Should I stay or should I go?

A fellow Malaysian asked me to forward an article she wrote to the MAM members.

Here is the link to the article:

She welcomes feedback from the readers. The feedback form is provided through that link too.

hmmmmm, we all face the same issues. As I have asked others before: "Why did you leave in the first place?" Usually it's because you need to get to college and you don't want to be a "katak di bawah tempurung" right? So you left and now that your eyes are "open", do you still want to go back to the tempurung? Probably not. You can always visit. You should also ask whether you (and your family, including your children's children in the future) will be better off here or back in Malaysia. I loved Malaysia but after 50 years of independence, the people are still playing racial politics for their own personal gains, where there is still discrimination in jobs, schools, business, buying houses, and when the crime rates are going sky high but the IGP still says the crime rate in Malaysia is better than Japan and Hongkong??? Do you want your kids to grow up thinking they are "second class"? Anyway, that's my two cents.
