Tulisan Jawi, Bahasa Melayu, budaya Melayu runtuh...angkara siapa?

 Satu masa dahulu - ada pihak yg cuba MEMARTABATKAN TULISAN JAWI yg menjadi tulisan bg bahasa melayu yg sebelumnya ini diperkasakan dgn tulisan Al-Quran (tulisan Arab) sehingga menjadi tulisan yang dihormati - tetapi pihak yg sama juga menekankan PEMERKASAAN TULISAN RUMI konon demi atas nama kemajuan ... akhirnya tulisan jawi yg didabik sbg simbol kebanggaan dilihat menjadi tidak relevan dalam aplikasi harian dan berkubur.

Beberapa tahun yg lepas - ada pihak yg cuba MEMERTABATKAN BAHASA MELAYU yg sebelumnya merupakan bahasa tunjang negara dan rantau ini yg sebelum ini banyak diperkasakan dgn bahasa Arab pinjaman oleh Hamzah Fansuri Ulama agung agar bahasa Melayu menjadi dinamik dgn didokong oleh ilmu2 sains Islam - tetapi pihak ini juga menekankan PEMERKASAAN BAHASA INGGERIS konon demi atas nama kemajuan ... tak lama lagi bahasa Melayu ini yg hanya akan jadi simbol kebanggaan dipejabat2 kerajaan tetapi akan dilihat semakin tidak relevan dalam aplikasi harian sosial, pendidikan dan ekonomi negara.

Beberapa tahun akan datang - Bangsa Melayu yang menjadi tonggak bangsa negara yg  dahulunya diperkasakan oleh keutuhan keimanan Islam... tetapi akan terus layu dek kerana mereka semakin menjauhkan diri dari ajaran Islam apabila masyarakat Melayu dan para pemimpin sekeluarganya terus dihidang dgn budaya korup, tamak, materialistik, dengki, hiburan melampau dan hendonisme menjadikan identiti bangsa ini menjadi semakin tidak relevan dalam kehidupan bernegara.

Yang menjadikan Bangsa Melayu, Bahasa Melayu dan Tulisan Melayu (Jawi) gagah suatu ketika dahulu adalah disebabkan ia diperkasakan dengan Syariat Islamiah yang mendokongnya. Tetapi tanpa Islam yang mendasarinya, Bangsa Melayu, Bahasa Melayu dan Tulisan Melayu (Jawi) akan terus menjadi semakin tidak relevan dan tidak bermaya.

Angkara siapakah segala keruntuhan tulisan, bahasa dan bangsa ini berlaku sejak sekian lama? Soalnya apakah kita selaku manusia berbangsa Melayu, berbahasa Melayu, bertulisan Melayu (Jawi) patut lakukan? Patutkah kita menyalahkan bangsa lain dan penganut agama lain atau patutkah kita mempertanggngjawabkan pihak yang meruntuhkan segala-galanya mengenai Melayu sebaliknya kembali kepada ISLAM untuk kembali MEMPERKASAKAN MELAYU?

NEP - is it a hindrance to Malaysia unity and justice?

I actually like KJ's response to the first question and he is quite right in his response

The question was asked by I believe a non-bumiputera about how can we have an equal Malaysian (1Malaysia) when we have NEP at the same time.

NEP is not the reason why we can not have so-called 1Malaysia (if the meaning is to have justice to all races) as the very reason NEP was established was to make correction to the social-structure and wealth distribution left by colonial British. It is these very reasons why NEP was established due to the injustice of wealth distribution especially to the Malay majority and the injustice of social-structure especially against the Malays.

The objective is to enrich the uneducated Malays and the poor with capability and competencies to be in level playing fields with their fellow citizen the non-bumiputera i.e. the Chinese which mostly were businessmen and the Indian which mostly the professionals. Second objective is to re-shape the wealth distribution to the poor which happen to be mostly the Malays at that time and still is till today, but without taking away or sacrificing what is already residing with the non-Malays/non-bumiputeras but rather by enlarging the pie of wealth, with both bumiputera and non-bumiputera helping each other in enlarging the opportunity by bumiputera sharing their political will to the non-bumiputera whilst the non-bumiputera share business opportunity and knowledge to bumiputera community.

