Malaysia the country of DOOM
Last weekend i was with a few friends at mamak stall and he showed me this email form this HTC Hero handphone. When i read it, i was totally speechless and i thought of writing it down here and show you all. Now here is the email, please read carefully... (red letters are my comments)
Subject: From Sin Chew Jit Poh
The reality hurts! We are living despondently in a sinking land where our future generation's well beings are at risk. I'm sure, many of us, given the opportunity, will simply shift out and forget about this place. But since we can't do so, why don't we unite and act. I'm not involved in politics, but as the author writes; it's high time to wake up and stand up before it's too late! Cast your votes wisely and change our Boss in hope for a better future.......

你是否和我一樣，發覺身邊的親戚和朋友，似乎少了許多。I wonder you feel the same as me, all the sudden I realized friends and relatives around me seems to get less and less.
-I felt this too for the past 10 years ++ already
以往接近過年時，各種聚餐排得滿滿的，而今年，似乎沒聲沒息。Those years when the New Year drew near, all sorts of gathering appointments almost completely filled the diaries, but this year seems so quiet.
-when i was a kid around 5++ CNY was really happening as i have many cousin brother and sisters to play with but sadly those days are over
即使是平常日子，電話少了，與大家見面也少了。Even in normal time, phone calls become less and less, face to face meet up also become much less.
-very true
也許，大家各忙各的；或者，目前流行“宅生活”，儘量避免出門。Perhaps, everybody is busy with their own things, or perhaps, nowadays people prefer to stay in.
-most of them have their own life already
也不盡然如此。再想一想，很多老友和親戚，已經不在了。嗟！大吉利是，他們都還好好的，只是離開了馬來西亞。However, it is not entirely like this, thinking further, actually old friends and relatives are not around any more. God bless, they are still alive and well, they just left the country, Malaysia.
-most of my friends and relatives have moved on for the better of their life else where
去了中國大陸開工廠；王子不做工程師，移民到澳洲開小食檔；阿風離開本地大學，去香港做講師；青蛙去了台灣，開展事業第二春；還有的到了美國、英國，唔，還有去印尼的……。They have gone to China to set factory; ah Wang quit his engineer job and migrated to Australia to set up his little food store business, ah Fong left the local University went to Hong Kong as a lecturer. 'Frog' went to Taiwan to pursue his second career life. Others went to Americia, England, even Indonesia...
-i got friends and relatives in UK, US, Singapore, and Australia which was once a Malaysia before
起初，以為這只是個別現象，逐漸的，旁人也有同樣發現；原來，這不是個別現象，而是社會現象；這不是少數，而是相當大的數目。At first, I thought these are individual cases, but gradually, people around me realized the same, these are not individual cases but a general symptoms of our society. they are not small numbers but the pretty big indeed.
-looking at the amount of my immediate family i know the figure
外交部早前披露了一個數字，說明這個現象是多麼真實，多麼貼近。Department of Foreign Affairs released the figures earlier, it confirmed the situation is real.
從去年3月到今年9月，已經有30萬大馬人移民他國；其中20萬人是今年1月到8月出走的數目。From March 2008 thru September 2009, a total of 300,000 Malaysian migrated to other countries, among them 200,000 left between Jan - Aug 2009. (in 8 months)
-most of them chinese and indians
累積下來，已經有超過200萬大馬人移民，接近今天印尼外勞在大馬的人口。Cummulatively, there are 2 million Malaysian migrated, this figure is close to the number of Indonesian workers in Malaysia today.
-Look at the amount of Indonesian workers here and you'll know
不同的是，移居他國的大馬人，多是專業人士、中產階級。The difference are, those migrated are mostly professional and middle class people.
-professionals that knows how to think for their future
他們有很多出走的理由，追求事業發展，為了孩子前途，尋找個人更大空間……，概括一句：對馬來西亞失望。They have many reasons to leave: pursue career development, for the future of their children, in search of better life and environment... In one sentence, they lost hope of Malaysia.
-Justice undone here for professional people
50年前，大家說，馬來西亞真好，好過香港，甚至日本。50 years ago people said: Malaysia is very good, better than Hong Kong and even Japan.
30年前，大家說，馬來西亞還不錯，比得上韓國、台灣（不提香港和日本了）。30 years ago people said: Malaysia is not bad, comparable to S. Korea and Taiwan. (No mention of Hong Kong and Japan any more).
