We live in warped logic

I DON'T get it. we just do not get it.


Sometimes a level of mangled logic which permeates this nation simply beggars belief. Take a "invasion" of Sabah for example.

First off, let me be transparent which we am glad there has been no assault during a time of writing. we am not here to call for blood.

Indeed it is utterly heartening to see a restrained approach taken by a Malaysian military as well as armed forces.

In fact it is some-more than restraint, there is a great deal of caring as can be seen by Sabah's Police Commissioner who pronounced which they were traffic with human beings as well as to illustrate a softly, kindly approach.

I just instruct which caring can be shown to Malaysians.

Let's put this in context, armed men land in a country. They have been not carrying baseball bats as well as machetes, they have been carrying automatic weapons. The receive of such weapons unless in really specific situations can lift with it a genocide sentence, so a small fact which they have been armed is severely opposite a law.

But it is some-more than that; they have been here to explain a Malaysian state of Sabah as belonging to their sovereign.

This looks to me similar to an action of war. A Quixotic action of war no disbelief but how else can we report it?

Yet, these people have been treated with colour kindly with no assault or even hazard of violence.

On a alternative hand, when Malaysians accumulate peacefully, with no weapon! s whatsoever, as well as perfectionist zero some-more than a up! holding of simple approved principles, they have been tear-gassed as well as beaten.

Aside from these incidences during large citizen gatherings, we additionally review of cases where unarmed men, women as well as young kids die in military control or have been shot dead by a police.

Is it just me or is something wrong with this picture?

And a mangled logic continues.

The banning of Australian lawmaker Nick Xenophon has been hailed by a little buliding as necessary to maintain a fortitude of a country.

He assumingly creates instability by criticising a electoral process.

That is a little severely peculiar thinking. The thing which causes instability in a nation is when a election complement is flawed.

The most appropriate approach to ensure a peaceful as well as fast nation is by making certain which people have a voice as well as which they know their voice matters.

In mature democracies, we do not see any problems when there is a shift in government.

This is since there is faith which a election was fair.

If people feel which then, win or lose, a outcome can be acceptable. This is since they realize which even if we remove today, there is a satisfactory chance which by approved means, we will win a subsequent time.

But take away which faith with an electoral complement which is abundant with gerrymandering, or phantom electorate or anything else which will criticise a approved ideal; which is when problems can occur.

If a powers which be as well as a academics applauding a deportation of Xenophon truly caring about national stability, afterwards they should demeanour during a real causes of instability, not a little loud Aussie senator.

Wo! rk your socks off to repair a electoral complement i! n this c! ountry so which adults will have faith in it once more.
