Malaysia.. religion, media and the people...

The whole country was shocked when the news about a few churches been vandalised.. But actually, I guess some of us sees it coming. It started off with the disputes about the use of 'Allah' and later on became a more serious problem. However, I sees it coming as 'something' that 'someone' will do to spark things up and make matter worst. Although a lot of ppl will assume that maybe some fanatic muslims did it, I dont really think so. It can actually be anyone that just want to make things get bad between the religions and races. We are having a 1 Malaysia campaign going on and something like this suddenly happened. Some might blame the Goverment, but actually the government is us! thats democracy. Are we, Malaysian, only play our role as a citizen by just voting? I believe it means much more than that to claim yourself as a good citizen. Play your role wisely my friends...
Sometime we need to put aside the media and put our own experiences as our term of reference. The main objective of media is to make money as that is their key for survival. If not, their company will 'roll their mat/rug' or Gulung Tikar. =P
Sometimes they are not even ethical as last week one of the local newspaper publish a photo of believed underage maid that burned down her employer house in Terengganu. Is it that hard to sensor a face? every other newspaper manage to do so but one newspaper, sadly a Malay newspaper, failed to do so.
Being practical and rational is the best thing that every Malaysian can do right now...
