Disappointment
Thanks to papa, I reached the campus rather early today. Yesterday was rather hectic that I collapsed on yay desk again and again while trying my best (or maybe not) to figure out on how to restrict certain constraints for users to key in the right I/C number into my database assignment. I tried to outline a small part of the assignment's SQL commands, and I'll try them after my classes later.
Which reminds me, I have to get my certificate as a peer mentor from the Department of Student Affairs as well. That's for the latter though.
Since papa fetched me to the university today, I managed to find myself a spot to sit at and blog right now. Though it is rather saddening to see other tables having rubbish here and there, or having cans of soya drink on the tables.
Seriously, leaving your mess to other people and cause them trouble, and you call yourself as a university student? Also, the usage of toilet. From what I heard from the male lecturers, the gents room is rather unsightly. The female restrooms aren't that terrible, but the flush will never work. No wonder the university spends so much to hire cleaners and all students are being billed with increased service charges every year.
It isn't about the university, the habit of throwing rubbish everywhere is rather common among Malaysians, sadly to be said, but it is rather true. It is pretty easy to see people throwing tissue papers from their car windows during a road trip. It isn't difficult to carry one or two plastic bags in your bag, then putting your rubbish in the bag and throw it into a bin after getting out from your car, is it really that difficult, Malaysians?
Even in cities, littering is even easier to be seen. Throwing bus tickets or tissue papers, or the head of your cigarette... The bins aren't that difficult to find in a city, right? There is always a rubbish bin at almost every bus stop or shop, and of you really couldn't find one, put them in a small plastic bag, carry them to your house or company or the nearest place with a dustbin to dump it off! It's just too saddening to see our country to be called as a developing country and yet the citizens aren't even acting as if they are civilized.
And most are educated, and it is seriously disappointing.
None of our religions taught us to leave our own matter to other people, and none of our textbooks in schools have taught us about littering around, or throwing rubbish from the windows of our vehicles, too. So why doing so while you are calling yourself educated? Shame on you!
If you, Malaysian, is trying to initiate a change for our government's politics and calling them dirty... You need to change yourself, too. Change your mindset of letting everyone else tidy up your mess, and change your attitude that you are being prideful as a educated person, because you aren't going to help the nation if you still don't know what you are supposed to do to help the country.
What I'm trying to say is that, if everyone are changing for the good, we can be united, and our country could be much better than any of you could think. Heck racism, heck the skin color, heck the accent that we have! We are all Malaysians with the same goal -- Hoping too be able to live in a peaceful environment, no?
So why not initiating a change now?
