So, I have been home for almost 6 months. I was overjoy at first because seriously, I missed my family and also my homeland a lot. I know it might not be the best country in this whole universe, but since I grew up here, I thought this is a land where I can call 'Home'.
When I was away, I missed my hometown miserably- I missed the food, I missed the people, I missed the language, I missed the sense of belongingness.
After struggling for a while, I am able to get a proper job. Even though I am really far away from my family right now but still, I am doing something that I enjoy doing and earning decent money. There is nothing much to complain about.
However, after completely returning to my original identity, I am really not happy. I am not sure if this is somewhere I belong to anymore.
Recently, I am really disgusted by the chaotic situation here.
So, there were this group of youngsters who behaved like those uncivilized jungle men from Amazon river, yelling at one respectable leader who was on wheelchair, surrounded him and put him into totally helpless situation, used bad languages on him and then pulling people who were trying to help this leader to get into his way.
For some reasons, the BUNCH of guards or securities people were too WEAK to stop anything, allowing a man with dignity to get humiliated.
Then, some extremely 'brilliant' elder leaders stood up and defend the younger group, saying that they did nothing wrong and will never apologise even though their action were caught on video, uploaded online and viewed by millions worldwide.
Some extrememly barbaric behaviours like 'threatening' through certain object were being repeated for times.
A female leader's naked photos were exposed to the public by her previous boyfriend from a different race. The boyfriend haven't got caught yet and actually to be honest, he will NEVER get caught. Some clever people pointed their fingers at the victim, urging her to resign.
One reputable local newspaper decided to highlight the naked photo issue at the front page, thinking that it was a 'scoop' that was going to rule.
There were people who keep playing racial cards, and then keep accusing innocent decent folks creating chaos among races.
A man who was accused of stealing car were suspected to be abused to death when being detained.
There was violence involved at certain demonstrations, but nothing being covered by mainstream media.
There were loads of raping, killing, robbing cases, nobody really care to take any action. Victims were condemned for being not careful.
Those who shouldn't be jailed were jailed, whereas those who ought to be locked were eating lobsters in fancy restaurants.
People who should lead are fighting over power among themselves, forgetting about why they were being selected in the first place.
It is really easy to 'buy' a particular person. She will imitate a frog, jumping here and there after being paid a certain amount of money.
A local talent who was admired world wide were criticized and attacked for thousands times after being forced to apologise for creating a certain song.
Millions of talents are working for foreign countries that appreciate them because we don't care about the ability of employees here.
I used to be proud for who I am, as I thought we were a unique nation in certain ways.
Nonetheless, I won't 'day-dream' anymore. It's been 52 years, not 2 years. Nothing has been improved and nothing is going to. So far, from what I have seen, we are walking backward, heading back to the cannibalism era.
We are eating each other raw, shredding each other piece by piece.
Completely hopeless.
Let's move away...

我在想着“住在馬來西亞的10個理由”,第一個:沒有天災。。
接下來還在想。。。
哦!没有天灾是对啦, 但是人祸却很多。我并没有资格去评社会与政治但是近几个月所看到听到的只叫我感到恶心。身为平民百姓的我真的感到彻底绝望,不禁自问我爱国家,可是国家爱我吗?朋友,不用再想了,不可能在找到任何一个住在这里的好理由了,唉!
"One reputable local newspaper"? Hah!
Think it would be easier to come up with ten reasons why one chooses not to stay in Malaysia. In fact, think it would be more than ten...
Chloe,
Oh! hmm, it was a reputable one, i thought so, I used to like it what. but then.. now, jeezee... luckily they didnt take me in, else I will be looking at jobs again now coz i probably will resign over that issue.
