Malaysia Ku

We raised the Malaysian flag for the recent Merdeka celebration. Turns out we were the only house in the entire row to have a flag flying. I lashed the temporary flag pole and shared it with my Indian neighbour.

My girls, Suzanne and SueAnne, were drawing and painting Malaysian flags 2 weeks prior to Merdeka Day. No one asked them to do that. It just came naturally to them. Like me, they know no other country than Malaysia. Nationalism is in the heart, not the skin.

The politicians can say whatever they want but again, what was the INTENTION in saying those things? Was it for unity or disunity? As a responsible-tax-paying rakyat, to me what matters is the NOW and the FUTURE of ALL.

The choice for the future is in our hands.

Today, I am praying for the safety and well-being of the acquintances that Mrs B and I made when we were in Yangon in 1996. To Catherine and her family, and her colleagues at the UNDP Yangon office, our prayers goes to you and to all of Myanmar. May the Lord shine his face upon you.

Printed news don't pack that much impact as televised news, especially those taken clandestinely by the foreign journalists. It really pains my heart to watch a 4yo girl saying that her mother has died and her 2yo brother crying out non-stop from the trauma. It really pains to hear a father saying that his son and his son's sons and family have all drowned.

May the Generals of Myanmar have some "commoner" sense and let international relief get to where it needs to get to. Let it not be like DPRK, where the furthest you can go to with food relief is the Port of Nampho.

Donate what you can, the clock is ticking, but most of all, pray that the hearts of the Generals are soften...
