We can see the last election was the most emotionally driven ever.

I hope everybody would keep calm and carry on.

5 years is not too far away.

Even the king didn't comment much. What we as a common citizens have to say about this?

Really. We've done what we could. That deserves a big hand for.ourselves.

If only time can stop at that era.

Personally, I think that was the time people of Malaysia lived in harmony.

People, regardless from any descendant, would come together watch the movie, laugh and talk about it.

Talk about now - which was the last Malay language movie that all Malaysians last watch?

If you look at P.Ramlee's movie - its value is still relevant, the humour is still silly and funny.

You can feel that the people back then were really honest, straightforward and simple.

I hope someday, the day would come - that Malaysians would realise that, happiness means simple things.

It's not peer pressure, it's definitely not emotional - it can start by smiling in this hard time, just like how P Ramlee stayed positive in his movies.

Expect even more scare policies, sudden peace deal with Sulu sultanate, and worsen racism topics attempted by sabotagers.

But this time, the citizens of Malaysia are much matured, they have alternative source such as internet.

It's a game on.

Let's look at the big picture: the government who knows how to give cash to citizens is nothing.

Any country can do that.

The current government, which failed make good policies, and make them well run, is the root cause of this country's deterioration.

This is the reason why you hear noises against the government which failed to make good policy, that people can feel.
It is the policy

Personally I think religion shouldn't be part of the country policy, especially in the world nowadays, where pluralism is a norm.

First, many laws from the religion were created many many years ago - some of the elements might not be relevant to the society nowadays

Second, it's a nature that human will compare - if you apply law to a certain group, that others get different treatment, that's when the frictions started

What made the above two points worse is that, information flows easily nowadays, it's easy to compare with other people, other countries or even other religions

Just think of religion as a music genre: Would it make sense to play techno music in a classical music concert, and ask audience to accept it as it is?

No. The audience will leave, the audience will protest.

Therefore, in this country, it cannot be a wishy-washy hope that it is a secular state, as well as Islamic state.

Just my two cents - someone really need to make it clear.

It was midnight.

More 100 containers arrived at the port. The workers helped to unload the containers from the ship - they are all guarded by a team of armed forces

Lastly, the armed forces escorted the containers to a storage house nearby.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This is a true story that just happened. It was not drug smuggling that you see in the movie.

It was definitely not human trafficking.

It was just police forces helping to escort the rare earth ore to the Lynas plant.

If you want to read the full story, you can go here

Let's try to flashback a bit - in my experience, I didn't see police escorting the cash delivery/collection at the ATM machine.

I didn't see police forces guarding Poh Kong jewelers shops

I don't think police forces would guard raw material for gold from the port to the plants.

Safely to say, I don't think police forces would have ever escorted the raw material for the Nestle Milo that you and I drink everyday.

So why the double standard?

What about street crime and robbery that happens at ordinary citizen's house. which is their official duty?

Look, this happened while anti-Lynas coalition Himpunan Hijau is holding a 300km march from Kuantan to Kuala Lumpur.

This rare earth ore is definitely something that Malaysian citizens do not want.

In short, we are double-screwed:

1) The police forces were helping to escort some raw material containers, instead of protecting citizen's safety (which is already at disturbing state)
2) Our delegate (i.e. the government) spent our hard-earned tax money to deploy police forces for such unwanted escort, because we had mentioned many times to this very delegate that we DO NOT WANT RARE EARTH PLANT.

Or put it this way, we had just spent our (tax) money to screw ourselves.

It will definitely happen again, in another form.
