What We Learn from Musang King Durian Crisis in Pahang

Let us skip those political issues and focus on lessons worthy of learning.

Durian only grows in certain specific climates and quality soil, Raub of Pahang state in this case.
The tree is an important component as long as feng shui is a concern among Malaysian Chinese.
Long ago, a tree blocking a view (so-called feng shui) would be chopped unhesitantly.
Nevertheless, I see a tendency not simply to chop a tree over 20 years of my feng shui career.
Because people are more educated and more eco-conscious about the ecosystem of their living environment.
From tree chopping feng shui, gradually transforming into non-tree chopping feng shui.
This is the mental transformation I see over 20 years in Malaysia, from my fieldwork.
30 years ago, you could find feng shui master advising clients to chop trees because they block the feng shui view.
Today, you seldom heard about this as modern housing estates are built without such defects.

Tree in terms of feng shui

The tree is an energy channel between Heaven & Earth.
A blossoming tree is a symbol of good energy at the spot of the place.
It is good to have trees in the surrounding of your house.
It is not professionally accurate blaming a tree blocks the flow of Chi or energy.
Nevertheless, an unhealthy tree should be chopped for safety and hygiene.

As long as Durian Tree Crisis is concerned in Raub, Pahang:

Malaysia Chinese(MC) should understand that their rights as a citizen are well protected by the Constitution of Malaysia Federation.
Therefore, MC should abide by and follow the law from STEP 1; so that their rights are well protected.
MC should uphold the legal procedure so that their rights are respected.
MC should not adopt FAST LAND service in acquiring any objective.
Nor should MC adopt Jalan Pintas / Shortcut to expedite their business.
MC should aware that the adoption of western demonstration/shouting does not earn them any credit and respect from Malay.
Nor does western democratic idealism/approaches turn the ears of Malay to listen to them.
This is a simple fact that ~~you are not living in a western country~~ and Malay is not a westerner.
On top of that, Fast Land Service & Shortcut Mentality( even though causing lots of spending) do not help you to earn the respect from the Malay.
If you want respect from the Malay, you need to be abiding by and follow the law FIRST.
There is no way MC could protect their rights & earn respect from the Malay if continuing to adopt Fast Land Service & Shortcut Mentality; as Malaysia has been Independent since 1957.
If MC wants respect from Malay, then respect the law FIRST.
You should not mistreat the law. What goes around comes around.
