Essence of 1Malaysia

The interest thing about Malaysia right now is that our best thing is also our worst thing. The multicultural society that we have is a good thing. With diversity you can have the best of every culture. In a team of soccer for instance, not every player can become a striker. Some player needs to be the midfielder or goalkeeper. This is due to each distinctive strong point that makes a soccer team strong. However, with strong players dos not ensure success if there is no understanding between the players. Cohesiveness as a team is very important. Knowing other players strength and weaknesses is also vital. So, what this got to do with Malaysia. A lot actually.. Every ethnic in Malaysia have its strength and weaknesses. But, utilizing the strength of each races is not enough without strong teamwork and understanding between each races. This is what 1Malaysia is all about.. Is not the differences of each culture that we should highlight.. or the gaps of wealth between the races... but the most important is how we as a society can work together, filling each other weaknesses with our own unique strength. By doing this, Malaysia as a country can stand high. This is not a patriotic post that I am writing, but more of what I feel that needs to be highlighted by the mainstream media. Instead of highlighting what each races in Malaysia should deserved, we should highlight what is needed to strengthen our ties... and then probably we can scale even higher mountains.

Najib vs BERSIH 2.0

One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it. -Unknown (quoted from Kung-Fu Panda)

This quote is taken from the movie Kung-fu Panda. In that movie, the grandmaster had a vision that his greatest enemy will escape from the prison. His disciple knowing from this immediately send someone to that prison to alert the guard and to tell them to double-up the security. However, by sending someone there, he inadvertently causes the prison break of that enemy. If he were not asked to come there, the enemy would never escape as envision by the grandmaster. Quite ironic, isn't it.

This is actually similar to where Najib is doing against the BERSIH rally. He tries everything in his power to stop this rally but inadvertently he has spurred the interest of people to participate in this rally. The crackdown on BERSIH supporter can only drew more sympathy to their cause. The media hype about this BERSIH rally is really dumbfounded. You can see it in TV, you can see it in the newspaper. Everyone knows it is going to be held in 9th July. The BERSIH organiser got free advertisement and promotion, courtesy from the government. Plus now, there is an added bonus, they got a stadium now, again courtesy from the prime minister and Yang Dipertuan Agong. The harder you try to block it, the more the real it become.

From the way I see it, BERSIH only represent the vocal minority.. But it seems that they like to think that they represent the majority voice of the rakyat. I for one, don't care at all about this rally thing, I personally think that we have a good election system compared to some of our neighbours and some parts of the world. They do have some faults, but at least there is an improvement. At least, democracy is practiced here. In the last election, the opposition managed to get five states, and still they say the election system is corrupted? Samy Vellu lost.. Shahrizat lost.. Anwar Ibrahim won... Nurul Izzah won.... this is big tycoons here.. and yet you say the election system is corrupted? If it truely is, I don't think Anwar can even win in Permatang Pauh.

So Najib.. just give this BERSIH their damn stadium to shout all they want.. In the general election, the silent majority will also have a say.. and we will say it silently through our votes....Not by shouting in a stadium.. PEACE !!
