Keeping the Children Safe should be the 1st Priority

As i sit to blog this entry, i caught myself staring at my pc screen wondering how i was going to express my disappointment with the crime & lack of responsibility in the country..........20 mins later.........................
My morning is a semi-long but leisure drive to KLIA, spare a few giggles when listening to the radio, singing along to some familiar tunes....but the happy morning, rise n shine feeling soon dissappear as i reach the KLIA toll. Oh wow, i think to myself...while i'm singing away in the car all perked up to start the day...Sharlinie's poster which is strategically posted at the window of the toll booth stares into my face. Then i sink into this sad & disturbed mood, as i collect my change frm the toll girl n driving away.
Are we as Malaysian's not responsible enough to even take care of our children's safety first before anything else in this world? I guess not.....I think the system has got to change towards parenting. We might think, we cant rule out certain things like the American's do....'kita ni lain, tak boleh macam tu'. That comment is a load of B.S! Take for instance how Britney was caught driving with a her son on her lap n she got a citation for that...i knw we're thinking, 'ala benda macam tu pun nak saman'....honestly, that shld be the way, parents should never take their children's saftey for granted.
We all have learnt and went through the ordeal with Nurin's kidnapping and cruel, sadistical murder. I blame the parents for allowing these things to happen...how can you let a chlid wonder around by herself anywhere, this is where we fail to understand. Y? Y? Y? After a shocking end to Nurin's life, yet another set of parents are oblivious to the last tragedy and still let their children out by themselves. This is where i think the system needs to change so that parents realizes the importance of RESPONSIBILITY....Im sick and tired of 'ni dah di takdir kan', another load of B.S! If you had gone to the market with them, to the park with them, watch & n actually spend time with them this whole thing can be avoided.
Since we are fond of leaving our children's safety to 'takdir', it also should be 'takdir' that the parents be arrested for doing so, its only fair....as a person, a woman, a wife, maybe a mother in the future... i will take that responsibility to my grave.
I hope and pray for Sharlinie's safe return.....

We all suffer from Schizophrenia

Freedom of speech? I dnt think so....its just 'said' that we have the 'freedom' of speech, but in actual fact its just to make us look good. Its like the budget airlines...as low as 1.99 - everyone can fly, its all a scam really. First of all, tax is not included which cost a bomb, then u gotta fight for your seat, endure the delay and forced to buy maggie mee, i apologize mamee @ rm5.00 a packet...!!
Common you gotta agree....it sounds a lil like our version of 'freedom of speech', u can say wat u want to say but hey u might be hunted dwn by the whole nation for speaking ur mind. When you portray yourselves and percieve tht you r the best, something is bound to go wrong. Right now is wrong, something is wrong somewhere but i think we are far from being fixed cos none of us have the 'freedom of speech' to get things fixed, cos my friends... you cld be punished for doing so. Sooner or later we will all suffer from schizophrenia....u hear things in ur head and wanna say it but if u do plp might think ur nuts and punish u for speaking aloud. Sucks, doesnt it!
My inner schizo is telling me tht, we as the plp dnt take enuf responsibility to make a better and safer plc for ourselves. We are to blame as much as the 'shell' supposedly keeping us as 1...we dnt take our kids safety seriously, plp can be shot in a lift, youngsters on bikes can rob & rape you, parents let their kids go to 'pasar malam' on their own...this really needs a aaaaaaaaaaarrrgggghhh!......whoa, tht feels good to get off my chest, tht's probably as far one can vent off. The current priority now is cutting dwn on cooking oil....please la, please.
Roughly 5 years bck we were better plp tht cared and took our future, lives and saftey seriously but now i dnt see the commitment tht makes you 'tearful', the passion is no longer there....now tht is smething tht we will never ever see again in our life time.
