Listen to yourself and your contradiction .... did i say that i blame everyone in Malaysia or Malaysia was bad ..... jeez ... release your pent up frustration at a Spa or whatever takes your fancy, man ...
i contradicted myself? i just said don't lump everyone into the same group. there are good people and there are bad people so why lump the good and the bad togehter? is this contradictory? :hmmmm:
i'm frustrated? i wasn't the one who had to 'turn my back on malaysia on its value and wat it has to offer. :hmmmm:
step back and read through your post and mine. who is more 'frustrated' judging from the way things are written? :rolleyes:
I moved on ... 17 years later .... i'm where i am because of hard work and sacrifices that I made because the System, I chose not to continue ... i chose to turn my back on the System ... I made the most from it ..... I'm having the last laugh because if i had gone on 17 years ago, i wouldn't have made it to where i am today... Friends that stayed are rightfully in their own right successful also .... U are making a mountain out of an ant hill by your statements ... The System is made by people (agreed), however Politicians are the ones that dictate what goes into a System.
once again, where and how am i making a mountain out of an anthill? is asking you NOT to lump both the good and the bad malaysians together 'making it into a mountain'? :hmmmm:
Let me be clear here before U jump to conclusions again, the System I'm referring to is the Education System.
did i make any assumptions on what you had referred to as the System in my previous posting? i just said that the System was designed by people and implemented by people. so, who is jumping to conclusions now? :hmmmm:
I'm sure that u will rightly agree that we don't have a say in it whatsoever. It's what u get fed down your throat by the Politicians after being tabled in Parliment. Of course u'll say that the Politicians are elected members voted upon in a Democratic Election by the Mass Majority, so of course they represent the views of the people. Of course, there's no perfect System in the world nor a perfect Society but it should not be so visually & perenially flawed.
dude, don't go to the moon. i'm talking about NOT lumping both good and bad malaysians together. since when did i start on politics? don't put words in my mouth la... :rolleyes:
If u read carefully my statement, I clearly mentioned "I" but maybe what was not mentioned clearly was "to Me Academically" at the end of the sentence. (That's why i turn my back towards Malaysia a long time ago on it's value and what it has to offer. )
as i have repeated many times, your statement here reflects that the country (ultimately, its people) failed you and therefore you turned your back against it. to you, the country/people's value isn't 'real value' and has nothing to offer you. i'm just asking you not to make such sweeping statements because there will always be value, because there are many good malaysians who has good things to offer, both tangible and intangible, material or not.
As for the bandwagon, u may be thinking (I'm just assuming) that I'm coming down on Azizi but he knows I'm just stating my opinion here and we are good friends. Before anyone thinks otherwise, I'm obliged to state the facts.
did i even mention Azizi once in my replies to you? i only focused on the statement that you highlighted in RED. seems like you are the one who is jumping to conclusions.
As for your statement about making sweeping & unfair statements , I simply do not understand from where u are coming from ... Again, u have taken everything out of context. Jeez, get a life man .... Like i always say, One Man's Meat is another Man's poison ... To each his own. If u say that Malaysia is a Democracy, then I'm entitled to my opinion & so are U.
i think i made myself clear about what i said in my previous replies to you. if you insist that i have taken things out of context, jump to conclusions, have so much pent-up frustrations that i need to go to a spa, wish to debate politics, create mountains, jump on bandwagons or whatever, then i have nothing else to say.
Lastly i do apologise to the threadstarter for digressing from your intended subject.
soli i OT oso :wavey:
