of voters. Their perspective, their ideology, their way of thinking, and their lifestyle are different from the older generation. The power of the chosen candidates who form the government is in the hands of the voters.
