Kalau dalam reban ayam, ini dah macam khabar berita ayam nak dapat dedak. &quot;Ayam&quot; tulen memang dah akan berkokok panjang teruja.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;&quot;&gt;
Ok, kita akan cerita tentang manusia tulen.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;&quot;&gt;
Ini inisiatif yang baik. Saya pernah tulis dan bincang tentang idea ini pada 6 September 2013 dalam salah satu posting saya di Facebook.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;&quot;&gt;
Masih samar, maka agak skeptikal dengan mekanisme perlaksanaanya. Datuk Ahmad Maslan ada beri kenyataan yang perlaksanaanya akan melibatkan MyKad. Bagus, kerana Malaysia adalah negara pertama didunia yang memperkenalkan kad pengenalan yang merangkumkan kedua-dua identiti bergambar dan biometrik data dalam chip berkomputer dalam sekeping kad plastik. So how do you recognize people with different income through MyKad then?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;&quot;&gt;
OK. Kerajaan belum beri solid explaination. They are still studying the structure and implementation mechanism.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;&quot;&gt;
Tapi for me its totally doable. Jika digerakkan kelebihan yang kita ada dalam teknologi MyKad kita secara berkesan, maka langkah asas inisiatif ini adalah, setiap individu akan direkodkan jumlah pendapatan mereka dalam MyKad. Mungkin akan incorporates data dari LHDN. Adakah itu relevan?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;&quot;&gt;
Jika ini benar, maka budaya mengisi minyak rakyat Malaysia akan lebih teratur, yang mana semua akan membawa myKad masing-masing, swap pada kaunter bayaran atau di pam, dan isi minyak kenderaan mengikut peruntukan subsisi masing-masing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;&quot;&gt;
MyKad, yang selama ini dilihat hanya sebagai sekeping kad plastik yang tertera nama, gambar dan alamat akan lebih berharga (melihat pada trend sesetengah manusia yang kerap hilang kad pengenalan!). Kerana MyKad nanti akan menjadi lambang status, dan kemampuan perbelanjaan seseorang individu.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;&quot;&gt;
Saya kira ini adalah budaya yang bagus. Kaedah dan mekanisma perlaksanaan sedang difikirkan kerajaan. Kita tunggu.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;&quot;&gt;
Assuming that penggunaan MyKad adalah asas sistem pelaksanaan, dan dilihat sebagai sistem yang tidak memudaratkan. Namun, sudah tentu setiap sistem terdapat loopholes yang perlu difikirkan.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;&quot;&gt;
Saya cetus gambaran demi gambaran loopholes yang berkemungkinan akan terjadi;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;&quot;&gt;
Pertama, bagaimana mekanisme subsidi kepada kenderaan bukan milik persendirian? Adakah akan ada sistem berlainan? Berkemungkinankah pemilik syarikat berpendapatan jutaan ringgit akan menemui loophole ini dan menggunakan individu tertentu untuk mendapatkan subsidi petrol dan menjimatkan kos operasi?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;&quot;&gt;
Kedua, kerajaan perlu mengambil kira kemungkinan akan ada masalah atau sindiket jual beli hak milik subsisdi petrol dikalangan orang berpendapatan tinggi dan orang berpendapatan rendah.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;&quot;&gt;
Kemungkinan di atas bukanlah jangkaan yang baru. Kes-kes penyelewengan subsidi sudah banyak terjadi di Malaysia. Bahkan diseluruh dunia juga. Sistem subsidi di Malaysia sebelum ini tertumpu secara mikro (nelayan/petani/ peniaga kecil) tetapi sistem yang dicadangakan ini adalah berskala besar. Maka impak dan masalah juga adalah berskala besar. Saya kira, lingkungan idea kriminal mereka yang berpendapatan tidak lebih dari RM5000 juga lebih hebat. Kerana rata-rata mereka adalah golongan berpendidikan.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;&quot;&gt;
Dalam memikirkan untuk merapatkan jurang pendapatan melalui pemberian subsidi, perlu difikirkan juga impak social class interaction dan segregation yang berlaku apabila dilaksanakan sesuatu polisi. Jurang pendapatan mungkin dapat dirapatkan, tapi bagaimana dengan integrasi kelas sosial? Perlu diingat insiden segregasi kelas sosial yang pernah berlaku di dunia, dari tanah Amerika hingga ke Vietnam adalah disebabkan polisi ekonomi dari pentadbir.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;&quot;&gt;
Maaf bahasa rojak. Saya akan betulkan semula. Raikan persoalan dan aluan perbincangan saya.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-top: 6px;&quot;&gt;
Saya tinggalkan persoalan ini untuk kupasan minda semua.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

Frasa ini digunapakai bagi mencerminkan golongan manusia yang terbabit secara lansung atau tidak lansung di dalam politik. Mungkin ada diantara kita yang terfikir kenapa sarjana bijak pandai ini sanggup menyamakan manusia yang diangkat kemuliaan ini dengan haiwan atau binatang. Aneh bukan? Kenapa mereka tidak menggunakan perkataan yang lebih elok sifatnya seperti &quot;makhluk politik&quot; atau sebagainya? Kenapa binatang? Adakah benar sikap manusia yang berpolitik ini mirip dengan tingkah laku seekor binatang?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Tidak dapat dinafikan bahawa internet, media alternatif dan media sosial memberikan impak yang cukup besar terhadap pilihanraya-pilihanraya di negara-negara maju dan membangun seluruh dunia. Jika dikaji tentang fenomena ini, di Amerika Syarikat sahaja,&amp;nbsp; terdapat anggaran 1.5 juta tweet berkaitan pilihanraya pada tahun 2008 dan 31 juta tweet tentang pilihanraya tahun 2012. Populasi pengguna media sosial ini juga sudah berubah. Pada tahun 2008, pengguna laman sosial di Amerika Syarikat didominasi oleh golongan muda. Namun, pada tahun 2012 pula, populasi pengguna laman sosial sudah menyeluruh pada semua golongan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Kita melihat penggunaan besar-besaran parti-parti politik menerusi media sosial untuk mempengaruhi sokongan rakyat dengan wujudnya askar-askar cyber (cyber-troopers) parti-parti politik yang sukarela ataupun yang bergaji. Semuanya mempunyai matlamat yang sama, iaitu untuk meraih sokongan rakyat yang bakal mengundi pada pilihanraya umum ke-13 ini. Berdasarkan label &quot;haiwan politik&quot; oleh sarjana-sarjana yang bijak pandai, seharusnya kita harus mengambil sikap berhati-hati.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Hari ini segala-galanya sudah berubah. Cabaran baru pengguna media sosial masa kini adalah untuk menilai informasi manakah yang benar-benar sahih. Namun hakikat yang dapat dilihat berdasarkan pada komentar-komentar di Facebook dan Twitter amat menyedihkan. Masyarakat Malaysia hari ini seolah-olah menerima sahaja segala informasi yang diletakkan di media sosial tanpa mempunyai kesedaran untuk periksa kesahihan sumber tersebut. Makin menyedihkan, apabila ada sesetengah individu di laman sosial yang sanggup menggunakan kata-kata kesat memaki hamun tanpa usul periksa. Ironinya, Malaysia dianggap sebagai negara yang terkenal dengan adat ketimuran dan sopan budi pekerti dan santunnya.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Perbezaan politik hanya sekelumit kecil daripada cabaran untuk mencapai negara kelas pertama pada masa hadapan. Jangan biarkan maklumat-matlumat tidak berasas menjadi &#39;tsunami&#39; terhadap pemikiran kita dek kerana kerakusan &quot;haiwan-haiwan politik&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;&quot;&gt;Presiden Barack Obama berjaya
mempertahankan jawatannya dengan memperoleh 303 undi pemilih - lebih 33 undi
minimum yang diperlukan.Pemilihan yang dilihat sebagai paling sengit dalam
sejarah AS ini telah membuktikan dunia bahawa sekali lagi sistem demokrasimemainkan
peranan penting dalam legasi kepimpinan politik negara Uncle Sam itu.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

seketika kisah Barrack Obama dan biarkan beliau meraikan kejayaannya selepas
berhempas pulas berkempen dengan belanja hampir RM6 bilion untuk pemilihan
presiden kali ini. Angka yang boleh membina 150,000 buah rumah bernilai RM

harga yang mahal ini tidak menghalang untuk masyarakat mengiktiraf sistem demokrasi
sebagai sistem terbaik untuk kelestarian politik dan sosial dunia.Jika anda
mendalami ilmu sains politik dan pengaplikasian teori demokrasi dalam
pemerintahan dan pengagihan sumber ekonomi negara, anda akan lihat banyak
kelemahan yang boleh berlaku hasil dari sistem demokrasi. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

pendefinisian demokrasi yang boleh dinyatakan disini.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Presiden
AmerikaSyarikat yang ke-16, Abraham Lincoln menyatakan bahawa demokrasi adalah
sebuah pemerintahan rakyat, yang berfungsi untuk rakyat.Sistem ini merupakan
satu sistem yang hebat. Hebat kerana ia mengangkat suara majoriti untuk membuat
sesuatu keputusan. Tetapi,perlu diingat bahawa suara majoriti tidak semestinya
membuahkan keputusan yang terbaik.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

sendiri telah menyatakan kerisauan mereka terhadap sistem demokrasi. Misalnya
Plato pernah menegaskan perlunya pendidikan serta asuhan yang teratur dikenakan
kepada rakyat agar mereka mempunyai sifat mengenaliapa yang baik dan tidak baik
untuk kepentingan bersama. Tambahan
pula, Plato menyatakan oleh sebab rakyat kurang berpengetahuan kemungkinan
besar mereka akan diperalatkan oleh orang yang pandai berpidato, tetapi tidak
amanah dan tidak bertanggungjawab. Beliau juga telah menasihatkan supaya rakyat
perlu berhati-hati dalam mengamalkan demokrasi yang memungkinkan pemilihan
pemimpin tidak setia kepada kepentingan bersama negara.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

corak pemerintah yang berasaskan demokrasi sebagai yang ideal. Beliau
berpendapat demokrasi akan dikuasai oleh rakyat biasa yang miskin dan mereka
akan berjuang untuk kepentingan sendiri dan bukan berjuang untuk kebaikan
negara.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

sistem yang popular kerana ianya adalah sistem yang mengambil kira dan
mengangkat suara majoriti. Lumrah manusia, kita akan cenderung memilih dan suka
sesuatu yang memberi perhatian kepada kita.Sesuatu yang agak mengecewakan,
namun ini adalah realiti yang perlu kita hadapi.Penulis bukan menolak seratus
peratus sistem ini. Bagi penulis,ianya adalah sistem terbaik yang tidak
sempurna.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

perlu mengalami evolusi.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

bukan sesuatu yang mudah dan bukan boleh terjadi semalaman. Demokrasi bukan
sahaja satu amalam pemerintahan, ia juga merupakan satu amalan kehidupan
bermasyarakat. Bermakna, ia sudah menjadi fahaman dan pemikiran sebahagian besar
masyarakat dunia moden.Ia adalah sesuatu yang sukar diubah tetapi bukan sesuatu
yang mustahil. &amp;nbsp;Mungkin penulisan ini
merupakan salah satu proses pertama untuk evolusi ini iaitu, dengan memberitahu
kepada sekalian pembaca bahawa demokrasi bukanlah sistem sempurna dari Tuhan.
Ditekankan disini, walaupun sistem demokrasi itu digunapakai secara meluas, ia
masih tidak boleh dijulang sebagai kiblat pembangunan masyarakat.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

