Stop Gambling

I do not agree.

Why do we have to legalise gambling just because we want to keep the money from flowing overseas and boost our economy? Is there no other way? Okay, maybe I  am not that good at economy but any sane people already knows that gambling is not good. It brings more harms than benefits. Maybe we can save billions of  RM from cashing out, but remember we have to deal with the aftermath. Billions of RM will be spend to lower the crime rate, to prevent graft, to stabilise family institution and so on. I am very sure we are at the losing end. 

Moreover, if gambling is legalise I am not sure if the local bookies will still invest their 'money' locally. Surely they will be betting in those lucrative foreign betting channels. And where is our RM, oops, its flowing out to overseas now.

Yes, Chinese love to gamble. It is their passion as long as it involves money. Well, not all Chinese have that passion. Just because few rich Chinese people (okay maybe 'few' is not the word) has the urge to gamble, doesn't mean we have to legalise it. As far as gambling is concern, there are more Malays buying that 4D in those sports TOTO outlets than Chinese. Okay, I don't have the statistics but just park outside those outlets and count how many Chinese and Malays. That is my statistics. Legalising sport gambling means we are producing more lazy Malaysians especially the Malays.

As far as economy is concern, I am sure that we have our way, Malaysian way, to best deal with our economy. Gambling brings more harm to our community. That is why Allah s.w.t prohibit Muslims to gamble. Let's bring end to this industry and invest more in producing more good-quality Malaysians.

What is happening to the young people nowadays? Okay maybe this is just one person and it is not a big deal. But I beg to differ. 

To see as young as 19 years old to commit suicide over rejection of relationship, I personally think it is a big deal. Teen age is a very crucial life stage. Teenagers are sensitive. They are rebellious. They want to be acknowledge and at the same time they do not want to carry out the responsibilities. Well most of them. And to add salt to the wound, societies tend to be cruel and not forgiving. We always being judgmental and seldom give chances to teenagers. 

To end your life over a girl or boy? Common, your life is worth much more than that. Life is complicated and hard. But don't focus on the negative. Life is more than that. Instead of burying yourself in the darkness why don't step outside. Life is fun. It is challenging. It is funny. It is adventurous. As Nick Vujicic (I hope I spell his name correctly) says, challenges are not meant to put us down, instead it build our character to become a stronger person (sound sort of like that).

I just hope that guy is safe somewhere else. If he is not, then it is our duty to reflect what should be done to prevent this from happening again.

Croc in a Drain

 (Taken from The Star)

 Are you kidding me? Catching a crocodile in a drain? That's like catching a lion in a football field. Fortunately the grandpa and his two grandson able to subdue the beast.

If you think about it, why should the crocodile end up in a drain? Are river banks no longer comfy as laying ground? Maybe there is something wrong with river? Or maybe the crocodile is playing hide and seek and instead it was caught hiding by those not so  supporting grandpa and grandson. Common, give the croc a chance. I mean it is not that often you see a croc in a drain. I will be very suprised if a 2.5m crocodile sun-bathing near my house drainage. Well, it is a chance to get one-time popular.Call everyone in vicinity and try to get as much media coverage to the event.

Really, people need take care of the river. Stop polluting our river or eventually we will encounter more incident like this. Can wait for a lion to show up in a football field? Gee.. wonder how people gonna wrestle up the beast?
