a comment leading to contemplation...

The Malaysian issue. Interesting no? Everyone has a thought. But very few seem to be able to argue intelligently. And stupid people annoy me. Anyways, to be able to comment fairly, you must be a Malaysian, must have lived a significant amount of time in your country, must have also seen some life outside your country, and must stop being so excitable and self righteous, not to mention undergone a frontal lobe lobotomy. Got that? Good.

Malaysia is screwed for a few reasons:

- Goverment sanctioned racism. It's true everywhere else in the world there is racism. But very few other countries officially sanction it. Saudi Arabia might be worse, by why compare yourself to them? If you hate the way they're doing things, I'd hardly think it logical to put yourself on the same level.

- Thinly veiled suppresion of religion. Touchy subject? Deal with it. Seperation of church and state. Or mosque and state. Or temple and state. Whatever. Religion is personal, and while the leaders may choose to incorporate several 'values' or their religion in their administration, if they have any intelligence whatsoever, they should never, never, never, state that we should govern using the principles of this this this religion. That's retarded. You do not add fire to a powder keg.

- Education. don't be so shallow as to looking only at universities. Even the primary and secondary schools are retarded. And it's basically a culmination of the deficiencies of the current government. While the official agenda is to remove segregation and racism and inculcate patriotism and what-have-you, the actual efforts, sanctioned no less, promote the reverse effect. And let's not even get into the quota system and what shit. The very fact that they have to seperate classes by religion for different classes like Moral/Civics/Whatever-Shit-They-Decide-To-Call-It-Next and Religious studies. And there's only one religious class. And also History. Haha. What a fuckingly amusing joke. If only it wasn't so blatantly propaganda.

- Expensive cars. This one I have a personal problem with. Why the hell are they shielding the local car makers? If their products suck, they should suffer for it. This is an exact mirror of the bumiputera issue. You don't really make a plant stronger by propping it up and fertilizing it IF it refuses to make any food of it's own, or grown it's own stalks. And this is exactly the problem. Our national car makers are spineless plants. And also the amusingly stupid AP issue. And besides, I want a CLK.

To be fair, we have to look at what's right:

- Food. this one, cannot argue. You can eat anything here. Cheap summore. If you want expensive oso got. Whichever. There's no food made that cannot be found here. Just try. Look up a dining directory. There is NOTHING that cannot be found here. It may be a bit more gross, but you can find everything edible here. And it explains our current health issues, at that.

- Corruption. I won't say this is a bad thing, although it's not really acceptable. Sometimes, it's necessary. Besides, the courts are already so inefficient, adding to their workload is not helping the social system any. Just make sure that the bigger cases don't escape. If they do, what will we have left for our gossip columns? Oh, and they should make the government more sue-able. That way we can get back our tax monies that they're wasting on colourful lighting and ugly random architecture.

- The people. Sure. There are some fuck-tards out there. And stupid people. But it's my sincere belief that stupid and moronic people should not be allowed to reproduce. But then again, there are also nice people. And Malaysians, although we're a greedy, self centered, and hypocrticial society, we're smart enough to put on a thick enough veneer of niceness to make life pleasant here. And besides, since it's an open secret, no real problem right? It's a lot harder when you're not sure who's really nice and who's pretending.

And everything else, screw that. If you don't like it, make it better or find a new game to play. And since I'm probably never going to vote in this country anyway, I don't really give a damn about the politics. That makes for pretty comfortable living. Got thoughts? Got an argument? Got milk? Bring it on. Meh.

Jin out.