penulisan ini adalah untuk memberikan gambaran bahawa demokrasi bukanlah suatu
sistem terbaik yang boleh digunapakai.Oleh itu, perlu ada evolusi dalam sistem
demokrasi itu sendiri. Selain itu penulis akan cuba memberikan kesimpulan
bahawa adaptasi ideologi politik demokrasi sosial dan pemikiran politik Islam adalah
satu pembaharuan yang perlu dicanangkan di dalam perlaksanaan pentadbiran
politik. Penulis akan memfokuskan amalan demokrasi ini dengan negara dan sistem
politik yang digunapakai di Malaysia.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Malaysia merupakan sebuah negara
yang cukup unik.Unik dari segi kedudukannya, sejarah penjajahannya dan
pengisiannya menuju kemerdekaan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Seorang pakar geografi,
astrologi dan astronomi Claudius
Ptolemy telah menghasilkan sebuah buku bertajuk &amp;nbsp;Geographia memberikan gambaran tentang peta-peta
bentuk muka&amp;nbsp;empayar Rom&amp;nbsp;sewaktu
pemerintahan empayar&amp;nbsp;Roman&amp;nbsp;pada
seawal abad kedua.&amp;nbsp; Ptolemy juga telah menamakan semenanjung Malaysia&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6865311617797870111&quot; name=&quot;more&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;sebagai&amp;nbsp;‘Golden
Chersonese’&amp;nbsp;atau pun&amp;nbsp;Aurea
Chersonesusyang bermaksud&amp;nbsp;Semenanjung
Emas&amp;nbsp;atau&amp;nbsp;Tanah Emas.&amp;nbsp;Semenanjung
Malaysia diangkat didalam penulisannya sebegitu rupa kerana&amp;nbsp;
reputasi&amp;nbsp;Semenanjung Tanah Melayu&amp;nbsp;yang
pada waktu itu, sangat terkenal sebagai pembekal emas yang terkenal di seluruh
dunia. Selain itu teks-teksBuddha Theravada&amp;nbsp;juga
menggelarkan semenanjung tanah melayu sebagai&amp;nbsp;Suvarnabhumi&amp;nbsp;yang juga bermaksud&amp;nbsp;Tanah Emas.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Maka tidak dapat dinafikan keunikan tanah ini yang telah dinyatakan
dalam teks-teks sejarah.Namun tanah yang pada hari ini digelar Malaysia ini
terus mengekalkan tradisi keunikannya sehingga sekarang. Penulis akan
mengenengahkan keunikan Malaysia dari segi budaya sosialnya yang berbagai.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Pembaca sedia maklum bahawa Malaysia mempunyai tiga komposisi kaum
utama iaitu Melayu, Cina dan India. Orang-orang Melayu sebagai penduduk asal
manakala orang-orang Cina dan India yang ada&amp;nbsp;
hari ini adalah disebabkan oleh dasar kemasukkan migrasi yang telah
dilakukan oleh kolonial British pada zaman penjajahannya.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Banyak teori bila dan bagaimana kedatangan Islam di Tanah
Melayu.Apa yang sahih, Islam sudah mula bertapak di Tanah Melayu sejak abad
ke-tujuh Masihi. Dan yang lebih pasti lagi adalah pegangan terhadap agama Islam
di Malaysia oleh orang Melayu masih kuat sehingga ke hari ini.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Tatkala identiti kaum dan agama orang Melayu itu dipertahankan,
bangsa-bangsa utama lain iaitu Cina dan India pada masa yang sama juga
memperjuangkan identiti kaum dan bangsa mereka untuk bertapak di negara ini.
Situasi ini sedikit sebanyak telah memberikan tekanan kepada para pemimpin
negara untuk memastikan keharmonian antara kaum terus terjamin.
Walaubagaimanapun, persefahaman antara kaum telah berjaya diterapkan&amp;nbsp; walaupun ada kes-kes pertelingkahan kaum yang
terjadi dari masa ke semasa selain dari tragedi rusuhan kaum pada 13 Mei 1969.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Isu antara kaum ini sudah lama berdendang malahan sejak dari zaman
sebelum kemerdekaan lagi.Maka teori kontrak sosial oleh John Locke dan Thomas
Hobbes telah digunakan sebagai salah satu persetujuan kaum untuk menuju
kemerdekaan.Penggunaan prinsip Jus Soli juga digunakan dimana orang-orang
Melayu sebagai penduduk asal bersetuju untuk mengiktiraf imigran dari China dan
India untuk menjadi warganegara Malaysia. Pada masa yang sama, kaum lain perlu
mengiktiraf hak-hak keistimewaan orang Melayu yang &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;kemudiannya
termaktub di dalam perlembagaan persekutuan seperti Perkara 11 iaitu menyatakan
bahawa&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ms.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam&quot; title=&quot;Islam&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-themecolor: text1;&quot;&gt;Islam&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;merupakan Agama
Persekutuan. Sungguh pun begitu agama-agama lain boleh diamalkan dengan
aman.Perkara 153 pula menyatakan tentang bagaimana kerajaan persekutuan perlu
mempertahankan hak-hak orang Melayu untuk mendapat kuota kemasukan ke
perkhidmatan awam, biasiswa dan pendidikan awam.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Walaubagaimanapun, kesan daripada peredaran zaman dan perkembangan
pemikiran, generasi baru Malaysia pada hari ini cenderung untuk mencabar
perlembagaan persekutuan dan segala isi kandungan kontrak sosial dan prinsip
jus soli yang telah dipersetujui oleh pemimpin terdahulu.Cabaran-cabaran ini
dikemukan berdasarkan justifikasi-justifikasi yang tertentu. Tidak kurang juga
dengan pandangan yang menyatakan bahawa cabaran dan tentangan itu tidak perlu
maka tercetuslah pelbagai &lt;i&gt;school of
thoughts&lt;/i&gt; dan juga percangahan pendapat samada dalam bentuk ilmiah atau
dalam bentuk emosi semata-mata.&amp;nbsp; Bagi
penulis, ini adalalah proses biasa di dalam mana-mana peradaban dan juga perkembangan
sesebuah negara. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Dalam konteks perkembangan negara Malaysia, terdapat pelbagai
fenomena-fenomena yang menggerunkan dalam usaha menyuarakan pandangan mereka.Penulis
akan senaraikan beberapa isu kontemporari yang tercetus dalam bab yang
seterusnya.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Apa yang penulis cuba untuk ketengahkan adalah, dalam proses
perkembangan ini, ada beberapa percubaan untuk menyalahgunakan sistem demokrasi
untuk kepentingan individu atau organisasi tertentu sahaja. Seperti yang telah
penulis nyatakan, sistem demokrasi ini tidak dapat dinafikan mempunyai
kebaikan, namun ia sering disalahguna oleh pihak tertentu. Apa yang
menyedihkan, ia mula menular dengan cukup luas di dalam arena politik di
Malaysia.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Analogi mudah yang penulis ingin gambarkan tentang demokrasi di
Malaysia adalah; fungsi senjata seperti senapang itu tidak akan dipersoalkan
jika ianya digunakan untuk kebaikan seperti mempertahankan diri atau tujuan
keselamatan. Tetapi jika ianya digunakan untuk kegunaan yang tidak baik seperti
membunuh orang yang tidak bersalah, tentu sekali fungsi senapang yang bahaya
itu akan dicemari dengan pelbagai pandangan yang negatif. Maka, ia terpulang
kepada mereka yang menggunakan senapang itu samada untuk menggunakan untuk
membuat perkara baik atau sebaliknya. Untuk menentukan dan mengarahkan si
pengguna senapang itu untuk hanya menggunakannya untuk tujuan kebaikan, ianya
sesuatu yang hampir mustahil.Tetapi tidak mustahil untuk dilakukan.Jadi jalan
penyelesaian lain adalah dengan mencadangkan mekanisme untuk membendung
kecenderungan penyalahgunaaan ‘senapang’ tersebut. Contohnya menubuhkan
‘organisasi’ yang memberikan ‘lesen’ pada orang-orang tertentu sahaja untuk
menggunakan senapang.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Oleh itu, kupasan asas penulisan ini adalah untuk menyatakan
bahawa demokrasi itu tidak salah namun perlu diberi proses evolusi terutamanya
didalam negara yang seunik dan sekompleks Malaysia.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Suka untuk penulis nyatakan disini bahawa menjadi ketua pentadbir
atau Perdana Menteri Malaysia merupakan sebuah tanggungjawab yang amat susah dan
hanya orang yang benar-benar berkaliber dan bijaksana sahaja boleh memegang
jawatan itu. Tidak keterlaluan jika penulis katakan jika diberi Barrack Obama
memegang jawatan Perdana Menteri Malaysia sekalipun, belum tentu beliau dapat
memajukan Malaysia seperti yang kita lihat hari ini. Syabas kepada
mantan-mantan Perdana Menteri Malaysia yang cukup penulis kagumi!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Bagi menguatkan hujah penulis tentang adanya penyalahgunaan sistem
demokrasi di Malaysia, molek kiranya untuk diberikan analisis tentang beberapa
isu kontemporari yang penulis yakin mempunyai ciri-ciri salahguna demokrasi di
Malaysia. Penyalahgunaan ini tidak kiralah samada dilakukan oleh pihak
pembangkang ataupun kerajaan.Perlu diingatkan kepada pembaca bahawa analisis
isu-isu ini berdasarkan kelemahan-kelemahan sistem demokrasi yang telah penulis
nyatakan sebelum ini.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Malaysia merupakan
negara Islam yang masih tinggi nilai dan ciri-ciri Islamnya di kalangan orang
Melayu.Sebahagian kalimah syahadah untuk orang Islam secara terang-terangan
menyatakan &lt;i&gt;La ilaaha Illa Allah&lt;/i&gt; yang
bermaksud “Tiada tuhan yang disembah melainkan Allah”.Di dalam ajaran Islam
telah tertulis di dalam Al-Quran iaitu&amp;nbsp; mengakui
perbezaan dan identiti agama masing-masing &lt;i&gt;lakum diinukum wa liya diin&lt;/i&gt;atau&amp;nbsp;“untuk kamu agama kamu dan untuk aku agamaku”&amp;nbsp; dalam surah Al Kaafiruun, ayat enam. Ini bermakna,
bagi orang Islam, tidak ada agama lain yang setaraf dansama seperti agama Islam
dan Islam adalah agama yang paling benar. Orang Islam di Malaysia dan seluruh
dunia berpegang teguh pada kepercayaan itu.Ia merupakan sesuatu yang sangat
sensitif bagi orang Islam untuk sesiapa sahaja menyamakan Islam itu dengan
agama lain. Jika ada, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;nescaya kemarahan akan melanda dikalangan
umat Islam. Namun Islam menghargai&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ms.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Toleransi_agama&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1&quot; title=&quot;Toleransi agama (tidak wujud)&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-themecolor: text1;&quot;&gt;toleransi agama&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;lain
tetapi tidak menganggap semua agama adalah sama. Dengan erti kata lain Islam
tidak &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;menganggap bahawa Tuhan
yang disembah oleh orang Islam adalah Tuhan yang disembah oleh agama lain.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Tetapi dalam konteks komposisi sosial di negara
Malaysia, walaupun penganut agama Islam di Malaysia merupakan majoriti tetapi
penganut dan kaum lain juga merupakan bahagian besar dalam penyumbang undi di
Malaysia. Memandangkan agama lain selain agama Islam rata-rata tidak kisah
dengan penyamarataan dan penerimaan agama yang pelbagai, maka ada unsur-unsur
untuk memperkenalkan fahaman pluralisme di kalangan rakyat Malaysia. Penulis
secara peribadi melihat ini adalah salah satu mekanisme berkesan untuk meraih
undi.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

kenyataan Ketua Pembangkang Malaysia, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim di &amp;nbsp;London School of Economics (LSE) pada
18 Mac 2010 yang bertajuk “Religion and Pluralism in a Divided World” (Agama dan
Pluralisme Antara Dua Dunia) memperlihatkan jelas sokongan Datuk Seri Anwar
terhadap fahaman Pluralisme.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Dakwaan sokongan fahaman pluralisme dari parti pembangkang dikuatkan
lagi dengan kenyataan Naib Presiden Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), YB Nurul Izzah
Anwar yang menyebut tentang kebebasan beragama dalam sebuah forum pada 3
November 2012 bertajuk Forum Islamic State: Which Version? Whose responsibility?
Walaubagaimanapun secara peribadi penulis berpendapat bahawa ini sekadar ‘media
spinning’ yang keterlaluan.Setelah diteliti video keseluruhan kenyataan YB
Nurul Izzah ini, penulis dapati banyak keraguan untuk menyatakan beliau
benar-benar menyokong pluralisme.Maka penulis tidak berminat untuk mengulas dengan
lebih lanjut tentang isu ini.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Islam adalah membenarkan penggunaan kalimah Allah oleh orang-orang bukan Islam.
Pendirian pihak pembangkang ini ditentang secara terang-terangan oleh orang
Islam yang tidak liberal.Banyak hujah yang boleh dibentangkan dalam mengkaji
isu ini.Tetapi penulis merasakan ianya tidak perlu untuk dikupas dengan lebih
mendalam dalam penulisan kali ini.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

telah penulis nyatakan berulang kali, sentimen perkauman dan agama cukup kuat
di kalangan Melayu Islam di Malaysia. Di dalam ajaran Islam dan Al Quran telah
menceritakan tentang kaum Nabi Luth telah dimusnahkan oleh Allah kerana hampir
keseluruhan kaum ini mengamalkan gaya hidup songsang, iaitu melakukan hubungan
kelamin sesama sejenis iaitu lelaki dengan lelaki yakni meninggalkan perempuan.
Perbuatan ini merupakan sesuatu penyelewengan fitrah yang amat buruk.Nabi Luth
telah menyeru mereka untuk menghentikan perbuatan tersebut disamping
menyampaikan seruan-seruan Allah, tetapi mereka mengabaikannya dan malah mereka
mengingkari kenabiannya.Akhirnya, kaum Nabi Luth dimusnahkan dengan bencana
yang sangat mengerikan dan dahsyat.Kejadian ini berlaku pada kira-kira tahun
1800 sebelum Masihi.Al Quran telah menceritakan kisah ini dalam surah Asy-Syuara.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

golongan yang mengamalkan seks songsang adalah ditentang sekeras-kerasnya oleh
umat Islam di Malaysia dan seluruh dunia. Namun apa yang terjadi di Malaysia
hari ini adalah wujud secara terang-terangan yang mendokong aktiviti seks
songsang ini yang dikenali sebagai golongan LGBT.Pergerakan menuntut hak untuk
golongan ini sebenarnya adalah bertitik tolak dari rasa bersalah tamadun barat
moden terhadap tindakan yang dilakukan oleh golongan agamawan Kristian pada
masa lampau, iaitu sebelum era Revolusi Perancis. Namun dengan status Malaysia
sebagai negara Islam dan kompleksiti sosial di Malaysia, pergerakan ini tidak
sepatutnya berlaku.Namun mereka yang memperjuangkan hak golongan ini
seolah-olah dilihat sebagai pejuang hak-hak asasi manusia.&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href=&quot;file:///F:/SPW%20206/Ketika%20artikel%20ini%20ditulis.docx#_ftn3&quot; name=&quot;_ftnref3&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;MsoFootnoteReference&quot;&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportFootnotes]--&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;MsoFootnoteReference&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;[3]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Di

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Parti paling dominan di Malaysia iaitu Pertubuhan Kebangsaan Melayu
Bersatu (&lt;b&gt;UMNO&lt;/b&gt;) juga mengambil kesempatan dari prinsip demokrasi iaitu
memainkan sentimen kemelayuan yang kuat di dalam parti itu sendiri.Penulis
tidak menyatakan ini adalah sesuatu yang salah kerana prinsip dan asas
perjuangan UMNO semenjak sebelum kemerdekaan lagi adalah untuk memperjuangkan
nasib orang Melayu di Malaysia.Apa yang penulis ingin sampaikan bahawa melalui
prinsip demokrasi lah yang membolehkan UMNO terus menjadi parti dominan di
Malaysia selepas lebih 54 tahun. Ini adalah kerana UMNO telah mengambil
kesempatan kepada kelemahan sistem demokrasi itu. Pada pendapat peribadi
penulis, selain dari kejayaan kaedah diplomasi parti UMNO untuk berbincang
dengan pihak British untuk mencapai kemerdekaan, UMNO memperoleh sokongan
kerana kejayaannya mencerminkan sebagai hero kepada orang-orang Melayu ketika
itu. UMNO bernasib baik kerana memang majoriti kaum di Malaysia adalah orang
Melayu. Jadi, untuk memastikan survival UMNO, ia perlu untuk meneruskan tradisi
sebaga hero orang Melayu. Bayangkan jika orang Melayu bukan majoriti kaum di
Malaysia, penulis yakin UMNO sudah lama terkubur. Semasa pilihanraya umum 2008
ketika Barisan Nasional gagal membentuk majoriti dua pertiga di parlimen,
sebenarnya berpunca daripada kekalahan banyak kerusi yang diwakili oleh parti
komponen lain seperti MCA dan MIC. Hakikatnya, UMNO tetap gah walaupun Barisan
Nasional hanya mampu mencapai majoriti mudah.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Hari ini, ketika cuba untuk bangun dan mengekalkan kuasa menjelang
pilihanraya umum PRU 13, UMNO sekali lagi menggunakan sentimen kaum Melayu
untuk meraih sokongan. Hal ini akan terus terjadi jika Melayu masih lagi
golongan majoriti dan demokrasi masih lagi digunapakai di Malaysia. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Pendapat peribadi penulis, ialah ketika mantan presiden UMNO, Tun Dr
Mahathir Mohamed mendeklamasikan sajak “Melayu Mudah Lupa”&amp;nbsp;Perhimpunan
Agung&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ms.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMNO&quot; title=&quot;UMNO&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-themecolor: text1;&quot;&gt;UMNO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;tahun&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ms.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001&quot; title=&quot;2001&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-themecolor: text1;&quot;&gt;2001&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;, ia adalah strategi yang sangat berguna untuk
mengingatkan kaum Melayu itu kaum yang ketinggalan dan oleh itu perlu untuk
terus menyokong UMNO untuk membela mereka. Ini ditambah lagi dengan
propaganda-propaganda terkini yang dilakukan oleh blogger-blogger UMNO yang
meyakinkan orang Melayu bahawa jika dibiarkan pembangkang memerintah, maka kaum
lain akan cuba mendapatkan kuasa politik dan akhirnya orang Melayu
dipinggirkan.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Walaupun berkemungkinan sentimen-sentimen dan propaganda yang dimainkan
mungkin terjadi, tetapi inilah yang akan terus diserapkan didalam minda orang
Melayu untuk&amp;nbsp; UMNO terus mengekalkan

