Musings For The Mind

Take a stroll around the streets of KL these days and you'll know notice something quite peculiar. They're much more colourful. Why? Because there seems to be an abundance of flags strung up about in various places. Close your eyes and walk around for about 15 metres, you're bound to run into one these strategically placed party insignias.

So each flag is armed with their different agendas and 'manifestos' if you will. Naturally humans are different, and disagreements are all part and parcel of life. But what's unacceptable is when you hold a different opinion to your so called 'rivals,' and go overboard in terms of your support.

It's a sad scenario when you see people from all quarters publically resorting to personal attacks, and it always seems to be a case of who can dig up the most dirt on their opponents. Why can't we keep things on a rational and intellectual level? Is this the kind of message we'd like to send to future generations? The principle that if you're contesting anything, it's acceptable to do absolutely everything to win?

Yes, winning is important. But let's not indulge in any soul-blackening smear campaigns because in the end everyone's human, and we definitely wouldn’t want anyone airing our dirty laundry in public. I truly believe we’re all intelligent and reasonable enough to take a much more dignified route, without resorting to ‘dirty tactics’ when we pursue any of our goals.

Last I checked, among the hallmarks of a Malaysian citizen were; gentle, polite, gracious and patient.  Let’s keep it that way.

The activist is not the man who says the river is dirty. The activist is the man who cleans up the river.

LIFE UPDATE

Hi korang, how are you? Im doing fine.. as long as I'm home, I'm fine hehe. Sekarang aku sudah pon kembali ke UiTM dan kini bergelar final year master studeent. Ohoi aku sudah menjadi senior tahu. Sila berikan tunduk hormat jikalau terserempak dimana-mana. Ohohoho 

Bagi yang bertanya bagaimana pelajaran aku, terima kasih sebab ambil berat pasal study aku. Sweet angat! Alhamdulillah, setakat ini aku pass semua exam..tak pernah resit/repeat lagi. Dont ask me how I do it, I just dont know how i survived that haha! Tapi exam cumalah sebahagian ujian kecil dalam kehidupan, masih banyak lagi ujian yang maha hebat menanti aku di kemudian hari. Setiap hari rasa palpitation, adakah aku mampu untuk mengharungi liku-liku kehidupan ini dengan tenang? Inshaallah, selagi aku usaha, berkat doa ibu bapa dan percaya dengan rezeki Allah, I have nothing to worry :)

Oh ya, cuti 2 minggu ini aku penuhi dengan aktiviti-aktiviti yang menarik. Selain melancong ke USS Singapore, aku penuhi juga dengan siap kan ABR aku yang dah ke laut tu. Banyak le pulak yang nak kena buat..aku ni macam blur blur lagi. Apapon, goodluck buat semua classmate aku EMBA B. Semoga kita sama-sama berjaya menjadi manusia yang berguna dan dapat grad ngan cemerlang. Manfaatkan masa yang ada!
