we all have wishes, let them be big or small, grand or simple. since our 50th independence day is just few hours away, i thought of listing out my wishes for this wonderful day in our country.
1. removal of the words “gender”, “race” and “religion” in any language in all application/registration/survey/entry forms used in our country except for those that requires specific characteristics e.g. imam must be a muslim.
2. free education up to secondary school for all students regardless of type of school and location.
3. improved, seamless, reliable, energy-saving, less-polluting, and efficient public transportation system throughout the country which reduces the need for privately owned vehicles.
4. to reduce dependency on foreign workers by training the locals to be skilled.
5. to provide fair distribution of services and benefits to all deserving citizens based equal rights.
6. to reduce working hours and encourage more time for families to bond together.
7. to have sets of law that provides access to information and guarantees freedom of rights of individuals.
wishful thinking…you say?
what do you wish?
