How to change Malaysia from Overseas

1) Read news from independent online news portals regularly, such as Malaysiakini, Merdekareview (Chinese & BM), MalaysianInsider (free). Don't just read news and absorb what is on the surface. Do read also opinion, column or news analysis articles to deepen your understanding about certain issues and learning more of the background. The depth of your understanding and knowledge would be very useful to form your own critical opinions later. (one shall also read broadly on world's issues, so that one can take good examples from other nations to improve our own)

2) Share the news article you read (which is very worth recommending) and share your ideas on Facebook , Twitter or Blog. This will encourage constructive discussion and interaction with some other fellow Malaysians. You will later found that you are NOT alone in this path to a better Malaysia, together we could make it. It is always nice to find like-minded Malaysian 'comrades' living abroad in this way.



Join also Facebook  Pages such as:
1) 1M Malaysians Reject 100-storey Mega Tower (http://www.facebook.com/NoMegaTower)
2) Curi curi Wang Malaysia (http://www.facebook.com/CuriCuriWangMalaysia)
3) MediaRakyat (http://www.facebook.com/mediarakyatnet) - for those who wants to get more political video updates.

3) Do involve yourself activities organised in your area. If you could, organise one yourself also, be it formal or informal one. Set up a group or an organisation, would be easier to keep everyone together and serves to attract interested members in future. Sometimes activity as simple as Forum or Talk doesn't seem very impressive, but very useful to upgrade your mind. Various groups at Overseas should share the same common vision and limited resources. Collaboration and interaction with each other should be greatly encouraged. Then, this could push further the momentum of change.

4) Go back home to Malaysia once in awhile, and take the initiative to talk to your family your friends (in your kampung) about your opinions, spread the words and explain to keep them informed, if they don't know or don't understand something. This is for the benefits of them also.

If all of us are doing these 4 points, this will generate ripple effect. Well done, I can see the change is coming soon =) Knowledge and information, plus Actions, will make ordinary powerless citizens becoming very Powerful! Those are the best thing to equip ourselves against a corrupted autocratic regime (generated from a fraud and biased Election mechanism) . No, we are not ANTI-government, we just wanna CHANGE government. We believe in genuine Democracy, and we will push for it for the better future of our motherland =)
