I would like to think that our country's relationship with Indonesia is close and strong. However, maybe because of this closeness we take each other for granted. We start taking pot shots at one another without any consideration on how this is going to reflect us on the world arena and the impact on our so called close and strong relationship. Within a span of 2 week I can see in the media how poorly behaved we have been.
1st case: Manohara Odelia Pinot.
Indonesian model claimed that she was raped and tortured by husband. Now a medical examination confirms that it was true. Shame shame shame. Rape, torture and abused...have we flushed down civilised mentality down the toilet in Malaysia? Does being in a certain class in society allows you to thump over others?
2nd case: Abused maid.
It was reported yesterday a maid sought protection from the Indonesia embassy as her boss (a single mother) abused her and held her wages of 5 years. Are we treating maids like slaves? Aren't they human with feelings just like us? Just because we pay their wages doesn't mean it gives us the right to beat them and do as we pleased. I've seen many a times how maids are treated, they seem to work round the clock...no rest. Even the smallest of task is also given to the maid. Try switching places for a change...do onto others what you want others to do onto you. Maid abuse...this is not the 1st in Malaysia.
3rd case: Ambalat.
Fighting over oil. We seem to have provoked our neighbours countless times. Just get our borders fixed and agreed upon lah. Let the International Court of Justice decide if we can't. Susah susah patrol into disputed waters and almost got fired upon. Is war what we want?
There is no 2nd chance to 1st impression. Capt says Au Revoir.
