IN A MALAYSIA that is becoming more racially polarised and economically dichotomised, the passing of my Chinaman friend, Yap Keng Hock, on Aug. 14 was a sad moment.
We, his Melayu friends, called him China Yap and he loved every bit of it. We could very well be the last Malaysians who could call each other by our “bangsa” and not a bit offended by it.
But in public we would refrain from calling out to each other by our bangsa - Melayu and China - for fear that we might offense the sensibilities of the new Malaysian generation who are not used to the kind of camaraderie that once defined our multiracial and cross cultural relationship.
Our group comprised the late Captain Mahyuddin Ahmad of Kulim, Kedah; Yap; the executive director of Media Prima Berhad, Ahmad A Talib and yours truly.
Mahyuddin and Yap collaborated in business. When Mahyuddin was a manager at Marco Shoes in Klang, Yap supplied moulds and dyes for Nike shoes that the company was then manufacturing under license.
[The photograph above was taken in 2002 showed Yap (extreme left) with Mohd Desa Omar, VS Ganesan, Myself, VM Muru, Azmi Bahari and Solehan Haji Badri at a Hari Raya open house.]
Yap learned mould and dye making in Japan when he was sent there by his early employer, Matsushita.
Mahyuddin went on to set up a mill in Kulim to produce castrating rings for animal husbandry. Mahyuddin’s business was inherited by his children and all of Yap’s four children are working in the family business together with Yap’s younger brother, Gary.
When I was introduced to Yap in the late 1970’s, he was running a makeshift foundry in Klang. I noted in my report in the Business Times newspaper that his foundry looked more like a pigsty than a factory.
He enjoyed every bit of the report and told me later that even American bankers found his story inspiring. When the factory caught fire and was totally destroyed, he built a better one.
Yap was indeed a kampung boy who made good thanks to his Malay and English education, and the fact that he was born and raised in a mixed rural town in Negeri Sembilan.
Today, there aren’t that many Malays like Mahyuddin and Chinese like Yap, who attended bilingual multi-ethnic schools where the command of the Malay and English languages built bridges and tore down communal fences.
Sadly today, the Malays and other Bumiputeras attend national schools, the Chinese go to Chinese type national schools and Tamil-speaking Indians go to Tamil type national schools.
They all call themselves national, but they are separated by geography, language, culture and quality of education. To add to the confusion we also have private and international schools where the better-off parents are free to send their children.
Little surprise that when products of this fractured school system meet each other in later life, they are already influenced by deep racial, religious and cultural biases that makes the fostering of a true bangsa Malaysia nearly impossible.
As I grow older and many of good friends of those unprejudiced times are either dead or struck down by age-related illnesses, I look back at the past with a mixture of satisfaction and nostalgia that we were once true Malayans (and later Malaysians). Wallahualam.

