where are we headed?

It's rather disturbing, to say the least, that the moral values in this country has really reached the point of being so low, that it's almost to scary to think that one can go out safely. The streets are no longer what it used to be.

What am I talking about? All Malaysians would have heard of the latest shocking news, of a 8 year old girl, kidnapped, sexually abused before murdered, to be left in a gym bag in front of someone's shop lot.

Where has this country been heading all this while? Is this the price of development, that we let loose of our moral values? Do we no longer know God or fear the repercussions of our own doing? So bad has this country plunged in its outlook towards certain things, that some other issues are not deemed to be as 'bad' or as 'evil', just because something else like this pops up. Everything is becoming relative, as people's believes are shifted with the times, with nothing to anchor them as such, to tell them what's right and what's wrong.

All you Malaysians who are not currently at home, please, please be the one to stand in the gap, and pray for this nation. This country, our home, needs help.

Hey Ian - great post. We always need more people to stand in the gap and pray. Canada has the same need. 3

The crime is/was hideous indeed. No Question about it. Impact is everything in these days of relativity

So are you asking for
1. No crime?
2. Reduced crime and impact?
3. Same amount of crime, but not as impactful?
4. Reduced crime, but similar impact?

Think about it. A simple concept. Without crime, wouldnt this place be, well, Heaven?
Utopian wishes aside, we want reduced crime, and reduced impact indeed.. but we still need a little bit of crime, dont we? So that we continue to find God? Without crime, or any negative elements in life, we will STILL find God? Would we?

Hansel left food crumbs, for the villagers to find him... to save him from a certain boy-meat-pie...

Who is really being saved here? A blasphemous statement? Who invented the concept blasphemy? Why issit so wrong to walk the line of contempt of God, when that line will lead you straight to Him?

Sigh... humanity... just one veiled-glance away from Eternal Happiness....
