In a very brief statement, let me make a confession: I love Malaysia. It's really such a wonderful country with wonderful scenaries (looking forward to Redang in May) and more lovely people (gosh, C*** Yee's sooooooooo pleasant to the eye!). My home country is really the next best thing to erm... heaven(?), or more down-to-earthly, France.
However (haha, you just knew it, rite?) the FACTS suggest the contrary. Look at Bukit Cahaya (interpreted as the 'shiny hill' and it's really shiny now without the hills) or the dirty toilets or the awfully, corrupted officers- Malaysia, truly Asia?
And today, the issue of RESULTS is once again highlighted. Why people who deserve something don't get what they deserve? Why do people weep for that 0.01 aggregate that they missed for the STPM*? ANd most importantly, Malaysia's education system sucks to the deepest sense because it's really about getting perfect scores, and not the knowledge. Have we missed the big picture? Didn't anyone tell them that wisdom, honesty and maturity are much more important in the real world? Forget about the FAIRNESS, but are we even there yet in terms of transparency and freedom of choice?
Well, I'm too tired to go on but the conclusion from today's blog entry is this: We want to be perfect but we can't because we chose not to be from the start (see Genesis 3). Therefore, let us just look to the future (and to God, the perfect One) with hope that in our imperfection, good can be produced.
p/s: Sorry my dear country, you're still great despite the people in you who screwed big time.
*STPM- Public examination in Malaysia equivalent to the A-levels.
