Social Contract

When mentioning about the above-mentioned subject, most of the social scientists gonna describe it as a deal between the governor and the governed. The people have all the rights to replace the government that can't perform. This is the concept of social contract that is being known worldwide.

However, Malaysia is unique. We are always being that way I guess. We, Malaysians can do things that others unable to do. Social contract in Malaysia is an agreement between races. Between Malays and non-Malays. Last night, I read Chedet, he is concerned with the emergence of the 3rd school of thoughts on Malaysian Social Contract. This time I agree with him.

The 1st one, embraced by those who were being realistic.. there's no way for us to self-determine if we reject it. 2nd one, emerged due to development and globalization. It is due to the higher level of education and exposure toward democracy.

However, the 3rd one.. caused by the existence of certain group that resists to change and can't face the reality of change. Still entrapped by communal cocoon. Thus, these are the people that deserve ISA.....