Saya sangat-sangat bersetuju dengan pendapat Dato' di atas. Sebagai rekod, dalam blog Dato ini, sudah beberapa kali saya nyatakan bahawa perpaduan nasional tidak akan berlaku secara menyeluruh selagi sistem persekolahan dan pendidikan KEKAL sepertimana hari ini.
Perpaduan Rakyat Malaysia bakal dicapai dituai jika sistem SATU SEKOLAH, SATU SISTEM PENDIDIKAN diamalkan secara TOTAL,dan MENYELURUH.
SANGAT MALANG, tiada siapapun BAHKAN tiada seorang Perdana Menteri pun "berani" nak "sentuh" sekolah Cina dan India.
KERANA, kononnya menghormati HAK ASASI mereka.
HAKIKATNYA, tiada keberanian kerana takut UNDI MELAYANG!!!
PADA HARI INI, saya amat yakin belum ada mana-mana pemimpin politik BERANI menyuarakan pendapat KETIDAKPERLUNYA sekolah jenis kebanggsaan Cina /India.
NAJIB, tak berani.
ANWAR,tak berani.
SIAPA YANG BERANI DATO'???
And now we have DAPs and the likes of Dong Ziong fanning racial hatred against the Malays. Perkasa became a product of Chinese hatred against the Malays when government isn't responding swiftly against these perpetrators.
ReplyDeleteIn Singapore, or the olden days of Malaysia, people like Lim Kit Siang and his son would've been shot dead by special branch or at very least, put away in Kamunting.
Elsewhere, a simple tweet describing a particular race in a bad light would've caused somebody behind bars.
"Little surprise that when products of this fractured school system meet each other in later life, they are already influenced by deep racial, religious and cultural biases that makes the fostering of a true bangsa Malaysia nearly impossible".
ReplyDeleteSaya juga pernah menyatakan pendapat ini kepada sahabat-sahabat, bila bincang soal perpaduan Malaysia.
Yang dapat masuk IPTA, Cina-India-Melayu dapat "bersemuka" selepas 18 tahun dididik, diasuh dengan sistem pendidikan masing-masing. Sikap keBANGSAan mereka masih menebal tapi sekurang-kurangnya ada peluang untuk mengurangkannya.
Yang masuk IPTS, pun sama tapi saya fikir impaknya sedikit kurang dari IPTA.
Bagaimana yang langsung tidak dapat melanjutkan pelajaran ke peringkat yang lebih tinggi???
Mereka ini, Melayu-Cina-India terus menerus terasing bersama kaum masing-masing TIBA-TIBA "bertembung" di celah-celah kehidupan yang sangat mencabar. sedikit sahaja selisih faham,bolehjadi menjadi satu isu yang boleh merebak dengan cepat dan pantas.
Malaysian-Malaysia, 1-Malaysia tidak berdaya, tidak berjaya mewujudkan TRUE-MALAYSIANS.
Bangsa Malaysia left the building when Bumiputra and NEP was introduced.
ReplyDeleteBecause Ali, Ah Chong and Ramasamy no longer share the same set of challenges.
No longer a level playing field.
Ali get 8% discount for the same house Ah Chong and ramasamy wants to buy.
Ali gets to invest in ASB where the returns are higher.
Ali's children get an easier path for scholarship.
Ali no longer eats in Ah Chong's and Ramasamy houses coz it not halal anymore .
nak buat macam mana lagi, "nasi sudah jadi bubur".
ReplyDeleteIni bukan kata saya, tapi kata kata melompat dari mulut Tun Mahathir sendiri ketika duduk diluar umno sekejap dulu.
Bukan itu sahaja, Umno dicop busuk dan buruk.
Siapa angkaranya kita tak tahu. Nak kata umno punya kerja ada yang kata tidak.Siapa yang nak mengaku.
Nampak dengan jelas apabila Tun Mahatnir kata nasi sudah jadi bubur dan umno busuk dan buruk.

ReplyDeleteThe `era of tribalism' kat malaysia
mai balik dah....`' tukang kipas' dan batu api dari atas sampai bawah,semua `tribes' sekali...
Apa susah, benua afrika punya tribalism dah lama dah,tak pi kemana pun depa...kalu satu malaysia nak joint depa apa salahnya tak?, lagi pun tak ramai pun dalam 30 juta orang saja,bagi 3 thailand,bagi empat vietnam,bagi lapan indonesia saja...
Lagi pun kalu negara maju sangat

Elok juga buat referendum nak tribalism ka tak nak, kalu nak tribalism,pi terus kut tu, kalau mampuih,mampuih pi laa, kan tu demokrasi,tak gitu?
Tu la ada pendapat kata demokrasi
is not easily applicable in a heterogenous society..ada kebenerannya.

ReplyDeleteSaya juga sudah beberapa kali nyatakan bahawa tanggungjawab hakiki orang politik ialah mencari dan mencipta isu masyakaratnya yang kemudiannya mereka cari jalan penyelesainnya dengan cara mengubal dasar awam yang sesuai dalam bentuk belanjawan, undang2 dan rancangan/ projek untuk diterjemahkan oleh golongan pelaksana dasar awam iaitu kakitangan kerajaan.
Malangnya meskipun kalangan ahli politik kita nampak dan sentiasa diingatkan oleh orang seperti sdr dan Dato' bahawa, isu perpaduan nasional masakini yang berakar -umbi daripada dasar awam yang begitu lama membiarkan terlalu banyak jenis sekolah dalam sistem pendidikan negara (seperti yang artikal Dato' ulas) itu sebagai satu isu masyarakat, tetapi mereka buat-buat tak nampak dan pekakkan telinga.

