One Blinded Eye

It doesn't make sense when we sing patriotic songs louder and more enthusiastically when we were younger, and yet, the spirit just dies off along time.

Yes, there are problems to the country. Every country has their own problems.

What is stopping us from looking at the goods and blessings which we had received from Malaysia?

Why are we complaining all the time of the problems, and stopped us from looking back, what we've achieved?

Many argue that we could be better. YES, no one is trying to refute such statement.

When the sense of belonging disappears, people migrate. I have friends who have no whatsoever reasons to stay back in Malaysia, other than the lack of funds to migrate.

I say, bravo. Abandon ship when the ship is sinking. Perfect choice, smart and ingenious.

People from the other countries that you will migrate you hates you for how you dislike the foreign workers who comes to Malaysia. They see you as robbers like how you judge the foreign workers who are here. You are cheap labour there for you are willing to work, for a citizenship outside of your own home country. People laugh at you yet you blind an eye. People scorn you and you scream in favour of meritocracy. People spit at you and ask you to go back to your own country, and you say that they are drunk.

Wake up! This is YOUR country!

I'm making a mockery of myself for being so patriotic, but the bottom line is, this is it, my home none other than Malaysia.

Call me stupid, but I'm here to stay.

My favourite patriotic song, Sejahtera Malaysia reflects my current feelings.

Puji dan syukur kepada Ilahi,
AnugerahNya tiada terhingga
Kedamaian, kemakmuran,
Malaysiaku bahagia


Dengan tekad untuk berjaya,
berbakti pada nusa dan bangsa,
kami junjung cita-cita luhur
perpaduan seluruh negeri,


seia, sekata sehati sejiwa
menghadapi cabaran,
kami setiap, kami setia
berkorban untuk negara


bersemarak, Malaysia tercinta,
kibarkan panji kebesarannya,
kami rela, menjaga namamu,
sejahtera Malaysia.
