Inertia

Inertia. What is inertia? Newton's First Law describes it as an object in motion will continue moving in a straight line and an object at rest will remain stationary unless acted on by an external force

This fundamental principle of physics does not only put into use in the world of science. Anything, be it living or non-living, has inertia. Here are some examples of it that Issac Newton himself would never know of(unless he is still alive)

Political landscape. Malaysia suffered a political tsunami in March 2008. Five out of the twelve state legislatures were won by the opposition. The ruling party failed to get two-third of the parliament's population. Life still goes on

The British left Hong Kong. Life still goes on. The Juche Idea still exist in North Korea in the 21st century. Life still goes on. Switzerland is still the "democratic-est" country in the world. Life still goes on. Even Singapura was separated from Malaysia forty over years ago and life still goes on

The results of the following events were not an impact big enough to make a drastic change. Or rather, there wasn't something that powerful to make an alteration in history. This is where nature is at its most truthful form

On the other other hand, news like Lebron James moving to Miami Heat from his boyhood club Cleveland Cavaliers may have changed his life and those of many many people. The Cleveland people are hating James to the core while Miami can't wait to embrace their new superstar

Most people lead an inertia life. To be more specific, it is always the uncreative and dull friends of yours who are the inertia slaves. Everything has a routine, including their mindset. It is complex for them to analyse issues

Creative people or people who have a little bit of creativity are always more well-liked. They are those who re-define Newton's First Law. An internal force within the object can make a difference to its movement

In the case of the Singapore story, our ministers built the country's infrastructure and economy from third-world to first (although the current batch has screwed things up). Malaysia were surprised and tried to surpass us. Indonesia are jealous of our achievements. Taiwan didn't bother to take notice of us. All of them still remain the same more or less till today

Boundaries can be exceeded. One just needs some force within oneself