ReplyDeletePerpaduan dan penyatuan rakyat
Pemimpin pemimpin barangkali mereka pun kurang sedar.Mereka pun ibarat ketam yang suruh anaknya berjalan betul.
Pada hal dikalangan mereka sendir pun tak bersatu.
Tidak ada satu contoh setakat ini yg nak dapat dijadikan tauladan pada rakyat.
Sama pemimpin yg satu agama dan satu bangsa pun tak bersatu.
Perpaduan dan penyatuan dalam selera mereka sendiri.Bukan selera untuk kebaikan rakyat.
Yang menjadi segala batu api ini ialah pemimpin diatas.Rakyat diadu domba oleh gelombang rasa tamak mereka.
Kehancuran sesama sendiri adan sesama rakyat amat bahaya sekali.
Pemimpin kita semua aliran kena tunjuk model terbaik dulu.
Terima kasih.
Tidak dinafikan kenangan masa lalu sering menggamit pemikiran kita terutama dalam hal-hal keseronokan terutama di ambang pasca merdeka. Sekitar tahun 1960an dan 1970an, masa itu kita masih tebal dengan sistem British khasnya penjawat-penjawat awam. Parti, berdansa, mabuk, kabaret, night club adalah perkara biasa dan menjadi simbol status elit dalam terutama masyarakat bandar. Filem-filem Allahyarham Tan Sri P.Ramlee banyak memaparkan hal-hal yang sedemikian. Kehidupan di kampong juga ada caranya yang tersendiri seperti, perjudian, khurafat, tahyul, laga lembu, laga ayam, laga biri-biri. Masih ingat lagi gaya hidup hippi, ganja, seluar bell bottom dan baju bare back. Inilah kehidupan diterima oleh Ahmad, Tong Seng dan Ramasamy di bumi Melayu. Justeru ramai pihak yang ‘bergotong royong’ untuk menjayakan kehidupan ‘lagha’ sebegini hatta siak dan noja boleh tergedik-gedik atas pentas joget lambak semasa kenduri kahwin.
ReplyDeleteAtas rahmat Allah SWT, kesedaran Islam berputik kembali di hati masyarakat Muslim di Malaysia bermula awal 1980an apabila kerajaan melaksanakan Dasar Penerapan Nilai-nilai Islam dalam pentadbiran. Justeru dapat dilihat ramai kaum Hawa bertudung, Bank Islam, sistem jual beli secara Islam dan sedikit demi sedikit amalan yang tidak Islamik ditinggalkan sebagaimana yang dapat lihat pada hari ini. Waktu ini juga, kita jarang melihat Ahmad, Tong Seng dan Ramasamy duduk semeja sambil menikmati ‘air sarbat’. Sukar dilihat kelibat Abu dan Swee Lan berpacaran ke panggung wayang. Islamisasi telah banyak mempengaruhi kehidupan bermasyarakat semua bangsa di Malaysia yang seolah-olah mempunyai haluan yang tersendiri di mana kurangnya mahabbah dan toleransi. Tidak sedikit yang berpandangan bahawa Islam satu agama yang keras dan jumud. Adakah sebegitu?
Y.Bhg Dato',
ReplyDeleteI think the national unity will only remain a dream so long the existing economic system in the country is still based on a minority ethnic group dominates a large part of the economy.
2. Generally, this is something not acceptable anywhere in the world where a minority group owns or controls almost two-thirds of the nation's wealth.
3. I have the opinion disputes about the education system is something trivial so long as the economic system is not corrected. It will be self corrected when the fairness in the economic system is established.
4.Bumiputra as the majority should be given the right to control the wealth of the country as a first step towards national unity.
5.Tun Razak took the correct action when the new economic policy was launched after the incident of May, 13. However, it is really sad because the Malays are not fully united to ensure the achievement of the policy. Rightly, differences of political affiliation should not give room for any party to criticize the new economic policy.
6.After more than 50 years of Merdeka, the minority group still in control of the whole chain of economic activities from production, value-added activities, financing, marketing and retailing. At one time Prof Aziz Ungku used the term “monopoly and monopsony system” to reflect the role of the intermediary in an economic system dominated by this group especially in rural economy.
7.Let us ask ourselves as Malays what percentage of our overall expenses spent in stores owned by the Malays.
8.After the launching of the DEB, various programs have been implemented but failed to break the chain of economic activities dominated the Chinese.
9.The question is how to achieve national integration in situations where an uneven field for competition between the races in this country. In reality, there are hatred feelings among the Malays against the Chinese mainly because of the unfairness in the economic system though these feelings are not shown publicly.
Iklas,
Rahim
I've a friend who's very dear to us in our sports team in UM. We call him Keong Anak Cina. He's not the least offended. But of course this is an 'inside thing' what we dare not do in the presence of other people. Perhaps this is part of the problem Dato', that when we refrain from showing our 'selamba'ness, we discourage others from being selamba. Maybe I'm wrong..
ReplyDeleteAnd bodoh pandai, I don't really believe it's because of the NEP like you said. You see, I'm only 32. I believe that if you keep on thinking like this we can never find a solution to this dilemma.

