I had spent my early school days in Chinese school. I myself is a Chinese too, and generally we Chinese believe education is the only way to archive a better living, especially in a country which politically restrict the development of our education system. We have given all our efforts to funding of our Chinese schools for this reason.

Instead of investing in various loopholes in various areas, we only concentrate our efforts on education matters. We believe that it will benefit us the most in a long-term context.

We even have a Chinese saying:

再穷,也穷不了教育。
(No matter how poor, we cannot sacrifice education.)

Fortunately to say, I am being raised up in a tradition family which holds strong to this believe.



It is pretty disapointed to know that our country is not running in a civil manner. Why I said so? Let's read this news from The Star newspaper.

Excerpt from The Star Online:

    3,800 mat rempit to join Umno, says Putera chief

    PETALING JAYA: Putera Umno claims it has roped in 3,800 mat rempit under 25 years of age to sign up as Umno members.

    Movement chief Datuk Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim said these young street racers were among 10,000 in the Klang Valley who were courted by the wing.

    Nationwide, the movement had wooed between 30,000 and 40,000 mat rempit, he told reporters at a gotong royong to spruce up a Muslim cemetery at Bukit Tandang here yesterday.

    “We will collect their particulars and absorb them as members. So far, 3,800 have filled up forms to join Umno,” he said.

Yeah, you bet it. These people are so talented, why waste their capabilities? They can rempit so fast, even law enforcer also no fear one! Waliew so brave!

Ask them to join UMNO Youth larhh~

We sama-sama rempit the country~


Let’s ride the country!

Alright, let’s step back to reality.

This is a questionable issue: If you break the law, instead of going to jail, we forgive you and open a path for you to join politic parties and lead your people. What do you think?

If you are smart enough to think again, you would realize why the law breakers are given such privilege. Why not we give privilege to speeders, or drunken drivers?

Why I still get a saman for parking at the yellow line?!?! Why am I not forgiven and recruited to the MCA?

The focus slowly cuts down to a single reason: because most (in fact is all) of them are made of one special blood. The so-called the owner of this land based on Ketuanan Melayu concept, which ridiculously denies the rights of citizenship of others race other than their own;

The malays.

Needless for me to say, the action of the major ruling party is clearly printed on their forehead. They are hunting for votes for the upcoming election. In our country, malay is the largest race in number, that’s why all this racist policies like NEP (new economic policies), Ketuanan Melayu and including this incredulous ‘Mat Rempit is recruited’ issue is raised. To please the malays larhh~ of course.

But did they take in account the damage it will be done to the nation? You can recruit a mamak; you could even recruit a begger; NOT a criminal okay?



They don’t even know the proper way to ride a bike!!

This country would be a great country if there is no division of races. With its richness of natural resources, Malaysia should be one among the most developed nation in Asia. Singapore wouldn’t even stand a chance.

Bitter to say, all those money lost to corrupted politicians, unprofitable projects, pro-malay policies, sooner or later we will be wiped off from the face of the earth in this globalization era.

Instead of preparing ourselves to be competitive, we are drowning ourselves over unsettled racist issues which will only valid before 80-an.

Points made, finger pointed, but I still can’t foresee any future for my country. This is what saddens me as Malaysian.

It feels like being tangled in unrequited love.

I love you but you don’t love me.

In my world it seems our government thinks it has to be a bigger bully than anyone out there. Alot of us dont feel that way what ever happened to just talking things out I dont forsee any future for anyones country at the rate our world is going. Why cant we just learn from our differences instead of trying to mold them into Americans. We need to get rid of the cowboy we have in charge and change our bully tactics.

brenda,

Exactly. However, despite everything that the government done to attract majority votes from its people, I have to say that Malaysian government has done a pretty good job in maintaining unity of different ethnic in our country.

Pro-Malay policies exist ever since a ethnic riot happened on long time ago. Personally I am happy that it quells the riot and distribute wealth to the needed one.

But problem happens when a great policy is abused by a bunch of moron politician, as a tool of gaining popularity and wealth themself by implementing unprofitable projects that will only causes harm to the county.

I strictly believe that Pro-malay policies exist as a privilege to our malay friends, not as a right.

Nice to have you here.

Regards.
