the moment you see this you'll know where im blogging from -.-' this marks the start of my sept hols, as well as others', of couse, highlighted by the horrigible fact of promos looming ahead. so NEAR.
im finally home. home, as it is, feels familiar, and nostalgic. this is the place where i belong, no matter how far i go, no matter how long i've been away. and finally, you've got to go home, like what michael buble sang in his song "home".
and it was when i was finally home, that i was bombarded with warnings and advices on personal safety. things such as 'dont use your hp outside' 'dont carry bags around, put all ur valuables in your pocket' etc etc...
being in singapore for nearly three years have pampered me into a chick who take personal safety for granted. just how many people carry totes around in singapore! and then, i've been told to forgo this long-cultivated habitual act of mine :( hurr....
but then, it spurs some thinking going on. why is the society progressing backwards instead of being on par with the economy status? our PM has been working so hard in promoting our country's reputation, to market malaysia to the global economy, so as to stay competitive and play along with superpowers and rising stars such as china and india. but how so when there is lack of security and more of moral disintegration? how do we achieve the great ambition of our PM when the society, particularly the young teens, engage in such despicable acts of challenging the police force and bring about worries and tensions among people?
it was in the news that once, a singaporean tour guide bringing tourists into malaysia, told the tourists while they were on the bus, crossing the causeway and approaching the custom, to pay special attention to their valuables and safety, for they were going into malaysia. this sparked off discontentment among the fellow malaysians, and many pointed fingers at the tour guide. when i was told the news, i admit i wasnt happy at what the tour guide said. BUT, is it not the truth he said?
think about it. look at the society now.
if what he said portrayed malaysia as a nest full of thieves and robbers and murderers and gangsters, the newspaper seems to justify what he said everyday. malaysians, please reflect on this. if you dont want bad comments, make sure you give good impressions.
it is disheartening to see the number of teens involved in such despicable acts. the numbers are rising as a rocket would during its launch. which leaves others to think, where has the education gone to? years of schooling and character development seems to be wasted on these people. and if these people are the future of our country, then our dear country is gonna crash.
these are the people we have with us today. if people are not going to do anything to solve the problem rather than putting it up on newspaper and scare the public further, racial harmony IS going to disintegrate. i've already seen a little of discrimination going on. people, remember the may 13 incident? please, we learn history for a reason. so that it would not repeat itself.
but how so when the society is progressing backwards?
