I’m tired. I’ve been cooped up at home of almost 2 months (no different than anyone else). There’s blame going on between the people and the government. On one side, their oversight in trying to save the economy by letting big business run has caused an uptick in cases that we are unable to surpress. On the other side, we have people who still don’t understand the meaning of staying at home unless it’s necessary. So we keep spreading the virus unnecessarily.
I’m exhausted from reading headlines about the lack of accountability. People are dying in police custody, a teacher jokingly makes a remark about rape, our shortage of doctors are not being looked after, our media contributing to athlete pressure, innocent people fighting for the underprivileged are being charged in court…this list goes on.
I think it goes without saying that this pandemic has exposed systems that were already failing in this country but leadership is about taking accountability for it and wanting to do better. Acknowledgement at its basic form is necessary to create trust. Tell us you’re going to look into it, don’t gaslight us in thinking that we’re crazy because we deserve better!
Parliament is a circus because there are months worth of issues that everyone is trying to get out in the minutes they have on the floor.
People are angry, they’re annoyed, I’m annoyed. The only numbers that I look forward to every morning is our vaccination progress. It gives me some semblance of hope to be able to see my family in Canada or for businesses to open who have severely suffered during this lockdown.
I’m still optimistic and hoping that at some point we will all get on the same page and move forward because Malaysia is a fucking gem. For now, I’ll be cheering for our heroes in Tokyo Olympics, win or lose, nothing is more inspirational than watching someone dedicate themselves to be the best carrying our flag.

Although there are serious racial discrimination issues in America, but at least the country is still under the enforcement of strict laws and regulations. Finally the dirty cops had received a just punishment for his action. Justice has been served, George Floyd. You may now rest in peace.
Let us Malaysian continue to fight against racism and make this world a better place for all.

美國是一個很混蛋的國家,一天到晚干涉別國內政,各種欺壓,警察愛濫用暴力,還有各種種族歧視.... 但至少,它仍然是個法制國家!
很開心這起黑警殺黑人事件獲得圓滿的審判,最終黑警受到了法律的制裁,被判謀殺入獄40年,還了George Floyd一個公道!
希望馬來西亞反種族歧視繼續加油!消滅黑警!也希望世界各國每個角落正在承受著黑警欺壓和種族歧視的人們也跟我們一起加油!

人民發聲,政府傾聽;社會變革進展雖緩慢,但方向卻很明確。
美國人不必假裝我們總是對我們的政府表示同意或滿意,社會運動是美國人行使言論自由並要求民選官員負責的重要途徑。美國持續不斷的關於喬治·弗洛伊德(George Floyd)逝世以及警察暴力與和種族不公問題的抗議活動,是民權抗議悠久傳統的一部分,可以追溯到1963年在華盛頓特區舉行的大遊行,當年的遊行促使了《民權法案》的通過。近來在美國持續的抗議活動也導致了美國地方、州和聯邦一級政府的改革,以及商業界的變化。例如,美國的一些州禁止警察使用絞刑架,並更改了其「使用武力」的準則。立法者也簽署了一項法案,該法案將廢除紐約民權法第50-a條— 這是一項已有數十年歷史的法律,旨在保護警察免於被究責,並允許警察處分紀錄保密。許多美國城市已將補助從警察部門轉移到了社會服務部門。同盟旗已被禁止在美國軍事設施上使用,並從密西西比州旗上被移除。雖然我們仍有許多努力要做,但很明顯,我們的民選官員正在回應這場抗議運動的要求。

The people are speaking; the government is listening. The progress is slow, but the direction is clear. Americans don’t have to pretend that we are always in agreement or happy with our government. Social movements are an important way for Americans to exercise their freedom of speech and demand accountability from their elected officials. The ongoing protests in the United States over the death of George Floyd and the issues of police brutality and racial injustice are part of a long tradition of Civil Rights protests, dating back to the March on Washington in 1963. Just as the March on Washington can be directly linked to the passage of the Civil Rights Act, the ongoing protests have also led to reforms at the local, state, and federal level in the United States, as well as changes in the business community. Several states have banned the use of chokeholds by police and have changed their “use of force” guidelines. Lawmakers signed a bill that will repeal the 50-A legislation — a decades-old measure that protected police officers from being held accountable and allowed records of officers to remain secret. Cities across the United States have redirected funding from police departments to social services. The Confederate Flag has been banned on U.S. military installations and is being removed from the Mississippi State Flag. While we still have work to do, it’s clear that our elected official are responding to the demands of this protest movement.
