Malaysia and its ethnicity

Proton service centre call me up as early as 8.15 while I was still in my slumber. Picked up my car and of course my curiosity will be why and what?

So it turns out to be... ( my correction : saga is not 3 cylinders but 4 cylinders as I heard wrongly yesterday ) the wire to the coil to whather the thingy is has not been working. It was kinda twisted and there is no connection as as result of that..wow.. how did it happen? Simple, well, it could be some mistake or mishap during the assembly of the car.

I wouldn't be bother to write complain letter as there are many other stuff to attend to. At least the problem is fix now and I give proton the credit for that. I service my car today in the afternoon. Hopefully there will be no more such perculiar stuff happen anytime soon. I just love the ride of this car from the daily commute aspect lah.

Mahathir's blog : www.chedet.com

Dr. M is talking about multi-racial Malaysia in his blog today. Come to think of it, his navigation of the countries and the foundation that he built for twenty over odd years speak for itself ; the nature of its imperfection which reap in recent years and also the prudent success in earlier years of his solitude reign as a Prime Minister.

This divide and conquer in economics scale among the races has pile up of who we are. I am not talking about the Malaysian foundation here. We are not of a foundation together.. we built ourselves in multi pillars just like the old malay rumah papan where we had the four corners to eradicate a house. That is how I see who we are.

Yes, we are unique because we stand out amongs other nations and we adjourned to our own NEP that give it shelf and other pathways and that illusive systems we close one eyes to accept..

most of us define our own tidak apa attitude in our own context lah. Some are more protruding and provacative than the others. So the NEP has basically lead us to our day by day live of cari makan mah. It is secure and the elasticity of its boundaries does allow some space for other frictions and what not.. but it is still under control lah.

We always have our trust for the government and we listened to them to allow us to have their way to our daily life because we thought it is good and it is best for us or do we? Red tape and beraucracy and blah blah..

yUp, we formulate a path though imperfection shows up but few rotten eggs would harm the harvest of tonnes of chickens.

And then like the frog in the lukewarm water; slowly we cook ourlselves to death.

Those are just metaphors..

Think again!! Now what is the framework of our social structure? I guarantee it..there will be so many answers. Now that is what make Malaysia unique from my point of views.

You live in a house and you know who your parents are and who your sibling are.. yet sometime your came home and ask where's mum for the past 3 days.. or your sister just came back from Bandung.. and you din't ask where the hell are u? instead, have I not see you for the past few days or so?

Who really knows that the past few days about Gawai celebration. The people in Kuching are asking what is Thaipusam? Yea, we know what Thaipusam is..poking and vel vel shouting and the indians offering their sacrifices. Blah Blah..

Yo.. You see.. we know from the windows of our own perspectives.

What is keluhuran perlembagaan? Probably you seen it own your PREMIER tissues box.

Does it command respect and honour for you? We are not questioning about being patriotsm here. Not even down to the knowing and empathy yet. Get it right.. our own line of defining stuff are like muddy water..

Who are we as a Malaysian?

In my recent trip, there were some carnival going on the opposite side of the field and our Malay brethens were singing out loud from their karaoke competition. The ultimate truth came when they could not go on further and said " Damn loud wanna die ppl liao"

Sikap toleransi.. go coin of word and we adhere to that for some exchange or harmony Malaysia.

I don't know about you. Sitting in these fences spell someday we are going to see Michael Jackson's Dangerous.

Open up your mind and think again in a larger pictures...

Think deep..

and tomorrow we just chew our roti canai and have a cup of tea and say damn it's RM 1.70 a cup of milo ice now. *wink

Get what i mean?
