Ketuanan Melayu

Apakah definisi bangsa/race?

 

Adakah dari segi genetiknya?

- Kalau ada gen mata sepet maka dia orang Cina

- Kalau ada gen bulu mata lentik dan byk bulu maka dia orang India

- Kalau ada gen kulit kaler coklat dan agak cerah berbanding orang India, maka dia Melayu

 

Adakah dari segi cara hidup?

- Makan pakai chopstick, berbahasa Cina maka dia orang Cina

- Pakai pottu di dahi, tindik hidung maka dia orang India

- Pakai baju kurung, makan rendang maka dia orang Melayu

 

Adakah dari segi bahasa pertuturannya?

Adakah dari segi Agamanya?

Adakah dari segi tempat kelahirannya?

Adakah dari segi tempat kelahiran moyangnya?

Adakah dari segi parti yang dipangkahnya sewaktu Pilihanraya?

 

Aku sebenarnya dah muak. Dah muak mendengar hal2 bergaduh pasal bangsa ni. Korang tengok National Geographic tak? Macam beruk ko tahu tak? Macam beruk kat kat hutan. Beruk ekor pendek bergaduh berebut kawasan dengan beruk berekor panjang.

 

Tongkat.

 

Tongkat gunanya untuk membantu. Sehingga kaki sudah benar-benar pulih.

 

Adakah aku Melayu yg tak lupa daratan?

 

Kata mereka, kalau la bukan kerana 'keistimewaan Melayu' aku takkan dapat bersekolah di sekolah berasrama penuh. Dan dengan keputusan SPM aku yg sederhana berbanding ramai lagi budak2 non-Malay takkan dapat aku menjejak kaki ke USM. Dan kalau tak kerana aku Melayu tak kan dpt nya aku grad dan dpt kerja bagus. Pendek kata tanpa bantuan, aku sekarang ni mungkin bekerja sebagai operator kilang.

 

Kata mereka lah.

 

Cuba bayangkan senario ini pula. Kali ini di negara yg tiada 'keistimewaan' Melayu. Aku mungkin akan berusaha dgn lebih gigih lagi di sekolah supaya aku dpt masuk sekolah berasrama penuh sebab aku tahu peluang nak masuk amatlah payah sebab terpaksa bersaing dgn bangsa2 lain juga. Ok, mungkin aku gagal masuk sekolah bagus. Dan aku pun bersekolah biasa. Bila SPM sekali lagi aku terpaksa berhempas pulas belajar, sebab peluang aku ke USM sama sahaja dgn Segaran atau Chin Fei. Aku mungkin jadi lebih pandai dari sekarang.. atau aku mungkin juga kecundang. Kalau aku sama pandai dgn diaorg, Alhamdulillah. Dan bila aku masuk USM, aku tak der la rasa inferiority complex bila berkawan dgn budak2 bukan Melayu sebab aku tahu otak diaorg sama saja dgn otak aku. Otak pandai :D.

 

Bagaimana kalau aku gagal masuk university?

 

Katakan waktu tu mak ayah aku pun tak larat nak bayar yuran kolej swasta, aku tak jadi belajar. Aku bekerja. Kemudian aku boring. I want to take control of my life. Aku mula buat kek untuk dijual (itukan passion aku :) ). Sambutan amat menggalakkan. Jadi aku bukak kedai. MARA tak der so aku macam nak mampos la kumpul duit dan buat pinjaman bank. Dan sebab aku letak hidup aku sebagai cagaran perniagaan dan aku tahu aku takder degree so tak leh la nak kerek, jadi aku usaha keras memajukan bisness. Bisness berkembang. Aku pun dah boleh pakai BMW 5 series.. eh silap.. Aku pakai BMW M6 (ha, ambik ko!). Berjaya dalam hidup jugak kan?

 

Point nya di sini (ader point tau, aku bukan sekadar merapu meraban), kenapa bila kita sebut pasal nak hapuskan hak istimewa orang Melayu, kita terus terbayang yg kehidupan kita akan jadi lebih teruk dari sekarang? APA BANGANG DAN BODOH DAN TAK RESOURSEFUL sangat ke bangsa Melayu ni sampai perlu dipakaikan tongkat hingga kiamat. Ko tahu tak apa istilahnya? Bangsa yg 'istimewa'. Istimewa a.k.a CACAT/KURANG UPAYA .

