Malaysian Racism:The Silence of a Lamb & The Moo of a Cow
Malaysia, few days back was stunned with shooting incidents and bigotry cases that shook the very foundation of Malaysia which is multi-racial, multi-religious and tolerance. Malaysia is the only country in the world protects the interest of majority rather than the minority. It is okay to side-line the minority and to live on their effort till the last blood. The politicians (UMNO) are very satisfied with the current circumstance and they are proud of what they are doing.
After all the cases and the incidents, Malaysians looked forward to hear what their Captain (Prime Minister) has to say about all these. This Captain chose to remain silence like a lamb. This lamb went further by giving a comment where most common man feel that the lamb has insulted their intelligent. Some of them even question the lamb's credibility and capability as a captain. Does the lamb even choose what type of grass will be served for lunch?
Since the lamb is so quiet and remains in the dark for people's eyes, the Vice-Captain (Deputy Prime Minister) starts to make his own movements. This Vice-Captain choose to be the cow and moo on all racial issues. Here, we are talking about a person cow that is trying to be the Captain of Malaysia. If we need to set a bench mark for racism and this person cow will be the one. The cow is so racist that, even the devil's worship it. This cow went to an extend saying "Insulting Islam will create Tension." So, in other words, you can insult other religions but actions will not be taken but anything said against Islam will taken down with a full force. Ibrahim Ali, Ridhuan Tee, Zulkifli Nordin and Syah Kirit was celebrated and the best some of them were allowed to stand under Barisan Nasional banner for election.
As a Malaysian, I feel that divide and rule may be politically correct but not as a nation which is trying to build a first class mentality citizen. How the f**k will Malaysia be economically or politically stable when we have a lamb and a cow ruling our country? Remember to slaughter this lamb and cow when the time comes.
We may loose the battle thousand times but never once will stop fighting a battle. Racism is a disease and we must strive harder to cure the disease. The only medicine is to show love and humanity regardless of race, religion, creed and status. Only love towards other humans and animals can make Malaysia better place to live.
All great changes are preceded by chaos

SK Seri Pristana Canteen Issue:Muslims & Non-Muslims are at fault
Since there are many speculations of the SK Seri Pristana canteen issue recently, nothing seems to be conclusive. To me, everyone is at fault. The non-Muslims and also the Muslims. Non-Muslims if they were tolerant enough to accept the fact that we can eat anywhere which is suitable to eat, there wouldn't be a problem. And to hype up an issue and to condemn the Muslims during their holy month is never the right thing to do. Plus, to exaggerate that it was a toilet and smelly are statements that are uncalled for. Provided that the reasons were acceptable as in having a sink would ease these students to wash their hands after eating and provided that the changing room is hygienic. Adding to the fact that there are no other rooms, halls or open spaces that would hamper these students from eating.
While for the Muslims, during fasting month, a non-Muslim can eat in front of a Muslim and if he could tolerate that, then this Muslim has purely understood the purpose of fasting. It's not just about not eating but it's also on how to control the urge of eating although there are people eating in front of them. And it's also not right to segregate anyone to eat within closed doors to ensure the Muslims are not influenced from those eating. It's so wrong and it's against Islam as fasting month is also a month to test the ability to control our desire. So, to me, both sides are at wrong. And things as such happen simply because deep in us we're all racists.
So why are we racists? We are segregated from the days of British occupancy till the peak of racial tension, the 13th of May. And it's still on-going although we are living in harmony. Deep in us we are raised since childhood with the hatred towards another race. One race feels superior than the other and vice-versa. We become more religious to prove that we are better than the other. We come up with many laws and legislation to condone the rights of preaching religion freely. It only happens in our very country, Malaysia. If you go beyond Malaysia, it's never like this. The Muslims or the non-Muslims are more tolerant and they can accept their faith without problems.
In a nutshell, we are all racists and to change things up, it has to begin from home and it has to be cultivated since childhood. Raise your child up by proving that we are all Malaysians and not Chinese, Indian or Malay. If you could do this, then things might be different. Or else, racism is a never ending story.

SK Seri Pristana: Best Place to have a meal is the Shower Room
The whole country "misunderstood". Only a few got it RIGHT!! Netizens went furious over a speculation that initiated through facebook picture posted by Ms.Guneswari, mother of one of the victim of circumstances. The picture of non-muslim kids eating in toilet became viral and caused havoc in networld. Everyone is pressurized, from politicians to media, to make coverage on this issue. Bloggers started to share the news and point of views (i.e.amenoworld.blogspot.com, Maire1.com & sashisez.blogspot.com) regarding this atrocity.
And then came our HERO who clarified the issue and intercepted new definition of the scenario. It's none other than Mazidul Akmal from TV3. He took the initiative to correct the manipulation of fact made by certain section of media and bloggers. His pointed out that the picture taken was not in TOILET but CHANGING ROOM which was upgraded by the school providing 2 tables with clean purple table cloth and wash basin nearby. WOW!! isn't that awesome, it was changing a.k.a shower room. All this while we thought it was TOILET. I mean seriously, isn't changing room a perfect spot to place our dining table. We can eat while changing our clothes and wait there's more... You can even eat while taking shower. How convenient is that? An innovation worth appreciation.Since it's fasting month, a perfect spot for us to buka puasa as well. See!!
Now everyone can enjoy the privilege of changing room as dining hall regardless of racial barrier. No RACISM or discrimination, an initiative to instill racial unity towards 1 Malaysia.
Mazidul Akmal even stressed that those pictures were posted a Pro-Opposition blogger. I didn't know the concerned mother is an Opposition activist. Could she be member of the Read Bean Army?? Were the pictures morphed using photoshop?? Could this be the actual picture, Oh NO!!!
Actual Picture
Morphed Picture
Ini adalah fitnah pembangkang!!!!
But finally this issue is resolved, thanks to YB P.Kamalanathan. How he did it? Simple, by taking the Headmaster statements, make his own conclusion and made further press statement saying it is RESOLVED.
Let us see what happened chronologically. At first the headmaster claimed that the canteen was closed for renovation during Ramadhan month, therefore a temporary spot was placed for Non-Muslim to eat at changing room. And then Kamalanathan said the issue pertains to the location of the makeshift canteen, as it has been used since March this year even by Muslims since lack of facilities to accommodate 1300 students. And then subsequent statement he said "Yes, the renovation only involves a glass door at the teacher's canteen, but then these are small children. So the school was concerned that the children might be hurt when they run around". "The intention was good, but the location is wrong" he added.
Am I the only one sees the contradicting statement? At first due to Renovation, and then lack of facility since March with the consent of PTA, and finally safety of children due to renovation. P.Kamalanathan did it again after 2011 Interlok KKB controversy. He'll walk in do some talking and then declares it is RESOLVED. Best part is he even made a personal contribution of RM10,000 for the renovation. He is the most "Kind" and "Diplomatic" person I've ever seen. I love this puppet show. I wonder who is the puppet master, something FISHY....
