Is it true that youth today are being neglectful towards their surroundings? The current situation that revolves around them, the issues brought up by either the public or the government, the rights that has been violated, the struggle of certain class of the society—all of these important occurring. Do they even give a damn?
I ran across an interesting comment on somebody’s personal page about an hour ago. (Yes. I love page-surfing. I might even read yours.) She and her friend is discussing about the youth and their place in the society. She was saying something that triggers me to write this piece. What I read was how she believes that youth nowadays are being ignorant and turn to hedonism as a form of escapism from the suppressing state we are in today. Now, is that true?
Look, we are living in a ticking-bomb country where anything involving the words ‘race’, ‘religion’, ‘rights’, ‘freedom’ and even the word ‘Allah’ might set off the darn-old bomb, crushing us to pieces of meat, ready to be thrown into a bowl of ingredients of a delicious meat-pie. We are forever in denial of this situation. The Malaysian youth, are we really that stupid? Are we not smart enough to see what is happening in our society today? The answer is no. We are not stupid. We are just soooo damn lazy to think about the serious stuff. We are occupying our brain with not-so-important stuff such as places to bring our so-called future husbands/wives on the next date, the new body-surfing style to display at the next gig, the latest Datuk Yusof Haslam movie and the list goes on. For this once, free some space in your brain for this piece to stick in your brain and remains in there for as long as you live.
Yes. We are a bunch of ungrateful monkeys who are totally unaware of our surroundings. But there are also some newspaper-reading monkeys who are concerned about the current situation but are totally helpless. This bunch of people wanted to do something about it. They wanted to take action. They have ideas. They have the energy. But to whom should they go to? To whom they could pour out their energy and ideas to help with the situation? They are clueless. These poor souls’ high spirit and tendencies to help with revolutionizing the society tends to decrease and fade away once “Heroes” is aired on the free-to-air channel. I mean who could blame them? “Heroes” equals fun, equals lesser-brain-activity. Participating in, let’s say, a peaceful demonstration on an issue that they believe in equals possible police detention, equals a night in the jail, equals furious parents equals, equals, equals and equals. It’s a simple mathematic. “Heroes” is a safe bet. So that is why youth are more interested in knowing what is Hayden Panettiere’s bra-size rather than what the heck BERSIH is all about.
The media, not to mention, is only interested in maximizing its profit rather than educating us. And like most of us know, the media conglomerate that is conquering almost 90% of the free-to-air channel in Malaysia is none other than Media Prima, a conglomerate that is somehow linked to the ruling party. We might not notice this but, don’t you guys think that all of those interesting, newly-imported TV series from the US is somehow a diversion. It distracts us from seeing the real issue contaminating our society today. We are so busy being a couch-potato. That’s exactly what they wanted us to be. They don’t want us to think. They don’t want us to use our brain to its full potential. (Besides, it’s not that hard to figure out what Panettiere’s bra-size is.) We (youth) are the prime target because we have the voice. The voice, if correctly used, will crush any distorted, corrupt ruling party. If (the voice) correctly used, might promise us a better Malaysia. Sadly, that doesn’t happen. So, the ever-conquering ruling party and its alliances came up with this subtle idea of diversion; as long as they entertain us with all of this so-called cool TV series, they are safe. The youth won’t care about the newspaper headlines. They won’t bother about the politics. They don’t even care about the current, sad state that their own country is in. Oh admit it already! The first thing you flip through when you got hold of a newspaper is the entertainment section-TV programmes-movie listings.1-0. I won.
Now, we move on to the next subject: demonstrations. Do we, youth, have the guts to join in a rally that represents our principle, whatever it is? Do we dare to march, be it rain or shine, just so that our voice is heard? Do we dare to face the consequences? If your answer is yes, then, how immersed are you in the focus of the groups’ struggle? Do you understand what is being fought by the group? Do you understand what are they struggling for? More importantly, do you believe in their struggle? Some cynics might say that youth are eager to participate in rallies just because they wanted to have that sense of belonging. I mean, of course. Youth are always on the search to belong to a particular group, whatever it is they choose. Don’t blame them for something that is only natural for a teenager like them to do. But please Miss-Know-It-All-Cynic; please do not underestimate them just because they marched with other 60,000 people on that day where you were stuck in the jam, swearing endlessly towards the jam-packed road. I mean, who marched that far just so they look cool or they can brag about it later at a mamak stall with his bunch of friends? I mean, who wants to brag about himself being attacked with tear-gas or acid-laced water cannons? No sane man will do that. (Or at least that’s what I believe.) If he desperately wants to be “cool”, he’ll be in the next Akademi Fantasia audition. Or posting comments like “Korang cool-lah. Bila nak turun Kuantan?” or “You guys are soooo kewl. I minat sangat dengan u all..” or “I lah yang tegur u all masa u guys turun stage hari tu. Ingat tak? Yang pakai baju kuning tu. Remember?” in the comment box of the most sought after Myspace band today, Hujan, complete with self-captured photo. Now THAT is a classic desperate attempt to be cool. Oh admit it already! I knew you posted that comment. 2-0. I won.
Do we really care? Some of you might say, “Yes, I do care.” But forget all about it half-an hour later. We had it easy. That is probably the reason why we are being ignorant all these while. We didn’t go through the hard times. We didn’t go through the painful process of independence that our ancestors did. We don’t give a damn about independence because we are born into a country that has already achieved its so-called independence. We don’t really care what’s in the history textbook. We don’t really care about our history. How the country is made up with such way. How the country got its colorful and diverse people. I was very ignorant. I hate reading up anything. I hate books. Well, having said all that, I hate, almost, everything. Up until today, I realize that I haven’t done anything that I can be proud of. Nothing. And as I grew older, I get wiser. Well, although I am not as brainy as that girl who got 17 straight As in her SPM, I can safely say that I can tell what’s right and what’s wrong. (Though, I am still trying to instill some love for books.) We have to have that interest that will prompt us to find out more, dig up more, read up more about what actually happened and is happening to our beloved Malaysia. And that interest can actually be drilled and infused in ourselves. We might say that history and politics is not our cup of tea, but we cannot deny the fact that politics do affect us in our daily lives, one way or another. We just chose to shut the f*** up and turn a blind eye to this matter. We can’t choose the same path forever. And we totally can’t avoid our voting rights all of our lives, can’t we? (This also applies to me, who happen to swear never to vote.) Politics have become a filthy word and many chose to shy away from anything related to politics without realizing that their participation and having their say in this matter is important to build a peaceful, diplomatic nation that is not only for them, but for their next generation, their kin. I admit; I don’t understand politics. But that doesn’t keep me from learning what is actually going on in the politic world and studying Communication here in USM really opened up my eyes to what I perceived as “a whole new world of deception and sham”. And now, although I got C+ for a particular paper that I have so much confidence in, I grew up, intellectually. The grades are not important; it’s the knowledge we gained that matters. Alamak, lari topic.
So, are we really THAT ignorant? I’m pretty sure the “fun” people and the social-bugs will hate me after reading this, saying shits like, “Alah..minah ketat!” or “Ek’eleh, minah takde social life”. (Mind you, I do have a social life, although not as colorful as yours do, I cherish it okay..) I am not what you think I am. I am much like you, the people who went to gigs, who sweat like a pig in MCPA Hall last 2 weeks, who bought shirts from independent labels. We are of the same crowd. It’s just that I am not ignorant anymore. I can safely say that I am more politically aware. And if you’re still reading this, I believe, you are also on the same track as I do. We are inching towards being the attentive citizens of Malaysia. The youth no longer go to gigs and left their brain behind just to enjoy some mindless fun. We bring them along to the gigs. Having fun is not a crime. Being ignorant is.
Round 1..
I flip into NST cartoon section. 0-1
Round 2..
I don’t really like HUJAN as much as ppl adore them. 0-1
Round 3..
There’s no such rounds,wins or loose anyway. No offence.
My point is, ppl are not as homogen as it may seem. Not everybody hails hedonism.
And not to forget that it may seem as escapism, but there are selections being made and maybe for me, i just watch just to pass my time or to see what is current or what is the changes in televisyen nowadays.(and perhaps,one of my ‘homework’ to prepare me in broadcasting)
Rally? Some did for the right thing but some are just trapped in a set up trap lured by certain ppl gaining something out of it. Careful dear, we may just be one of the high spirited teenagers rebelling for a reason that we ourself may not know why we did it.
I believe in educating teenager, agent of change. Even if they are small but they make a big difference. Politics are just politics by the filthy power craver and also maybe a platform where ppl misintepret intentions of those who really tries to do their job (like some did).
Thing is, we must be politically right to be political. Know the politics to survive their poilitics. It happens among us student itself,as low as it can to the higher ranks.
I can only take from a word of one of the teachers in my life that a goverment is corrupted bcoz the advisors are corrupted by giving wrong advise (even the noblest leader can be brought down bcoz of them) It did to Saidina Ali and it did during the Turk Sultanate by the so-called modern Al Tarturk. Why look far when it happen itself to Malacca and perhaps now?
Things will change by itself, ppl are getting educated but the difference is. Who will lead? Who will follow? And who you choose to be in the end? Maybe it is a diversion but some day, they will get to an age where they will stop and think for themselves. Same goes to subcultures, it ends when they get old. Its not their level of mind yet, bcoz they haven’t reached that stage. But to those who are aware, keep on making ppl aware, maybe by these small contributions, there might be changes coz changes takes time and it takes time to build a nation as it did to the west or Japan.
