I Know What MY Did In 2007, Do you?

This is the second day of 2008.
I have been thinking - what would make one really angry that he would do something? So, since I know WHAT MY DID in 2007, I am writing to my cousins and friends about them so that they will start thinking what they should do to stop the place/society/country from rotting.

Dear friends/cousins
Year 2008 has just started. I am sure you must have drafted your 2008 resolution. Not meaning to probe but did you put in things you need to do to stop our beloved country from rotting?
I am glad that you have a great job and stable income. Every weekend or holiday you would bring your parents and loved ones out for shopping or great meals or visiting relatives and it all seems life could not be any better.
But you really have to set aside a few minutes to observe how the place we live in has changed over the years. These are not just "news" and they are affecting our daily living, and who knows, you might be the victim of these happenings. Or, you have already been made a victim without you knowing it.
Let me tell you why by giving you some examples:

1. According to AG's report released in 2007 - Lots of people's tax money are misappropriated by the so-called civil servants. You are already a victim since these money came from your pocket too. Can you imagine that your "servant" (or employee) paid a few thousand dollars "on behalf of you" for something that worth only less than a hundred bucks? What will you do to your "servant" (or employee)? Will you continue to let a fox watch over your hen house? Also, had these money not been misappropriated, it could be used to repair the roads which damage your car's wheels or cover the longkang which a lot of people have fallen into.

2. In a tape released and uploaded to youtube, the conversations in the tape are implying that we have a judiciary problem going on. Does that mean anything to you? YES! If you are to go to court to fight someone, will you pause for a minute to think if you will given a fair judgement, worse still, a judgement will be given at all.

3. Our mainstream media have not stopped carrying daily headlines of gory crime. For this, you have to feel happy about the "openness" of the media because at least, you are put on alert and you will watch for any suspicious people following you when you go out or go home. Remember when you asked me if you still need to renovate your new house with iron grill as if you are living in a cage or something? I said yes not without a valid reason, even if you will be staying in a gated community. But these are all "reactive" measure to protect yourselves. Your company has just recently obtained the ISO 9001 certification and I am sure you understand why a preventive measure is preferred over a corrective one and so I shall say no more. Please do something to tell your "servants" that it is their job to ensure your safety, not having them to tell you that it is your own fault to attract the "snatchers" because you wear valuables jewellary when going out. If they cannot do their job, fire them.

4. Further to point no.3, you should also be alerted on things not carried by the mainstream media. I know people like to preach "I want to see and hear the truth" but not everyone is actually practising it. Do you read news carried by independent sources? online/digial media? Please do some reading over the internet, you subscribe to streamyx don't you? I know the quality/price ratio of streamyx sucks, since you are already paying for it, just use it to find things our mainstream media don't tell you or, tell you in a different way. Things not report doesn't mean they did not happen.

I think I have said enough. If you are interested in finding out more about the Lingam Tape, the AG's report, the Lina Joy's case, the Port Klang Free Zone scandal, BERSIH, Where did your YB go when you were facing the worst flood ever, and many many more, just google them will you?
