Translation
Below is an article taken from Sin Chew Jit Poh.
I will TRY to translate.
This is a very meaningful article.
評論：鄭丁賢‧千百個阿末(2008-09-04)
Views: zhen4 ding1 xian2. Hundreds and thousands of Ahmad (2008-09-04)
兩個星期前，我接到一個母親的電話。
2 weeks ago, I received a call from a mother.
她的女兒，在政府學校擔任教職，最近被安排接受一項訓練課程。
Her daugther is teaching in a government school and had been arranged to go for a training programme lately.
課堂上，一名講師公然否定非馬來人的公民地位，指他們是外來者；然後，指著華裔學員說："這個國家是馬來人所擁有，你們不配要求甚麼。"
During lecture, a lecturer frankly denied non-Malays' citizen right and called them pendatang asing; then, the lecturer pointed the chinese campers and said: " This country belongs to Malays. You all are not qualified to ask for anything."
其它污辱和貶低的字眼，我不需要重覆。
I will not repeat other insulting and humiliating words here.
這些華印裔學生聽了，心裡忿忿不平，極為難過；但是，基於講師手上的權力，大家不敢當場反駁。
When the chinese and indian students heard that, they are furious and very sad; but due to the power that the lecturer hold, they did not argue.
到了晚上，女兒終於按捺不住，打電話向母親哭訴經過。
When night falls, the girl cried and call her mother to tell her about the whole story.
從這位母親轉述女兒遭遇的聲音，聽得出她內心的激動和憤怒。然後，她掛了電話。
When I heard the mother talking about her child's problem, I can feel the rage and angry in her voice. After a short while, she hang up the phone.
昨天，林吉祥公開另一位家長寫給他的信件。
Yesterday, Lim Kit Siang reported to the press a letter which send to him from another parent.
他的女兒，獲得公共服務局獎學金，按照規定，需要出席一項課程。
His daughter received JPA scholarship. According to the law, She needs to attend a seminar.
講師來自首相署屬下的國家幹訓局（Biro Tata Negara）。這個機構的名聲和紀錄，大家心裡有數。
The lecturer comes from Biro Tata Negara from the prime minister's department. We all know the reputation and record of this notorious biro.
這位家長轉述，這名講師聲稱非馬來人不應該置疑馬來人的特權，而且要感謝馬來人給於公民地位，以及居留之所。
The parent told me that this particular lecturer said non Malays are not suppose to query Ketuanan Melayu. Non Malays are suppose to thank the Malay for providing citizenship and a place to stay for them.
他還指示其他馬來人學員，不能和非馬來人交往。
Besides that, he instructed malay campers not to make friends with non Malay.
非馬來學員受到的心理衝擊，可想而知。連一些馬來學員也受到驚嚇，哭了出來。
The trauma and psychological effect that faced by the non Malay can be understand. Even some Malay camperes were shocked and cried.
這兩起事件，過程竟是如此相同。我不知道，是不是涉及同一名講師？類似的事件，是否兩宗？
These 2 incidents are so similar. I do not know whether it is the same lecturer and whether there are only 2 incidents happened?
我相信，絕對不只是兩宗，而是以千百計。
I believed that, there will not only be 2 incidents. There will be hundreds and thousands of them.
各種政府課程，以及各級學校的課室內，都一再出現這類偏激的種族言論，歧視教育。
There are so many aggressive and racist remarks repeatedly comes out in various government offered seminars and various primary, secondary and high school.
多少年輕的心靈受到戕害，多少啟蒙中的腦袋受到荼毒。
How many young soul are hurt? how many brains are being 'poluted'?
巫統為一個阿末依斯邁的言論，作出道歉。
UMNO apologized for ONE Ahmad Ismail.
千百個阿末依斯邁，還在我們的周圍，在族群之間，埋下分化和仇視的種子。
But hundreds and thousands of Ahmad Ismail are still surrounding us, inside our society, buried hatred and detestation among us.
幾十年來的種族政治，單元教育，製造了無數的阿末、X講師，以及他們的信徒。
The racist politics and education created many Ahmad, X lecturers and their followers.
在國家被摧毀之前，請高抬貴手，不要再讓這種情況繼續下去。我們需要的是寬容諒解，不是仇恨和對抗。
Before the country is being destroyed, please stop this. Do not let this kind of condition continues. All we need is forgiveness and ______, not hatred and ________)
（希望文中提起的母親，把詳細的經過、人物名字、主辦單位等資料電郵給我，以便轉給各有關機構，進行調查。我們不能只是哀嘆難過，而必須採取積極行動，作出改變了。）
( I hope that the mother will e-mail to me more information about the whole process, the name of the X lecturer and organizer, so that I can informed the particular organizer to investigate. We cannot sit down and complain and we must act and make changes.)

