Mind your manners

So, the Malaysian PM's wanting to instil us with good values, huh? In essence, I agree. For some reason, it's just not in our nature to be nice. We don't say hello and thank you as much. We are atrociously selfish on the roads. This is one of those things that make going home difficult; having to deal with rude, unfriendly people and inefficient service.
The cause? Probably multifactorial. Family? School? The wanting to be first mentality? Obsession with grades. Exam after exam. Wanting to have the tallest this or fastest that.
We need to grow. And not be so selfish.
The thing is, I'm expecting the government to come up with some totally stupid ideas. Some stupid campaign with a corny slogan and song (think of the RTM 'Suka IT' and 'A-E-D-E-S' songs from the recent years). Some simplistic approach, like force Moral studies into the curriculum, or increase our national anthem's tempo to reflect our nation's advance.
The people who run the country can be so shallow.
