reciting a poem again! deklamasi sajak yo!

Oh when was my last post? Last year?

Hahahaha. 

Later at 6pm, I'll be reciting a poem/mendeklamasi sajak as one of the performers for Local Democracy Festival Penang launch + busking event. It'll be at Esplanade, on the sidewalk between Medan Selera Renong and the War Memorial. I'll be reading a poem I wrote two years ago after the Bersih 2.0 rally, titled 'Pancutan Sperma Asid'. Hehehe. So damn nervous now. The last time I recited a poem was 8 yrs ago! And for human rights prog like this, Special Branch officers are everywhere. Fuh! Nvm this is the chance for me to express my creative writing. nyeh nyeh nyeh. So come and have fun! There'll be other performances and sales too. =p

bila yang sepatutnya baik menjadi jahat

Gengster sekarang bukan takat yang buka rumah pelacur, jual DVD cetak rompak ataupun nak culik orang. Gengster paling besar sekarang ni ialah si pemakai uniform biru tua yang pukul orang sesuka hati termasuklah media. Merekalah antara manusia terjijik, terkotor terjahanam pernah ku jumpa. Totally no respect for u, except uncle police who control the traffic.

Ya bukan semua polis jahat dan kotor.

Pernah ku jumpa polis yang mesra, baik, dan membantu.

Tapi sekarang di mata dunia, anda memang sudah kotor.

Budaya dalaman mu sukar diubah.

Bila gila, kamu memukul macam hantu diserang histeria.

Hari ke hari, nama mu busuk merata dunia.

Reputasi mu jatuh di mata Malaysians.

Mungkin anda hanya harum di kalangan orang-orang mu.

Keamanan negara bukan terletak lagi di tangan mereka. 

Kepercayaan terhakis. 

Kezaliman terbukti. 

Keraajan kalau kotor, 

masakan orang-orang bawahannya. 

Bangkit rakyat bangkit. 

Negara aman, rakyat selamat. 

Hanya satu caranya, undi. 

Undilah parti alternatif. 

Yang buruk, yang kotor, yang jahat, yang zalim, yang hina, yang binatang, yang lama, yang korup, yang kroni, yang racis, yang seksis, yang bodoh semua kita buang.

Saya suka guna benda bersih, dan saya akan guna sabun baru yang lebih bersih walaupun saya sedar suatu hari nanti sabun itu mungkin tidak sebersih dulu, tapi tidak salah untuk mencuba dan memberi peluang kepada harapan baru.

Democratising the rakyat

Filepic from Himpunan Mansuhkan ISA on 1/8/2009

You stand firm on the principal of democracy. You go against bad government. You speak up and articulate your thoughts. You create social awareness. You create fear to the people holding power. You got arrested. You are not given fair trial. Your voice is being suppressed.

Your image is ruined. Your family and friends are worried. You lost your job. You lost your dignity. You lost your rights.

You become the victim of democratization process for the betterment of the society and generations to come. The cost to pay is high.

No (only) in Malaysia

In Malaysia, any rally, protest, demonstration, assembly, gathering and picket that held to demand something from the Government, it’s illegal. Other than Government, it’s legal.

problem talking with a 'holy' man

It is a BIG problem when you talked to a so-called 'holy' person or a person who's so 'religious'. These people will never accept and cannot accept opinions from others. For them their religion is the best. Aih.. And i always sakit hati gunung berapi mau meletup talking to them. Not that i don't accept their religion but i just can't accept their mindset.

I found an old friend from primary school and he's a teacher now. I was so shocked that he has changed to that kind of person. Well, i don't feel comfortable talking to him as i feel he's very intimidating and scary. I don't like i when people try to convert me.

You see, all teh religions are right and pure, it's the people who are dirty, corrupted and go nuts.

Below are the converstations between us in Facebook. Ianya dalam bahasa Melayu. Kalau tak faham, gunalah Google Translate. Semoga ia dapat membantu mentranslatekan apa yang perlu ditranslate denagan translation yang betul.

Friend: Pengalaman menjalankan program perkampungan orang asli: waktu solat berjemaah di bilik...mereka memerhatikan di luar tingkap...moga mendapat petunjuk dan hidayah dari belenggu animisme.


Me:  belenggu aninisme? erm.. saya rasa kita tidak patut mengongkong atau cuba menyekat pemikiran dan cara hidup serta kepercayaan kaum lain. setiap kaum mempunyai kepercayaan mereka dan kita harus menghormatinya. Orang Asli tidak pernah dibelenggu aninisme tetapi hidup secara harmoni dan menghormati alam. adakah kita yang kononnya lebih memahami agama ini lebih taqwa taat dan memenuhi ajaran agama masing-masing? tepuk dada usah tanya selera. tanyalah iman tanyalah diri.


