Education and Ethics.

Working in Berjaya Times Square isn't the ideal place for a conducive environment in terms of providing service based jobs.

Perhaps, not for me.

For PJ peeps, it's a close up and personal observation of the other "side" of Malaysians.

Where the community spits, utter vulgar language and draws out their cigarette bud wherever they like. Of course, over the years, the numbers of "them" has decreased but still, it's a plain ugly sight when they exhibit their immoral codes and values.

Is it just education or ethics? Or both?

The simplest things in everyday life, giving way when someone wishes to cut to the other lane when you're driving, queuing up for your turn when you're trying to buy a ticket, pressing the open button at the lift when someone is trying to enter before the lift door closes ..

There was a survey conducted here in Malaysia by foreigners, listing us as the world's top 5 rudest countries. Sure, there may be some flaws and loopholes in the survey but still, it shows Malaysia's moral codes and conducts. And for crying out loud, we're not a 3rd world country, we're a developing country. There's a huge difference in classifying ourselves and thinking that "It's okay lah." and continue doing what you've been doing.

The LRT system alone is so complicated, a 3rd world nation can't afford to hire foreign engineers and architects to construct something like that. Don't mention the Petronas Twin towers or Maxis for instance, these sort of industries wouldn't exist if have hardcore poverty on a LARGE scale.

The community has their fair share of responsibility to educate and install proper values and ethics into the minds of their children. However, from a bigger picture, it's the government that governs the people of the country. And the government needs a change.

So please, manipulate your education and VALUES, if you have any (I pray that you do), and make a change.

Thanks for your time.

God bless.
