The wonderful world of Grace’s thoughts

democracy.
malaysia.
democracy.
malaysia.
this is what i call an oxymoron.
msia? democratic?
well, if democracy means majority rules and let’s-pretend-the-minority-doesn’t-exist, then SURE. malaysia is super the democratic.
or better yet.. majority rules, and if the minority doesn’t agree with the majority, wave parangs (better still, keris-es) at them, and threaten to kill them.
WAIT.
i know other defination of democracy which fits malaysia..
only those in favour of the present ruling government are represented. the rest of you, just shut up.
seriously.
i just so happen to be studying abt the electoral system/democracy in the uk, while back home there’s smth abt the elections and also the whole protest thing that was just hilarious.
i can’t remember the name of the minister who was interview by al-jazeera, and also don’t remember much of what he said.. but suffice to say, it made my day.
i wonder if he has ever heard of the this thing we lyk to call DIPLOMACY.
and also this language that we speak.
ENGLISH.
goodness.
pretending not to be able to hear the interviewer when you don’t want to answer a question is smth ppl in their pre-teens do.
o_O
and then of course, to put the icing on the cake, he had to end the interview accusing the network of being bias towards the opposition.
very diplomatic.
i’m amazed that you aren’t lyk the prime minister.
and the Uk think they’ve got problems, what with the first past the post thing, and not proportional representation.
oh, and another brilliant thing abt malaysia’s democratic-ness.
2 orang ulu in the middle of the jungle in sarawak make a constituency.
5,000 people (let’s not bring up the whole race thing) in central kuching in sarawak, ALSO represents a constituency.
brillant, aren’t we?
it’s not that i want to hate the government.
they are just making it way too hard to love them.
and i’m not doing anything wrong ‘bad-mouthing’/speaking the truth.
freedom of speech, human rights!
*this is the side effect of too much consti law-ing over the last few days*
and now, for more abt me.
i am busyfied.
i have 5 supervisions next week, meaning 5 pieces of work to complete.
but then after than hurdle, its h.o.l.i.d.a.y.s.
yay.
