Another Few Malaysia Bolehs!

We have progressed so much the last decade so much so we are achievers of all sorts of records. Here are a few which I personally think is worth mentioning...

Security of our homes and families has improved so much, we now in true Malaysian Boleh! spirit install alarm systems in our homes to safeguard our family and belongings.

Quality of our traffic flow and roads has improved so much, we now in true Malaysia Boleh! spirit pay toll charges at every major motorway and still get stuck in congestions.

TNB Boleh! too! 4-5 black outs in my area last two weeks. Call them 24H they shout! The phone ring and rang but no one is in to pick up the call.

Water supply to our homes have improved so much since privatisation, we now in true Malaysia Boleh! spirit install every conceivable type of water filters in our homes. Every home in my area has at least two, one after the meter and one in the kitchen.

Malaysian identity has become reality at last! we now in true Malaysia Boleh! spirit of fear? refrain from discussing any issue or policies because it is really sensitive and might stir unpleasant reactions... We can't sit down and exchange views and opinions in a civil manner. The one big culture melting pot is really a few different smaller ones.

Education system is now world class standard, in true Malaysia Boleh! spirit we churn out loads of graduates who can't even communicate with the rest of the world. Oh! we also in the spirit of Malaysia Boleh! send loads of talented youths to be educated out of the country and then never coming back.

Our Malaysia Boleh! is convincing... I think Malaysia Boleh! I believe Malaysia Boleh! It is just that I am wondering BILA? When exactly can we? could we? would we? Bila kita bersama boleh mewujudkan satu bangsa Malaysia yang cintakan negara? We have no one to blame, the blame isn't on the government, the system or the establishment. We were the ones who issued the blank cheque. In fact I think apportioning blame is futile in our quest for a better place under the sun. We need to look within, at ourselves, our priorities, our values, I need to change, I need renewal in my life, I need to repent.... I am pretty frustrated with this one thing, We tolerate when we should not while at times when we should tolerate, we don't! Confusing? I am pretty confused.... I think I need a break from all this.
