Himpunan Mahasiwa Bersama: An example of idealistic extremism

Another plain example of ignorance and stupidity. This so called Perhimpunan Mahasiswa Bersama. Just imagine if a foreigner wiould have stumbled upon this barbaric riot, how much polluted will be the name of my beloved country. People will tend to compare Malaysia with the ethnic conflicts in China and the political turmoil in Thailand and say: O.. I think Malaysia is at par..

That's what pisses me off seeing people doing demonstrations. Its a waste of time, money and manpower. You'd think the government will respond? Well, it seems that in the past few days, the Government has taken a stance to uphold the national language again in governmet schools, but is it due ti this pointless protest. If I were to be someone at the top, I would just see the protest at the corner of my eye and just say 'how dumb..'.

As a matter of fact, I am neither pro Government nor pro Opposition. I'm just somebody pro to what I think is logic and practical. Well, there are some BN policies that I don't agree with and there are also some Oppositon policies I too have a hard time to comprehend. But this post is not about politics. It'ss about sanity and being practical.

Last year, there was a protest by the GPMS (Gabungan Pelajar Melayu Semenanjung) against the intake of 20% non-bumis in UITM. Well, to tell you the truth, during the protest, I was actually an active member of the GPMS, using it as a platform to spread my ideals. But, seeing as how babyish they were in deciding to organise that protest, I decided that GPMS was not so to my liking. It wasn't that free from UMNO politics for that protest was pointed toward the current Opposition MB of Selangor. For me, all protests have a foul stench of dirty politics puppeting the crowd. Including this one.

So that is why, I would not be shocked if this Perhimpunan Mahasiswa bersama is politically motivated. And students, who are subsidised by the government to study, end up wasting their time doing nonsense. For me, an ideal student is a student that not only learns, but also uses his or her new found knowledge and charisma to serve tha society around him. In contrast, an unworthy student will use his free time to do useless things, and how much more for things which have practically negative effects to the society.

Back to this Perhimpunan. (See MalaysiaKini for a full 10 minute view), you can notice these people blocking the road, delaying important appointments and deliveries, slowing down the pace of modernism, just to demonstrate. Roads get blocked, the serenity of the ever peaceul Kuala Lumpur gets destroyed by people shouting. Well, if i were the government, I wouldn't have the slight feeling of sympathy for demonstrators beiing shot by tear gas. Well, they are disturbing my country. You xpect me to have sympathy.. Not..

And another fact, they were shouting the Takbir.. (Allahuakbar) in the streets in rage and agony. To my understanding, (please correct me), the Takbir is not only used to praise Allah (Allah is great), but is used to increase morale when facing an enemy. So who is the enemy? Policy makers? The government? For me it's a disgrace to God when one shouts Allahuakbar in a state of anger and rage. And in the video, you can see people with Kopiah's, long head scarves, dressing as foretold by the Sunnah, commiting uncivilized acts on the streets. and at the same time shouting the Takbir.

Let me define extremism: An act in which someone suffices, when he or she thinks he is doing a good thing, but in fact is doing it too much that it becomes pointless, bringing shame to what he or she is initially fighting for. Based on this definition, what we see in this video is extremism..

Like many people say, not to high not to low.. The middle is OK..

Ak cinta..

Cinta Illahi, cinta keluarga, cinta sesama manusia, cinta ngan haiwan dan cinta dgn diri sendiri..

Semua ni cinta. CInta bukan takat cinta laki bini atau cintan cintun dgn awek atau pakwe. Cinta bende yg menyelamatkan sorang drpd buat bende yg bukan2. Tapi kadang2 cinta tu membutakan, so apa tu cinta?

Haha. Mungkin ada orang tertanya-tanya, kenapa ak ni tetiba jiwang plak? Xde pun. Dah lame dah terfikir, tp duduk simpan je dlm hati. One way or another, kene gak ak luahkan pendapat ak tentang cinta.

Ad sesetengah kes, kahwin takat nak tunaikan tanggungjwab, bukan cinta. Sebab kene desak keluarga and masyarakat. So lama2, rasa kosong. Balik ke bini atau suami, xde feel. Bosan rasanye hidup. Tengok bini atau suami, bosan. 'Asyik muka sama je'. Last-last, anak2 pun tak tau apa maksud cinta, sebab tak pernah tgk mak bapak tunjuk cinta deorg pada satu sama lain. So deorg ingat cinta tu, sex sebab pengaruh media. Last-last, rosak generasi muda. Finally, chain reaction ni goes on and on, sampailah manusia pupus.

