Malaysian Logic… Does It Make Any Sense?
This is not about arguing anything. I had the same mentality as well. Our country is so bad, why not just move away?
Of course, I do not have any statistics how many Malaysians are keen to migrate. But we know from public news some time ago, there are currently hundreds of thousand Malaysians living overseas.
Ok, if you have a chance, I do encourage you to explore overseas opportunities. It should be a good life experience. Be it working, or studying. Open yourself to more possibilities.
Anyway, what I intended to discuss here, is the LOGIC we always apply.
I did not have this as my original idea. I read the news paper and came across the article like this. (Credit to SinChew JitPoh for this mind enlightening article).

For the benefit of friends that can’t read it. The brief idea of this article is: Always, when we talk about racism, corruption, and all kind of in-justice happening around us, we fell that we are victimized. We think that it is bad situation now, and it could be even worse in the future. Then we start to have an idea to leave the country. Agree or not, it is very common logic that we always apply in our life. For example, in the office, maybe there are some colleague with bad attitude that affect our work, then what we do is find new job and resign. When we go to government agencies, facing with bad counter servant, we choose to keep quiet and give way. Even worse, let say a husband having affair outside, most of the time the pity wife will leave along with the children. Similarly, for the country, when we see the people who is ruling and managing the country is bad, we are not stay and fight but choose to give up and migrate instead. Why is that so that we as majority have to leave because of a small group of people that spoil the whole country? Why instead of stay get rid of those bad elements, we choose to run away. Where can our ~27 million people run to? Isn’t it make better sense to chase those ruining the country away?”

Are we continue to stay calm and quiet to let our country getting worse? I do not want to convince you about supporting anybody or oppose anybody. Do what you think is right. What I want to emphasize here is only, when things are not right, try to correct it. Not trying to run away from it.
Hard to do, but it is not impossible to do.