ini merupakan isu-isu terang yang penulis fikir telah menyalahgunakan prinsip
demokrasi untuk kepentingan pihak-pihak tertentu.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Jadi apa analisis yang boleh dibuat? Cuba pembaca amati kembali
penyenaraian isu-isu kontemporari yang telah penulis nyatakan di atas.Semuanya
berkisar tentang sentimen agama, kaum, dan hak asasi manusia.Yang paling
penting untuk diamati adalah semuanya mengambil kesempatan terhadap kompleksiti
sosial, identiti kaum yang perbagai dan sensitiviti agama yang menebal di
kalangan rakyat Malaysia.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;background: white; line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;&quot;&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Pihak pembangkang di Malaysia cuba untuk membawa imej keterbukaan
tentang agama dan seperti penulis nyatakan pada awal penulisan, penganut agama
lain di Malaysia juga memperjuangkan agama mereka untuk bertapak dengan lebih
mekar di Malaysia walaupun mengetahui agama Islam adalah agama rasmi seperti
yang&amp;nbsp; sudah termaktub di dalam perlembagaan.
Maka, dengan adanya keterbukaan dalam soal agama ini memberikan harapan kepada
penganut agama lain untuk melebarkan pengaruh agama mereka di Malaysia. Dengan
itu, strategi pembangkang untuk meraih undi melalui cara ini mungkin akan
berkesan. Dalam sistem demokrasi, strategi pembangkang ini tidak salah!
Malaysia adalah negara demokrasi.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;background: white; line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;&quot;&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Dalam isu Hindraf pula, jelas ia adalah sentimen perkauman dan agama
yang cuba dimainkan oleh mereka. Hindraf adalah isu persendirian antara
organisasi itu dan kerajaan. Namun apa yang menjengkelkan apabila wujud unsur
politik dimana sudah tentu ia akan dibela oleh pihak pembangkang. Akal yang
waras akan dapat melihat bahawa tidak ada diskirminasi yang terlampau oleh
kerajaan Malaysia terhadap orang India seperti mana yang telah didakwa oleh
Hindraf, maka tuntutan-tuntutan sebegitu dimainkan jelas bermotif politik dan
memberikan ketegangan antara kaum.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;background: white; line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;&quot;&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Isu LGBT pula berkait dengan sentimen hak asasi manusia dan agama.
Jelas sokongan yang berterusan atas nama hak asasi manusia terhadap golongan
ini akan mencetuskan kerisauan pada orang Islam di Malaysia. Akhirnya ianya
akan membawa kepada ketidaktenteraman.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;background: white; line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;&quot;&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Sentimen kemelayuan yang kuat dalam UMNO juga boleh mendatangkan
keresahan kepada kaum-kaum lain yang juga mahu kaum mereka diperjuangkan.
Walaupun perkara ini dapat dineutralkan dengan adanya parti MCA dan MIC dalam
parti komponen Barisan Nasional, namun kaum-kaum lain merasakan hak mereka
tidak dapat banyak berubah jika MCA dan MIC terus menjadi sebahagian dari
Barisan Nasional. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;background: white; line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Analisis penulis adalah, demokrasi telah disalahgunakan oleh kebanyakan
aktor-aktor politik di Malaysia dengan membuat pelbagai persepsi, propaganda,
strategi yang hanya mementingkan sesetengah pihak sahaja.Pemikir-pemikir Greek termasuk
Arsitotle tidak mengganggap corak pemerintahan yang berasaskan prinsip
demokrasi sebagai ideal. Beliau berpendapat demokrasi akan dikuasai oleh
“rakyat biasa yang miskin” dan mereka akan berjuang untuk kepentingan diri
sendiri dan bukan berjuang untuk kebaikan negara.Jika dilihat dalam konteks
semasa politik Malaysia, penulis cukup setuju dengan pendapat Aristotle itu.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst&quot; style=&quot;background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Demokrasi
sudah lama mengambil tempat dalam peradaban moden dunia. Disebalik kebaikan
demokrasi yang diagung-agungkan, bagi penulis sistem demokrasi sebenarnya sudah
hampir ke penghujung era kegemilangannya.Setelah mengkaji segala
kelemahan-kelemahan sistem demokrasi, penulis sedar yang adanya kesan yang
cukup besar yang sedang terjadi disebabkan kelemahan-kelemahan itu.Maka evolusi
demokrasi perlu berlaku.Evolusi demokrasi perlu berlaku untuk mencapai
demokrasi yang matang.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Namun seperti yang telah dinyatakan di dalam pembukaan penulisan ini,
evolusi demokrasi bukan boleh terjadi dalam masa yang singkat. Seperti analogi
yang penulis gunakan, “senapang” tidak perlu diubah, tetapi pengguna senapang
perlu diubah atau wujudkan&amp;nbsp; mekanisme
untuk menghalang senapang itu agar digunakan dengan cara yang baik.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Di Malaysia, perlaksanaan demokrasi yang berlansung masih belum matang.
Sebab itulah pelbagai masalah timbul. Di
dalam kancah politik Malaysia sudah timbul tentang perbincangan tentang poltik
baru atau ‘new politics’.‘Politik baru ini seringkali dibicarakan oleh pemimpin
politik muda Malaysia seperti contoh Ahli Majlis Tertinggi UMNO dan juga
Timbalan Menteri Pengajian Tinggi, Dato’ Saifuddin Abdullah.Ia adalah politik
yang berasaskan nilai, adab dan pengetahuan.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Dato’ Saifuddin mengatakan politik tidak mungkin dapat dicapai tanpa
wujudnya integriti politik.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;“Politik perlu
didasari oleh idealisme, aktivisme dan intelektualisme, bukan kepentingan
peribadi atau kepentingan yang tersembunyi.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&quot;Kita patut
amalkan politik keilmuan, politik kebijaksanaan dan politik perkhidmatan,&quot;
&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Oleh itu sambil mengekalkan sistem asas demokrasi,
nilai-nilai perlu diterapkan kepada pengamal demokrasi.Menurut pendapat
penulis, terdapat tujuh peringkat nilai yang perlu dicapai untuk
mencapaiperingakat demokrasi matang di Malaysia. Nilai-nilai itu adalah unsur
kebebasan, kesamarataan, akauntabiliti, keadilan, keterbukaan , transperasi dan
kepercayaan.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

mengadaptasi beberapa fikiran dan ideologi politik lain untuk mencapai evolusi
demokrasi? Bagi penulis, ianya perlu kerana Malaysia mempunyai iklim politik
yang sangat unik.Penulis melihat ideologi politik demokrasi sosial dan
pemikiran politik Islam amat sesuai untuk digabungkan dalam menyesuaikan demokrasi
dalam politik di Malaysia.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Penulis telah
menghuraikan permasalahan di Malaysia yang mengamalkan sistem demokrasi.Masalah
utama yang dapat dikenalpasti di Malaysia yang mengamalkan sistem ini adalah
kecenderungan memainkan sentimen agama, perkauman dan hak asasi dengan
mengambil kesempatan kompleksiti perkauman di Malaysia.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Seperti yang penulis telah nyatakan tentang evolusi demokrasi, ianya
bukan perlu berubah dari sistem demokrasi itu, tetapi perlu berubah dari segi
nilai aktor-aktor politik yang mengamalkan demokrasi itu. Evolusi itu perlu
terjadi dari segi nilai yang perlu menerapkan unsur-unsur kebebasan,
kesamarataan, akauntabiliti, keadilan, keterbukaan , transperasi dan
kepercayaan.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Dari kajian terhadap unsur-unsur ini, penulis berpendapat bahawa&amp;nbsp; perlu ada adaptasi dari idelogi dan pemikiran
politik dalam sistem demokrasi di Malaysia untuk menyesuaikannya dengan iklim
politiknya yang kompleks. Adaptasi yang disyorkan adalah:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Penulis merasakan bahawa kedua-dua ideologi dan pemikiran politik Islam
ini perlu untuk diadaptasi berlandaskan dua faktor utama dalam iklim politik
Malaysia.Pertama adalah Malaysia merupakan negara berbilang kaum dan kedua,
Malaysia merupakan sebuah negara Islam.Penulis menggunakan perkataan ‘adaptasi’
kerana kemungkinan hanya sebahagian dari prinsip ideologi dan pemikiran ini
boleh diambil untuk memastikan kelestarian demokrasi di Malaysia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Sebenarnya ideologi demokrasi sosial ini telah
dibawa oleh salah satu&amp;nbsp; parti pembangkang
Malaysia iaitu Parti Tindakan Demokratik (DAP). Walaubagaimanapun DAP&amp;nbsp; jugamenghadapi kritikan memainkan sentimen
perkauman dengan beberapa kenyataan pemimpinnya. Oleh itu, DAP juga merupakan
sebahagian daripada aktor-aktor politik yang menyalahgunakan demokrasi walaupun
ideologi dan pemikiran politik mereka pada asasnya penulis fikir boleh membawa
kebaikan kepada Malaysia.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Demokrasi sosial merupakan&amp;nbsp;ideologi politik&amp;nbsp;yang
menggabungkan sosialisme&amp;nbsp;dengan unsur – unsur kapitalisme yang di anggap
sesuai.Demokrasi&amp;nbsp;sosial juga dapat di katakan sebagai fahaman politik yang
di sebut sebagai sosialis moderat yang berkembang pada abab ke 19.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Memang jika penulis mensyorkan keseluruhan adaptasi ideologi tidak akan
sesuai kepada evolusi demnokrasi di Malaysia kerana sedikit sebanyak fahaman
sosiolis mengambil tempat. Namun salah satu prinsip asas demokrasi sosial yang
boleh diadaptasi adalah bagaimana kita hendak bantu orang bawahan supaya
memanfaatkan semua, asasnya ialah, orang bawahan harus dilayan dengan
bermaruah, iaitu hidup sebagai seorang insan dan bukan hamba.Bermakna, orang
bawahan ini tidak lagi memerlukan suara demokrasi untuk membela mereka. Mereka
akan terus terbela. Asasnya adalah untuk membantu masyarakat.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Nilai yang kedua ialah kebebasan.Kalau tiada kebebasan, masyarakat
tidak boleh menyertai ruang awam, tidak boleh memberi pandangan politik. Bukan
memadai hanya dengan mengundi, tetapi penyertaan rakyat dalam proses
penggubalan dasar, dalam proses demokrasi. Jadi kena ada kebebasan bersuara, kebebasan
berkumpul, kebebasan menyertai apa-apa jenis organisasi, kebebasan memilih dan
sebagainya.Kebebasan itu penting.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Yang ketiga ialah berkaitan keadilan.Iaitu dari sudut undang-undang dan
juga keadilan sosial. Keadilan sosial secara asasnya bermaksud semua manusia
adalah sama dan setaraf. Semua orang ada hak dan juga berhak dikira sebagai
insan sama rata. Bukan seperti komunis, bukan hasil sama rata tapi hak dan
peluang saksama.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Menurut kajian pensyarah kanan ekonomi Universiti Sains Malaysia, Dr
Saidatul Akma menyatakan bahawa dari tahun 1957 sehingga 1990, memang terdapat
penurunan kadar kemiskinan di Malaysia sebagai contoh 15.9% pada tahun 1957
kepada 12.7% pada tahun 1990. Namun permasalahan di Malaysia adalah&amp;nbsp; jurang golongan perpendapatan tinggi dan
golongan berpendapatan rendah masih tidak berubah secara ketara. Terdapat
masalah pengagihan kekayaan negara sebenarnya berlaku di Malaysia.Yang miskin
bertambah miskin dan yang kaya bertambah kaya. Kata beliau, 60% rakyat hidup di
bawah pendapatan gaji RM3,000. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 200%; margin-left: 36pt;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 200%; margin-left: 36pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Sebenarnya, kerajaan Malaysia sudah mengamalkan sistem demokrasi sosial
ini seawal tahun 70-an dimana Dasar Ekonomi Baru (DEB) diperkenalkan untuk
membasmi kemiskinan dan merapatkan jurang pendapatan rakyat. Tetapi perkara ini
terhakis apabila ekonomi Malaysia memuncak pada zaman 90an. Namun hari ini
kerajaan di bawah pimpinan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak telah
memulakan inisisatif untuk mengadakan pelbagai usaha transformasi ekonomi melalu
Model Ekonomi Baru (MEB) , Program Transformasi Ekonomi (ETP) yang bagus. Datuk
Najib telah mensasarkan Malaysia untuk menjadi sebuah negara berpendapatan
tinggi pada tahun 2020.Bagi penulis, sudah ada usaha-usaha untuk
mentransformasikan demokrasi negara. Syabas!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Pemikiran Politik Islam&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Seperti yang sudah sedia maklum, Malaysia merupakan sebuah negara
Islam.Maka untuk mengalami evolusi demokrasi, Malaysia perlu mengadaptasi
sebahagian daripada pemikiran politk Islam.Menurut sistem politik Islam, negara
perlu ditadbir berdasarkan “rule of law”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 200%; margin-left: 36pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Madinah merupakan negara Islam yang mengamalkan
prinsip ini.Kaedah-kaedah perundangan dan pentadbiran yang terdapat di dalam
Al-Quran dan sunah diberikan suatu kuasa yang lebih tinggi kekuasaannya
daripada setiap negara di dunia.Oleh itu menjadi kewajipan bagi setiap individu
dan badan-badan rasmi di negara Islam untuk mematuhinya.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 200%; margin-left: 36pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Perlaksanaan pemikiran politik Islam ini ternyata berkesan apabila kejayaan
negara-negara Islam terdahulu seperti Mesir Purba, Parsi, dan Empayar
Romawi.Oleh sebab itu apabila sistem politik Islam yang berdasarkan rule of law
dipraktikkan, ia merupakan suatu langkah terkehadapan dalam pembentukan konsep
moden “negara”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Berdasarkan