Im still learning too. But i just don’t think rally isn’t the answer. Until when? Until when we should be marching instead of learning and being somebady who can actually ‘march’ in a different way? March with mind, not just plain talk(get caught etc). Why should we follow things that may just be another ideological apparatus by the west and now they try to be spread it here too? Such a copy-cat are we? Rally too can be a diversion u know, looking for freedom of rights? What is right? What is freedom? To act right? Define. To be free? Define. Yo probably will find the meanings in wikipedia or suaram? Which rakyat actually appoint them to be their voices? No offence ,to me its more like taking advantage by using such term & meanings. Freedom of right should also know what is the right way to be rightful. Honour the peoples freedom, and respect the rights of others who may not be as interested as what they are doing. At least not me.
There are borders to be respected no matter how shit it may seem. Its not naturally happen, yes. But remember,who made the law at the first place. Look up. And you know where. Difference is those down there, messed up somewhere so that they can make their own law. But human law will never work, someday it will end and new ppl will replace them. Power can be a continuity, if it change, it will continue to another power and it makes no difference. You can call it capitalist and yet its still another way of capitalizing in communism, you call your self liberal but you still go for the same capital. Different name but same purpose. The only difference is, who will it be? Who will continue and changing what had been continued?
Even though i may look like a pro-goverment, i love my country …so what? If anyone talking about not being satisfied of this and that, then go and move out, go see other country and you’ll never see any country like we had here. Even UK pays its own price, they may seem ‘free’ but are u sure they are that free? Check their tax, they pay every dime on everything. There is no goverment that can be 100% perfect.
Im rather much looking in a holistic view, maybe somewhat ‘atas pagar’ but more of a spectator, but im trying to make a difference too, so do others, or maybe more later i hope. Maybe i should be thankful to already being exposed to certain things that help me to see it in these way. If only others see, rubbish…i dont think they even bother about it. Im tired of it,maybe im the one who will fade away. Maybe not, i just dont know yet. All i know is that im trying to hang on, to still being positive and maybe a bit pessimistic on certain things. I dont know how much changes will happen in the future but i hope YOU, YOU, YOU and those whoz been contributing to these small changes will one day make a wave and keep their word. Can you?
Well said syefa. Till now, i, myself have been ignorant. =).
Hopefully with more consciousness i will not be that much ignorant? haha.
anyway, good piece of writing to shamala and you!!! =)
Hi S,
I’m glad you gave that long-ish reply to Syefa. I’m sure she’ll have something to say for herself and I shall not attempt to represent her views or anyone else’s for that matter. Meanwhile, it will be my pleasure to unclog some of the mainstream views so succinctly reproduced in your arguments.
“Not everybody hails hedonism. And not to forget that it may seem as escapism, but there are selections being made and maybe for me, i just watch just to pass my time…”
Escapism may not necessarily determine apathy, ignorance, nor bliss (unfortunately). But escapism in the context of being frustrated within the boxed up world of perceived realities is perhaps what the author tried to argue against. That choices are pre-determined by certain classes in society hence makes an individual’s choice inevitably limited is nevertheless an indication of how power and control in society aren’t concepts alien to popular culture or escapism for that matter. Point is, humans indulge in escapism, Syefa isn’t proposing we become “minah ketats” but when entertainment is considered safe but reason and consciousness so dangerous, isn’t something really wrong here?
“Rally? Some did for the right thing but some are just trapped in a set up trap lured by certain ppl gaining something out of it. Careful dear, we may just be one of the high spirited teenagers rebelling for a reason that we ourself may not know why we did it.”
If you still do not know why people took to the streets other than because it is oppositionistic, then I would suggest you find out. This condescending view of street demonstrators being ignorant of the causes they represent, I believe, is a manifestation of one’s own ignorance indeed. Even if you still disagree with the reasons people go to the streets, wouldn’t you respect street demos as the last option for people who do not have other avenues (ie, the media) to voice their concerns.
“I believe in educating teenager, agent of change. Even if they are small but they make a big difference. Politics are just politics by the filthy power craver and also maybe a platform where ppl misintepret intentions of those who really tries to do their job (like some did). Thing is, we must be politically right to be political. Know the politics to survive their poilitics. It happens among us student itself,as low as it can to the higher ranks.”
How do you be “politically right” without being conscious? Is ignorance bliss? Is escapism the answer? How can one be an agent of change without knowing what needs changing? I believe Syefa’s call for young students to stand up and open their eyes to the various inequalities in society is far more valuable than one Professor’s blinkered idea that social inequalities are ideological assumptions, yeah, bloody assumptions that possibly aren’t real.
“I can only take from a word of one of the teachers in my life that a goverment is corrupted bcoz the advisors are corrupted by giving wrong advise (even the noblest leader can be brought down bcoz of them) It did to Saidina Ali and it did during the Turk Sultanate by the so-called modern Al Tarturk. Why look far when it happen itself to Malacca and perhaps now?”
Ahhh… so we should just blame Khairy instead? I don’t buy this. Governance is institutional, not individual. When you don’t look beyond individuals, you forget structures are corrupt because structures are collective. Many individual politicians have tried to initiate “change-within-the-system” and have failed because the problem lies not within the system but with the system itself. Recent mainstream news has stressed so heavily on “national unity”, “stability”, and “development”. Will an individual within that ideological system question how unity cannot come through contestations between racially divided parties who champion racial causes whilst at the same time claim to promote integration and tolerance?
“Things will change by itself, ppl are getting educated but the difference is. Who will lead? Who will follow? And who you choose to be in the end? Maybe it is a diversion but some day, they will get to an age where they will stop and think for themselves. Same goes to subcultures, it ends when they get old. Its not their level of mind yet, bcoz they haven’t reached that stage. But to those who are aware, keep on making ppl aware, maybe by these small contributions, there might be changes coz changes takes time and it takes time to build a nation as it did to the west or Japan.”
Change doesn’t come “by itself” and people don’t just get “educated”. I suggest you read Althusser’s “Reply to John Lewis” and “Ideology and Ideological State Apparatuses”. History isn’t ready-made, education isn’t neutral, and change comes through the class struggle. I believe the day Malaysians look beyond race will be the day class consciousness becomes the agent of change. Do our ruling political masters want Malaysians to look beyond race and religion?
“Im still learning too. But i just don’t think rally is the answer. Until when? Until when we should be marching instead of learning and being somebady who can actually ‘march’ in a different way? March with mind, not just plain talk(get caught etc). Why should we follow things that may just be another ideological apparatus by the west and now they try to be spread it here too? Such a copy-cat are we? Rally too can be a diversion u know, looking for freedom of rights? What is right? What is freedom? To act right? Define. To be free? Define.

Freedom of right should also know what is the right way to be rightful. Honour the peoples freedom, and respect the rights of others who may not be as interested as what they are doing. At least not me.”
Malaysians who march for justice, free and fair elections, or against racial injustices do not march to “get caught”. They march in spite of the many undemocratic threats issued by the an undemocratic state. These are brave women and men who believe that plain talk and idle thinking aren’t answers, too. You seem to be very antagonistic towards the “West” and their “evangelistic” spread. If you want to believe the images RTM feeds you regarding “budaya kita”, then I would suggest you witness first hand (or through videos) the peaceful public rallies Malaysians have organised. I also suggest you look at the state sanctioned violence that is dished out. Is using excessive police force, tear gas, beatings, and arrests, erm, what you would call “right”? Define
Is “Saya pantang dicabar” what you would call “freedom”? Define 
And how does Suaram “take advantage” of whatever you understand them to be taking advantage of? I respect your right to be indignant about not wanting to participate in rallies, but I’d surely appreciate if you would tell us why you think rallies interfere with your constitutional and democratic right as a citizen of Malaysia.
“There are borders to be respected no matter how shit it may seem. Its not naturally happen, yes. But remember,who made the law at the first place. Look up. And you know where. Difference is those down there, messed up somewhere so that they can make their own law. But human law will never work, someday it will end and new ppl will replace them. Power can be a continuity, if it change, it will continue to another power and it makes no difference. You can call it capitalist and yet its still another way of capitalizing in communism, you call your self liberal but you still go for the same capital. Different name but same purpose. The only difference is, who will it be? Who will continue and changing what had been continued?”
Malaysians aren’t calling for anarchy, we have never called for absolute freedom of the press for that matter. But can you legitimise the current state of affairs without even questioning how absolute prerogative to make decisions at their discretion is given to individuals who hold power in the state?
“Even though i may look like a pro-goverment, i love my country …so what? If anyone talking about not being satisfied of this and that, then go and move out, go see other country and you’ll never see any country like we had here. Even UK pays its own price, they may seem ‘free’ but are u sure they are that free? Check their tax, they pay every dime on everything. There is no goverment that can be 100% perfect.”
We won’t move out and let injustice rule our beloved country. No thank you. We’d rather stay and work for change. Ignorance isn’t bliss, I invite you to come on board, for a better Malaysia.
“Im rather much looking in a holistic view, maybe somewhat ‘atas pagar’ but more of a spectator, but im trying to make a difference too, so do others, or maybe more later i hope. Maybe i should be thankful to already being exposed to certain things that help me to see it in these way. If only others see, rubbish…i dont think they even bother about it. Im tired of it,maybe im the one who will fade away. Maybe not, i just dont know yet. All i know is that im trying to hang on, to still being positive and maybe a bit pessimistic on certain things. I dont know how much changes will happen in the future but i hope YOU, YOU, YOU and those whoz been contributing to these small changes will one day make a wave and keep their word. Can you?”
If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything. We can, and we will when we stop sitting on BN’s fence.
