My own feelingsSome MY leaders seems tuning up the importance of building bridge
to Muslim civilisation and racial/national dignity.
It seems that MY must build the bridge to show the glory
of Muslim civilisation and national pride.
Even the bridge is not built,no pride of any regilion and race would be
affected.The pride of any regilion and race do not come from mega
projects,but come from small matters.Like not smoking inside
air--cond area,maintain streets reasonable clean ,least corruptions etc.
It is a dangerous game to mix all these.Do the leaders hijack
their people to support to build the bridge through regilion and racial
diginity?
