Recently, I watched a television program that disucss on how to difnify our national language, Bahasa Melayu and I was inspired.
However, I didn't want to talk much initially since the discussion on matters regarding our Bahasa Kebangsaan was made so taboo by our first class mentality government.
However, after realising that there should be a holistic mind and to be awake from our mistakes, I call for this consideration.
First of all, what is Bahasa Malaysia?
National Language. Yes! It's the national language.
More example, they are similarly as how we call the National Museum, National Mosque, National Park and etc.
They represent our Malaysians' standard of civilisation, sociocultural background, and way of lifestyle.
In other words, they represent our nation.
However, is it logic to agree that we should disallow idea to build a Museum or a Mosque that may stand better than our "Nationals" one?
Maybe, simply because they feel that it will disgrace or dismiss our National Museum or National
Mosque.
Yes, everyone of us realise there is still some "Jaguh Kampungs" that have this mentality.
When I say that, it means the Government even the Opposition and also the "pro-mother tongue".
They point out that it will destroy our National Language forever from this Land. It will be a shame. It shows disrespect. We will forget our identity and di da di da this people can ever think just to influence the rakyat.
They disallow and decelerate progress when we have to adapt relevant changes.
That changes include picking up new languages other than the National Language.
All this protesters that attack blindly simply NOT because they love the language, not because they are fighters for the people but because they are POLITICIANS.
They manipulate facts, they misinterpret the truth, they blindfold the people in the "kampungs" because they want to seek VOTES.
They are prejudice. They are hypocrite. They are narrow-minded. They are catching for the limelight. They are achieving for cheap publicity.
Because the truth is that we can still develop, we are still proud of our very own National Language even if we master other languages because National Language will always be our National Language and we, Malaysians understand that very well.
However, at the same time we realise the needs of inquiring other languages and I mean any languages because I am not prejudice to Bahasa Malaysia and hoo-haa for only English, in case if anyone of you that think it that way.
Think!! How on Earth in this modernized world to survive with only two languages including our mother tongue especially the main ethnics in Malaysia such as the Chinese and the Indians?
Those Jaguh Kampungs are thinking of themselves and never think for the future of we fellow Malaysians by betting and sacrificing our future and let us struggle in this competitive and demanding world when we are not equipped by mastering other languages.
In literary, they are as if throwing the rakyat into a war by not providing weapons for their self-interest. SELFISH AYAM KAMPUNG!!
I would really intend to dare those "pak minister" to communicate in National Language when they speak in global conference if they are inclined so much in their propaganda.
They are going to be the laughing stock because there will be only ONE MAN that understands him. And the little one is HIMSELF.
Adding to that, if its true that foreign language will vanish our identity, look at our neighbour country, Singapore.
Their motto is Majulah Singapura (Bahasa Malaysia) when they place the status of English as so important but they never, NEVER replace English language as their National Language.
That's people with brains. They are preserving what they should. They inherit their ancestor language but at the same time they didn't neglect the global language, economy language, international language.
Actually we realise all that, including the importance of Science and Math in English, but it's our self-ignorance. It's because we are easily influence by the propaganda of the Ayam Kampung.
Therefore, the solution is actually there.
Which is to IGNORE and FORGET about the AYAM KAMPUNGS.
As I said earlier, so long Malaysian is a free and independent country, we Malaysians will use our blood and tears to fight for our National Language.
But let us also resemble our strength by adding value on ourself; one of it to have a diverse ways to converse.
Use our intelligence, wisdom, self consciousness and broad mindedness to judge the rights and wrongs.
Let us not be the part of the political games and let us be united to strive towards the betterment for the nation.
Let us do our little bit we can ever contribute- a matured citizen.
Let us stand out and understand our key role.
Let us divert our friends from old to young from the dark to bright, from the lies to the truth.
Let us not be be thinking on the stand of races, political differences, and whatever good names of ideology.
Instead, let us stand in the name of development and progression for the sake of future generations, our children.
As our National Motto sounds, "Bersekutu Bertambah Mutu" (Unity is Strength)
