Update

I apologized to those who have been faithfully visiting my site as I have not been posting quite as often these days. One reason is my lack of time and the other, well, there's nothing new really since what we have back home have always revolve around the same issues, i.e. corruption, race, NEP and religion.

I'm also thinking of shifting over to wordpress to give my blog a different look and feel. And perhaps through that I can also write on a more diverse range of topics rather than concentrating on just the usual Malaysian fare as mentioned above.

Anyway, I will let you know once I have made my decision.

Welcome to Malaysia

I once saw an ad promoting Malaysia on a TV station
Depicting beautiful sceneries that are found across the nation
People were dancing and smiling in combination
Dressed in costumes of different cultural orientation.

This is done in an effort to make the country a tourist destination
To get them to see, feel and taste everything Malaysian
On arrival, the first thing they experience is our humid weather condition
Queuing for a taxi, you can just see their trickling beads of perspiration.

Then, tourists would surely be aghast at our public transportation
As taxis refuse to ferry them to a tourist attraction
But to wait for a bus under our hot sun could mean heat exhaustion
Since when the bus would actually turn up is one big question.

Our public toilets are next to cause tourists to exhibit a horrified reaction
As wet, slippery and shoe prints all over toilet seats is the usual condition
Because no toilet paper in sight is also a common situation
Tourists certainly need to be reminded to carry some along for their own utilization.

Tourists must certainly be encouraged to try our famous food selection
Not at a high-class restaurant but a coffee shop or back lane operation
If they see a rat or two hurriedly scurrying away in one direction
Just tell them it’s probably nothing but a figment of their imagination.

Tourists must also be impressed by our excellent race relation
As they witness people of different skin colors working in collaboration
They certainly need not be made aware of our problems or actual situation
So, please stop quarreling and spoil our image as a Truly Asia nation.

Malaysia is of course, a very attractive destination
But if possible, we do need positive changes in every section
Seoul and Taiwan are but two which are very active in their promotion
We need the improvements to keep up with the competition.
