Antara Dua Darjat?

Assalammualaikum w.b.t.,

Kepada ayahanda, bonda, kekanda dan adinda semua.. Semoga semua tak bosan dengan kebanjiran cerita mengenai seorang orang bernama YB (Yang Bongkak) Karpal Singh.

Satu benda mengenai media main stream negara kita, memang dah tak ada banyak isu. Kalau statement orang pembangkang aka kerajaan pakatan rakyat, memang akan dijaja semacam memberi only bad reviews. Tapi hari ini, Utusan Malaysia 15 Mei 2008, muka hadapan, memberi satu peluang YAB (Yang Amat Bingung) Dato' Seri Najib Tun Razak, membuat penjelasan panjang lebar.

Adakah, saya ulang, Apakah? Ini cara media main stream memberikan peluang pada satu pihak menghujah tentang salah laku atau salah tanggapan orang ramai terhadap individu tersebut? Kata satu memanda menteri, nak beri peluang 'fair press and people aka 'Rakyat' aka Makkal to give their sincere views'...

Semoga kita jangan terus memberi simpati kepada sesiapa yang nak cari simpati kat akhbar main stream... Nak betul2 beri penjelasan, turun court, bagi statement. Being the man behind every big defense contract, please don't tell the Rakyat that you don't have an inkling what the story behind the controversy.

Fair Play in Football, but is there any Fair Press in Malaysia Mainstream News?

OKT... Dah lama tak guna term ni...

OKT atau nama lebih manja Orang Kena Tangkap (masuk Lokap lar....) satu gelaran yang memang menjadi satu gelaran agak 'glamour' pada suatu masa dahulu di Era Reformasi Rakyat Malaysia 1997-2008 (sebelum 8 Mac)...

'Dah lama dah' adalah lagi satu ungkapan yang memang selalu bermain di telinga ini. Kita, rakyat Malaysia mesti masih ingat pada suatu masa dahulu, semasa perhimpunan agung 'alif miim nun wau', ungkapan ini diucap oleh pemimpin perdana pada ketika itu...

I feel that we are already far cry from those days, that we see every weekend, especially Saturday Noon, Kuala Lumpur, will be filled with the Reformist or so called lah... Some of the crowd were only of those that curious with the on goings...

Me, personally, would be the so called sympathisers... "Mesti lah, orang kena tangkap satu hal, kena pukul pulak tuh, tak adil", I over heard, the rumblings among the people there... My mom, in this particular time, reminded me so many times, do not go to KL at that time... But at that time, i was working at Subang Jaya, travel by KTM Komuter train, would be trapped in the middle of the mob. So as a saying, If u can't fight 'em, join 'em. As the hot blooded young man whom I am, i joined, until one incident...

One time, at Jalan Tun Perak, under the LRT rails, a mob is getting bigger... As too, the FRUs.. Federal Reserve Unit aka The Red Devils, as my friends called them. One of the Police Officers told the mob to disperse or meet the ill fate of the day...

I, for one minute saw this is not a good mob to be in, started to walk towards Jalan Silang... Then as i walking in fast pace, so do the Red Devils, as they beat the batons to their shields. I can't imagine the next move... As they the Red Devils started run and attacked our ill fated comrades, I and the others, run as fast as we can... I, at more than 100 kgs that time but out of nowhere come the natural instinct to run as fast. I saw people behind me being caught. But as some say, today is my day, so its truely, that day is my day. As i manage to cross the road to old HSBC near CM, the Red Devils stopped from crossing the busy road.

I, like most of the lucky ones, join the busy KL-ites in Central Market that afternoon. So the sad story of that event, taken place at the height of Reformasi, made me to thinks twice to join in the Mob again. Sadly, that is the last day people would see me in the Mob.

My mom, did'nt know what happened to me that day. But surely, i will follow her instinct. From then on, i would only go for the ceramahs and dialogs... It is not that seems that we are not doing anything for not joining the Mob on every other saturdays or sundays... But as I usually put in proper words, Sikit-sikit, lama-lama jadi Kerajaan...

Those day, OKT is like a must list to the reformist... Azmin Ali, Ezam Mohd Noor, Ustaz Badrul Amin, Tian Chua.. Many more...

My friends from the outside, will never know why we do it... But if you feel the unrest at that time, they will know the atmosphere those days... As i no longer feel DSAI is oppressed like he was last time, so do my feelings toward the road rallies... But i for one, still feel, street demos or fight* is the most vocal kind of fight for mankind.

Please, i beg to those in 'KUASA', to see and hear and please feel, what the rakyats pleas. Leaders are trees that rakyat would seek shelter under it. The 'KUASA' you have, is not for to inflict more pain, but it is to ease the sufferings that we endured all this life.
