CNY went just like that........

I went home for CNY for 3 weeks. The first day I landed all the negative thoughts came in to my mind. 1) hot and humid weather 2) traffic jam 3)security in public 4) stray cats and dogs everywhere. Few days in Malaysia when we were talking abt the situation in Malaysia my friend wallet got stolen, Anwar had to go back to court again for sodomy, PR application is getting stricter in Australia and Singapore.

But one thing I appreciate most about Malaysia is my family and the culture we had. No doubt countries like Australia and Singapore is better because it gives us more money and sense of security. Everything including transport, healthcare, education and others are much better than Malaysia. But one thing which these countries don't have and that we have is our culture. Every festive season in Malaysia is very lively. We keep in touch with one another every festive season and celebrate it regardless of religion or race. Probably Singapore and other Asian country practices this but obviously i don't see any of this is Australia.

When the kids grow up they are given the freedom to do whatever they want and most of them lose their culture. I definately don't want my kids to forget the culture we practiced over the years and century.

Most of us only complain MAlaysia is this and that but have we ever stop and think what can we do to improve the country? IS the answer to the solution migration? we're leaving a country which has provided for us through out our lives. Despite issues and problem we are definately blessed in some ways. IF only Malaysians could stop and think what can be done we can definately do something great for our country. Getting experience overseas is a good idea but make sure we know where we originate and we should go back to where we come from.

MALAYSIA