 

"Ko boleh la cakap camtu.. Ko orang bandar.. Educated.. Camner dgn anak2 pesawah padi/peneroka FELDA? Kalau bukan sebab NEP, tak merasa la diaorg belajar jauh2 ke obersea"

 

Sebab tu kita kena ada affirmative action jugak la.. Tak boleh la kasik peluang sama rata kt semua orang. Kalau tak penuh la university dgn budak2 bandar yg terror speaking english. Tapi 'keistimewaan' tu haruslah diberi kepada puak2 yg kekurangan, contohnya, keluarga miskin, atau OKU tanpa mengira bangsa.

 

Pernah dgn tak, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger"?

 

Dgn cara inilah kita dapat memperkasakan bangsa Melayu (wah, macam menteri tak aku guna perkataan canggih ni?) supaya bila sebut Melayu takder la org associate dgn bangsa yg MALAS, BODOH SOMBONG, SUKA SALAHKAN ORG, PARASIT. etc.

Masalah di office

Help me, I'm dying!!

The other day I blogged about Mr. G, my ex-boss, right? Now I wanna blog about Miss K, my current superior.

She's leaving the company. Leaving me, all by myself!!

Wraaghhh... !!! I don't know whether to laugh or to cry when she broke the news to me this morning. You see, there used to be four of us in this section. Mr G, Mrs M, Miss K and myself. Very multiracial team (Mr G and Mrs M - Chinese, Miss K - Indian, myself Malay) which is very convenient to us during our respective holidays. During Chinese New Year Mr G and Mrs M could take long holiday while me and Miss K fending the fort. Same goes for Deepavali and Hari Raya.

Then Mrs M leave to another 'more important' section, leaving us three. It was bearable, given than Mr G was a good leader so even though we're understaffed, we managed to get things done (and some). During this time people (read: big bosses) started to notice Mr G's existence. He got promoted even skip a few bars. His promotion outshone Miss K's performance, so when Miss K marched to the big bosses' room to demand her well-deserved promotion, the boss simple answer was, "Sorry, we can't promote too many staffs in the same section".

A little bit about the company I'm working with. It's pretty much of a Chinaman company. You'll get promoted for the wrong reason. Also the boss has a habit of promoting someone based on the crowd s/he hangs out with. This of course pissed off Miss K and a lot of other people. That racism issue came up also. I tried not to fan the fire 'coz heck, I AM A G0DDAMN MALAY. I felt so ashamed bitching about racism and injustice while outside the company, my race championed the art of racism! :D.

Then, Mr G suddenly resigned. It was just Miss K and I. Which means Miss K would be doing Mr G's work, but with less salary and less ranking.

A typical Malaysian company, you are no one unless you got some 'pangkat' (rank) in the company. Let say, you're just a senior exec, your job is collect reports from managers to be submitted to the regulatory body (say... Bank Negara for an instance). Tough luck. No matter how you stressed this report is important for our company etc. these beruk managers would just ignore you. No sense of cooperation and responsibility. You gotta rope in the AGM or something, then you gonna see some results.

This year finally Miss K got promoted. Too little too late I must say, 'coz Miss K started to feel that the management did not appreciate what she did to the company. They only promoted her to 'jaga hati' and stuff. Three times she had been promised promotion from the big boss, and three times he lied. So she had enough.

We started scouting for new staff, and last month we got one. Miss K and a boss interviewed that Malay girl. Fresh grad. Miss K said her English is not that good, just so-so, which kind of egging me a bit. In our line of work we need someone who could converse and understand English well. Because 1) We have to read a mountain of guidelines, manuals, documents in English. 2) All presentation are done in English 3) Bosses semua kalau tak cakap Cina, cakap English jer.

The new staff will be coming in next month, by that time Miss K already gone. I don't freaking know how am I going to survive? It's bad enough when only Miss K and I in the team ( that's the reason we request another 2 staffs from big boss in the first place), now I, the little ol' kerja-setakat-nak-gaji me have to guide the new staff to do everything. Mati worrr!!!

As I told Miss K when Mr G left and she felt that she couldn't handle Mr. G's workload, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" and maybe this is an opportunity in disguise.

I hope this new development won't kill me :'(

An entry about Joe

Last time I read joeperantau blog, he mentioned that half Malay new friend of his found his blog.

Then Joe removed his blog.

Very mature indeed Joe! :P

Out of desperation I Googled 'Joe Perantau' and found that I'm not the only one who once 'obsess' about joeperantau.. the blog I mean, not the person. Who knows, he could be an asshole once we get to know him (haha).

Anyway, where ever you are Joe Perantau, good luck. I hope life will treat you well. If somehow you find a way back to Malaysia, I urge you to publish your blog as a book. There are a lot of suckers for this kind of story (including yours truly.. haha). You could make a lot of money, you know. I mean, you're quite famous in the Malay and gay blogging world already..

Reminder

Small things that bug me..

