1 Malaysia ? Its too late fools, its all seperated

Last week, my family and I went for dinner at a 5 star hotel to have dinner with our neighbours.

Doesnt that first line sound weird already ? Going out with your NEIGHBOURS for God's sake ! ??? Whats going on ? Your neighbours are not worth even 2 cents which equals to nothing !

But its true, we went out with them and bought spent them a good diner. Why ? Because after 27 years, they are moving. A nice Malay couple with 3 kids who have all grown up except the last one who is now 17.

Do you all remember a time, if you were born in the 80's and lived your youth through the 90's, your neighbours were a part of your lives.

What happened to playing sports together like football , badminton, catching, chopping (wow never said that game in a long time !) and be it masak masak or car games, shooting games, fishing, bottle caps, marbles, rounders, or anything you can imagine under the sun literally. If you were bored with all these games, you and your neighbours would create one from anything you could find and make it your own.

Age didnt make a great difference and before the age of video games, all neighbours children were social amongst each other. Your parents would receive cookies, extra food, call each other on the telephone from one neighbour to another and then meet at the fence or weekly vegetable seller to catch up further on gossip.

What happened to your neighbours that used to take care of your home, bring your children to school if your car broke down in the morning and handing them over your keys whenever you needed to go out station. Even your car keys to warm it up if necessary.

This all sounds like something you would read and view pictures from a LAT comic. (Do you even know who LAT is ?).

I came to the conclusion at the end of our diner that the only thing that made a difference in this country was not age, not social standing, not anything but just your religion. Not even race. Do not get these 2 things mixed up. Religion was the only thing that made us different. Thats all. Now thats 1 Malaysia. You go home and practice anything your bible says, but other than that, what else could make us different ? You even took interest in each others religion.

Today, the story goes by Mr. 500million ringgit commision, that he wants a "1 Malaysia" concept. I think its bullshit. Why doesnt he practice giving his neighbour a helicopter or fighter jet then by showing he is 1 malaysia ? Or showing that he cares for his neighbours too ? Bagilah ketupat, lemang ke, satay. Dickhead !

Could you count on your neighbours for anything today ? No. Today, if you park your car outside their property, they would give you shit. It becomes a vindictive game and things get ugly.

You cant count shit on them. They dont give a fuck about you. Their kids become more anti social as they grow up and learn no social skills what so ever cause they wear thick 600 powered glasses at 10 years old by sitting at home playing PC and PS and XBOX and other game consoles. Your neighbours kids next door has 800 power glasses. What happens then ? they dont socialise with their neighbours, they lack in sports and they become droids.

Im curious to know what the next generation of young people would be like.

Would they be fat ? How will their social skills be ? Would they be open and dynamic to other races ? How will they act to their neighbours ? Will they know any traditional Malaysian games like batu seremban, bottle cap, rounders etc ?

Sad isnt it, all it took was just about 10 years to piss things down the drain. While for 50 years things were going great.

If you are reading this, and you're in your mid 20's, do me some help. Move to a neighbourhood where the race group is dynamic and not segregated. You and your children need to know how to use their hands and feet than their arse on a seat in school and a couch at home and your meal table during diner. Its not healthy, they dont do squat and they dont learn anything.

Use your mouth to say "Hello" or smile to your neighbours. Use your hand to wave at them. They might find this situation strange and bizare, but it will do you and your kids good. They might even think you are a freak for doing this at first but dont worry.

Soon, they would wave back, small talk with you. Why not invite them for your parties and festivals. They would then have to repay the favor. From there, lets see where things go...
