Being a Malaysian, i regret to say that today passed by just like any other day and i was the least bothered about this human rights day. What human rights day am i supposed to celebrate?
The country is governed in accordance to the principals of corruption, cronyism, nepotism and racism.
The government is never wrong. The politicians are always right. The only ones who are always wrong are the people.
I am not allowed to fight for my rights as a citizen.
I am not allowed to criticize the government's wrong doings.
I am not allowed to gather peacefully with my fellow citizens in protest of the government's wrong doings.
I am not allowed to hold a candle to show my unhappiness on matters related to the government .
I am not allowed to hold a mic or play the guitar or sing a song at peaceful gatherings to show my discontent with the government's wrong doings.
I am not allowed to ride a bicycle to show my dissatisfaction with the government's wrong doings
I am not allowed to pray for my fellow Malaysians who are unlawfully detained under draconian laws and for the betterment of my country.
Opportunities to proper jobs, proper education, scholarships, proper housing are allocated based on one's race.
The politicians are above the law.
The police are the lap dogs for the government and the vicious politicians.
The police are corrupted.
People mysteriously die while in police custody almost on a weekly basis.
The judiciary system is corrupted.
So, pray tell, what human rights day am i supposed to be celebrating?

The biggest gangsters in Malaysia are the police. You can find them in every vice activity possible. Police Raja Di Malaysia. How right.
Dr. Saravanan,
Your post moved me to tears.
Somehow, you are so far away and yet, you heard the cry of my heart.
I feel exactly the way you do but because of my encounter and how my fate hangs in the balance, I am unable to express the outrage I feel deep in my heart....I weep because of the uncertainty that has reduced me to what I am. My heart bleeds because of the intimidation and also indifference that many have of the current situation.
You have my deepest respect for having the gumption to make a stand on this.
Sadly, I had the courage to make a stand then and yet, now, I have a muzzled mouth and say things politely in my own blog masked behind words and those who can read in between the shades of meaning can grasp the true meaning of my message.
Thank you, thank you for speaking the truth without fear or favor, with no holds barred.
I salute you for you are a man of principles, courage and integrity.
God bless you and your family.
Dear Paula,
tear not of the past, fear not of the future. If you are going to submit to your fears, then you've just given them (the bullies) a walk over. As a god fearing person, you should instead submit to The Almighty and leave your worries to him.
I may not believe in god, but i do believe in the laws of nature itself. What goes around, must come around. So, just wait for it to come around. Remember, that that does not break you only makes you stronger, right?
What i've written represents the way a very large number of Malaysians feel. So, you're not alone in this one. People are watching and that's always not good news for the bullies.
Take care and have a pleasant weekend
cheers
