I read in a newspaper recently, of a missing girl, Nurin Jazlin. It was related to an article of a little girl's body found in a bag. Contacts tell me DNA tests matched the DNA of Nurin. And yet, why have Nurin's perents denied the fact that this is their missing daughter?
Some people say that they denied it because they want the money coming in from various funds to help the search of Nurin. I don't believe them. Just imagine, your a parent. You love your kid to death. You try and give the best to your kid. Then one day, she goes missing. The police believe that a body they found is hers. You then DENY that she is your own, for money. What god foresaken parent would do that?
Please, bloggers and readers of this blog, help find this missing girl. Your contribution to the search may unite a little girl to her parents. www.nurinjazlin.blogspot.com is the place to go for details. Please, do your part to help make a parent's day.

Racial Unity
The other day, I was walking around my neighbourhood with my mum, when I overheard what one mum said to her daughter. 'Jangan main dekat sana, banyak orang Cina.' No offence to those of you who are Chinese, but what I want to know is, why must we look at a different race as bad people?
This sort of racial indiscrimination is what plagues our country to this day. Our nation has been trying to combat racial indiscrimination since the day that Tunku shouted 'Merdeka!' seven times on the 31st of August, 1957. This matter was nothing serious at the time, and the government thought nothing of it, because they thought that the matter would resolve itself sooner or later. Their thoughts fell very far off course.
Today, most Malays belittle the Indian's and the Chinese. To this day, I still have no idea why they do this. Maybe because, in the days leading to our nations independence, we used to have Indian 'coolies' come to the foreign dignitaries' homes and take out their 'doo'. This is our history. If it wasn't for those 'coolies', would our nation, in all it's glory (whatever we have left, that is), be the nation we know today?
The worst type of racial belittlement is those of the Indonesians. If you look at construction sites, who are the workers? Look at your own home, who is the one you hire to do your house chores? Who are the people that come to take out the trash? Without them, what are we? We would have a dirty, smelly, under developed country. All because the Malays are to proud to do the dirty work. For god's sake, can a country progress if it's filled with accountants?!
I am not proud of our nation's history. May 13th, 'coolies', all of that sort. But we must work to achieve racial unity. 'Satu bangsa, satu negara, Bangsa Malaysia!'. With god's will, this is something we can look forward to in the future.
Have to go now, the Internet cafe's A/C is freezing my fingers off.

Is it just me?
The other day, my uncle saw a man on a motorcycle knocking the window of a vacant Perodua Kancil. When my uncle pretended to make a call to the police, the man left, and started on another car, just in eyeshot of my uncle. This time, he didn't take notice of my uncle, playing with his phone again.
It isn't just this crime that is accociated to motorcyclists today. They have earned many names, like 'Mat Rempit' and such. These rebellious acts of crime terrorise the streets of the nation. Despite expensive and extensive operations to fight these crimes, they still rage on through the night.
What JPJ is doing now is stopping the crime in action. What needs to be done is to look in to the history of these 'Mat Rempits'. It has been proven that by pshyciatrists that a troubled past can lead to an even more troubled future. We have to find a way to promote a healthy lifestyle to stop people becoming delinquents. 'But how?' isn't something i've figured out just yet.
Maybe having the same infrastructure for those living under minimum wage like in England. That is, assuming the government doesn't get anymore stingy with their funds. Or maybe have a centre to find jobs for, well, the job-less! I feel that this may help the rising motorcyclist problems. I hope someone will do something about this soon.