So, inilah yg berlaku pada masyarakat kat kampung halaman aku. Cerai berai, gaduh-gaduh, pukul-pukul, curang-curang. Punca dia, maybe sebab, masa nk kahwin, kene paksa famili. Cinta xde. Atau punca lain, sebab masa muda2, syok sangat bercinta sebelum kahwin. Bila dah kahwin, dah x rasa syok dah. So, last2, cerai. Betapa bodoh.

Ok, pasal cerai. Budak2 zaman skrg, dah pandai buat pasal cerai, sebab dah sebati dgn budaya masyarakat deorg. Lepas tu, bila Ustaz2 ajar pasal kahwin and cerai, boleh buat lawak lagi pasal bab cerai. So, for me, bende ni bodoh. Bapak ak, dari kecik didik ak ngan abang ak.. Jangan main2 dengan cerai. Ni kata2 dia;

'You'd be better of cutting your own dick, rather than divorcing your wife.' Bagi dia, cerai tu maksudnye membuang kelakian seorang laki, sebab tindas pempuan. Mak ak pun setuju. Takat ni, dah beribu-ribu kali mak ak nasihat aku: Pilih bini betul2. Sbb bini ni sampai mati.

So, kembali kepada cinta:

Yang ak explain kat atas td, cinta suami bini. Kalau cinta sesama manusia pulak. Macamana?

Bagi aku, cinta sesama manusia menghalang kita daripada memudharatkan manusia lain. Cinta pada manusia menyatu masyarakat, dan cinta pada manusia membawa 1001 kebaikan dan 0 keburukan. Cinta kat boss, cinta dgn membe, cinta dgn orang bawah, cinta dengan orang yg kita x kenal pun. Cinta tetap cinta. Bila semua orang 'embrace' cinta ni, xde lagi gaduh-gaduh, xde lagi bunuh2, rogol2, tindas2, buruk sangka, dengki2. Semua orang akan berusaha berbakti kepada satu sama lain without prejudice.

Bila semua orang mencinta, betapa indahnye dunia ciptaan Tuhan. Tapi masalahnye, bile orang cakap pasal cinta, orang campur definisi cinta dengan definisi nafsu. Sesetengah orang cakap, cinta tu x elok. Bahaya. Cinta kat Tuhan je yg elok, and sesetengah lagi cakap, cinta tu bukan cinta kalau xde sex. Orang2 putih kata, love must be passionate. No passion, no love. Tu lah contoh percanggahan pendapat antara extrem yg terlampau, dengan kejahilan yang terlampau.

So, tu put it short, cinta tu BUKAN nafsu, tapi anugerah. Nafsu yg bagi nama buruk kat cinta, tp cinta itu membawa kesucian yg dapat melunakkan besi, menghancurkan batu, membankgitkan mati dan buat budak jadi pemimpin. Cinta sesama manusia yg berlandaskan cinta kepad Tuhan ialah cinta yg suci laksana titisan embun yg turun dari langit. Air mata yg dititiskan sebab cinta, dapat melembutkan hati yg sekeras-keras batu. Melalui cinta, seseorang itu dapat mengetahui, betapa indahnya ciptaan Yang Illahi.

Cuba tgk tokoh2 kita. Contohnya Tun Mahathir. Tun Hasmah berada di sampingnya sentiasa sampailah dia jd pemimpin yg antara paling best kat Malaysia. Kerana kekuatan yg Tun Hasmah bagi kat dia, di samping keazaman diri sendiri, dia menggunakan kuasa cinta laki bini, untuk menuju ke puncak kejayaan.

So, cintalah orang lain sebagaimana korang cinta diri korang sendiri..

To be continued..

Ragam manusia..

In other words; The idiosyncracies of mankind

One of the idiosyncracies of mankind. Jealousy. So long have I been a victim of situations where people get resented due to what I get. That's the fact of this world. You just sit in your room, being yourself, doing nothing, and yet people, for no apparent reason get very defensive towards you. This plaque of stupidity has haunted me eversince I was small, and will always haunt everybody whose luck is just slightly better than a few others.

