“I am often accused of interfering in the private lives of citizens. Yes, if I did not, had I not done that, we wouldn't be here today. And I say without the slightest remorse, that we wouldn't be here, we would not have made economic progress, if we had not intervened on very personal matters – who your neighbour is, how you live, the noise you make, how you spit, or what language you use. We decide what is right. Never mind what the people think.”

My heart goes out to those who lost their loved ones on board Lufthansa airlines and all these airline mishaps should stop....It seems like some mass killing only differently. Anyways, all that and then we have our very own GST issues... I do not have much to say because i think this gives us all a chance to study and research on what this GST is all about and knowing your rights is very very essential. Reading and searching opens up your minds to issues that are bigger and underlying this new implementation.
All i can say is, life must go on....as with everything that we have crossed paths with... Maths and Science in English or Malay....? Debate debate debate... MAS...where did MH370 go? Debate debate debate...theories theories...not found? MIA.... one year gone and we have all moved on... Oil Price increase/decrease....debate debate debate....and move on... So even now, all we need to do is move on and learn the art of survival... Just do what you need to do to survive. Save more, spend on important things and live within your means. Do anything and everything to upgrade yourselves to a place in life where no governmental decisions will affect you or your loved ones. Live simple, be humble.
Next is the video that went viral... MyChoice by Vogue and Deepika Padukone.... I loved the aesthetic value of the video... It was beautiful to look at but i have been waiting for an ambush by fellow netizens and it has happened... For every action, there would be an equal and opposite reaction. More so for this video of "MyChoice". I have always advocated women's rights and how they should be allowed to be themselves and they should not be subjected to any ridicule. In other words, a woman should be allowed as much freedom to be herself and embrace her individuality. But i was also very quick to understand that men and women are never equal... that is just the way God created this beautiful planet we live on. We need balance and hence men and women, Yin and Yang.
Two very different beings but the same species, and the basic rights to living a decent and happy life should be gender discrimination free. The problem with the video is that, the one advocating or giving voice is someone who is well educated and to whom many of the basic rights can be bought with the money and the influence that they have. The one advocating has everything she needs and is perfect. Just having a few commoners face in the video doesn't really show that we understand the rights that 80% of the women are seeking for. We didn't ask to sleep with other men or to be naked.. We definitely didn't ask for the rights to have pre-maritial sex .. It is an individual choice i must say and things like that happen but i guess what we are asking for or saying is that no one should be judged, male or female alike. It is their choice. We are in no position to comment let alone call names. Virginity is subjected to male and female.
Seriously, with all the basic rights that hundreds of millions of women in India and on the streets of some village don't have, such as the rights to education, the rights to choose their education path, the right to choose their marriage partner (let alone sleep with another men), rights to work or be employed..... This video should have not spoken about the rights to come home whenever you want when you are married....and the right to commit adultery? It is not only insane but nonsensical and insulting to some women.
That video definitely has a strong message but it should have been presented in a way that it didn't have to suppress the men or undermine them. Just like we say we have a choice, we should never forget that men have their choices too. Choices are independent of gender. This is my understanding and that video can be comprehended any other way. We should stop pitting women against men in this fight for some basic rights. We are all wise and we all should take responsibility of the choices we make. That is proper. When we talk about freedom and liberty to all our thoughts and actions, we should always remember to be bound by our values and culture.
Wo/MEN we should all embrace ourselves and be who we want to be. Being dark skinned or fair, a size zero or size fifteen... or men who wear your shabby pants out to the airport/mall/practically everywhere.....guys who listen to their mom....no one should be judged. It is counterproductive if no one sits and listens to one another and their choices. You have a choice to take it or leave it....so why fret. It all starts with listening and understanding. Liberty and freedom of expression and freedom of choice is equal for everyone and is independent of gender. Let us respect each others choices and find ways to be happy, healthy and wealthy!!
