Love and Hatred.....where will each lead us to...

For God so loved the world, that He gave....

As I sit here alone in my apartment, reading news about Malaysia, I cannot but feel sad and truly disappointed.

First there is the Utusan's cerpen about the killing of a Chinese Female YB; have we, Malaysians stoop so low. Where is the love in our heart? What are we teaching our children, it is so obvious that the cerpen is politically motivated.

I urge the leaders to handle this potentialy dangerous situation carefully and swiftly. Bring to task the people responsible for this; for even thinking about it. These are truly the people that should be in Kamunting for inciting hatred and causing fear in our land.

Hannah Yeoh's blog entry titled WIth Great Power Comes Great Responsibility sent me further into the DOWN mood.

When will we ever learn; truly indeed, we have still a long way to go in political and social maturity. We always expect others to do everything and we sit back to watch and comment. We want change , we want freedon but we do not want that responsibility that comes with it.

That is how Malaysia has been governed all these while; give them a little bit here and a little bit there and BN continues to rule. Than on 8th March, some people woke us up, and we all started enjoying this new change. A few weeks down the road, we go back to what we were used to before; sit, talk, complain and complain some more.

These few people who woke us up are still there and will be there to speak up and fight for what is right; even with threats. It is about time we, MALAYSIANS start walking the talk. Stand up and do something!

DO not just talk about injustice; do something about it; even a small gesture. Were you there at the courts when RPK's hearing was taking place? Were you there at the candle light vigils to free the ISA detainees? Or were you at home saying; "aiyooo these people ah.....causing traffic jam only...."

Well, my fellow Malaysians, please walk the talk - let us together give MERDEKA a new meaning.

Let us make change happen, for a better tomorrow for all!

Let us give that little sacrifice as GOD did, that He gavce his only Son......

Hate brings us pain, and only love can bring freedom and change!
