Pulse of the Nation

During the occurrence of a profuse bleeding, the immediate measure that should be taken is no other than arresting the bleeding. The reason is simple, clear and pellucid - to stop the lost of blood which encompasses plasma, erythrocytes, leukocytes, thrombocytes and the likes. The matters happening around us can be synonymized with our internal environment. We need an environment that is regulated within a range, named homeostasis.

Before moving on further, allow me to clarify two terms in case of any confusion, viz:
  1. homeostasis: a state of equilibrium or a tendency to reach equilibrium, either metabolically within a cell or organism or socially and psychologically within an individual or group.
  2. hemostasis: the stopping of bleeding or hemorrhaging in an organ or body part.
The above two words sound the same. Basically both have the same objective - for the betterment of our body. How can we correlate homeostasis with the happenings in daily context? Let me point out a typical example. May 7, the day of infamy at Perak where it brought much of shame to our country in the eyes of other country should be tabled as the main agenda in bringing out an amicable solution for the sake of Perakians, restoring the 'homeostasis' they once used to enjoy.

I wonder why the Federal government, led by the Barisan Nasional coalition is not keen at 'arresting' the 'bleeding' faced by the Perakians. Instead, the police force was misused, arresting hundreds of innocent people. What have they done wrong? We have lost our most basic human rights. We are not allowed to wear black shirts, hold peaceful gatherings, and even candlelight vigil.


The people are just like the blood cells, they contribute to the thick and thin of the development of the country. Without any single of them, there would not be any state of homeostasis. In other words, our beloved motherland - Malaysia will never achieve the tag of World Class Country and the people will forever be embedded with the label of third world mentality. Ask yourself, do we want this?

When the country's economy is not improving or in a stagnant state, what should be done is we shoulder the burden together. But not rubbing salt to the wound, throwing baseless allegations and 'push' the responsibility-balls here and there. All the member of parliaments are given the mandate by the people to ensure that any deviation would not hobble out of the range of homeostasis.

My call to the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak, please stop all the nonsense and do what you do - the honourable things. As what you said, listen to the pulse of the people, but sincerely. Not by listening through a opaque glass, but through a stethoscope. The pulse of the nation lies on you heavily.

To address the 'bleedings' is what we rakyat aspire from all the member of parliaments. Nobody wants to be sidelined. Please do not play the racial cards in splitting us again.
