Yelllow or Red . It is a matter of color

During the crisis in Thailand,  their people was split into the Yellow and the Red Group while the fence sitters became colorless and they are the silent majority.  Of course, when there is a split between the Elite class and the farmers, you will automatically know how are the silent majority and the outcome was proven right, the lower income group will have the major say.

The colors have spread across the border to Malaysia.  The  Civil rights group call themselve , Bersih and they adopted the Yellow color while the ruling party in the existing government is using the color Red. I cannot understand why it is so confusing but it is understandable that many other political parties are using  different colors . For example, PAS is using Green. Now, the color used is Yellow, Red and Green in Malaysia.  These are the same colors as our traffic lights.

Yesterday was the 55th Merdeka Day for Malaysia and on the 30th August , the Civil Rights Group , Bersih held a gathering at  Dataran Merdeka and it was reported that about 10,000  people attended the gathering.  There was no mention of this gathering  in the newspaper except in the  internet website.  What are these newspaper up to ?  So , glaring bias and stupid.  What is wrong to report the event ? They have social responsibility to the Rakyat.  I think they should stop these nonsenses and be more professional and ethical.

After 55 years, many sections of the society is behaving like children and lack the intelligence and the independence to judge for themselves. It is doubtful whether the country has already reached its matured age and be ready for democracy.  Where have we gone wrong ?  Is there a scheme to keep the people uneducated  and weak  to fight like a brainless child ?

The education system have failed us miserably, the TV media have been putting rubbish in our mind  and the newspaper is fabricating news and bias in their reporting.  Everything is in a mass.  This blame should go to the present Government who have been ruling us for 55 years.  The damage is done and it is better to be awaken to this dilemma before we are all sent to the dogs.

As a layman, I plead for more transparency , more ethics and more freedom of speech and expression.  Let the people decide based on actual facts rather than half truth and fabrications.  This is what happen in Iraq when USA attacked  Iraq based on the information on their WMD program.  The truth is that Iraq have dismantled its WMD in 1991 and when the US and their allies went into Iraq , there was no such WMD.

Lets be logical , reasonable and be aware before we judge.

Namaste.
