Lights

My wife and i had trip down to Geylang yesterday night coz the young daughter wants to hunt down some cloth to make her baju kurung,as we drove there i can't help thinking to myself when we saw the lights illuminating the night at Geylang Serai that what are we as a society???.Are we just a bunch of people easily pacified by this yearly lights that represents the holy month of Ramadan or are we more than that as a society???.It saddens me to think that we are that easy, this is evident when conversations of admiration and accolades were centered on the lights on the streets.

Are we just that?? Lights??? Are our rights as the natives of this land that we call 'home' addressed at the highest level??? What happen to our national language Malay??? is it replaced by Mandarin or some other dialect??? Where are the promises made before we separated from Malaysia to our Malay grassroots leaders???..

Now it seems that we are the problem child in our own country,with us topping the table of having the highest drug addicts,having topped also the highest divorce rates,having also the highest sexual problems in our youths,and lets not forget we topping the table with having the most dysfunctional families.All this is due to our small population compared to the other races and whatever wrongs that we do will have a glaring effect on the 'tables',so what it boils down to is us.

The question here again is what are we???,are we going to be mild-mannered,self-loathing,self-pacified with the scraps thrown to us from the master or are we going to refuse and resist and have this relentless pursue for greatness and are we willing to sacrifice everything and anything to the course,in the wake of this is just collateral damage.I guess I'm alone in this as i have put forward this idea of revolution to some of 'us' and all i get is blank stares and glazed stares,in their minds I'm a nutcase,ungrateful and a terrorist.I'm not all the above but someone who is not delusional by the propaganda campaigns put forth.

So what are we??? Who are we??? are we willing....
