According to the statement the leaders of MCA, the National Archives have agreed to build a memorial Tan Cheng Lock, next to the Memorial Tunku Abdul Rahman. Extension of the first Parliament building in Jalan Dato 'Onn in Kuala Lumpur, will be converted into a memorial, which cost about RM10 million, starting next year.According to the MCA, the memorial service to commemorate an important national figure who is also their first president.
If so, my memory to the National Archives, in order to reflect back. I do not forbid, do not support. But remember, Malaysian politics is based on racial politics. Enough with the memorial a number of national leaders. I fear that soon, all the ethnic parties in the country, including Sabah and Sarawak also wanted the memorial built to commemorate their leader, no less deserving, according to the time traveled. Let alone in terms of rights, they are entitled, because they are indigenous.
We need to understand, all leaders in different epochs. It is less offensive if we said that history is an important moment of its independence only in assessing the contribution of one of the country.All the history of the struggle to defend the homeland from invasion traveled our country, is important. My question, what is the index (KPI) used in evaluating the contribution of a person, the actual history? historical truth? history of deliberate or extended for specific purposes?
In understanding the politics of Malaysia, we always play belitkan and history to narrow the scope of self-interest, people and party. No other purpose, that we or our nation's leaders looked great. Services not only remember a moment when the country achieved independence by August 31, 1957, until we forget the figures are more meritorious before it? Why are we evaluating shallow and appreciate the history?
Remember, not only the history of the Malay-started in 1940, but the history of the struggle for independence had begun since the start of Malaya 'occupied'. I was not comfortable using the word 'occupied'.Malaya did not invade directly in the context of the real for the institution of Malay rulers still existed, except the states of the Straits. Meaning, the history of the struggle began before the independent homeland for hundreds of years ago, far more important, because many lives lost and blood spilled to worship the earth.
In short, against the colonial history began before the mass migration occurs. The Malays, Islam has a long rise, but still managed to drive the full occupation, but their sacrifice is not a standard compare. To me, they are more deserving than others. Take a look at the background I have some figures, such as Tok Beard, Dato Maharaja lela, Mat Salleh, Dato 'Bahaman, Mat Kilau and many others before it.Why call only if the country's independence history, then the head of our minds is the stereotypical faces every year?
By independence leaders equally as Dato Onn Jaafar, Dr Burhanuddin Helmi, Ahmad Boestamam, Mustapha Hussein, and many more rarely mentioned. To me, they are also entitled to set up a memorial, because they were defending their lives. While the moment of independence is a negotiation process occurs after the pressure, demands and struggles before. Let us review the historical moments between 1940-1948, who is actually a freedom fighter? Who is against the Malayan Union? Is the Muslim Malay, Malayan People's Anti-Japanese Army (MPAJA), MCA, MIC or the Communist Party of Malaya?
Sometimes I do not know whether those at the National Archives knew or responsibilities and scope their work.
Remember the figures are not necessarily to build the memorial.Many other methods can be used. Prior to that, I would think, write and understand the past history of the Malay well. Do not also political. Hearts of the people who study the history of due care and literacy as well.
After this I fear there are those who claim that the memorial Lim Chong Eu (Movement), Tan Siew Sin (MCA) followed by subsequent leaders. Do not look at people their own fun. 1Malaysia idea, we want to see and care for other people. The first movement leaders like Syed Hussien Al-Atas, the contribution is rarely mentioned. I suggest magnified Memorial Tunku Abdul Rahman and download all the contributions of all the characters in a memorial, the memorial built for the memorial on specific names.
Enough with the memorial of the Malayan People's Anti-Japanese Army (MPAJA), which was erected without the consent of the state and central, but will also set up which has become the center of worship in the Garden of Remembrance value, although disputed by historical figures before, the role of MPAJA in the fight for independence. MPAJA claimed by some as a freedom fighter, wal actual case. MPAJA is a wing of the Communist Party of Malaya (CPM) is ambitious for control of Malaya when the Japanese surrendered.The existence of this left-wing parties due to their hostility to Japan is not about freeing the Malay Peninsula.
We must remember that every figure has a legend of their own because they live in different times. We can not equate the role of Tunku the role of Mahathir, for example because they struggle at different times. If that is the valuations, I would say Mahathir's services more than Tunku services, as Mahathir became PM later than the Tunku. Certainly contributed more time to lead the country.Kitapun been able to see the results today. What we will build the memorial each PM and the leaders of the party? I fear that after this country is filled with memorials.
I think it's time we plan to build the future by ensuring that people understand the real history of the talks to build a memorial. By increasing our memorial will be more patriotic. What is more important is organizing agenda to instill patriotism among the people.Make sure they mencinta country more than love people, love the national language more than language itself, the school loved all over the school itself. Caring for a leader who died because too many sacrifices from the leaders who have sacrificed, but not killed.
To me, all the leaders in his honor entitled to be remembered, because they are privileged to be elected a leader. But we are not too aware of, and thus said: "If there is no Tunku, Cheng Lock and Sambhantan independent nation will not." Leaders come and go. Grow lost Patah changed. Some of the leaders have their own legend and his honor. World and the country will continue to move and rotate over time. Coating and are not to be served afterwards.
Who is the rule, the struggle must continue. Countries will continue to develop. We can not be static and rigid. North Korea continued to fear the world even if we assume that their leader is not democratic and outdated with the understanding komunisnya. True, the people and relatively poor country, but they are happy and proud of the power of nuclear technologies and their defense to frighten the West.Will it have less campurnya? Weak there, loud here. The purpose, there are advantages and disadvantages. Leaders they served, even though the world may condemn.
Hitler is said to be cruel and wrong is still served in his time. Most do not, at least to remind Hitler and the Jews who realize we really?Remember we are the words of Hitler why he was acting to kill the Jews in his book 'Mein Kampf'? He said: "I can kill all Jews when I was in charge. But I left a little to you. Why? that you recognize the Jews, and find the answer why I kill the Jews. "
Hitler's words are a great means for us to learn and study the Jewish psiki. Why this Jew can become a powerful nation despite the very small numbers. Jews were not pentingkan individual services, but the Jews are concerned about the country and the future and survival of their nation. Strength properties that make this very prominent, especially in information technology and defense. Why do we think to that?
I study a little arrogant nation psiki this. When they successfully stepped in Palestine, Jews and defense technology to develop them first. These properties are also copied by the ultra kiasu south of the country. Once they are really strong, then they develop other sources.Today Israel has proven to be a successful world power. Although the country is just as much as ants, but feared the country of elephants.Israel captured the whole world is watching the ship humanitarian aid mission to Gaza. Who dare to reprove Israel? Israel has become too strong to be difficult to penetrate. This little country has become too strong to be difficult to overcome in the event of war.
So as we see them as brave, including the country's ultra kiasu.Everyday we hear they are invading the air space and sovereignty of our country. What can we do? We can only give a warning for the warning. But are ignored? Our brave fire fighters of their ship after clear invading our sovereignty? I think we will be bold if we force than or equal to this small Jewish. But our strength with the Jews is very much smaller in terms of armament and defense technology. They are rarely damaged the submarine, while the new submarines we buy are damaged. That's not including the jet engine was missing. Imagine when the war actually happened, when jet fighters want to move, suddenly the engine can not be turned on, look, we know how it looks new jet can not fly because the engine is missing. Can we survive then?
