Oh, When Will A Leader Emerge Who Would Unite Bolehland?

When you have a leader who, instead of trying to unite and bring together a diverse, multi-racial and multi-religious nation, says things, wittingly or not, that could very well encourage crazy people to do crazy things, you can't expect Bolehland to be united.

There will always be people who would jump at the slightest hint to do just what should not, and would not, have happened if the leader is more circumspect, and wise, and concerned about unity and harmony among its diverse citizenry.

It is very hard to understand why a leader would say things that he knows, or should know, would put just those ideas into the heads of some crazy people to do crazy things.

Ordinarily, Bolehlanders aren't looking out for trouble or itching to start one or to disrupt harmony.

It is the politicians who are often the cause of trouble, playing politics to suit an agenda or gain brownie points.

In a multi-racial and multi-religious country, used to decades of brain-washing along racial and religious lines by politicians, all it needs is a little indiscreet comment or remark by a leader to spark trouble.

Oh, when will a leader emerge who would have the wisdom, and, most importantly, the will, to finally put a stop the politics of race and religion and say enough is enough, Bolehland is one country and all its people are Bolehlanders one and all. 

Amen.

Kluang was a sleepy hollow, but is fast becoming a bustling town. You can't miss the bust-shaped gunung Lambak lording over the place and the town is well known for its tv brand coffee powder

Kluang RailCoffee
The Kluang railway station coffee shop, now re-branded Kluang RailCoffee, is well known for its cuppa of coffee and the charcaol grilled piping hot buns oozing with butter and kaya...It used to attract standing-room only crowds. It still does, but the last time I was there it wasn't a good experience for me. The famous coffee had somewhat lost its oomph and even the buns...The shop has a long and noted history being first opened for business in 1938 and the place is now run by the 3rd generation LIm family. I hope the next time I return, the coffee would regain its oomph. Click to read more...