Dear EK,
Thank you for your comments. Let me make this clear for you and all who readers out there:
1) Its not just khairy solely to be the one corrupted. Even a secretary can corrupt an account.
Back then there was the Khalifate/Sultanate where problems are solved in a very good deal of discussions among the intellects,ulama’s and the Sultans themselve(taking account to our history), yet they threw out what was already perfect for them. There were Sultans who act as Kings in the west but they bring them down ( without denying that there are bad kings, but what did the Kings men do?) Then, they created democracy, and capitalism the liberalism and more and more terminology but no -cy’s was perfect enough to turn all this right. Even there was Hadhari. The west had been the key player way back from the Crusade, and they did it very well to control us even after our ‘freedom’. But thats ok, at least it made us start somewhere. Made us learn along the way about how to run our country etc.
2) I support neither BN nor suaram. I mention suaram bcoz it uses its own ’symbol’ to give certain ‘meanings’ throughout whatever they are doing. Same like PAS, which i prefer them not to use the word ‘Islam’ as their party name. Bcoz it links to Islam like Al Qaeda did, in the end, Islam to be blame. Thats all. Advantage, is what i see them doing. Go into an issue, stir the water and seemingly supporting them but in the end, its the same power they are for. But, i guess im still green to know how far that is true. But the way they are doing is as if they are bad and themselves are good.Therefore vote for us.
3) I respect them actually for doing these march. But i believe that marching with mind is better than march itself. No, its not right to take on violence but there are cases that the marchers itself provokes the authority and captures parts of the beating and actions as an act of injustice while its actually the other way round.Still, we are both throwing back the questions of ‘right’ and ‘freedom’ to ourselve. Be it oppositions or not , they are still from the same. Bcoz the ‘left’ started of with the ‘right’ and when they don’t achieve what they want, they turn left. Still, they both need each other, if not politics would be dull.
4) I dont know RTM have that ‘budaya kita’, but it certainly wasn’t our culture actually. We started marching bcoz we wanted to be free from British. Aren’t we free now? Than what is it? I believe there is a longer ‘discussions’ here and i can expect your answer. But lets not get into that yet ok. Else this may take longer to reply. All the questions that you’ve laid out will best be answer once i gain knowledge on those issue. For sure that its best to talk when we have the right mind and knowledge on the issue itself,right? Guess there are still much things for me to learn.Thank you for your suggestions, i would look into that matter later on. As for now, i believe my studies are much more important.
5) I have no bad intentions towards Syefa’s writings, she is briliant in most of her writings and i respect her point of view. I tried to keep it short but i always end up extending the number of words. Its just my point of view anyway. Hope i do no harm to anybody’s feelings.
If i did, i apologize. I was just being honest.
p/s: There are more crucial issue,I suggest you read:

Sakiinah
Salam dari kejauhan buat kawan-kawan semua
Debat yg panjang lebar ini bermula seperti suatu pendedahan (expository) berdasarkan pemerhatian penulis(syefa) terhadap keadaan masyarakatnya di Malaysia. Tentang escapism kolektif masyarakat melalui hiburan yang berunsurkan Hedonism. Kita boleh berdebat tentang kebenaran berdasarkan sistem pemerintahan Demokrasi dan sampai kiamat kita akan masih berdebat!
Sistem pemerintahan kita adalah sistem penjajah(sekular) dan bukan sistem yang sepatutnya iaitu sistem ISLAM yang LENGKAP merangkumi seluruh hidup manusia itu, dari disambut kelahirannya sehingga di jemput kematian. Lihat apa yang berlaku sekarang tiada seorang pun yg akan berasa
selamat tinggal di Malaysia! Anak-anak dilarikan, diculik dibunuh. Manusia semakin kejam semata-mata untuk kepuasan nafsu sendiri.
Saya dah masuk 26 tahun 2008 ini, masih menuntut di peringkat sarjana sampai sekarang saya masih tidak tahu di mana saya hendak salurkan permasalahan yang saya lihat berlaku di hadapan mata saya.
Misalnya:
1. polis, pegawai kerajaan yang korupsi, yang amalkan kronisma, dan yang amalkan nepotisma.
2. kegiatan pelacuran di Bukit Bintang berleluasa sampai sekarang!
3. Masalah mat rempit yg semakin menjadi-jadi sekarang.(kerosakan moral berterusan remaja M’sia)
4. masalah kenaikan harga barang2 keperluan, bahanapi kenderaan.
5. soal ketelusan kerajaan menguruskan hasil cukai(wang rakyat) dalam pembinaan infrastruktur
negara.(ini ada dalam akta Rahsia kerajaan ni)
6. Soal agihan wang zakat yang bernilai lebih 200 juta kepada fakir miskin( sistem agihan yg
lapuk dan prejudis kepada golongan miskin)
7. Soal Modal insan (nasib Adiputra anak pintar dari keluarga kelas pertengahan) pihak kerajaan
hanya berdiam diri nasib baik ada pihak UNISEL selamat kan anugerah kepintaran Allah itu.
8. Isu alam sekitar seperti isu penternakan babi di Melaka.
9. Isu ayam yg diberi makanan dari sumber daging/ enzim babi( kalau betul perlu diperiksa).
10. Masalah Polisi tunggu dan lihat kerajaan (bertindak reaktif hanya selepas berlakunya kematian barulah ada penguatkuasaan yg bersifat bermusim.
senarai ni boleh panjang lagi ni…
saya masih pelajar dan sampai sekarang saya masih dengar yg pelajar tidak boleh melibatkan diri dalam politik.(atau pun pergerakkan politik yg anti-kerajaan?)
Pro-kerajaan boleh ke?
Jadi di manakah saluran betul pewaris kepimpinan negara Malaysia kita mahu menyuarakan pendapat jujur dan ikhlas untuk menambah baik keadaan masyarakat Malaysia secara keseluruhannya?
saya menyokong pendapat penulis(syefa) tentang media yg melalaikan generasi muda daripada berfikir dan saya juga menyokong perjuangan yg lebih bermakna dengan menggunakan media untuk menyalurkan pendapat kita secara bertulis berdasarkan fakta yg tepat dengan hikmah.
(mendidik melalui sastera giat dilakukan oleh penulis Faisal Tehrani)
Tidak perlu berkumpul dan mempamerkan kekerasan dan vandalisma.
Kita perlukan lebih banyak penulis yg ikhlas dan objektif tentang tujuan dan niat penulisannya itu. kita mesti mencabar media barat dengan media kita. Kita mesti mempunyai penapis Budaya dan
Agama sendiri. Contoh media barat yg paling besar mempunyai pengaruh dalam hidup kita ialah National Geographic (u.s) mencampurkan fakta dan dongeng yg kemudian dipanggil Sains. soal evolusi manusia dari beruk tu semua dongeng si Darwin tu.
Kesimpulan saya, kita perlu bersifat objektif dan mengikut panduan kita Al-Quran dan Hadis.
Kita mesti menggunakan hikmah dan ilmu dalam usaha kita membaiki keadaan masyarakat kita.
saya harap saya tak lari tajuk ya… tak sangka boleh panjang macam ni komenta ini.
oo-kay..
calm down everyone.
*breathe-in*breathe-out*
good.
thanks to sakinah for your “brief” comment.
(ahahaha)
(gelak tak ikhlas.)
=D
thanks to li ying for her compliments. actually, shamala n ek punya lagi best lah..n i bet you can write also kaaan..?? *wink*wink*
thanks for everyone who commented on this particular writing of mine.
thanks to ek. he pretty much explained in detail what i meant in the article.
but, i nak jugak tambah! haha!
so here it goes.
to my dearest sakinah;
okay,first and foremost, i NEVER mention that EVERYBODY hails hedonism.then,why are you tripping?unless you are one of them who ACTUALLY hails hedonism, which i believe you are not. no offence.
cartoon=entertainment. enough said.
i dont expect EVERYBODY adores hujan. including you.
(anyway thanks for informing me about hujan coming to penang this weekend.)
round 1? 2? 3?
who says anything about losing or winning?
it’s a metaphor lah sayaaaaang..
no offence.
okaylah.to better “express” my voice, i will now use bahasa, my current favourite language.(i actually hate writing in english lah sekarang..)
baik.untuk kenyataan anda yg satu ini,
“but there are selections being made..”
seleksi yg anda maksudkan disitu adalah sangat vague. pilihan? apa pilihan yg kita ada? terutama sekali, apa pilihan yg di sediakan oleh free to air channel untuk kita? rancangan pendidikan? kalau setakat disiarkan di tv9, di channel yg tak ramai jumlah penonton,dan pada waktu yg org tak membuka televisi mereka,buat apa?dokumentari?kalau tentang makhluk halus dan cara untuk menangkap hantu dalam botol, baik tak payah.kalau tentang keskes jenayah yg berlaku baik tak payah.999 misalnya, pada aku hanya meng’up-date’ kita tentang jenayah yg berlaku. itu kita tak perlu.dah banyak akhbar yg siarkan masalahmasalah jenayah ni.apa yg diperlukan adalah satu rancangan dimana kita menganalisis bagaimana kita sebagai masyarakat boleh mengambil peranan untuk mengatasi masalah ini dan kita perlu kaji, mengapa masalahmasalah macam ni berlaku. Apa yg provoke penjenayah itu untuk membuat jenayah itu. But, that kind of stories tak boleh jual kan. Siapa nak tengok? Orang nak tengok Spa Q je. Norish Karman hot.tengoklah apa rancangan yg selalu ditayangkan waktu primetime dan kamu akan dapat melihat refleksi tentang masyarakat kita kini. Kerana rancangan rancangan itu disusun mengikut survey yg dijalankan terhadap masyarakat Malaysia. Dan ternyata, masyarakat Malaysia tak sukalah sangat nak tengok bendabenda serius ni kan.. and I’m not saying EVERYONE tak suka tengok-tengok benda serius. Sebab aku tahu kau suka.
