I'm sharing my Merdeka thoughts with you guys.
I cut n paste from my blog.
:)
Why am I not out celebrating the countdown of Merdeka?
It's just another day to me. The only holiday I look forward to is Christmas people. I already see fireworks during New Year's Eve every year, which I think is more than enough. I don't have a fetish for anything pyro related. Once a year of massive fireworks is enough for me.
I also don't enjoy the sardine canning at most times. Plus, I'm not a drinker nor a party goer, so I rather have them holidays in a more conventional way. And you know what I think about celebrating Merdeka?
If I celebrate it, I would be lying to myself as I do not truly love Malaysia. You can't quite blame me can you? Our country is being governed by majority of almost no-brainers. I think our national anthem should be changed! Seriously, it's high time they do it. To what you ask? You know that song. "It's All About The Money"... or hang on we could also come up with one entitled "Melayu Sahaja Boleh, Malaysia Mana Boleh". What say you?
I'm not 100% anti-Malaysia but some of the facts are freaking obvious it's hard to ignore/deny. Our anti-theft/ anti-crime is even a bigger crying shame.
Shall I even venture into that topic?
No, I'd rather not. I don't want to dampen the spirits of those who celebrate and BELIEVE in MERDEKA DAY.
So run along and blow them whistles and be happy I guess.
To me, I will only celebrate Merdeka if and when the government stops practicing racism, and also if I experienced May 13th. It is only then, I will be proud to be a Malaysian. Otherwise? Pfft, I was only born here...not by choice.
For those who don't know what May 13th means, fucking shame on you. Don't call yourself a Malaysian.
Hee. Sorry. If you forgotten, I'm outspoken.
Nyahaha
*purrrrrr*