Without these, our forefather foresee (again regardless whether we agree or not), there will not be stability in the country just like what happen to South Africa, Israel, Zimbabwe, Fiji etc, when the the pre-colonial citizen were denied justice with level of playing fields.

As most of the poor especially the hard-core poor are the Malays/Bumiputera, NEP emphasises on "Malay Privilege" in meeting the objective of restructuring the social structure and these were agreed by our forefather among the major three races - Malay, Chinese and Indian in the social-contract regardless whether our generation agree with it or not. The word Privilege (Istimewa in Bahasa Melayu) used need to be analysed by the Malays as well as the non-Malays in more details. The word is 'temporary' in nature instead of the word Rights (hak). These need to be understood by the Malays that Privilege does not mean Rights especially when the new generation of citizen like us comes into existence.

The new generations will definitely question the - what perceive to be in-equal rights in NEP, whereas it was actually agreed by our forefather due to understanding of the spirit behind it. Lack of understanding about the spirit of it by the new generations was actually foreseen by our forefather. Hence, our forefather when they drafted NEP, realized this reality, this phenomena will going to happen anyway therefore, formulated something like a KPI for them to meet within the framework of NEP. KPI consists of expected deliverable/outcome and timeline. One of it for example is 30% equity among the bumiputera which consist more than 60% of the national population. Our forefather believed that, when all the deliverables in giving justice of wealth distribution and social structure are met within the stipulated timelines, the so-called privilege should slowly be removed to give equal rights and access to all races as 1Malaysia.

Overtime, these deliverable and timeline are like a time-bomb especially if one-by-one of the its deliverable not met within timeline.

The question really is not that NEP as barrier to national unity as it is actually the very reason for national unity but rather the question should be a) the failure to manifest the objective of NEP via failure to deliver the outcome within timeline; and b) the abuse of NEP in enriching small quarter of rich people and ignoring the majority who really need it. The central question is really a) who abuse the NEP? b) who should be responsible if the KPI set for NEP is not met? Answer to both questions are the same... BN led by UMNO.

The ruling coalition led by UMNO is seen not only failed in delivering the NEP outcomes but also making excuse in extending it and also giving wealth to the few cronies. At the same time, the non-bumiputera business community has not been as sincere in delivering their promise in enriching opportunity and extending helping hand in sharing experience and knowledge to bumiputera community. Instead they have been seen as taking advantage of blood sucking attitude of authority (government) whom always hunger for extra money by giving them bribery. These corrupt practices have delayed the deliverables of the NEP and de-railed its objective hence risk of bringing the country to in-stability as foreseen by our forefather.

The question to us now, what should we as voters do about it. Should we give extended time to the 'old' coalition to meet the deliverable or should we give the mandate to 'new' force but  still need to deliver the noble objective of NEP. Ignoring the correction of social-structure and wealth distribution is not the option if PR is thinking doing so.

Shah Alam....Capital "CITY" of Selangor??

Eventhough holding the title of CITY in the most develope state in Malaysia - Selangor, there is no clear definition where is the center of the Shah Alam city.

The location of public transport centers or stations and all public offices are too disperse within housing areas, far from city center and even mostly not near any of the township. The bus and taxi station are located at Section 17, Komuter station in Section 19, District Police HQ (Section11), Contingent Police HQ (Section 9), Fire Brigade HQ (Sect U8), and Public wet market (sect 24). Although it has 5 Specialist Medical Centers at 7 locations, Shah Alam is the only state capital city that do not have public hospital. The nearest public hospital is in Klang.

PKNS, hold the rights of almost all of the property areas in Shah Alam that have high potential economic value. This may be the prime reason why all the public facilities and offices are located outside the prime areas as it has lower economic value relatively to having malls, hotels, specialist medical center and tall commercial buildings.

However, Shah Alam as admistrative center for the government that is responsible to take care of the welfare of the majority of its people, should not be focusing too much on physical economic development which benefit directly only to the few i.e. business and rich community. The authority have to menifest that it is sincere to have the city to be meant for its entire population, not only on materialistic economic objective but its social responsibility. Those in power should not only preach to the private sector on their social responsibility when the public sector themselves fail on their part.
