Parliament is the appropriate forum for discussions and not mass or social media platforms. – BERNAMAPICsimplest non-jurisprudential definition of democracy is the “rule of the majority”, which means that in a democracy, the expressed will of the majority overrules the minority view.
As society, art and philosophy progressed, our understanding of democracy evolved into the modern form of representative government, particularly circa the 17th century, in France and the US. We must rationally discuss whatever shortcomings that hinder our nation’s progress. We have experienced some weak points but we have progressed admirably for a nation having a diverse population as Malaysia.
Our hard-earned climb towards a civilised developed society will regress if this happens. Our concept of democracy should have the aim of legislating norms, which are acceptable to the majority of society. Maturity and cognisance of the fundamental basis behind our Federal Constitution’s articles are prerequisites to any such discussions.
Departures from block voting solely according to the party line is the next step to be taken in our journey towards a true and compassionate democracy.