Jelas lah. Masyarakat tak punya pilihan kerana mereka sebenarnya tak cermat memilih.
“and maybe for me, i just watch just to pass my time…”
Maybe? Nampaknya kamu sendiri kurang pasti tentang apa yg kamu claim. No offence.
“Rally? Some did for the right thing but some are just trapped in a set up trap lured by certain ppl gaining something out of it. Careful dear, we may just be one of the high spirited teenagers rebelling for a reason that we ourself may not know why we did it.”
Sayang..orang tak pergi join rally sukasuka aje. Like I said, sapa yg nak pegi kalau mereka tahu dah sah sah mereka akan menghadapi keadaan seperti possible detention, police brutality, acid-laced water cannon, tear gas yg dari sebatu pun boleh memedihkan mata. Orang normal mana yg mahu? Orang waras mana yg nakkan semua itu? Trapped? I don’t think people is THAT stupid to be trapped in that kind of situation. Melainkan masa sebelum pegi rally tu dia minum 2 dozen beer cap Anchor. Confirm tak waras.
“Until when we should be marching instead of learning and…”
Part mana pulak aku suggest para remaja masakini untuk join rally? Haisshh..
“Why should we follow things that may just be another ideological apparatus by the west…”
Kita? Malaysians? Copy cat? Sayang, aku STRONGLY suggest kamu to check out this link: http://10tahun.blogspot.com/2007/11/demonstrasi-bukan-amalan-demokrasi.html
..dan ada banyak lagi bukti bukti perjuangan nenek moyang kita di situ yg kamu katakan kita “copy-cat” budaya barat tu. No offence.
“…suaram? Which rakyat actually appoint them to be their voices? No offence ,to me its more like taking advantage by using such term & meanings.”
Adakah kamu sebenarnya tahu apa sebenarnya diperjuangkan oleh suaram? Nanti saya berikan anda pamphlet tentang suaram ye sayang..aku pun baru dapat last week.
“If anyone talking about not being satisfied of this and that, then go and move out, go see other country and you’ll never see any country like we had here.”
Jika ada satusatu kenyataan yg boleh membuatkan aku me-roll kan bola mata aku 360 darjah adalah apabila ada kenyataan di atas dikeluarkan oleh rakyat malaysia zaman millenium.2008 dah ni. Masiiiiiih juga ada yg berfikiran sebegini. Maaf ya sayang.aku memang tersinggung dengan kenyataan kamu diatas. FYI, kita semua, melayu (suku jawa, mandailing yg melambak di tanah ni.dari indonesia.), cina (dari china, obviously), india (yaaa…dari dari mana lagi dong..) adalah pendatang.kalau diikutkan, orang asli je yg layak untuk suruh kita keluar dari tanah ini (where monsoon meets). Mereka adalah the indigenous people of this land. Mereka sebenarnya yg berhak menghalau kita dari tanah ini. Tapi lihat keadaan mereka kini.. terperosok dalam hutan. Tiada pembangunan. Apa hak kita sebagai so-called rakyat indigenous peole of this land untuk meghalau-halau orang yg mempunyai perasaan tak puas hati? First of all, tanya kenapa mereka tak puas hati? Apa yg tak puas hati? Kalau negara kita dah penuh dengan korupsi dan ketidakadilan, takkan kita nak duduk diam dan berpuas hati memandang orang ditindas dan di muzzle mulutnya. Sure-lah mereka tak puas hati kan? Tak salah aku ada menteri pernah membuat kenyataan yg lebih kurang sama macam statemnent kamu di atas ni. Entah sapa nama dia. Aku tak sure. Tak penting langsung. Apa ada pada nama. Statement diorg tu yg penting. Pada aku lah, baca “malaysian politician says the darndest thing” adalah hiburan yg kelakar nak mati sama kelakar dengan calvin n hobbes dan kita dapat lihat level of maturity sesetengah menteri yg telah di elect oleh org ramai tu.
“…dont know how much changes will happen in the future but i hope YOU, YOU, YOU and those whoz been contributing to these small changes will one day make a wave and keep their word.”
Hmmm.. Kontradiksi. Orangorang TELAH pun contribute untuk perubahan. It’s either kita sedar atau tidak tentang kontribusi mereka-mereka yg kurang dari segi nombor ini. Contoh? And that would be, BERSIH; orangorang yg menuntut keadilan dan ketelusan dalam pilihanraya. HINDAF;orangorang yg BANGUN menuntut hak-hak mereka yg telah di neglect. Rally oleh para peguam; orangorang yg menuntut sistem judiciary negara disemak semula. Ini adalah bentuk perubahan kecil atau wave yg kamu sebut di atas. Orangorang inilah yg contribute to perubahanperubahan skala kecil. Kalau orangorang sebegini ditutup mulutnya? Macamana nak buat ombak (wave)?
Dan..kamu mungkin tidak pernah menyertai rally. Apaapa rally. Aku pun tak pernah. Tapi melalui bacaan aku yg tak seberapa, aku difahamkan, mereka bergerak secara aman hinggalah provokasi dari pihak polis berlaku. Itu pun bukan mereka baling batu ke apa.. Yg nampak macam riot tu sebab mereka cuba lari dari terkena water canon atau tear gas. Takkanlah nak berdiri masa kena pancut dengan air tu pulak kan? Sure lah kena lari. Padahal..sebelum provokasi, mereka jalan baikbaik. Siap ada rules jangan pijak tumbuh tumbuhan, stay jalan atas pavement, jangan rosakkan harta awam dn lain lain. Banyak kalau aku nak taip sini. Kamu bacalah Aliran vol 27 (9).
Hah..banyaknya aku cakap. Tapi best jugak. Dapatlah aku cakap pasal politik sikit sebab selalu aku asyik cakap pasal benda-benda cool je kan? Hohohoho!!
Waw. Its getting HOT in here.
Wei, apasal aku jarang buka u all punye blog ni?hehe.
Mm. Panjangnya comment…waw. Since I’m not that good writing in english like saudari Sity Syarifah did, so I just write in BM. Or BI (Bahasa Indonesia.hehe.) Ada apa-apa ayat yang tak faham, langsung tanya vega. Okay, enough bout that intermezzo. Let’s go to the main topic now.
First of all, since I’m not Malaysian, I’m trying to understand bout this situation and I can’t afford to compare this situation with situation in my country as well. Kerana kejadian macam gini (ya Allah..teruknya ayat) terjadi juga di negara saya. Jika saya boleh cerita sedikit, dulu pada masa 1998 terjadi krisis hegemoni besar-besaran di Indonesia. Semua kejelekan Soeharto (yang pada masa itu menjabat sebagai presiden Indonesia) diluahkan oleh para wartawan dan mahasiswa melalui media. Tidak sedikit wartawan yang ditangkap pada ketika itu. Para mahasiswa yang dianggap provokator pun ditangkap. FYI, banyaaaaaaakkk sekali persatuan-persatuan mahasiswa di Indonesia. Pada Mei 1998, mereka semua bergabung dan mengadakan long march di jalanan. Its like chaos happening in Jakarta. Mereka menuntut Soeharto meletak jawatan. Bahkan mereka menduduki gedung MPR-DPR (Majelis Perwakilan Rakyat)! Pada masa itu saya baru berusia sepuluh tahun. Jangan tanya pasal political awareness. Sama lah jugak dengan kawan-kawan semua. Apabila peristiwa mei 13 terjadi, u all pada masa tu umur berapa? Okay, what I want to tell is, kita sebagai mahasiswa sebetulnya memiliki dua keuntungan. Pertama, keuntungan dari segi ekonomi. Tidak banyak yang boleh mencapai tingat pendidikan setinggi ini. Kedua, keuntungan dari segi politik. Di posisi inilah suara kita diperhitungkan. Sebagai mahasiswa, kita punya hak untuk didengar. Balik kepada peristiwa mei 1998, bila tak silap aku ada 4 orang mahasiswa yang mati ditembak polis (ralat : tertembak. Entah polis mana pulak yang tembak mereka). Dan hingga kini mereka dikenang sebagai pahlawan reformasi. For Sakinah, dalam konteks Indonesia, having a rally or a march like BERSIH and PEGUAM did, is something that really usual. I usually see that on TV. Thank God there is MetroTV. Now I feel really aware about this kind of act. But I feel a bit of surprised that you kata demonstration macam ni bukan tradisi Malaysia. I think Malaysia pun dulu banyak berdemo juga, apalagi pada masa merebut kemerdekaan dari British. I knew that from Prof. Zaharom. Oh God, I feel like I want to read the book about Malaysian History. Ada yang nak bagi pinjam?
Kedua, hampir dua tahun tinggal di Malaysia, membuat saya semakin mengetahui bahawa Malaysia is really different from Indonesia. Since I’m student, so saya melihat perbezaan dari segi mahasiswanya. Benar kata syefa, bahawa kita sebagai anak muda sepatutnya aware dengan political issues dan bukan hanya aware dengan benda-benda yang konon cool sahaja. For Syefa, di Indonesia, mahasiswanya pun tengok heroes juga. Tengok concert juga. Tapi ‘persatuan mahasiswa’ itu menjadi sangat penting untuk mereka mengekspresikan diri. Mereka sering memilih untuk melakukan demonstration. Why? Kerana mereka tahu bahawa hanya dengan cara itu idea-idea dan protes-protes mereka dapat betul-betul didengar. Kerana mereka meyakini bahawa tak ada gunanya hanya bincang di blog-bolg saja tanpa adanya aksi yang real. Aksi yang boleh menunjukkan eksistensi mereka sebagai mahasiswa. Sebagai tokoh yang intelek.
