Of Dogs and Cats and Malaysian Politics

When the world is engulfed with so many issues, some Malaysians decide to be totally exclusive in putting across their points on dogs and cats and obtaining neighbours' permission to have pets.  I have no dogs or cats at home but both dogs and cats poo in front of my house.  Sometimes, cats even poo in my garden.  But do I get all worked up?  No, life is too short.  Get on with it.

My father has 2 dogs and 2 cats in his house in Muar, and all the dogs and cats live and play well together without quarrelling (better than humans).  If only humans (Malaysians included) can learn to live like them.

At the same time, Malaysian politics is still harping on racial issues.  When will people grow up and realise that life is short and that we are all from the same place on one planet, only to return to the same afterlife.  Umno even debates on the exclusive use of the word "Allah" which is supposed to mean God in Islam.  It is like saying, Malaysia is mine, stay away.  Bah, humbug!