Do no harm if no good can be achieved
The essence of medical practice is to do no harm to patients if no good can be achieved. But in Malaysia's political world it seems that when no good can be achieved, DO HARM! CREATE PROBLEM! If they cant get what they want, other people also cant get it.
So with this kind of mentality, we have "pariah" politicians such as Ahmad Ismail who made racist remarks and talk rubbish. Barisan Nasional lost Penang to PKR. This Bukit BEndera UMNO division chief also lost his power. So when he cannot get power, he makes sure our life is difficult also.
At first, things sort of "settle" when he get his punishment. But my blood was boiling again when Sin Chew Jit Poh gets a show cause letter from the home ministry. Then, to make things worst, a reporter was arrested under ISA because she wrote a news article about the racist statement by Ahmad Ismail.
So, Malaysia was again making the headlines around the world. First a sodomised case, then Mongolian lady case, next sending a bunch of MP to Taiwan to avoid 916, (where in the first place the government said 916 is rumors) and now detain some civilian under ISA because we want to protect her...
Hahaha. What a funny joke. Our home minister will be the most humorous and the most creative minister in Malaysia history.
The number games are getting more and more complicated...
In 915, Law Minister Zaid Ibrahim tenders his resignation over the government's use of ISA.
Tomorrow is 916. The date Anwar said over 30 MP will crossover to Pakatan rakyat...
2 more days later comes 918. The date where UMNO supreme council will held meeting to decide the transition issue from Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
The only thing which can be confirm is the newspaper will still be covered by more and more political issues in this few months time.
Just want to let these politicians know. If they cannot bring any development to this country, at least do not spoil the remaining harmony in this country...

Trip to Bukit Cahaya
Yesterday I went to Taman Pertanian Malaysia in Shah Alam with my girlfriends.
That place got many names. It is also called Bukit cahaya Seri Alam.
Me, Chin yee,
Ee Lin, Magdalene,
Seng Yeong, Minying
The entrance fee to the agriculture park is RM3.
Bukit Cahaya is one of the forest reserves in Selangor.
The whole park is 817 Hectares---Very big.
It has a 4 season house, a skytrex adventure park, 2 watch tower and various small gardens: animal garden, orchid garden, spice garden, mushroom garden, etc. It is a place good for family and friends outing.
The park also allows tourists to rent mountain bikes. The rental is ok. The first hour is RM5 for a new bike and RM3 for an old bike, then the subsequent hour is RM1. ***Bicycle with a basket in front is old one*** haha.
After choosing our own bike, we started to cycle around the park.
The 1st stop: A paddy field.
Next, the animal park.
No need to go to zoo. They have got many animals here also.
A "ham sap" pony which showed us the penis when we touch it.
A herd of deer. They were busy eating and facing us with their butt. When Seng yeong barks, (Yes, barking!!!), all of them suddenly look back!!!
Climbing the watch tower
Taking pictures was our main activities there besides cycling.
This pic was taken on top of the watch tower.
The danau perikanan which has no fish to be seen. However, we saw a big eagle.
The cultural village which only portray the various Malay Kampung in different state.....
The place is not well maintained. The Sarawak cultural village is very much nicer. At least, the Sarawak cultural village did not forget that there are many other races in Malaysia...
After 4 hours of cycling, we were all very exhausted and tired.
So we decided to 'ciau'.
We did not forget to take picture AGAIN at the entrance.
The "taliban mui" in the pic is minying.
Mag with her banana. haha.
The trip was fun. I realise that cycling is a good exercise to reduce fat surrounding the thigh. wahaha, girls who want to reduce weight can give a try.

