life, love, *motherhood, and then more
Damn hate your double standards, ’1Malaysia’
Tuan-tuan dan puan-puan, dalam seminggu lagi kita akan meraikan tahun kemerdekaan negara kita yang ke-52 dengan lagu-lagu yang kononnya bertemakan semangat 'Satu Malaysia'.
Satu Malaysia with a good dose of very vocal people who have simply no sense of respect for their fellow citizens, and who think that just because they have a certain land-right, religious right, and colour right, it is all right to sound 'seditious' in a newspaper that speaks the 'national language' (that we all know as Utusan Malaysia), but it is not all right for newspapers in a language that they do not understand at all to be irresponsible.
Oh must I remind you that of course, most of these 'holier, I am better than you are because I have a Hak Melayu' over your measly Hak Malaysia, pakciks (sorry lah I have to sound gender-ist, since most of these idiots tend to be men, as far as I notice), just came to the conclusion that Chinese papers like Sin Chew, Nanyang and etc, are IRRESPONSIBLE and PROMOTE DISUNITY, based on assumptions.
Quoting this particular pakcik's anger driven opinion piece on the nutgraph, he says,'
Mungkin ada dua masalah utama akhbar-akhbar Cina ini. Pertama, daripada segi kualiti wartawan. Ramai yang tidak menguasai bahasa Melayu dan tidak fasih berbahasa Inggeris. Sebahagian pula tidak banyak pengetahuan mengenai undangundang, Perlembagaan dan pentadbiran negara. Ini menyebabkan banyak laporan berita dan ulasan mereka menimbulkan kegusaran dan kemarahan rakyat.
Mereka menimbulkan sentimen kebencian kepada pihak berkuasa kerana mereka sendiri tidak memahaminya.
Keduanya, sesetengah daripada akhbar ini hanya menyokong apa sahaja agenda yang menguntungkan kaum Cina. Justeru laporan berat sebelah dan berunsur menghasut kebencian kepada pihak berkuasa, kerajaan, Umno, Utusan Malaysia dan pemimpin Islam adalah lumrah dan satu kemestian kepada mereka.
Wahlau, like Pakcik, bila pulak Pakcik fasih Bahasa Cina sampai pakcik dapat menghasilkan kesimpulan yang begitu, err, how do you call it, 'promote hatred?'.
The point is, I don't pretend to understand Tamil and give my stupid two-sen over whether Tamil Nesan promotes 1Malaysia or not. I know that in my world where I exist, I'm required to do whatever I can to contribute to a loving society (I'm a Utopian-idealist in disguise, so kill me already). And hey, if you think the Chinese papers were insensitive towards your rights, hello, since when did Hak Melayu override our Nation's priority to move towards 1Malaysia? (Or Dato' Seri Najib, did I read your so called manisfesto wrong, and it was all just a political gimmick to draw our attention away from those smutty and scandalous rumours about … errr.. nvm, afturds I kena ISA).
As far as I understand, the if any of the Chinese Papers, or English papers, or Tamil papers make a wrong move, their licence gets suspended immediately. InĀ Malaysia, our newspaper agencies have to get their licences renewed on AN ANNUAL BASIS. Freedom of the press my ass… now I don't always complain so boldly about this, but I don't freaking care if you've more rights to 'own this country' than I do simply because I am not Malay, and not Muslim.
All I know is that Merdeka is closing upon us and this country feels more like an unnatural prison of rights, and articles like this DO NOTHING to dispel that sense of dread.
