and it's members consists of a guy who has his own sex tape, another involved in the linggam tape. it has conducted operasi lalang in the name of national security. it has seen peaceful rallies being treated with water cannons, tear gas, riot shields, and endless arrests. it has seen a principal making racist remarks during the holy month of ramadhan and got away with it. it has seen that a particular non-muslim been told not to enter a surau without the consent of selangor islamic religious council when the prophet himself has never stopped anyone from entering a mosque as long as they carry no ill will. it has seen a lawyer strangling himself in the courtroom in his bid to prove that one can strangle himself and die. it has seen enough sodomy trials to outrun Lost.
need i say more?
looking back, malaysia is no longer just about ali, muthu and ah chong living happily, harmoniously together. i desperately wish this can come true but with so many scars, can we really be blind enough to look past them if we can't even look at another skin colour without prejudice. malaysia is not just about all the races living in tolerance and peace when things are going good. because frankly, things aren't. and who do we have to thank for that?
i have forgotten what malaysia is about, and perhaps what independence means to me. i have lost my faith in religion a long time ago. now im losing faith in this country. i just need to see a glimpse of hope that malaysia can be a country where ali would stand up for muthu and ah chong when that bitch makes another racist remark about them.
i need to see yasmin ahmad's commercials again.
pardon the vulgarity, it's 4am and i still believe in the freedom of speech.
