Bangsa sendiri than Bangsa Malaysia

I can go on and on about Bangsa Malaysia but what attracted me was the lecture given by Tun Dr. Mahathir. Impressive !

Bangsa Malaysia. I think first we have to understand the meaning of the word Bangsa Malaysia. Bangsa Malaysia may have many interpretations and i define is as, I race where there is no discrimination between inner ethnicity, gender age and etc. Being as one for fight for what is believed to be good and profitable to many people. Have concern and care for the unfortunate with out seeing difference. Have a proper political system and no barrier between the ruling class. I think that is a part of what I think is Bangsa Malaysia.

I think that Malaysia is not really to have a Bangsa Malaysia. There are problems that has to be faced first before this new rage of Bangsa in being introduced. we have to ask ourselves why. Look around! What do we see?

This is what I saw: A Chinese boy was having tea with Malay.I will call them A and B. They looked like friends.A and B were have a normal conversation and joking to each other. Both of them don't hate each other. They don't feel hatred towards the opposite race. That's good. Then after sometime both of them went back. While on the way back he met with a racist Malay and that gave hatred in him saying that " Malays are racist" So I will be racist. This effected A and B's friendship.... The moral of the story is, no matter how happily a person is with another race but there will be discrimination among other races.

Let me prove something. There are a large group of Malays who will not be satisfied is any benefit is given to other races. Simple, UITM case. Having a mix student population is good but looks like the Malays see education as religion. UITM is for us not for others. So we are nowhere to Bangsa Malaysia.

The Chinese, Haha. Quite a number of Chinese will only go on to fight or support something only if it has to do with Chinese. You name it, Chinese schools, poverty, culture, language and etc.If there is no effects to the Chinese community, sorry to say there will be no support from the Chinese. They are united but among themselves. I have seen cases where a particular community held a protest against the ruling government.This incident happened late September 2007 They protested not to close a Gas station in Kepong. The station belonged to a Chinese man. It was a "Caltex" Gas station beside it was Petronas Gas station. Dunno what is wrong with the gas station, the government ordered it to be closed.

Personally I think the reason for the government wanted to close the gas Station was because there was a Chinese school just beside the premise. Just beside it. Maybe government takut, nanti Station blow the School students also blow. I don't really know. But during the protest, there were parents who brought their children to protest together as if like there is no other Gas station or maybe their kids are in need of gasoline. The scene was so funny. Oh yea, those kids i told, they were from the school beside the Gas station. With uniforms they were brought to the protest. Was a sunny day and kids who are suppose to be studying and leaning were out on the roads with parents in the name of supporting. United to the extreme. I think that what they did was wrong! Protest for a wrong purpose and using the wrong idea.

Land problems are between the person and the government/land office. There is no need to have a protest. Is this what we call as Bangsa Malaysia?

Indians. Please lah. Let me keep it simple. Indians will give a helping only if there is any reward. Not all there are a number of them and Indians are very good in influencing other Indians do do something if they have reward. Sorry. Im an Indian and I have seen a lot of this "bs" so don't come and bull with me.

In short we cant be going to Bangsa Malaysia if we are only back up our own race. Race based party should be abolish first of all. I think for now we can do that. They are not serving the purpose but they are just there flashing their flags and banners. Abolishalone will not do. There has to be parties where it is multiracial or else die,,, Some are out there just to find fault and to create chaos. They are able to input wrong information into our brains. " This party is 1 race based. They will not fight for our rights. " Bla bla bla. I think that race is not a factor to have leaders . Why? If a country is being run by all Chinese, I don't think there will be a problem as long as they are able to relate and understand the peoples needs and not being favourable to on particular race.

We are progressing but to reach Bangsa Malaysia, still far way to go. What we can do is speed things up. Speeding in a civilized and manned way. We don't want to be called baboons or monkey as they breed in the Malaysian Parliament.

We need mentality change

I bet a lot of Malaysian felt happy when Barack Obama won the presidential election. There was cheering and happiness because people realise that he was a good leader. Our Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi also said that he is happy for US citizen's. There was a statement where our PM said that anyone can be a Prime Minister, those who feel that they care for the people and nation can be a leader. There are many ways to intemperate this message.

