Where's the voice of silent majority?
This is an eloquent statement from a fellow Malaysian.
If truly we see a Bangsa Malaysia as being ‘one nation, one people’, then we have to start being just that.
One nation, one people.
But it cannot start and end at this Merdeka get-together.
We must take it beyond.
Bangsa Malaysia Merdeka should not be about an echo-chamber of people who have good food, moving speeches, putting faces to cybernames, camaraderie amongst the like-minded, sing songs, make stirring pledges, and then go home, pat ourselves on our backs and say a silent prayer for Bangsa Malaysia.
Yes, many among us care for the country in our many ways.
Yet, many withdraw themselves to their cosy enclave out of a sense of hopelessness. Out of fear.
Fear and a sense of hopelessness often comes from thinking that you are alone in standing for what is right and just.
God willing, we will soon discover, not in cyberspace, but in the real world, that there are far more of us who aspire to a fair and just Malaysia then there are those who aspire to keep us divided.
Yet the real world rarely hears the voice of that silent majority.
"I know that we share the same hopes. I know we can move beyond merely hoping," Haris said.

In singapore, the elites who run the country are silenced by the government who gave them a pay that exceeds expectation so that many will think twice before raising any dissent.
In malaysia, the voice of th silent majority are silenced by a barbaric mob who will not hesitate to lynch by words or actions any act of dissent against the ruling party.
hence the internet is a convenient medium to express our inner thoughts, and it would be a mistake for any ruler to ignore its contents.

The Cries of a Shackled Citizen
I looked to the clouds above
And found the answers to life
But when I turned my gaze earthwards
The answers were all drowned
Amidst the drudgery
Of struggling for survival
To live from day to day
Keeping my nose above the waters
Bolting my doors
Against the wolf of inflation
That threatens to swallow the fruits
Of my blood, sweat and tears
The grains for my golden years
And I pray that my country
Would not be run to the ground
By bigots, liars and thieves
Masquerading as leaders
And champions of their communities
Beseeching citizens to mix racially
While creating walls to separate them
Threatening the book of ISA and sedition
At those who dare question their actions
Preaching piousness and honesty
While plundering the public coffers
They should be protecting
Under the guise of development
They preach righteousness
Loyalty and adherence to the rule of law
While wealthy felons pay their way
Out of judgment
To freely commit more sins
But the shackled citizen
Hears no voice speaking out for him
For it is drowned by a rowdy mob
Paid for by impunity
