Saya Sokong Lim Kit Siang !

  UPDATE 06/10/10

Baguslah. Berita kat TV dah pun mula bercakap tentang usaha pendaulatan Bahasa Kebangsaan. DPM sendiri telahpun membuat kenyataan mengenainya (Utusan Online di sini). Kerajaan Negeri Melaka pun (Lagi dari Utusan Online).

"Satu Bangsa, Satu Negara, Satu Bahasa" adalah slogan yang "HIDUP". RTM menyiarkan nyanyian slogan ini. Kedua-dua Berita Utusan Onlne yang dipautkan di atas pun ada menyebut, cuma dituliskan "1Bahasa, 1Bangsa, 1Negara"... ikut 1Malaysia la... jangan jadi MACAM INI sudah la. Slogan yang ini orang tidak faham. Tulis "Satu" tapi menyeru kepada "Pelbagai", "Perbezaan". Slogan ini akan mati, sebab orang "konpius".

Saya kurang setuju kenapa soal memertabatkan Bahasa Kebangsaan ini perlu dikempen-kempenkan dan dipujuk rayu. Ia sepatutnya dikenakan tindakan tegas mengikut peruntukan undang-undang dan Perlembagaan. Tetapi memandangkan ianya telah lama dibiarkan tanpa diambil peduli, it is something rather than nothing. Harapnya usaha ini diteruskan dengan semakin giat sehingga Bahasa Kebangsaan benar-benar dimertabatkan. Jangan jadi macam namawee yang sepatutnya dah lama disumbat dalam jel, kalau tidak dihalau keluar negara atas usaha-usahanya dalam memarakkan api perkauman.

So PBT! Apa lagi? Silalah  "BERKHIDMAT UNTUK NEGARA", demi Negara dan Bangsa!

  ORIGINAL ENTRY (05/10/10)

Tajuk artikel Lim Kit Siang baru-baru ini berbunyi:-

"Let Najib declare on his return from his “Rise, Moderates” speech in UN whether he is prepared to “galvanise” the moderates in Malaysia to draw the line against the rise in extremism, whether racial bigotry or religious intolerance, led by DPM Muhyiddin"

Saya sokong !!!...

Marilah bersama-sama Lim Kit Siang untuk menyeru DS Najib supaya perkara-perkara berikut ini terlaksana:-

• transformasi parti DAP supaya ianya bukan lagi sebuah parti ultra-kiasu chauvinis cina. Buktikan "Malaysian Malaysia"nya tiada unsur perkauman cina

• supaya DAP dan juga Gerakan membuktikan bahawa tiada sebarang rasa simpati kepada anggota-anggota komunis yang pernah suatu ketika dahulu begitu ekstrim dengan keganasan di bumi ini

• parti-parti DAP, Gerakan dan MCA bersama-sama menolak serta menggesa pertubuhan-pertubuhan cina seperti Dong Zong itu supaya berhenti mendesak kerajaan dengan desakan-desakan perkauman seperti kewujudan sekolah-sekolah vernakular dan bantuan berbentuk kewangan baik dari segi infra-struktur ataupun biasasiswa kepada sekolah-sekolah aliran pendidikan asing ini. Beri suatu "lecture" yang berkesan kepada DS Najib dan TS Muhyiddin bahawa perkara-perkara seperti ini tiadapun di sebut dalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan negara ini.

• mendesak kerajaan supaya Bahasa Kebangsaan didaulat sebagaimana yang diperuntukkan oleh Perlembagaan serta Akta Bahasa dengan menurunkan semua papan-papan tanda, iklan, banner, kepala surat menyurat rasmi parti DAP, MCA, Gerakan dan sebagainya itu yang menggunakan bahasa cina.  Pastikan hanya bahasa Kebangsaan dan Bahasa Kedua digunakan dalam setiap apa jua perkarapun di bumi ini termasuklah segala bentuk komunikasi di antara semua warga negara ini.