Ketiga, saya amat bersyukur pada sem ini saya mendapat mata kuliah 212 dan 213. Dari satu sem ke sem yang lain, kita sebagai pelajar seperti diberi lecturer yang semakin ’kritikal’ dan ’berbahaya’ seiring dengan bertambahnya sem (semester). Kedua-dua subject ini seperti me-refresh kembali memori kita tentang apa yang dulu puan wang pernah bincang masa 111 dan apa yang prof.mus, prof.zaharom, dan puan wang bincang masa 103. Mohon maaf bila ini menjadi sangat personal. Tapi bagi saya, ini seperti menaikkan kembali political awareness saya. Tentang apa yang sepatutnya kita fikirkan. Tentang apa yang sepatutnya kita buat. Tentang apa yang sudah government buat pada kita. Tentang fungsi media yang betul-betul harus neutral, kerana ia merupakan distributor, penyambung suara rakyat. Sesungguhnya mereka (segenap lecturer tercinta kita) bukannya menyuruh kita untuk pro BN atau menyokong parti pembangkang. Tapi intinya, mereka memberi kita benda untuk berfikir. Untuk kita telitikan. Untuk kita analisis. Hasilnya? Saya yakin di dunia ini tidak ada yang semula jadi. Even for media itself. Ada maksud-maksud tertentu di sebalik itu.
Keempat, talk about media, since we all just can watch free-air-tv, kita tak ada pilihan. Kenapa semuanya kebanyakannya hiburan? Kerana dari konsep TV itu sendiri, orang nak dapatkan hiburan daripada tu. Orang beli TV bukan untuk tengok benda-benda yang membosankan kan? Masyarakat tak payah susah-susah keluar duit untuk dapatkan hiburan. Kerana mereka sudah mendapatkannya melalui televisyen. Tetapi bukan berarti kita terima begitu saja. Itu terlalu semula jadi. Again, kita sebagai mahasiswa punya peranan untuk itu. Mungkin setakat ini kita hanya boleh berdebat melalui blog atau menuangkan segala pemikiran melalui tulisan yang kemungkinan besar tidak dibaca oleh masyarakat awam yang bahkan tidak mengenal internet (ehem. Ingat tak issue ni pernah kita bincang di subject apa?). Tapi sungguh, itu bukanlah hal yang sama sekali tidak ada ertinya. We must to do something. But, since I’m coming from Indonesia, so I feel like I have to contribute something to my ‘persatuan’. This is very important for people like me to express our ideas. Because we are MAHASISWA.
(Ah! susahnya berfikir pasal benda yang serius di tengah malam-malam buta macam ni! Dah lah esok cuti. Haha. Macam ni lah pemikiran anak muda zaman sekarang. ;D)
[aman damai. 23 januari 2008]
[03.17 am]
hi guys..
what a longgggggggg debate u guys been havin. and syefa,grades are not important? well… i can’t say that it’s not important AT ALL but yeah,the knowledge we gain is far more crucial compared to what dr Hamima would say “A terkangkang-kangkang”. hehehe, kinda miss dr Hamima lately. are we ignorant? u can answer that for yourself but mind me, i WAS. just to tell, i was raised in a pro-government (or to be more exact pro BN) family. my grandma (yeah u got it right, my GRANDMA) was a urm, can i call her a BN fanatic? she was a ketua UMNO Cawangan for some time, and during hari raya my granny’s house was hectic with the visits from some ketua cawangans or wakil rakyat and their cronies, and that time i was proud to be a part of the picture. for almost 20 years of my life, i believed that dr M was the most incredible person on earth (coz grandmama said so) and BN is the sole reason of the ‘prosperity’ we are enjoying today (coz mama said so).
the pn wang stepped into my small brain and shred all of the sweet perceptions.
now i too believe that the media is doing a good job in diverting us from seeing the truth. now don’t misunderstand me, i’m not anti-media, i never missed a super series match and my Mr. Joy (my headphone) is attached to my ears 20 hours a day. but the thing is, when we’re not ignorant anymore, we tend to perceive things differently. like last week when malaysians are cheering for chong wei’s victory and all mainstream newspapers had his victorius face on the back page,i realised that people seem to ignore the facts that 4 malaysian players are quitting to join KLRC, or why the 2007 super series masters final had not been held yet (we started 2008’s super series without crowning a champion), or the stirring inside BWF since it moved its headquarters to KL.
i think most people, like our miss S are not ignorant. they are just afraid. i can bet most of us wont give a damn to malaysian politics before enrolling into USM. like myself, the shift of paradigm was like having myself shaken and thrown from a 20-storey building, it was hard at first, i even hated myself. it felt like a betrayal to my family. but with time AND exposure, i overcame it.
we (in this context i refer to malays) had been living very comfortly (or so we think) for the rest of our lives. most of us didn’t have to worry about having to buy textbooks while in school (SPBT, remember?) and we were so damn confident that we were secured a place in IPTA’s that we didn’t have to work so hard to fill in. we were happy. we were satisfied. so what else should we ask for?
people are afraid to imagine how life is gonna be like without SPBT, subsidiaries, quotas and stuff like that. they are afraid to get out of their so-called comfort lives and look at the not-so-lucky others. like the govt always said, we are living in harmony, don’t change that.and so we won’t.
society is not like a simple “gunting,batu,kain” game. there are differences within and between each group, be it racial or religious group. we face conflicts everyday. we are facing changes, no matter how small. don’t be afraid to admit that. it’s time to break down the wall and broaden our minds.
buat Syefa.
i hope this is my last comment sbb mcm dah sakit kepala sejak smlm. fine i get ur point and u got me ckp bnyk suddenly. at least for now. It seems that this have trigger a lot of opinion. baguslah, rancak sikit kan kasikampus. And bnyknye no offence anda, especially the part ur offended. Hope our differences wont change us to still be ‘buddies’.
Maybe i should rephrase that the hedonism that we see happening on youth nowadays might not apply to everyone. Thats why i mention that ppl are not homogenous. Selections, i mean, some don’t really watch tv, go to concerts etc. Different ppl does different things. But its true tho what u see in tv are more towards entertainment. The ‘maybe’, its confirmed. i dont watch tv much often now that we have a lot of assignments waiting in line. i dont even know if i can call myself a communication student anymore. But thats not important bcoz what is there to watch in tv anyway.
The move out, its good to know that u all are going to stay. Id like to see that changes bcoz im not convinced to any parties to make me vote for them or sign up to be a voter. The thing is, when we go outside this country and see how different it is the democracy/liberalism/sosialism etc compared to us. We’d appreciate Msia better and see it differently (and i know ur grateful.)
Rally,rally,rally. Yes we had that but it was for the freedom from the British. I bet now they’ll be saying for the freedom of rights,media etc. Ok fine, malas nak ckp banyak. Dtg jumpa dr. hakimi, he can explain it better. i already got a lot of lectures from him. Only he can tell u the way i wanted to tell all.
p/s: tickets for Hujan sold out already.
to syefa..
ahaks.. aku men2 jer la syef oit..
kalau ang romantik mmg ang kawen.. tp syef romantik? adakah aku akn percaya? lempang aku 13 kali pun aku xpercaya..
(ahahaha)
ketawa xikhlas…
weh, aku dah baca tulisan ko yg baru yg ko curahkan dalam komunikasi kampus..
well, this is my comment, shortly..? hehe..
Setiap person mempunyai pandangan berbeza dalam mengenalpasti sesuatu kejadian. terpulang pada person tu menilai dari pandangan positif, negatif mahupun pandangan kepentingan serta peribadi. aku menilai kes yang kau timbulkan melalui pandangan peribadi bukan berkepentingan. aku mahu kedepankan apa yg aku cerita ni kerana kita kena tau the general case sebelum meredah case yg kuhusus dan kechil. Maaf jika terlari topik..
Isu BERSIH: yg mana kita suka? Penukaran kerajaan? Kemerosotan ekonomi? Malaysia diumpat seantero dunia? Agenda politik bangsa tertentu? Adakah perhimpunan tu sekadar nk mintak ketelusan kerajaan menangani kesaksamaan pilihanraya? Siapakah dalang sebenar perhimpunan tu? Kita kena kaji secermatnya dan mengenalpasti setiap kesan yg bakal berlaku after rally tu.. Apa yg pasti “Demonstrasi bukan amalan Demokrasi” tu ada benarnya.. Kerana kita tidak boleh percaya 100% terhdp demokrasi!
Bukti: Malaysia sejak merdeka tidak mengamalkan demokrasi tulen. Mengapa? Malaysia sebenarnya mengamalkan DEMOKRASI TERPIMPIN menguruskan politik dan sosial. Word ‘demokrasi terpimpin’ ada disebut dalam filem P.Ramlee (seingat aku Filem Tiga Abdul or Keluarga 69) P.Ramlee memang berpandangan jauh! Back to topik, apa itu ‘demokrasi terpimpin’?, it means kepimpinan melalui tauladan. bermakna rakyat mesti patuh/ikut kata pemimpin yg dipilih. Suka atau tidak akan pemimpin, mereka akan melakukan yg terbaik untuk rakyat. No objection. Nampak seperti kuku besi, tp berselindung atas nama demokrasi kerana kita mengamalkan pilihanraya.
