We live in a culture where people are more offended by muslim touching a dog, christians using the word Allah and women not covering their aurat than they are by famine, warfare, poverty, discriminatory policy, misuse of power and the destruction of our environment.
We live in a country where seeing a policeman makes us nervous rather than feel safe.
We live in a nation where maknyahs have less rights than rapists and pedophiles. It is perfectly okay to kill, discriminate and hurt them as long as you justify your action by quoting your holy scripture.
We live in a society where everyone is interested in politicians' sex scandal. We are not interested in bread and butter issue, the rise of criminal cases and our civil rights.
We live in a country where homophobes, racists, sexists and religious bigots like Ibrahim Ali, Zulkifly Nordin, Abdullah Zaik have the freedom to threaten non-malays, accuse chinese as intruders and incite malays to burn malay-language bible but ordinary malaysians like you and me can't even question the injustices in this country.
