It is a welcoming act for the government to increase the recipient for PSD (Public Scholarship) for non bumis to 45% instead of just 10% before.After all, it will benefit the nation with more excellent students get to study abroad and come back to Malaysia to improve the situation here and "berbakti kepada negara". If, they ever coming back.
In line with the government's act, they should plan how to keep these scholars to come back to Malaysia and to work here, meaning to serve back to the nation and its people where they, the scholars use their hard earn money so that they get to further their study without any financial burden, so to say.It is very crucial as we can see that year after year, more and more scholars who went abroad to study, stayed there and never to return to Malaysia. This is such a very shameful act, and it is a great loss to the nation.
Like I said earlier, it is welcoming for the government to introduce new scheme which will benefit more students, but the government must consider the fact that while they are opening more opportunities to the non bumis, they should never sacrifice the well being of the bumis.This is what I mean, and I hope no party would eventually think of it as something racist or whatsoever;
The bumis have very little option other than the PSD and MARA.There's not so many other bumiputera organisations which offer full scholarship to the bumis students, while there's a lot of non bumis association which offers funds and scholarships to their sons and daughters.As the government allows more place for the non bumis, the governmnet should strictly consider that the places for bumis students are not decreased.
Yes, some may argue that there's a lot of public and private sectors which offer open scholarship for all Malaysians, which include opportunity for the bumis students, but come on, we do admit that our batch of bumis students still are lacking behind then their non bumis counter part in many aspects.Thus , decreasing their opportunities and possibilities to gain such scholarships.
Never in my intention to question the right for other fellow students of Malaysians to gain public scholarship.I never do.And if anyone thinks that this post is seditious, or "dangerous to the nation's safety", please be free to express your opinions.

Malaysian Malaysia
Malaysian Malaysia- the slogan which brought PAP into fame in 1960s after the formation of Malaysia, the Federation of Malaya, Singapore, Sabah and Sarawak.
It was also the slogan which contributes to the expulsion of Singapore from the Federation of Malaysia.
It was also the slogan of the Democratic Action Party, to the extent that they won in 1969's General Election which later brought teh nation into its much anticipated racial riot of 13th May.
It was a dream of the non-bumis to have the same status as the bumis, especially in governments implementation of policies, which they say favours bumis over non-bumis.
The DAP,Gerakan and PPP has been fighting for this status for decades now; to have Malaysian Malaysia, and abolish the special right of the Bumis especially the ethnic Malays.
This is what I say:
To have a Malaysian Malaysia, which does not differ a Malay with his or her Chinese and Indian counter part, is to have one common identity for all. One Nation, One Race.
But, the Chinese and the Indian has to accept the fact that the Malays want them to "join" the Malays.
Explanation?
The Chinese and the Indian must become like a Malay.This situation is to provide the same identity for all.They have to eat Malay food, speak Malay fluently without slang,and to accept the idea of Sekolah Kebangsaan, to replace with their vernacular school.
Yet, the Chinese and the Indian are still pushing for more vernacular school.How are we going to create one identity for all, if the Chinese and Indian still speaks Malay badly because they were schooled at the vernacular school?Sometime it was rather difficult to communicate with the non bumis because of their poor conversation in Bahasa Malaysia. Communication is so important in building one identity.
Look at Indonesia, the Phillipines, they are years ahead of us in creating their own Bangsa.I salute the Indonesian and the Phillipines for their effort in creating one identity. Even now, when anyone refers to Bahasa Melayu, they will think of Bahasa Indonesia, not Bahasa Malaysia because all of them, 220 millions of them speaks one Bahasa which is Bahasa Melayu Indonesia.They still converse in their own mother tongue at home, with their family but not to the extent that they were fighting for vernacular school and multilingualism in their own country!
I strictly believe that to have a Malaysian Malaysia, these has to be done.
P/S:I apologise if this post make some people felt uneasy, and I do accept conmmentary and opinions from anyone.

