Malaysia and her vicious cycle.

Malaysia, a country so beautiful. Well-known for traffic jams, KL twin towers, good food, night life, tourist spots, beautiful people and..

CORRUPTION.

Bam!! I said it. Yup. Corrupt, narcissistic politicians who are demi-Hitlers if I may say?? Or wannabe Karl Marxes?? 

Malaysia is so renown now for all the flak our leaders have drawn for us. Leaders who care more about lining their pockets than caring about the welfare of the people. Leaders who blindside people, contorting the beautiful religion of Islam along the way, just to draw followers into their thick juicy webs of lies. Utterly shameful.

Leaders like Mahathir who actually is beginning to resemble Hosni Mubarak; leaders like our very own dear prime minister who fancies himself a (cream pie) winner on "Who wants to be a millionaire??". 

With police like ours who care more about arresting an innocent Malay woman who was defamed on the Internet just because of her love for dogs. Just in the last week, so many shootings have been taking place and Malaysia is not a gun-encouraging country so THAT is rather boggling. But really, those cases are not as important as Maznah's case. Just because she loves dogs and her video was sorely misinterpreted by religious zealots and "pious" people. 

Malaysia is just getting more and more warped with all these juicy fancy twists and turns in the plots. We have Anwar on one side accused of so many crimes, Najib on the other side who COMMITS them but gets away, with all the whistle-blowers being tracked down one by one. (Olivier Metzner anyone??)

We suffer severe brain drains and our years of built, muscular, multicultural relationships are becoming sour although the recent 1Malaysia campaign has been ongoing. I personally think Mahathir's 2020 vision for Malaysia was a better ambitious target. Although he wrote about the "Malay Dilemma" when it was convenient, and now, the "Chinese Dilemma" in a very convenient time too. Words like "Chinese Tsunami", "pariahs" and "immigrants" can be thrown around fairly well and just blaspheme the name of Najib the "Almighty" and get your suicide row the next day. Any justice in our systems??

Aristotle would be turning in his grave. Over and over again. Moderation in actions, desires and emotions. What our leaders sorely lack. 
Moderation.

We are turning into a country of extremists. Extreme sides everywhere. The spectrum is beginning to fray. No longer existing in a long thread but discarded in shards, where only the extreme pieces aren't blown away. Rhetoric, by the way.

It is all a vicious cycle. Just discard the dead wood and you'll see.

You'll see the vicious cycle, just you wait.

The kaleidoscope will be broken and you will see through all their misdemeanors. My close friend Mohammed Elnaiem told me that whatever is happening in Malaysia is whatever happened in the past. This is the way the Brits wanted us to turn out. The British when they colonized Malaysia used the 'divide and conquer' tactic to separate us all. And they succeeded. 

Malaysia. Her vicious cycle prevails.

Sadly.

Malaysia for the people!! Satu Rakyat, satu negara.
