How can you not love Malaysia?

On this extremely sleepy morning (woke up at 6, I had to), my dad threw me the paper and said "Oh, B. B. was killed. At last, they got her." NOTE: Hereby me and my father hold no grudge against any particular political party in that country at all, Pakistan, if you hadn't knew.

"Okay now tell me, who the heck is this 'Baby'?" (I thought).

"Who is she anyway???"
"She's one of the most influential party leaders in Pakistan. Her husband was assassinated years ago and she was repelled out of the country since then. She made a come-back not long ago and a suicide attack was launched too but she left unharmed. And now, they finally got her."

(Like I care. No I didn't show any disrespect both to my dad and the dead itself, I mean, as you all know I have not touched politics for long. Yes, for long.)

As usual, my discussion with dad wouldn't lead us any farther than those few simple sentences. Captivated by the news and the casualties themselves (don't tell me "20" is not much, casualty can NEVER be too few), I started to think...

We've got corruption.
We've got mild racism. (solely personal opinion, no offense please)
We've got government inefficiency. (see the sentence above)
We've got mild demonstration just not long ago, call it a mild case of riot if you would.
We've got people who was willing to spend several millions to send a coconut (oh, what do you call our "head" in Malay again?) into the space when the people weren't even readied to solve alarming issues such as poverty and flood. (see that word in my heart, did you see that "F" arising?)

No, I'm not pointing the finger to anybody. It's just that, I'm actually glad.

I'm glad, for that we do not have any civil war (I doubt this will last long, please, no more eff-fing useless demonstration please! Those guys won't hear you damn it!) or hostility with any country at all.

I'm serious, I'm really glad. To think that we are indirectly allowing corruption to root in the very foundation of our ruling of the people; to think that only 2 out of 10 Malaysians out there who dare (or "care") to dig out that old 513 thingy and started talking his grandmother story to how certain race was treated MANY years ago; to think that we've got a government, which can't actually be labelled as "not doing anything at all", just that "they will start working after 1,000 complains have been made", pardon me I mean 100,000; to think that those police forces of us would have to play water-shooting once in a while to psyche themselves up (and perhaps the Malays and Indians too); to think that we can finally shoot our flag up high into the sky, and finally proudly declared "we've finally leaped into a new era", just to "show that we are capable of doing this" to other countries or in fact "we are rich enough to do this, you cared?" I-don't-eff'fing-know. To think all of that, though most of us (or perhaps only me) might have discontent regarding every single little "effort" that our government trying to strive, at least no casualty was caused.

Yeah, no casualty was caused. I like that.

Yeah I mean, I can stand Malaysia, for now, more than Pakistan, more than China, more than Korea, don't you think?



Yeah, don't you think?
