It won't be long before Malaysia reaches this level. When it happen, you will rue the day you let the government and corporate money monetizes health care service. Changes, is what we need.
...that we live in a country where if you don't have money, you're most likely to be dead and stupid by being denied the right to have a good education and appropriate health and care service.
"Let's make college either free, or REALLY LOW and if you have a country full of whip-crack smart people you have a country the rest of the world will fear." - Henry Rollins.
Golden.
If you business-management-major-pretending-to-be-smart-ass-economist claims that Malaysian can't afford the tax like them Swedish pays, how does REALLY LOW college tuition fee/loan WITHOUT INTERESTS sounds?
This guy never finished college. But seems like he figured out solutions to problems that a whole cabinet have been 'struggling' with for years on end.
Stop putting a 'price' on people's life and intelligence.
People read less and less book everyday, and it is sad.
Intelligence changes the credibility and the way people argue. People who reads actually are more likely to have the argument goes their way. People goes from, "in the book 'This' and 'This', it mentions that..." to "you don't believe me? Google it yourself" and "dude, it said so in Wikipedia". It is so sad that the internet actually spoils people the wrong way.
I don't want to come of as anti-technology or anything. But too much dependence on iPhone or your smartphone can actually kills human intelligence. People prefers reading and arguing pointlessly in YouTube comment section rather than spending their valuable time actually reading a good book on humanity, philosophy, world icon's autobiography or conflicts and war history. When do Kim Kardashian become more relevant than Dr. Charles Vacanti?
Books are yours to choose from. The best part? A good book contain maxims that you affects your take on this world while very mildly changes your behavior and personality, only in a good way. A good book always lends you an idea and perception that the world is either a good place to live in, or STILL a good place to live in. It reminds you that there's some faith in humanity that you can invest in. A good book is like a best friend that can give you advice and will NEVER argue with you if you don't want to take it.
Internet is not all evil. It's just that quite often the internet makes wrong people rich and famous for a wrong reason in a wrong way. It also gives wrong people the power to make them do wrong things, but seems righteous in the eyes of wrong viewers.
Humanitarian, Greenpeace, PETA have always stand by the 'principle' of 'wanting to leave a better world for our children'. But I think it is more important to leave a better children for the world.
Don't be a 'slave' to technologies and development. Master them.
Mempunyai harta yang banyak, handphone yang canggih, gadget yang terkini, beg yang mahal, kasut yang banyak, kereta yang mewah, rumah yang besar dan barang kemas yang beribu ringgit, boleh dianggap sebagai tahap 'keimanan' seseorang untuk 'agama' yang kurang disedari orang.
Agama 'Materialist'.
Think about it. Ia ada 'Tuhan' = Harta. Rumah ibadat = bank dan pusat beli belah. Ibadat = menggayakan harta. Pengikut yang ramai. 'Dosa' dan 'pahala' = Handphone yang paling baru dan gadget yang paling canggih, kamu tak perlu segan 'berdosa'. Handphone yang lekeh dan tidak mempunyai barang kemas yang paling mahal, kamu perlu malu kerana kurang 'berpahala'.
Paling penting, agama 'Materialist' ni makin bertambah pengikutnya dari hari ke sehari. Beruzlah 8 jam sehari di tempat kerja belum dikira mencukupi. Perlu 'berzikir' lebih masa untuk harta yang lebih. Perlu 'qiamullail', korbankan tidur untuk wang yang banyak. Sakit? Bukan alasan. Boleh 'beribadat' di depan laptop jika tidak boleh ke pejabat.
Religion, nation and festive aside, this video message should applied to everybody.
He's got a point, and I'm not wishing anybody Merry Christmas.