是非精
她看着女人一手握着驾驶盘,一手拿着电话,还能不断转过头来对她挤眉弄眼感到心惊不已. 这年头的女人真是太强悍了,一心不止二用, 同一时间脑子在转,嘴巴在讲,手在动,脚踩油门. 她只能呆坐在一旁,听女人细细数落另一个女人, 插不上话也认不清路, 脑子里一片空白, 只能傻傻地陪笑. 这让她很有挫折感. 很多时候她怀疑自己是出生在错误的年代里.
雨落下来了, 水珠一颗颗打在窗上却完全掩盖不住loud speaker phone 传来一波又一波夸张又恶毒的对话. 是针对另一个女人的话题. 她有一阵晕眩, 脸上一阵发热.“你刚才有看到X X 那个死相吗?” 女人转过头来寻求她的认同. 她一愣,半晌才回过神来. “你说什么?” 她问. 女人一皱眉, 对着电话里的女人说她在发白日梦. 电话的另一端传来清脆的笑声. 她不置可否的耸耸肩, 只能陪着一同笑. 强颜欢笑了整个早晨,她觉得那张麻痹的脸不再属于她自己.
无聊, 使她开始细细打量身旁的女人. 女人面目姣好, 青色的上衣用的是本季最流行的弹性质料. 贴身的无袖上衣毫不保留的展示优美的线条.下垂的领口褶皱, 若隐若现的乳沟配上卡其裤, 青春洋溢. 她自形惭岁的看见自己一身暗淡色调所带来的沉闷, 黯然的垂下眼皮. 难怪他们喊她叫嬷嬷.
电话那端的女人也是她的朋友. 此刻她旁边的女人正在向电话那端的人打小报告. 说有个野女人要勾引电话那端女人的男友. 她听得头皮发麻. 半个小时前, 大伙不是都还好端端的一起用餐吗? 所谓的野女人酷酷的, 说话直直的. 有和男人眉来眼去, 眼光直直盯着男人的一举一动吗? 有露出不屑的表情吗? 算了, 对她而言都不重要. 她对感情事向来反应迟钝, 要不然也不会到如今仍然单身.
一滴晶莹的水珠顺着窗慢慢滑下, 撞向另一滴连为一体, 复而迅速地再滑下, 消失在眼帘. 女人问:“拜托你不要在他面前提起这事好不好?” 她感觉到女人的不安. 电话另一端的声音开始激动起来: “ 我早就觉得那个XX对他有意思. 果然, 现在连你也这么说.” 她为那男生流一把冷汗. 终于, 车子开到了火车站. 女人还喋喋不休的一直讲. 她挥挥手, 迫不及待的逃离那辆车. 明明是短短的路程却让她感觉身心俱疲.
她看着电动火车缓缓驶进月台. 依呀一声, 门打开了, 繁忙时间的车厢竟然还有空位. 她不敢相信自己的好运, 就如她不相信那个美丽的女人竟然如此不堪. 她心里一宽, 坐在椅子上, 全身的骨架好像快要散掉. 火车慢慢地往回家的路途开去.

"Sensitive Issues" Shhhhhh.....
I am quite disapointed with a few issues which happened in Malaysia recently.
First of all is the forum --- Conversion to Islam --- organized by Bar Council had to stop half way. I always believe that ALL religion in the world is good. The only problem lies in the follower...
So, the protestors claimed religion is a sensitive issue and nobody should held a public discussion on it. What is the logic behind this? By shutting up the mouth of people who have a different view with them do not mean that the problem has been solved. This will only make matter worse. In a civilised world, we do not threatened. Instead we discuss. Discussion makes things clearer, allowed different views to be presented and create a better solution to settle dispute.
Then the demonstration of the UITM student regarding the opening of 10% of the university intake to non-Malay student. Everyone understand that the only way to teach a child to survive is by teaching him/her how to fish and not by giving fish directly. Closing UITM to the bumiputra is not only like feeding fish to the child but also closing the pond at the same time, not letting other people come in to fish. Now they can close a pond, but can they also close the sea and not allow people from other part of the world to fish???
Lastly the PAS youth wing which referred the non-Muslims as orang asing. This statement really hurts. So this means that until now PAS still cannot accept other races in this country? After 51 year we stay together in this country?
Our country will celebrate the 51st anniversary this year. With the Merdeka day within the corner, all politicians must remember how tough is it that our ancestor obtain independence. The politicians should be more responsible in their words and actions. Their easy access to the media and public should not be used as a tool to gain popularity and support.
The non-Malay in this country help to build the nation too. We do not come here to rob or do things against the law. Most of us are good citizen. We treat this country as our home. MALAYSIA IS OUR HOME. Not China or India. When our badminton player Lee Chong Wei play against China player Ling Dan on sunday, we support Lee Chong Wei, we support Malaysia team. We hope that he will bring back a gold medal!!!
One world one vision??? One country may not even have the same vision.....
It is so sad.

