The Change.

United States of America, from a humble beginning where the nation grew up with struggles. Struggles if being experienced by other nations who may not survive as the outcome. A superpower nation today with its advance technologies, services, liberation, freedom as well as a nation with diverse cultures. Once before that people were God fearing be it as normal citizens or in the senate or perhaps in the high positions. With the dollar note that writes "In God We Trust". Has the nation gives its 100% trust in God? Or has it gave other percentages to gadgets, law suits or just being in its comfort zone?

Almost 9 years ago since the 9/11 incident that struck the States and around the globe. During that period of time people scramble back into churches and rededicate their lives to God. Down the road after a few years, more or less is back to square one altogether again. Perhaps there are drop outs in church. People tend to stay at home and watch the abundance of television series available. Even though they still have the faint remembrance of the fateful 9/11 incident which did changes their lives a little but to maintain that faith "level" was not that long. And with the recent attempt of the car bomb which utterly failed (probably due to the prayer of the Christians) that the disaster did not take place. Did it ring a bell to the people? From news reports it seems that life is back to usual.

With prophecies looming in that a natural disaster may hit and with prayers withholding the natural disaster form happening people should come to realize that God is in control and the everyday reminder probably best being implemented in their currency, "In God We Trust". Is their trust really being placed in God?

It can very well be a good example for everyone. That really we must not take God's grace for granted. A superpower nation that needs to bow down before God and repent. Before God's blessing and covering is being lifted. We need not need a big impending problem or disaster to wake us up from our slumber towards God instead, we need to take our own initiative to go to God. With the uncertainty of the stability of the earth today, time is indeed ticking on. Ticking till Christ returns. Are we ready? Or are we still "asleep"? It's time for a change. U.S. asked for change but all in all they themselves have to change in their trust in God.

Temptation vs Corruption.

Guess this post will be my first in talking about issues happening around us. For the start, I'll talk about corruption. This action can be considered happening perhaps every minute or hour throughout the day, in the whole nation. Be it in politics or with the law enforcement officers and so on. Malaysia so far for the past few years has been talking to eradicate or to cut down on corruption. Even though with campaigns being launched here and there as well as some arrests of some people. Personally, I don't seem to see much change. Slogans and campaigns that was set up and efforts to curb that is all down into the drain. Easily overrun by these two aspects which is greed and mindset.

To curb corruption is not only the government's job but it is also the citizen's job as well. If the citizens of Malaysia do not put in the effort to even cooperate with the government, whatever government that are being elected for 100% guarantee that the issue will never be solved. Mindset, people nowadays want the easy way out and do not want to have any troubles even though they know very very very well that whatever they are doing is wrong. Let's take the simple case of traffic summons. A speed trap, driver being caught speeding and stopped by police during a roadblock. Police officer asks what can be done driver just offers a sum of money and is being let off the hook. So who's at fault here? Most would say the traffic police who usually hints in wanting cash.

The main problem is that people do not want to acknowledge themselves at the fault which turns out to be the driver in that case. If the driver does not offer the cash to the police and if all drivers being caught for speeding or whatever law they broke they just take the summon as it is to me corruption for that will gradually go down. Is just like to eliminate the population of rats in the house is to block out all food available to the rats and their number will dwindle. If traffic offenders keep bribing the police how do you think that the police will stop asking for money?

Be it in normal traffic summons or politics it's the same thing altogether if the people just stop giving money just to get out of trouble. Which in other terms show they are "cowards" and do not want to face the punishment of breaking the law when they had the guts to break it in the first place.

Greed is also another issue which can eventually lead to continuous corruption. In the society today for sure majority feels that they have not enough. Mostly due to being materialistic. Without greed and the carnal nature of wanting more be it cash or some other material things, corruption can also be cut down. Money politics will soon come to an end. All in all it comes to the people in this nation who are willing to stand up to their moral values be it in whatever society or class they are at as long as they have a firm foundation in morality temptation will not come in so easily. The decision is the rakyat to choose. Are we going to stop corrupting each other for a better future?