Saudara Rahim, Saya nak tambah item 5. ketirisan projek. sudah di debatkan dalam Perhimpunan UMNO apa kesudahan tindakannya? Biarlah Pembangkang menkritik supaya UMNO jalankan tugas dan tunaikan tanggungjawab, tapi UMNO hanya gegakgempita dalam Dewan Perhimpunan buat lawak bodoh semua pakat gelak.Ini dewan jenaka atau nak pejuangkan bangsa? Sekarang bangsa Melayu kena gelak.
ReplyDeleteItem 7. saya setuju sangat kita kena check kedai siapa kita berbelanja. Walaupun kita ada pakar buat produk kilang dsb tapi nak jual kat wholesaler mana? retail mana? kalau kedai Melayu tak ada jangan harap nak dapat wholeseler melayu. dan jangan mimpi nak buat kilang. kilang vendor boleh le mcm Proton Produa tu dan GLC selebih tu janagan harap nak masuk line.tak percaya try.

ReplyDeletePernah dan biasa dengar senikata lagu ini?:- MALAYSIA BERJAYA.
Malaysia kita telah berjaya
Aman makmur bahagia
Malaysia abadi selamanya
Berjaya dan berjaya
Berbagai kaum telah berikrar
Menjungjung cita cita
Satu bangsa satu bahasa
Malaysia berjaya.
Sewaktu kecil lagu lagu begini sering berkumandang di radio, sampai boleh hafal, dan lama lama kita faham apa maksudnya, kerana disekolah guru juga memberi pemahaman yang lebih tentang apa maksud merdeka.
Sungguhpon kita tidak begitu bergaul dengan bangsa bangsa lain disekolah tetapi guru memberi gambaran bahawa kita tak perlu berdengki dan berdendam dengan bangsa bangsa lain kerana mereka adalah rakyat negara yang perlu kita hormati.
Bila dewasa kita belajar lebih mendalam tentang ugama, dan disitu kita lebih memahami hidup bermasyarakat, hak hak masing masing dalam masyarakat, tanpa kita merasa tergugat, walaupun bangsa lain adalah jiran kita.Kita boleh hidup berjiran tanpa ada rasa was was.
Yang menjadi pokonya sekarang adalah anasir penghasut, jadi kerajaan perlu sedar dan perlu bertindak tegas,jangan biarkan nasik menjadi bubur.
Saudara SmartTinta,
ReplyDeleteI would like to thank you for responding to my comment. Discussing the leakages of DEB in Perhimpunan Agung UMNO is an example of the stupidity of Malays in politics especially in a multiracial country like Malaysia.
2. NEP as the basic policy to benefit the Malays should not be used as a joking materials or discussed in an open forum. The subject must be placed at the highest level and respected as how we uphold the Perlembagaan Negara.
3. The policy to restructure society and to eradicate poverty should be maintained as long the imbalances in economy system among the races still exist.
4. To me, restructuring society means an equitable distribution of wealth among the races and there should not be any minority group controlling everything in our economy. It may take a few decades to achieve but the Malays must be given a clear direction in achieving that vision.
iklas,
Rahim
Rahim, Naj and all,
ReplyDelete1. Those who opposed and chided the DEB are people who want to see the poor remaining poor and the rich getting richer. Their mantras are meritocracy and free market.
2. They are also against the eradication of poverty irrespective of race and oppose the restructuring of society so that Malays are not forever identified with the rural economy and Indians with the estates.
3. The NEP opponents are generally well-educated and well to do. But they are also individualistic and selfish.
