To those who call themselves Malaysian

It is obscene to say that this country is not developing. However, one must remember that development, or effective development to be more precise, does not happen in a day or two neither in fifty-two years time. We will need a lot of shared pain and tears to achieve this (with all due respect: shared). Hence, as one of the entities that propagate this rather small piece of land, please do not ask for any development if you think that you have not shed any tears or spilled any precious blood of yours (I mean on this land). It is generally assume and it is most rightful to presume that everyone bears the responsibility to bring up this land together - Put aside the differences that we have. And just for the record - Is there such thing as ‘differences’ when one is actually striving for ‘equality’? Enlighten me, please.

Despite all the on-going issues (evolving faster than we thought it would), it is feasible to say that we are, currently, still able to feast upon the best ribs in the world – even though one hates it. That’s the truth. Eat it. Even so, try asking a guy on the street “Sir, do you think our country is peaceful?”…“Dunno”. So, to think of it, if you can’t really tell between what makes a peaceful country and an un-peaceful one – Kill yourself (not that I’m encouraging suicide activities but, yah. Beat it).

Talk about integration and the current government’s policy on national unity: Practice them. And don’t just keep ‘em on papers. Sad to say, in this country, everything has to be visible. One must ensure that his or her effort is never ever implicit. It has to be plicit. Not for any recognition or awards or anything, but just to tell others that Yes, I did my work.

And I would like to share what Napoleon once said which is (to me) undeniably true, “If you want a thing done well, do it yourself”.
