My personal experience has shown me that Malaysia is still a far cry from becoming a caring society.My mother is 75 years old and still goes to do her banking every month as she refused to open a current account.On many occassions when I took her to the bank she has to wait almost an hour before being served.I notice the bank has many very senior citizens as its costumers.What I don't understand is why the bank don't open a priorty counter for this type of costumers instead of putting them together with the much younger generation. I wish you and those like you would one day be independent in our uncaring society.May God bless you. <strong>Peter: Thank you for your wishes. My peers and I are looking forward to that day.</strong> Dear Peter,

This is the first time I read your blog.I landed here through Mat Salo’s blog.I agree with you we have progressed so much since independence but we have completely neglected the welfare of the less fortunate.The government could have made it compulsory for every buildings, public transport and other public amenities to provide facilities for the handicaps.In most Western countries such facilities have been in existence for many many years.It is just unfortunate that our leaders don’t have that caring attitude.

My personal experience has shown me that Malaysia is still a far cry from becoming a caring society.My mother is 75 years old and still goes to do her banking every month as she refused to open a current account.On many occassions when I took her to the bank she has to wait almost an hour before being served.I notice the bank has many very senior citizens as its costumers.What I don’t understand is why the bank don’t open a priorty counter for this type of costumers instead of putting them together with the much younger generation.

I wish you and those like you would one day be independent in our uncaring society.May God bless you.

Peter:
Thank you for your wishes. My peers and I are looking forward to that day.

It want you do for that flag u wave. I can see there is a need for more equality and concern for disabled people. thanks for sharing, i am also disabled at the moment, having a bad case of tendonitis. <strong>Peter: Temporarily disabled but disabled nonetheless. Welcome to my world. Get well soon.</strong> Yes Peter, patriotism is more than just flag waving once a year. It want you do for that flag u wave.
