Especially when we hate the current government, for whatever reason.
If you're a malay, most of you hate the government for not being islamic enough, or not giving enough priviledge to you.
If you're a chinese, you think govt is not fair, everything is subsidised to the Bumiputra.
If you're an indian, well you think you're being neglected.
Mostly, if you are a Malaysian, you think we need to change the government, it's corrupted and we need some fresh leader to bring out fresh leadership style.
And don't be surprise if you don't fit in any of these. It might be because you're just one of those who follow others. You agree with the majority.
There are some who loves the current government, though. Those who benefits from them, or maybe those whose parents are so involved with the current government, they felt in love right from their baby years.
Truth is, no one's wrong. It's your point of view. Your choice, that you've made from informations you gain.
What's wrong is, when we think today is just another holiday. And when we think Merdeka is just a word to be shouted aloud today. That is just wrong.
The hell with your politics view, independence is something everyone should be grateful of.
Not merdeka enough you said? It's not free to say anything we like in this country, and we are so not free to do anything we wish to do, eh? Tell me one place where you can do all that, freely.
I know that this is lame, and by now you must have thought that I am a pro government. If it is, it has nothing to do about me feeling thankful to Allah for giving me a peaceful live in this country.
Peace to me, is no gun shot sound everyday. The ability to receive humble smile from a stranger, and the freedom to eat out in any restaurant i want.
That might sound cheap. But who knows exactly what's the price of peace?
I might be shallow, someone who have not even went out from Malaysia, and read only interesting articles/books. But I'm a human and it's my nature to love peace. Don't we?
And yeah, it's holiday indeed. Everyone is lazying around, peacefully. Right?
Happy Merdeka Day !

kalau tak merdeka :
1) tadak lah petronas, mungkin akan hanya ada BP (walaupon aku tak makin kaya atas petronas, but still ramai melayu yang tambah senang kan)
2) tadak lah telekom malaysia, mungkin kita subsidiary BT. hehe.
dan byk lagiii yang tak tersenarai disini.
but looking at HK, kalau kita still bawah british, mungkin kita akan juga maju mengikut zaman, tapi, confirmkah melayu akan turut maju di tanah melayu kalau kite tak merdeka. ikut sejarah, british hanya jaga anak2 raja melayu sahaja.
eh aku mungkin patut tulis dalam blog sendiri kan, tapi aku malas.
sebab... aku dah tau, aku mmg emosi bila benda2 macam nih.
semalam tgk tak hati malaya?
anyway, selamat merdeka jugak. tapii.. aku agak benci semalam bila aku tengok ramai2 budak2 naik basikal beremba di jalan tgh malam and mat2 motor merempit. habis merdeka ke mcm tu?
nina...itulah cara bebudak sekarang sambut merdeka...
NJ : aku just kecewa when people said there's nothing to celebrate on merdeka.
Azataq : hmmh, bebudak ni, tak sambut merdeka pun camtu jugak.
constantly i used to read smaller articles or reviews that also clear their motive, and
that is also happening with this post which I am reading at this place.
