Melayu oh melayu..

In the forum, I debated with a lot of forummers pasal Malaysian politics. Tapi disebabkan I sokong the opposition party, naturally, I was almost beaten to death by UMNO supporters over there. Even my intellectual friend, Deviant, has abandoned me there.. he told me that he has given up coz dia dah penat. And he is someone who has a Master Degree in 'some socio-politic thingie'!

Let me set this straight. I took an interest purely as a form of amusing myself while at work. But I was hooked on it as things started getting so complicated and so interesting. I started engaging people on a debate, especially when I know that they are staunch UMNO supporters. Most of the time, I let things slide off because the debate started getting too heated up and too emotional (we are talking about Ayah, Mak, Mak Long -- all of them support UMNO when it was led by Mahathir Mohamed). They don't understand why I keep on promoting Anwar Ibrahim. Hahaha..

But I realised, a lot of Malays are like this. They love to follow.. 'Ikut-ikutan'.. Bila tanya kenapa tak mahu sokong Anwar, they tell me that dia ni ejen yahudi lah, ejen US lah, Anwar gila kuasa, Anwar is the reason why Malaysia tengah huru-hara sekarang. Bleah~

Tapi mereka cuma cakap ajer, takde bukti.. Bila suruh tunjuk bukti, they will melencong to other topics or show examples from other countries that have nothing to do with whatever that is being discussed. Whereas, I, will do my darndest to prove them otherwise with paragraphs from newspaper articles, reputable blogs.

Ketuanan Melayu tu salah. This so-called rights has only benefit people on the top. Yang golongan2 miskin, papa kedana masih juga ketinggalan.

Universiti untuk kaum Bumiputera? This will only churn out graduates (yang dah naik lemak sebab asik kena spoon-fed) who are unable to compete in the real world with bangsa lain.

Cubalah berfikiran terbuka.. think outside the box.. even if that means you have to move out of you comfort zone.. Jangan senang sangat diperbodoh2kan.

Ok.. this brings me to one of my pet peeves.. Bila orang hantar email, baca dan pahamkan kandungannya. Lepas tu, check sahih atau pun tidak sebelum email itu di'forward'kan.

I can't believe that even now, we still have people forwarding emails that have already been proven to be hoax! Why can't you just do a simple search using Google before pressing that 'Forward' button? Do you see Hotmail closing down? Friendster? Or Bill Gate claiming to give thousands of dollars to people who forward emails to their friends?

Masyallah..

AND pleaseeeeeee... don't forward me any chain letters.. coz I've never forwarded any of these emails before and nothing bad had happened to me because of that. I believe that Allah would never let bad luck to happen to me just because I did not forward that 'sad love story' to 5 people in my mailing list.
