Eye pain lah

These days, reading the news has become an activity more and more difficult to carry out. Just today, I read of an MP accusing Dato Ambiga of going against the king. Because of Bersih 3.0?? Walao eh! Did Ambiga single-handedly organise the rally for free and fair elections? Our dear MP wants Ambiga to be hanged, what about the others who were responsible for Bersih 3.0 as well? And besides the organisers, the April 28 rally couldn't have taken place without its participants. Shouldn't the rakyat who were present be sentenced to the rope also?

Hang everybody lah!

Sigh, ever since Bersih 3.0 took place, it has been two sides making accusations about each other. Even the Bar Council and Dr. M have appeared to be on a little skirmish.

Some people started making burgers in front of a vegetarian's house. Sell them at the rallies mah! If I were a stall owner near the Dataran Merdeka, I'd be happily making money on the eve of April 28. You can see from the pictures that the place was already crowded with people on that Friday night. Business affected? Big losses? Excuses.


Need I go on?

Just focus on working towards clean elections, will all of you please?

When ignorance is a blessing

We live in a capitalistic world, where values of materialism is drilled into the members of our society regardless of age, gender and race.

We judge by appearance; I learned that stuff on the outside matters from the tender age of God-knows-when. We value prestige over character, more often than we wish we did. And more than often, prestige is highly associated with fortune.

We know to compare the stuff we use and the services we pay for.
Your neighbour wears Crocodile while you wear Bata, why should you be feeling ashamed at all? Think about it. If you rightfully earned the money to purchase your shoes just like your neighbour did, why should you be feeling inadequate when you walk down the streets together? Blame it all on Capitalism? Or the shallow human mind?

O! What a blessing it would be if one could be ignorant to branding.

Friday Food for Thought: Simple truth about crime

Whenever people criticise Malaysia because it is not safe, please give yourself a minute to respond rather than being so eager to agree. Let me ask you, where can you find a country with zero crime? If such a nation existed, let me tell you, it can only be because it had either no law or no presence of man.

Of course, I am aware that my country has its flaws. This cannot be an excuse for the relevant authorities to work less hard in fighting crime.

Aku faham, aku pun sedih; tetapi jangan lah mengutuk negeri sendiri semacam warga asing.
