Food Hijacking? Don't be stupid


"We cannot continue to let other countries hijack our food. Chilli crab is Malaysian. Hainanese chicken rice is Malaysian. We have to lay claim to our food,” she told reporters after launching the Malaysia International Gourmet Festival yesterday."

More, Just read THIS

When Indonesians started to claim everything that we have eaten since we were born to be solely theirs, i instantly think what nonsense they are talking about. Food supposed to be be enjoyed, no to fight over. isn't it nice to know that our preference and our happiness when enjoying the cuisine are also enjoyed by others regardless what their countries and races are. i even thought the silence of Malaysians over food war with Indonesians reflect how mature Malaysians are.

However my thought is shattered when i found a news on Malaysian's food being hijacked by other countries. what the heck. food is not like a plane to be hijacked for. if there are similarities or even the exact same food are being served by others, let it be. that means our food has gone international. what right do we have to stop others to eat the food that we also eat. we do not live in isolated world, so just share what is good and hinder what is bad. I'm afraid this issue will reveal our stupidity and we will be mocked over by the people of the world. Really, how third class mentality do we have here. If you don't want the food to be shared, then don't write recipe books, don't do TV show on food and don't even cook the food.

Geez, we are supposed to go forward, but we actually go backward. We insult on others' stupidity but we don't realize we are also stupid. Just stop being so childish. Even kids can share their candies, why can't we??

Biadap? Bodoh? Tak bertamadun?


Sila baca
Dan ini kata mereka --> baca

Dan ini pula kata aku:

Aku sungguh sudah muak dengan isu yang sungguh bodoh pada kiraanku. Kebodohan, keangkuhan, kedengkian terpancar dari setiap gerak laku manusia yang mana darah keturunannya juga mengalir dalam setiap pembuluh darahku. Aku bukan orang lain, aku wujud dari darah kamu (indonesia) dan darah mereka (malaysia). aku sungguh tak mengerti ke mana hilangnya sikap tolak ansur, ke mana hilangnya budi pekerti, ke mana hilangnya sopan santun. Aku sungguh tak faham adakah otak dan akal yang dianugerahkan kepada hanya insan itu digunakan sepenuhnya. Tidak adakah tatabahasa selain maling, curi, rompak dalam kamus otak mereka. Manusia hidup di bumi bersama dan berinteraksi sesama mereka. Jikalau dahulu, manusia berperang kerana perbezaan antara mereka, tapi kini kita pula mahu berperang kerana kita serupa. Sungguh menyedihkan. Kita hanya berbeza oleh tanah yang hanya nama berbeza, tekstur dan fizikalnya sama. Sebelum tanah ini diberi nama, kita adalah kita, kamu adalah aku dan aku adalah kamu. Sejarah manusia bukan hanya bermula berdekad dahulu, sudah berabad dan lebih dari itu. Oleh itu, kenapa tidak panjangkan fikiran kamu, luaskan pandangan kamu, fikirkan kenapa dan logiknya aku, kamu dan mereka iaitu kita serupa dan hanya sedikit berbeza. Sesungguhnya aku juga sebahagian dari kamu. Kamu mencerca, tapi akhirnya kamu sendiri yang kena.

Kata-kata hari ini:

"Jika kamu mahu usir orang asing dari tanah kamu, kenapa tidak panggil pulang orang kamu dari tanah asing dahulu?"
