Just got back from Barakath (a mamak shop near my house). Had few drinks with my bro. While I was drinking, I observed that Malaysian people (I don’t want to say any race because I don’t want to be labeled as a “racist”) are rude to the staff of the mamak shop, especially towards the waiters. I don’t think that this sight only happen at mamak shops or side street stalls. I personally think that this kind of rudeness towards people working a low class job is happening all across our beloved nation. Why do we do this? Is it because they work to ‘serve’ us? Or is it because, you people think that you don’t work serving people, you have the right to discriminate? I used to be one of those people who think this way, but, I grown mature and realized that these people also have feelings and dignity, so, I started treating them better, treating them like how I would like to be treated, like a human being.

I always TRY to stick by a quote by someone I forgotten their name ;p. The saying goes like, “Treat People Like How You Want To Be Treated”. I always bear in my mind that quote, it’s because that every single word of it is TRUE. If people treat you like a piece of crap, would you treat them like a human being? I won’t, cause I know, it shouldn’t be that way. You should consider other people’s feelings before you talk to them. Treat them with respect, love and honesty.

I urge you Malaysian people, change. Change the way that we live now. Show future generations and the world that we, Malaysians, have a beautiful way of speaking in everyday life. Show them that we are rich in culture and respect.

After a few months of inactivity, i finally came to my senses and i told myself,"I want to start blogging again.". So, here i am now! ;p Well. I still blog elsewhere even though i haven't updated my blogger blog (woah). So, i dont have any idea to post right now, i'm going to post what i posted before on my myspace blog.

Hiya people!

The election or Pilihan Raya Umum Ke-12 heat is on!! The election is just around the corner people! Tension is heating up between rival parties as they start to put up more and more posters and pass out flyer's of their candidate. Somehow,all this posters,flyers and such makes Malaysia more in the mood of celebration. I dont know why but it seems all this commotion makes me feel like we're actually celebrating something.LOL. Not only these people
are showing their support for candidates on the streets but also online. This also shows that Malaysians are well educated(well,some bloggers tend to show otherwise) and IT-savvy people.We, as Malaysians do have the right
to free speech,but some bloggers take it a step further.But, i wont get into that,cause, they can do whatever they want on their blog.

Well,before i go any further, i want to clarify the fact that i'm not supporting any parties that is involved in this election (since i'm not qualified to vote yet!). I'm just expressing my opinion.Some of the manifesto that these parties are promising to the Malaysian voters(and people) are just plain unacceptable.I'm not saying about the Parti Nasional,but i'm saying about the Alternative Party. What they are promising to the people of Malaysia is somehow unacceptable to my mind. There are a few reason why i say that it's unacceptable. First,how can they lower the price of petroleum?? Don't they know that most of our petroleum are imported?? How is that possible? Are they going to give more subsidy towards petroleum? Next,they want to cut taxes. Wow, lower the price of petroleum and cut taxes, wouldn't that be delightful? But think, if you cut taxes,and pay more subsidy towards petroleum, how would Malaysia make money out of it's people and save it for future use(for this country)?? So, are they going to use the money in the Malaysian reserve and use it all if they win the election? What if Malaysia face another economy predicament in the future? Wouldn't we have to take out a loan from the World Bank and forever be depressed? Think about it for a second. These are just a few of their 'promises' that i've came across and thought of completely.

Yeah, i know,maybe some of you people think that i only criticize one party. Well, i really dont have any complains with the Parti Nasional's manifesto,since what they promise to the residents of Malaysia is acceptable and relevant.They want to maintain what they have done through all these years so that we can achieve freedom and more success. They dont make promises that they could not keep. Maybe not all of this is true but still,think about it.

So, think. Before you put your vote into the ballet box, think rationally about what your vote will do to our beloved Malaysia. Would you rather pick the party that just make unacceptable promises or a party that has shown their ability in
maintaining,organizing and flourishes this beautiful country of ours? It's up to you people of Malaysia. Think wisely before you vote!
