Politic itu Comel?!

Build Us An Efficient Public Transportation System ASAP

2008-07-05T10:15:00.000-07:00

Do we really need another "peaceful demo" in KL regarding the fuel hikes? Is it really going to make a difference?! Is that the best certain leaders can come up with?

Well I say! Why not MAKE a difference. Sure, we can protest and have street demos and voice out our anger etc, but is it effective?

I think people should be more rational and realistic, and instead of just whining and moaning and complaining, why not look for more constructive ways to look at and solve a problem? Like our friends here at http://www.pahlawan.com.my/ , they came up with a Directive that we can e-mail to our MPs and ADUNS concerning matters that concerns both you and me: public transportation.

I have an ideal outlook that, if all Malaysians embrace their "Spirit of Pahlawan", our country would be at a far better state :) :

"To restore the spirit of patriotism among Malaysians;
To face and deal with issues rationally;
To look at challenges with a solution-driven and Malaysian mindset. In other words,
Think Malaysian, do the right thing "

"Selective Perception" dan Isu Anwar

2008-06-29T23:59:00.000-07:00

Saya agak "amused" apabila isu Anwar muncul lagi. Seperti biasa, para blogger ada-ada aja akan mengemukakan teori dan spekulasi masing-masing mengenai isu ini. Menarik juga. Tetapi perlu difikirkan, sebagai seorang insan muda dan mentah seperti saya ini yang berfikiran terhad, nak pula mengenai isu-isu berat seperti politik dan konspirasi itu-ini, agak kasihan bila akan ada golongan yang akan membuta-tuli membuat pertuduhan untuk mendapat perhatian bagi pihak tertentu? Dan saya pasti mesti ada pihak yang TERPEDAYA dengan teori-teori spekulasi sensasi panas-panas ini.

***

Dipetik dari ruang komen dan blog:

Persoalan yang "nyata" mengenai isu Anwar di-ahem:
("Selective Perception" untuk pengikut setia Anwar)

1) Anwar telah di-set up untuk menjatuhkan karier politik beliau, justeru terkubur cita-cita beliau mahu mengambil alih kerajaan Persekutuan Malaysia?

2) Saiful itu orang kuat Najib kerana bergambar di Pejabat Najib, dan juga orang kuat BN kerana ada gambar dengan Menteri-menteri BN yang lain?

3) Anwar tidak bersalah dan telah difitnah, apatah lagi isteri dan anaknya masih menyokong penuh bahawa beliau sesungguhnya tidak bersalah?

4) Alasan "diliwat" adalah dakwaan yang tidak masuk akal kerana kes Anwar dahulu juga didakwa pertuduhan yang tidak benar?

Teori-teori HOT lain:
("Seleective Perception" bagi pihak yang anti-Anwar)

1) Ini adalah kerja Anwar Ibrahim jugak. Dia yang mengupah pekerjanya untuk membuat laporan Polis konon-kononnya diliwat. Supaya penyokong-penyokongnya akan fikir ini kerja BN?

2) Saiful digunakan untuk memburukkan lagi imej Pak Lah dan Najib, bahawa ini satu konspirasi BN, walhal menguatkan lagi kebencian kepada BN?

3) Jika laporan polis terhadap Anwar ini palsu (Saiful "dibeli"), Statutory Declaration oleh RPK terhadap Najib, Rosmah, dll juga palsu (RPK juga "dibeli")?

4) Isu ini dibangkitkan bukan sahaja untuk menjatuhkan Pak Lah, Najib (orang no. 1 dan 2 di Malaysia) tetapi juga Anwar (PM in waiting?) supaya orang lain yang boleh naik?

5) PKR yang memang sudah tahu Saiful dari dahulu adalah "spy BN" lantas mengambil peluang ini mengenakan balik kerajaan BN?

