For My Merdeka Wish...I Wish....

FOR MALAYSIA TO BE DESTROYED!

You think I'm joking? I'm pretty serious you know...
..
...
....
.....

Okay, maybe not literally...sheesh...

Anyways, HAPPY MERDEKA DAY TO ALL MALAYSIANS!!! 
Ripped from IIUM.FM
Now, back to the topic...
Yes, deep down inside me, I wish that Malaysia would be destroyed....
Or put into chaos...
Or had a zombie apocalypse...
Or an alien invasion...
Anything, as long that it just...well destroyed...

OKAY
Before you could show me your t-.-t and cursing...let me clarify...

I WISH IT TO BE DESTROYED IN FICTION
YES
FICTION

So, why fiction?
You see, fiction existed to deliver a message to society in a subtle yet entertaining way. The reason I wish that Malaysia to be destroyed...in fiction is to instill gratefulness into the Malaysian's heart.

You see, people take Malaysia for granted. It's own inhabitant didn't appreciate Malaysia. They condemn Malaysia. They don't want to serve Malaysia. Furthermore, Malaysia become a subject of comparison with the OTHER countries which they deemed to be far better than Malaysia...

Not only that, Malaysian; the people of Malaysia fought with each other. Invisible barriers segregate us once more after all those hard work to bring those barriers down during the Fight for Independence, yet WE the citizen of Malaysia erect those barriers once again without shame.

A superficial analysis filled with over generalization?

Stop
Pause
And take a look around you...

The current generation, the leaders of tomorrow are even more segregated than before. The 'Race Spirit' fill theirs hearts as they become pretentious and egoistic; deeming the other 'races' as inferior. Not only that, we also have 'ideologies' which we seek not to understand and tolerate but to condemn and obstinate. I tried to be as open and have the "Malaysian Mindset" but sadly, I was among the minorities. Most of the times, I would get statements such as "Melayu lupa diri" for having this mindset.

It's a big irony. The 1Malaysia slogan was launched a couple years ago and in my opinion, it doesn't strengthen our unity but it actually make us more aware of our 'race'. Ever since the launching of that slogan, I never once met someone who can say "We are 1Malaysia" with genuine sincerity and without any trace of sarcasm. (IN MY OBSERVATION, MIND YOU)

Why are we, Malaysians doing this? It's sad to see us becoming more and more disunited; fighting everyday, condemning each other. People left Malaysia in pursuit of money and refuse to contribute back to the country. It's sad...We really took our peace, our independence, and our Malaysia for granted...

And that's why...

If any of you filmmakers, writers, directors or any people of art...
Please, I beg you...
Put Malaysia into chaos in your works...
Imagining the worst case scenario as our country burn into ashes and put it into art...
And showcase it around Malaysia...
Enough with the 'gangster' and 'hantu' and 'bohsia' and 'cinta'
Us, Malaysians give an EF already...

Make us a meaningful movie...of how everything falls apart in Malaysia
Let us feel the sadness and realism of watching our own country....our Malaysia, fall...
Then we can truly appreciate Malaysia more...
And you, people of arts, will be truly respected...
As the one who woke Malaysian up from their daydream...


Now, the question is...
ARE YOU THE ONE?

Stand up people of art...
And do your job!


PS: Happy Merdeka!
