I believe there's alot of creativity going around, just not in MALAYSIA. Why? Because kids nowadays do more or less the same things, watch TV, listen to pop music, play Online games like no tomorrow. In school kids are thought to follow 1-10.

I don't know if there's still many kids reading novels, sewing shirts, making decorative stuffs, drawing/painting, you know like what they call "HOBBY"? Other than those too convenient ones like online games & internet.

To make a summary, kids nowadays in Malaysia don't get much of a choice. With everybody doing/playing the same thing, where is the uniqueness & creativity?

I don't know how to say it but Malaysia is an unique country, it's like hanging in the middle of no where. Choices for kids weren't much to begin with before internet. Back then learning music is an expensive thing to do, kids nowadays learn it mostly because their parents couldn't afford to learn back then, or have a elitism mind set, kids get pushed into doing stuff they might or might not like. They may have liked it one day if they weren't pushed. So many kids just busy doing stuffs their parents wants them to.

I don't know about you people but when i see small kids in shopping mall, i hardly see the kid in them. If you compare in other countries kids over there are much more lively. Let kids be free then we can talk about creativity.

There is just 1 draw back on westernization, the sort of aggresiveness that comes with the package. If only there's a balance between east & west. You know like those karate kid that grew up in the west while learning the way of the east.
