I no understand
We Malaysians are really on par with the developed countries.
We produce thousands of university graduates every year and our academics keep winning “gold medals” in competitions in trade fairs where the entrance fees, more or less, guarantee you a bronze prize.
When this issue as raised in parliament four years ago the then Higher Education minister said he was no longer allow these sort of things to happen again. Well guess what — this year alone the newspapers reported at least six public universities taking part in these sorts of shenanigans again. Ahhhhh, our collective memory is short....
I see that the newspapers are printing warnings about the second wave of H1N1 about to hit Malaysia.
But guess what, the same ministry warning us, is organising a lot of events for the Health Minister where all sorts of people get together, all less than one metre from each other.
Thousands of rallies and events are planned for 1 Malaysia stunts.
See what I mean — you tell people to be careful and try to avoid crowds but you organise as many events as possible to infect as many people as possible...
Improve public transport so that more people will use the buses and trains.
Really?
You have two national car companies- do you really want them to suffer? After all, they are making it as cheap as possible to own a car. Can you really promote public transport and allow the national car to suffer?
What about the mantra on “Knowledge Society”?
Yet there are so many laws restricting what you can and cannot say, publish, write, broadcast, etc. You threaten bloggers and try to shut down internet sites. It really must be “Knowledge-I-approve-Society”. Ahhhhhh, the mother of all logic.... 1 Malaysia.
Yes we are building a happy harmonious society, to borrow a term from communist China, called Malaysia.
Yet everyday, we are reminded of our ethnicity and religion. On our Mykad your race and religion are recorded on the chip, and for 60 per cent of the population your religion is printed just under your photo.
When you fill in any form, you are asked to reconfirm your race and religion. When you join a political party, they are mobilised along ethnic lines. When you read newspapers, they are full of racist columns and worse, some newspapers actually promote racial supremacy.
When you join the public service or are given a JPA scholarship, you must attend Biro Tatanegara (BTN) which reinforced your racist indoctrination you received in government schools. You watch RTM 1 and RTM2 and you think “what can I do to defend to my race and religion today?”
Then you have politicians who constantly harped on the issue of “representing my race and religion”.
And don’t forget the “cow head” incident — and the coincidence of temples and churches only found in factory areas and industrial parks. Any politician who tries to promote a race-blind polity is actually called a racist!
You have BTN which promotes racism and at the same time you have a department of national unity.... get the logic? One cancels the other, therefore no change!
Maybe the problem is with me.
I really don’t understand the logic of living in Malaysia. The way to live in Malaysia is to accept that to live happily, you have to a hypocrite, a racist and a religious bigot. After all, since the entire system is based on hypocrisy, race and religion, you are living in paradise if you are a racist and bigot.
Has anyone told the Klu Klax Klan (KKK) about the Malaysia, My Second Home Programme?
