Merdeka

Merdeka, Merdeka, Merdeka....

Why am I not a bit excited? Why am I not happy? 52 years and still the same...

Nothing new, nothing improved except more buildings, more roads, more cars, more tolls, more traffic jams, more thefts...

...sigh, when can we see some changes for the better?

1Malaysia? But I see that we are more divided now than before, aren't we? Because now we are not supposed to sell beer in a Malay-majority area, not supposed to have Hindu temples in Muslim-majority area, maybe the same goes to Chinese temples and churches, at least not within a 5Km radius? Those non-muslims who stay in muslim-majority area will have to walk 5-6 Km to their temple to pray, if there's one! So are they not suggesting that all Muslims should stay in one area, Buddhists another area, Hindus another and Christians another?

So called 1Malaysia? I wonder if these people know what they are doing, in the name of their holy religion? And yes, we have to be sensitive to their feelings, needs and religion. Ours? Does not matter!

1Malaysia! Malaysia Boleh! Happy Merdeka.

    I tot so too, Malaysia is a beautiful, harmonious multi-racial country. I'm not so sure now.

    Maybe it still is but don't know for how long more. Our faith and tolerance are being tested now! God Bless! (if he's around?)
