Vandalism

“What was supposed to be a simple and harmless voter registration exercise in Malacca turned unruly last night thanks to some Umno Youth members who allegedly kicked and damaged a table.”

The sentence above is adapted from a topic in malaysiakini.com, entitled “Pakatan Reps Bullied By Umno ‘Thugs’”.

Reason of the incident is currently unknown, but damaging a table is lame not nice. Committing vandalism shows one’s rude behaviour. Only those who are retarded did not go through moral education will commit such a shameful act.

See? Just because of a few members’ rudeness, UMNO once again made their “debut of the day”. Although known as Malaysia’s largest political party, there have been lots of negative news about them. It is sad to hear that the founder of ruling party have such uneducated members.

Besides this vandalism case, we have heard news such as minister making lewd hand gesture in Parliament. There are also people who describe the Parliament as zoo. I have seen the scenes of Taiwan’s Parliament brawl, and realised that it is embarassing to have such news exposed worldwide. Does our government learn lessons from bad examples?

There have been programmes such as Rakan Muda which are meant to promote youths who are capable to lead the nation. Apparently all these activities have failed. I took part in one of these programmes and I did not learn anything. The programme was broadcasted live on TV1 due to presence of a few dreadful young singers. What happening at the back was people who behaved like monkeys, throwing water bottles with cap removed towards each other. Fortunately, the broadcasting crews knew that those were shameful acts and decided not to show them to the public.

With this vandalism case as one of the latest negative news, I hope that everyone would think twice before doing something. Every single action can affect the country’s fame. Please be a considerate person and do not make the others suffer consequences of what you have done.
