Canning law politicized

in Malaysia, almost every issue is politicized so to add flavor to it. the Malaysian psyche is very much politically oriented that only with politics you may change the whole zone and its climate. i wont be writing about the flaw of political will to overcome the problem of 'shortage and increased price of staple during ramadhan every year.' after all things will become okay after syawal..and most importantly, there is still plenty of food to consume...my concern is very much driven by my fear and frustration when an ignorant, a muslim (unfortunately ignorant muslim) speaks his mind.
canning should be projected as a deterring factor. when generally people agree that alcohol is bad for health, why they are still reluctant to take a more profound measures to rid of alcohol. well, simple logic, they are not really serious. after all, the implementation of canning punishment would be a precedent, and they just dont want this to happen.
when a non muslim criticize the punishment, though annoying but i just can understand if he fail to appreciate the law. but when muslims, and learned muslims questioned the law, this add to my misery.
somehow it is funny when the guilty personnel is treated like a hero(in) and she seems to be very happy about it. i cant take it in malaysia that values today are so relative. u did something wrong and deserved punishment but u r treated like a star coz people think that u r victimized. on the contrary, the person who is asked to uphold justice and to safeguard religion did his best to actualize justice is blamed.
in Malaysia,when a politician speaks, that is 'revelation' and you almost cant say nothing about it. those 'honorable knowldegable powerful' politicians have every means to move people around him to support his views.
yet, there are silent majorities like me, who fed up of speaking but chose to exercise his knowledge and right when election come...well what to do, like i said earlier, in malaysia, it is all about politics.
i guess, it is 1Malaysia thing that make us forget our boundaries...i wish there is a greener land for me to do hijrah..
