Expectation vs Reality

I shall list down Expectation vs Reality for hoo-haa issues in our country.

LGBT

Expectation:
No one hates the LGBT community anymore. All of us live together in peace now that the new government has won.

Reality:
The war hasn't end.

My take:
There is nothing wrong with homosexuals. Things only start to go wrong when bisexuals come into the picture. In general, those people hate the homosexuals who had sex with similar gender because they might be the next person those said homosexuals have sex with. Then they felt disgusted. Then they began putting HIV into the picture. This I somewhat agree, but only to an extent. Why is HIV often associated with gay? There were researches (not going to quote, if you have doubts there's always google to verify but of course, know your sources) about chances of infecting HIV. I shall do a ranking here for a clearer understanding.

Man A (the infected man)
Man B
Woman C
Woman D (the infected woman)

Order from highest to lowest:
Man A had sex with Man B
Woman C had sex with Man A
Man B had sex with Woman D
Woman C had sex with Woman D

Why? It is easier for the virus to pass through and enter the body via bodily fluid from a bigger opening like vagina canal and anus. And since vagina has some self-cleaning fluids but not anus, therefore the chance for the infected fluid to enter the body without filter is higher. That being said, the ranking for Man A and Woman C would have increased should both of them engaged anal sex, but again due to the lower anal sex probability compared to Man A and Man B (almost certain they would engage into it), so the ranking will still be highest for Man A and Man B.

HOWEVER.

Just because it is easier to infect gays does not mean that LGBTs should be entirely blamed. It is the non-acceptance of LGBT that they were not aware of sex education and protection. If LGBTs were treated equally like their heterosexual counterparts, then the risk of HIV infection would definitely reduced twofold or even tenfold.

Acceptance is important before everything else comes in.

EDUCATION

Expectation:
Finally Malaysian education have hope. We will soon be on par with our neighbour Singapore. Who knows, one day even Singaporeans came flocking into our country to have a piece of our education.

Reality:
Shoes changed to black.

My take:
Education is a lifelong battle. There are always root causes to be addressed. To me, solutions are more important than everything else because without solutions, even thousands of root causes do not matter. Form 5 students still could not do proper multiplication. University students still could not string a proper sentence in fluent English. Root cause? Bad environment. Bad education standard. Exhausted teachers. Burned out teachers. Corrupted MOE. Etc. The list never ends. Then what are we going to do with these?

I applaud and admire people like Jarrod Yong and Liew Suet Li who gave their lives into improving children's education. This is something which I would like to contribute to one day if I have the resources and the energy. I, unfortunately, have none.

But actually to be honest, there is one simple solution to improve at least 50% of education level in Malaysia. Eradicate poverty. Then those children (both rural and urban poor) can freely study with no burden. As for troublesome rich urban kids, well I have no solution yet (that is why I said at least 50% as that is one of the major reason for low education level in Malaysia).

Please Dr Mazlee, at least come up with a draft on making Malaysian education a better one. Not just changing shoes from white to black.

CHILD MARRIAGE AND GROOMING

Expectation:
Pedophiles be put to jail and/or castrated. All children in Malaysia are now protected.

Reality:
Child marriage is more welcomed compared to LGBT. Ministers kept mum when the issue of 41-year-old man with two wives married an 11-year-old girl took over headlines.

My take:
LGBT is a conscious choice made by human beings and they are responsible for anything that happens to them (HIV, heartbreak, STD). Well, actually the risk is the same for heterosexual people as well. What is there to shout about?

As for child marriage, these men took away the freedom of children who were unable to make proper, conscious decisions on their own. Children, who were supposed to be allowed to grow at their own pace while still continue being children, were forced to grow up way earlier than intended by being married to older men. Children, who should spend their lives receiving education (including sex education LOL) and playing games and toys were forced to spend their lives having sex and becoming a parent. They were not mature enough to even took care of themselves and now they have to be parents. Great.

To make things worse here, those supposedly "religious" pedophiles used their religion to defend their actions on child marriage. Based on how wise and mature Aisha was, she seemed to be in her early teens when she married Prophet Muhammad. And let's not forget that Prophet Muhammad was a wise man who focused on spreading the word of Allah in Islam so he would definitely need a wise, mature woman who has the energy. Aisha was all of those mentioned. She was married for a noble cause.

Then what about the 41-year-old man with two wives?

He was just a rubber trader who did not even take care of his own wives and children.

That speaks a lot about someone. So yes, it is normal for us all to question his intention on marrying the 11-year-old girl. If Malaysia supports this marriage, then that would mean Malaysia is supporting pedophilia.

Sometimes, we need nothing else other than common sense to run a country. #sorrynotsorry

I can go on forever but I am too lazy to type anything else for now.
