Buat tak kena, Tak buat terkena

Cuba teka apa dia? From one extreme to the other, I have become a constant pemerhati politik here in the UK. Sangat risau akan keselamatan both my beloved parents in Ipoh. If Sultan does not declare an MB for 30 days, allegedly the army and police will take over the state. Ah, I’m so relief that alas some announcements were made today. (But, apparently, the drama still continues).

I grew up in KL with Chinese and Indian friends alike. They were rich, lavish and they shared their wealth among their friends. My surrounding neighbours were also Chinese. We lived happily in my childhood years in KL. My point is when MCA & Gerakan was voted by the Chinese (at least when they were on top of their career ladder) Chinese lives in harmony with the Malay. They did not question our privileges of being Malay and why Malaysia is previously known as Semenanjung Tanah Melayu. The frictions between races were not felt at all. As long as they have business and duit masuk, I don’t think they could care less who is the Minister of Information.

A couple of years later I was accepted into a boarding school. I depart from my multi-racial friends and became a Malay Muslim devotee. I got scholarship to pursue my studies. So, I should be thankful to BN who secured the DEB through DPN. At least they secured SBP, MARA, MRSM, and Universities and again my point BN does not question Malay’s privileges.

I don’t understand why they are Malay elites voting out the Malay privileges? Marahkan nyamuk, habis kelambu dibakar. I would think that majority of them are being sponsored by the government. Yang dapat PTPTipu tuh, fat chance lah, there are still scholarship, korang yang tak berapa nak perform.

DAP on the other hand is announcing something that PAP is doing in 1969, Malaysians Malaysia. This formula is successful in Singapore. So, why do Malay Elites still agree with them does not make sense at all to me. Just change – will eventually make Malaysia become another Singapore.

Thanks to the PAS members who struggle to make the country an Islamic country, a decent request. Maybe they realized they cannot achieve their goals, now that they understand they live in a multi-racial country. Maybe, they also think by joining forces with somebody with an extreme ideology differences, things will get better. Azan akan berkemundang di mana2, masjid tidak akan dirobohkan seperti di Negara Singapura. Nasib Melayu Islam akan terjaga. So, we shall see.

Perjuangan, pengorbanan dan hala tuju UMNO looks decent as well. Sejarah telah membuktikan, bahawa UMNO telah banyak berjasa kepada rakyat. Tapi, did the wakil rakyat nowadays walk the talk? Tidak dinafikan masih ada wakil rakyat yang memperjuangkan penduduk kampungnya. Masih ada ahli parlimen yang mempertahankan perlembagaan negara. Tapi, ada segelintir yang corrupt dan tak boleh pakai. Kerana nila bertitik2 menitis, rosaklah susu sebelanga. Yang segelintir nil ah yang telah salah guna UMNO untuk memperjuangkan dirinya, keluarganya, kroninya, daripada memperjuangkan nasib anak bangsanya, penduduk kampungnya dan pengikutnya.

MCA, MIC & Gerakan tidak dilupakan. Nampaknya, wakil2 rakyat dan ahli parlimen lebih menjaga hati orang atas daripada menjaga hati pengundi yang mengundi mereka. It was sooo inappropriate for a minister to answer, kalau tak mampu bayar duit minyak, duit tol, naiklah motor, jangan naik kereta? Ada ke logic. Nak suruh aku mengandung dengan ada anak kecik nie naik motor in the rain. I believe a politician is somebody who sells himself to the public. Nobody in their right mind will cast their vote to somebody who talks ridiculously like that.

I have an opportunity to sembang with my English professor. He demonstrates a true global, European mind set. He asked why I looked so sad and gloomy. I answered that I’m worried with the Election result. “The opposition won.” “So what,” he asked? “The opposition is trying to get rid of Malay’s privileges in Malaysia,” I answered.

With a sigh, I further re-iterate “Before you left, and gave us independence, you left us with some compensation in our constituency. You divide and ruled, maybe you felt that it was inappropriate for you to take over Peninsula State of Malaya from our Sultans and gave that compensation.”

He answered back with the most diplomatic way. “It is bound to happen. In 1000 years to come, I’m not sure if England will still be an English land. In this global world, where you can get anywhere, anytime, it is bound to happen. I only have 2 children, but my neighbour next door who is not English, have 7 children, and their children will have 7 children. They eventually may want to claim this land. It is bound to happen”.

With that, I packed my bags, and prepare myself home. Sighing, walking and thinking. Apa yang akan terjadi pada anak cucu aku. Apa yang akan terjadi pada agama dan bangsa ku. Apa yang akan terjadi pada Negara-ku Malaysia. I hope and wish we can all still live in peace and harmony.
