Can I get Morphine for My Soul?

Truthfully, before this I thought I never cared about this country. Always had been wishing to go to greener pastures, or at least somewhere with decent internet. Barely ever read the 'Nation' section on the newspaper. Barely ever sang the national anthem. Barely ever held the flag. Barely.

In case you didn't know, I live in Malaysia. And in case you didn't know, Malaysia is buried beneath six feet of shit right now.

Seen videos, seen picture, read articles. So many lies, so much deceit, so much hurt. Our rights are stripped away by the ones who are supposed to preserve it. Nearly cried after watching this. My heart broke when I read this. Is this justice?

My condolences to that man (in the link). He died fighting for a change. Was his death necessary? No. No one should have died from what could have been a peaceful protest. No one should even be hurt. No one. And yet, the police were oh so clever enough to take needless actions, needless cruelty, needless violence. Spend your whole career taking bribes, and when a real situation arises, you screw it up as terribly possible.

The way the police treated the innocent is hardly forgivable. "I have a baton here in my hand. So lets a play a game where you can't win. Tear gas for the win?" Give monkeys weapons and they'll destroy the world.

Well, turns out I care. Who cares if this country has dumb internet. Who cares if bacon isn't easily accessible to over here. Who cares if there's barely any entertainment or facilities. I've been a complaining, ignorant fool. I guess I love the country, for country is its people. If only the authorities could see that.

Still so much injustice and obvious corruption. How could you hold that money with so much blood on your hands? How can the police go home and say they've done their job?

On the bright side, I'm glad nothing major happened in my hometown. In fact, I went out and enjoyed myself, only to come back reading and watching all the baloney that has happened. I'm glad most of us were safe. Then again, in every situation, may the name of the Lord be praised.