 

1) The way <strike>my husband</strike> men take offense when I swear. I mean f*ck it, I am a human being too, not some kind of angel or bidadari dari syurga of what ever f*ck you think I am.

 

2) Uhh... nothing.

 

Sekian. Wassalam.

Are children from heaven?

A friend of mine went on a date. The first date.

Her date talked a lot about his nephews and nieces and this bored the hell out of my friend, so she just said, "U huh.." here and there.

"Oh, so you don't like kids?" he asked.
"No" she replied bluntly.

:D

It's kind of a dilemma for me too. If I said I don't like kids people would think that I am some kind of monster. If I lie, then I am being hypocrite.

Why am I talking about kids today?

Because last Friday during lunch in the cafe I sat next to a manager from my department. We rarely talk to each other. The manager asked about my lunch buddy.

"Oh, she went back home to pick up her daughter from school" I explained.
"How about you?" she asked.
"Huh? What about me?"
"Yalah, you dah lama kahwin tapi still tak der baby?"

I was like, WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM??

But acted cool.

"Oh, I nak tunggu dulu. I am not ready to have a baby yet" I said
"Or is it like the Malay people say 'tak ada rezeki lagi'..?" she guessed.
"Heh.. if you say so.. iyelah tu kot"

Really, I don't think it's worth to have a long ass conversation with her explaining why I choose to wait, unlike most Malay couple who got married at 24 without proper financial planning and emotional support and 9 months later ended up with a baby, and 1 baby a year after that, then complaining that they don't even got a chance to go for a honeymoon, and now always tight on budget.

Seriously, not ALL Malay want to have 10 kids. Sheesh.

Which bring me to the next ranting..

This morning some friends talked about last night's Bersamamu. Well, that show generally. It pissed the hell out of us watching some of these 'poor' folks are quite 'industrious' when it comes to baby making. Who in the right mind would have 8 kids if you can't even feed for one?? Yeah.. yeah... Rezeki anak and all that shit. If that's true than have 5 more kid lah. Then you'll be a millionaire.

I am not pissed because they have a lot of kids. Goddamn, I don't fucking care. I am pissed because they want us to donate money to them to clean up the mess they created. If you can't afford to have kids then DON'T!!

Could somebody please take these people to LPPKN for free condoms or vasectomy??

Bila aku balik kampung Wan, aku selalu sangat overheard keluhan orang2 sana tentang 'nasib orang Melayu'.

"Apalah nak jadi.. 'Diorang' dah kuasai negeri kita"
"Kita ni menang sorak tapi kampung tergadai"
"Itulah kita ni lalai sangat. Over confident"

Of course la kata2 macam ni aku tak dengar di kampung aku sebabnya orang kampung aku sokong Pakatan Rakyat! Muhuahha!!

Berbalik kepada tajuk perbincangan..

Aku kesian dengan mereka-mereka yg menyamakan UMNO = MELAYU, jadi kalau tak sokong UMNO maka kita tak sayang bangsa.

Ya, mungkin 50 tahun dahulu perjuangan UMNO suci dan murni. Tengok sahajalah pendokong2 parti waktu itu. Tapi jangan lupa ya, bukan UMNO sahaja yang berjuang untuk kemerdekaan Tanah Melayu. Pertubuhan2 lain seperi AWAS dan API juga berjuang untuk tanah air kita. Tapi kenapa nama UMNO yg diletak di buku Sejarah? Biasalah kan.. "history is written by the victor". Anyway, UMNO dulu dianggotai oleh cikgu-cikgu, makcik2 tg sanggup berkorban apa sahaja untuk bangsa.. UMNO sekarang? Ada duit baru datang meeting..

Aku ada terbaca artikel tadi, "UMNO sudah expired". Mungkin benar. Mungkin tidak. Kita tengok sahaja nanti. Adakah mereka nak jalankan proses 'pembersihan' dalam UMNO atau tidak. Kalau masih guna formula yang sama, muka yang sama, InsyaAllah, Pilihanraya Umum akan datang, kami dengan suka hatinya akan tolong buang ubat yang sudah expired ini. Free of charge!

Go blog or goblok?

Semenjak menang tipis pilihanraya ni ramai la pulak pemimpin2 BN buat blog. Reason nya sebab ada barua mana la bagitau mereka yang punca kekalahan ialah sebab BLOG atau lebih tepatnya media internet.

So mereka2 yg tak panjang akal ni ingat hanya blog boleh melawan blog. So mereka pun buat la blog mereka sendiri. Konon2nya nak lawan la tu.. (tak cukup dgn propaganda di TV, radio dan surat khabar.. internet pun depa nak conquer!).