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Pada
pandangan peribadi penulis, konsep pemikiran negara Islam tidak dapat untuk
dilaksanakan seratus-peratus kerana Malaysia merupakan negara yang berbilang
kaum yang tinggi nilai keagamaan dan kaumnya.Maka penulis cadangkan bahawa
adaptasi sebahagian garis panduan dalam konsep negara Islam ini untuk
digunapakai di Malaysia.Bukan untuk menyatakan bahawa Malaysia tidak lansung
mengamalkan pemikiran Islam dalam pentadbiran.Sudah banyak dasar-dasar
pembangunan Islam di Malaysia seperti Pusat Zakat, Tabung Haji, dan badan-badan
lain untuk kepentingan Islam dibangunkan di Malaysia.Cuma, mungkin penerapan
pemikiran Islam ini dapat membaiki nilai-nilai aktor-aktor politik dan
sekaligus meberikan evolusi demokrasi di Malaysia.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Amat sukar
untuk mentafsirkan tentang sesebuah negara yang mengamalkan system demokrasi
kalau berpandukan kepada teori-teori yang telah dibuat oleh ahli-ahli falsafah
Barat.Terdapat beberapa ciri yang tidak sesuai untuk diamalkan atau
dilaksanakan dalam sesebuah negara.Oleh itu, pengubahsuaian dilakukan
terhadapbeberapa ciri yang digariskan pada asalnya. Ini terpaksa dilakukan oleh
pemimpin di sesebuah negara untuk menjamin pengekalan sistem demokrasi itu
sendiri kerana beberapa masalah yang timbul sama ada dari segi taraf hidup
rakyat dan juga keadaan yang telah sedia wujud. Terdapat juga sesetengah teori
yang digariskan itu hanya merupakan satu teori semata-mata dan tidak boleh
dicapai dalam keadaan yang realistic atau nyata.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

negara Malaysia, se&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;benarnya pengubahsuaian sistem demokrasi itu telah dibuat
dengan adaptasi demokrasi berpelembagaan yang mana mengiktiraf institusi
raja-raja yang sudah wujud sejak sekian lama.Namun dalam konteks sekarang,
beberapa pembaharuan perlu dibuat lagi untuk memastika survival demokrasi di
Malaysia. Berdasarkan tujuh peringkat nilai yang perlu dicapai untuk
menghasilkan demokrasi matang, penulis percaya yang ada pengamal demokrasi di
Malaysia yang mula sedar tentang perkara ini maka wujudlah istilah ‘politik
baru’ dan sebagainya. Penulis fikir Malaysia sebenarnya sudah di atas landasan
yang betul untuk revolusi demokrasi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

penulis ulangi bahawa Malaysia merupakan sebuah negara yang sangat kompleks
yang mempunyai kepelbagaian kaum dan juga sensitiviti agama Islam yang sangat
tinggi. Maka melalu kajian dan pemerhatian penulis, amat wajar untuk menilai
semula ideologi politik demokrasi sosial dan pemikiran politik Islam untuk
diadaptasi sebahagiannaya di dalam sistem demokrasi Malaysia&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Untuk
mewujudkan sebuah negara yang mengamalkan atau dikatakan sebagai sebuah negara
demokrasi yang mutlak merupakan satu perkara yang mustahil.Ini kerana dalam
pembentukan sebuah negara yang sedemikian memerlukan sebuah keadaan yang tidak berlaku
penyalahgunaaan kuasa dan sikap tanggungjawab terhadap beban yang
dipertanggungjawabkan.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Pada
keseluruhannya, demokrasi pada masa ini hanya terletak pada pilihanraya yang
diadakan an rakyat terlibat dalam menentukan pemerintahan. Faktor pilihanraya
telah dijadikan sebagai lambing yang membuktikan sesebuah negara itu
mengamalkan sistem pemerintahan&amp;nbsp;
demokrasi walaupun pada hakikatnya tidak. Terdapat juga sistem
pemerintahan lain seperti komunis yang mengadakan pilihanraya semata-mata untuk
mengaburi &amp;nbsp;mata rakyat. Ironinya,
partisipasi politik rakyat di negara-negara komunis ketika membuang undi jauh
lebih tinggin dari negara-negara demokrasi.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

demokrasi tetap merupakan sistem pemerintahan yang terbaik dan masih
mengekalkan hak-hak yang sama bagi setiap individu jika dibandingkan dengan
sistem pemerintahan yang lain. Oleh itu pengekalan sistem ini adalah perlu untuk
menjamin kejayaan sama ada di pihak pemerintah atau pihak yang diperintah.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Pengorbanan Abadi&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Pengorbanan itu suatu penyeksaan&lt;div&gt;
Digendong patah pinggang, dijinjing putus lengan&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Namun jika nusa bangsaku menjadi taruhan,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Biar pinggang patah dipijak-pijak,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Biar lengan putus dihancur peledak,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Demi tanah air aku tak akan berganjak.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Demi bangsaku jiwaku takkan retak.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Pengorbanan itu suatu penghormatan&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Dijunjung bak titah baginda sultan&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Ditatang bak gadis Melayu menjaga perawan&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Tugas kepada tanah air ini akan selalu kupikul gah&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Umpama taat setia seorang Hulubalang Hang Tuah&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Umpama Tok Janggut yang menentang dasar penjajah&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Demi alif ba ta! ;agama, bangsa dan tanah air bertuah&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Pengorbanan itu suatu kewajipan&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Atas nama tuhan yang esa aku laksanakan&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Pangkat, pengaruh dan kuasa ini bukan untuk aku simpan&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Tapi untuk disempurnakan atas dasar iman&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Aku mahu lihat anak bangsaku menjadi terbilang&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Kerna aku sudah puas melihat bangsaku sendiri dirundum malang.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Demi Allah! Akan ku angkat bangsaku ke pentas cemerlang.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Pengorbanananku ini pengorbanan abadi.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Biarpun bukan bermandi darah,&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0898438); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969);&quot;&gt;menyabung nyawa, bermimpi mati.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Keringatku akan terus ku curah setulus hati&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Agar kedaulatan negara se-gah nama pertiwi.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Hari ini, kita semua pahlawan,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Khidmat pada negara jangan sekali kita lupakan,&lt;/div&gt;