• memastikan KDN mengambil tindakan sewajarnya ke atas namewee yang belum henti-henti lagi menimbulkan ketengangan perkauman sehingga kini. Dan juga kepada sesetengah golongan itu yang masih lagi memainkan isu sensitif agama.

Banyak lagi perkara-perkara seumpamanya boleh disenaraikan untuk menolak "extremism" perkauman ini  yang mana ianya juga telah membuat DS Najib terhimpit sehinggakan tampak beliau mengamalkan sikap "apologetik" yang tiada berkesudahan.

Tanpa DAP, Gerakan dan MCA yang nampaknya bersimpati dengan keganasan ekstrim komunis serta permainan api perkauman ekstrim dari namewee, maka tidak perlulah ada pihak-pihak yang diketuai oleh DPM, bersuara lantang untuk membela,  seperti yang dituduh oleh Lim Kit Siang itu. Bukan begitu?

Dan kita minta Lim Kit Siang membuat seruan itu dalam Bahasa Kebangsaan yang tidak pelat-pelat ataupun "lari makna" sebagaimana seorang warganegara Malaysia yang sempurna. Okay?

THE NUMBER ONE RACIST IN THIS COUNTRY

I have read the article below a couple of years ago. I could not blog it earlier since I could not find it in my email collection box. After sometime, here is the article again, received via another email. 

Remember, next time you want to accuse someone of being "malas and lembab". That someone may be a sloth to you, but he may live a much fuller life than you.

It's been 18 years since I joined Volvo, a Swedish company. Working for them has proven to be an interesting experience. Any project here takes 2 years to be finalized, even if the idea is simple and brilliant. It's a rule.

Globalized processes have caused in us (all over the world) a general sense of searching for immediate results.

Therefore, we have come to possess a need to see immediate results.

This contrasts greatly with the slow movements of the Swedish. They, on the other hand, debate, debate, debate, hold x quantity of meetings and work with a slowdown scheme. At the end, this always yields better results.

1. Sweden has 2 million inhabitants.
2. Stockholm has 500,000 people.
3. Volvo, Escania, Ericsson, Electrolux, are some of its renowned companies. Volvo even supplies NASA.

The first time I was in Sweden, one of my colleagues picked me up at the hotel every morning. It was September, bit cold and snowy. We would arrive early at the company and he would park far away from the entrance (2000 employees drive their car to work).

The first day, I didn't say anything, neither the second or third days. One morning I asked him,

"Do you have a fixed parking space?"

I've noticed we park far from the entrance even when there are no other cars in the lot. To which he replied,

"Since we're here early we'll have time to walk, don't you think that whoever gets in late will need a place closer to the door?"

Imagine my face.

Nowadays, there's a movement in Europe named Slow Food. This movement establishes that people should eat and drink slowly, with enough time to taste their food, spend time with the family, friends, without rushing. Slow Food is against its counterpart, Fast Food and what it stands for as a lifestyle. Slow Food is the basis for a bigger movement called Slow Europe, as mentioned by Business Week.

Basically, the movement questions the sense of "hurry" and "craziness" generated by globalization, fuelled by the desire of "having in quantity" (life status) versus "having with quality", "life quality" or the "quality of being".

French people, even though they work 35 hours per week, are more productive than Americans or British. Germans have established 28.8 hour workweeks and have seen their productivity driven up by 20%.

This slow attitude has come to the notice of USA , the pupils of the fast and "do it now" brigade. This no-rush attitude doesn't represent doing less or having a lower productivity.

It means working and doing things with greater quality, productivity, perfection, with attention to detail and less stress.

It means taking humans' essential values, the simplicity of living. It stands for a less coercive work environment, more happy, lighter and more productive work place where humans enjoy doing what they know best how to do.

It's time to stop and think on how companies need to develop serious quality with no-rush that will increase productivity and the quality of products and services, without losing the essence.

Many of us live our lives running behind time, but we only reach it when we die of a heart attack or in a car accident rushing to be on time. Others are so anxious to live for the future that they forget to live the present, which is the only time that truly exists.

We all have equal time throughout the world. No one has more or less. The difference lies in how each one of us does with our time. We need to live each moment.
