Let's not miss out a blog post about New Year Resolution. It's belated but it's better than never.
To have a short one, I hope 2016 is a much better year than 2015. I don't hope it to be good, just less worse would be awesome.
It's only 7 days into 2016 and Malaysia has sunk deeper into a hole that sees no escape.
Oil prices in the world market have tumbled so badly, Malaysian Ringgit has been hit so hard, it has dropped to almost half a decade low. Malaysian economy has remained stagnant or taken a dip with recession and inflation going skyrocket.
Saudi Arabia and Iran have begun a dispute that could have sent ripples throughout the world as it affects almost the Middle East, and perhaps all the Muslims in the world.
North Korea disturbingly and allegedly succeeded in launching a H-bomb that threatened world security, and the major economy power.
ISIS does not seem to have faded in power or presence.
Malaysia has a bad year ahead perhaps. The controversy surrounding 1MDB sees no end yet. Our systems and those above are not receptive of criticisms and view that as insults and consider them seditious. Anyone who cast aspersions on them risk being hauled up to gaol.
Sarawak will have its state election this year but everybody knows BN will secure its seat there. As a result, Najib will stay in power and West Malaysians who are under his direct rule will continue to suffer.
The Opposition Pact had in 2015 dissolved. A new pact was formed with PAS splinter party. Now the next election will centre on race and religion much more significantly than before now that PAS and DAP have a huge falling out.
In essence, I don't see a good year ahead.
I pray that Malaysia can heal, because it is a shame such a beautiful country has been spoilt by troubled politics.
