Now. At this very moment, i am procrastinating... Procrastinating...the completion of my MUET essay.

It sucks, because i have absolutely NO idea (nor do i give a penny's worth) on how to 'elaborate' about the ''Good points of Malaysia being a multicultured society'' and how we're all suppossed to feel eternally blessed and should rejoice every nanosecond we spend irking out an existence as 'malaysians' in a land where the 'bumiputera' themselves 'coincidentally 'originate from ANOTHER country.. *cough* (PULAU JAWA!!) *cough*.

Please...

Oppression. Racism. Cronism. Corruption.

Lack of transparency,
and just
plain stupidity...

The complete list would be enough to wrap the earth around its axis TWICE and have enough leftover for Saturn.

Its beyond evident that our country is run by a government hell-bent on defending the rights of its own race though those rights were never questioned or threatened by others in the first place..

Then again, this explains just how useless the ministers representing the other minority of races are. They are the 'yes-men'. Why? Because they are simply to chicken- s**t to refuse the wants of the powers that be. (the ppl who can sack them) For eg:-

In the parliament far, far away.......(K.L oni la..)


------------------------------------------

Datuk Menteri Bigshot: Today,we will be initiating a new ACT!!

Datuk Chinese/Indian Minister: Yes sir!!

Datuk Menteri Bigshot: NASI LEMAK ARE TO BE CONSUMED ONLY
BY MUSLIMS!!

Datuk Chinese/ Indian Minister: Yes sir!!

Datuk Menteri Bigshot:
CHINESE WILL NO LONGER CONSUME PORK !!!
MEANING NO MORE CHAR SIEW PAU OR SIEW MAI!!

Datuk Chinese/Indian Minister: Yes sir!!

Datuk Menteri Bigshot: ANWAR IS FREE TO SODOMISE WHOMSOEVER HE WISHES!! INCLUDING YOU AND ME!!

Datuk Chinese/ Indian Minister: YESSSSIR!!!

=========================
Something around those lines...
If im not wrong...
=========================




Anyway. Back to the topic.

Its ridiculous, because even though i can completely fathom the sense of 'semangat kesukuan', to place the needs of ones race above all others, i still feel like,
'Hey, if this is how you're going to do it, you could at least stop the 'we-should-live-harmoniously-together-as-malysians-so-lets-hold-hands-and-dance-the-macarena' bullshit and just come clean on how racist you truly are.

Transparency, people. Or just plain frankness.

The base of any credible government. Yet something we are eons away from achieving.

Its sad.

But then again, its a fact.




But cheer up. We're having a by-election. ANWAR's running .

If he wins, he'll form a whole new government. Whole new policies.
He's promising transparency, unity and peace among all races.
He's also promising a government FOR the people BY the people,
and RM2/litre for petrol!!! (it doesnt get any better than that..)

But then again, im not sure whether to laugh or cry if that happens.

After all, this de facto leader's history is coated in faeces and the cherries on top of that pile are the latest conspiracy theories.
Ones that suggest the current government fears his influence/power and are trying their very (pathetic) best to kick him out of the show before they in turn receive the boot up their a**es.


But who cares?

We are completely powerless in the midst of all this.

Not that WE cared, anyway.

Honestly.

Talking politics just makes us students appear more educated and up to date with the latest issues.


It gives us and others the illusion that we can actually fathom the workings of politics and politicians alike.

Lets face it.

We have enough share of pie on our minds.

What with all our responsibilities at home and at school..?

Like, for example, THE UNFINISHED MUET H/W I HAVE THAT iS NOW ROTTING AWAY. UNATTENDED. INCOMPLETE. IMPOVERISHED.

Sigh.

For a second there, i actually felt like a competent, able individual.

Delusions. They dont last long.

And in here, they last as long as the posts do.

Later..
