A 50-Year Old Nation, A 50-Year Old Adult

I just don't understand. That's not an understatement.

It doesn't take a schoolboy to understand but not our leaders, nation and even many hypocrites still lurking unnoticed in Malaysia. Yeah, they came out like hooligans last Saturday, alright! All in the name of Malays' rights being challenged. How sad a storyline being concocted this way, still did not warrant a hooligan act.

Summing up the recent forum, when a former Suhakam commissioner and activist who is a Muslim aptly commented on TV "why a 50-year old nation like Malaysia still could not have open discussions on issues pertaining to Malaysians". She was puzzled, lost for word. Me too!

What were our leaders doing last Saturday? PM wake up! They actually played into the hands of these hypocrites. Leaders are whom the citizens look up to in trying times or issues concerning the nation. Leaders set the examples, who do the right thing. Apparently many do not adhere to this very principal. By merely saying "this is not right, that is not right" will not solve all the national problems plugging us for 50 years. Anything deemed sensitive is liken to a time-bomb waiting to explode. How true it was on last Saturday.

Amid fighting for their own survival, anything less political is not important anymore. A headless chicken wandering aimlessly is very much the truth for Malaysia these days. National issues are put aside. Taking a look at the real scenario, everyday is the same old storyline - merely providing lip-service.

This is the reality; how things are taken for granted for 50 years now coming back to haunt them. A 50-year old adult would have been matured enough to sit down, talk and find a solution to a sensitive problem. But for 50 years our leaders lack the courage and chose to ignore.

If a father doesn't teach the son, who else can!!!