When I'm silent, people ask why am I like so, when I talk people hate it, aso what to do. I just be myself, and the more people hate it. And when I pretend, they become angels by offering me blissfull advice, telling me to become myself. Such wondorous hypocracy.

Such is the art of living, such is the evil of men, and such is the world we are living in. Life always puts one in a stalemate situation. So to say, the vision I have envisioned and have so far aimed to be planted in the hearts of mankind is SINCERE tolerance, and a piece of mind.

Like my father always says to me; 'At the end of the day, it all comes down to you.' Words which I stubbornly rejected, but in the end found out that it had a true and deep meaning in life. By the way, last night, I dreamt of standing up against my father, and ion the end getting scolded like hell. Thank God it was a dream.

So there are also a few group of people who likes to judge. People, who in my opinion feel so insecure about themselves and choose to feel superior by judging people without deep thought, and at the end of the day saying that they themselves are the most perfect beings created by God. Hahaha. How tremendously doof. Certain Eigenschaften they have;

1. Always find fault in the mistakes of others.

2. Makes a big deal of the mistakes done by others.

3. Have a ridiculous tendency to judge people by emotions

4. Have an overwhelming tendency for finding support.

And if they find support, they choose to hold on to that support, eventhough that support just chooses not to be held onto anymore.

So please, gimme a break.

Deutschland: Land of Ideals and Ideas

Gleefully I am sitting in my room and at the same time having a slight feeling of grief. Well, let's be positive and start with what is gleaming me.

My first presentation in front of circa 60 people, all in German. This is one of the most devastating and shall i say one of the most memorable incidents in my life. My group was consisted of a negro and a turkish. The other two which was a Tunisian and a half blood Turkish pulled away because there were just to many heads for one simple mechanical problem in Mechanics 1.
Working with people from other countries really changed the way how i saw people. Once, I always had the bad habit to genaralize and judge one based on his colour and race, but now, so to say, people will always remain people despite of who they are. A few days ago, I went out a few German friends, yesterday I accidentally met Hussam (the half blood Turkish) in a fast food outlet, and we had lunch together, talking about things which just came to mind.

A good German friend of mine by the name of Christuf, is for me by far the most friendliest and open minded person I've ever met since my arrival in Germany. We exchanged information about our countries, and argued a fewopinions which we had about the so called liberalism and religion. His ideas were far different than mine and his perception and my peception about the world is entirely different. Arguing with him, did not even make me feel offended whatsoever, because what both of us had was openness and understanding of each other's viewpoint.

My Mitbewohner (housemate) was also a fruitful guy to talk with. All three of them were party animals, but each of them wise in their own way. One of them, Chris, had a very vast viewpoint about libaralism and religion and once said to me that before he wants to declare himself as a follower of a religion, he wants to study each of the choices he has and come to a conclusion when he is wise enough. Of course, he asked about certain things in Islam (all in 100% German Language) and it took me quite a while nad tremendous patience to explain to him. Of course, there were a few queestions that i myself could not answer so I choose to say 'Es ist zwar kompleks. Bitte gib mir Zeit zum researchieren'. (It's quite complicated. Please give me time to research based on ur Question). The art of escaping from looming questions so to say.

For me, Germany is a place to strengthen and furthermore build up my ideals. That was why, I liked to talk to people who tals about things which are useful and talk about facts. It's quite a blessing to know what they really think, their viewpoint on a certain issue, and the manner in which they use to think. That was one of the reasons why I choose not to mingle around with a group in the FH called the International Students. Well, I myself am an international Student, but, I have my own opinion about them. That I would not like to share, for their conversation is not fruitful.

What's causing me grief by far is the fact that a certain person I admire isn't able to come to Germany in June because of Swine flu. Stupid pigs!! But it's ok. Things happen for a reason don't they?

One of the best shows: Into the wild

Last night, I stayed up to watch a film called Into The Wild. Themost heartwarming, full with philosophy and the most touching show ever. It's about a young man, who was so bored about life and chooses to segrgate himself from civilization after graduation. In shan't tell you the ending though but Irecommend all of you to watch it.

