    "content": "become rich. However, looking behind to adopt I do not know which culture, I am telling you my sisters and brothers, we are not going to help this country. This is sentimentalism. A good example is that presently there is debate about community land. That is a concept that is predicated on the issue of culture. I can tell you that the Members of the Departmental Committee on Lands are unable up to now to define “community land”. This is because the present world is about an individual. There is nothing like community land anymore and that is the reality of life. You may refuse and shout me down but that is the reality. I am sure all of us here take our children to formal schools to learn western education and no one takes his or her children to the rural area to learn culture. We may be busy here telling our people how our culture is good and the need to preserve it. However, the reality is that it will not help our people. Let us be pragmatic and join the winning team. This is the modern world which is rational. I, therefore, oppose this Bill and ask Hon. Members to join me so that we become pragmatic. Thank you."
