Of Monty Hall and Politics

Shiang Jin's post inspired me to just humbly comment on the political hurly-burly over at Malaysia. I know little, but this is just my personal opinion.

In reply to Shiang Jin's open-ended question,

I personally think the usual rule of the game does not apply in this case. The host consists of the entire Malaysia, and a bunch of ******** ministers, and considering the host's behaviour, we have to take into consideration the vos Savant scenario. So ultimately, none will prevail as 'true' leaders.

Only if the host was certain on which door the car laid behind, would switching double chances of improved leadership, no? :D hehe..(psst! Too sensitive to speak explicitly)

Even if we were successful in obtaining the car, its efficiency will slowly but surely diminish and at the end of the day, the car would be no different from the goat. The car would even be more lethal than the goat considering its deceiving appearance. It's with this 'appearance' that the abuse of power takes place.

Nobody can withstand the temptation of power. Even a leader of utmost integrity would succumb to the devious influence of power and wealth.

You know what I think? Just exile all politicians :P That's obviously a severely biased comment. Hehe

A very important question to make you ponder:
Lotus Mooncake with yolk or without. Which is better???
And don't go saying, "It depends on indivdual preferences," cause you know it ain't true...

well, then it depends on one's health then, some ppl cant take yolk
*hehe, a random comment, so not political, huhu*

Well that's true... in terms of health than it's quite obvious that yolk is just B-A-D...
But taste-wise??? Yolk tends to bring a more saltier flavor whereas a plain lotus version is sweet 100%... but shouldn't mooncakes be sweet... I mean c'mon... it has 'cake' in its name...
Ok... nevermind... I'll move on...

ah, you guys sure missing the beauty of the metaphor....

the point is, you have to assumed(or hope) one of them is the car, if there is no car, we are just fooling around and prepare to fall...

another point, please believe the god will act as host who know where the car is, bcoz god is almighty for all the religion ppl, isnt it? :)

u guys miss another point, there is still 1/3 chance that the one choosen is the true leader...means....zzzzz....

sher, i think you should replace the word will in sentence "efficiency will slowly but surely diminish " to maybe, as we both know that there ARE politicians that not corrupted when they gained power. The difference is the more total the power is, the higher chance politician become politikus.

So, time to reform our political system to control the power arise by combination of executive power and legislative power as for now , isnt it?
