It’s the wrongful practice of democracy
That drives everyone who’s rational crazy
Let’s pray that all citizens are not too busy
To cast their votes and prove they’re not lazy

You’re right! Racial sentiment is still an issue in our beloved country.

Definitely not democracy when only one race can be the PM, or when so called meritocracy did not admit the best brain into local Universities.

I had a friend, who despite having a string of 11A1 in SPM and a very good curricular track record, was not offered JPA scholarship after SPM. One of the most respectable and sweetest girl in the whole school, she became quite recluse and kept to herself for almost half a year before emerging as the 3rd best scorer in Taiwan’s university entrance exam later. She was offered to study medicine in Taiwan, which she gladly did. Oh, did I tell you – she didn’t get the JPA because she only got an A2 in Bahasa Cina SPM. Of all the 200 plus students who opted to take Bahasa Cina SPM in my school that year, only 2 managed to get A1. Tell me – democracy ? meritocracy ?

Democracy my foot, poorah !
