is that good or bad?
if you can't give a good analogy, expect it to backfire
"Saya bawa kereta proton saga, ah chong dan muthu menumpang dalam kereta saya. kami sama sama menuju ke satu destinasi tetapi itu tidak menjadikan ah chong dan muthu memiliki kereta proton saga tersebut kerana saya tetap pemandu"
i won't bother translating that into english because it might sound less stupid that way, or maybe it's the other way round.
that statement is :
1. a fallacy, not analogy. it does not reflect the truth. let's put it into a context of a nation. is it to imply that the malays own this country? is it to imply that other races are simply "menumpang"? are they immigrants despite being born in this country? last time i check, that bullshit is not in the constitution.
2. contradicting itself. it is questioning ah chong's and muthu's rights of ownership on the proton saga but at the same time, it does not verify it that the car belongs to the driver in the first place. being a driver doesn't mean you own the car, the same way a pilot doesn't own an airplane. you just bloody drive. it could be even ah chong's car and he lets the dude drive.
3. FUBAR! (watch saving private ryan)
victim or simply racist?
1malaysia and its idea of a national school is not garnering much support as our PM would have liked. an idea is simple. a multiracial society with different religious backgrounds to understand each other in tolerance to promote nation building yadayadayada.....
let's rewind a few days back and look at this.
if the objective of a national school is integration, this is rather comical seeing that a principal of such school is a racist. to make a mockery of other races in this way is nothing short of symptoms of complete ignorance, self indulgent in one's race and to think too greatly of one's race.
those chinese and indian students were born here. they are truly malaysian. perhaps they are descendants from the chinese and indians who have lived here longer than some malays. they are, by all means, malaysians. they belong to this country. and for those who still haven't realise it. having the word "malay" in malaysia does not mean it belongs to the malay. it does not mean the malay have more power, or more right to live here. im colourblind, in more than one way. i dont see why other races should be looked down, or regarded as unworthy to be part of malaysia. they pay their taxes, they abide by the law. they even withstood the keris and endless uproar about ketuanan melayu. and its getting louder thanks to perkasa. this is a country that is supposed to advocate equality, but Barisan Nasional itself is divided into UMNO, MCA and MIC. no rewards to those who says who has the most power. each party shouting to defend the rights of the people it represents. but the keris wielder always have the last say.
had the principal be a chinese, my bet is that he would have been detained under ISA the next morning. but Puan Hajah Siti Inshah Mansor is as malay as anyone can get. she's more malay than me i'll give you that. its been days, and i the only action i see is that Education director general Tan Sri Alimudin Dom claiming that it was a mere misunderstanding and it had been resolved. no action taken against her. all our DPM could manage was to order a probe into the issue. our very own PM was speechless on this matter. why? because she is a malay?
to make matters more complicated we have this
ok, so she might have been a political tool by some party. she was used. bla bla bla, ok i get it. but wait, 20 complaints have been made. even some of the parents made a police report. and if really it was a political move, why is the PM so silent about it? he would have known better. he made his way into the highest status as a politician didn't he?
in an unrelated news, those who were guilty on the vandalism of the surau which occured yesterday has been arrested today.

malaysian soap opera
1. the candle light vigil peaceful rally against ISA was met with much force. they had riot police and trucks ready to prevent the rally from taking place. yet, during the cow head incident, the police just stood by and watched. they even had hishamuddin's support, claiming that "they just wanted their voices to be heard". when there were mass gatherings at mosques after friday prayers in retaliation of the use of the word "Allah" in catholic publications, najib said "we cannot stop the people if they want to congregrate within the mosque compounds". er, right. next time let's see what happens if they have the candle vigil in churches and temples.
2. amidst the sodomy drama, an affair emerged between mohd saiful bukhari azlan, the key witness and farah azlina latif, the junior member of the DPP (Deputy Public Prosecutor). both are crimes. so if anwar is going down, so should saiful. but in bolehland, double standard is well...standard.
3. the rumour, as there has not been any solid evidence, of the use of lim guan eng's name instead of the agong's in the khutbah in several mosques in penang. and yet, there would be swift investigation regarding this matter. over a rumour?
4. the sudden discovery of teoh beng hock's suicide note, despite Dr Pornthip's claim that it was not suicide. with utter disbelief, Nazri Aziz, minister in the PM's dept called her a LIAR. little did he know that she was the most trusted person in thailand, according to a Reader's Digest survey.