4. In my recent trip home to my village, the roti canai maker, Nashar Abas Ibrahim, told me that "Cina Panjang" owns much of the Pekan Tanah Merah. We knew Nashar's father as Keling Ibrahim. Then we called all Indians "Keling" -- from the world Kalinga which was an ancient Hindu Empire in India. Ibrahim was in fact a Pathan.
5. Very people know "Cina Panjang's" real name. All that they know is buying from him and selling to him. They even borrow money from him. NEP or no NEP he continues to prosper. His real name is Tay Ng Hong.
6. During the May 13 1969 riot, the former Malay Home Guard members - my late father included - formed a team armed with shotguns to protect their Chinese neighbours from possible attack by hotheads.
7. In 1969, for every 10 cars and shop houses burnt down in Kuala Lumpur, eight or more belonged to the Chinese. Today more Malays have cars and houses in Kuala Lumpur. Maybe that's why a repeat of May 13 is less likely.
8. As much as I defended the ISA, I also defended the NEP. NEP and ISA contributed to what has become of us today - largely peaceful and fairly well-off.
Thank you
ReplyDeleteI strongly belief 1 Malaysia will never be achieve .
I strongly believe that racial politic in Malaysia will never come to the end.
I strongly believe interracial relations will be more a part .
There no way that you being raise and develop differently can come together at the latter age.
The answer is Malaysia must make a brave move to one school system ,it's better late then never .
Sdr Tebing Tinggi,
ReplyDelete1. Dasar satu sekolah tidak akan menjadi kenyataan, apatah lagi dalam suasana kerajaan yang lemah dan tidak tegas.
2. Kalau PR memerintah pun mereka tidak akan ubah sistem pelbagai sekolah dan bahasa. Mungkin lebih teruk.
3. Hanya Lee Kuan Yew berwawasan dan berani hapuskan sekolah Cina kerana beliau tidak mahu ada dua kelas orang Cina di Singapura. Lagi pun waktu itu, Cina Singapura yang berpelajaran Cina umumnya anti-kerajaan dan terlibat dengan gerakan komunis.
4. Apa nak kata, di Malaysia kita ini, ada menteri yang tak hantar anak ke sekolah kebangsaan. Semua anak saya belajar di sekolah kebangsaan dan Alhamdulillah mereka berjaya.
5. Yang salah bukan dasar, bahasa dan rancangan. Yang salah adalah pelaksanaan yang hambar dan kepemimpinan politik yang tidak ada iltizam dan tidak ada keazaman. Wallahualam.
Terima kasih.
Pemimpin2 polituik bolih main peranan penting dalam mengujudkan keharmonian dan kemesraan antara Melayu-Cina-India dan kaum2 lain diMalaysia. Kita faham parti2 politik perkauman mempunyai peranan masing2 tetapi pemimpin2nya jangan terlampau ghairah tapi mesti bersikap moderate dalam kepimpinannya. Yang penting mana2 parti politik yang berjaya memerintah kena bersikap adil kepada semua kaum dalam semua segi berdasarkan kepada meritokrasi (seperti dalam sukan)....dalam pelajaran, biasisiwa, pekerjaan,kontrak dan lain2 selepas 25 tahun Merdeka. Pada pandangan saya aliran Inggeris disekolah2 adalah aliran yang terbaik untuk negara kita yang berbilang bangsa untuk mengujudkan rakyat bijak, cerdik dan yang penting sekali hidup bersatu! Bahasa Melayu sebagai Bahasa Kebangsaan dan bahasa Cina-India dan lain2 kaum tidak akan terjejas kerana terus diadakan disekolah2 tetapi menjadikan negara ini lebih maju dan berilmiah! Seperti Dato dan ramai2 pemimpin2 yang berpendidikan aliran Inggeris Dato tidak hilang kuasa Bahasa Melayu tetapi lebih yakin bila berbincang diforum2 antarabangsa....itu kelebihannya!

