My Merdeka ;)

I wake up early in the morning today and sing Negaraku :) Happy Merdeka Day to you & me! I made myself a home video, a video-log for this special 50th birthday. It is quite meaningful moment for myself. Well, for quite couple of reasons you know, like doing reflection on the meaning of Merdeka, about namewee incident and racial problems and politics and so on. And ya, for meeting some nice people while blogging on namewee issue.

Oh, and of cause, I did remember to wear my black shirt today as well ;)



p/s: Due to YouTube is currently down for uploading video, I use DivShare. (I love their service!)
p/p/s: You got a video-log on Merdeka too? Share with me ya!

Currently quite active in my another blog, check it out when you are free (using RSS would be better).

網路三寶

不知道你有沒有聽過網路革命已經發生？網路科技已經改朝換代？是的，我要說的是 Web 2.0（如果你已經知道，那就略過吧）。關於 Web 2.0 為何物，O'reilly 做了相當長篇的解釋，我這邊就廢話少說了（Evonne 說我 blog 得太精簡，每次都有很多的延伸閱讀連結，忙的時候會懶得去閱讀。我覺得這樣很好，現在的資訊太多了，網路上到處都是「貼文」，浪費資源。我們都很忙，不斷的吸收資訊，腦子也太累了，再下去搞不好會網路過動 ADHD。所以就隨性自由自在的閱讀吧，有興趣再仔細看）。

接下來就是正題了，介紹我所謂的網路三寶－－RSS，wiki，Social Networking。一下子就介紹三個會不會消化不來？我想是會，所以我也不想說太多，直接看影片學還比較快（影片就在 hyperlink 中）。

有一本漫畫

在我來台灣念書之前，我一直在找這本漫畫《天外福星》，但是因為是舊漫畫，所以不好找，去問 Suria KLCC 的 Kinokuniya 也說沒有貨，問他能不能從台灣調過來，他說要等一個月。又因為一個月後我的人已經在台灣了，所以就沒有需要了，等我到台灣後再找吧。之後這件事就放在一旁，一直到這個月，我從網路上下載了這本漫畫。不是不想賣，只是這本漫畫已經很難找到了，有人在網路上賣二手的，雖然很便宜，但是他人在高雄，太遠了。

網路上的簡介很簡單

卡那伊星人渡邊，乘著飛碟來到了地球！是為了征服地球而來的前哨？或是逃難而來尋求援助？不！他只是為了做以「地球人的生活」為題目的大學畢業論文才千里迢迢來到了地球......！！

作者：窪之內英策

漫畫共有三冊(.7z)：【一】【二】【三】

CDisplayEx 可以讓你在電腦上面看漫畫更方便（不用解壓縮檔案）也更舒適。閱讀愉快！

假的國慶快到了

自明志事件開始，我就一直再寫另一個 blog，自己不知不覺的就變得很熱衷於這件事，就像我之前身邊的台灣朋友熱衷於樂生運動一樣。我覺得我在主動參與一個社會運動（是不是我不太確定，但我覺得它慢慢在形成），一個推動愛國精神和捍衛言論自由的運動。說起來，這個社會運動也真的太妙了，我們都在虛擬的環境中以匿名的方式熱烈的討論、辯論，甚至叫囂對罵，很有趣！

這真得很有趣，因為在實際生活上，我們的言論自由已經被剝奪很久了！我們不討論政治，我們害怕說錯話，我們害怕自己成為另一個 Anuar (black eye boy) ;) 但是在網際網路的時代，我們彷彿自由了，雖然是假的，我們都躲在匿名下，但是重點是我們找回了我們的聲音！就連那些之前以為我們都對政治冷感的政客，都說他們找到了「新」的聲音，紛紛要招明志入黨！政客啊，你們也太低級了吧？

關於為什麼我們的國慶是假的這件事，我也不想多說了，請轉台吧。

Merdeka Statement

To all my dear Malaysian friends, thanks for visiting my blog since the beginning. Today I am proud to share with you this little piece of statement, a Merdeka Statement launched by CPPS. I stand still here today, across the big ocean, speaking aloud my presence as a truly Malaysian, committed to be a Bangsa Malaysia, spreading the words among my friends here, and I hope that you can join me by doing the same thing. Lets stand up NOW and be proud to be a Malaysian and WE shall see a brighter future for Malaysia in future.

