近水楼台，太近了。。。

語源：《清夜錄》，是記述宋朝名臣范仲淹的故事。

范仲淹在杭州任知州的時候，城內許多僚屬，
都因為得到他的賞識，而獲得晉升的機會，
當時有一位名叫蘇麟的人，正在杭州的外鄉作巡察，
卻沒有機會得到他的推薦而感到悶悶不樂。
有一天，蘇麟因事要到府中洽辦，便乘機獻給范仲淹一首詩，
其中的兩句是：「近水樓台先得月，向陽花木易為春。」
意思是說：靠近水邊的樓臺，因為沒有雜物樹枝的遮擋，
總是先照到陽光，或是從水面見到月亮的倒影，
而面向陽光的花木，也因為先受到春光的滋潤而欣欣向榮。

後人就以這句話，來比喻因為人事接近或環境與職務上的便利，而先得到別人所得不到的東西或利益。

Dear Malaysians,
What happened recently in our homeland really sadden my heart.
Everyone seems to be pointing finger at each other.
The lust for power is so strong that it has already affecting the people, the ordinary citizens that are working hard for their life.

Dear leaders of Malaysia,
This is just a point of view from me.
I was taught that we are supposed to be a harmony country with multiracial.
I was taught to be honest and yet considering for each other no matter who or where they come from.
I was taught that we are to respect each other.
All these were taught in school i believed that everyone is having the same education.
In a way we show to our children that all these are just teaching in schools and yet we can just ignore them. Remember that we are the living testimony to them.

Let us go back to the original point of your intend.

Why do you want to be a leader ?

Is it to serve the country better or for your own personal gain ?

Let's think of how we want people to treat us and act it to people that way.
It is not a matter of saying something hurtful and inconsiderate and then apologized later anymore.
be it Malay, Chinese or Indian we are all the same.

The next generation is watching you adults behaving.
Let us make Malaysia a good place to live in instead of an international laughing stock.
