This year apa pasal tak rasa merdeka pun? What is going on??
Pagi-pagi I got an email saying well-written.Aku dah agak..mesti ada issue race.Kawan-kawan Cina aku ramai macam ni (yang betul-betul luhur pun ramai). Yang segelintir ni suka sangat hantar emails yang berbau perkauman.Aku benci! Dah berapa puluh tahun merdeka, still harping on kami rakyat kelas kedua? rakyat anak tiri? orang melayu ada hak istimewa.Kalau tak bulan ramadan..dah lama nak kena hamput ni!
Macamana pun I voiced my 'resistance'.Pi check kat Penang tu..PKR rule kaa DAP rule.My friend (we are still friends..hahaha) kata check dulu la kau punya fakta..open tender ada pun, Melayu juga dapat projek.He said pi talk to the people.Masalahnya I spoke to orang-orang miskin Penanglah aku berani cakap mcm tu! (unless taxi drivers tu orang2 UMNO??) I habag kat my fren, nak tanya Melayu mana? Semua dah tak mampu nak duduk kat island..habeh lari ke mainland.
Tak habis dok kalut with this email, tiba lagi satu kawan bagi email on merdeka (tajuk well-written).Dok cerita pasal Cina-Melayu lagi..haiya..this is not how I want to spend the rest of my life as a Malaysian (dok cerita ungkit melayu dapat ni..Cina terpinggir) Come on! anak aku pun tak dapat government scholarship OK? Kita pun duduk rumah teres lagi OK? Privilege apa, cuba habag maii!
I told my friends (supposedly to be educated people) tukarlah skrip..jangan dok main the same song.Aku bosan! Tukarlah skrip kepada yang ini (dan ajar anak-anak dan cucu-cucu sekali):
We do not care how others make us feel.We are Malaysians.Let's build this country together and assist each other..work with the rich to help the poor.
See? Takda ill-feelings against any group based on race, class, religion.Take the venoms out.Be happy!
Happy merdeka day, anyway.You may not like your politicians but they don't own this country.It is ours to keep and take care of.

Thank you very much for the well-said entry.
Saya sangatlah bersetuju.
Balik-balik guna skrip yang sama.Penat!
Salam Kemerdekaan! Hari ini sambut merdeka - hantar papadom pi surau apartmen seksyen 6 (Jalan Cecawi) dekat rumah you tu.
Mai lah join berbuka. Hari ini makwe turn memasak di surau itu. Best, bergotong royong.Teringat zaman kecik-kecik dulu.
Dr Bubbles: Tulah..who speaks for the Malays now? Harapkan Marina Mahathir, dia kata"Ask any Malay who can trace their ancestry beyond 3rd generation"...laa..dia mungkin tak boleh (org kata dia keturunan India, dia marah)..but org2 mcm kita boleh lagi trace sampai lebih tujuh keturunan tujuh petala langit tujuh lapih bumi..I bila marah, I menurun...hahaha.
Anyway, thks for the invite.Kami berbuka with my mother in law.Sejak ada golfren ni, kerap benor ke Cecawi. :))
I spent the whole semester last year in my Cultural Studies class listening to my classmates, Chinese and Indians, talking about being the second-class citizen. I had to be empathic so I listened. In the end, They all agreed on one thing, that they're not blaming us their Malay friends, but the Malay government. But that didn't make me feel better, I still feel they will always hold their grudges against us, but to keep things harmonious between us they often concluded their argument by blaming the govt. it's not that i can't accept that reason, but sometimes this is what happens when u simply express your dissatisfaction, u create animosity, ill-feelings and prejudice among yourselves.
