12th of May. One day before the darkest day in Malaysia history. The infamous May 13th incident.

It has become a "taboo" or a so-called forbidden topic to be spoken out in public since the year of 1969. Although we have marched into the new millennium, it still acts like a nylon rope which holds us back from going forward to advancement.

No doubt, the incident is more to a sad memory we force ourselves to forget about it totally, and if there is a remedy or medicine that we could use to erase this memory, i think those who have undergone the painful incident would really like to do it.

However, due to this incident, the government has implemented the useless(sorry to say so, the truth is always pain) NEP. The main aims of this policy are to eradicate poverty and re-structuring the society. Those was aims back to 1970.

Now, it has turned out to be a "privileged card" for the aborigines ( bumiputras). When they ever buy a property, 10% discount is given "unanimously". By the way, they also enjoyed some benefits in the field of education, job-opportunity, political and economical etc..

On and off, they have their own leaders from their own parties raising the keris, and shouted some meaningless slogan, which would only destroys the ethnic union and nothing else. And, don't know since when, the Malay's Right has become the most important issue, tripping across our national policies and many other rules.

We are now in the year of 2008 (in case some of our honorable leaders forgot). The old communist country has awaken and held the world oldest and prestigious sports event, the Olympic Games. The States, in the first time of history, having a lady and a Blackman to run for presidential election. Singapore, Taiwan, and South Korea all have stepped forward, but the cute, little Malaysia who is still proud of the independence we gained in 1957, continues to go round and round in the same circle and stroll in the memory lane.

Please...wake up my dear Malaysia!!!