ReplyDeleteYBhg Dato' dan Pembahas yang saya hormati.Memang benar masalah ini tidak dapat diatasi selagi kita tidak mengkaji dengan hati terbuka sebabnya. Pada saya masalah ini adalah rancangan halus yang dimajukan kepada pemimpin kita semasa menuntut kemerdekaan. Pihak British telah memberi jalan mudah kepada mereka yang mendapat latihan di United Kingdom dengan mengutarakan konsep berkongsi kuasa. Mereka diberitahu akan terus berkuasa selagi mereka menjaga kumpulan masing-masing untuk mengundi mereka.Pasa mulanya memamanglah menunjukkan membela bangsa masing-masing untuj mendapat sanjungan dan undi. Lepas itu mengguna apa cara untuk kekal berkuasa.DEB sungguh cantik. Dengan mengwajibkan mendapat kredit dalam Bahasa Melayu telah menambah nilai ekonomi Bahasa kita. Tidak difahami mengapa dasar ini telah diubah begitu rupa hingga supper market pun memerlukan orang berpelajaran Inggeris untuk berkerja wal hal pembeli utama terdiri dari orang Melayu.

Tidak sukar untuk mereka melakukan perkara sebegini dengan dominasi mereka yang semakin bertambah setiap hari.

Salam Dato’ Kadir,
ReplyDeletePlease allow me to share a bit of my life story…
I once had a conversation with a non-malay lecturer friend from one of the IPTA. Our views differed on a single school system. And I wonder how many scholars are against it? Is the threat of losing cultural identities stopping such move of setting up a single school system? Maybe… I don’t know.
I was brought up in an environment that taught me to respect people regardless of color or creed. I thanked my father and my late mother for their initiatives to bring up my siblings and me this way. When talked about different races, I will always have fond memories of the people who came into our lives as we grew up.
Our family once employed an Indian maid to look after us when my father was posted in Kedah. My father was a planter with one of the British company before Malaysia started to nationalise foreign owned companies here. We are so fond with our maid, whom we called ‘Kak Ramu’. We treated her as our elder sister and she treated us as her younger siblings. She was part of our family. I still missed her.
Earlier in our lives, my father was once posted somewhere in Melaka. My late mother, my elder sister and my younger brother tagged along. It is in Melaka that my mother somehow befriended a Chinese couple with a little baby girl. They would visit my late mother and have tea. One day, our family decided to adopt this baby. What I learned was that, this couple already had other children to take care and they were having a hard time to cope financially. And this is how we have a new addition to our family.
When my mother passed away, my father re-married and I have new family members. Two lovely little sisters, they are half Siamese and half Malay. Our family is a little bit ‘rojak’. As we grew up, there were the Mat Salleh, Melayu, Cina, India and others that crossed our path…
Sorry if I bored many of you with my life’s story. It is just that, the transition from the past into the present time makes me a little bit sad. One race looks down upon another race. Stereotyping is rampant and fingers point in all directions. This is us. This is the reality now.
A single school may help to foster unity. But a home is where everything begins. The education that we receive from home is priceless. It is the first mould we go through before we passed through other moulds that will eventually shaped us into a human being.
Just pandangan sekupang dua dari saya..

Yang patut kita tenguk kenapa bangsa cina tidak mahu memasukkan anak mereka ke sekolah kebangsaan, bagi saya kalau kualiti sekolah kebangsaan kita sama taraf dgn kualiti sekolah jenis kebangsaan tak mustahil kita akan kembali kezaman dato dahulu. Dato tenguk kenapa bangsa cina terlalu meminta anak2 mereka untuk memasuki IPTA dari pada IPTS, ini sebab kualiti IPTA kita lebih baik dari IPTS. Dengan kata mudah kita kena perbetulkan kualiti pembelajaran sekolah kebangssan dahulu baru dengan sendirinya bangsa cina meminati untuk bersama-sama kembali ke sekolah kebangsaan.

