It is frustrating. As I reflect on the many exchanges that took place in the web sphere about who got here first and who did not, I am overwhelmed by this send of frustration - why don't they get it??? What's wrong with you guys??? What good is a piece of land if it is not productive? Give me a piece of barren rock and I shall make something out of it. Even the Israelis could tame the desert and produce bountiful harvest that is exported throughout the world (including Malaysia, mind you). The wealth of a country is based not only on natural resources but also the creative energy of its people. Don't people understand that the wealth of this country is a product of her people?
I am speechless. I am sorry. Truly speechless. I shall mourn for this country that is full of prodigals who are not grateful at all for having fellow countrymen who diligently create value and wealth everyday.

Melamine in Milk, Malaysian Style
There used to be a time in this country of ours when teachers taught and pupils (yes, that was the preferred term then) learnt. The outcome of such an environment was a society where academic qualifications were trusted and the bearers respected. It was fair dinkum full cream milk to you, mate.
Many decades have passed, without dragging you through the sorry tales of low expectations, racial bias and pure incompetency, we ended up with people with titles such as doctor, professor, etc. who would inflict more damage to society than they would uncloaked. They are much like milk that is adulterated with melamine. It kills. It kills slowly. It kills like murder because those people who bring upon us the calamity know what they are doing. But in the name of anything other than what is holy before God (Allah for a great many amongst them), they continue to do what they do best in the hope that only some on the ship will sink. But then, like what I said before, they are incompetent and even in their most brilliant moments, it is not good enough to save their own.
Sad. But then, only Malaysia Boleh.
