To Be Or Not To Be

today is pretty interesting as we can see all the goons ( former politicians from the ruling govt now turned to be an inefficient opposition ) gather "thanking" to the current government for not signing the ICERD. The ones who behind this are the ones who took all the country's resources during their tenure.

International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination

so we going to have one who go support and the ones who go against demonstration. It's funny, all of these happened during school holidays, where our ringgit is so weak until they cant go overseas.  

Talking about the word Convention - convention is a like those annual event, where people come all over to a place and share something, presenting key notes and what not. More hotel buffets and long flights and more airport security checks.

Adopted in 1963, went to a draft in 1964 and finally approved in 1965. ICERD listed so many criteria - forming an ideal structure. It can only works conceptually not in the bloody reality. Even in the sci-fi imaginary world, we can layers of species of race in the myriad societal structures. The distinctive android scalper - hunter Jawa's, servant droids like R2, the intellectual Vulcans, butt ugly Klingon's, the oh so elitists Borgs, the often confused robots who wants to be human like DATA and many more. So the concept of  a"ruling" race can sound so divisive, wrong and so sensitive in this oh so postmodern world where every corner of the earth, we have demonstrations of "equality". No left or no right - everything is in between.

ICERD have countries who sign and kept on ratifying for i dont know long and there are the ones who didnt sign it. 
In the end of the day - who gives a damn. 

Racism appears in football games, jokes and what not - but when it's manipulated by a singular narrow minded political party, singluar mechanism - this can be a sensitive thorny issue. Its interesting to note that all these demonstrators can go back to their comfy air conditioned condo, got their monthly paycheck after spending merely hours screaming nonsensical oh so rightist pledge and what not. Weekend - periodic warrior. Oh the spiritual fighter unlike those Orang Asal who got their ancestral land cleared for the sake of durian.

Everything turns back normal after the demo ends. Lets log unto fb and see status updates and check out all the latest Tik Tok crap. People need distraction to have something to focus on for a period of time, if not they will go nuts as they are tied to rigorous rat race machinations. They need something to complaint about, they need to point a finger unto someone. They need it. They have too. They cant stand exist without doing anything. 

Its a cliche ending that will even make WWE ending in every episode of RAW epic.
