Love your country

We should love our country. We can cherish in Malaysia without any fear being bombarded by outsiders. Put aside any issue circulating our mind because the target for us Malaysian is the better Malaysia. We can live in harmony. Peace can be among us.

So much for being an idealist, hurm?

Yet, reality has given us its invoice. We as Malaysian should pay it whether we like it or not. But what should we pay? What kind of payment should be done? How much do we have to pay? In fact, pay for what?

Racism has been the current issue among Malaysians. Certain political figures blatantly raise voice about racism and pointing fingers to other people for not being equal to other races. The question is what kind of equality he/she wants? IMO, we already have our rights in this country.

Citizens in Malaysia are in the state of confuse. Further issue of racism, who are being racist, should be stopped. This kind of argument will only end up like chicken and egg, which one comes first. If not stopped, it might result to a clash between races.

Love our country means loves the people of the country. Understanding between every each of the races in Malaysia should be the benchmark for discussing sensitive matters, mostly on cultures and religions.

Respect the constituencies, follow the 5 pillars of Malaysia, learn the history of Malaysia and we should see Malaysia will go further as a better country.

War IS a Crime

Dr Mahathir Mohamad: The Criminalisation of War

War, as we know, is devastating, horror, killed millions of humans and brought down many civilisations throughout history.

Dr Mahathir, our former number One, are making a call to us Malaysian to support the campaign against war and the criminalisation of war.

I would like to quote from his blog:
"I pointed out that it is ridiculous to regard murder as a crime punishable with the most extreme penalty yet the deliberate killings of thousands of people, mostly innocent men, women and children are regarded as proper and legal.".
For me, war crimes should be punished to whom that invading other territories and killing the innocents. War is a crime for Dr. Mahathir and I have a simple formula to conclude what Dr. Mahathir wants us to agree and struggle to achieve it:

Crime / Criminal = Subjected to trial and execution in law.
War = Crime / Criminal
And,
War =
Subjected to trial and execution in law.

Lets support "War is a Crime".

Malaysian, be alert!

I'm shocked. Another victim of drug syndicate, a disabled woman, are now being held in Pakistan jail. Reports in Utusan Online said she has been fooled by the new tactics applied by the syndicate by using SMS to the victim said she was the winner of a travelling package to Singapore. Instead, she has been brought to Pakistan and the local authority there nailed her after "trying" to smuggle drugs out from Pakistan to Malaysia.

I thought that the previous cases where two Malay girls being trapped by the drug syndicate will be a milestone for Malaysia to be more alert. But instead of fooling the woman by using "boyfriend" like the previous cases, the drug syndicate were using a simple old tactics used by money burglar to get credits from mobile phone users, the SMS!

Woow, woo...easy there. I'm not blaming either the victim or her husband that cause the event to be happen. Both of them are having a hard time right now, and I'm praying that this time she can escape any kind of execution from Pakistan's jail. But things happened, people. In other "dirty" words, sh!t happened. But my point is, we should be wary of anything that we didn't see with our eyes wide open. Think first before taking any action or stop being happy for anything we got or received without any reason.

As a Malaysian who fight drugs and its syndicate, we should remind each other to be wary of this syndicate and not falling into any kind of traps deployed by them. And pray this kind of cases will not happened upon us.
