Failure to communicate

Nashairi did a wonderful job capturing the dynamism of this monument, from this angle, I'm sure many can appreciate the aesthetic and the elements of design present in the work. The symmetrical design was way too apparent. It was an honest work, I think, very modest by scale and was constructed as a reminder to our day of independence. We were not in any way sophisticated at that time so we make do with this manifestation. But the question remains, why do we neglect this important object? We sidelined it, we pass over it without even blinking an eye, we allow such pathetic misgivings because we were too busy doing nothing. This is our Merdeka monument for god's sake, where is our patriotic pride? where is our love to this country? If the symbol of our independence was not being attended to, then do we expect our freedom as Malaysian would be safeguarded and upheld righteously.

Look at the visitors passing by, they were not there to appreciate the monument, in fact they didnt even notice the significant of this site. What they were really after were the central air conditioning inside the Mall.