Pendapat aku? Bagusla genre politik ni. Simple dan x kacau periuk nasi aku. Tp.. adakah ketauladanan pemimpin itu akan kekal? Jadi bagaimana nk mengatasinya? Kita kena choose pemimpin yang betul dan boleh diharapkan. Tp, (ish, tapi lagi!) Mencari pemimpin bertauladan sangat sukar di malaysia. kebanyakkan pemimpin suka berjuang atas nama kepentingan peribadi! Cth: Anwar Ibrahim, (aku benci dia) Sebab musabab: Nampak terang dia tu seorang radikal sejak dr Universiti sampai kena tangkap masuk penjara kerana berdemontrasi, entah cmana Mahathir bley pilih dia sbg menteri kewangan?? Melingkupkan duit kerajaan adalah. Cuma yg baik ttg dia dan aku setuju adalah dua perkara, Anwar menubuhkan ABIM dan ada connection kuat dengan USA. Perkembangan Islam Malaysia sangat kuat ketika era ABIM. Time ABIM ditubuhkan, barulah pemakaian tudung untuk tutup aurat meluas (pelajar wanita diwajibkan memakai tudung kesekolah, alhamdulillah). Connection USA? ha, banyak gak kontrak US melabur kat Malaysia bila Anwar jd menteri kewangan. Duit..Duit..
Kesimpulannya: 1. Demontrasi akn menjadi amalan rakyat jika tidak dibendung dan dididik
melalui penyelesaian masalah secara musyawarah.
2. Pemimpin akan memberi kesan baik dan buruk apabila membuat keputusan thdp
sesuatu kes. Sebgai rakyat, kita kena terima. Nobody’s perfect kan? Tp, kita
boleh menilai melalui cara pemimpin membuat keputusan. Relevan atau x?
Isu HINDRAF: Yang ni special kes. Aku tak nak la cerita pasal racist. Tp, realitinya memang macam racist. Mengapa kaum India memberontak? Mengapa yg memberontak golongan time tu bnyak dari kaum India berpendapatan rendah? Mengapa? Fikirkan betul2 dan musabah diri kita jika adalah true Malaysian. Adakah kerana mereka hidup susah? Adakah mereka melakukan kerana mahu menonjol? Melakukan kerana diupah sebab pilihanraya nk dekat? Melakukan untuk down kerajaan? Atau memang salah mereka kerana, mencetuskan huru-hara suka2 hati?
Bukti: Kaum India di Malaysia seolah masih ada kasta. Seperate kepada dua, berpendidikan dan tidak berpendididkan. Majoriti adalah tidak berpendidikan atau bertindak seperti tidak berpendidikan. Kaum india adalah kaum minoriti yang boleh ditafsir sebagai tidak menonjol dibandingkan kaum cina. Kaum cina terang2 menguasai ekonomi Malaysia. Lihat saja kedai2 yg dibuka kebanyakkan dari kaum cina. Kaum melayu pula menguasai arena politik dan sosial. Terang2 kita lihat menteri2 adalah banyak dari kaum melayu. Kaum India? tiada lagi perkara spesifik yg boleh ditonjolkan hingga kini? Mengapa?
Pendapat aku? Kaum India hingga kini tidak berusaha bersaing lebih agresif dalam pendidikan. Majority kaum India berpendapatan rendah kerana mereka kurang berjaya dalam pendidikan. Hanya 30% dari kaum India berjaya dalam pendidikan dan hidup mewah. Yang lain? Sekadar mengharap bantuan dari langit kot. Mereka sebnrnya tiada arah hinnga sanggup menuding kerajaan kerana tidak membantu mereka. Sedangkan sekolah, university mempunyai peluang terbuka untuk setiap kaum. Tanpa racist! tp, berapa ‘kerat’ sangat kita lihat pelajar dari kaum india di University terulung di Malaysia? Mengapa? Kaum cina juga adalah minority tetapi mereka semua mempunyai satu kesedaran dalam pendidikan hingga berjaya dalam ekonomi dan pelajar mereka memenuhi ruang dalam university terulung malaysia. Kaum Melayu? Tepuk dada, tanya selera. Anda sendiri tahu. Kaum India perlu bangkit dengan menanamkan sifat juang dalam pendidikan kerana dengan pendidikan sahaja yg dapt mengubah nasib hidup mereka. Life is cruel. Bantuan kerajaan? kerajaan dah buat yang termampu untuk kaum India setakat ni. sekolah Tamil, politik dalam MIC, bantuan subsidi. Come on Raju, Dewi. Bangkitlah kesdaran ttg pendidikan. sampai bila nk jaga kereta api? Sampai bila nk jual besi buruk? Kaum India sepatutnya mengambil contoh kejayaan Ananda Krisnan (org msia no. 2 pling kaya). Nah, bukan x bolehkan kaum India berjaya? Peneraju Maxis lagi. Saper kata India xboleh maju? Yang kata India xboleh maju adalah dari hati several org India sendiri yg tidak berusaha sungguh2 dalam pendidikan dan xnak terima kelemahan sendiri. Org seperti ni yang involve demontrasi HINDRAF.
Kesimpulan: 1. siapa usaha lebih, dia dapt ganjaran.
2. teringat kata-kata my grandfather(beliau merupakan pejuang komunis dahulu untuk
memusnahkan Jepun dan british!) “org cina kena blajar rajin2 untuk senang hidup
sebab diaorg bnyk pkai duit. kawen bnyak pkai duit, mati lagi bnyk pkai duit.
org mlayu kita kena blajar rajin2 untuk senang sebab org melayu bnyk dari
keluarga susah, blajar rajin2 sebab nk tolong mak ayah”katanya.”org india
atok?”tanya aku.”org india bnyk tak suka belajar, tp suka kerja keras, buat rel
lah, buat jalan raya, bukak estet” balas dia.
Maaflah jika lari tajuk dari debate yg dibuat nih, sajer jer bosan2 menaip di waktu lapang. Tp, sebagai mahasiswa dan mahasiswi. apa kita boleh buat untuk menangani masalah2 politik malaysia nih? nk ignore ker? haha.. sebelum apa2 pun nak lakukan.. kita kena check situasi dulu. sebab tuh aku post essay dan fakta kt atas nih. bertindak atas rasional bukan emosi ya?
to syefa.. alamak. ko mmg sempoi la. sori ek jika tlisan ku ni keterlaluan. luahan hati jer kot.
-q a r e e m-
kampus akhirnya berkomunikasi!
hahaha!
finally, a debate opens up after being a total boring site to some.
we clearly have different opinion on this particular topic.
and from here we can see different people with different perception.
with all respect, i understand and value each and every opinion stated by you guys. yes, sakinah we have our differences and no sakinah, just because i overuse the “no offence” phrase, doesn’t mean i am offended. i was being sarcastic.
yes qareem ku sayang, bertindak mengikut rasional dan bukan emosi.
“society is not like a simple “gunting,batu,kain” game. there are differences within and between each group, be it racial or religious group. we face conflicts everyday. we are facing changes, no matter how small. don’t be afraid to admit that. it’s time to break down the wall and broaden our minds.”
well said zima.applause.
i couldnt agree more when you said that youth are not ignorant, they’re just afraid.
it’ll take time to change mindsets.
Pertama-tama sekali qareem ingin memohon kemaafan jika ada sesiapa dari kaum India yg membaca post yg qareem keluarkan sebelum ni.. Qareem menulis mengikut fakta yang qareem baca,fikir,kaji,perhati dan rumusan.. Qareem adalah pelajar sains, maka hujah qareem adalah bersumberkan fakta nyata.
Kedua, selamat hari thaipusam untuk semua kaum India yg membaca ruangan nih.
Ketiga, terima kasih sayang kepada syefa kerana memberi peluang qareem menulis di ruangan ini. qareem faham yang society sampah akan lebih serius meghadapi cabaran akan datang. semoga syefa ku sayang dapat terlibat sama ya menaikkan sampahsociety. yay!
Future, banyakkan lagi topik yang bernas dan ideal untuk dibincangkan.. dapat memberi pendapat untuk mengembangkan fikiran lah..
-q a r e e m-
aHEM. Baru 3 hari tak jenguk, dah mcm ni? My goodness. Syefa. I pya comment just 2 baris je ye. Good job!
kepada saudara qareem,
Segala ‘fakta-fakta’ yang anda kemukakan memang membuatkan hati saya selaku warga india tersentuh. Terlebih dahulu, saya tidak dapat menerima ‘fakta’yang mengatakan bahawa ‘warga india sememangnya tidak berusaha bersungguh-sungguh’ dan ujaran anda kepada ‘raju dan dewi’ untuk bangkit dan mencari jalan lain selain ‘menjual besi buruk dan jaga keretapi’ sememangnya menunjukkan bahawa anda sememangnya seorang yang hipokrit dan .
Saudara qareem,
Untuk pengetahuan saudara, berapa bnyk jutawan Melayu yang bergelar Dato’, Tans Sri, YB dan sbgnya wujud di Malaysia? Namun, golongan Melayu yang susah yang kais pagi makan pagi, kais petang makan ptang masih tidak terhapus. Yang bersusah di bendang, yang bersusah di laut. Jadi, kalau nak katakan Ananda Krishnan sebagai contoh, contoh untuk orang Melayu wujud seribu. Namun, persoalannya, Mengapa Kemiskinan Masih Wujud di Kalangan Orang Melayu?
