Apa Cerita? Any Stories?

What a joke we must have been to the world. At a time where we should focus on strengthening our economy to fight the global recession, we are drawn into individual’s power struggle that is affecting the nation.

The tussle for power evidently let to the foolishness of several leaders saying things that could lead to racial sentiments all in the cause for party victory. Media in desperation to gain more readership and circulation put petrol into the fire by carrying the story over and over again. Journalists should know their roles and responsibilities before typing away such sensitive stories excessively.

Why let one stupid leader foul mouth gets to us? I do admit that the slow action and lack of punishment clearly showed how weak our leadership is at the moment and by using ISA makes it even weaker.

Please don’t let ourselves being drawn into their childish fights. We are all Malaysians regardless of race or religion. We have lived harmoniously all these years except for that one black day in our history.

My son’s hero today is Lee Chong Wei. They don’t care if he’s Malay, Chinese or Indian. All they care is that he’s a Malaysian who has made our nation proud at the Olympic. As a motorsports fan, I was delighted for Karamjit Singh when he became APRC champion and when Alex Yoong clinched race victory in A1GP. We may not have the same race or religion but we have one thing in common, we are Malaysians.

Honestly, that is all the news that I wanted to read everyday, great achievements that would unites us as Malaysians.
