HOLIDAYS!!
that aside, there was something i saw online that really caught my eye and i felt quite appalled..there is a control of academic development in this country. i know a 19 year old should occupy herself with something less heavy on her mind, but i cant help it. the way i see it, the "3rd World" category may not apply to the physical Malaysia, but more to the mental state we are in. the gap between the open minded, progressive, daring thinkers and that between those who are traditionalistic and fear change is where we see the true condition ofthe country. most malaysians pride themselves on the fact that the gap between the rich and poor in this country is not as drastic as it is in other countries, but like i said, the real gap is not physical...its the mental state.
you can really explain the way this country works through MARXISM..okay, i'll stop at this. i know its getting boring.
but FACE IT, if academic growth is stunted, how can you actually dare to even dream of achieving development?
the way i see it, its still a way those in power keep themselves in power.
several lecturers in a malaysian university were fired after refusing to sign a pledge which basically says they'll be like drones to the government..what is this?? even civil servants have to sign it..if my parents signed it, i dont know what to think..i have a feeling they did.
is this a fear of growth? a fear of change? or is it a fear that they'll be great beyond measure?
i'm goin on holiday in a few hours..i done need to worry about this :)
