boycott, motherland

1) BoycottToday is a month and a day after humanitarian aid ship, Mavi Marmara and her six vessels were attacked by the rogue state, Israel which killed at least 9 and injured many others. Israel received spontaneous condemnation from the world except from her very close ally, U.S. Israel is fast in diverting public opinion by alleging the ship as a hate ship, not a love ship. As it is hard to digest by logic, Israel insisted to run her own investigation on her own crime but nothing is impossible since Israel is always above the law. The Jewish state seems invincible because the economy, politic and media are controlled by them. as Mahathir once said, "Jews rule world by proxy". Thus as a human who wants justice, who refuses to let my money to be used in killing and hurting others, i would like to call again and again to boycott products from Israel and from companies who support them. I admit that their products quality is so good and no other products could surpass theirs yet, but we won't die if we don't buy them but people will die if we do. And I really hope the boycott is not temporary but long lasting. Please remember the faces of those who are dying in Gaza when you feel the urge to buy the products. They need us..


2) Motherland

I don't know whether I'm the right person to say this. Whether I'm qualified enough to speak about it. I am a daughter of an immigrant and a local couple. I am classified by constitution as Malay who is Muslim and practice Malay adat. I'm not good in politic. Hell i will avoid to discuss about it. But even so, I still feel sad, I feel threatened. I feel that in no time this land will no longer be ours, the land will be snatched from us right in front of our eyes. I'm not sure who the snatchers would be, maybe the people from inside, maybe from outside. Who knows. Geographically,in south east Asia, there are only 3 countries where the majority are Muslims, namely Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei. But we are not in a good term with our neighbors. For me it's important if we could maintain this because Muslim minority in all over the world are suppressed and I feel lucky I could practice what I believe freely without fear in this country. But who knows will this be the same in the future?
Call me pessimistic, call me negative, but I fear that this country will end up like Palestine if we keep on sleeping. I know Malaysia is not part of the promised land but still, the land is precious to us.
If that happen, will i blame the evil snatcher?
No, i will blame the weak us, the sleeping us, the lazy us. The us that like to fight each other for power and money. The us that like to bribe and be bribed. The us who fail to recognize who to fight and who to befriend. The us who cannot walk without walking stick. The us who cannot stand without somebody to pull. The us who cannot move forward without being pushed. I hope I can break free from the curse that entangle us..

Lirik Anak Kecil Main Api (Versi Lama)

Anak kecil main api
Terbakar hatinya yang sepi
Air mata darah bercampur keringat
Bumi dipijak milik orang

Nenek moyang kaya-raya
Tergadai seluruh harta benda
Akibat sengketa sesamalah kita
Cinta lenyap di arus zaman

Indahnya bumi kita ini
Warisan berkurun lamanya
Hasil mengalir ke tangan yang lain
Peribumi merintih sendiri

Masa depan sungguh kelam
Kan lenyap peristiwa semalam
Tertutuplah hati terkunci mati
Maruah peribadi dah hilang

Kini kita cuma tinggal kuasa
Yang akan menentukan bangsa
Bersatulah hati bersama berbakti
Pulih kembali harga diri

Kita sudah tiada masa
Majulah dengan maha perkasa
Janganlah terlalai teruskan usaha
Melayu kan gagah di nusantara
Melayu kan gagah di nusantara
Melayu kan gagah di nusantara
