Indians have made history on the 25.11.07. How about the Chinese? What means will the Chinese use to show support to the change for a better and fairer governance system? Is there going to be one in the first place, one may wonder? Will they keep silent like a backstage operator, as ever before, or are they more concern to take this opportunity to sell more raincoats, umbrellas and towels?
Personally, I think the idea of my fellow brothers and sisters, including those of our forefathers that "Business comes first; and with the grip of business, then come others" is no longer sustainable in the long run. In a multiracial society like Malaysia, there ought to be a balance and we ought to take a bigger interest in politics. Without our greater presence in politics, we will be deprived of a fair and good education for our children. Without the same, our survival, business and all other things will be tougher to come by.
This is the country where our forefathers came and grown their roots. This is the same country where we (at least most of us, i think) will cover ourselves with its earth when we die or the place where we spread our ashes after cremated. We definitely want to have a share of voice. not just a share, a significant and effective share of voice in this country of what is best for us now as well as for our children in the future; growing along side with the other communities that made up Malaysia. Please remeber, we are living on the future of our children. We are shaping the future.
Do you think our current share of voice is loud, significant and effective enough? No, I dont think so.
It is sad to hear some said that if things got worse, then move to another country. It is like solving a problem not stemmed from its roots. In fact, such ideology is selfish and irresponsible.
Needless to say, if we do not want to be treated like a second class citizen or immigrant race, we should not behave as one, but participate.
We need all the unity to make a country a better place for everyone, regardless of race and religion. We should fight to get rid off the bad apples or the bad apples will infected even the good ones and the whole apple tree will eventually die.
兄弟姐妹们, please stand up!

Hmmm....Who should we turn to?
It has been a long time since I read any Malaysia's mainstream newspapers. I just became so sick, sad and tired about how they speak for the Ruling parties and totally ignorant on what matters to Malaysia and Malaysians.
Instead, these media just serve the interest of the few corrupted, selfish politicians. The media are being "puppetted" to help these twisted beings to convey their biased, racist propaganda; making belief that their opinion represents the national interest, which is of course far from the truth.
Through these newspapers, the "high people" of the ruling parties always play the good guys. On the other hand, the opposition is always being labelled as the ultimate evil who try to destabilise this "peaceful" society. (Note: I have to admit that some politicians of the opposition parties in Malaysia are bollocks too)
Via the media, the idiotic ones to become elites, monkeys become supreme beings and the pillars of corruption can transformed into altar of the sacred temples. In short, as long as you are connected and get down dirty and play along with these "high people", the guilty can become the innocent as a newborn baby and the devils can be prophesied to be Saints and to be worshiped upon.
Fortunately, there are alternative sources of news. With these alternative channels, I am able to see Malaysia in a different light. With these alternative inputs, I know my country better, I understand my fellow Muslims and Islam better and I generally able to understand this complex society better. I am able to receive, share views, discuss and debate healthily with people of different background, race and faith; in rational and civilised ways with fellow Malaysian citizens who feel and care about the well being of this country, its society and its people.
It is scary indeed to see how Malaysia, a once proud and prominent developing nation is regressing by the day now. How imaginable and terrible is the extreme thought that Malaysia will one day, fails to be reinvented under the current governance and ultimately lead to death of a nation.
How pity to see how deprived are the general public to realities and how are they blinded by the politicians with deceit and lies. These folks knew so little about their country, their government and the countrymen they've voted to be represent to be their voices. So little did they know that these countrymen who are supposed to protect their interest are actually the ones who rob their interests in the broad daylight.
How little they know that the noble "country" plans, which were devised to eradicate poverty amongst the poorer folks and to narrow the wealth gap between ethnic group; was actually now a money spinner and an evil political vehicle for the "high people" to sustain their own family's (as well as cronies') wealth and power. Driven by greed, these "high people" seem never regret and ashamed of telling lies, despite their portrayal of such (fake) nobility in the media and holiness in their religion. Worst, they are blaming other ethnic group for marginalising their folks' rights for the 9th time since the country achieved independence. Little did the folks aware that the money and the wealth actually went, and continuously going to the very FEW designated brothers and sisters of their own kind. And year after year, these brothers and sisters of theirs will ask for more but only to and for themselves and little spare to the folks.

Well, enough is enough...Malaysian should exercise their very rights to vote in this coming general election and vote wisely. Malaysia needs an overhaul.
I am sure fellow Malaysian do not want to see their country run by mobsters, with "high peoples" heading the gangs like king pins. The voices of Malaysians need to be heard, the people need be empowered again for the goodness of this nation , for now and for the future. Do not let bloody irresponsible individuals sealed the fate and lead the nation to oblivion.
Enough of disappointment from the "gahmen" that is made up of greed, incompetence and dictators. Enough of shamefulness from the "gahmen" rampant with corruption, injustice and ruled by the tactics of fear, threats, extremism and inequality.
The harmonious society of Malaysia is in urgent need to be restored from this dividing society by color and faith; to be rescued from this society of losing tolerance, becoming more ignorant and progressively Taliban-like .