Ceritany mcm ni en. Qareem, yang dipersalahkan Bukan seharusnya Rakyat, Tetapi, sistem yang menjadikan rakyat sebegitu. En. Qareem ingat, sapa yang berusaha lebih dia dapat ganjaran? en. qareem hidup zaman mana? Kalau nak katakan dlm kalangan msykt Melayu, budaya kronism, nepotism dan mcn mcm ism lagi boleh dijadikan contoh. kalu setakat nak dapat kerja pun, kena ada contact, en. Qareem.
Dan, satu lagi En.Qareem, tiada sesiapa pun mempunyai hak untuk menilai individu dalam sesuatu masyarakat itu. Atas dasar apa En. Qareem ckap yang ‘ORANG INDIA TIDAK BERUSAHA BERSUNGGUH-SUNGGUH’? Dah berapa kajian yang en Qareem buat? Berapa ramai orag india yang En. qareem tahu? Pernah duduk bersama ke? Pernah hidup, makan minum sama-sama ke? Kalau tak, jangan pandai-pandai nak menuduh orang.
Kalau mcm tu, mcm mana dgn bab orang melayu hidup dengan bantuan kerajaan? Pensyarah USM sendiri pernah berkata, yang orang melayu ini suka disuap? Macam mana kalau saya jadikan ini sebagai asas hujah saya? Tentu terasa kan?
Maka, kesimpulannya, hidup ini biar beradab. hati masing-masing dijaga. Kata-kata yang dikeluarkn itu biarlah berpada en Qareem. Kalau setakat nak minta maaf lepas terlepas kata tu,nasi dah jadi bubur.
Memandangkan saya seorang aje yang menyambut thaipusam di dalam ruanagn ini, maka terima kasihlah atas ucapan selamat thaipusam, ye.
Sebagai wakil semua ‘raju’ dan ‘dewi’
Now, what the heck is so radical about a rally? A rally is not a monster. It could not eat up people. It certainly could not kill people. If, you know what a rally is. A rally means a peaceful gathering to voice out certain opinion on certain issues. Darn, if we are not that much affected by all the ‘keselamatan negara’ and ‘bukan tradisi kita’ crap, we won’t fear rallies this much. Why should a rally perceived in so much of negative perspectives? And, why shouldn’t a rally be mean of expression, i wonder? Why do we have to opt to thing like ‘mind-marching’ and all that if we simply Can express the way we can?
As graduates, try to break limitations with lame reasons (especially if it seem like shit) and definitely, we should be aware of certain parties trying to take advantage of our gullibility. But, be prepared also, to learn that the ones whom we trust and have so much faith on, could be the one who be using us. As you said sakinah (to me), there could be people watching us. But, think again. why should they? Do they have any right to do so? It is something to ponder, indeed. God Bless
oops…whoa whoa nmpknye semua org dah semakin beremosi. Saya pun dah terbawa dgn emosi sampai menyinggung perasaan org lain. Maaf ye. Benar. Masing2 ada perbezaan pendapat, hurm boleh jadi debat “the chip the bird the wire 2008″ nie hehehe. Yg pasti, saya hormati pandangan anda. Maaf jika terkasar bahasa. Ikhlas ni
Buat en qareem. jgn mudah stereotaip semata2, perlu ambil kira konteks lain yg mempengaruhinya (nmpknye anda perlu jumpa Pn. Wang sebelum membuat andaian sedemikian) Buat shamala, en. qareem juga perlu dilihat dari konteks sosial & latar blkg pendidikannya,mungkin kerana dia belum ambil ykt 111 kot. hehe Kejayaan tidak boleh diukur dgn ‘nombor’ aja en. qareem (sekadar merujuk ltr blkg sains anda). Melayu juga ada yg tidak berusaha apatah lagi bangsa2 lain (termasuk mat saleh, siap ade ‘elaun menganggur’ lagi)
Tentang petani & nelayan, saya rasa mereka itu ‘lebih kaya’ dari kita. Dari segi hati, mahupun akal, mereka bebas bekerja dan berehat pada masa yg mereka suka, mungkin kita selalu nmpk pakcik2 tua berehat minum kopi di warung tetapi hakikatnya itu masa rehat mereka kemudian mereka sambung kerja. Sudah bnyk petani yg berjaya, tapi ya masih ada yg tidak.
Golongan india, saya tak tahu sgt perkembangannya. Mungkin seseorang daripada anda boleh menceritakannya? Yg pasti,ramai juga india berjaya. Jika tidak, mana mungkin peguam hebat yg petah berbicara kebanyakannya india (lihat aja VK Lingam. “Looks like me, talks like me” lawak sungguh!)Lihat juga golongan mamak, sehingga ke UK, sampai bau karinya hoho. Lihat juga penulis di atas, saya tidak lihat dia sbg tidak berusaha?
Mcm mana pun, saya mengaku. Melayu terlalu bergantung pada ‘tongkat’ sampai lupa mcm mana nak ‘berdiri’. Pangkat dikejar2 sedangkan satu masa dulu, org terketar2 nak terima jawatan sampai sanggup menolak sbb takut memikul ‘tanggungjawab’. Yg pasti tidak semua Dato, Tan Sri tidak baik, Tan Sri Al Bukhary umpamanya juga pernah susah dahulu, Dr Mahathir ( wpun ada yg tidak suka) tapi setidaknya dia pandai dalam percaturannya.
Cukup sampai sini sahaja. Nanti meleret-leret pulak perdebatan kita.
Aduh. Baru habis comment td. Ada yg baru? This can get on and on. No. I will not reply on anymore of this. I have my own perceptions, you have yours. I respect that and hope you will too. What we talk between us,stays there. Else, this will turn into personal instead. If u have anything to say to me, u can let me know when we ‘lepak’ together ok.
‘Menzahirkan Apa Yang Tersirat’
Tajuk diatas sesuai untuk saya mulakan tulisan saya yg kontroversi sebelum ini. Terima kasih kepada Shamala Suresh Kee atas kritikan membina dan hujah sokongan yang anda berikan. Saya menerima dengan hati yang terbuka.
Saya mengakui terdapat kesalahan dalam penyampaian tulisan yang ingin saya sampaikan. Kini, ia menjadi isu hangat dalam ruangan ini. Saya faham jika Shamala tersentuh apabila membaca tulisan saya, kerana tulisan boleh dimaksudkan dari pelbagai aspek dan natijah. Lalu, saya ingin menegaskan saya tidak berniat untuk memperlekehkan kaum India. Niat saya hanya ingin memberi pendapat untuk membantu kaum India bergerak maju seiring kaum yang lain. Ianya berdasarkan satu kes, Perhimpunan HINDRAF yang memberi pandangan negatif terhadap kaum India.
Sebelum masuk topik utama, saya akan memberi latar kehidupan saya dahulu untuk semua pembaca menilaikan situasi saya..
Saya dilahirkan Melayu dalam masyarakat majoriti Cina. Kawasan Kulai dahulu dan ketika ini mempunyai 75% penduduk kaum Cina. Jiran tetangga saya adalah masyarakat Cina. Kaum Melayu di kawasan Kulai adalah minoriti bersama kaum India. Ketika saya tingkatan 1 hingga 3, saya dimasukkan dalam sebuah kelas tingkatan yang terdiri dari pelajar yang cemerlang di Kulai. Semua pelajar yang mendapat keputusan cemerlang di Kulai(35 org sahaja) akan dihimpunkan dalam kelas ini. Di dalam kelas tersebut, hanya ada 4 org pelajar Melayu sahaja(termasuk saya), 7 org pelajar India dan selebihnya 24 org pelajar adalah kaum Cina. RACIST!RACIST!RACIST! Kami minoriti didalam kelas sentiasa diperlekehkan oleh majoriti. Mungkin umur 13-15 adalah tidak matang, tetapi cukup memeritkan bila diperlakukan seperti sampah! Ganesan, Buveena dan B.Hindu adalah rakan India yang saya rapat. Termasuk Azri, Aiman dan Sahidah. (maaf jika anda tidak kenal, ianya hanya kenangan) Rakan Cina? saya tidak ingat semuanya kerana saya…. benci! Buveena adalah seorang India yang berbeza dari B.Hindu, Buveena datang dari keluarga yang kaya manakala B.Hindu datang dari keluarga yang berpendapatan rendah. Tetapi mereka boleh hidup semeja. Walaupun jurang kewangan memisahkan mereka tetapi saya kagum kerana B.Hindu yang dulunya hanya dihantar oleh bapanya menaiki basikal, kini telah berjaya melanjutkan pelajaran ke Monash University di Australia. Buveena juga melanjutkan pelajaran ke luar negara. Ramai melihat kes ini seperti yang ‘biasa’, tetapi saya melihat ianya sesuatu yang luar biasa kerana B.Hindu membuktikan kaum India boleh berjaya dengan BERUSAHA BERSUNGGUH_SUNGGUH.
Berbalik kepada racist, mengapa saya besarkan ayat itu kerana saya juga terluka diperlakukan seperti itu. Jangan sangka saya tidak tahu perasaan menjadi minority, saya pernah rasakan. Bukan setakat di kelas, kehidupan luar begitu juga. Pernahkah anda menghadapi situasi bila anda ingin bertanyakan soalan kerja rumah kepada seseorang yang kita lama kenal, dia memalingkan muka dan berkata “stupid malay!” kepada anda. Benda ini tidak terjadi saya sahaja, rakan bola saya Ganesan mengalami perkara yang sama cuma dengan ayat yg berbeza. Memperlekehkan tentang kasta, hingga menimbulkan perkelahian.
