Wow! What an honour, to be writing the 100th post on this blog!
Well, I guess that's simply because I am the only one left blogging here...never mind, I will keep blogging and keep hoping that one day, someone else will blog something too.
This time, I would like to write a little bit about one of the dearest things to my heart - Malaysia. I was on YouTube yesterday. Nothing better to watch, I keyed in 'Malaysia'. A lot of rubbish came up but also something very interesting - DAP's speeches from 2008 and 2009. The speaker was someone named Nga Kor Ming (倪可敏). His speech was so powerful and humorous, I spend almost two hours listening to him.
Since I have been away for so long (almost 14 years), I don't know how much of what he was saying was the truth, but his speech made me very sad, and also angry. If what he said was the truth, then Malaysia has become a very 'disfunctional' nation. The government is corrupted from the very top. And no one has the power to do anything. According to DAP, the 'rakyat' has the power to 'throw' the government out of the office...I really doubt that this will happen.
Ever since Malaysia gained its independence in 1957, its 'rakyat' has been divided into 2 classes - First class (Bumiputra), and Second class, the rest of us! I don't know if there are any other countries on earth that still have a class system. Even Indonesia has abolished this system (according to Mr.Nga). So, that puts Malaysia BEHIND Indonesia. What a joke! (No offence to Indonesia.)
I was treated as first class the moment I put my feet on British soil. After gaining my PR, I enjoyed even more benefits. I sometimes suspect that I enjoy more benefits than the ordinary British people!
There will be a big election soon in Malaysia. I hope every 'rakyat' will put in an effort to vote for a 'change'. Any change will do. If there is a CHANGE in power, there is a CHANCE. If DAP were to win the election and move into office, then there is a 'CHANCE'. I can't promise that the 'change' will be a good thing (DAP might be more corrupted, who knows!) but it will definitely bring a glimmer of hope...
Good Luck Malaysians!
