As a Malaysia, I really hope that my country could do better. Tonight, as I was going to the Elevated Highway, I saw a marvelous sight. The Petronas Twin Towers and the Kuala Lumpur Tower lighted like a glorious buildings they are and surrounded by countless of other buildings. It was breath-taking to see my Malaysia become so modern. But somehow, the goal to be a Fully developed country is undertaking.
One of the main problem is racism. Not up-scale racism, but just being prejudice. My father told me that everyone in Malaysia is not Purely Chinese, Purely Malay, or Purely Indian. Even those precious sultans. I'm sure that their ancestors might have intermarried of some sort. I even learned that Japanese are a mixture of Malayan and Chinese, back in the old days, so no one is pure anything. So, idiotic people might not be so happy to hear they are not Pure this or Pure that.
Just so you know, I'm a Malay but I have a Chinese background as well and I'm Damn Proud of It.
Another thing I'm proud of is my religion, but sometimes the Malaysian Muslims may have taken it too far. From not letting Beyonce perform to censoring the word "beer" in her song If I Was a Boy, PAS has really ticked me off. Additionally, the I'm Holier Than Thou people, the so-called preachers, the infuriating "Holy People" just plain tick me off. How can I just sit there, listening to them saying OTT things about my religion. Sometimes, I wish Malaysia would adopt the Muslim sect that Turkey or other Eastern European countries practice rather than the EXTREME Malaysian Islam. Oh well, I guess each to his own.
Back in my primary school, I generally hang with my best friends, who is in fact Chinese, but did the Malays of my school take it kindly. NOPE. Actually, I was put under pressure for not being a PURE Malay. In the end, I had to side with the Malays since I was under peer-pressure, but I really owe my thanks to Kimberly, who I'm still friends with since then. For the Malay gang, I have lost ALL contact with them, So much for sticking through, eh?
But really, I have no idea how ONE MALAYSIA will fly if these things aren't fixed. Somehow, the rush is on for PM Najib, but can he do it? If he paid more attention to the public rather than his VAIN wife, I guess that Malaysia could very well be the modern country that it is. Remember what ex-PM Mahathir wants, a modern Malaysia by 2020. We are in 2010, halfway there.
Though we have wasted tax-payer's money on out-riders and sending a guy to space, I think it's time for the government to start giving back. PM Najib, you have to surpass PM Mahathir (but I don't think anyone can). Bring in more tourism, set back the crime rate, make the roads safer, make children walk freely without being kidnapped, and many more shouts from the public.
But if you don't, then all this ONE MALAYSIA can never be achieved. We voted for you to come to office, we look at your ever-changing wife, we suffered through enough, we need to MAJU, we need to Modernize, we need Support.
I know ranting out my plea by Blog is pretty useless, but if you could hear me, please, please, I'm just a teenager trying to find something to be proud of in Malaysia.
Another thing, make the country more appealing to the youth. I know for certain that if the youth is excited, so will the modernization of Malaysia be achieved.
Thank you for your time...
Love,
