Seriously, i got a huge concern about the society at the moment.. em, on 2nd thoughts, not just at the moment, perhaps it will persist til the end of my time.
And my concern is, the number of retards in this world are increasing fast, quite alarming if you ask me. The 'retards' that i am talking here, are not those born with mental retardation (for those who fall under this category, u definitely got my upmost symphathy) but rather those who are born with perfect mind capacity but they chose to act like retards.
This is what frustrates me the most. There are times where u feel confident doing something, but yet it is ruined by retards. There are times where u anticipate that there are retards in the world and u work hard to cover for them. But yet u still phail ( not typo, intended ) because there are just too many of them in this society. I am sure u readers did encounter such a situation before huh.
Okay, enough for the introduction of my today's post. Yesterday when i was reading one of the local newspaper, some how, one of this article title catches my attention.
'ISA has made country more peaceful'
The first impression when i saw it, i was like... wtf?! I dont know if the author/writer was being paid to come out with this shet in the newspaper as some government propaganda?! Okay, this actually strengthens my point the fact that, the number of retards are increasing and the writer here is one of them. He is trying to tell everyone that he very appreciate that ISA is here in the country to keep things in order. >.>
What a fcking retard we got here.. ISA is one of the MAIN reason why ppl holding protests on the street, to push the government to abolish it. How can the writer turn around and say that ISA made the country more peaceful huh? Okay, maybe recently there are a lot of so called terrorism activities going on around the world. Maybe we do need an Anti-Terrorism Act or something equivalent, at least it is a more specific type of act. But the way ISA was drafted is too wide, and almost anything under the sky can be used as grounds for national security.
For those who are not from Malaysia and dont know what does ISA means, nvm.. i will briefly explain what is ISA all about. ISA means 'Internal Security Act' , a piece of legislation which is draconian in nature. It empowers the home minister to order for detention and put any individuals into prison without trial as long as he felt that the particular individual is a treat to national security. Well, the Act itself did not define what does national security means, hence this power were abused by the government to shut up those who oppose the government. U dont need to look like Osama Bin Laden to be detained unlike the pic i got from the internet:
If u are born to have the similar look like him and u get caught becuz of that, then i got no complaints at all k? too bad lor, what to do
To put it simple sense, if the government wants to put u in jail, they can.. all they need is to come out with a ridiculous reason and detain u in jail on grounds of national security. To make it worse, if one is being detained under ISA on grounds of national security, the home minister can first put one into jail for 2 years and it can be renewed perpetually even for the next 1000 years. The only check and balance for this mechanism is under the application of habeas corpus to the court (illegal detention) which hardly works because the judiciary are quite reluctant to actually interfere with the executive powers. And the other mechanism is... by way of public scrutiny.
The problem about public scrutiny is that, malaysians tends to forget about one incident when a a few new incidents pop up in their lives. After some while, the public wont even bother to mention about it.
Lets take one of the incidents where ISA being invoked to put ppl into jail. One of the most ridiculous reason that ever came out by home minister when a whistle blower ( a journalist/reporter ) was being detained when she reported that one of the minister made some racism remarks which subsequently angered certain communities in the society. The reason given was to 'give protection' to the reporter, that is why she was 'protected' when being put into jail. Even someone with a peanut size brain could have come out with a better reasoning, and what saddens me is that, such reasoning came by a minister of malaysia. T.T (thank god he is no longer holding any minister post NOW )
This again, enchance my point that the level of retardation of certain ppl are really untolerable and it is increasing. And what saddens me the most is that, although there is so much a person can do about it, but theres also a certain limit to what a person can do. Unfortunately, there are times when u just cant do anything about it.
There is a thin fine line between stupidity and retardation. And it is often being mixed up and the terms being used inter-change-ably The difference between the both of it is that, if a person is stupid, it still can be 'cured' though one might not be transformed into a genius. But when comes to retardation, especially those who chose to be a retard, theres nothing u can do about it.
Okay, to wrap up my post today: do everyone's a favour, dont be a retard. Think before u do or say anything.
Lastly dont adopt the phrase 'if you cant beat them, join them'. It doesnt work that way.
