What is wrong with our country? Below are my opinions:

1. We do not uphold the true principle of a democracy. Some of us choose to bend and twist the law to suit our own political objectives.
2. We do not reward people based on merits, so we do not have the right people for the right jobs.
3. We do not reward people generously based on their contribution to the society, so we are faced with an acute shortage of people like teachers, police and health workers.
4. We do not pay our politicians and public servants well enough to stop them from being corrupt.
5. We are not committed to fighting corruption. The authorities would rather go after the small fries and let go of the big fish.
6. We are not investing enough on our future. Look at the school system for example, classes are over crowded with inadequate teachers.
7. As Malaysians we are too contented and very short sighted. We lack a global perspective on many important issues affecting us.

Note: I will add to this list from time to time.

I read in the Sin Chew Daily this morning the story of a girl with many lovers.

It is reported that this girl who is divorced with a few kids courted three men with promise of a marriage.

From the report (if the allegations are true), I gathered she is very "talented".

But I wondered why she wasted her talents on doing something unethical…

With her "talent" perhaps she should venture into something more rewarding e.g., set up a marriage agency (in view of the large number of unmarried single men/women who need professional help)?