To be honest aku menyampah baca blog mereka sebabnya isi kandungan nya macam RTM yg di blog kan!

Mungkin mereka masih tak faham fungsi blog. Mereka ingat tulis satu dua artikel (itu pun entah PR dia yg tulis kot?) letak dlm blog wallah!! You're a blogger!

It's not THAT simple, idiot!

Antara fungsi blog yg menyebabkan ia jadi wadah pilihan ialah sebab dlm blog, pengunjung boleh komen tentang artikel kita. Ya, mungkin kita boleh censor tapi kalau dah komennya 3-4 ratus larat ker? Dan lagi, orang akan lebih respek kalau diaorang ni man enough to reply those comments.

Ada antara pemimpin BN yg mungkin tak pernah dgr suara sebenar rakyat (yang dia selalu dengar suara pembodek2) akan mengalami kejutan yg amat sangat bila melihat komen2 yg diterima.

Dan ada pulak yg dah tak tahan baca kutukan rakyat, terus disable kan ajer komen tu, contohnya cam blog Ali Rustam.

Kebanyakan orang yg menggunakan internet ialah orang yg terpelajar jadi nya tak sesuai la nak bagi ceramah kat diaorg macam bagi ceramah politik waktu perasmian sekolah. Sebabnya mereka akan dissect point2 artikel tu sentence by sentence.

Tak apalah, ubat itu pahit...

Tapikan, dah terlanjur pemimpin2 negara buat blog (dan mencerobohi territory pihak pembangkang... oops silap, Pakatan Rakyat), apa kata kerajaan pusat kurangkan sikit bodek membodek dan information black out di media2 massa? Bagilah peluang berita2 berkenaan PR (yg baik2) keluar TV. Kita share-share la, fight fair and square.

Travel the world and the seven seas.. Everybody is looking for something..

Plan hujung minggu ini.

Berjalan2 bersama 2 couple kawan Wan. Satu couple pengantin baru, satu couple dgn baby sorang. Aku dan Wan couple yang 'pertengahan' hahha... pengantin baru pun bukan, mak ayah orang pun bukan.

Sabtu (5 April) - Ke Lenggong, Perak. Melawat kawan Wan punya wife punya parents. Rumah diaorg dekat ngan Tasik Raban di mana penternakan ikan air tawar di jalankan. Jadinya perusahaan yg popular di sana ialah ikan pekasam. Aku sebenarnya tak der la suka sangat ikan pekasam ni, tapi kalau orang hidangkan, aku boleh jer makan.

Last time pergi sana, diaorg ada bela seekor musang pandan diberi nama "Jagger". Macam Mick Jagger tu la kot? Tak tahu la hidup lagi ke tak benda alah tu

Ahad (6 April) - Ke Cameron Highland. Sewa sebuah apartment di sana. Sajer nak kacau pengantin baru ber honeymoon :D.

Tentatively, bulan May atau June nanti kami (us and that newlywed couple) akan ke Pulau Tioman pulak. The guys dah pergi sana masa diaorg bujang dulu, cuma kami girls ni jer belum.
Dan 19-22 July (yang ni confirm dah), Wan dan aku akan ke Medan, Indonesia dengan kawan seofis Wan dua orang (dua2nya single so hopefully takder la banyak cekadak.. heh). Ni pun sajer jalan-jalan.

Hari tu mak aku tanya aku sama ada aku ada simpan duit di Tabung Haji tak? Of course la aku simpan kan? Sementelah pula baru2 ni Tabung Haji punya faedah 12%. Banyak ker duit akak kat Tabung Haji tu? - mak aku tanya. "Aderlaaahh..". "Daripada akak dgn Wan berjalan2 sesana-sini, baik korang kumpul duit pergi Haji dulu"..

Aduh!!

Sebenarnya, kami berdua ni bukanlah orang kaya dan berduit banyak. Gaji kami pun lebih kurang kawan-kawan se 'batch' kami jer. Cumanya sebab Wan merupakan manusia yg tak boleh duduk diam setempat (aku rasa masa sekolah rendah dulu, dia ni la set2 budak2 lelaki nakal yg suka tarik2 tocang budak pompuan) dan pulak tu kahwin dengan aku yang 'perasan muda' dan non-conformist (masa sekolah dulu aku sorang jer tak der pakwe, now that most friends my age dah ader anak, aku jer yg tak rasa 'that pressure'). Jadinya kami akan sentiasa cari jalan untuk berjalan-jalan dengan menggunakan budget yang paling ciput. Yeah, move away Qushairi, biar kami pulak jadik host "Percutian Bajet".
