A boy in his own way


While the mood of the people are still tense over the political climate in the country, we have a Malaysian in overseas who did us proud for his effort to drill from an end to another end in Straits of Gibraltar battling the roughness and shivering coldness of the gruesome unfriendly sea. We salute you our boy with Malaysia Boleh!!!

This boy is not an ordinary Malaysian. 4 years ago, he battled the English Channel to raise fund for a cancer hospital in UK. His attempt and the will for charity indirectly stamped a memorable mark for our country in UK, in a country which we think doesn’t need any foreign aid.

And we need to give credits to his strong will and mental, in enduring all the hardship between his studies and training. He should be the role model to the younger generations not just for his endurance but also for his pursue in studies. Normally, it’s difficult to juggle between studies and outdoor activities but this boy did it in a colorful way. He’s now a medical graduate from Oxford University. Hey, same university as the Male Ape.

His tireless efforts are much more meaningful compare to stupid expedition project organized by UMNO sending a bunch of Mat Rempit to North Pole. It’s such a waste sending a bunch of street racers for holiday in the coldest region of the world using the people’s hard earned money.

For now, lets hope that our Olympians selected for the Beijing Olympics will show their determination and the type of hanging tough attitude as displayed by Lennard to win the country’s first Gold medal.

I think government shouldn't spoil this kid with datukship. Given a datuk at this age might just lower down his steam and motivation in life. Somemore, datukship are mainly for greedy people who want to become cronies of the power and money sucking community.
