My Funny Malaysia #1

Getting a little bored in office, trying to settle my resignation but bosses do not want to accept. Is there such a thing as not accepting a resignation? Hmmm....I am just tiny potato, no worth keeping in any organization....wooohoooo!!!

But come back to the topic, recently Malaysia is going to create a few funny stories. Well at least I felt funny and laughed non-stop reading the newspaper.

#1 Malaysian is top student in Cambridge.

Yay!! What a good news!! It is seldom a Malaysian is able to come out top in one of the oldest universities on earth, and from a law faculty too. YAY!!! But wait a minute, the boy is going to graduate from UK and start his practice in Singapore Legal System? And he is given an ASEAN scholarship by Singapore Government? Now this is worth laughing isn't it? Ironic! In Malaysia, we have JPA la, Petronas la, ASEAN la etc...

Countries like China, Japan and now Korea are sending out their citizens to foreign countries to study, give them the best they can, and make sure they return home to service the country with no limitation and with job opportunities. In Malaysia, so many scholars go abroad, 90% do not want to come back. Why?

No yay!!

#2 Ugly side turns up in Malaysia politics

I remembered I once had a discussion with my friend about the Opposition and Government. Issues like corruption, mal-practice etc came up. And thats during the 2008 election. He got it right saying that Opposition will grab a few states, and I totally agreed with him, especially on Penang. But during that time, I also mentioned about the ugly side of the so-called reformation parties in Opposition.

To simplify the story, when men got power, that is when you will see the real side of men.

Human is a very weak creature. When we don't have power to do anything, we will do anything to get help and attention to survive. But when we come into power, come devil who lure us with promises of money, high position, free cars and houses etc. At that time, how many people will have the will to fight on and say NO to temptations?

It is going to be an interesting election. Galas and Batu Sapi will give an outlook on the possible outcome of the next General Election.

In the end, who is the angel who is the devil? Can we, the normal citizen, who fight everyday to survive in the challenging economy and work life, have the eye to see through these agendas? I need another spectacles to do that.

But what I know, we, the normal citizen, regardless of races and religions, hope to have a stable yet progressing country, so that we have a chance to earn a living in a peaceful way, and see new developments that can bring our country to the top.

But so far, after the 2008 elections, either parties have yet to perform. And that's teh report card.
