The Challenge: Mahathir Mohammad

I just finished read this book, today. After, i borrowed it for nearly a semester, finally its over. And i was very impressed with the way our previous PM thoughts on many aspects and how he laid all the causes, effects, consequences while take consideration on many aspects. It was a good book, and now i will get started to read 'Malay Dilemma' after my final exam eventually.
Nway, just to share this, I quoted from that book, on the chapter, Corruption;
"If a student gets a scholarship on the promise that he will study, but uses the opportunity for other purposes, this is also corruption. (149: Mahathir)."..
and how about that. This makes me think a lot. I mean, we see corruption as bribes or whatever you want to name it, but actually, we have been practicing it our selves.
I mean, if as a student gets a scholarship, but used the money to get married or to support him/her in getting married..is that corruption?..or will they justify that when they get married, they can study?...
reading this chapter is an eye opener...i wont say much on this topic, but eventually, what can i say is, everyone is doing it, without they realizing it and sometimes, we think that maybe what we are doing is for a better cause, then it is okay..therefore, one thing to be reminded each and everyday in life..
there is no good and bad in life and in person.
there is just it.
and when i finished reading it, i wonder..if i can spend a day with Tun Dr. Mahathir and listen to him, not when he talks on UMNO politics, but more in Malaysia, Malays, and life..
His opinion what i want to understand most and i to see his persepctives is what i desired also.

Malay..Part 2

It seems that i may elaborate on this topic, on my opinion. Multiracial is a must if one's country wants to be successful. I may be prejudiced here, but take a look at our neighboring country, Brunei. Go there, and take a look on the economics, educations and everything there, not just the museums or what not. And realize, when we are in out own community, where we become 'soft' in a surrounding, we will not be better. in fact we will degrades and how can we survives and make the nation a great thing.
For me, if people wants to talk about Malay or praising the Malays and condeming others, take a look at the history and think on it. Dont just merely read. You will gain nothing. sometimes, we need a challenged, a boast, so we know how to strive better. look at all things in wider views and not just emotion based views. Emotions is not a reliable based judgment. Think and act. I can say a lot more that i dont like in Malays and i am hoping to change; be it the jpa (scholarship) thing, or the dependency of the malays towards the government.

What is the different between the Muslim and non-Muslim in Malaysia?

To tell the truth, now, i find the malay Muslims have become as bad, or might say, as worst and ignorence about their own religion, the Islam. For me, we have become just like the Europe, during i forget which century (will checked this fact) where the relgions has been separated from the daily life , the social network.
This already happen in Malaysia, i am not saying that Muslim in Malaysia, are the worst ever..but we are becoming one of them.
I am scared of what might happen in the future. The judgement day will surely come, but before that, there is the 'Hari Kiamat'. For now, i myself, need to be become a good person.so am i a selfish person, if i want to improve myself first, but ignored the people around me, of what they are doing...? or should i play my part?
but in this community nowadays, whatever the person are doing, is none of the person business. So, tell me how do you i behave in this kind of community?
sometimes, when this demoralization of the Muslim, are getting worst..i myself, am afraid to get married. For i dont know what might happen to my children.
Maybe if abstinence the option, then so be it...by God's will.
But, who knows, i might change my mind...after all, i am not in love with anyone, and there is no urgency to get married...and for any of the reasons that people get married for.
