What is happening to my Malaysia?

This weekend has been quite a thought stirring one. Not to mention one that brought about feelings of disappointment, frustration and curiosity. What was the culprit? : Civilization + Mindset change.

They say that along with the advancement of technology, everything changes. An upcoming town center will change the scenario of the town, but sadly never the towns people. That is exactly what is happening in the scenario of the world. While i was coming back with a colleague on Thursday morning from Kuantan, we talked about work ethics, about justice at the work place, about favouritism, about a just appraisal, about brain drain, about methods to stop brain drain etc.

At the end of it all, it left me wondering, ' when will our mindset change'? And then today, when i switch on the television, i see scenes of the protest in Malaysia being aired on Al-Jazeera. And while everyone who is on the government side, is wondering why this, i who am also on the govt side am wondering, why are the muslims causing the downfall of Islam? Do people not realize that, one by one, all the muslims countries seem to be in turmoil right now? Iraq, Afghanistan, then Iran had issues, Indonesia, Pakistan, Lebanon and the list goes on....Now , it is Malaysia. Are we implementing someone's plan? Mostly, the culprits behind all the chaos in these countries, are the Muslims themselves. I am a Muslim and i am asking, instead of supporting your own Islamic country, instead of ensuring a good education for your children, instead of working hard to make a decent and lawful living, instead of proving how beautiful a religion Islam is, why are we causing riots and chaos and giving the others a chance to see the bad side of Islam, which has never existed but made to exist by us? The beauty in the religion has been tainted by OUR behaviour, OUR actions.....God says, fight with knowledge,fight with truth....the superior ones in history have always been the ones who have invented things, the ones who have found countries, the ones who have made a stand, the ones who have ruled gloriously and conquered bravely...not those who have cowardly created riots, caused harm to others, those who have cause innocent blood to flow free but those who have used their knowledge, facts and truth to make a stand and gain respect.
Lets prove to the world , the beauty of this religion, by proving our capabilities to the world, by increasing the literacy level in our countries, by producing more graduates who can teach and lead the future generation, by stabilizing our current economy, by increasing and encouraging morality among the youth, by doing charity and showing benevolence to decrease poverty among all human beings, muslim or not, by having more diplomatic ties with other islamic countries and by supporting our fellow Islamic countries against the others (for a good course, of course).....we need to get out priorities right. If we can do these, we can be at par with other countries, if not economically, or technologically but intellectually......
I hate to see that, after years of independence, after so many talked about technological advancement, after multiple visits to the moon, that racism still exist...the colour of ones skin is still used to differentiate people and capability....that we are still claiming our nationality without truly meaning it, with no colour, education,status or even language barrier amongst us. When will we stop polluting the environment, and realize its importance? That what is gone, is forever gone....Whose earth is this anyway?