Moga terus kekal abadinya pengorbanan.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;“The great civilization of the past did not have democracies. And yet they became great. It is not necessary that the system will work for everybody. But if we have a bad leader, even a democratic system would fail. We must remember that it was a democratic country that dropped atom bombs killing 200 thousand people” –Mahathir Mohamed-&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;Sewaktu hadir sebagai panel dalam rancangan bual bicara HardTALK pada tahun 2008 di tengah kota raya London, bekas Perdana Menteri, Tun Mahathir Mohamed menjawab soalan-soalan dengan cukup bersahaja oleh &amp;nbsp;Stephen Sackur walaupun gaya pengajuan soalan di dalam rancangan itu cukup agresif. Walaupun ini bukan kenyataan rasmi, namun secara jelas, beliau berpendapat bahawa sistem demokrasi bukanlah sistem amalan pemerintahan yang terbaik untuk sesebuah negara. Saya sendiri secara peribadi bersetuju dengan pandangan negarawan ini. Namun, saya pasti ribuan masyarakat dunia dan rakyat Malaysia khasnya masih memilih demokrasi sebagai saluran terbaik sebagai medium untuk suara mereka didengari. Itu semua adalah pendapat masing-masing yang kita semua perlu hormati. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;Malaysia adalah antara negara yang mengamalkan sistem demokrasi. Banyak definisi tentang demokrasi yang boleh kita angkat dalam perbincangan ini. Namun secara umum, demokrasi adalah suatu bentuk pemerintahan politik yang kekuasaan pemerintahannya berasal dari rakyat, baik secara langsung (demokrasi langsung) atau melalui perwakilan (demokrasi perwakilan). Semua sedia maklum bahawa rakyat adalah kata kunci utama dalam perlaksanaan sistem demokrasi. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;Ini bermakna, secara umum, segala bentuk menyekat, membantah dan menidakkan kemahuan dan kehendak rakyat oleh kerajaan yang melaksanakan sistem demokrasi dianggap zalim. Perkataan ‘kerajaan zalim’ dan ‘kerajaan tipu rakyat’ inilah yang sering dimainkan oleh pakatan pembangkang atas nama demokrasi. Mereka mengangkat suara rakyat dan konsep demokrasi itu seperti sebuah sistem permerintahan yang teragung. Mereka sedar kelebihan yang mereka boleh gunapakai di dalam sistem demokrasi negara untuk menyerang polisi dan kepimpinan kerajaan. Namun, kerajaan perlu akur dengan budaya politik lazim ini yang dipraktikkan dalam amalan demokrasi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;Tatkala amalan demokrasi itu diagung-agungkan, pada masa yang sama sebahagian dari mereka (jika masih ada) juga ingin melaksanakan konsep negara Islam. Jelas, konsep negara Islam itu juga telah ditentang oleh rakan-rakan mereka sendiri. Lantas, membuatkan matlamat perjuangan mereka setelah menjadi sebuah pakatan beransur kabur.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;Tatkala juga amalan demokrasi dan suara rakyat itu diangkat, mereka juga menentang bermati-matian Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri (ISA) yang dianggap zalim. Namun mereka lupa, bahawa akta ISA itu lahir dari sistem demokrasi yang mereka sedang guna untuk menyerang kepimpinan kerajaan melalui senjata ‘suara rakyat’. Mereka umpama bencikan ‘anak’ namun sayangkan ‘ibu’ yang melahirkan anak itu. Jika mereka betul menolak ISA, mereka juga perlu menolak sistem demokrasi itu sendiri. Namun saya percaya mereka masih mahukan demokrasi kerana sistem ini jugalah yang sebenarnya membantu mereka untuk memperoleh sokongan rakyat.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;Namun saya setuju jika mereka mengatakan bahawa ISA itu kejam (walaupun saya tidak pernah ditahan dibawah akta itu seperti sebahagian besar mereka yang berjuang menentang ISA). Mungkin pandangan saya hanya berdasarkan pada cakap-cakap orang seperti juga majoriti mereka yang membenci ISA. Bagi saya, ketidakrevenan ISA itu hanya tertakluk kepada kemungkinan bahawa akta itu mudah untuk disalahgunakan oleh sesetengah. Itu sahaja.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;Namun untuk berbicara tentang soal ISA, mungkin ianya sudah lapuk kerana akta “kejam” ini baru digantikan dengan Akta Kesalahan Keselamatan (Langkah-Langkah Khas) 2012. Ia diluluskan oleh Parlimen tanpa sebarang pindaan pada 17 April 2012. Bagi mereka yang menyanjung demokrasi, inilah hasil yang mereka perolehi. Sebuah akta yang digubal bersama di dalam Parlimen dan diluluskan oleh majoriti dewan. Walaupun Ketua Pembangkang, Anwar Ibrahim menyatakan bahawa undang- undang ini lebih teruk dari ISA, kita atau terutamanya penyokong Pakatan Rakyat perlu sedar bahawa Anwar Ibrahim hanya menggunakan senjata demokrasi untuk menagih sokongan rakyat. Walaupun secara jelas, Perdana Menteri, Najib Razak sudah melakukan pelbagai transformasi termasuk memansuhkan akta ISA itu sendiri. Sebagai Ketua Pembangkang yang baik, tidak boleh tidak, Anwar perlu untuk menafikan akta yang baru digubal itu dengan pelbagai cara. Persoalan samada ikhlas atau tidak, hanya diketahui oleh Anwar Ibrahim. Ketua pembangkang kini dalam keadaan tersepit.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;Walaubagaimanapun, Akta Kesalahan Keselamatan (Langkah-Langkah Khas) 2012 ini telah diluluskan oleh Parlimen Malaysia tanpa sebarang pindaan. Bermakna segala bentuk bidasan oleh pihak pembangkang tidak dapat dikeluarkan dengan banyak dalam Parlimen. Segala kenyataan bahawa akta ini lebih teruk dari ISA hanyalah persepsi yang dikeluarkan oleh Anwar Ibrahim yang beliau sendiri adalah bukan seorang pengamal undang-undang. Semua itu hanyalah untuk memastikan beliau kekal relevan sebagai ketua pembangkang yang tugasnya adalah untuk membangkang.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;Kenyataan yang dikeluarkan oleh Pengerusi Gerakan Mansuhkan ISA (GMI), Syed Ibrahim Syed Noh pada 16 April 2012 yang&amp;nbsp; mengatakan bahawa akta ini tidak perlu kerana Parlimen Malaysia telah menambah undang-undang termasuk kesalahan berkaitan keganasan dalam Kanun Keseksaan dan Kanun Tatacara Jenayah pada 2006 pula umpama kehabisan modal dan hujah. Beliau sepatutnya membicarakan tentang aspek-aspek baru dalam rang undang-undang yang baru dibentangkan. &amp;nbsp;Kanun Keseksaan dan Kanun Tatacara Jenayah 2006 pula jauh berbeza dengan akta baru ini kerana ianya tidak ada mekanisme menyekat pengganas. Jika pada masa pengganas sudah berjaya melakukan keganasan dengan mengebom semua peserta perhimpunan GMI pada 2009, ketika itu baru mereka mahukan akta yang menyekat pengganas? Mungkin.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;Empat kesalahan yang dikategorikan sebagai kesalahan keselamatan adalah menyebabkan keganasan keselamatan terancang pada orang awam atau harta, membangkitkan perasaan tidak setia terhadap Yang Dipertuan Agong, memudaratkan ketenteraman awam dan keselamatan serta melakukan perubahan selain dengan cara yang sah.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;Banyak transformasi yang dibuat dalam akta baru ini.Namun bagi saya, apa yang menjadi tumpuan utama tentang akta baru ini yang melegakan semua pihak adalah, ia memberi transformasi lansung pada tuntutan-tuntutan major yang dicadangkan pembangkang iaitu:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 108.0pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -36.0pt;&quot;&gt;1&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 7pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Jaminan bahawa tiada tangkapan boleh dibuat atas dasar politik. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 108.0pt; mso-add-space: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 108.0pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -36.0pt;&quot;&gt;2&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 7pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Tidak meletakkan kuasa seratus-peratus pada menteri yang menjaga hal ehwal dalam negeri.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpLast&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 108.0pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -36.0pt;&quot;&gt;3&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 7pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Fasal lima akta itu pula membenarkan tahanan untuk menghubungi saudara mara untuk memaklumkan penahanan mereka. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpLast&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 108.0pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;Kita lihat pada sejarah tuntutan untuk memansuhkan ISA, ini adalah tuntutan-tuntutan major yang dilakukan oleh pihak pembangkang dan GMI. Mereka juga menuntut untuk mengantikan ISA dengan akta yang lebih baik. Namun, selepas semua tuntutan mereka ini dipenuhi, tuntutan lain pula yang mereka berikan. Pada rakyat, tindakan mereka ini menimbulkan kekeliruan yang membimbangkan.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;Dengan adanya sesetengah pihak yang kini mula mengangkat kembali pihak komunis sebagai pejuang, mungkin payah untuk menyuruh mereka berterima kasih pada akta ISA yang zalim kerana sudah menyelamatkan negara dari banyak ancaman puak komunis pada negara&amp;nbsp; suatu ketika dahulu. Tidak mengapa. Tetapi saya secara peribadi merasakan bahawa, ISA merupakan akta yang terbukti telah berbakti pada negara seperti kata Perdana Menteri;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;“ISA berperanan bagi melindungi cara hidup demokratik di negara tercinta ini. Ironisnya, undang-undang yang dianggap “draconian” ini telah memastikan demokrasi, hak asasi manusia dan “human dignity” dilindungi di Malaysia berbanding alternatif lain jika negara ditadbir oleh sistem kediktatoran komunis.” –NAJIB RAZAK-&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;Hujah-hujah bahawa akta seperti ISA juga diguna pakai di negara-negara maju seperti Amerika Syarikat, (Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri McCarran 1950, USA Patriot Act 2001 dan Homeland Security Act 2002) Australia, (Terrorism Act 2005) dan United Kingdom, (Terrorism Act 2005) mungkin tidak diendahkan oleh penyokong pembangkang. Tapi mereka perlu sedar bahawa akta pencegahan itu perlu ada untuk memastikan kestabilan negara.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;Walaupun saya pada permulaan penulisan ini tidak bersetuju dengan sistem demokrasi secara menyeluruh, namun saya akur bahawa sistem inilah yang diiktiraf diperingkat yang tertinggi oleh kebanyakkan masyarakat antarabangsa. Oleh itu, untuk melaksanakan demokrasi terbaik kita perlu melalui proses yang cukup banyak. Amerika Syarikat yang dipandang sebagai negara demokrasi terbaik dunia juga memerlukan masa ratusan tahun untuk mencapai kepada keupayaan mereka sekarang. Malaysia malah mungkin perlu lebih masa dari itu oleh kerana perbezaan etnik yang cenderung untuk mempertahankan identiti kaum mereka.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;Projek transformasi Perdana Menteri, Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Razak ini juga merupakan contoh proses-proses yang perlu dilalui oleh sebuah negara demokrasi seperti Malaysia. Bagi mereka yang hormat pada perlaksanaan demokrasi, ada juga perlu terima.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;Wednesday, 11th April 2012 was a pretty apprehensive day for most Malaysians, especially those who were in Georgetown and Port Dickson. It was reported by the Indonesia&#39;s Disaster Mitigation Agency that a 6.5 magnitude earthquake on the Richter scale following an 8.7 magnitude temblor off the coast of the country&#39;s Aceh province, triggering a tsunami watch for the whole Indian Ocean. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;Yes! It was Tsunami. Exactly like what happened on Boxing Day 2004, eight years ago. And Malaysians, (which are now more aware of it) went into an awful emotional turmoil. (Judging from the news on The Star, April 2012 – “THOUSANDS of people rushed out frantically from high-rise buildings and various shopping malls in Penang after they felt tremors.”)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;The earthquake did happen in Acheh. However, the Tsunami warning was withdrawn. Thank God. After the massive Tsunami impact on Acheh in 2004 and its consequences to people’s emotion around the world, we are now more aware of this breed of natural disaster.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;But my writing here is not about the Tsunami....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;I was sitting with a friend at McDonalds Greenlane Penang, when the Tsunami warning was spread through phone texts, BBM, Facebook and Twitter. My friend and I were having a really fun and intense debate about the political situation in Malaysia. But the fun was disrupted by those messages coming from our Blackberrys. If you were aware enough, those texts and messages were not even quoted from a valid source. But our concerned Malaysians were still spreading out the information. Luckily, the news turned out to be true. Thank you people!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;However, I was wondering. WHAT IF the information spread was untrue and it was meant to create a chaos and divert our attention from something bigger and more dangerous than that. Let’s say, a terrorist attack or bombing in the middle of Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya or Istana Negara? Worst case scenario; maybe an attack to re-conquer Malaysia and put all of us into a state of affairs like in Iraq of Afghanistan?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;A scary delineation to imagine isn’t it....?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;If you ever read a great book about war strategy from ancient Chinese military treatise that is attributed to Sun Tzu, “The Art of War”, you will find that among the 13 chapters in it, there is a topic about ‘Weak Points and Strong/Illusion and Reality’. It specifically explains how an army&#39;s opportunities come from the openings in the environment caused by the relative weakness of the enemy in a given area. Weakness will always appear when the attention is not directed to the actual area.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;Now, let’s talk about the real jeez of this article. Let me put this in a concept of our political ‘war’ in Malaysia. This is what I really think what is happening. Any arguments are based only on my personal opinions. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;To look into our current political atmosphere, I make it easy by labelling the Malaysian political war right now is between the Najib Razak’s Team and Anwar Ibrahim’s Team. Simple enough? Now, Najib has his own ‘army’ and so does Anwar Ibrahim. We start first with Anwar Ibrahim’s team which at this very moment, the most prominent figure in Pakatan Rakyat who has already successfully attacked the government until the ship nearly “sink” is Anwar Ibrahim himself. (V.K Linggam, Altantuya, ect). But now, Pakatan Rakyat has a ‘new boy in town’; Rafizi Ramli. One can’t deny how good this “wonder boy” led his team to attack and kill Datuk Seri Sharizat Jalil’s character with the National Feedlot Corporation (NFC) scandal. He may have killed Shahrizat’s political career as well! You have to agree with me that to get the Prime Minister himself to replace Shahrizat and lead the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development is not a simple task. A complete inside information and a good strategy were needed. I would say, in Pakatan Rakyat, there are now two generals of war; Anwar Ibrahim, and Rafizi Ramli. For the Najib’s Team, they should not just concentrate at Anwar Ibrahim but they have to put more attention to Rafizi Ramli as well. A divert of attention may be played by Anwar Ibrahim’s Team at this very moment. Why? I will discuss further on that.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;We go back on the story about Tsunami warning I said earlier. The warning was spread so fast without any quoted sources and it has caused a chaos all over Malaysia. Think about my assumption on ‘what if’ it was just a diversion? &amp;nbsp;Now look at our current political wave right now. A so called ‘Tsunami warning’ has been initiated by Anwar Ibrahim’s Team too. The whole country is in ‘pandemonium’ with various issues. Obviously, all these issues are targeted to the young voters. The issues are:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 7pt; text-indent: -18pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ol style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-indent: -18pt;&quot;&gt;The six-point demands on academic freedom by Solidariti Mahasiwa Malaysia (SMM).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-indent: -18pt;&quot;&gt;PTPTN abolishment proposal by Anwar Ibrahim (now has been taken over by Rafizi Ramli)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-indent: -18pt;&quot;&gt;Street demonstration to abolish PTPTN by students on 14&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup style=&quot;text-indent: -18pt;&quot;&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-indent: -18pt;&quot;&gt; April 2012&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-indent: -18pt;&quot;&gt;Bersih 3.0 Bersih – Sit-In/Duduk Bantah! on 28&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup style=&quot;text-indent: -18pt;&quot;&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-indent: -18pt;&quot;&gt; April 2012&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;These four major issues have been given a lot of attention by the Barisan Nasional (BN) leaders, societies and the country as a whole. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;So, the UMNO Youth has just finished their student’s roundtable discussion about PTPTN. One of the things agreed during the discussion is to abolish PTPTN’s service charge. Good counteraction. Well done! (Although BN has ONLY been in a very good defensive position all this while).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;BN is also in a “very good” defensive position on issues like academic freedom and Bersih. Explanations were given to answer the issues. It’s a must thing to do by them in order to stay relevant to the people.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Now, I want to focus more on PTPTN and let’s talk about this PTPTN abolishment idea by Anwar Ibrahim. If I were him, I would have known that this issue will definitely be exposed to thousands of questions. (e.g.: What is the new mechanism proposed by Pakatan Rakyat? Wasn’t Anwar Ibrahim was in power to stop the initiation of PTPTN in 1996? Will it cost the people other things in order to give free education?) And the most important thing Anwar should consider is; this manifesto will probably make him as a person who just wants to win the next election! I am confident that whether or not the free education can be given is a question played even in Pakatan Rakyat’s supporters mind! If Anwar Ibrahim blew this one off, even his supporters will question him. Until today, there is still no acceptable mechanism given to replace PTPTN. Even the explanations given in Rafizi Ramli’s blog dated 11&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; April 2012 were still arguable by some people.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;PTPTN abolishment was not in the Pakatan Rakyat’s Buku Jingga. For me, this idea is a very abrupt one. If Anwar Ibrahim was really ready about suggesting the PTPTN abolishment, he would be able to give the facts and figures on how to do that straight away. But the “answers” came only after almost two months in Rafizi’s blog. Only after the question of ‘HOW’ by a lot of people. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;For me, I strongly believe that this is just a game of diversion by Anwar Ibrahim...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;So what is the real deal here? Let’s go back to the history not so long time ago; General Election March 2008. One of the reasons why the people voted for Pakatan Rakyat was because the character portrayed by the former Prime Minister, Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi wasn’t the best example for a leader of a country should has. It may be true. But I would say that the Pakatan Rakyat played a very good role in that and they have successfully killed the character and the good image of Abdullah Badawi. We look at the global revolution nowadays; Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Indonesia. President Hosni Mobarak was pressured by his own people because of his cruel character. President Suharto was toppled because of his dictatorship. The same thing happened to Muammar Ghadaffi and Ben Ali. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;Think again, these leaders and their government are ‘dead’ now NOT because of the poor policies made by them. But it was because the dissatisfaction of the people on the character and image played by their leaders. &amp;nbsp;If what I say now isn’t true, do you think Suharto, Ghadaffi and Hosni Mubarak can lead the country for so long because of their bad government policies? I don’t think so.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;This is also what Anwar Ibrahim and his team is trying to do now. The PTPTN, Bersih, and academic freedom issues are just a diversion. He has a bigger mission; to kill the image of some BN leaders. Mission target area? Sabah and Sarawak.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;They have started it with the fall of Shahrizat Jalil. Who is their next target? Now the ‘second commander’ of Pakatan Rakyat, Rafizi Ramli is attacking the Foreign Minister, Tan Sri Anifah Aman and his brother, Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman on the RM400m timber scandal. For me, this is way more interesting than the NFC scandal. If they are able to attack this on the right spot, Sabah will be ruled by Pakatan Rakyat after the election. The Aman brothers are two of the most prominent leaders in Sabah. Distrust on them will be distrust to the Barisan Nasional.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;Sabah and Sarawak has 31 and 25 seats accordingly in the Parliament. Combination of those states will be one-fourth or 25% of the whole seats in the Parliament. 25% is already a big figure. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;Yes, for me, the Pakatan Rakyat’s real deal is Sabah and Sarawak. And Barisan Nasional leaders are now “happily” fighting and answering PTPTN and Bersih issues which for me, they are all just a diversion. Oh well....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;I believe that this “character-killing” mission will continue on one leader after another. And it will be done at a very last minute before the general election. At that time, the BN has no time left to save their ‘crew’. As I said, Pakatan Rakyat will influence the voters just by using the bad characters of BN leaders. Not by the weak government policies like PTPTN or what so ever. I never say what was accused to Sharizat, Musa Aman, and Anifah Aman is true. But if they are able to influence the majority of the people, it’s a victory for Pakatan Rakyat!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;Like the 11&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; April Tsunami warnings I said in the beginning, these are all the questions of ‘what if’. This is just my personal observation and opinion. It may not be true. But according to the logic I gave, some of you might agree with me. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;Let us hope for a better Malaysia. It’s either to change or to transform. You choose.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Kempen manifestonya memperoleh kutipan dana sokongan paling tinggi oleh rakyat Amerika Syarikat. Kehebatan gabungan karisma individu, kempen manifesto berkesan dan mainan &#39;smart politics&#39; yang ditampilkan oleh Romney ternyata membuahkan hasil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Menurut Jim Tankersley, koresponden ekonomi untuk Majalah The National Journal yang menulis, &#39;Smart Politics vs. Sound Economics: The Battle for Mitt Romney&#39;s Soul&#39; menyatakan bahawa &#39;smart politics&#39; yang dimainkan oleh Romney adalah apabila beliau mempamerkan personaliti sebagai seorang yang selalu duduk semeja dengan golongan yang mempunyai idea dan boleh mentransformasikan idea-idea itu kepada perubahan sebenar untuk masa depan Amerika Syarikat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Romsey juga telah menggariskan 59 teras pelan ekonomi tetapi pada masa yang sama bercanggah dengan polisi kewangan dan perumahan yang dicadangkan oleh dua penasihat ekonomi beliau sendiri iaitu Glenn Hubbard, Dekan Fakulti dari Columbia University dan N. Gregory Mankiw, professor dari Harvard University. Namun setelah mengambil kira segala prinsip dan teori ekonomi semua cendekiawan, Romney meneruskan juga prinsip ekonomi yang beliau gariskan kerana percaya akan keberkesanannya pada masa depan ekonomi Amerika Syarikat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mari kita lihat pula pada gelagat dan pemikiran rata-rata politikus yang kita ada di Malaysia. Penulis ingin gambarkan bahawa aktor-aktor politik di negara kita hari ini, setiap kali adanya lontaran idea dan kemudian wujud pula ketidaksefahaman, maka perdebatan kemudiannya akan berkisar tentang bagaimana buruknya cerita peribadi mereka yang berdebat. Masyarakat yang pada mulanya berminat untuk melihat  idea-idea bernas yang mungkin boleh merubah masa depan negara, akhirnya kecewa kerana terlalu banyak cerita cercaan peribadi. Inilah realiti politik di Malaysia yang asyik tertumpu kepada peperangan antara individu, bukan perbincangan kepada perbezaan idealisme yang mungkin boleh mencapai kata sepakat untuk membantu membangunkan negara. Perlu diingat, masalah ini jelas menjadi kurap yang merebak baik di parti yang memerintah, mahupun parti yang membangkang. Kedua-duanya sama sahaja. Hari ini, politik tohmahan, dan politik kebencian itu menjadi rutin biasa ahli-ahli yang berhormat, baik di medan parlimen, ataupuan ketika kempen ceramah pilihanraya. