Today, the public was astonished by the Head of State’s
speech at the national parliament. I missed the live broadcast though. In lieu,
I read Facebook postings showing a copy of the whole texts. I now have a little
to post about. The news is extremely political; perhaps only politicians, and
political observers can judge whether his speech contains a hidden political
agenda or is objective reacting to the current lagging development stride we
are making as a new and proud nation.
I am NOT interested, at all, on the political perspective of
it. I would rather be interested to say I do like people criticizing other people,
even myself for instance, as long as it is for a progress. I do like nuisance,
oddity, or things that we regard unusual to us in our regular life. The rational
is because those words, at some contexts, can make people ponder their attitudes
or actions, can wake people up to change the course towards betterment, and can drag people out from the comfort zone where they sleep too long and
too much that the train could leave them behind.
There was a protesting rally organized by activists in front
of the Embassy of Australia two days ago. It was about demanding Australia to
settle the maritime boundary problem with us. We know that it is within our
maritime boundary, oil sources serve our future. Thus, we need to get the right.
Although it was a good cause for the virtual public to share, I refused to blog
about it because I felt the same like the President might imply in his speech that
if we explore and exploit all oil and gas resources ourselves sooner, waste can
rampant, and life gaps can be greater. Thus, I would agree if somebody agrees
too that it would be a good choice to keep them there while negotiating, most
importantly, improving what the President criticized today from within first.
