As much as I sympathise with the efforts of our opposition leaders and their associates who are going all out to free us from the present government's rule (although one knows their true agenda), the younger generation, like me, would just like to live, learn, earn and go on about our lives.

Question yourselves. What is wrong with the country? How deprived are we compared to India and Indonesia? If Dr Mahathir Mohamad is corrupt, what about Anwar Ibrahim who kept mum until after he was arrested? Are there uncorrupt politicians? If there is one, please, ask them to take a bow.

What do you aim to achieve by hauling us into this 'Black 14' campaign? Who is it going to benefit? For heaven's sake, we are heading towards a financial crisis; I think it is more important for us to focus our attention on that than ruining the livelihood of business people and causing insecurity among the people.

We are talking about opposition leaders' security, their wants and desires, all in the name of the people. But do they really, truly, know what the people want?

Peace. Give us that.

Sorry, I am unable to compete with the intelligence of generous word masters in here, just a simple Malaysian youth, asking for what may be impossible when dealing with unreasonable people.

Leave us out of it.

If you have a personal vendetta against the government, do the 'John F Kennedy' thing for all I care. Keep it off our streets.

Of course this could be misconstrued to be the 'as long as it's not in my backyard' syndrome, but all of you are bringing yourselves into mine and to those of other peace-loving youths. Leave us alone!
