While I was on the way to my apartment on Sunday afternoon, I still see the 'jalur gemilang' being displayed by those so-called patriotic motorists. What the fark?! Do they get paid for this?






The independence day or locally known as 'merdeka' day was on the 31st of August. There were parades and all those stuff that you can think of for an event in conjunction with your nation's independence day. But that's not what I'm gonna talk about.

Actually, I don't feel like writing a long story for this at all. Call me ignorant, but I STILL don't feel the urge inside me to put those flags up on my car after all these years looking at other drivers and motorists putting them up. It's not that I hate the design of the flag or the colour of it. I just don't get it. Why would you even feel happy and proud to run around the country with the flag when, obviously remarks of racism and incidents of discrimination can still be observed through newspapers and the daily life interactions among the citizens?

Instead of showing the love for the country on just that particular day, why not make it every day by improving the appaling standard of the public services like transportation, education and casinos infrastructure? The government are willing to fork out a lot of ca$h on the celebration day but at the same time spent foolishly on the so-called beautification projects. In case you don't get it, the beautification project involves building "artistic" monuments in certain spots around the country. Yea, to boost tourism and attract more tourists. Those decorations will attract them alright, and make the tourists LAUGH OUT LOUD.

Enough said, this country where I'm hiding living has just turned 48. So not too much cussing for now ^_^