20年前，大家說，馬來西亞還可以，至少超越中國、泰國（不能和台、韓比了）。20 years ago people said: Malaysia can do la, at least better than China and Thailand (Cannot compare with Taiwan and Korea lah)
10年前，大家說，馬來西亞再差，還不至於像越南、印尼（中國已是不同級別）。10 years ago poeple said: No matter how bad Malaysia is, cannot be worse than Vietnam and Indonesia ko-ah. (China is already in a different category).
今日，越南和印尼的經濟成長率遙遙領先大馬，社會活力和知識發展也勝過一籌；距離愈來愈近了。Today, the economic growth rate of Vietnam and Indonesia already far exceeded Malaysia, Social activity and intellectual development of the country is also better, the gap between us and them is closing up.
怕甚麼，還有菲律賓和柬埔寨、緬甸。Why worry? there are still Philipines, Cambodia and Myanmar behind us
-i certainly hope we dont end up like these countries.
但是，一位經濟學家最近到菲律賓考察之後，認為再過20年，大馬可以取代菲律賓，出口馬籍女傭到全世界了。However, according to an economist who recently surveyed Phillipines, he think in 20 years' time, Malaysia can replace Phillipines to become the World exporter of Malaysian maids.
-i believe this day will come if Malaysia still don't improve
半個世紀以來，馬來西亞是在大宅院裡，用封建方式，分配祖宗家業，消耗社會資源，浪費和逼走人才；不談競爭力，忽略生產力，討厭績效制。Over half the century, Malaysians live in the big old imperial housing complex, closed up and survive on properties left behind by the ancestor; continue to consume up social resources, wasteful, and drive away talents; they never talk about competitiveness, totally neglect productivity, and hate meritocracy.
-Malaysia BOLEH ma! Apa pun BOLEH la!
亞洲金融風暴來襲時，大馬把門關起來，以為避過一劫，有人還自我陶醉，自以為是天才策略。When Asia economic storm hit in 1997, Malaysia closed their doors, thinking we beautifully avoided a disaster, they even think of themselves as genius, being able to handle the situation so well.
然而，其它國家面對風暴，走出風暴，進行體質改革，跨步向前，登上另一個水平；大馬卻還在原地踏步。However, just look at other countries in our neighbourhood, they stand up, face the storm, and walk out of the storm. They overhaul the system, improve the processes and march forward, they moved up to a new level. And Malaysia, still walking on the spot.
馬來西亞，該醒一醒了。Dear Malaysia, it's time to wake up! We are very very late now!
-We know that but will the government ever know about this? NEVER

There is this Sultan's son in Malaysia (i dont know which Sultan) had a brain tumor and needed the best brain doctor to remove it or death awaits the Sultan's son. So this Sultan's son went and see a local doctor but too bad they don't have the doctor to do so they recommended them to England. They flew to England and saw the brain doctor and by surprise this doctor is a Malaysian. After consultation the Sultan flew his son to Australia this time to seek another doctor's opinion and it's another Malaysian there. After seeking consultation, the Sultan's son finally did his Brain tumor operation removal in Singapore.So the conclusion from the story about is not about the Sultan's son survived or not (i don't know what happened to the Sultan's son and i don't care actually), all smart professional Malaysian (or ex-Malaysian) don't want to serve Malaysia. They rather work in a country is safer, balanced and of course that pays more than Malaysia. I am one of them trying to get out of the Malaysia very badly. Now here is the truth, i actually like Malaysia. Before i went to Australia for my studies i actually want to come back to Malaysia for good but that's past already. Malaysia actually has all the things i want like food, places, and the big land. Thanks to come of the ruler in Malaysia, they have made a mess out of it. I have no desire to hide anything here. I hate them and they are nothing but greedy big pigs awaiting to be fed by the hardworking workers (who actually really want Malaysia to improve and be better than our south neighbour) and do nothing to improve everyday! So in every workers mind will say this "why serve a country that don't appreciate what you're doing?". This is when other country take advantage of the professional workers in Malaysia and lure them to work for their country hoping they can improve their country economy by giving them equal benefits like the locals. This is when the greedy pig leaders start to complaint about the professional that has no faith to help the county to develop and blah blah blah. Hello! It's not that we professionals don't want to help Malaysia! It's YOU (the greedy pig leaders) that drive us away! They won't know how do we feel seriously because they will never been in our shoes.
I will not rest and will fight for my rights here as long i'm still breathing in Malaysia and when all hope is lost, that is when i'll move to another country for good (seeking for that now and it's on the way). Signing off with a song specially dedicated to Malaysia and it's Same Mistake by James Blunt(right song for the right country). Thanks Malaysia, just thanks....
