'Nation' awareness has never been as high as now, among students, not since the AUKU came into place (for the uninitiated, go ahead and google it :). Having experienced the most unexpected results during the March 8 General Election and witnessed the crushing defeat of BN in the Permatang Pauh by-election, calls for change of better governance, transparency, racial reconciliation, a Malaysian Malaysia is actually being dreamt off.It's been 6 months since then and we just celebrated Hari Kemerdekaan (or is it Hari Kebangsaan?). We also need to face up to the realities that to leave the fate of our country in the hands of the politicians would not suffice. We too have our responsibility to shoulder. September and the months ahead are bound to be exciting times. It's time to rise, to be counted.
What were some of the things that you've thought of, maybe few months ago, but have yet to take actions? Or if you have, how's the progress been?

Wow.. thanks for reminding lo~~
yeah thanks for the reminder. I feel guilty because i had plans initially but am busy with everyday life, that it has been only on the back of my mind. Time to get INVOLVED!
the dude
Hmm, what are some things that we can be involved with?
for a start, to stop labeling by ethnic. To actually take a look around us and notice people especially not from our ethnic group, people that we don't normally mix with and make the effort to get to know them. It's not us vs them but together we make Malaysia a home.
