Greener pasture

Migraine... err... I mean migrating.

Yeah, I am contemplating on whether to embark on this... as it seemed that the country is going nowhere (stagnant) but perhaps backwards in the years to come, judging by the things are going in the country and national issues that are affecting us, the not-so-privilege citizens whom are born in the country that is blessed with abundant natural resources and stability (geologically, meterologically etc.). Being born in this country doesn't guarantee my basic rights as a citizen to have a level playing field in education, employment opportunity or materialistic gain (e.g. property, automobiles). Of course in here I can't disclose them as explicit as I have it clearly 'worded' in my mind, as I would not risk myself or my family to intimidation, harassment or even being thrown in jail for saying things that are considered 'sensitive'. If you are resident of this country long enough, you will know what actually I'm trying to say here.

Gloomy prospect in the future for the country if things are the same as now, as far I can see la. I'm worried for my offspring, and the future generations of the not-so-privilege citizen would suffer the most. Can't seem to see the light at the end of the tunnel at this moment.

If even in my own country I am still considered the descendants of migrants, might as well go to another country as migrant and feed on the bigger economic cake there? Two or three within my group of contacts has emigrated, and I'm contemplating on whether I should take the big decision to migrate like them.

Is there still hope for this country?
