Unconsciousness from gazety_adaladala

I apologize to the car’s owner if I didn’t hide the number plate. Maybe this way he will care more about other’s life. The pictures I am going to show you reveal how careless of others’ security some people can act. This happen oftenly on the sidewalk in front of the BRIDGE Hotel. I already warned the guard but he didn’t care less, he he he! It seems that the owner of the hotel have taken the spot undefinetly for his BMWor for his visitors cars. But this day I only had the chance to take a picture of the minibus. As you can see, it endangered everyone’s life because they have to walk on the street. Even cars have to stay on the left side of the road to avoid the minibus which driver’s didn’t care about leaving a minimal space from the building. This kind of behaviour happen everyday in Antananarivo from early morning to late at night. Everyone park their car wherever they feel like regardless of one’s security. I post this picture after Fcandy’s Rimorimo post which also point people unconsciousness when on the streets.

HELP ! SOS Teachers
I want to talk about the teachers in Antananarivo University Ankatso because as a student I feel like this is my duty. Not so long ago, the governemnt gave hundred of millions in Ariary (local money) to private institute such as INSCAE. How disrespectufl of our entire educational system especially towards the brains of our country. Not only as a student who learned the most from my professors do I have to blame these types of action but as a simple citizen who cares about his country’s future. There are many teachers who should retire but keep on working for years. Sometimes there is no one to replace them, sometimes they don’t want to leave the place. Without the government financial support, the many temps at “Ambohitsaina” (the Hill of Knowledge in Malagasy) live in vry precarious conditions. This is the main reason of each year’s general student’s strike in each 6 of Madagascar’s universities. I am reaching to my friends who have the chance to study abroad and who are willing to help out (”misy ny anjara briky” : add a brick to the building) : I invite each of anyone of you to support the citizen journalism movement in Madagascar. This way we can all share our thoughts and initiatives freely in order t help our country.

Life by RmStephy

Life can be easy but most of the time there are problems. Because of poverty children don’t go to schools, they have to work or worse : they are forced to steal. And there are people who keep on swindler other ones. I also know state employees who don’t follow the laws. What will happen to our country with these types of behaviour ?

Tnr asks “Should the treatment differ between a state employee who practice corruption and a common citizen who steal?”
