I owe
Suria some of my flourless chocolate cake. I forgot to bake it. Sorry, Suria. I promise I'll bake one when I get back home, okies.
Anyway, referring to my blog post title, I know that I'm being a little bit mean. I am. I know that it is seldom for me to have mean streak but whatever it is, what I'm going to tell you definitely deserve a very mean title. Not just a mean title but a very condescending one.
Please read the newspaper article
here and a blog post
here. I know this is getting old but 8th October is coming soon.
I am not sure whether to be angry for the mean (note the understatement) things contained in the article and blog post or to laugh because despite its mean characteristics, it is stupid from the start. Stupid for them declare war on such small things, such as including a dance in an ad which was a very stupid mistake. The most you can do is find the company who put it in and get an injunction. Works better than war.
And about the migrant workers being treated unfairly here, hey
THOSE ARE FREAKING MINORITY CASES LAH WEI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Plus, it's a personal issue between the workers and employers. The workers can always sue the employers for being mistreated and if the case is of criminal matters, the police can always charge the employers. That's why there are legal systems and laws(duh!).
And once again, I think the people that are going to participate in this so-called war ("the people") must have not come across the word 'culture assimilation' and have not been paying attention in history class. If they do, they would not think of this crap anyway. It's stupid from the beginning.
Black magic? Samurai swords? Ninja sticks? Sharpened bamboo sticks? Don't make me laugh lah! This is the 21st century. if you guys want to fight, please do it the 21st century way. Which reminds me, are you guys really want to do war or are you want to dress up and play 'Ninja Avengers'? You guys are in the country where the most population consist of Muslims. Yet, you guys you use black magic and wage war (note that Islam FORBIDS such acts). Yeah, very Islamic. If I'm not mistaken, samurai swords and ninja sticks are from Japan. The people said that we stole the idea of our flag from America, our jata negara from Netherlands and our anthem from their song, Terang Bulan. Note that the song Mamoola Moon which melody inspired by a French classical piece from the 18th century (or 17th, please correct me here NICELY) is older than Terang Bulan. Netherlands and America doesn't seem to kick a fuss. The people can be compared to those obsessive anti-fans that you can find in Korean pop forums. Can I add that it's really hard for originality now? Some things are bound to be similar to each other and in rare cases freakishly similar. And, using Japanese weapons to war for your own cause???? Who's the maling now huh?
Please note that when I use the phrase "the people", I do not mean all people in Indonesia. What I meant is the people means people who signed up and participate to declare war on Malaysia. I believe Indonesians are very nice people and i have friends there. It is sad when bad apples somehow made an impression that everybody is like them. Not only Indonesia but other countries as well, including Malaysia. I'm sorry that I offended certain people. It's just I think this issue is so stupid. We should be focusing on other issues instead, like global warming, environment protection, world peace, how to better the nation's economy and other things.
