chaos in malaysia?

you know, i'm but a student... i'm in japan now, and people here who don't know much of our country say 'sugoi' or great, that our country is filled with so many races... i may not understand much about this and that about politics and all, but, why are we all so stupid? sometimes the azan prayers does wake me up in the morning earlier than i expected, but so? sometimes the bell of hindu temples wake up those sleeping as well... it's not a matter of the noise, it's like more of a matter of what time you slept...i don't remember a single time when it ever bothered us... so many of us nowadays are becoming corrupted by so many different things, greed for money, lust for fame, jealousy for pride... is it so hard to understand that everybody on the outside is waiting for our country to collapse so they can laugh at us? i don't understand why some people always take the easy way out of things, i always feel like when i pass through a new challenge i learn something new, and i hope one day i can use what i learned to better myself, my family and my country...

i don't expect any of the foreigners 'invading' our country to even try to better it... i'm an indian, and i have chinese and malay friends but not a single indian friend, where else can this be real if not for my country malaysia... i don't understand the things happening in our country at all, it looks as though everyone is trying to undo all that we have worked for these 51 years... i really don't see why our politicians are fighting over so trivial things when there are still children going without food and begging on the streets... i feel disgusted that so many of us nowadays point fingers at each others faults but cover up our own using the name of race and religion. one uncle of mine when questioned about his religion answered 'my religion is not important for as long as i do good, Shiva, Allah, Jesus and all the other Gods will grant me good fate' and i hold that words very close to my heart. what good is it to say that you of this religion if you sin everyday? realize that nobody but us can help our country move forward... i write here for i feel that our country has hit a wall that halts our progress forward. since i was small, i used to dream when we sang 'Wawasan 2020' during our school assembly in a chinese school mind you, that our country had cool and crazy building scattered every where and we would all be using flying cars like in those western movies. are we really going to be able to reach our goals if we can't even join hands? when asked what nationality i am, i have never failed to answer malaysian, because i am proud to be one. yet when i was in malaysia, the answer were always like 'aku melayu', 'aku cina', 'aku india'... i don't see why people still can't understand that we don't hail from 3 countries, we are only one and all those people who still use those answers should learn the fact we are called Malaysians!!! no chinese from china or indian from india resemble indians and chinese from malaysia other than in looks.

i do understand that earning more money nowadays is important, but is it more important than your country and your own pride? i feel that in recent years, more and more of our younger generation has come to realize the walls that keep us separated are called hypocrisy. the older generation to me looks like it's trying it's best to strengthen these walls, why, i shall not say, because they seem more like my hypothesizes than truth. for me, it looks like it's time to break these walls, hold our hands together and walk towards our future hand in hand... Malaysians, i tell you this now as a 20 old year Government scholarship recipient studying in Japan and as a Malaysian, everybody is waiting for us to trip and fall face first into the dirt, i don't want it to happen and i'll do my best and study and bring home my knowledge to help my country when i am done here, but will you all do your part so there is still a Malaysia for me to come back to?
