Picatho's causeries

Compared to previous pre-national day celebration, fever fluttering of national flags in the streets was an anomaly. The ambience of Merdeka spirit had surprisingly diminished. Why?

Maybe some thought that being patriotism was not necessarily related to the meaning of flying national flag;

Maybe one was reluctant to rise the flag under the volatile political situation although he loved our country very much;

Maybe some had a propensity of keeping his flag inside the drawer to show their discontent about the bad government;

Maybe some reserved to be happier to fly flag later if there were new government born;

Maybe some had have unhinged by the high pump prices and putting up of a flag has become a repugnant thing to them;

There certainly were hundreds of disparate reasons to justify for ambivalence.

But I just couldn't buy a flag under high inflation pressure to wave in the street and I thought of saving money over unnecessary expenditure in order to meet the inflated electricity charges. The only way I can do is flutering the flag over here.
