Mood: Blur
Listening To: Nothing..
Wrote this in the morning..6.30am or so..
No idea what sort of nonsense I wrote, but whatever.

Y’know, insomnias should cease to exist.
I just thought of the elections (duh) not long ago while tossing and turning in my bed. And I find that the government isn’t doing much.
Have they, or have they not done much? I’ve got no idea. It’s funny when you do something wrong, the government is against you. And when you do SOMETHING right, the government is against you. Having the mass media by their side, their true colours are being shadowed by lies. Nobody really knows what’s going on.
It’s not like me to think of the nation’s current economy state, but ever since the regression in 1999, or 2001, or 2020 (surely got wan –lah-), the economy never got any.. better.
Besides, having free education (also needing to pay a certain amount of fees for certain things in school, yearly. Free.. yeah.), I can’t say much about.. studying our asses off over crap subjects that doesn’t really benefit us in the end.
Now, coming to the fact of the everyday essentials – money. What nonsense is that when you can’t even earn much? The amount may sound a lot at times, but sorry, to really take care of a family of 4 in Malaysia, you require at least RM20,000. The sort of thing where your kids don’t need to work for their daily spending or future education. Hell, they can even slack off at home while waiting for their next phrase in life to happen.
Any lower than that, and Malaysia will be one hell of a nice place to live in.
Talk about “Tak Nak”. Everything revolves around that phrase. Look at the cops these days, you see them wearing badges about anti-rasuah, but it’s just another decoration piece. What? Corruption and bribery happens everywhere but only at a different level? True. Very true. You know what happened to my brother’s friend when he tried to bribe a traffic warden because he was speeding?
He checked into the local lock-up.
What do we get here? Dumbasses who don’t even get paid enough, shaking your hand like you’re their fucking Allahs, for giving them extra income. Talk about being polite. I remember I had to bribe a damned cop off because of my brother’s brainless action of not paying his roadtax – for about 2 and a half years now. And what? He shook my hand saying: “Thank you.”
As stupid as it sounds, or as unpatriotic I am, how can citizens like us be proud of what country we’re from when we don’t get what’s our money’s worth in the end? Money aside, how about hard work? Oh wait, in a country like this, everything works around bribery and money, so hard work is just bullshit.
Bullshit? You don’t agree? Then explain why top business tycoons in Malaysia have tight connections with both business partners and gangsters to reign in terms of money.
I forgot where and what the hell this is, but my dad was telling his colleague once about corrupted politicians, and how my mum stumbled upon this gigantic-white palace place thing that belonged to this motherfucker who should never even existed in the first place in Tambun. Just where ARE they getting their money from? Oh wait. It’s right before our very own eyes. The next time you head to McDonalds, it’s stated right there in the receipt - “GOVERNMENT TAX”.
My cousins once told me. Malaysian cousins that I never really knew of, anyways. Mainly because they spent most of their lives outside of Malaysia, relaxing. What they say is that money being earned elsewhere, is so much better compared to Malaysia. Whatever you strut for 10 years here, is as equal to 2 years elsewhere.
Sorry, guys. If I had to vote, and even if my life depended on it, I wouldn’t vote for anybody at all. It is because of the arrogance of the past, they’ve screwed things up for us, now.
Until the day I get sent to jail for riding my brother’s Honda Wave 100 with an expired road tax, I’ll just work my ass off through studies, and get the hell out of here.
And probably never return. After all, there is technology for all of us to keep in touch with, anyways.
