I was thoroughly going through Raja Petra’s website (Malaysia Today) and had a good read on a few of his blogs today.
Those that I read were rather amusing, nevertheless a good read. Most were exactly what I had in mind with regards to the so call justice and fairness that are being served in this country.
Some articles nearly brought me to tears, not because his articles was sentimental or heart warming but because I became even more disappointed with the country that I was born and grew up in. I became even more disappointed that truth has been reveal – there is no fairness and no justice (which is rather contradicting to what all these years our government had been telling us – unity).
What hurts more is that Raja Petra spilled the beans that Kelab Penyokong Maya Umno was using the name of Christianity as a mean of hurling insults at him. They have liken Christianity to be something terrible and worse than a crime. What hurts me was that nothing was done about it. What hurts me is that, we cannot say anything bad about Islam unless we want to get thrown in jail but we have to allow these freaks to lash out everything against other beliefs. Police report can be made against those who question Islam or insult Islam and they can be nabbed and jailed.
Where is the justice? Where is the fairness? Where is this so called “Malaysian Truly Asia”, “Malaysia, a peaceful and harmonious country” and “Malaysia is a warm and friendly country”? Where is it?
I’ve been on this earth 27 years and I hear all the good stuff about this country. I love this country so much that I know I want to grow old and even be buried here. But racism is every area possible sickens me so much that given the choice, I do not want my children to live in this country. There is no place for non-Malays in this country, there is no future here for the next generation.
It hurts so much when the truth is reveal so much. It hurts even more when you know that no matter what, as a Christian, we have to pray for this country. We have to pray for this nation. We have to bless our leaders (even though they are so corrupted and they are the ones who said we must irregardless of race unite but on the other hand brandishing their keris and say that they will bathe in the blood of the Chinese).
Now, this is truly a test – submit to those whom God has placed above you. Submission no matter what the cost and no matter how the pain. But remember to always make a stand if there’s anyone, trying to be funny with your God.
For the coming Merdeka Day – our 50th actually, I just wanna share with you a song by Don Harris and Marti Nystrom (1995). A song of prayer for our nation. I remember leading this song many many years ago.

The eyes of the Father
Runs to and fro
He’s searching the earth
He’s looking for those
Who makes intercession
On behalf of their nation
Those who will rise and pray
We’ll stand in the gap
On behalf of our land
We’ll stand in the gap
On behalf of our land
Down on our knees
We’ll make a stand
And there intercede
For our land
We’ll pray for the needs
Of our land
