In every bad there is some good

Exams are coming and like many typical students, I am beginning to put in the hours. Its in times like this I wish I had been more productive earlier. Oh well.....

Last Friday, to protest the relocation of temple to section 23, 50 foolish assholes with nothing better to do paraded with a cows' head and cried for blood at the Selangor state secretariat. If I had been hanging around there, I think my head will be dangling next to the cow's. Scary stuff. ( bear in mind that I am not the type that get's scared easily)

The internet, mainstream and side stream media was flooded with comments of people and politicians on both sides the camp.

The Hindus and non Muslim were understandably upset.

Its interesting to see what the Malays said.

Some Malay Muslims did not mind a temple, some did. Some said Barisan was to blame for this mess, some said PR was to blame. Some said there were ample amount of temples around. Others said to let them be, most of these temples were there when the British came....

But an overwhelming majority of these same people with all the different opinions, political background and walks of life uniformly felt that the demonstrations were stupid, uncalled for and not in the spirit of Ramadan.

I originally wrote a different post on Friday itself tittled 'What's wrong with my country?' There is a saying in Tamil that translates; in every bad thing there is a good thing. After reading all these comments from facebook and many web sites, I do know that we have grown as a nation and there is still plenty of unity among the people despite our differences.

Salam Merdeka and happy Ramadan guys.