Sabah Oh Sabah....
The start of Parliamentary Session this time was so much awaited as there was rumours of BN MPs especially those from Sabah to cross over to Pakatan Rakyat (PR). The PR bloc is just short of 30 more MPs to make them majority and dissolve the Federal Government of Pak Lah. The ousted former Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who is now the much anticipated "PM in waiting" was reported to woo Sabah MPs to cross over to PR especially to his party, Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR).
Wednesday, was the day that is touted t be the day when the MPs would cross over to the other bloc.Nothing happened.
The Sabah MPs have been vocal lately to expressed their grouses regarding the matter of Sabah to the extent that they event hinted to cross over, though a couple of the senior MPs, namely Anisah Aman and Abdul Ghapur Salleh denied the rumours that the MPs are crossing over.
Why would they cross over, you'd ask?Here's why:
1.For all of these years, the East Malaysia's MPs of BN had only become the subset to the BN MPs in Parliament, as the BN from Peninsular is much more in numbers. The BN doesn't really need them back then. But after the General Election 2008, the MPs from Sabah and Sarawak is the major factor of the BN to retain as Federal Government.
2.Have you been to Sabah?There are more immigrants then local people there. For decades, immigrants from Indonesia and the Phillipines have been migrating into Sabah without any stern action from the authority.
3.The cost of living over there is slightly higher than in Peninsular, with everyday's groceries is more pricey.Books, stationery,cooking oil, gas,evrything is higher over there but their income is much lesser than us here in Peninsular.
4.Sabah and Sarawak has been contributing very much to Malaysia's economic growth, after all they ae the major producer of Malaysia's petroleum,palm oil and logs.But still they only tasted a piece of the nation's income.
5.There hardly any major effort from the Federal Government to address their grouses and dissatisfaction.

Post the General Election
Prior to General Election 2008
Malaysians are living in slumber motion, there was no much issues to be discussed,except for the rumours of increasing cost of living as day by day teh media was talking about the increase of crude oil price.Though the election mood was picking up, but there's no major controversial issues, apart of the infamous (read:famous) Bersih rally and Hindraf demonstration.
People were guessing when would the Prime Minister, Dato' Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi would announce the dissolution of Parliament and the start of the General Election's rally. Amidst speculation that the Premier would dissolve the Parliament on 13th February, as 13 is his favourite number and the General Election would be held on 8th March, the PM still keep it mum.
Then, suddenly here it goes: The Barisan Nasional lost its 2/3 majority in Dewan Rakyat and 5 rich states namely Kedah, Penang, Perak, Selangor and lost its bid to win over Kelantan despite its much anticipated "the Blue Wave". Period.
I was partying hard the night when the General Election results came out. I hoped of getting the news on the MSM the next morning but to my avail, there was hardly any.People were rushing to get the papers and to find out what was going on and what would happen next?There was no parade or procession to celebrate any party's win as it is touted to incite "racial tension".Bah!
Many analysis and commentary were produced to justify one party's win and the other party's loss.Some argue that it was a signal to the Federal Government that the "Makkal Sakthi" or the People's Power or Ketuanan Rakyat is at worked. Some would later contradict that it was merely a protest vote to the Fedearal Government because of the people's unsatisfaction towards government's actions and policies, especially regarding the higher price of daily goods and petrols and also the "racist implementation of the Constitution" which technically favours the Bumiputeras, especially ethnic Malay.Bah!
And here when Tun Mahathir starts to act.
Bombarding Pak Lah with various accusations, even to urge the current Premier to step down as a "responsive acts" because of the dismal performance of the BN in the General Election. The former Premier even went to the extent of playing the racial card when he said that the Malay Supremacy over politics in Malaysia is some kind eroded under Pak Lah's administration.Much of it is true.
Now that Tun Mahathir, the former President of UMNO and BN and the Prime Minister of Malaysia for 22 years has step out of UMNO and BN, what more for us, the Malays specifically and Malaysian generally has to go on with this situation?

Not so long before I did accept the fact that here in Malaysia, we would never have the right to speak our mind, the right to make sure that what we thought, what we speak, what we write and what we produce doesn't get "cut, cencored,controlled", or the 3Cs by the authority. I did accept the fact that we had to live with all these draconian acts which enable the government to make sure that Malaysian only get the access to infos from "reliable sources", the MSMs.Yes. I did accept them.But not anymore.
So, to all those fellow bloggers out there, this is the time for us to make an impact to improve the situation in Malaysia.I call for no more secrets, no more "others", no more control over young minds, no more people telling us what to believe, and no more people claiming superiority over others!!!Yes!I believe we can do it!!!!
