It’s not the issue of language but it is an issue of national unity and integration. A true cohesive identity for a single Malaysian race is hard to define. We are still recognized as “Melayu, India, Cina, dan lain-lain” (Malay, Indian, Chinese, and others). We are still referring to ourselves as a race, by our skin color and by the language we use.

Time flies by so fast, that 2008 felt like the fastest year I’ve lived!
I hadn’t realized that the last post on this blog was exactly 2 months ago!
Who is Rafidah Aziz to make such a request from UMNO not to do so? Members of UMNO particularly the women’s wing have every right to nominate a new leader. A party dictated not by the principles of choice and democracy will see its downfall as it will percieved as an authoritarian and feudal organization.

But his goal of becoming PM with an “will do all it takes at whatever cost” attitude has only caused his name to bear the same meaning as Badawi, i.e “to over promise and under deliver”. His name now also means “to bravely state a date to achieve a goal, make everyone believe that it will be achieved, and then telling everyone in their face that it was only a symbolic gesture”.

Out of my two failed attempts at blogging, I reflected and pondered where I went wrong. I realized it was content. Who gives two cents reading someone’s personal ramblings? I’ve read some of those types of blogs and my interest on them is best described as a gold fish’s memory; its forgotten after 4 secs.
To my dear readers,
I know and I do apologize for I have been quiet since my last post. Finding time to do the things one loves is a luxury that requires much sacrifice in time and energy.
As an indirect result of the striking of UMNO as an unlawful society and the confrontation between the government and the judiciary, a judicial crisis sparked off later that year. The then Lord President, Tun Salleh Abbas was sacked and several high court judges were transferred to other divisions. This brought a wrath of criticism against Mahathir as it was seen that the judiciary was no longer an independent institution as enshrined in the constitution but became part of the government machinery.