Jadi saudari Shamala, adakah ini cukup menjadi bukti bahawa saya pernah susah-senang bersama rakan India saya mengharungi hidup selama 3 tahun, menjadi ejekan dan umpatan para majoriti didalam kelas? Kalau ya, baguslah. Sebenarnya xperlu lah sampai “Pernah duduk bersama ke? Pernah hidup, makan minum sama-sama ke?” seperti yang Shamala dakwa kerana Shamala juga tidak mengenali kaum Melayu sepenuhnya bukan? Saya rasa cukuplah jika saya sendiri bertanya tentang masyarakat India kepada kawan saya Ganesan yang pernah mengeluh kepada saya..”kenapalah aku boleh masuk kelas macam ni, xder life lgsung, aku nk masuk kelas 3D lah karim(antara kelas lemah), bley sekelas dengan Morgan, hari2 periksa nombor satu” ujarnya. Kata-kata Ganesan tu cukup buat hati saya terkesima kerana hakikatnya kelas 3D memang majority India dan Melayu. Saya fikir kan bagus jika kelas saya sekarang seimbang. Itupun jika semua pelajar kaum melayu dan india berusaha belajar rajin2. Tp kalau dah hari2 main jer, ponteng kelas, isap rokok sampai lentok, kerja rumah xpernah buat. Mcammna? Takkan nk harap kami bertiga Melayu ni??? nk harap 7 India ni?? yg len? main, main, malas, malas, malas… Kaum Cina? terus kedepan seperti hujah saya sebelum ni..
Disini, saya ingin memberi penjelasan dan sebab mengapa saya menulis sebegitu, disamping as a defend to me daripada sanggahan Cik Shamala. Harap terhibur…
1. Kenyataan “warga india sememangnya tidak berusaha bersungguh-sungguh” sebenarnya wajar saya tulis “ramai warga india sememangnya tidak berusaha bersungguh-sungguh” kerana ada perangkaan 30% warga india yang berusaha bersungguh-sungguh mencari kejayaan. Kaum melayu pun begitu juga “ramai yang malas dan mengharap suapan kerajaan” (seperti shamala dakwa, tu betullah, saya akui) tapi kini bilangan melayu yang rajin juga bertamabah. Cth: sharifah, saya, rasfan dan ramai lagilah. kalau xrajin, xdapatlah masuk U. Shamala pun rajin, sebab tu masuk U..
2.”Atas dasar apa En. Qareem ckap yang ‘ORANG INDIA TIDAK BERUSAHA BERSUNGGUH-SUNGGUH’?”–
tentang pernyataan diatas, saya menulis berdasarkan pengalaman saya. Saya fikir, saya baca dan kaji melalui banyak bahan bacaan, saya bertanya kepada rakan India saya lalu saya rumuskan. Cuma
sepatutnya ditulis “RAMAI ORG INDIA TIDAK BERUSAHA BERSUNGGUH-SUNGGUH TETAPI ADA JUGA YANG RAJIN BERUSAHA MENCARI KEJAYAAN”
3.”En. Qareem ingat, sapa yang berusaha lebih dia dapat ganjaran? en. qareem hidup zaman mana? Kalau nak katakan dlm kalangan msykt Melayu, budaya kronism, nepotism dan mcn mcm ism lagi boleh dijadikan contoh” Hahaha! Geli mendengar ayat nih.. Cik Shamala, kenyataan ‘Siapa yang berusaha lebih, dia dapat ganjaran’ tu.. xbetol ker? Kamu buat kerja projek, kamu buat bersungguh dan lebih kerja untuk kualiti. Lecturer kamu xpernah bagi markah yang lebih ka? Adakah lecturer kamu akan bagi markah yang tinggi untuk org yang berusaha ala-kadar dan kerja xberkualiti? Konteks ayat ‘Siapa yang berusaha lebih, dia dapat ganjaran’ adalah asas kehidupan semua manusia. Tanyalah semua org, benar atau tidak pernyataan ini. Jika Shamala sudah awal2 tidak percaya dengan kata2 ini, bermakna hujah Cik Shamala sebelum ni adalh ‘double-standard’. Kronism, Nepotism bukan termasuk dalam asas kehidupan. Itu adalah perosak kehidupan. Diakui ada segelintir org Melayu, org cina dan org india melakukan kronism,nepotism. Tapi, fikirkan sejenak.. Nak lakukan kejahatan pun bukan mudah. Kena ada usaha.. Cth: Nak merompak, kena keluar modal beli pistol, kena ada keberanian nk menakutkan mangsa, kena ada strategi dr ditgkap polis. Tapi, perlukah kita usaha lebih untuk melakukan kejahatan? Kita kena memandang asas kehidupan dari pandangan positif. Cik Shamala pandang dari natijah negatif..
4.”Namun, golongan Melayu yang susah yang kais pagi makan pagi, kais petang makan ptang masih tidak terhapus. Yang bersusah di bendang, yang bersusah di laut. Jadi, kalau nak katakan Ananda Krishnan sebagai contoh, contoh untuk orang Melayu wujud seribu. Namun, persoalannya, Mengapa Kemiskinan Masih Wujud di Kalangan Orang Melayu?”— Wujud kemiskinan memang ada, tapi kerajaan bertindak cemerlang mereducekan kemiskinan dari 30% kepada 3.4%!!!! Shamala kena semak banci yer. Jangan hipokrit menidakkan fakta. Fakta adalah realiti. Kendatipun, semua kaum ada golongan susah dan miskin. Tetapi, kaum India yang pergi berdemontrasi HINDRAF telah merosakkan seluruh nama kaum India. Mereka berdemontrasi kerana nak hak mereka yang hidup susah selama 50 tahun. Saya tulis ni bukan sebab nk down semua kaum India. Tapi, nk memberi pendapat sebab kenapa mereka (sebilangAn kaum India) terlibat demontrasi HINDRAF. Jadi jawapan saya ialah kerana mereka hanya tahu menuding kerajaan tetapi tidak memikirkan kelemahan sendiri iaitu “SELAMA 50 TAHUN, MEREKA TERUS HIDUP DENGAN KELEKAAN TANPA INGIN RASA UNTUK MENGUBAH NASIB MEREKA SENDIRI DENGAN BERUSAHA BERSUNGGUH-SUNGGUH ESPECIALLY DALAM ASPEK PENDIDIKAN BAGI MENDAPAT KEMAJUAN”
semoga apa yang saya tulis ni bukan sahaja menjadi pengajaran kepada kaum india sahaja. tetapi, kepada kaum lain especially MELAYU!

nak menyibuk gak nih..
sekadar curahan rasa hati..
pada pendapat saya dapat kita lihat sendiri walaupun sesetengah individu cuba untuk menafikan bahawa dia seorang yang tidak RACIST.tetapi hakikatnya akan ada juga perkara2 yang berlaku akan menjadikan kita seorang yg RACIST.sebagai contoh.dalam USM sendiri racism ini diamalkan.semasa pilihanraya untuk MPP.semasa beratur untuk menaiki bas pon terdapat sedikit diskriminasi berlaku.tu tak masuk yang lain2seperti beli makanan.pensyarah berlainan bangsa yang mengajar dalam kelas dan lain2 lagi yang boleh anda fikirkan yang banyak terdapat dalam USM.isu ini terlalu subjektif untuk diperkatakan.
The media, not to mention, is only interested in maximizing its profit rather than educating us. And like most of us know, the media conglomerate that is conquering almost 90% of the free-to-air channel in Malaysia is none other than Media Prima, a conglomerate that is somehow linked to the ruling party. We might not notice this but, don’t you guys think that all of those interesting, newly-imported TV series from the US is somehow a diversion. It distracts us from seeing the real issue contaminating our society today. We are so busy being a couch-potato. That’s exactly what they wanted us to be. They don’t want us to think. They don’t want us to use our brain to its
saya amat bersetuju dengan kenyataan di atas.pengkolomeratan oleh pihak tertentu hanya untuk mengalih atau mengherotkan pandangan kita terhadap benda yang lebih serius yang berkaitan dengan politik.selain menambahkan keuntungan mereka juga berjaya membudayakan kita untuk menjadi penuntut yang hanya bangun pagi, pergi kuliah, siapkan assigment dan baca buku ( tu pun kalau bacalah)dan tonton tv sampai punggung melekat kat sofa.nampaknya usaha “golongan” ini berjaya dengan cemerlangnya kerana majoriti daripada remaja amnya dan kita, penuntut khususnya teramat taksub dengan “kotak magic” tersebut.
namun begitu, untuk segelintir penuntut yang sudah lama sedar atau baru tersedar(macam saya), satu soalan timbul untuk saya bertanya. terdapatkah usaha untuk mengekang perkara ini daripada berlaku.bagaimana untuk menyedarkan mereka yang lain supaya sedar bahawa “golongan” tersebut telah menguasai kita.kalau ada pun yang sudah bangun daripada mimpi indah ini, bagaimanakah pula tempat untuk menyuarakan rasa tidak puas hati masing2.
kita sebagai warga muda harus mempunyai idealisme tersendiri (kalau ada la..). sebagai contoh, kitalah yang perlu mengetahui bagaimanakah negara yang kita idamkan pada masa depan.struktur masyarakat yang harmoni dan tidak mengungkit-ungkit tentang RACISMe ini.karenah birokrasi yang menyakitkan hati dan otak semua.masalah2 yang tidak pernah selesai dan datangnya bermusim seperti “golongan” sekarang hamburkan kepada rakyatnya.sampai bila perkara ini akan berterusan.10 tahun? 20? 30? ataupun akan kekal semasa sambutan kemerdekaan MALAYSIA yang ke 100thn?
setakat ini sahaja yang dapat katakan.minta maaf kalau nampak macam bodoh ja.=).
tq..
