Malaysia

Evander Singh, Malaysia: "Basically the Malaysian police is a joke. In Thailand, the Highway Police does a great job controlling traffic speed. This protects ordinary people. In Malaysia, the rich class (mostly Chinese) can speed their cars as they wish. The Malaysian police does nothing. Anyway, they are a poor lot and don't have the equipment for speed control."

Malaysia is a multi-racial country with a population of approximately 19.9 million. This consist of the main racial groups of Malays, Chinese, Indians, and a very diverse group of indigenous people in Sabah and Sarawak. The Orang Asli are the aboriginal people of Peninsular Malaysia, with an estimated population of over 60,000 and who, for the most part, still lead a simple yet fascinating lifestyle. Sabah's indigenous groups include the Kadazan/Dusun, Bajau, Murut, Rungus, Lotud, Orang Sungei, Kadayan, Bisaya and many other subgroups. The Ibans forms the largest indigenous group in Sarawak, the rest are the Bidayuhs, the Melanaus and the Orang Ulus.

But I am aware that many people need something to hold on when their mind wanders to questions such as why do we exist, and what are we living for. Or when fear of dying and death creeps in.
