Promised Land Or Bolehland
Promised Land or Bolehland
Eons ago, Bolehland was one harmonious land...
She was world acclaimed as a model multi racial nation...
Super rich in natural resources as compared to Singapore.....
Even precious water, we export till this day to Singapore...
But as a generation, we witnessed first hand how our promised land ....
Slowly disintegrated into Bolehland, through racial and religious politics...
When the government of the years sought to remake the nation....
Where one race and religion supersede all other considerations...
Caring little for the wisdom that it's the people that maketh the nation...
Selfish political policies and decisions ate away the wealth of our nation...
Look at tiny Singapore, bereft of natural resources save for her peoples....
Yet standing tall as an economically nation of power....
Ye gods, one Sing dollar is thrice the poor Ringgit...
What a enduring slap in the face for the supremacy of religion and race in Bolehland....
