Day Four

We continued being with our group. This was also the day we had our patriotic singing competition. My team merged with another group and sang Malaysiaku Gemilang. Regretfully, we forgot the lyrics so our performance was a total flop. What a day. *inserts laughing emoji*

In conclusion, don't believe everything you hear about BTN. If you have a good first impression on BTN, or anything in general, you will have an interesting experience. Even if you didn't, you will have friends around you to support you and will understand how you feel. But honestly, I had so much fun in BTN. I've made new experiences and friends. More importantly, it opened a whole new perspective for me about politics. I also realized how important it is to voice out your opinion because this generation needs to evolve ourselves into a generation which could serve for the country. We are blessed to live into a country which has developed so far since pre-independence. We did not have to experience what our parents or ancestors had to such as the 1997-98 financial crisis, the rise of communism in Malaya and other life-threatening crisis. However, we often speak about political matters which we are unsatisfied of on social media. But in the battlefield, not many are able to do so. Hence, if you really feel the need to change, then go out there to know how it feels like to be involved in leading the country. I'm not saying that we should all be politicians, but rather we should play our role efficiently to ensure the well being of Malaysians. If you are unhappy about something, then take a step back and think, what can I do as an individual to help play my part to make Malaysia a more progressive country? As for me, I aspire to be an economist who can help Malaysians deal with the crisis that we are facing; one of which is the middle-income gap. I hope that with the knowledge that I will obtain in the UK can help me and other aspiring economists to break out of this middle income gap and make Malaysia to be economically stable. InsyaAllah. Play your part friends. Our country is not developed by an individual, rather it is by the roles played by all of us. I remember this quote from the chief officer (I think she quoted it from a book),

"There are three types of generation. The first generation is the generation which fought for the country. The second is (something I can't recall). Third is the generation who seems to already live in a lavish life, and wishes to destroy the country that the first generation has fought for. Do not be the third generation."
