...only this time it is mind boggling. Keeping with my predictions in my previous posts, the Immigration Department has decide to continue its perennial malaise and conduct its annual jumble-sales- amnesty programme (like the Mammoth Malaysian Sales- everything goes, including the kitchen sink, after being constipated for so long; the sales which we know is just an eyewash). Only this time it decided that, in good measure and the spirit of neighbourliness and the fasting month of Ramadan, to go one step further - to legalize the illegal immigrants rather than giving them a free ride home as they have doing all these years.
Somehow, every Malaysian who had his drop of blood on the soil of the nation, (tanah tumpah darah ku), knows without being prompted that it is all an election ploy which should be just around the slippery corner.
This topic was the subject of discussion among my family members during our last dinner meeting. Amongst us were two foreigners who married into the family. One had to be married for over 10 years and deliver two children before she obtained her permanent residency. The other, the more frustrated one, is in his 8th year of frustrating trips to and encounter with most not-so-forthcoming clueless Immigration reception officers who are contended with clocking-in and out of office and enjoying their regular (too regular) tea and nasi lemak breaks.
In the mean time, all the illegal immigrants with no skills are populating our nation whilst the sons of the soil with many alphabets after cannot wait to plant their seed in the soils of other first world nation.
