What ails Patriotism ?

What ails patriotism ?
Is it flying the flag on our Protons ?
Is it singing the National Anthem, standing straight upright ?

Patriotism - an entire embodiment of your personal aspiration to be greater than yourself, to be part of a successful, morally evolved culture and society. To be able to come home and to call a place home. A collective conscious effort of every man, woman and child to build a place that they can call home and to collectively feel proud of his and her achievements. An honourable tinge in every person's soul that what they do, is ultimately for the good of the coming generations.

If we are indeed patriotic, why would our leaders then provided blanket Citizenships to millions of illegal immigrants in exchange of votes ?

Who benefits ?

Blood, sweat, tears of generations of Malayans/Malaysians in building this nation all came to naught and almost an insult, as they assimilate illegal immigrants and then accord them special status.

This is Malaysiakini's post on the issue

Excerpt:

This country was built on the blood, sweat and tears of generations of Malays, Chinese, Indians and non-Muslim bumiputeras and it is unforgivable for genuine citizens to be denied what is rightfully theirs whereas outsiders are given citizenship on a silver platter. The former chief minister of Sabah, Harris Salleh, even has the audacity to ask the federal government to validate the falsified statutory declarations signed by these foreigners to obtain their identity cards. Even Malaysians don't get it that easily.

This government has been too trusting of foreigners and has allowed them a free rein of the country on the pretext of they being Muslims solely for political ends. As it is, Indonesians are squatting on Malay reserve land. What assurance do we have that the Sabah Filipinos are loyal to Malaysia? Now that they outnumbering genuine Malaysians, who is to know whether they would one day seek to annexe Sabah to southern Philippines?

You want a context of the real situation.
