巴罗的隐忧


烟民们,关心一下巴罗的时事。

报道中,巴罗已经慢慢步向老人村了。

看着报纸,熟悉的照片,看了报道,感同身受。

我的看法是,大家,尤其是现在都到外地深造工作,有空都应该回到巴罗看看,这是我们的根,无论以后我们到哪里工作,也一定要回到这个我们共同拥有的地方。

这趟回到巴罗,绕了一圈,发觉一些改变,巴罗有了新的油站,新的商店,房屋。期待看到更多的改变。

P/S: 请翻阅《南洋商报》,2008年11月26日,柔佛版B12, 城镇脉动。

urbanization is no longer a news.

Who will ever know whr will we end up? Will u gv up ur luxury/ relatively well being life in city and look for a job at our hometown? 

Say is always easier than done. I want to go bek hometown to stay, We want to stay at the place we r familiarize with too, but what is the trend now? Is Paloh possessing the things/resources we need for us to advance? Is Paloh a place for us to b a better or more competitive person?

Going bek to visit the hometown and residing over thr are different ideas.Don't try to mess it up.

How many of us want to always b thr? How many of us want it to bcm a better place? How many of us dun want to leave our family and strive alone in a random city full with random people and bloody stiff competition? But how?

Once again, say is always easier than done. We can do nothing about the urbanization as well as the aging population in Paloh.

I'm not trying to be mean here, I do appreciate my life in Paloh, it gives me a better growing environment than city.It allows me to stay unpolluted by the bloody cruel reality for 17 years.

Nevertheless,what I would like to say is: Unless Paloh become a highly developing hub in someday, sometime,otherwise what u r urging here is nothing but a blatantly vain slogan.

Sorry... I'm screwing my revision and quite fed up with exam now.

Neway, i hope that u really reckon about the reasons y paloh is an "aging town" b4 u urge sth, the choice is not up to us to choose, after all.

*full of -ve aura*

First of all, I am not really agree with you ,siew choon.

As you say, urbanization is not a news, we may not solve this problem, but we can put our effort in reducing the effect of it I think.

I admit, Paloh is really lack of resources for us to advance, but to me,hometown is still hometown, root is still root. No matter how bad condition is my old house,is still my old house.

Environment may cause a person to change, Paloh environment is not good enough to make us a more rich person, with luxury life. Thats why we have to go to outside to persue a better life. But after we got our brand new mercedes, can we drive it back with our family together to our lovely Paloh. Try to think about it.

I think I am not messing up living at hometown and going back to hometown. As I mentioned before, we may reduce the effect, but we cant solve the problem. And I think choon you got a mistake here,we are not visiting our hometown, but going back to our hometown.

Say is always easier than do, I agree, but if you not think and say about it,will the condition become better.

Please always be positive minded,a solution always come from a positive mind.

The decision that Paloh become an aging town is not in our hand,but how many times and how frequently we go back to hometown is in our hand, although it cant solve the problem.

No matter how big the moon is in the big city,the moon in hometown is still the most beautiful,to me.

The purpose I blog the news is to share our Paloh news, and asking all our dear friend.If convinient ,please come back for a walk.

:-), i agree with ah bao, hometown is stil hometown. if paloh change to a place that possessing the things/resources we need for us to advance or a place for us to b a better or more competitive person, i cn say that paloh is nt paloh anymore, it wont be the paloh that we familiar after it change......

First and foremost, i want to clarify that i seriously don't think city offer a better "moon" than Paloh, if my tone made u misunderstood, i apologize.


You might think that I'm just being a way too negative and my suggestion is not constructive yet a bit too emotional.Still, the core message i want to deliver here is nothing but we are not the one who have says in deciding how often we can GO BACK hometown(as ur wish, not visiting hometown, although i SAID GO BACK TO VISIT).

Think of this: As a student, we are being constraint on how often can we go back home, thanks to the sucky education system and bloody ethnicity problems in Malaysia. I wouldn't say that we can do nothing about it. Imagine those who study in kedah and Kelantan, how can they manage to go bek so often? And u also being trapped in KK for 4 or 5 months before you can go bek. Sometimes the constraints is not laying upon our willingness, but the circumstances.

Furthermore, even though we want to go bek, think of the sucky public transport system we had in Malaysia. The poor management and the congestion problem create nothing but chaos. Ant yet, we still need to endure with this in order to go bek.

Other than that, do u know how much money had been invested to bring up the economy in Paloh? Do u have any idea that how much money had been lost under the rampant corruptions? 

Maybe you will once again think that I'm just being negative here, but the message i want to deliver to u, including to all of us, is to wonder y our Kampung will end up like this? What are the factors that pushes it to reach this state?

I will urge people to go bek to Paloh too, no matter what it cost, cz i LOVE my kampung as much as anyone growing up and living in Paloh do.

Yet, I prefer to look at the bigger picture of one phenomenon.

Still, I'm happy to hear the news of Paloh and appreciate the sharing of all the emotional arousing information.

Thanks ah bao, it is a good entry, cz it arouse the emotion of us that much. ;P

P.s: I wouldn't have a Merces in the future. But i still will drive my family around.

Kudos to this entry!

Thanks to you too,choon.

I think the msg we want to deliver is almost the same,just we step at different place to think and give our opinion.

You are right,even me also stuck in KK for 5 months.Everybody also busy with each life.So we can only back if we can.

Let us make Paloh a hub for us,巴罗的烟民们.
