Malaysia’s 50th year of Independence is rearing it’s ugly head in. During this time, we’ll find all forms of political activities. The government does all form of shit to instill patriotism (something that can’t be ‘instilled’ if you ask me) from the school to the working sector. The opposition tries to do some more cock to fish some votes. However, all in all, there’s only one constant during election days and the independence day;<\/p>\n
1) Racial tension is at it’s highest<\/p>\n
2) Politicians hit the TV more often making outrageously stupid statements, sometimes controversial ones to fish votes.<\/p>\n
3) People pretend to be more patriotic, hell, some even feeling holier-than-thou and feel the necessity to spread their gayness unto you. That squishy, pinky feeling of what they call patriotism, may it be to either vote, or to hoist a flag at your homes and workplaces. (Including your guest houses which you use to have mongolian hotties servicing you on the weekends.)<\/p>\n
However, lets face it, forcing someone to hoist the flag, is not patriotism. No, forcing someone to Sing Negaraku isn’t either. I know this has been said billions of times, but if you want patriotism, look at America. Beyond her flaws, look at the citizens. See how they celebrate their 4th of july, see how they proudly sing their national anthem, etc. As a matter of fact, it is not an obligation for them to sing their national anthem, but they do it regardless, because they are proud of their nation.<\/p>\n
Take a moment and think about the situation here… I know, comparing the U.S.A. to Malaysia is like comparing Apples and Oranges, but what’s the fundamental difference? Look beyond racial issues, look beyond religious philosophies, see what you find.. it’s simple; Mentality.<\/p>\n
Here in Malaysia, the ministers were once considering playing the National Anthem before movies at the cinema, ‘to promote’ patriotism. WTF? No Really, WTF? There’s ample ways to tackle this problem, and this is not one of it. Malaysians are not stupid, but the ministers are, where else in the world can the topic of women’s menstrual cycle be of utmost importance? Where else can polygamy be justified by saying ‘God made man to share his love’, no seriously this happens in Malaysia, in the parliament NO LESS!<\/p>\n
Here’s a challenge to all you fruitcakes (read : RSMU bloggers, or whoever the hell else.), as we all clearly know, not many are able to fluently speak Bahasa Malaysia (Fuck those who call it Bahasa Melayu, because you idiots fail to realize the only ORIGINAL word from Bahasa Melayu would be “Aku”, and everything else is borrowed! Nothing wrong with that, it’s common in languages, but the entire word-base? SCAD). Anyhow, back to my point, not many of us overseas utilize B.M. beyond the Malay population, English is usually the lingua franca, so for once, lets at least, in respect to our independence day, try to post one blog entry in Bahasa Malaysia, preferably before or on the 31st of August.<\/p>\n
No spell checkers, no grammar correction, BM as you know it and nothing but. Come on, give it a try. Just to name a few, I personally challenge the following to try; it’s just one entry damnit:<\/p>\n
1) Dr|ftking<\/p>\n
2) Kyntia<\/p>\n
3) Kristof Lim<\/p>\n
4) She-who-pretends-to-be-a-baby…<\/p>\n
Naturally, needless to say, this applies to me too. And there must be some ground rules, which are the following :<\/p>\n
No short forms, No internet-speak (xde, xble, x tau, etc), No English referrence (I tak tahu la why dia buat cam tu). In short, you write as you would, for a penulisan exam in your SPM.<\/p>\n
Patriotic,<\/p>\n
