Now that Merdeka Day has come and gone, did the Earth move for you?

I remember back in the day when Merdeka Day to me was really a cause for celebration. As a child, I was brought to the Selangor Club to experience great celebrations of excitement and exhilaration. I remember walking the roads shouting Daulat Tuanku in my school uniform when the Royal Family would do their drive past in that amazing Rolls Royce convertible. Doing the Royal Wave and digging their nose in the process. Come on, we’re all human after all.  Later, we had our annual tradition of watching the fireworks and there were still patriotic sentiments.

These days however……

T1 came home 2 weeks ago excited because she had learnt all the names of our Prime Ministers and knew the Merdeka story. She even enacted how Tuanku Abdul Rahman stood on stage and shouted out SEVEN times, she proclaimed and he did exactly this with his fist. She acted out the mini Tuanku Abdul Rahman on stage and was mighty proud. They must have shown them a video or something at school. I’m guessing.

I’m happy that T1 is so excited about Merdeka and that the school has managed to inject some sense of excitement and patriotism into our young children. Although the exams were over, she did not want to miss school on Monday even though I suggested it to her (as I had other things planned, hee-hee, and honestly just did not want to do the school run). Apparently there was a Merdeka celebration at school that she did not want to miss etc etc etc. OK, whatever……damn it.

I guess it is hard for me to feel happy right now because I feel that all our tax money is being abused. It’s going to that new palace across the street for the King. Why He needs a multi-billion palace, I have no idea. We’re talking billions. WHY? Please tell me. WHY?

And what about that Hospital in town that was built a few years ago? It is hardly used and do you know that the doctors there get a SALARY of close to a hundred grand a month? For doing nothing much as there are hardly any patients? Shit, if I was a doctor there, I’d feel like a criminal! In most private hospitals, doctors are made to source their own patients and pay a rental to the hospital. Not in THIS hospital. Do you also know how much the hospital cost? RM1.3 million per bed. Go figure. Why? Why are they wasting all this money when we could be developing a better nation starting with EDUCATION?!!!! Eradicating poverty. Yada-yada-yada…..

Can I please urge you, each and everyone of you Malaysians……if you are a Malaysian and have not registered to vote, please do so at your earliest, EARLIEST convenience. Do it by this weekend if you can. Seriously. Elections will be as early as very, very soon so don’t miss your chance to vote. Or lose your right to complain. I know, I know…..but vote for who, you say? Better the devil you know, than the devil you don’t?  Just go and vote!!! Pray to God and ask Him for some answers!!!

It is SO TRUE that the Government hands out contracts to their preferred people. You scratch my back, I scratch yours.
