Let me be clear. Suggesting that I tend to "play it safe" or make "safe comments" regarding your political views is entirely inaccurate. I identify as a layperson and consider myself business-oriented.
I hold equal respect for the Federal Government appointed by HRM The King KDYMM SPB Yang DiPertuan Agong and the State Government appointed by Malay Rulers - DYMM Raja-Raja Melayu - as well as for elected Members of Parliament or State representatives chosen by the people.
Even if some individuals in these positions may not align with my preferences, I adhere to established protocols, noticing little distinction among various states or Federal Territories in my interactions with the government. I typically follow the same circulars and directives. Moreover, I am discerning about when to step back, recognizing instances of political interference, which can come not only from politicians but also from friends and relatives. It's crucial to note that I am not easily swayed by rumors; I prioritize conducting my own fact-checking.
While I do not align with any specific political party, this does not imply ignorance of the events occurring around me. I am not one to blindly support the masses; rather, I form my opinions, at times independently and occasionally in line with the majority, as long as the decision makes logical sense to me.
I approach criticism of both Federal and State Governments in a diplomatic manner. My critiques are constructive, never aimed at embarrassing or humiliating them. Most importantly, my criticisms are accompanied by suggestions, whether or not they are accepted or rejected for any given reason.