Aih, macam-macam kan? Kasihan pemerhati tepi jalan macam kami ni nak buat penilaian. Tapi perlu juga ingat, janganlah terlalu taksub kepada mana-mana pihak. Apa guna jika kita hanya menerima pendapat dan teori yang kita "fikir" adalah benar, semata-mata untuk mengukuhkan lagi kepada diri kita sendiri, bahawa apa yang kita fikirkan selama ini adalah benar... Itu namanya "selective perception"- You only believe what you expect.

Politik MEMANG comel.

“Someone is lying, but who?”

The above is the line most commonly seen if we browse through the political blogs these days. To say the bombshell dropped in the form of a statutory declaration (SD) made by Raja Petra Kamarudin (RPK) has been sensational is an understatement.

The citizens court judging, name-calling, motives-speculating have become the things to do these days. In the midst of all these, it is worth bearing in mind the ways in which the legal institutions and the rule of law can be easily invoked and exploited to further one’s ambitious political mileage. We don’t have to go through the historical ugly past of our judiciary to understand this point. Yet I see that certain quarters have been quick to conclude that since it is a document which carries the force of law, there must be a certain degree of truth behind the declaration.

Now I am neither supporting nor against any party, I ask for the truth and justice be done to a woman with such misfortune and her family. But what I wish to highlight here may be much to the dismay of certain well-intended parties who are correctly concerned that the media glare and diverted attention might be detrimental to the objective enquiry that this case is called for.

What I’m trying to bring to light is that, arguably (and evidentially) some people think that RPK will be foolish to risk his neck for making a false SD, and hence this lends weight to the believe that there must be a certain degree of truth in what he alleged. However, it is worth noting that the connection between RPK and Anwar is by no means subtle. RPK played a significant role in the events leading up to the March General Election, and was a key-figure of the Free Anwar Movement. If viewed with that in mind, it is not too remote to see RPK playing the role of a kingmaker. And if Anwar manages to get enough defections to take over the Federal Government come Sept 16^th as claimed, then the kingmaker will be rewarded very handsomely indeed, yes? By act AND omission. Do remember that the state only presses charges if initiated by the AG, and the AG serves the present day government. Yes RPK is facing a sedition charge, but the trial is only commencing in October. And if this theory holds, it matters not whether what is claimed in that SD is truthful at all, if it merely forms part of the plan to dismantle the present day government.

This angle contributes to a different answer that can be formed to the question of RPK’s motive in making the SD. Now I as in everyone else know not who is telling the truth here, but I see a great distortion that the blogsphere is taking on, that one man MUST be telling the truth and the others must be lying.

Bodoh dan Stupid Online... Comel kah?

The blogosphere is the avenue for freedom of speech and for us to sometimes vent out our frustrations about whatever. BUT. As one of our leader says: "There is no such thing as unlimited freedom in Malaysia". Or in superhero-style speech: "With freedom, comes responsibilities." So it is a little bit depressing to see fellow Malaysians misusing their right to free and democratic speech on the internet.

So I'm wondering:

1) Are these people really that angry to spew such things?
2) Are these actual fellow Malaysians that we bump on the streets?
3) Are these products of 50 years of Independence?

OR

1) Are these people paid for to purposely ignite hatred on the internet?
2) Are these commentors somehow brainwashed by certain parties for these views?
3) Are these people a set of monsters being employed for certain purposes?

Mengapa ada yang berkata politik itu bosan? Siapa pula menyatakan politik itu untuk orang tua-tua sahaja? Siapa pula kata politik itu sesuatu yang serius dan kompleks?

"Kita adalah apa yang kita fikirkan" (You are what you think).

"I think, therefore I am" (Apa yang saya fikir, itulah SAYA)

Jadi mengapa sempitkan minda kita terhadap politik, sebagai sesuatu yang tertakluk kepada stereotaip dan terhad di dalam kotak? Fikirlah di luar kotak! Lebih bagus lagi, fikirlah TANPA kotak :)

Itulah kami. Kami membawa persoalan "Politic itu Comel?!" Sediakanlah minda anda untuk menerima perspektif kami... :)
