My 2-cents after Bersih 3.0
I wish to pen down all my thoughts in Facebook but that would mean my status is infinite. So I decided this is the best platform.
Now friend, just because your daddy is one of the government's orang kanan, doesn't mean you have to go all out to protect the idiotic government. I think you as a graduate ( which I personally think all your tuition fees and living expenses abroad were borne by the rakyat very hard-earned money ) are not so foolish until you can't even distinguish whatever the current government does is really for their families and cronies or the rakyat. Oh perhaps 1% for the rakyat to cover the 99% for their families and cronies. Perhaps you're blinded by the huge mansion your daddy build for you, the super luxurious car only his son can afford, the annual overseas trips for your entire family, and the income 'generated' by your daddy that can last for generations. Now if those are the results of every sweat and tears of your daddy rakyat will just keep quiet. There is a huge frustration among rakyat because they know very well their very very hard-earned money is massively misused by the government. If only these amount of money is spent to support the pensioners and senior citizens, upgrade medical facilities in the countries so that everyone can afford quality healthcare;not only the loaded ones like you, upgrade education system and facilities that we may be able to produce competitive graduates to compete globally (come on, if our education system today is world-class as claimed by our DPM) name me ONE politician who sends his/her child to local government uni. Don't have right? Not even you right?), upgrade the countries transportation and infrastructure so that rakyat can live comfortably, etc. etc. Now with so many things that had got to be done and improved where the hell did your daddy got the money to buy you mansions, luxurious cars and overseas first class trips? Do you think all of that are necessary until the welfare of rakyat is brutally ignored?
which is why there's Bersih. Rakyat wants someone within their community to really take care of them. And I believe in every election they had voted the best person to represent them;only to ALWAYS have someone who is greedy, selfish, lazy, low IQ and EQ and self-centered to represent them at the end. This is the voice of rakyat. That the election results are really transparent and accurate. Rakyat are simply genius. They know who will really fight for them and who will not. So my friend, if you and your daddy are wise, listen to the rakyat. Never be slaves to power and money.

Hunminga
Hunminga (Poems for the Education of People)
1
My father bore me and my mother raised me.
Without my parents I could not exist at all.
How can I repay them for their incomparable and boundless love?
2
The sovereign is heaven and his subject the earth.
His Majesty wants to know everything we suffer from.
So how can we eat even green vegetables alone?
3
Brothers, feel each other's flesh.
Who bore you and made you look alike?
Grown up in the same bosom,
never be unfaithful to one another.
4
Devote yourself to your parents
while they are still alive.
What good is it to lament over their death?
This alone is your irrevocable duty in your lifetime.
5
Man and wife are created by dividing one body in two.
Together the two grow old,
together the two lie in the grave.
How foolish it is too scowl at each other!
6
Men detour from where women come and go.
Women stray from where men come and go.
It's only right not to ask even the name
of other's husband or wife.
7
How much has your son learned with Hyogyeong?
My son will soon finish reading Sohak.
When will they master the books and become gentlemen?
8
Villagers, let's act properly.
If we human beings act against humanity,
We may not differ from horse and ox
dressing and eating like man.
9
When an old man holds your wrist,
lend him your hands.
When he wants to go out,
follow him with a staff.
When the feast he attends at is over,
accompany him to his home.
10
Friends, next to your relatives, are the most reliable.
They are willing to point out all your errors and faults,
How can you act like a man without your dear friends?
11
Oh, my nephew, how miserable you have no rice to cook!
Oh, my uncle, how pitiable you have no clothes to wear!
Let me know what you want so I may take care of you.
12
How much will you prepare for your funeral rite?
When will you choose a spouse for your daughter?
Though I'm not well-off, I'll help you with pleasure.
13
Another day is breaking.
Let's go to the rice paddy with hoes.
After weeding my rice paddy, I shall help you weed yours.
On our way home let's pick mulberry leaves for silkworms.
14
Although you wear tattered coats, don't take others' by force.
Although you have little to eat, don't beg for your bread.
Once you are stained with dirt, it is hard to wash it off.
15
Don't gamble with dice or chess, nor start a lawsuit.
Or you will be driven to bankruptcy and earn many grievances.
Remember the state laws enacted to punish criminals.
16
Let me help you, sir,
carrying packs on your head and back.
As I am young, I can even carry stones for you.
To grow old is sad-how can I leave you alone?
