We Malaysians are Selfish
I guess we all know it in our hearts that the government needs to provide more services for the disabled. But then again, the society just doesn't give a shit about the less fortunate people when it comes to highlighting their own priorities. Is empathy enough? Not when the government can start educating people and build more services for the disabled.I admire the facilities provided for disabled people here in Canada. Everything, from bus services, subways, washrooms, man...even the waterpark, for God's sake... have you ever seen a disabled person sitting in a wheelchair in Sunway Lagoon?
What more can I say? Malaysia can be labelled as a shame. A country which is considered to be better off than most of the poor, war-torn countries, but cannot provide even a basic convenience for its less fortunate citizens.
I speak the truth - this is one of the many disappointments faced by some of us who care. And this is where, some of us start to lose hope and faith in seeing a better, caring nation.
We speak of equality in terms of race, religion and culture. Fair enough, we are a multi-racial nation. But what about equality for these less fortunate citizens? Not important? Just because they represent the minority of the nation, and they are not pushing for their rights? Just because they are not...capable enough?
Not caring to provide enough for these people already shows that the government could not care less, thus producing societies who view the less fortunate like they do.
A major disappointment.
This is my two cents' worth. Speaking from the heart of a Malaysian citizen who cares.

about me
Home: KL, Malaysia
School: U of A
I am someone who frets a lot - I call it a psychological disorder. I am constantly trying to escape my complex mind which, very often, drives me and my close companions to the edge of insanity. Born under the sun star Libra, I am greatly affected by a disease called "indecisiveness". Nicknames were never part of my dictionary until I met some people who decided to name me "turtle". Soon, I was representing a zoo of hamsters, "sotongs", pigs, cats, etc...
