I don't like politics and I don't like to write about politics but I'm very well informed about the politics of this country only because it's a country I love. But when such mindless slander is uttered by no less than a Minister of the cabinet, these wrongs must be righted.
We must stand up against such bigotry and not be some frog under some coconut shell.
All the more it becomes our responsibility to be more informed about what's happening around us and our environment.
Yes folks, it is our individual responsibility or we be like the honourable Tourism minister.
Yes. A Minister and he starts by incurring the wrath of female bloggers by accusing them of the following quoted in Chinese daily Sin Chew;
Bloggers are liars. They use all sort of ways to cheat others. From what I know, out of 10,000 unemployed bloggers, 8,000 are women.
Bloggers like to spread rumours, they don’t like national unity. Today our country has achievements because we are tolerant and compromising. Otherwise we will have civil war.
Malays will kill Chinese, Chinese will kill Malays, Indians will kill everybody else."
Strong words huh? Read what some strong women have to say here
and here
If the phrase be true, 'Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" there's more to come.
* Headline from movie 'Hot Chicks' featuring a limerick that starts;
Boys are cheats and liars, they're such a big disgrace
They will tell you anything to get to second base....ball
Baseball. He thinks he's gonna score
If you let them go all the way, then you are a whore..ticulturist...

Post comment if you want the full lyrics to limerick.
Today I read Janet's blog. It was about courage. I think "courage" is something we lack in this country. I think being aware about what is happening around us is not enough because without taking action there will be no changes. Fear is within most of us therefor we choose to to take no action and keep it to ourself.
