Malaysia... whats happening to you?
You were once the envy of others. Your successful transformation from an agricultural to a manufacturing based economy after independence were lauded by others. You were once regarded as a model of economic development not only amongst the Islamic nations but also among the developing world.
We go all out in promoting Malaysia as a nation that is multiracial and culturally diverse and Malaysia has always been cited and called upon to share our experience in developing a multi-racial, multi-religious and multi-cultural societies. But now it pains me, a citizen of your beloved country, to see whats becoming of Malaysia these days. Every single issue is being racially politicized and used to gain political mileage. While others are moving forward, we are now sliding southward. There is no single discussion, be it economy, security and others, that does not carry a racially political slant or sentiment to it these days. Not contented with dividing the nation along racial lines, religious sentiment is being trampled nowadays.
No one seems interested at addressing the issues holistically and see to the continuous existence of harmony among our society.
Where has all the talk about tolerance - be it religious or culture - gone? Will we be able to continue to celebrate our National day without any animosity in the future.
Happy 53rd Independence Day and May Malaysians continue to enjoy prosperity and peace in the future.....
