(As per my previous years, I’m continuing my writings for beloved Malaysia this 2011.. in conjunction with her 54th birthday.)
Dear Malaysia
You seem so cool when I was younger
You seem near perfect when from abroad
But now that we are together
The imperfections are clear
Racism
The antics of politicians
Rising cost of living
The 3 main things preventing from making you wholesome
Plus a few more..
All these easily blind me
From the beauty that you have inside
It takes more (effort)
To find those beauty now
Something that I keep reminding myself
To not forget
Cos I want to still love you
Like the way I admired you when young
Or when I look at you fondly when abroad
And the moments when we were reunited
So despite all these imperfections you have
I am choosing to see the other side of you
I still believe in you
And that you still boleh
But just remember
Don’t take too long to change those imperfections
But do it while the longing heart is still here with you
For Malaysia, I Still Love You
