The Emperor & The Knight..

Once upon a time, there was a powerful empire (BN) that served the kingdom with fairness & equality. The land was rules by the emperor that care much for the people (rakyat). The people love him and his kingdom.

After serving the rakyat for so many years (22 years to be exact), the emperor thought it was time to name his successor. Many of his generals & advisors did not want him to give up his post but he insisted.

He named the successor.

Now came the new emperor, he used to be a very wise. Rules the kingdom like the previous emperor did. He uses to go from town to town to check upon people’s conditions & complaints. After sometimes, he begins to neglect his duty.

The emperor let his son-in-law to be in charge on most of the important things. Even his generals & advisors that followed him for so many years were worried & do not understand. The enemies started to gather the story about the emperor & his son in law.

The news spread that the new emperor didn’t care much about the rakyat. The new emperor only cared about his family & people that close him. The new emperor only care about getting more gold & silver from the people. The people were getting tired and sad due to the high taxes (oil & tolls) that the people had to pay.

The new emperor has changed it stripe. Now the people hate the new emperor. Now the empire becomes feared by the people because it was rule by the new emperor’s son in law. And this is a story about an empire that we built by a great emperor and then collapsed due to another emperor.

Now, we are living in the era of cyber space. An old wise emperor who steps down long time ago asked the new emperor to conduct a post mortem. A post mortem that the people have already has the answer; except for the old wise emperor that saw half of his empire that he has built came crumbling down.

But it was a clear view that the people were sad oppressed by the corrupted generals & advisors. The people have suffered long enough. The people had voice out but the new emperor does not care. The new emperor ordered his generals to put these men into the dungeon to keep their mouth shut.

The people were sad by the depression that cause by the new emperor & his men. The people seek help elsewhere but were rejected due to the cover up within the kingdom. The emperor has been sleeping while his generals & advisors taking the opportunities to get more gold & silver from the rakyat.

The generals & advisors were making the people suffers; by putting a high taxes (oil & tolls) on the villagers. The people have no way to go. The people have no where to ask for help One day, a knight appeared which once the old emperor has banished. He came to help the people.

The people do not really know what this knight true attention is but the people knew that he is a savior. This knight can really talk and capture people’s heart. This knight said we need to reform in order to wake up the new emperor. This knight has once been in and out of the palace.

This knight knew what was going on and he is going to reveal the truth. This knight has offended the emperor before and he did not die. They have put this knight into the dungeon of death (ISA); tortured him and left him to die. This knight waited patiently like a tiger waited for his prey.

The new dawn is about to come, the knight searched and looked for the crack in the emperor’s wall. This knight has found out that his chance has come; it is time to show the people the truth & justice.
