Malaysia - the Truth that's hidden from all foreigners since independence in year 1957

i been working for about 8 years and still saving up money for my tertiary education - it truly frustrates me when I hear my students' parents (Malay ppl) who got free education to study in the UK (Mara loan converted to scholarship with just PASS in their degrees - similar case with my high school Malay friends). Each of them had used up to RM 700,000 (tuition, living allowances & stipent all paid by government - and they're just average students). I'm frustrated also cos I don't have 7% discount in buying properties. And of course, this is just one of the many policies of government that isn't siding equally amongst races in M'sia. It's so weird that we're probably the only country in the world where govt segregates us to races to apply different policies amongst said races. In other countries, even the mention of the word races in any way in job applications, etc would invoke legal actions.

Spur of Moment poem

Simple thing, where have you strayed
Back to those realms
Back to where I could dwell 
Is all but leaning on you 
Those days imprinted within fragments 
Of my very own memory 
You persists to sustain this 
Irreplaceable void no one can gain foothold on. 
- Sam, June 2012

3 Testimonials as of Nov 2011

I feel that the Lord keeps on reminding me to write this to give him due credit - I've been procrastinating o'er this for ages. 

Basically, this includes one which I've already told / shared with some of my contacts:

1. My video camera which costs me around RM 2,500 was completely spoilt and then got to functioning again about some time after I prayed to Him on how troubled I am about having spent so much and not having used the device enough (less than 20 times and just 13 months at that point in time).
   Repair by technician was quoted to be RM 1,000 minimum.
   When brought to another technician, as I was about to show the guy my device's problem, it just miraculously turned itself on when I pressed the power button. I tried many times before, even with changing of new battery previously, but it just wouldn't work. Credits to Him. 
2. I prayed for something very personal to my heart, and He gave me a FREE FLIGHT TICKET to London (return journey). 
3. I made a transaction online costing around RM 1,350 and wasn't charged a cent. I take this as Him blessing me as I've previously lost monies before due to me paying for a good which I not receive (RM 550) and also for some other losses like visa interviews with the US embassy). God knows our every situation, I read this o'er and o'er again and this leads to me believing more into that.
   

Resurrection of a video camera - True Story

The Lord had impressed upon my heart to testify this: My video camera (which cost me a bomb when purchased new) used less than 20 times and went faulty one month after expiry of warranty period. Wouldn't turn on, or recharge itself despite with replacement of a new battery in place - multiple attempts to no avail.


One month back, I went to a technician to show him the problem and as I tried turning it on, it worked flawlessly. Being in disbelief, I tried a few more times, and the same thing reiterated. I've never hear of such case happening to non-organic things, and yet the very first time I do, I had the privilege of it taking place in my life. He has indeed 'resurrected' my video camera.


And this came at a time of me being at pit bottom struggling with financial provisions.

I thank Thee.

And when you write- in to get a better explanation of what happened if your visa application ever get rejected, then what you'd get is typically a lazy vibe kind of reply, attached as below.
(Note: there's no appeal available after rejection - though you paid 450 - 534 bucks depending on their policy which changes from time to time).

Farewell, love, and all thy laws forever
Thy baited hooks shall tangle me no more
For hitherto though i have lost my time
Me list no longer rotten boughs to climb

One day I wrote her name upon the strand

I thought the passage below is really beautiful in projecting one of my many feelings upon a time. An excerpt though.

One day I wrote her name upon the strand,
But came the waves and washed it away:
Again I wrote it with a second hand,
But came the tide, and made my pains his prey.

Edmund Spenser (1552-1599)
