These words seem to be very popular in my country recently. Since today is our 51st independent day, i'd like to write about it. 25 years ago, the kampung where i used to live. My kampung neighbour was a chinese. We played together but we never went to the same school though their home is very near to Sekolah Kebangsaan. No chinese or indian send to these school. There are about 20++ races in Malaysia since the independence. Nowadays, Chinese and Indians want to be equalized like the malay who rule the country. Chinese especially DAP has launched the slogan, Malaysian Malaysia. But, deeply i am quite suspicious. If we wanted truly not to be seggregated by races, still the chinese and indians defend their chinese and indian school. still, they want to retain their mother tongue as a medium of communication. Unlike in indonesia and phillipine, though chinese control the wide of the economy; they dont have the privillege to have chinese national school or retain medium of communication. It is pointless if the malay tried to propogate national unity and sacrifice, and the other side refuse to sacrifice.
I dunno what it is meant by Malaysian Malaysia. Does it mean, there would be no more malay, chinese, indian etc? Nation to have and speak in one Language? forget our heritage? Lotsa chinese supported the DAP but they failed to comprehend what malaysian malaysia it is.
I personally dont have problem with malaysian malaysia as i believe we have to be equally treated, to be given same level of opportunity. just like the malay phrase:
"hidung tak mancung pipi tersorong-sorong". We have TO EQUALLY SACRIFICE! Not fair if the other side forgo their privilege and heritage, and the other parties are not willing to do the same!