I can only tell you one part of the ending. After living for so long from his family and friends alone, prior to his death, he made a conclusion; true happiness can only be found by sharing. (Or something like that). To be honest, this and countless other words his sister narrated really had a deep effect and changed my outlook of how I saw the world.

It was indeed true, that it was like we were living in a world governed by rules that just seperated us by the true nature of being a man. The so called push for us to suceed and have a place in life, and in doing so creates depression, stress and temporary happiness just sometimesis too much

People who have not enough money to come by just end up being trampled by people who are luckier than them, people who are born less smart, end up being workers to people who are smarter, people who are less strong and less confident just end up being a so called dimwit by others who have things morethan them. That my friends, is the creepy way this world works and I myself don't agree with the current facts.

For your information, Iam neither communist nor socialist. I am just a person who pities both others and people who are unluckier than me. Ok, I am receiving a high scholarship because of my so called smartness, but in Malaysia or a contradictory example, Africa, many people live lives with financial difficulties, inability for education, lack of even the simplest things in life, just because they have intellectual inabilities, or their country are just politically incompetent. People remain people. They have their own strenghts and uniqueness, but now, because of intellect, the so called 'people whose talent is not in the intellectual field' become the black sheeps of society. Another stupid fact. And here we are, relentlessly enjoying our lives in an foreign land, gnawing of our countries treasury to fulfill our own pettiless endulgement which in my case doesn't last.

Hypocracy exists in all of us, but what differs us from each other is the level of hypocracy we have. Double standardness is one thing, but people with a ridiculously high level of hypocracy, will become people who just ,make the world die faster. people. I myself am a hypocrite, but I hope that my hypocracy doesn't kill or hurt others.

My blog has leaked

I never knew that word of my blog has leaked out. So, basically, I am now an official blogger. Wow.. what a shock. But it's ok.. It looks like I must now get facts straight on my blog..

Wow.. what a heftig week. It seems that time is passing very fast for the Klausur is already closeby. Exam gitters are up and my mood now is swaying violently like the violent winds during autumn.

Lately, I just rearranged my furniture in my room leaving a big space at the entrance. Perhaps I will buy a bean bag in Ikea and lay it in the centre making my room feel like my own sttronghold to find comfort and peace.

I also received a few personal comments but I shan't say all of them. My friend, by the name of Flip (who always jokefully labels me as someone not havng any friends whatsoever) once commented that I must live for my own. Thanks Flip for being the first to comment. I appreciate his words for it has a very significant and deep meaning and I will keep it in my heart.

Perhaps living for my own is ok, having it's own pro's and con's. Perhaps his words are right because perhaps all this while, I have been lying to myself. So, I think I shan't brag because it bores others somehow.. so lets jump to another topic.

TOmorrow by the way, my classmate Christuf and a few of his Freiburger friends will take me out for a trip of enjoyment in Freiburg. Hope that I enjoy their company. Thank God there exists a few understanding people like Christuf who still chooses to get acquainted with me despite of my language difficulty.

People and conflicts

We live in a world filled with humans of all shapes and sizes. We make ourselves fight each other, we insult each other, we stab each other and we quarell just to prove that we are correct.

Is it right to do this?

I'm saying this because of a crtain event that is now leaving a very bad taste n my mouth. Ok.. ok.. I shan't brag about my life cause it will just bore you out, but to put it simply, I am under fire by two sides just because I choose to remain neutral in a conflict. I have promised to myself not to take sides anymore in life in light of my past bad experience with my family. But now, the fucking same thing that happened to me in 2004 is happening within my circle of friends. What the fuck!!

By the way, sorry for the language, for my soul is now not at rest. To put it in a simple manner, I just want to grow up and let childish people remain children, while I get out and become a wise adult.

So day by day, people give me problems. People who are just so insecure of themselves, finally take the stance to push me away from any new contacts they have made. People who gets so territorial and wants everything in the house to run what they perceive as perfect, people with a ridiculously egoistic nature and people who just know how to take but not to give.

Seriously, I just wish that none of these minor and stupid problems bother me, but I can't control it.. Well that's me..

And for me, the word I hate the most coming out of someone's mouth is:

'Hadri.. relax ar'

or

'Hadri cool sket'

These two words pisses me off like shit. So for me, if anybody comes to me and say these words, I would feel like knocking their heads.