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kedua, ahli-ahli politik di Malaysia, majoritinya terlalu jumud dengan pendirian dan ideologi pemimpin-pemimpin dan kawan-kawan mereka yang mereka anggap &#39;rakan seperjuangan&#39;. Akhirnya, konsep &#39;yes bos&#39; yang diwarisi sejak turun temurun masih kekal lagi di negara kita. Penulis tidak mengatakan bahawa mereka perlu untuk menjadi pemberontak di dalam parti yang mereka percaya asas perjuangannya. Mereka cuma perlu ada pendirian mereka sendiri tentang sesuatu perkara. Negarawan terbilang negara, Tun Dr Mahathir bukan seorang yang mengamalkan konsep &#39;yes bos&#39; apabila beliau mengkritik hebat kepimpinan Tunku Abdul Rahman sehingga menyebabkan beliau dipecat dari UMNO. Walaupun dipecat, beliau masih percaya dengan perjuangan asas parti. Akhirnya beliau kembali dan menjadi antara Perdana Menteri dan tokoh yang paling disegani masyarakat dunia. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hari ini, mungkin ada juga ahli-ahli parlimen kita yang mengkritik kepimpinan parti, tapi tindakan yang diambil kemudiannya adalah dengan meninggalkan terus parti yang diwakili. Seolah-olah prinsip perjuangan asas parti yang mereka pegang terlalu goyah dan mereka dilihat kecewa dengan parti mereka. Yang menjadi mangsa, adalah rakyat yang terpingga-pingga di dalam dilemma samada untuk menyokong perjuangan parti ataupun individu yang mereka telah undi untuk menjadi suara mereka. Saya menghormati mekanisme perjuangan YB Khairy Jamaluddin dan YB Dato&#39; Saifuddin Abdullah yang hari ini mungkin serba sedikit menyokong perkara-perkara yang bercanggah dengan pendirian parti, namun apa yang penting, mereka terus setia dengan parti yang mereka wakili.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maka inilah sebenarnya antara kurap-kurap permasalahan yang terus menghantui gerabak politik negara kita. Tidak kira di pihak pemerintah ataupun pembangkang. Pemimpin-pemimpin politik negara perlu sedar yang kami, golongan muda sebenarnya sudah muak dengan percaturan politik murahan yang dimainkan mereka. Penulis adalah salah seorang daripada generasi baru yang inginkan pembaharuan bukan sahaja dari segi mekanisme pembangunan negara, tapi juga corak amalan politik negara yang penulis anggap menjijikkan. Mengambil petikan artikel salah seorang sahabat, Rizal Abdul Rahman, seorang pelajar jurusan perubatan di salah sebuah universiti di Indonesia yang menyatakan nada yang sama melalui tulisan beliau,&#39;Politik Kebencian: Hancur Masa Depan Negara&#39;. Saudara Rizal menyebut, &quot;Politik kebencian akan melalaikan perjuangan, melambatkan pertumbuhan, menjadi risiko kepada rusuhan seterusnya memusnahkan semua yang tercapai. Mungkin secara peribadi ia menguntungkan, hakikatnya secara keseluruhan ia mampu merosakkan Malaysia.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Suara anak-anak muda seperti kami inilah yang perlu didengar oleh semua pihak. Bukannya anak-anak muda yang menyalurkan suara mereka melalui demonstrasi dan tunjuk perasaan di jalanan yang penulis kira hanya mewarisi amalan politik emosi yang sedia ada dan sebenarnya tidak membawa kita kemana-mana. Akhirnya, masa depan politik negara kita hanya akan bertukar rupa pemimpin, tapi corak permainannya masih sama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Debat Rafizi Ramli (Pengarah Strategik PKR, Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Pejabat Penasihat Ekonomi Selangor) dan YB Khairy Jamaluddin – (Ahli Parlimen Rembau, Ketua Pemuda UMNO) baru-baru ini di United Kingdom merupakan satu contoh politik generasi muda yang ingin kami lihat. Harapan yang cukup tinggi penulis letakkan agar perdebatan dua &#39;singa&#39; muda ini menjadi pelopor kepada &#39;politik baru&#39; yang akan dimainkan oleh generasi muda dan seteruskan menjadi amalan yang perlu dikekalkan pada masa hadapan. Kami sebagai orang muda mempunyai semangat dan tenaga yang cukup tinggi. Itu kelebihan kami. Tapi alangkah molek sekiranya politik anak muda juga berlandaskan ilmu, bukan semangat semata-mata. Perlu diingat, politik adalah khidmat, bukan alat untuk kesenangan diri. Suka juga untuk penulis menyebut bahawa politik itu &#39;taklif&#39;(tanggugjawab) dan bukannya &#39;tasrif&#39; (glamour yang gemerlap).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unsur-unsur &#39;smart politics&#39; inilah yang harus diberikan perhatian sebagaimana Mitt Romsey menunjukkan unsur-unsur keintelektualan dan mentaliti yang tinggi dalam mempamerkan diri beliau pada rakyat. Pendekatan beliau yang tidak dilihat terlalu jumud dalam sesuatu perkara memberikan beliau kelebihan sokongan padanya. Alhamdulillah, &#39;smart politics&#39; ini jugalah yang ditunjukkan oleh debat Khairy-Rafizi dan InsyaAllah akan menjadi ikutan oleh keseluruhan anak muda yang benar-benar inginkan perubahan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kita kaji dan selidik dari sumber apa sekalipun, kerajaan agung Melaka itu musnah bukan disebabkan oleh kemalasan atau kekurangan sumber dan kedaifan persekitaran. Tapi disebabkan sikap sombong, bongkak dan amalan perpecahan pembesar-pembesar Melaka ketika itu. Hari ini, perkara yang sama berulang kembali.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Semoga amalan poltik Malaysia akan berubah.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;Ghadaffi abused the basic right a human deserve in Libya, but he&#39;s not all that bad and incompetent. Now let us get to the unknown facts about the Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. There is no electricity bill in Libya; electricity is free for all its citizens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. There is no interest on loans, banks in Libya are state-owned and loans given to all its citizens at 0% interest by law.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;text_exposed_show&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
3. Home considered a human right in Libya – Gaddafi vowed that his parents would not get a house until everyone in Libya had a home. Gaddafi’s father has died while him, his wife and his mother are still living in a tent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. All newlyweds in Libya receive $60,000 Dinar (US$50,000) by the government to buy their first apartment so to help start up the family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Education and medical treatments are free in Libya. Before Gaddafi only 25% of Libyans are literate. Today the figure is 83%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. Should Libyans want to take up farming career, they would receive farming land, a farming house, equipments, seeds and livestock to kick-start their farms – all for free.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. If Libyans cannot find the education or medical facilities they need in Libya, the government funds them to go abroad for it – not only free but they get US$2,300/mth accommodation and car allowance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. In Libyan, if a Libyan buys a car, the government subsidized 50% of the price.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9. The price of petrol in Libya is $0.14 per liter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10. Libya has no external debt and its reserves amount to $150 billion – now frozen globally.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11. If a Libyan is unable to get employment after graduation the state would pay the average salary of the profession as if he or she is employed until employment is found.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12. A portion of Libyan oil sale is, credited directly to the bank accounts of all Libyan citizens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13. A mother who gave birth to a child receive US$5,000&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14. 40 loaves of bread in Libya costs $ 0.15&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15. 25% of Libyans have a university degree&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16. Gaddafi carried out the world’s largest irrigation project, known as the Great Man-Made River project, to make water readily available throughout the desert country.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%; text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;Malaysia has been a successful developing country and is forging ahead to become a developed nation in its own mould. In order to be more successful, our nation has to be managed effectively and its weaknesses and shortcomings have to be overcome. A major challenge it has to address in this endeavour is the strengthening the unity of different culture in Malaysia.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%; text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;The process of ‘nation building’ in Malaysia was unique and filled with variety of concepts. The important principals to be considered when analyzing Malaysian nation character building are the relation and mixture of social, culture; heritage, tradition and religion between the major races in Malaysia. They have a significant effect in the political system and administration and are reflected in the nations’ ideology, Rukun Negara. According on what have outlined in Rukun Negara, the essence of unity and concept of moral were told to the people in every aspect; God, leader of the country, federal constitution, rule of law and also morality. All these essences were believed to unite the people so we can have a solid foundation to construct the country. These essences of unity will be reminded to the people over the time. 1 Malaysia concept for instance, it may use different approach, but the essence is still the same; unity.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%; text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;As the problems of unity were overcome by the strength of our own local wisdom, Malaysia at this time has vision to become a well developed country by the year 2020. This vision, started by the former Prime Minister, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamed has reached its development path. Vision 2020 is impossible without economic, social and government transformation. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.45pt;&quot;&gt;This paper outlines the main elements of our local wisdom which shaped what Malaysia is today. Starting from Rukun Negara and New Economic Policy (NEP), and now the new proposed New Economic Model (NEM) which to be considered as the key element to drive Malaysia to an inclusive high income economy. This is in line with the country’s vision to be a well developed country in the year 2020. The NEM also portrays the Malaysia’s local wisdom in enhancing the economic atmosphere for the people in the future. As for Rukun Negara which gave the Malaysians a strong belief to be united as a nation, New Economic Policy (NEP) which distributed the wealth of the country to all races, so now it’s time for Malaysia to create high income jobs with inclusiveness of all people. ‘Inclusiveness’ is a continued principals used in both Rukun Negara and also New Economic Policy (NEP). This is not the end of the journey, just a signpost to the beginning. The way ahead, however, is clear and Malaysia will lose its way if urgent action is not taken.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%; text-indent: 36.0pt;&quot;&gt;The current past and Malaysia leaders have obviously used the ‘Big Push Theory’ which stressed on the development economics or welfare economics. The big push of the Rukun Negara, NEP and NEM are required to enhance the momentum for change to be a well developed nation in the year 2020. These efforts in a way portray the government’s commitment in giving a clearer vision to be a developed country. Malaysia would then have an economy capable of sustaining high income growth, of delivering improvements in the lives of all Malaysians, and of providing a sustainable environment for all our futures.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mynikhussein.blogspot.com/feeds/7042632588113017616/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/6865311617797870111/7042632588113017616' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6865311617797870111/posts/default/7042632588113017616'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6865311617797870111/posts/default/7042632588113017616'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mynikhussein.blogspot.com/2011/10/discussion-part-imtgt-medan-2011.html' title='Discussion Part: IMTGT-Medan 2011'/><author><name>N.M Hussein</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14408476337523408805</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2XPDq-UXK6u3Bii_N2xSc1Bx6rCvy_5mm_OcaQOHkSmyYCTbUqEnwPKTBL7uYEP1MmxdHwx9ZGZNz6C2nG2nlB7MFnCQSynx3926M5umcI3mFv8ZXmAphZ6lwe2YdNzQ/s220/P1040711.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6865311617797870111.post-8938653339408185617</id><published>2011-10-01T00:32:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-01T00:32:34.022-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Evolusi negara Arab: Raja-raja terancam?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Saya pernah terbaca tulisan ini dalam:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://aliasmohdyusof.blogspot.com/2011/08/pemimpin-autokratik-dan-diktator-arab.html&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Persoalannya adalah dimana revolusi untuk menjatuhkan pemimpin ditaktor di negara-negara timur tengah menular dengan hebat namun tidak pada raja-raja yang menaungi sesetengah negara Arab.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tidak saya nafikan, raja-raja Arab juga mungkin dan pernah mengambil kesempatan dari kedudukan dan status mereka. Perkara ini mungkin boleh dianggap &#39;masalah sosial&#39; pada hari ini iaitu mana-mana pemimpin yang berkuasa akan cenderung menyalahgunakan walau sedikit kuasa mereka untuk kepentingan diri sendiri. Itu semua adalah soal akhlak yang boleh diperdebatkan di topik yang lain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Namun, jika diperinci, jika adapun penyelewengan berlaku, raja-raja Arab ini tidaklah seteruk Hosni Mobarak yang semasa memegang jawatan Presiden Mesir selama 30 tahun, beliau telah menangkap, memenjara dan membunuh para penentangnya yang kebanyaknya daripada pergerakan Islam yang diketuai oleh Ikhwan Muslimin. Ataupun seperti Muammar Gaddafi yang sehingga dikenakan waran tangkap oleh makhamah jenayah dunia atas bermacam-macam jenayah global dan jenayah menentang kemanusiaan yang dilakukan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pemimpin diktaktor seperti ini wajib dan patut digulingkan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tetapi jika kita berbincang tentang raja-raja Arab, isu mahu atau tidak mahu menggulingkan mereka ini buka semata-mata berkisar disebabkan oleh aktiviti berfoya-foya keluarga atau saudara mara mereka, kecenderungan untuk memegang tampuk pemerintahan yang lama ataupun hanya kerana mereka adalah keluarga diraja. Kalau dilihat dalam konteks yang lebih luas, sistem beraja tidak lansung mempengaruhi ketidakadilan ataupun ketidakstabilan sesebuah negara. Kehebatan pemerintahan sesebuah keluarga diraja atau pembesar telah terbukti dalam sejarah. Sebagai contoh King Ferdinand dan Queen Isabella di Sepanyol yang sehingga hari ini diingati atas dasar penyatuan Eropah mereka atau Gengkhis Khan dan Amir Timur, wira Mongolia yang diiktiraf kehebatan mereka sebagai keluarga diraja dan juga pemimpin. Contoh terdekat yang mungkin boleh diambil adalah bagaimana Parameswara sultan pertama Melaka sehinggalah ke Sultan Mansor membangunkan Melaka sebagai hub perdagangan paling penting di semenanjung Melayu ketika itu. Mereka semua adalah keluarga diraja. Terbukti mereka juga hebat dalam selok belok pemerintahan. Kemerosotan sesebuah negara di dalam sistem beraja disebabkan oleh soal individu. Bukan kelemahan sistem beraja itu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ketiga, artikel di atas ada menyebut tentang persepsi masyarakat yang berada dalam sistem feudal yang menganggap raja adalah wakil tuhan dan sebagainya. Maka jika menentang raja dianggap berdosa. &amp;nbsp;Saya tak menafikan adanya teori ini terutamanya semenjak zaman Yunani atau Greek lagi. Namun dalam konteks hari ini, terutamanya di negara-negara Asia Barat yang majoritinya beragama Islam, anggapan raja sebagai Tuhan dan sebagainya itu tidak menjadi isu atau penyebab utama kenapa tiadanya tentangan terhadap raja mereka. Saya yakin dan percaya yang orang Islam di Asia Barat masih berpegang teguh dengan kepercayaan Allah adalah tuhan yang satu dan bukannya raja mereka. Maka jika selagi tiada kezaliman dan pemesongan akidah Islam yang dilakukan, penentangan pada raja mereka mungkin dirasakan tidak perlu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Namun mungkin apa yang menjadi kekesalan saya adalah, raja-raja Arab ini, walaupun dengan kuasa dan kedudukan yang mereka ada, tidak lansung memperjuangkan tentang nasib kebanyakan negara-negara Arab yang ditindas. Raja Arab Saudi misalnya mempunyai hubungan yang cukup rapat dengan Amerika Syarikat. Maka saya sama sekali tidak menolak kemungkinan yang pada masa hadapan raja-raja ini juga mungkin akan digulingkan juga oleh rakyat mereka sendiri.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Atau, rentetan penggulingan diktator-diktator yang terjadi mungkin telah membuatkan raja-raja ini sudah &#39;kecut perut&#39; untuk terus mengaut keuntungan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;*This entry is just a reflection of my own opinion based on my personal observation. There might be some arguments. Thank you.*&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #333333; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Economy was always my field of interest. I wanted to know more about how people deal with scarcity and distribute resources in the best way they could. THAT WAS WHAT EXCITES ME. Learning about economic theories and the impact of its application to the society is fun. WAS fun!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #333333; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #333333; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Well, most of the theories have been applied successfully to the countries which need growth.&amp;nbsp; Today, the theories are like a &#39;formula&#39; that have to be learned by all economic students. Sort of. But I do believe that these theories need to be improvised accordingly. For this reason, I do feel that most of the theories are not relevant to today&#39;s world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #333333; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #333333; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;I came to the extend that I can&#39;t even imagine how some of the theories can be applied today. (I don&#39;t want to list what and what).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #333333; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #333333; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Malaysia came out with the New Economic Model. That was an innovation of some economic theories. It came across my mind that maybe it&#39;s time for some new economic genius to come out with more reliable theories. It might be you, me, anyone!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #333333; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;America in two-three years back had the biggest economic crisis in 80 years, yet most economists we&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;re admittedly&amp;nbsp;clueless about the cause of the crisis.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 10px 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Should economists and policy makers have identified the housing marke&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;t bubble before it burst? The answer is most likely no, be&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;cause economic theory was not up to the challenge.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 10px 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;While optimistic forecasts held by many market participants in 2005 turned out to be inaccurate. Those projections were not “unreasonable” given what was understood about the economy and housing market dynamics in the years before housing prices crashed and helped create one of the worst economic downturns in generations. ..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #333333; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;In other words, they did not understand much about the economy nor the housing market.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Economists were clearly not of one mind about the implications of rising housing prices. Some saw them as consistent with economic fundamentals, and driven by factors like the need for shelter to house a growing population, a favored explanation of central bankers themselves during those years. Others simply punted, offering no view.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Then there were those with negative views, many of whom have been sharply critical of the economics profession, and of policy makers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;The pessimistic case was a distinctly minority view, especially among professional economists. The small number of economists who argued forcefully for a bubble often did so years before the housing market peak, and thus lost a fair amount of credibility” in the process. Others called a bubble with “arguments fundamentally at odds with the data” that became available after the fact.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;The fact that a small number of economists who saw this coming but lost credibility because the peak was still some time away says more about the economics profession than it does about those who saw the crisis coming but were early.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;For the most part, regardless of the view economists held on housing, the science of economics wasn’t really even equipped to deal with the issue. “Academic research available in 2006 was basically inconclusive an&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;d could not convincingly support or refute any hypothesis about the future path of asset prices.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #c00000;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #c00000;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Hey Malaysian politicians,&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
YOU ARE SO BORING.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You bore me to death with all the cliche ideologies of racism from both sides. I have to say, and YOU have to admit, we are all racist. Malays and Bumiputras are fighting to maintain their &#39;hak istimewa&#39; and other races are creeping slowly up on their equality tree since forever. No one is right and no one is wrong. Both sides are right in fighting what they want and both are wrong in condemning each other&#39;s right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;I repeat, we are all RACIST. We just kept it low profile. Just like we did after 13 May tragedy until PRU 2008.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But now, all the coolness explode. Seems like the smile we gave to each other before were&amp;nbsp;officially&amp;nbsp;stamped as FAKE. I do have my own stand &amp;nbsp;in this matter and of course my stand is bias as I am ABU. Go and ask AH CHONG or MUTHUSAMY, and I am sure that they also have their own bias perspective regarding this as they are AH CHONG and MUTHUSAMY.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was born in 1988. 19 years after the tragedy of 13 May 1969. I was sent to sekolah kebangsaan where I learned and played along with my&amp;nbsp;Chinese&amp;nbsp;and Indians friends. During class, we were taught to be friend with everyone and all the examples showed in textbook&amp;nbsp;referred&amp;nbsp;to how &quot;ABU bermain guli bersama AH CHONG dan MUTHUSAMY, Mereka bertiga bersahabat baik. ABU dan AH CHONG suka makan bersama-sama, AH CHONG dan MUTHUSAMY melawat ABU yang sakit dirumah&quot;ect ect..&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You know, all of these qualities and friendship among races are implemented in us in sekolah kebangsaan.( I don&#39;t know how it is in Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan(SJK)). But we did get along well and we had no problem with that. As we grow older, lets say 17 years old( when we learn the form five Malaysian History for SPM). There was maybe the first time we knew the tragedy of 13 May 1969. That is like 36 years after 1969.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;My generation was fresh and clean from all the&amp;nbsp;hatred and racism until now. Thank you to SOME CURRENT politician leaders&amp;nbsp;who spoiled our my mind and their mind with this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I don&#39;t blame you for everything. You, ABU are my hero in fighting for Malay&#39;s right. AH CHONG and MUTHUSAMY, you are&amp;nbsp;their&amp;nbsp;heroes in&amp;nbsp;fighting&amp;nbsp;for my friend&#39;s right.... BUT UNTIL WHEN?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Saya ibaratkan Malaysia umpama rumah kampung yang ada tiga beradik berlainan character dan perangai yang tinggal bersama. Biasalah, rumah kampung, kemudahan kurang maka mereka selalu bergaduh nak mendapatkan yang terbaik untuk diri sendiri. Mereka akan selalu bergaduh tentang perkara-perkara kecil sehingga perasaan benci yang amat sangat timbul antara satu sama lain sehingga besar dan berkhawin dan mempunyai anak masing-masing. Yang menyedihkan, anak-anak mereka diajar untuk membenci sepupu- sepupu mereka dan kebencian itu diwarisi turun temurun sehinggalah satu generasi bertanya, &quot; ayah, mak, kenapa kita semua bergaduh?&quot; Mereka bertanya, kerana hairan mereka bergaduh tanpa mengetahui punca yang dimulakan oleh nenek moyang mereka..&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bayangkan generasi baru menyambung pergaduhan yang dimulakan generasi lama tanpa tahu puncanya. Tidakkah rugi?&lt;br /&gt;

