Counting the Costs ...

You know what?
I used to love going to IPOH.

I loved the entire ambience in the state ... from the friendly locals .. the slower pace on the roads ..  and did I mention that they had really really good chow ? 

The land of Nga Choy Kai.





























































But after today, I don't know if I still wanna make my trips to IPOH .. cos apparently now it seems I can't be seen wearing BLACK .. or seen holding a candle ... or heavens forbid .. doing BOTH whilst having coffee in a coffeeshop especially while i'm in the vicinity of a certain tree !!!

I keep asking myself .... how can something like this happen ? Arent there laws set in place to prevent such things from happening ?

And in case if anyone is wondering what i'm ranting about .. read all about it here and here and here and here.

Cos if you can physically manhandle and throw out the Perak State Assembly Speaker and replace him with someone else you favour .... well, what does that say for the rest of us rakyat?















And when all of this is over ... what has been gained ? 
More importantly .. what was LOST ?

If the law is perceived to be non-existent .. only to be governed and enforced by a select few, how will that translate into a peaceful and orderly country ?

Will crime increase ? ( if it hasnt already ) .. and is the people's votes actually worth anything anymore? Violence will only breed more violence .. I pray that this will not escalate into something much more dangerous .....
