Don't Criticize Malaysians

Actually, I don't even remember that Malaysia is approaching its Independence Day. Independence from what? LOL. My personal opinion? We would have been better off with Great Britain. Imagine. We are using pounds right now. Bigger than USD. Hahaha

Anyway, this is just a short observation. In general, Malaysians should never be criticized. You can't. It's too sensitive. It is precisely this culture that is going to lead it to its demise. If it isn't already demised.

In recent memory, I was working with some Malaysians (as opposed to working with people from other countries, which is what I have been doing for more than a decade now. Not just Americans, but people from Australia, Germany, Poland, Ireland, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Korea) and it appears to me that Malaysians are always in a desperate need for people to butter things up for them.

It's great to have colleagues praise you and work with you in total agreement all the time but when I work with people from other countries, people question me. I got offended and mad sometimes. But I learned that that is how we grow and become better. We become accountable for what we do.

We are not prepared.

We are not prepared to face criticism. When we do, we:-
  1. Deny it, right off the bat
  2. Sue the shit out them
  3. Quit
  4. Insult them back
  5. Publish a status update on Facebook
  6. Tweet it
  7. Run off into the sunset and publish said picture on Instagram
As much as I would like people to think that I am f-g flawless and have never faced criticism in my life, I can't. But I think my experience tells me that I should stand there and listen. And pay the price. This is what humility is all about. No one is always right. No one is always wrong. If something is wrong, say you are sorry, correct it and move on.

I am trying to be really subtle here since we are approaching our country's birthday and all but I think we all know what I am trying to say. LOL.

The current legal slaughter against people who had something to say about our country is an example of how Malaysians typically do things. Supremacy should never be questioned. You will face the consequence of standing up to a supreme force if you dare question it.

If you dare say anything, you face sedition charges. If you search 'sedition' on Google right now, Teresa Kok's face will pop up in the search result.
In law, sedition is overt conduct, such as speech and organization, that is deemed by the legal authority to tend toward insurrection against the established order. Sedition often includes subversion of a constitution and incitement of discontent (or resistance) to lawful authority. Sedition may include any commotion, though not aimed at direct and open violence against the laws. Seditious words in writing are seditious libel. A seditionist is one who engages in or promotes the interests of sedition.
In fact, this blog post might be considered Seditious too since I am already talking about sedition. It is seditious to talk about sedition when one is not in agreement with acting against sedition, no?

I am not being seditious lah. I am saying you should not criticize Malaysians. Read the title of this blog, please. So sensitive.

Sarcasm overload here but read it whatever way you like. I am late for work and am going to spend the day with work, mom and kids.

XOXO,
Marsha

p.s. Pleasant weekend ahead, folks.

A Liberating Activity - Guess What Mine Is....

When asked what’s my one single favorite thing to do in the world, I would usually name a whole list of things that I love to do when my work is not screaming at me. Something that takes my mind COMPLETELY off of everyday tasks and relaxes me. Take a guess what it is…. If you say ‘ reading ’, yes, I love reading (especially soppy love stories with lots of sex scenes, please. Hee hee hee ….) and I also love mystery novels but it’s not the first on the list. If you say ‘ playing the piano ’; yes, I love playing the piano. Creating forms a huge part of my life and whenever I play the piano (as inept at it as I am), there’s this tiny little girl inside of me jumping up and down with glee, clapping her hands. It’s my childhood dream to be able to play the piano! And thumping on the keys gives me a sense of satisfaction when I hear the music. If you say ‘ writing ’; You’ve got to be kidding me! You mean I don’t write enough as it is? Case closed. If you say ‘ playing with my kids ’; Yea...

At Camp 5, 1 Utama: Kids' Rescue Mission

The kids had a wonderfully exciting day today. Now, this is as extreme as this mother is going to get. Mommy goes Paintball, kids go mountain-climbing...I think I've fulfilled the criteria of offering my kids a fun and exciting life as a kid. :-) It was one of their friends' birthday party and they're a little bored of KidzSports...that's for BABIES, anyway, they say. So, off to Camp 5 then, says the birthday boy's mother. Camp 5 in 1 Utama is located near Neways Karaoke, for those who have never been there before. It's a neat little corner tucked up on the roof of the massive shopping complex. Anyway, the kids had tons of fun although a little apprhensive when they saw how high the 'rock' was. It's actually quite neat and if I didn't feel like throwing up whenever up on higher grounds, I would have wanted to try it as well. The highlight of this party came in the form of a rescue mission. As we all know, when one is frighte...

When will Mariah stop flashing her boobs????

Mariah used to be my favourite singer of all time because she's got this amazing gift in the form of a voice that can go ANYWHERE but why oh why is she so obssessed with flashing those enormous peaks of hers everywhere...and why is it that all her songs contain sexual innuendos....touch my body is one of them. I mean, I love the song, I love the tune, I love the beat but PLEASE , Mariah, PLEASE .....why can't you be decent for once? I clicked to watch because I like the song and spent a couple of minutes crossing my fingers that she won't be flashing anything (FAT CHANCE!) in the video. But nope....no such luck. In fact, with a song like that, she goes even further over the top. Where got people answer the door in this type of clothing wan?? Is she for real??? I mean, in this video, she calls a technician up to fix her computer and she answers the foor LIKE THAT ??? Aish.... But the video was entertaining in a sense because the lam-chue-kok (male lead) is this geeky,...
