You might want to define the concepts of criticism and ill feeling. We criticise what is wrong and unjust. And we bear deep ill feeling towards those people who do wrong things and perpetrate & perpetuate injustice.
But that is not necessarily criticism or ill feeling towards our homeland. Our homeland is not defined by the people who do her wrong. The concept of loving Malaysia is not inseparable from the hating of its politicians or disdain for certain sections of its society and their philosophies.
My nationality is between me and my country. It is not interrupted by the idiocy of its current government nor the corruption, prejudice, racialism or religiosity of some of my more immoral countrymen.
+100. Fully second this statement which is factual and unemotional.But that is not necessarily criticism or ill feeling towards our homeland. Our homeland is not defined by the people who do her wrong. The concept of loving Malaysia is not inseparable from the hating of its politicians or disdain for certain sections of its society and their philosophies.
My nationality is between me and my country. It is not interrupted by the idiocy of its current government nor the corruption, prejudice, racialism or religiosity of some of my more immoral countrymen.
I would like to add on by saying that our nationality or citizenship is not adulterated (or made inferior) by the idiocy of the current administration and/or its corrupt practices, prejudice, racialism, religious bigotry of some of our more immoral countrymen no matter how lowly some Singaporeans think of us (as being poor, uneducated and 3rd world) and how highly they think of themselves.
