Cracked Country

If we do not end war - war will end us. Everyone knows that, millions of people believe it but unfortunately nobody does anything. A single war seed after fertilized by conflicts, squabbles, racism, antagonism, greed will eventually germinate into something repellently gruesome and treacherous called war. If nothing is done to alleviate or diminish it, then this bloodshed will only leave an army of cripples, victims of mourners, and lamented, dead folks scattered all over.

Why am I here being a busybody concerning about war? This tragedy has somehow reached an extend that practically everyone viewed it as something recurrent in their mundane lives. Shame on us!

I was settling myself down in front of my macbook, reading The Star and what a bombshell it was for me to come across a news regarding bomb attacks on 3 churches back in my hometown Malaysia. Previously, issues on usage of the word "Allah" between Christians and Muslims had already cause a fracture in terms of sociality and ethnicity in Malaysia.

With bombing churches coming along, 1Malaysia concept is almost nil, literally.

I'm standing on fair ground, trying to eliminate racism which I am cognizant is rapidly developing within me. I have no rights to point accusing fingers across any race, as far as I know has came a long way since independence in promoting unity among Malaysians, despite the differences in race and religion. as fraud as it sounds, it's true.

Despite the fact that non Malays are labelled "second class citizens", I endeavored on and eliminate any suspicion of racism. Though issues regarding usage of the word "Allah" by both Christians and Muslims, I once again strived to diminish this thought. I hope that this arson attacks caused the cowardly and utterly senseless act of a group of misguided, chauvinistic bigots will not deepen the cracks between races in Malaysia but only strengthen bonds that it existed in this democratic country.

I urge all Malaysians to empathise and stand in solidarity with our Christian community in their hour of grief and need, and urge all peace-loving Malaysians to maintain composure and let cool heads prevail. I do not want Malaysia to evolve into a monstrous war stricken 3rd war country and certainly do not wish anything miserable to occur and jeopardize the peace of this sad land.

This mad game that the world loves to play must stop this instant!
