Dear Haris, it seems that your heart has been blinded by hatred that everything that the BN government does is sure to be bad. Mind you,I too dislikes those who is corrupted but not all that they have done are bad or useless. You guys are getting cocky by the days and one day it will get to your head. Tell me what is the difference between you and them?

___________________

Please do not misconstrue as hate my total distrust for and rejection of a regime that has for so long inflicted injustice on the rakyat.

Yes, I despise the burden that they place on an already heavily burdened people.

I despise that they terrorise the very people they took oath to serve.

I despise that in the name of affirmative action, they rob and plunder from the impoverished.

I despise that in the name of God and religion, they inflict inhumane treatment on my fellow citizens. 

But I do not hate them.

I just wish they would leave us to begin the healing of a nation so badly scarred.

What difference between them and I, you ask.

I desire change, not power.

They ask you for power, but not to bring about change.

I desire a nation of a single people.

They would keep us divided.

I desire justice and equality.

They offer tyranny.

I desire that you, wayan562, and I, be heard.

They would rather have you and I silenced.

Getting cocky, you contend.

Again, do not confuse as cockiness a people slowly finding confidence from their mutual support to speak up, to assert themselves and to take their place in nation-building and governance.  

All this will get to my head, you say.

I pray that day never comes.
