50 years into independence and where is OUR national unity?!?...

think i posted the below article sometime back here in my blog... tot of reposting it back...

had quite a quiet weekend and did some thinking about us celebrating the golden jubilee...

i see not many cars with flags (ok, fine there are many other ways to show yr patriotism), i hear not many discussions being discussed as to where and how to celebrate (ok, perhaps the umno youth led mat rempits do have plans to do wheelies and God bless them so that they don't land themselves in the hospital and/or cause others to do so during the merdeka break/weekend), etc...

did our lovely aab put another major dent into the already-dull-kinda-merdeka-atmosphere by CONFIRMING that malaysia, which is our beloved country, IS an ISLAMIC STATE in the parliament?!?... may post this subject up as a seperate subject... God pls save us!... the rulers pls save us!...

as much as i want to witness and participate together with the country in ushering in the 50th year of independence... i'd rather stay at home than to proclaim merdeka, which i dun see how merdeka means to us with those stuffs happening lately which i cringe EVERYTIME i hear those stuffs...


p/s ; wat's a golden jubilee to you?!?.. to me it's to celebrate something REMARKABLE, something GREAT and something which defines EVERLASTING!...







my earlier article...

lately we see/hear tons of advertisements via the tv, newspaper, radio, etc.. mentioning that we will be celebrating our 50th anniversary soon... we also see those black and white clips and black and white videos a lot lately...

major plans ahead on how to go around celebrate it... they even gonna transform merdeka stadium into how exactly it looked like during the proclamation of merdeka by tunku in 1957...

had a chat with my parents just few days ago about national unity... my parents certainly went through a lot... japanese occupation, communists insurgency, may 13, merdeka, etc... all this are indeed very important events for the country....

during this time (probably except may 13 event), it certainly shows one very visible thing.. the NATIONAL UNITY... be it malay, chinese, indian, etc... all of them work, eat, sleep, fight, etc.. together.. they can hear almost nothing about big hoo-hahs on racial/religion issues like wat we are facing now... everyone were kinda free to do watever they want and be happy about it.. no supression or watsoever like wat we are facing now...

totally different now... every race seems wanna to beat each other, loves comparing to one another, etc... for example, i came across a book that mentioned something along this line...

"kalau tak malas, bukan melayu"...
"kalau tak tipu, bukan cina"...
"kalau tak minum, bukan india"...

wat made this author comment this kinda comments?!?...

according to my parents.. we certainly cannot compare the national unity we had then to the national unity we have now...

it's madness now!... despite the good time we are having, the roller coaster economy we are having, the 1st class infrastructure we are having, we produce our own car, we have world class f1 track, yummy food all around, etc... to me personally, all this are just the surface projecting a 'beautiful and peaceful malaysia', wat is going on beneath this surface is the TOTAL opposite!...

they put the meaning of democracy to shame, racial issues, so-called freedom on religion, breaking up families due to religion issues, fighting over dead body becasue of religion issues, nep, corruption, discrimination, marginalisation, we have ministers who put malaysia to shame and no proper action is taken against them, etc.. etc.. etc...

for those who wanna deny that all this is happening and/or dun bother to go and vote because you think yr 1 miserable vote won't do a thing.. i wish you a happy and peaceful life living the malaysian way...

for those who wanna help save the country before the country go beyond help... pls do the necessities.. be pro-active... perhaps, getting people to vote WISELY in the coming general election may be a very small but it will be a very significant step towards changing the country for the better...


p/s ; my ramblings and my concern for our future and the future of the generations to come...
