Stop talking and do something for once.

.
I have been reading about the recent arson attacks on Malaysian churches, and can't help but feel ashamed. Ashamed to be a Malaysian (I cannot believe I'm saying this. I have NEVER been ashamed of my roots, perhaps until two days ago.)

Of course I am upset about the whole fiasco, and deeply saddened by the inconsiderate actions of these stupid imbeciles, but what more, I am concerned about what the action represent. It is not just some "stupid kids" getting drunk and having fun, doing something silly. Clearly, someone is trying to send a message, and use the scare tactic.

But above all, I am disappointed at what the country has become. All the talks and visions of unity - are honestly just BULLCRAP! The truth is, everyone is unhappy with everyone else. Not to point fingers at anyone in particular, but I'm sure some of the people who stood up and "condemn" this whole act, is laughing deep inside. That they have won, in some deep, dark, evil way. Process of elimination, I suppose? A little like Hitler killing the "weak" and "unwanted"??

What is Malaysia coming to?? How are you going to join the rest of the countries, in fulfilling your vision of becoming a "fully developed" country by 2020?

I have been doing alot of thinking recently, about my future, about my family. I think this situation have just made it more difficult for me to go home. How I wish I could have my family here with me... That way, I won't ever have to step foot into that land ever again. I miss my family there, my friends, and the yummy food... But to be honest, there is nothing else in Malaysia that I will miss. Not if I can't step out of my house, and feel safe. Not if I have to left, right, front, back, left and right again before I open the door.

Isn't it horrible that I am scared to go home? That I'm so close to not call Malaysia "home".

It's tragically sad that, at this moment, I am ashamed to be Malaysian, to be associated with this kind of terrible actions.

Najib condemns attacks

By MAZWIN NIK ANIS

Church Arson

PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has condemned the arson attacks on three churches in the Klang Valley and assured the public that all possible action will be taken to prevent such incidents from recurring.

The Prime Minister also warned the public not to start pointing fingers at who may have been responsible for the attacks.

“I condemn the attacks as they will destroy harmony in this country,” he said.

“Action will be taken against those responsible, based on facts and the law,” he told reporters after chairing the Northern Corridor Implementation Authority meeting yesterday.

Najib also directed Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan to beef up security at places of worship.

He reminded Malaysians not to allow the peace and understanding that they have among each other be threatened by any party.

“As I have said before, whatever problem that arises, we must use the right channel and method to solve it.

“Our action must not be against the law,” he said.

Asked if there were fears of retaliation over the incident, the Prime Minister said the authorities must nip the problem in the bud.

“I hope people will not take the law into their hands. The IGP will report to me on the incident once there is evidence and new developments,” he added.

Najib later tweeted and posted a comment on his blog about the matter, adding that this divisive event and others like it did not represent Malaysia or Islam.

“They don’t represent our families, our communities, or the efforts we have all made toward strengthening 1Malaysia,” he said.

Malaysia, he added, prided itself on representing all religions and pursuing peaceful, legal channels to resolve differences.

“We encourage our citizens to responsibly voice their opinions, but violence is never an acceptable method of expression,” he added.

Najib also took to task a news portal reporter for saying Umno politicians have been “fanning the flames” since the court verdict on the “Allah” issue.

Najib, who was visibly unhappy with the question posed, told the reporter not to point the finger at Umno.

“We have always been very responsible (in our statements). Don’t point the finger at Umno or anybody. Don’t say that these attacks are motivated by Umno. That is a very scurrilous statement you have just made,” he said.

In Ampang, Selangor Umno religious bureau head Datuk Ismail Kijo refuted rumours that Umno members were behind the church attacks, saying there were people taking advantage of the situation to discredit them.

He said there were certain “hands” who were taking advantage of the situation to make Christians think that this was Umno’s doing.

He urged the authorities to make sure the culprits were caught and brought to justice.

ps: Aren't you the "authority" though? What if someone burnt down 4 mosques instead?? I bet the situation would have been dealt with somewhat differently?


And what's up with the "A" word anyways? I really don't get this whole using of the word "Allah" thing... Please enlighten me...

Bottom line is, whoever did this, may you BURN in hell... SLOWLY, PAINFULLY... like how you burnt those churches down.

For the first time in my life, I teared after reading unpleasant news about Malaysia. The reason, who knows.
