My point, where i stand

" What winners know is, it's not where they stand. It's that they take stand."

1. The hottest Bersih 2.0.
It's today. I agree with all their demands. It's about time.Bersih is supposed to be "bersih" as well from any political movement. But some parties did take advantage over this rally. The opposition tried to show they support this rally, even the alim-ulama just put blind eye over the ambiguous Ambiga, the Bersih leader. <-- This is where i get suspicious over this rally, that woman is anti-Islam, and she's not even trying to shadow it. The usual answer is, ah she's not leading you towards anti-muslim now, she's leading towards a clean and fair election blablabla. But seriously, she's a very capable lawyer, who knows what her true intention is. While, the government side are more retarded. I don't get why they show how hot their pants are. Everybody knows they are restless, their seats are under fire, but for their own sake why they need to be that obvious? As Bersih is supposed to be politically neutral, they should've seize this opportunity and act like they are on citizen's side. Bad actor government..With all those bad and stupid decisions (seizing t-shirts, roadblocks, losing the media integrity etc etc), even the neutral ones like me now are choosing sides, the one which is less stupid.

And the rally itself, well i don't live in kl so my comment is void. If i were the kl-dwellers, i might prone to oppose it (yes i am selfish), and everything that cause traffic jam, including roadblocks because stupid ruthless vvvip crossing the road.Traffic jam is one of the reasons i never consider living in big city.

2. I don't get why we have to be grateful at this and that. Be grateful only if one works more than one should for our own sake. I am rude like that. You know, how people said be grateful, you get to study because of government. Government build the hospital, and only asked you to pay little for medical service. Oh my words, government are not even there if my ancestor, my elders didn't choose them. Government don't have money if my family don't pay taxes. Government don't have their "slaves" if my parents (and me soon) stop working. Government just did what they supposed to do, and we pay them to. Why the need to be that grateful and just kowtow to everything they said? We have voices too though in democracy, my voice and a mental patient's voice is deemed the same value. It should be two-way, we thank government for doing their job well and follow their lead harmonically, and government be grateful for us putting our trust in them. And since i know some people might say, lemma, you get to study overseas because government pay you, in my defense, even without government's help, i can make it here (in that case, here would be UK of course). Scholarship as mine, are rewarded to top students, not government-worshipper and i was the top student, i deserved it. Pardon me if this sounds vain, i'm just stating the truth. And it's because i still want to believe in our government, i still continue studying here with work prospect in Malaysia. I got a much better offer than this, hence this ranting.

3. Again, still about our country. We are multi-racial country, we proud of that. But don't you think, even after  53 years living together, we still see Malay as Malay, Chinese as Chinese, and Indian as Indian. We have gaps.What's that? Why can't we be just one, Malaysian? We talk different languages, with Malay being the official language. Oh, really? What good you get if you can only speak Malay? Nothing. That's why i learnt English diligently. Try speaking Malay in some places, you get treated like crap. Then try speaking English, you'll see the difference. So much for "malay is bumiputra with some special rights", we can't even uphold our official language. I heard/read how people don't get job because they can't speak mandarin. Oh now on top of english, mandarin is also a necessity? This just shows how Malay language hold almost no value in the market. I wonder if some time soon, our official language is changed to English, and we'll become country with no culture.

4. If you love Malaysia much, you'll use proton. You speak Malay in official business. You buy malaysian-made things. You change money in the country. And talk about proton, well, i'm good with it. My family used various types of proton, from saga to exora, and they are all good (speed well, good pickup(pikap?), very good air-conditioner, silent engine though not as powerful as european ones but hey, it's different cc so) with very cheap maintenance.For now, we have 3 cars and all are protons. All of them are/were very good, on par with toyota and honda and nissan (we used them before, hence this statement) in the same price league. So i don't get why people complain so much about proton, maybe my whole family is very lucky for 22 years++, or maybe people are less educated on how to maintain a proton, or maybe people are just suwey (sial-prone). Proton is our country baby-step in automotive field, we need to support them so they can be on par with ferrari one day. The most plastic politicians are the ones that talk excessively to love our country blablabla so vote them, but still using foreign cars. Eat shit la! I promise to try to continue using proton, watch me. And yes, my family do not use proton solely because it's cheap. And we don't have any relationship with proton, the closest one is my father's friend is a proton dealer.

ps: some people have diabetic eyes when they past 24 and complaining it's hard to read my blog because of the colours, hence the new boring layout. Oldies, you guys need vacation and sleep more...
