aku optimis

Current situation in Malaysia has forced all of us in Malaysia to be critical. Some of ppl's judgement are basically driven by emotions and some like i've mentioned are critical. I've found that many of the government's policies aren't popular and I'm forced to believe there must be reasons behind this.

But I am optimistic about the future of Malaysia. It's just that we might have to deal with the critical and difficult phase first and for sure we do not know (except God!) under whose leadership will Malaysia be brighter than she is today. Many intellectuals has predicted that this 21st century will witness a phenomena where the dominance of the west over the world is decreasing as other civilizations (Asians, Islam, etc) is becoming more powerful in terms of economy, military, etc. And our country, Malaysia is part of that civilization.

And especially for Muslims, there's a saying (hadith) by the Prophet Muhammad p.b.u.h:
"Islam during the end times (the last era before Qiyamah) will rise from the east".
And the east here refers to - Asia. And which part of Asia that has a number of Muslims? Definitely Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, some part of Thailand and Philippines. Doesn't that indicate that we are actually the hope of Ummah and it's best to not give up with what's happening now in our beloved country for there'll be an end for this (because I've heard some has thought of migrating to other country!) Everything will turn out good for everyone!

Well, only God knows best.