I intemperate it as, the race and gender is not an issue in this case. Barack Obama was once a Muslim but he can be a president of the United States, so in Malaysia I don't see that a leader should be a particular race, religion or gender. Why cant we have a young Prime Minister, every time I see surely the candidates will be "freaking" old. Or maybe how about a female? let the women have a part of building the country too. Don't tell me Muslim is the religion that a leader should have because its the most supreme religion. Please lah, a person having religion means that its a relationship between the person and god. OK. If we were to see from the base of all religion teaches the same teaching, manners, respect, truth and all.

I don't think we all are united at all. So stop the crap. Change first and don't act like you have changed. Simple example, just because a Chinese is to lead PKMS, there was so much of complaint and dissatisfaction. What is so wrong if a Chinese is to lead PKMS. If they are able to fulfil all the job requirements. Please see the capability of a person in doing things not the race and all.

What do people understand about the word "Friends"

(Difference between friends and INDIAN friends)

INDIAN FRIENDS: Call your parent's mom
and dad.

INDIAN FRIENDS: Cry with you.

laughing and just being together

Copied from Friendster.com. What you you all think when you see this message? Anything runs in your mind? Is there anything wrong with this message or is it just a normal chain message.

My explanation for the extract above.

I saw this forwarded message in my Friendster message inbox and found that this is quite disturbing. Basically I think it has a sense of racist. I am totally gonna counter this . I do not see that only Indians are good friends. To be frank I came form a hardcore Indian place and most of the Indians there are racist and sad to say I am embarrassed to say that I come from there. I have seen situations where in a wedding or any sort of celebration a group of older men or women get together,the topic of discussion would be on other races. The following months and perhaps years, I hated to attend any sort of functions due to their behavior and mindset.

There were even situations where they gossiped about others from so called same "race". Is this what we call "Indian Friends are concerned about", that as mentioned above. I dont think so. The fact is that the most crimes and gangsterism happening in Malaysia are done by Indians. WoW! I cant believe that people can create this kind of messages and other had forwarded it to their friends list and even to those who are not even Indians. This is a FACT not just some crap I telling. Let me make it clear. There is only ONE race in this world and it is the HUMAN race. Live with that fact, will make your life easier.

When you want to talk about me, let me tell I have met very less Indian friends within this 21 year. Dont come and tell me that this might just be a luck. I do have good friends who are not Indians and the are much better that what is said in above. And guess what, they are mostly Malay's and Chinese. They were nothing like what I have heard since I was small. During my younger days, I have been scolded by relations and even beaten up by schoolmates for having other than Indian friends .

I'm not saying there are not good Indians out there but its the message that we are sending out. I do agree there are some of them who are too protective about their believe,culture and religion. But that's just a minority case. This is us the nature of humans, we will try to find fault and not see the bigger picture about someone or something. There are implications of sending this kind of messages.

As i have mentioned ealier, what if a non-Indian were to read this? What will he or she would feel about themselves? Seeing the picture now I can tell that the reason that this nation is not together is because we are the ones who are having attitudes. There is no point for us to be unhappy about the political system, educational system, Bumiputra special rights and e.t.c because we are the same. Why do we complain when we are the one who have to change first?

To me this is a sort of race discrimination which i am not happy. The person who created this should be ashamed for bringing up this and should be held responsible upon creating a wide barrier between all of us. We are now in the zone of trying to be as one without seeing ethnicity or gender and some irresponsible people can afford to create something like this. I am NOT an Indian but a MALAYSIAN.

The funny thing is how many of us believe that we are Malaysians, the moment a person comes up and say something racist, for example "Hoi hindu keling", we tend to do back the same and sometimes worst. But I think it would help if we were to just talk to that person and ask why they say so and prove we are not as what they think or maybe have heard? If I am not mistaken, according to any religion, a person is taught to respect a women as equal as men and also other races and not to discriminate.

So please change your perceptions .I have no right to make u you mind but please do spend some time to think of what have we done for the past 50 years, at least you can think for yourselves and for your future generation. Why do we argue about the government and other when we ourselves are not in the right spot?

We are together for a certain period only. I say this because we are seen as one when we all agree on a point like during elections we were together and then all were like thats it. During Makkal Sakti rally there wereonly indians no other races were allowed to join except indians. Why? Did the other ethnic group say we will notsupport you ? Later we are seen at fuel protest and others as one naton but then thats it. Not more than that. Its like we need each other only when we are desperate. Is it possible for us to change but are we willing to ?