Warm uP
My boss asked me 2 days b4 I left the pharmacy shop.
“What had u learnt during this 2 months?”
I told her that mainly some counseling skills and brand of drugs and supplements. Now that when I think back, that was only part of what I gained.
It was a new experience for me working there. I faced real patient everyday. They are not simulated patient found in clinical skill unit in IMU. No scripts were given to these people and no lecturer there to give marks. Besides, there will not be any feed back telling what had been done wrong.
Many people thought it is easy to be a community pharmacist. Some customers thought we are just special sales person who sell drugs…
(Auntie!!!, it is not so easy le!!!)
People who do not know English says English is nothing more than 26 alphabets. Very simple ma!!!. So is it true that English is as easy as ABC???
2 months there make me realize that it is not an easy task to be a pharmacist. Besides, although my boss is good, she is quite strict. So it is sometime very stressful. Anyway, I was excited to have chance to see theory in class come real life. Managing a shop, staffs, ordering stocks, serving customer, counseling skills, hitting sales target, answer phone calls, listening to ‘stories’ from yr staff….haha…
Moreover, I know the importance of punctuality, responsible to mistake that had been done, ways to cooperate with different people (especially staffs), how to face difficult customers and exposed to some skills in running business in a competitive world. I was aware that what we had learned in school was not sufficient to face the society. But when I work, the working culture still shocked me. There are so many invisible rules in the society…
I think I had gained a lot in this 2 months. (Of course not money wise la) But then, now I will not feel so uneasy to tell others that the pay is low and do not feel frustrated that people are enjoying their life going vacation when I was sweeping the floor & tagging the price of the stocks, telling people the difference of Zyrtec and Atarax. This will be the most important warm up activity before I step into my real work life next month.

Moreover, I know the importance of punctuality, responsible to mistake that had been done, ways to cooperate with different people (especially staffs), how to face difficult customers and exposed to some skills in running business in a competitive world. I was aware that what we had learned in school was not sufficient to face the society. But when I work, the working culture still shocked me. There are so many invisible rules in the society…
I think I had gained a lot in this 2 months. (Of course not money wise la) But then, now I will not feel so uneasy to tell others that the pay is low and do not feel frustrated that people are enjoying their life going vacation when I was sweeping the floor & tagging the price of the stocks, telling people the difference of Zyrtec and Atarax. This will be the most important warm up activity before I step into my real work life next month.

"Aqua"
In Phuket, there is a place called Bangla road. It is a normal road filled with people and cars in the morning but when night fallen, it transforms and become a heaven for “aqua”.
Frankly speaking, very few “aqua” looks “pretty”. Fake breast, long hair, hoarse voice, thick make-up and sexy short skirt make them look weird.
high class trans-gender (dancer in fantasea)
It was strange looking at them. Someone said their soul is trapped in a wrong body. As they cannot change their soul, so they kept trying to change their body.
Performers in fantasea aqua show
The outsiders think they are pathetic but they seem lived happily in their own world. I understand that it is their right to choose their gender but most of these aqua chose to become a prostitute and pole dancer... This I cant understand.
On my way back I saw 3 ‘aqua’ in KTM. They dress like teenage girl, wearing hair band, lip stick, strong perfume and the way they talk and laugh is so girlish. I observed that a man who sits opposite with a disgusting look on his face…
This is a world where we want to be normal.
“Normal” = the thinking & opinion of majority.
The opinion of the minority = “odd”
There is an unseen circle surround us.
Those who chose to stay in the big circle are considered normal person.
The sound of minority and people who chose to step outside the circle is always labeled as peculiar, abnormal and troublesome.
We change in order to become better.
We change our job when we do not like it.
Change a new organ when the original one spoilt.
These ‘aqua’ are doing the same things.
They are just changing the body when they found out that their body is not suitable.
I felt weird when see them but at the same time think that there is nothing wrong with them.
Very confuse.

