1. They ask me why am I so concerned about what happens in this country, Malaysia.

2. Meaning why don’t I just retire gracefully. I am old. Leave things to younger people.

3. My answer is why should I not be concerned.

4. I am a Malaysian.

5. I am a Malay.

6. This is my country.

7. I was born here.

8. I grew up here.

9. And I had benefited much from this country.

10. I would be most ungrateful if I do not care for a country which had given me a safe and secure life.

11. This is a great country.

12. It has the best climate.

13. It is fertile.

14. It is rich with minerals.

15. It offers so much to me.

16. And largely it has delivered.

17. It can deliver more.

18. If we know how.

19. This is my country.

20. I don’t have anywhere else to go.

21. So I love this country.

22. And I will love it to my last breath.

23. That is the answer.

24. That is why I show concern actively to the well-being of Malaysia, my country.

P.S. I shall never forget that there are people in this world who have no
country, no land that they can call their own.