Merdeka Statement

In the struggles towards forging a national identity, great efforts have been taken to strengthen national unity in the country, which must be supported by all. However, recently the state of unity has been fraying at the edges. Ethnic, linguistic and religious divides have deepened, causing genuine pain and hurt to many in our nation. Such a fragile state of unity should not have happened after 50 years of nation building. New sustained efforts are urgently needed to rebuild our National Unity.

WE BELIEVE THAT:

• The current National Unity Advisory Panel, under the Jabatan Perpaduan Negara & Integrasi Nasional, should be made an independent National Unity & Integration Commission, empowered to review legislation, policies and practices that impede on national unity, investigate complaints of ethnic, linguistic and religious discrimination both in Government and the private sector; made answerable to Parliament and chaired by reputable and credible individuals; and include a Truth and Reconciliation Committee, which will serve to grapple with key incidents of conflict and hurt in the country’s past, which is an important and necessary part of the healing of the national psyche, in the road towards a peaceful shared future.
• All new policies should be tested against the tenets of the Federal Constitution and the Rukunegara - no policy formulated should becontrary to the spirit of the values contained therein.
• An independent and transparent National Consultative Council on Vision 2020 should be established immediately, for representatives from the Government, private sector businesses, academia, media and civil society to discuss progress towards Vision 2020 and beyond.
• A National Research Institute on Ethnic Relations should be established as a centre that co-ordinates in-depth research on Ethnic Relations and Culture, compiling stories of inter-ethnic cooperation and mutual assistance.
• Public-Private Partnerships to strengthen National Unity should be launched at all levels and in all sectors.
• Islam is the religion of the Federation of Malaysia as clearly set out in the Federal Constitution. The freedom to profess and practice the religions of choice as enshrined in the Federal Constitution does not threaten this position. The Government has committed itself to the principles of freedom, protection of minorities and universal values, values of which must be continuously and relentlessly upheld for the sake of all Malaysians.
• Any extremism in the form and shape of ethnicity, religion and gender should not be propagated or tolerated at any level.

WE BELIEVE THAT THE FEDERAL CONSTITUTION AS SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND IS THE PRIMARY REFERENCE POINT FOR STRENGTHENING NATIONAL UNITY, AND THAT ALL NATIONAL POLICIES SHOULD BE TESTED AGAINST ITS CENTRAL TENETS.

我的名字叫明志

原本沒有想要在這裡跟大家說我又開了一個新的 blog，但是因為最近台灣某家電視台已經播出這個新聞，所以想說既然已經公開了，那就讓更多人知道吧，反正我覺得這不是壞事。

生活中心／綜合報導

族群問題在馬來西亞一直備受爭議，一名來自馬來西亞的僑生，將馬來西亞的國歌改編後放上網路，內容批評馬來西亞政府制度不公，打壓華人，引起馬國政府警告，甚至不排除對他提出告訴，現在這段影片在網路發燒，不少網友紛紛上網聲援，要馬來西亞政府別小題大作。

穿著黑色POLO衫手拿麥克風，唱歌的人是馬來西亞僑生，用RAP的方式改編馬來西亞國歌。

馬來西亞僑生：我愛我的國家．有國才有家．有家才有我．站在這邊跟你大聲唱歌你麥驚．雖然我每次罵粗話．我的歌就像榴槤一樣．硬硬尖尖只是」

歌名就叫「我愛我的國家Negarakuku」，乍聽之下沒什麼，不過仔細聽聽下面這一段。

馬來西亞僑生：我們的警察叫做MATA．因為他們的眼睛很亮．新年一到他們就很努力．拿住筆可是很會少跟你開單．因為他們口很渴需要喝茶．還有kpo要不要加糖．如果加糖．他嘴巴會甜甜跟你微笑．你要離開的時候」

歌詞中，黃明志對馬來西亞政府的不滿與抱怨毫不掩飾，不但用「還沒斷奶」來影射馬國土族接受當地政府的保護政策，對於馬來西亞的教育制度也沒忘了批判。

馬來西亞僑生：世界各地都會看到Malaysia的小孩．好像逃難一樣西北爽．2007馬來西亞搞觀光．獨中生政府根本不想管．文憑丟Longkang像我一樣．中化畢業去了台灣．學了東西準備回去報答國家．我站在台北路邊拿住Guiter．可是我的嘴巴還是一樣唱」

由於歌曲部分內容涉及國家形象問題，已經引起馬國政府注意，甚至有媒體指出，馬來西亞新聞局已經展開調查，並且不排除採取法律行動，現在這段影片在網路發燒，不少網友上網聲援，希望能藉由輿論呼籲馬來西亞政府，輕鬆看待年輕人的創意。
