New Visitors To My Blog

Today I am very happy indeed. A few friends had visited my blog and I wish them WELCOME. My blog is actually not new, just that I have not been updating it due to my busy schedule. Besides I never told anyone about my blog and hence there wasn't a need to write much. However, now that I have readers, I shall try to update my blog as often as I can.

To start with, it is indeed a sad and trying time for all Malaysian as we see the recent demonstration or march that happened in KL. The sad part is that our Government is so determined to prevent such show of expression by the masses. However, it is also exciting because for once, people are voicing their unhappiness publicly about our judicial system, electoral system and being so called discriminated upon. I believe this is true democracy in the making. I guess only time will tell when the Government will listen to the cries of the people.

In many other countries worldwide, people are allowed to have street protest and strikes to demand for certain changes or rights to be recognized. Perhaps one day Malaysia will acknowledge that their people also have the rights to do the same. But this cannot be so unless the Government changes some of the laws such as ISA Act and Sedition Act. However, I only hope that such activities will be done peacefully and without violence. Let the people have the freedom of speech and rights to protest so that our nation will be seen as one which is willing to embrace criticism so that we can improve our nation's shortcomings. Let us also not forget that this nation's success was built by all races major or minor. We all contributed in making Malaysia what it is today.

I leave it to the rest of my readers to comment on what I have said. I might be wrong or being too negative but I am only voicing what is in my mind. Till my nest posting, I wish everyone a good weekend.
