I’ve been pretty occupied lately with campus life. Plus blogging was too much of a procrastinating tool, but then again everything on the internet is. I have however been keeping up with news from home and it frustrates me to hear the same ol’ BS being repeated again and again. I don’t know why we let ourselves being governed by ridiculous politicians. Honestly, for all the “pride” we put into our country being so “modern”, “cultural” and “progressive”, we are clearly an embarrassment to the rest of the world. Not that anyone in the government noticed.
Just look at the way our government react to any dissent – blatant demonization. What kind of a democracy automatically makes an attempt to silence those who disagree? Aren’t different opinions vital for the government to always be on their toes? Aren’t they suppose to be represent all Malaysians or are they all too intoxicated with power that what they say is what we are suppose to want? I find it bemusing that they can discuss about “inappropriate” uniforms and radio station names when there are clearly more important issues to address.
Defeatists say the opposition is too weak to do anything. Well it might be true now, but not doing anything is simply immoral. We need to steer back to the right direction.
To everyone joining the rally which is bound to start within a few hours, I salute you.
