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: “Fellow friends always complaint about our government, political parties, social problems and hiking criminal rate. Always they come to a conclusion: for the sake of our children, we want to migrate. 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.

Ok, Let’s Forget About the Engine, But…

We want to have the integrity and transparency back. We want to have somebody responsible.

It was a ‘good’ news (?) that the air force manage to locate the stolen 2 pieces of fighter jet engines.

Ok, now the discussion is whether and how to transfer the engines back?

Yet, that is not important at all because in accordance to our lovely PM Najib, the engines are too old and not at all worth to take back.

Fine. Then let’s don’t waste time on that.

So, considered case closed? And we have a happy ending now?

Not yet. So far no reasonable conclusion on how the hell the two pity jet engine been transferred out of the air force base. Who the hell have the contact and capability to sell them so far away out of the country.

Most importantly, it was indeed happening during the tenure of Najib as Minister of Defense. How come we don’t even have a clear explanation from him? Shouldn’t him be the one who have to at least take part of the responsibility?

Can we just leave it remains silence and soon forgotten? What else can be missing later?

Give and Take

You have visited 15Malaysia? If not, I want to recommend you to watch this one.

Of course, the rest of the short films are good too. But this is just so special not because it is the art of late Yasmin Ahmad, I find it so special because I learn to see it more in depth, after listening to Tian Chua in the sharing event of 1 Malaysia，15 Films.

At the end of the story, the most important lesson learnt is, why not we give in a bit if our friends come short of something, no matter what race they are? Of course, when things go too extreme, it become unacceptable. But if it is just a matter of 5 cent, why not just tolerant?
