I used to think that I hate Malaysia, when I was small.
What's so good about it?
Summer all the year. No playing in the snow like other four seasons countries. No advanced technology big fighting robots everywhere like in Japan. No high speed internet unlimited data like in Korea. No "Agua" show like in Thailand. No great public transport services everywhere like in Singapore.
Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
But I came to realize that, I was wrong.
Very wrong.
I grew up to find that I really love Malaysia, I just hate the ruling government and all their great "contributions" to Malaysia which lead it to today's state. As I was slowly growing up, I found that Malaysia is really, really a great country. And I love it.
What if one day Thailand took over Malaysia and made Malaysia part of Thailand when I'm 70 years old?
That was the question given, sort of.
I've been thinking about it since then, and I think I have found my answer.
SO WHAT?
SO WHAT IF THAILAND TOOK OVER MALAYSIA?
I DON'T GIVE A SH*T.
Yes. I don't really care. No matter Thailand, Iceland, Greenland or even Disneyland took over Malaysia, I still, identify myself as a Malaysian. Malaysia is the land I was born and raised, and grew old at. It doesn't really matter who took over or what country it became part of, because in the end, Malaysia is still Malaysia.
And I'm freaking proud to be a Malaysian.
Malaysia boleh. Malaysia truly Asia. I love Malaysia.
End of story.
Bye.

LOL!!! I love your passion, Gary!!
ReplyDeleteYou are right that Malaysia will always be Malaysia in that the land is always gonna be here and if you identify with the place, then it won't matter who takes over and who colonizes us.
