The "Appreciated" Pages

Thank you for visiting my blog.

I love Malaysia because of her many races: Malay, Iban, Indian, Chinese, to name a few; the colourful food; the drums and music; the colour of the sky; and the many different languages we speak!

THE GOVERNMENT FORMULA WORKS
The NEP has brought prosperity to all races
Read The Chinese Dilemma by Ye Lin-Sheng and
The Malay Dilemma by Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad

Quotes from The Chinese Dilemma, by Ye Lin-Sheng:

[When we keep an open and sceptical mind, we may see that the non-Malays have not had a bad deal in Malaysia. To those who disagree with me, my rejoinder is, look around the world. -- p.135]

[In finding fault with Malaysia, the Chinese (and Indians too) are also unwittingly influenced by Western rhetoric and dogma. Chauvinism and racial prejudice lurks in every nation. Yet the idea that Western democracies are somehow fairer and more tolerant dies hard. It persists in spite of evidence to the contrary. -- p.171]

["The Malaysian example...shows that, given rational and far-sighted governance, postive discrimination can lead to social harmony through shared prosperity." ~ Neville Maxwell, Visiting Fellow, Contemporary China Centre, ANU, Canberra]

I don't know much, but I know I must do these things:

1) Meet the needs and desires of my friends
2) Don't belittle people, but find ways to uplift them
3) Solve people's problems, walk into their lives; don't condemn them and leave them to dirt
4) Save people from danger
5) Support medical work to build a safer world, and use natural remedies more often
6) Explore my sexuality and be aware of its potential. Encourage everyone to do the same.
7) Rejoice when people are happy doing things that they love and that aren't harmful or damaging
8) Let children learn lots and lots of things, and teach them to be kind, sweet, gentle and honest
9) Don't hurt or harm people in any way, unless you have to stop them hurting or harming other people
10) Use tact, sweetness and logic in solving conflicts and disputes
11) Be thoughtful, kind and considerate; let love go around and come around. Don't make people hate life.
12) I have loads to learn from others, so I must be humble, teachable and patient. Arrogance and an exuberant ego ain't love.
13) Listen to and follow advice that is meant to sustain you and provide for your own good
14) There is pain and suffering in this world, because we do loads of foolish things, do not love each other enough, do not love the planet enough
15) Science has the answers, but we wield it stupidly. We should be more careful.
16) Sustain life, don't snuff it
17) Work hard, run the economy and take care of the environment so that love and sex can persist

...and last but not least...

18) I have a Maker (a Creator) and I'm here for a purpose: to meet someone else's needs. Each person has this sort of purpose.
19) I'm looking for the true 'God', and
20) I am a sexual being, and so is everyone else, girl and boy.