Kita tinggal serumah, memang banyak benda akan timbul tidak puas hati. Tapi sampai bila?&lt;br /&gt;

Like I said, we are all racist. Just keep it low and don&#39;t heritage that to our children. Kalau tak, bila nak habis?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Don&#39;t be like the Three Stooges. They were laughed at not because of their art of jokes and performance. But because they act stupid.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Janganlah kita ditertawakan... We love Malaysia.

I was laughing hilariously while reading this news on paper yesterday. Fine, there was a fraud by&amp;nbsp; a 17 years old boy who alleged to be a Tuan Muda&amp;nbsp; from Pahang royal family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;I wasn&#39;t laughing to the boy. I think he is a genius.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;I definitely wasn&#39;t laughing to the Pahang Royal Family. They are respected for who they are. Menjunjung Kasih. Daulat Tuanku.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;But I think, a fraud made by a seventeen years old boy to a government department which made the highest ranked officer of the department to accompany this boy for an official visit is something we should think of. One of the Pahang Exco was also there for the visit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many would question the credibility of a government agency to actually let a boy to manipulate them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Siap buat baju dengan tag nama Tuan Muda tu..&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
We all should know, how the former Prime Minister, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamed had been emphasizing about the Look East Policy which stated that we, Malaysians should copy and follow how the Japanese and South Koreans work. I truly understand why now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is Yosuke Nimura. He is from Japan. He WAS a former exchange student in USM for one year. He was and STILL&amp;nbsp; one of&amp;nbsp; the USM Buddies. And HE IS ONE GREAT FRIEND.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To recall back, when I was the Project Director for USM Student Exchange Orientation Week Program back in 2009, me and Joe Yin invited him to be part of the committee for the program. It is somehow weird yet unique because he was part of the working committee for his own orientation week program! He arrived months earlier. That&#39;s why he can do that. So he officially became part of Buddies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So I approached him and invited him to join us that time. We had a chat. His English was so fluent and he spoke with an American accent. So I asked him,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;were you born in the USA?&quot; and &quot;have you been getting your education from USA?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He answered, &quot;NO. I was born and raised in Japan. I took my degree in English&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So from that moment of time, I knew that he is a great person. Judging from how he can actually improve&amp;nbsp; his English even though he is not from an English speaking environment. So he joined us and became one of the family members. I was the project director at that time, so of course I had the command for my working committees. I would say, he was the most hardworking person during the program. He had no problem receiving orders and he will do the task given efficiently. And that has given him a huge respect from us. For me personally, it is amazing how he can fit into a different culture, and actually loves it. He loves durian, spicy Malay foods and etc.. I could list down his great personalities and the things that made us feel amazed, but that would take forever. He is a great leader, follower, friend and brother.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But now he already left for his home country last night. A year of memory with him will last forever. Hoho. This is very touching.... Arghh.. Haha. Ok.. Ok..&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like I said, I finally realized why Dr Mahathir had been wanting the Malaysians to follow the Japanese working culture. They work hard, respect their leaders and minimize the the hanky-panky culture in work. I learned a lot from this guy and Yosuke, I should say thank you. They(Lian Mien)&amp;nbsp; asked me to write a goodbye note to Yosuke. This is basically what I wrote to him:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Dude,you are amazing... bla.. bla... bla... &lt;b&gt;I hope me and other Malaysians can be like you. &lt;/b&gt;bla.... bla... bla... take care, and remember us always!&quot; -Nik-&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So I really hope for that....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the airport, As a memory, I personally gave him an old 1 Ringgit note which I kept in my wallet for almost 3 years.. I gave him that: (1)because I did not have anything to give him at that time, (2) because that 1 ringgit note means a lot to me, and (3) because he can easily put and keep that note in his wallet. Haha.. &lt;br /&gt;

I truly believe that this is something for us to be proud of as it reflects how we as students can also provide our intellectual thinking not only in academic fields, but also on the application and practicality aspect as what we have shown and proved today. I believe this is also part of the needs of an APEX university which it shows the ability of students to think and act intellectually. In the other hand, Motorola, our main sponsor has been always supporting and believing in the capability of the USM students as they have been our main sponsor for the past 2 years. Special thanks to Motorola. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Ladies and gentlemen,&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;The National Research and Innovation Competition (NRIC) has been organized successfully by the Student Representative Council of Universiti Sains Malaysia (MPPUSM) with great collaboration with the NRIC Secreatariat for the past three years. This year, we will continue organizing this project as an annual event. Besides giving recognition to the best final year project for undergraduate students from IPTA and IPTS, we believe that this event will also creates a greater way for the student representative council to consolidate the networking among universities.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Ladies and gentlemen,&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;We are the organizer of an event regarding innovation and research competition. So we also have been doing some innovation for our self. We are opening and broadening our target not only to the IPTA and IPTS but also to the secondary and primary school students. For that we proudly present our first Mini NRIC 2010. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;This is our first move in providing a platform to introduce NRIC to the students and public. We are putting efforts in getting the society to gain more knowledge in science and technology and also to educate these young scientists in the creative field. Furthermore, with the involvement of CETREE and Unisains Holding Sdn Bhd, Mini- NRIC is viewed as a social responsibility of an Apex research university in conveying messages about the importance of science and technology to the public. This can be made through exhibition, advertisement and also publicity via electronic and printed media.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;According to the great book, Blue Ocean Strategy, we need to create our own wave that has the ability to create another competition. That is why we have to do something different. We have to lead, not follow. So he Student’s Representative Council USM has been leading other universities by conducting this annual event in the national level. We are still going to explore other possibilities to prove that we are an APEX university and the nation’s leading educational institution.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Last but not least, we hope to make Mini NRIC as an annual event of pre NRIC, and continue to discover new talent of young scientist in producing a new range of product based on the science and technology concept. I would like to remind you to mark your calendar on the 26&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; May 2010 for the National Research Innovation Competition 2010. On behalf of the Student Representative Council USM , and NRIC Secretariat, I would like to welcome you to one of the great event in USM.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Thank you.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5hS3JQ0j2bYHTVDu-kQR3LcJ_YPO7Y4SirSjaD7RfNIw2PvgKnI7f_MENXA5U81gl_er2IVr6z0eqrLjVWaejcl2fT_hcsihiue_al65IEg7wNyjO37Ge8zCP5EhkojcgwOCOjGYecFk/s1600/26136_110000495700275_100000709767871_110758_1255713_n.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;110&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5hS3JQ0j2bYHTVDu-kQR3LcJ_YPO7Y4SirSjaD7RfNIw2PvgKnI7f_MENXA5U81gl_er2IVr6z0eqrLjVWaejcl2fT_hcsihiue_al65IEg7wNyjO37Ge8zCP5EhkojcgwOCOjGYecFk/s320/26136_110000495700275_100000709767871_110758_1255713_n.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMsm-w_N9vHq6OqJHdFBo_BLAAUQ5rneC-Mp5HIAoqu-B8qj86AISK4uyKuJM0dLyKXUgZu1X42sWqZJET9kngcLUdviay1Wja6kyY4cJkdO-zg8itd3WgycPqZPnyDguSe6YzwWSyRgY/s1600/26136_109995845700740_100000709767871_110733_2569782_n.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;184&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMsm-w_N9vHq6OqJHdFBo_BLAAUQ5rneC-Mp5HIAoqu-B8qj86AISK4uyKuJM0dLyKXUgZu1X42sWqZJET9kngcLUdviay1Wja6kyY4cJkdO-zg8itd3WgycPqZPnyDguSe6YzwWSyRgY/s320/26136_109995845700740_100000709767871_110733_2569782_n.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz9jfSCcJtNR7BCmyD3NB0meMeywE5XWCJkUR6YX-B88MhtDnqQ8FV9QR9Fvt6V_auqwzj2svZUqeRlhrZfE-t-feA3WBdS9KEiwNAuHNVijmQLMQjaHIxS2PrlLIkTVDDSkbmb5-3y94/s1600/26136_110000479033610_100000709767871_110756_5793756_n.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz9jfSCcJtNR7BCmyD3NB0meMeywE5XWCJkUR6YX-B88MhtDnqQ8FV9QR9Fvt6V_auqwzj2svZUqeRlhrZfE-t-feA3WBdS9KEiwNAuHNVijmQLMQjaHIxS2PrlLIkTVDDSkbmb5-3y94/s320/26136_110000479033610_100000709767871_110756_5793756_n.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Sedar atau tidak, dunia sekarang lebih terbuka. Banyak luahan pemikiran yang dapat dilakukan menerusi pelbagai bentuk. Media cetak dan elektronik yang sedia ada seperti surat khabar majalah dan televisyen mungkin dipelopori oleh orang-orang yang &#39;terpilih&#39; dan terbukti ilmunya untuk dijadikan landasan menyampaikan wacana pemikiran mereka. Kini, wujud media alternatif seperti blog yang kini bukan hanya digunakan oleh mereka yang berilmu, tetapi&amp;nbsp; juga digunakan oleh mereka yang kurang berilmu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tidak mengapa. Kerana itulah sebenarnya warna-warni dunia internet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Banyak penulis blog tampil di dunia cyber dengan bermacam- macam cerita. Ada yang bercerita tentang ilmu, kehidupan, makanan, tempat, hubungan, cinta, seks dan sebagainya. Internet umpama dunia tanpa sempadan. Maka bermacam bahasa digunakan. Dalam konteks di Malaysia, saya percaya Bahasa Melayu, Inggeris, Mandarin dan Tamil banyak digunakan oleh penulis blog di Malaysia. Saya tidak tahu berbahasa Mandarin atau Tamil. Maka untuk blog-blog dari Malaysia, sudah tentu saya memilih untuk membaca blog-blog dalam Bahasa Melayu dan Inggeris.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Menerusi blog juga, banyak pendekatan yang dilakukan oleh penulis. Ada yang bercerita tentang hati dan perasaan, ada yang bercerita tentang diri sendiri, ada yang menghentam orang lain, ada yang menulis blog, untuk melepaskan tekanan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sekali lagi, itulah warna warni dunia internet. Dan saya tidak ada masalah dengan itu. Itu semua hak masing-masing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Namun saya cukup meluat dengan blog-blog yang dikendalikan oleh orang Melayu yang menulis blognya dalam Bahasa Inggeris.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Terkejut? Bagus. Ya, saya juga menulis dalam Bahasa Inggeris. Tapi ada sesetengah blog-blog ini yang berterusan menulis dalam Bahasa Inggeris, tetapi mungkin terasa ingin menukar mood, tiba-tiba menulis satu post dalam Bahasa Melayu. Dan ayat permulaanya begini:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;saya tak pandai berbahasa Melayu.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
atau...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;bahasa melayu saya sudah luntur&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Saya tidak ada masalah dengan mereka yang menulis dalam Bahasa Inggeris dan sesekali ingin menulis dalam Bahasa Melayu. Tapi apa saya cuba ingin katakan ialah:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Saya meluat dengan orang Melayu tulen yang kononya mengaku tidak tahu/mahir berbahasa Melayu.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Mungkin benar, bahasa Melayunya tidak begitu mantap. Tapi pengakuan begitu agak menggelikan saya. Bagi saya, tullislah ribuan novel Inggeris yang boleh mengalahkan Shakespeare, bercakaplah dalam bahasa Inggeris dengan pelat Mat Salleh, sehingga orang kampung anda ternganga. Namun, untuk mengaku anda tidak mahir berbahasa ibunda anda iaitu bahasa Melayu, itu umpama menghina bangsa anda.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sekarang, saya menulis dalam Bahasa Melayu. Jika A Samad Said menilai bahasa Melayu saya ini, mungkin saya akan dapat &amp;nbsp;markah yang sangat rendah. Namun saya tidak mahu mengaku yang saya tidak mahir menulis dan menggunakan bahasa Melayu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tatkala kita hebat mencari ilmu dan memantapkan bahasa Inggeris kita, ada segelintir di luar sana yang bukan berbangsa Melayu malah, rakyat dari negara lain yang berusaha untuk memantapkan bahasa Melayu mereka sehingga dapat berpidato dan bersyarah dalam Bahasa Melayu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
PERTANDINGAN PIDATO ANTARABANGSA, PIALA PERDANA MENTERI buktinya.&lt;br /&gt;

