Power Game- Perceptions

 

Sejak diperkenalkan pada awal 2000an,  jurang hubungan diantara  manusia sedunia telah menjadi semakin tiada bersempadan.Sesuatu peritiwa yang berlaku dibenua jauh daripada tempat kita bermastautin dalam beberapa minit mungkin boleh diketahui oleh kita disini. Tiada yang tidak kita ketahui, sekiranya kita  rajin melayari platform berita dan sosia media.

 

Siapa sangka ya? 

 

Pada awalnya ianya hanya berita. Tetapi platform ini dimaksimakan penggunaannya bagi kepentingan semua yang bermotif. 

Tak hairan if the game of perception is at its max. We can create stories and there will be the believers and the haters, the keyboard warriors.

Thus, what I am trying to point out is if people keep doing things the ‘old’ conventional way, especially those up there, it is most difficult not to have insults  and comments hurled  at you, especially if people sensed the pretensions that you are displaying. You want to be seen , you jolly do it the right way, not just pretend to be seen doing things.People can no longer tolerate  the old way of telling us that you are doing  “good” . The power of voices across the nation is telling us all ‘we have had enough” Things have got to  change, people that we voted in have to be seen doing things for the benefits of the nation not be seen for the benefit of their personal gains. Power is no longer money. Power is sacrifices, hard work , thinking out strategies that are going to benefit the people. The freedom of speech has to be tolerated, no more threats and jail sentences to shut them up everytime something is said that you do not agree with . People are longer   scared to voice out, to be heard by others.  The momentum is picking up. Please, for God’s sake, no more finger pointing at others. No more racial issues to win people over. We are fine.All of us. It’s you people who created this ‘tension’ between races . Because you want to remain in power and reap the maximum benefits for yourselves. 

 

Yes this is what we perceived.  Proof us wrong!

 

 

Anything goes. People can take matters into their own hands. We can churn out punishment and viral the actions for the world whole to see. That is being sadistic.

The cycle repeats . Initially you wonder where did you went wrong. But after a while and after the prayers it became really clear that I am dealing with an adult, who is married with responsiblities.  He knows his responsibility as an adult, as the head of the family. He sees that in his father . Like all of us, we all go through life making mistakes and making sucesses. 

 

I pray to Allah that he will be given hidayah, to realign himself back into the folds of the true teachings of islam and the rituals that one need to follow in order to taste the sweetness of the Judgement Day.

 

May Allah swt bestow  him His Blessings and hidayah to all in the family. May he realise that there must be a balance of the world life and the after life. 

 

One day you will tell your story of how you went through and it will be someone else’s survival guide.

Remembering those loved ones , closed friends, collegues at work, ex students and those who succumbed to the deadly virus and those who survived the ordeal. 

 

And remembering those who succumbed to the devastating floods that caught us off guard. Didn’t think it would hit our shores.And hats off to all fellow malayisans who went into the 5^th gear to help out those in dire straits. There were too many  who lost everything in the floods, lock stock and barell. 

 

My heart goes out to  that sweet lady who lost her husband  just about one week of marriage.To read and know of persons trapped in their cars on  roads that were inaccesible to any traffic. To those persons, the elderly , the young babies and children who escaped to the rooftop of their houses,  for long long hours before help finally arrived.

 

Many were seen to have gone out of their way to render help in whichever way possible. Donations from the public reached almost a half of a million ringgit within a space of a few hours of announcement of request for donations.

 

Sadly, many too were seen to have not done enough. Red tapes, bureacracy, the old way of doing things. Publicity press conference, for the political mileage?? To be seen as the persons in authority. You don’t  need to tell you are in control. You were given the votes by the people to serve them!  People need help, not lip service!! Your days will be  numbered,if you insist on doing things your way. Sorry!!

 

It is predicted bt the Mets people that there will be a second wave of big rains in the next couple of days. And this time around it is expected to hit the northern states of the peninsula. Well Allah swt knows best.

 

As for now, lets  embrace the uncertainty and make the most of  the gap between now and then. When nothing is certain, everything is possible. 

 

Wallahuallah.La hawla wal quwata illa billa . There is no might nor power except with Allah.
