I have lots of thoughts and rants about Merdeka and Malaysia… but I don’t really know how to express it. Perhaps I should just be thankful that I am living in an independent country thanks to the effort of our former government leaders 50+ years ago.
Happy 50th Merdeka anniversary.
as a malaysian chinese…when i was 12, i have strong and patriotic feeling about malaysia’s merdeka. Since today is my 37th birthday…i like to make a wish that my great grand father would have went somewhere else (not indonesia too)
I am 28, I don’t like our government, I don’t like about a lot of things in Malaysia, but the fact that I am still staying here means that there are still something good about Malaysia.
Don’t give up just yet.
’still something good’? for? lets see…food, friends, relatives…and…what?? lets compare to other developing southeast asia countries (except indo) as chinese, you will see is better in every way.
Happy birthday, I should have wish you yesterday.
Are you still staying in Malaysia btw? I have been to some places that I am absolutely in love with… but I am born in Malaysia, that is a strong reason for me to stay here. Friends, relative, food, living standard, peaceful… I do think that we are not that bad.
haha, yes you should have wish yesterday, you are LATE!
I am stayin abroad and of course i am a malaysian. To know other places you need to at least stay for 3 year. Ahh..living standard…peaceful…, most chinese are quite comfortable with their lifes…i know. Then what are complaining about? LOL
Everyone is striving for better, or at least try to keep things as there are. Frankly, I was much happier as a Malaysian 10 years ago compared to now. It’s not about me growing up… lots of other Malaysians are probably feeling the same way.
Malaysia is moving backwards in some issues in recent years… our economy is not moving, corruption worsen, crime rate rising, continuous biased policies etc.
As you said, we need to stay in a place for 3 years to know it well; it take courages for people to move to somewhere else, especially for those that has never live abroad for a decent period (for studies etc).
