Malaysia is 50 today!
I have three wishes for Malaysia:
ONE. I wish that Malaysians be wiser and socially mature. Let us not be driven fear or anger that blinds from that fact that Malaysia as a nation is constantly evolving and changing. Slow as it maybe sometimes, we need to be led by facts and knowledge. Let us not be swayed by the different agendas, ego and emptions of others. Let us not be afraid to seek for knowledge and continue doing it through question, discussions, dialogues and even debates.
My hope is that in time we will be able to go beyond persons and personalities. A mature society arises when the people seek for knowledge and elected leaders be accountable for providing these knowledge truthfully and with integrity. It is not about who is right but more of doing what's right.
TWO. I wish that Malaysians be better friends with one another. There is so much division and separation. Many did not make enough efforts to emphase on unity and integration in a deep and holistic manner. We must make the effort to be colour-blind and to learn to appreciate one another.
There is so much we can learn from one another.
THERE. I wish we do not give up but continue to be patient. Democracy is not dead, it is a process. We must continue to endeavour with patience, compassion and peace in our hearts.
Let the future of our country be driven by such positive energies.
Happy Malaysia Day, 2013 everyone!
PEACE.
