true colors...

People say every newly born child they are like white pieces of cloth. You have to give them colors and blend the colors to create a beautiful result of artwork.

But what happens when you decide to make a change and turn your country's flag with new colors and design just because you hate the current design just because you think it totally looks like other politician party's flag? Does that make a sense to you?

I say NO. Yes, a BIG NO.

When it comes to politic, it's never a clean matter. It will start with a joke and ends up with loads of disgusting interpretations, regardless of what party you are/support. MP Manoharan may thinks that he has great plan for Malaysia's future. But I say he has other miss-leading ideas towards the nation. Frankly speaking, who is Mr. Manoharan? Before, I don't know who he is until I read it on a few online news that this-so-called MP was disgusted with Malaysia's flag (you may 'google' about this and will find it hot on the net). He intended to change it if their-so-called coalition wins in next GE. So when he said that, does that mean he wants to change to constitution too? I personally think that he should think what he want to say before he voices out his opinions or ideas. He just brings disgrace to his party and yes, to all other Malaysians.

The current government may have loads of flaws, but it's still minimal compared to the damages that were done by the PR coalition in few states they have conquered. However, I must say that the current government has now realizes their mistakes, stained by their own members and MPs. I didn't say all of them give shames to BN (and UMNO as well), but who else to blame when people starts to switch sides. Even worse, to 'like' what-ever-nonsense-statement by e.g. MP Manoharan and MP Mohamad Sabu.

I can't deny all these statements are results from what we call today as a cheap publicity. Why? Because they attract attentions of others very fast, which in less than 24 hours, they will gain 50k likes on their Facebook Fanpage, from an unknown to a well-known populist. Funny? Well, that's a reality. And within 1 hour, it will be a headline to all online news, with every reasons, speculations and motives. It will likely read by thousands of youngsters who are the biggest population on the net. So to speak, youngsters in the new era are of course open-minded, outspoken, and brave. But let no forget a few facts, they are also naïve, immature, emotional, and easily influenced (I may speak about myself by saying this!). Remember that I shared with you about white piece of cloth earlier? What I'm trying to say is that, a simple statement like what he did gave such a big impact to the youngsters too, as he was to say, "We can change anything we don't like even if it's super nonsense because we have our-so-called-rights". If you have lots of time enough, make you little research and please open any political pages through you Facebook's account and you will realize how many of them are 17-25 years old young adults. Some are very nice but some are very very very rude, with this and that kind of swearing, bad words and such.

So maybe this is a new era of a new Malaysian's flag will lead to?

Well, I just want to wish him luck, because I know, just because there a few 'likes' on his statement at his Facebook page, doesn't mean Malaysians and youngsters as well will be easily influenced with this.

i sue you, come and sue me too!

Saman.

Semua orang sekarang ni suka menyaman. Siap sikit saman, silap banyak, lagilah banyak orang nak saman. Dulu ingat artis saja yanag suka saman2 ni, maklumla mereka semua adalah 'public figure' yang kena jaga periuk nasi masing2. Yalah, kalau tidak, tiada sesiapa nak offer job pula nanti.

Tapi lain halnya dengan politician di Malaysia. Semua orang dah saman-menyaman ni. Tapi peliknya, adakah tindakan polis diambil? Aku tngok juga kalau2 Mat Sabu, Utusan, Ambiga dan sewaktu dengannya diambil tindakan oleh Kementerian Dalam Negeri (KDN) ataupun disoal siasat oleh polis. Sebelum dan selepas BERSIH 2.0 rally, banyak juga laporan polis dibuat mencecah ribu2. Tapi tiada tindakan susulan juga. So, sebenarnya apa tujuan kita menyaman orang ni? Adakah hanya nak kejar glamour atau pun nak menunjukkan betapa kita ini adalah superior?

Adakah kita semua kena tunggu kes yang lebih berat seperti kes JAIS melakukan pemeriksaan untuk memastikan adakah Church center itu sedang menjalankan proses meraikan mereka yang telah selamat dimurtadkan? Itu belum pasti sebab mereka mendakwa hanya mendapat bantuan sara hidup. Masih belum tahu bilakah laporan tersebut akan siap. Macam takkan siap sahaja sebab ada banyak pihak seperti melengah2kan untuk menerangkan kepada umum.

Terkini, Mat Sabu pun menyaman Utusan, manakala ada ratusan lagi laporan polis dibuat terhadap Mat Sabu. Tak takut pulak dia dengan laporan polis. Pelik, sungguh pelik. Setaip hari dan setiap kali membaca Malaysiakini atau The Malaysian Insider, perasaan aku seperti membuak2 hendak marah sebab ayat mereka tulis memang berunsur provokasi terhadap kerajaan, atau lebih tepat, 'nyenyeh' kepada kerajaan. Tapi hairan, mereka masih lagi menuntut kebebasan media walaupun kini mereka senang sahaja menyebar fitnah dan membuat laporan yang salah. Memang benar, hak sesiapa sahaja untuk membaca, berfikir dan membuat penilaian. Cuma, penilaian saya tidak akan berpihak kepada mereka.

Ada sesiapa nak saman I?

terasa...

Terasa. Aku tahu ia mungkin kecil bagi orang yang mendengarnya, tapi ia adalah besar apabila pejuang kemerdekaan yang kita agungkan telah diperlekeh oleh orang kita sendiri.

Banyak perkara yang telah berlaku di Malaysia and banyak betul isu-isu sensitif dimainkan/dipaparkan di dada2 akhbar, regardless of which sides. Terbaru, isu pasal MP Mat Sabu yang begitu mengagung2kan Mat Indera iaitu pejuang kemerdekaan bersayap kiri. Aku tak tahu sama ada kita semua telah ditipu atau Mat Sabu sebenarnya buta sejarah Tanah Melayu/Malaysia. Telah banyak laman web pro dan juga anti kerajaan berdebat, tak kira sama ada bersetuju atau dengan lantang melabelkan Mat Sabu sebagai seorang tali barut Komunis. Cari sahaja mengenai beliau di carian laman web, dan bacalah apa sahaja yang ditulis mereka. Namun, adalah lebih baik anda membaca dari kedua2 pihak sebelum membuat keputusan untuk melabel sesiapa komunis, penipu atau pemutar belit sejarah. UMNO dan PAS sebenarnya memainkan peranan yang penting dalam menyatukan undi atau memecah undi kaum Melayu. PKR saya pasti telah lama ditolak oleh kebanyakan orang Melayu kerana tidak mahu setia kepada pemimpin yang mempunyai masalah moral. Walaupun masih belum pasti tentang kebenarannya, semua orang bagaikan sudah pasti akan hakikat yang akan terbongkar lambat laun. DAP pula semestinya sampai bila2 tidaka akan mendapat sokongan aku. Aku tak pasti tentang orang lain.

Sejarah tidak mungkin berubah dan boleh diubah, tetapi kita boleh mencipta sejarah.
