WHAT IS PATRIOTISM?




I couldn’t agree more with Datuk Patrick Sindu (Consumer-cum- social activist) DE 04/07/2012 on the issue of praising for defacing properties, which Patrick called it ‘vandalising spree’ by painting, 1,000 trees and rocks with 1 Malaysia logo.

In my view, the Assistant Minister who praised instead of criticizing must be out of his mind.

What are trees we planted for and rock that are there to beautify our surroundings?

If this retiree, is doing it out of patriotism he should learn what patriotism is all about.

There are many ways to express our love of country. Mind you, there is a different between the kind love we hold for to our leader and love we hold for our nation, surely not necessarily shown by ruining public property because others may not share what Sabturani Angsa’s is doing.

Some people like trees as trees not as canvas.

My patriotism isn’t based on because I agree with the leader of my country.

My patriotism to my country regardless whoever is in power, and would not make it different. But if the person, the leader who I happened to share his views with, that is mine altogether

Best Regards,

AMDE SIDIK

  4. Sekurangnya bukannya menconteng yang bukan-bukan pun. Ia menconteng 1 Malaysia juga. Kalau kita lihat sendiri memang cantik dan kreatif yang membuat itu.
