The Latest Brew

Have you all heard of daun ketom? Not sure what it is in English but it is from a tree which is used as herbal medicine in the days of our forefathers. In Thailand, the fishermen use it to keep themselves warm when they are out at sea.

Here, in good ole Malaysia, it is being abused as a drug! In gets you high you see ... and you know how that can be for Malaysians, especially for our beloved Malay race. So much so that they make it into a drink and serve it like you would tea or coffee.

Some people were saying that it is even being processed in people's home and packaged nicely for retail ot shops. What's up with that? And to make quick bucks, they have started mixing it with other chemicals or substances that you know for a fact will kill you over time. Imagine eating insect repellent? Yup ... that's what their mixing it with.

What is it about drugs and our locals? Why can't they go through life without it. Why is reality so harsh that they can't accept what their loves has become. How can being high on drugs all the time improve your financial situation. The sad part is that it is taken by the rural folk, those who can't afford to feed all their 10 children or give them a decent education. Why do their parents need to run away from the world all the time.

Then comes that part about religion, They prey on others and their mistakes about not doing things or living their life the Islamic way. And taking drugs, no matter in what form, is acceptable? DUH!

These are the issued those leaders should be addressing other than who is shagging whose butt! I mean honestly ...

Oh ya ... so daun ketom drinks are in and glue sniffing is out now ok! Just thought you would like to know ...

I tell him? He is the Minister? Shouldn't he already know what goes on? I doubt they are that oblivious. ARE THEY?