Friend: kawanku, dalam konteks ini saya tidak dapat membenarkan 100% apa yang diluahkan...bagi kami umat Islam, jalan ke pintu syurga menurut kaca mata Islam hanya satu iaitu melalui Islam itu sendiri malah dengan tegasnya saya berani katakan Islam... adalah cara hidup yang mesti dipunyai oleh semua makhluk..sebab itu saya mahu membebaskan pemikiran animisme kerana fitrahnya manusia hidup bertuhan dan kerana Dialah yang menciptakan segala-galanya...Hidup beragama juga mengajar kita akan kepatuhan dan tunduk kepada yang Maha satu bukannya pada Matahari, pokok, awan, lautan dan angin yang merupakan sebahagian unsur nikmat yang dikurniakan Allah kepada hambaNya...Soal menyatakan ketaqwaan dan keimanan bukan urusan kita..Jika manusia diberi kebebasan untuk menghukum ketaqwaan dan keimanan seseorang maka rosaklah dunia...saya tidak mahu menyekat pemikiran atau kepercayaan masyarakat lain, walaubagaimanapun ia merupakan tanggungjawab kami sebagai Islam yang akan dipersoalkan akan peranan kami di dunia dalam menyampaikan kebenaran...Tidak berguna kita beriman dan bertaqwa sekiranya yg sedikit itu tidak kita sampaikan maka diazab jualah kita...kami hanya sekadar menyampai risalah para nabi-nabi terdahulu..terpulang kepada masyarakat untuk menerimanya. Islam juga tidak pernah mendesak seseorang itu menerima Islam...carilah buku tentang bagaimana dan kenapa umat Islam perlu berdakwah dan kisah nabi terdahulu...Semua persoalan akan terjawab. Saya terbuka dalam hal ini.Harap perkara ini akan menjernihkan segala yg keruh.

Me: secara ringkasnya setiap individu mempunyai agama dan kepercayaan masing-masing. setiap agama mempunyai ajarannya masing-masing. dari cara percakapan sahabat, adakah saudara bermaksud agama Buddha, Kristian dan Hindu itu agama yang salah? Saudara bagaikan ingin merekrut bukan Islam untuk masuk Islam. Bagi saya ini adalah tidak patut jika seseorang itu telah beragama. Jangan secara sewenang-wenangnya melemparkan tuduhan melulu, tidak bernas secara membuta tuli bahawa seseorang itu dibelenggu aninisme. Atas dasar dan landasan apa didakwa mereka ini dibelenggu? Ini adalah satu penghinaan buat mereka. Walaupun saya bersetuju Islam agama yang baik dan suci tetapi adalah salah jika kita tetap dengan pendirian bahawa agama kita adalah yang terbaik dan agama yang lain tidak. Agama mengajar kita untuk berbaik-baik dan menghormati antara satu sama yang lain. Peranan sebagai umat kepada agama tertentu dengan bertindak terlalu ekstremis dan konservatif hanya akan mendatangkan musibah daripada keamanan. Lihat saja apa yang berlaku di negara asing di mana pertumpahan agama berlaku apabila penganut dua agama bertarung untuk menunjukkan kekuatan dan kebenaran agama masing-masing. Kalau suatu hari nanti, seseorang terbuka hatinya untuk menerima agama tertentu, ini bermakna dia telah menerima hidayahnya. Tidak perlu mereka dipaksa dan tidak perlu ditukar agama mereka dengan cara 'brainwash' atau gertakan. Saya menghormati agama Islam, saya ingin memahaminya dengan lebih mendalam lagi dan saya juga berharap saudara boleh berbuat perkara yang sama terhadap kami yang bukan Islam. Setiap orang ada kebebasan beragamanya. Saya tidak perlu masuk Islam untuk ke syurga kerana saya serta sahabat-sahabat bukan Islam yang lain juga mempunyai syurga kami sendiri. Treat others as you would like to be treated. ini hanyalah pandangan peribadi saya.

Happy International Women's Day

Happy International Women's Day to all the females in the world.

I know i am late 3 hours but still, Happy International Women's Day to all/

I really hope there'll be no more violence against women, no domestic abuse, no slavery, no misuse of women and no bad things against the women.

I also hope that there will be more feminism movements in this country.

say NO to gender discrimination!

men or women all are equal. when i say equel, means equality in treatment. u dun stupid come and tell me women can't be strong as man, standing while peeing, have penis, wear jeans, or have beard.

come la don't be so naive la.

equality means give equal treatment to women. if a man can get a good job, so does a hardworking and smart woman.

don't ever look down on the power and strength and ability and the spirit of women!

Women deserved love, care, attention, respect, understanding, and support like the men TOO.

We need each other to make this world better.

The world will never be a better olace without women.

Just think who does most of the hardworks especially in your life?

Your MOTHER la! And what is her gender?? Of course female la duh!! takkan your mother male meh!! dun tell me your matha is a man la! wat the heck!!

SO RESPECT WOMEN LIKE YOUR MOTHER!

Lastly, this is what i posted in my Facebook, "Happy International Women's Day. Let's be more respectful to them and treat them equally. When you wana do something bad on them, imagine they are like your mum too. becareful later kena ROTAN!"

Ok, my brain is hang! my brain is blank. i duno what i'm talking about. eye lids are gluing to each other. many people are still awake doing their assignments. good luck n rest early.

ok. tq. good nite. bye bye.
