Another military aircraft crashes...
Another military aircraft crashed in Malaysia. An almost wild rage rouse within me.
“another one! Every year one or two case, and a few soldier died! What the government doing over there?! Tax payer money is no money?! ”
Recently I read and explore into current issue in Malaysia, be it politics, economics, or, the most concerned one, the education. The more I read, the more disheartened I am. I think I finally can appreciate the frustration my frens shared few years ago. Few years ago, I still yet to be critical toward government. If start to be critical about the government, Malaysian government stand no chance of getting 1 point.
Quote from magazine: “In Malaysia, as in many South-East Asian countries, the Chinese minority traditionally controlled the large share of the economy, while Malays and Indian take less influence. In 1969, resentment at this situation helped to fuel a convulsive bout of race riots. The government of the day (also led by UMNO) settled on affirmative action as a means to defuse racial tensions. Most jobs in the bureaucracy were reserved for Malays, as were the majority of government contracts. Quotas were set for university admissions, allowing Malays to win places ahead of better qualified Chinese and Indians. Companies were supposed to place at least 30% of their shares in Malay hands. Developers were required to sell a certain proportion of housing and commercial property to Malays, often at a discount—and so on and on.”
Magazine comments on this on-going phenomena in Malaysia as such, “The world's most notorious system of positive discrimination has had only limited success and hardly any recently.”
Time to change a government? Not likely, or, no people want to risk the ‘apparent peace and growth’. The ruling party (especially UMNO lead Malays) likes to remind the citizen of 13 May 1969 incident to instill fear among the minority ethics group. The message behind is “if you dare to change government, no one will guarantee the M group will do any funny thing to destroy everything we have now.”
This is very effective mean. Most people would like to settle at what seem to be good, and don’t like to risk for best. Can we have faith in such area? I am sure we can. Who will go before us for our future good? Me? Can I? Can a businessmen so successful to influence the government? Can the M group change their attitude toward national matter? Can the police force don't disgrace the name of Malaysian anymore? Can the officer quit the 'bribe-addict'? Can chinese stop all those illegal transaction? Can chinese stop to give bride to governing officer for commercial interest? Can Malaysia achieve low-corruption (I don't hope for ZERO corruption)?
Can all the angry Malaysian change the political climate in Malaysia? Malaysian can hope for a better government?
I am keeping my fingers cross…

In this diplomatic fraternity, I would prefer to avoid... many things are not easily grasped hold of by us. The entire picture or stratagem is not revealed through what we perceived. We only have a concise comprehension of what is going on. Yet in depth, you wouldn't know how many politicians or even civilians and how much analysis/plots/plannings/conclusions that ensue many domino effects could be secreted.
Scores of people fitting into others because of fear/advantages/uncertainties, forgetting their own visions/goals/self. One reason leads to another and so forth, incessantly.
Ultimately, who are the ones that suffer? The inhabitants. I'm already tired of looking at these issues...
May peace be with the world. That's the best I can ask for.