M&M
Myanmar had recently suffered from a rare cyclone which caused tens of thousands of people died and many more lost their loves one and properties.
It was extremely shocked to see pictures and videos showing corpses and carcasses floating everywhere and at the same time heard that the ruling military junta restricted international aid to the country, CONTINUE exporting rice to other country when their own people had nothing to eat, concentrate on election rather than helping the cyclone nargis survivors.
Money and power can make one loss their conscience and ready to sacrifice everything... With this kind of government, I do not know where the future of the Myanmar people lies.
So when we compare ourselves to Myanmar, we are lucky. At least god had treated Malaysia well and we do not suffer from major nature disasters. However, we must know how to appreciate it because human can cause larger disaster than the nature.
I feel that Malaysia is not so peaceful since the election in March 8.
Recent news on the Raja Petra Raja Kamarudin being detained by the police, called upon Karpal Singh to be charged under the seditious law, Lingam video clip, Mongolian lady murdered case, rumours of Anwar to become the next Prime minister, UMNO grassroots proposed Abdullah Badawi to consider "succesion plan" and Ketuanan Melayu make me feel uneasy.
As chinese saying, 山雨欲来风满楼 --- When the storms are about to come, there will always be strong wind before it. We are the normal citizen who cannot control and determined the future of Malaysia. The wakil rakyat that are supposed to represent us and the goverment that are suppose to protect us should think before they do something.
Please protect the unity and peacefulness of this country.

Baju kurung
I bought a pair of baju kurung. This is my first time buying the traditional clothes of malay. I like the material of my new clothes and believed that I look nice after wearing it.
OK, please don't be misunderstand. I am not trying to promote the shop and the owner did not pay me for doing this. Maybe you feel curious why I bought baju kurung suddenly.... This is because I plan to wear it for an interview in a government department.
Very weird?
The officer who came to my university told us that we should wear formal clothing for the interview. For female, it is "strongly advised" to wear a baju kurung. At first, i don't see any problem. However, come to think of it, so can we wear a cheong sam or a sari instead?
I did not ask the officer at that time. Do not want to make it an issue. So I just kept quiet. THis is a typical "me". Obedient to the higher authority and kept silent when things are not right. Somehow, I believed that a different voice or opinion from the authority will end up with "bad ending".
In the baju kurung issue, i do not plan to make any comment on the thinking of the officer. Maybe he was just so used to see his female colleague wearing it. So he thought that baju kurung is formal clothes and working lady wear formal clothes. So working lady should wear baju kurung...
I was taught to obey to rules and authority since young. Most of the time I was considered to be a good student and a good citizen. The meaning of "good" here is I am very obedient. For example if they draw a circle and ask me to stay in that circle to become a good people, I will not even go near to the border. I will not dare to step out to get the things that I want.
However, this kind of obedient behaviour kept me safe and well for many many years. Although I do not get things that I wanted the most(scholarship, places in local university); at least I am lucky that there is some other 2nd and 3rd choice for me....
After reading
Suddenly, I feel like a small kid again. Things that I thought is all right turns out to be not so "ok" in the end. There are many confusion and everything seems to be in grey. Graduation is just another new chapter of life. I begin to feel vagueness and wonder whether I am prepared for all the challenges in future....

A new beginning
Finally finish final exam...
Although still worry for the results, but most of the burden had suddenly dissapear!!!
Don't know how to describe the feeling right now.
It is like climbing up a mountain, after all the hardwork,
I am now only standing in a resting station,
A place to eat some energy bar, drink some water, slowing down the heart beat and prepare to start a new journey.
Looking forward to the new journey!!!
I do not know what are the new scenary I am going to see.
Whether there will be any snake in the bush?
Birds in the sky? colorful insects?
How is the peak going to look like?
This is like a turning point.
Many things will start to change from now.
I will have a new job, new boss, new friends, new colleagues.
Everything is so new.
Feel like the new first year student entering the " university of society "
There will be more "exam" to come,
Exam in any form...
A New beginning. A new world.
I am coming.