Askum Bro,
ReplyDeleteYour downright comments is so true as I also find that true political friends are not many today, even if we have known them for a few decades. I also have a share of my personal experience with these political opportunists, whereby they will need your help when they want a favour. Once they get what they want, they will walk straight without even looking into your eyes or say hello to you.
Now after 60 years of living a fruitful life, I must admit that my best of friends are not politicians but the ordinary and none of the performing professionals that will appreciate our golden years. These are my long time classmates and school mates from the 50s, 60s, 70s who are still around to share their moments with us down the memory lane.
Sometimes, I am quite disappointed with my senior political friends and wish that they do not behave as if the whole nation and country will collapse without them in power. For that, I still salute Tun Dr. Mahathir and Pak Lah for their modesty and humility as we can still respect each other as friends of the 60s until today.

Sila beri sedikit penjelasan bagaimana boleh jadi begitu?

Bagaimana mungkin saya boleh beri penjelasan atas kenyataan yang dibuat oleh orang lain???
Saya hanya bertanggungjawab atas kenyataan yang saya buat, bukan kenyataan yang orang lain buat!!!
Dan sangat tidak bertanggungjawab dan tidak sensitif kalau orang lain bagi kenyataan, orang lain yang dihentam dan dapat nama!!!
Lembu punya susu, bagilah namanya kepada lembu! Bukan kepada sapi!

(berasiam?!)
Maka saya amat amat amat malu kerana kesalahan itu, langitbiru.
saya mohan maaf.
Maka dan oleh kerana berasiam yang empunya kenyataan itu maka saya tarik balik kenyataan saya yang tidak bertempat wal tidak langsung masuk akal kepada langitbiru yang yang telah dipertinggikan lagi qahhar.
maka sekiranya anda juga mahu turut sekali terdirinya 'hung parliament' selepas PRU13 nanti, saya amat-amat berterima kasih.

wahai lanunbahasa !
mengapa tersilap sasaran mu?!

maka jelas sifat dan tabiat mereka
berasiam berat pagarnya senget
mengapa begitu perlu berlaku

ada hari mestinya si-lanunbahasa
hairan tersihrnya yang nyata
berasiam bukan melukut
namun pagarnya senget sebelah
bukan assobiyah lupakan perkauman
bila berdiri tegak di atas titian lurusan
namun wajib nama pada sifat
berasiam itu pun jelas hakikat
if only it i was just a case of
he slip of the tongue and as easy
as copy and paste
Sigmund Freud, whose name is
indelibly linked with such gaffes, called them Fehlleistungen (faulty actions) in his 1901 book, The Psychopathology of Everyday Life. He deemed them notable for revealing an unconscious thought, belief, wish, or motive. "Almost invariably I discover a disturbing influence from something outside of the intended speech," he wrote. "The disturbing element is a single unconscious thought, which comes to light through the special blunder."
namun, kenapa berasiam kata begitu?
hung parliament bukanlah perkara enteng
al-mulk! mishari lagi
is it a slip of the eye o mahaguru?

Assalamualaikum sdr Rawa-Lanun-Bahaso
ReplyDeleteTerimakasih.
we went to the malay school and later after an examination of sorts were transferred to the Special Malay Class. In the Malay school we were thought how to read and write jawi and until today my jawi writing and raeding is as good as if not better. We had sekolah ugama.At the SMC we were mixed with Indian, Chinese and Baii boys who are still our friends. We could interact and mix freely. In the University unfortunately I was sharing a room with a Kelatan boy..who despised anything non Malay or non Islam until i found him too much that I asked to be moved out from the room and instead I shared with a Chinese Science student from Kedah Teoh
ReplyDeleteToday the Ktan guy is active in PAS and his feelings for the non malays and non Muslims is as thick as before.I often wonder why they are with The Pakatan politically??