I don&#39;t give a damn about celebrities and artist locally and internationally. Seriously, if you ask me about who sing this song, who sing that song, what is Britney&#39;s favorite panties or what Siti Nurhaliza and Datuk K did during their first night, or when is Anugerah Bintang Popular. I would definitely say. I DON&quot;T KNOW. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But this story really made me to write something:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8jIse0HAWdlUOIl_XL4nHc1rzXL0yA05-hKW7wzhGNThBsJvJ2axXeICuEGlTASfBM-a7_lWMsFa3XifHFBCU-Qz-nnaCyUY2C7UHNMbkWx13yoV5S5ovXG2IfTPiV_2XwVgXp-T011o/s1600/Ditangkap+semula.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8jIse0HAWdlUOIl_XL4nHc1rzXL0yA05-hKW7wzhGNThBsJvJ2axXeICuEGlTASfBM-a7_lWMsFa3XifHFBCU-Qz-nnaCyUY2C7UHNMbkWx13yoV5S5ovXG2IfTPiV_2XwVgXp-T011o/s320/Ditangkap+semula.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Yup. This guy &lt;span id=&quot;main&quot; style=&quot;visibility: visible;&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;search&quot; style=&quot;visibility: visible;&quot;&gt;Khaeryll Benjamin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; A.K.A Benjy is one of the Malaysia&#39;s renowned&amp;nbsp; male actor. I personally admire his acting style and I would say he is an actor with charisma and great talent. It might be inherited from his mother, actress Azean Irdawaty. Azean Irdawaty herself is my mom&#39;s favorite actress.&amp;nbsp; But he is now accused for possessing drugs. You can read the story in newspaper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like I said, I don&#39;t give really concern about what is happening to those celebrities. But why am I writing this?...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I had my primary school education in Sekolah Kebangsaan Kampung Tunku, Petaling Jaya. FYI, I was a classmate with Benjy&#39;s sister, &lt;span id=&quot;main&quot; style=&quot;visibility: visible;&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;search&quot; style=&quot;visibility: visible;&quot;&gt;Elza Irdalyna.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. As far as I concern, she has been in a few dramas. So, I should be proud that I was in the same class with an actress. Perghh.. :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we frequently saw Elza&#39;s brother, Benjy fetching her from school. I clearly remember him coming into classroom talking to his sister&#39;s friend including me. I would say he is one loving and caring brother. Always with a smile on his face. He always kissed her sister on the forehead every time he left her sister. We all in that classroom were like, owwwww... sweet brother.&amp;nbsp; That time, he was young, slim and handsome. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8iAg6lp8odcYqWhaUUmg8rRsi8oBQiVdKcrJvLYjvhG9biTIJvsDmP2cM4JaJkGZ3Y5vZabFQz7OapXgF2WoBxtq9RTxEFDTLUKU4DXpVYmrHGAN3wdA0NdL7x6MibvB0xFHxVfZ9cVs/s1600/azean-10.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8iAg6lp8odcYqWhaUUmg8rRsi8oBQiVdKcrJvLYjvhG9biTIJvsDmP2cM4JaJkGZ3Y5vZabFQz7OapXgF2WoBxtq9RTxEFDTLUKU4DXpVYmrHGAN3wdA0NdL7x6MibvB0xFHxVfZ9cVs/s320/azean-10.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Elza, in fact, always talk about her brother. I must say he is someone who cares about family. I read in some news that he was always with his mother, taking care of her when she was sick. Now that proves he is a family man.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;So now, I am writing this because I think I know Benjy. Just imagine a mother who loves her son so much but then she has to consider her son&#39;s fate to be accused as a drug dealer. She has to bear some &#39;mulut hantu&#39; who like to &#39;mengumpat&#39;. And she is still in the process of fighting her cancer.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Kasih ibu. Tetap kasih ibu..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;New Economic Model (NEM)&lt;/b&gt;. Wow! As an Economic student, I am rather thrilled to &#39;articulate&#39; something about this new plan from our Prime Minister, Najib Tun Razak.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Before that, I would like to stress that I am just an Economic student. I suppose that I am nobody to actually say or comment anything as a regard to the new Economic Model, a model proposed by our PM , a graduates from University of Nottingham, UK with Bachelor of Industrial Economic who served in Bank Negara and Petronas before joining politics and already served the nation brilliantly for more than 30 years.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;The model, as we all know it is a result of Majlis Penasihat Ekonomi Negara (MPEN) as well as other economist around the world who have been invited by the PM to work together in initiating this model.. I should be proud of the VC of USM, Tan Sri Professor Dzulkifli Abdul Razak to be one of the members.=)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;To our PM, I believe that this is one of your great efforts in sustaining economic development. We are always behind your back.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;However, I would really appreciate if I can convey some thoughts by one of my lecturers. which is a professor in Economy and was one of the gears in planning the economic strategy during Tun Mahathir&#39;s era.....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; color: red; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&quot;the plans and strategies have been proposed long time ago&quot;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; color: red; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; color: red; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;.......that was what my prof said right after the NEM was announced. To comment about that,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;I think that the Prime Minister is aware of rescuing all the plans and and strategies from all the &#39;bijak pandai&#39; which in can help to create a new way of sustaining the ec&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;onomy.&lt;/span&gt; That is why he constructed Majlis Professor Negara &lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;recently. I would write about that in my next post. =)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; color: red; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; color: red; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;For me, this New Economic Model brings no harm to our economic development. I have been reading critics and negative comments about this model. As I said, I am nobody in giving comments on this matter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; color: red; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; color: red; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghzglQtLggCU4VioGuTkyoblBlbJuWkf7PERz7uCn4yCypvgvJmKCb-u-TOQxqCZ3cKyPe5U6ODAsKMtAtd9t14SGE0n6myYqq3cJjFnbJri5FkLDsSVrwFKkn9jrG862OLMMuQcRYOFY/s1600/HarvardBusinessSchoolPress-BlueOcea.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghzglQtLggCU4VioGuTkyoblBlbJuWkf7PERz7uCn4yCypvgvJmKCb-u-TOQxqCZ3cKyPe5U6ODAsKMtAtd9t14SGE0n6myYqq3cJjFnbJri5FkLDsSVrwFKkn9jrG862OLMMuQcRYOFY/s320/HarvardBusinessSchoolPress-BlueOcea.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt; I just believe that, in assuring a sustainable development, we should not stick to the old plan. We should create a new one. As written in the &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Blue Ocean Strategy&lt;/span&gt; book, we should create a new market in order to minimize the competition and make it stay relevant. You guys should read that. That is why USM has been chosen as Apex University. We lead. We do new things.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; color: red; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; color: red; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;For NEM, the same thing may be applied. The government are looking for new mechanisms and ways in developing our economy. As for the critics, they might be true.&amp;nbsp; I am sure the government is taking them into consideration as well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; color: red; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;I said, I am nobody to comment about this. But as a student with knowledge limitations, and one of the 25 millions Malaysians who are going to get the impacts of this model, I think that &lt;/span&gt;the objective of the NEM is for Malaysia to join the ranks of the  high-income economies, but not at all costs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The growth process needs to  be both inclusive and sustainable. Inclusive growth enables the  benefits to be broadly shared across all communities. Sustainable growth  augments the wealth of current generations in a way that does not come  at the expense of future generations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A number of strategic reform initiatives have been proposed. These  are aimed at greater private initiative, better skills, more  competition, a leaner public sector, pro-growth affirmative action, a  better knowledge base and infrastructure, the selective promotion of  sectors, and environmental as well as fiscal sustainability.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next step of the process will be a public consultation to gather  feedback on the key principles and afterwards the key recommendations  will be translated into actionable policies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Overall, the New Economic Model demonstrates the clear recognition that  Malaysia needs to introduce deep-reaching structural reforms to boost  growth. The proposed measures represent a significant and welcome step  in this direction. What will matter most now is&amp;nbsp;the translation of  proposed principles into actionable policies and the strong and  multi-year commitment to implement them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Apa bezanya Leader dan Follower?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Let me tell you. Leader is someone who lead a team to fulfill a goal.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It may not be the exact definition. But basically that is it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Follower is someone who follow a leader do what the leader has&amp;nbsp;instructed him or her to do.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is again not the exact definition. But basically that is it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I repeat my question: WHAT&#39;S THE DIFFERENT BETWEEN A LEADER AND A FOLLOWER?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;One thing only: The leader will make the decision. Others follow. That&#39;s all.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And to convince the team to follow his or her decision, a leader must speak, wear, and act convincingly.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So my point is: In order for you to convince others, appearance is very important.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And appearance is subjective. I repeat: SUBJECTIVE.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Don&#39;t be so stereotype that a leader must wear this and that to show he or she is a leader.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Trust me, that makes a huge wall between leaders and followers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;See you around.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Tak paham? aku pun.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;border-width: 0px; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 16px; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;I feel that Bahasa Malaysia (BM) has been sidelined over the years. Sadly, many shopping centres and other such public places only provide signages and posters in English.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;border-width: 0px; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 16px; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;It doesn’t impress tourists that we forsake the language which identifies our country. Rather, it makes them curious of the fortunes of BM in its own hinterland.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;border-width: 0px; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 16px; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;In other shopping destinations in the world like Hong Kong, Seoul and Tokyo, signages are available at least&amp;nbsp; bilingually, in their respective national language and English. Why isn’t it the same here? Or why not multilingual if possible, considering that we are multicultural and many of the tourists in KL are Middle&lt;br /&gt;
Eastern and East Asians, too?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;border-width: 0px; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 16px; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;On the Internet, I also can barely feel the dignity of BM among local and localised websites. I notice that our localised websites of most international brands are only in English, while virtually all localised versions for other countries, including our neighbours, are readily made in their respective native language, if not bilingual or multilingual.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;border-width: 0px; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 16px; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Not only that, the websites of NGOs, societies and even local businesses and government-linked companies&lt;br /&gt;
like Telekom Malaysia Bhd and Petronas are only in English.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;border-width: 0px; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 16px; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;We should not wait for some sort of legislation to enforce the use of BM. Instead, let’s use our hearts and minds to voluntarily uphold the dignity and sovereignty of BM in Malaysia, and eventually celebrate&lt;br /&gt;
multilingualism in our country.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;border-width: 0px; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 16px; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Will hosting a website in two languages cost double?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;border-width: 0px; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 16px; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Kudos to Facebook, Friendster, Carrefour, Wikipedia, etc to make it a point to provide websites in BM without anyone compelling them.

Kenapa engkau perut?&lt;br /&gt;
Kenapa perut bukan bulan?&lt;br /&gt;
Kalau bulan pun buat apa?&lt;br /&gt;
Kerana perut dan bulan tiada kena mengena..&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perut...&lt;br /&gt;
Perut bukan seekor kerbau!&lt;br /&gt;
Memang tak logik jikalau ianya kerbau&lt;br /&gt;
Kerbau ada perut juga..&lt;br /&gt;
Bagaimana perut kerbau itu adalah perut?&lt;br /&gt;
Apa ini??!!&lt;br /&gt;
Aku tidak mengerti sama sekali..&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perut..&lt;br /&gt;
Perut itu adalah abstrak&lt;br /&gt;
Umpama lukisan Monalisa&lt;br /&gt;
Perempuan hodoh pun mahal nilainya&lt;br /&gt;
Perut hodoh?&lt;br /&gt;
Mahal isi kandunganya..&lt;br /&gt;
Ada nasi didalamnya..&lt;br /&gt;
ada daging lembu, rusa, buruk puyuh..&lt;br /&gt;
ada kicap, budu, tempoyak...&lt;br /&gt;
Itulah perut..&lt;br /&gt;
Yang hodoh.. tapi banyak kandunganya.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kini tengok perut anda!&lt;br /&gt;
Ambil pen dan tuliskan baik-baik diatas perut itu..&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;SAYA BONGOK, TAK ADA KERJA&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Kerana apa?&lt;br /&gt;
Kerana anda telah membaca post ini yang ntah hapa hapa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
HAHAHA...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&quot; Dia nampak lelaki tu masa main bowling. Mereka tak pernah kenal and cakap. Tapi minggu depan dia akan jumpa dan terus ajak kahwin. Dia cakap itu hidayah dan petunjuk.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;err.. I don&#39;t know what to say. A muslimah saw a guy at a bowling centre which happens to be her friend&#39;s friend. And she never talk to him. The guy don&#39;t even know her! Yet, she&#39;s so certain in getting him as her husband.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And she said, it&#39;s a hidayah...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Well. There&#39;s nothing wrong according to Islam. Good luck to her!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I can never imagine my life to be a&amp;nbsp;spontaneous&amp;nbsp;one. No!&lt;br /&gt;

I remembered one day, that we were throwing a birthday party to a friend. And at the same time on a different occasion, my dad was busy sending out card invitations for my bro&#39;s wedding. So, basically. we were doing the same thing which was asking people to attend your&amp;nbsp;occasion. &amp;nbsp;Same thing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What my dad did was, he searched for all the contact cards, telephone numbers, numbers that are in his communicator, specially ordered bunch of invitation cards, rechecked all the contacts, ect ect..( you know the process ). He made all that in less than 3 days. Its a well done job for inviting over 1000 guests for the wedding. Knowing my dad, his efficiency is unbeatable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On my side, which is for the little birthday party thing, what I did was I opened my Facebook account, made a few clicks and typings. And its done. I made that in less than 3 minutes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What I am trying to say is, yes there are differences in how the older people like my dad trying to stay connected to their friends, compare to the youngsters like me. We are living in Facebook, Friendster, Myspace, Tagged world now. We can know what exactly happened to our friend who lives at the far end of the world. Compare to our moms and dads (well I should say most) they are still using the old way to stay connected to their friends. I am sure that they are still struggling to say &#39;hye&#39; to an old friend they haven&#39;t see in 10 years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, the point is. We can see how effective the youngsters getting connected with each other and how easy we can understand our friends and people in this Facebook network. We can share everything, laugh tears, problems, happiness in just a couple of clicks and minutes. And in what I see, the Facebook culture among the&amp;nbsp;youngsters&amp;nbsp;are growing rapidly. I can say that some &#39;Facebookers&#39; are like living in the cyber space. They are connected to the internet like every second, minute and hour. They are with their friends everyday! This matter also as the result of how sophisticated the mobile phone gadgets now days that allow you to bring that &#39;palm sized&#39; computer with internet wherever you go and whenever you want. It just explain how crazy the technology influences us.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, thanks to technology. We have a brand new way to meet people, and be friend with them. I hope this will bring good benefits to the whole human race.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let me tell you what I think...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shimon Peres might not has FB. So he can&#39;t has the easy access to be friend with some good muslims. So he hates Palestine people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
George W Bush might not has FB. So he was lack of Iraqis and Afghanistan friends to say to his ears slowly,&quot;Don&#39;t attack us.. we are your friends&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
BN leaders and Pakatan leaders might not has FB so they can&#39;t say &#39;hye&#39;, &#39;poke&#39;, &#39;write on walls&#39; kind of thing.&lt;br /&gt;
As the result they are so stress up in finding ways to stay apart&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;m not saying that all these people should have Facebook, and there goes a better world. No. What I&#39;m trying to say is, let us be all friends. In one network, and share our thoughts together. The network that I should call &#39;Earth&#39; or &#39;Malaysia&#39; ect. Staying close which each other are the best way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I wonder... In 30 to 40 years time when this world are conducted by my generation. So everybody might has Facebook. So love and sense of connecting are easily spread out at that time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we should wait for this old current generation to all die first.
