My Understanding of the Contract between the Rakyat and their Wakil...

I want my voted "Wakil" to serve the Rakyat and not the other way! 

Why should we elect our "Wakil" and be fearful of them? Respect them, YES i.e.only after they proved themselves worthy of our respect!

Why should we allow our "Wakil" to misuse our hard earned tax/zakat money to enrich a few? 

When a person offers him/herself as candidate in an election, there is an offer. So when the Rakyat votes a candidate, they accept his/her offer to serve. 

I am not a lawyer but I think, technically, there is a contract by the voted candidate to serve the Rakyat that voted him/her in. If those voted candidates fail to perform their promise, they are in breach with the contract of duty to the rakyat.

What happens then? Do we go to court and sue those who fail to fulfil their promise to serve us? Or do we, in the meantime, bite our tongue and wait till the next election to boot them out?

What do you think?
