Malaysian Media and Culture, as the name suggests, it doesn’t sound attractive. But after
attending the first lecture, Dr Carmen made the lesson fun and it seems
interesting. Hopefully the following lessons are fun too. So for the first
lesson, this is the task:
For
the former question, of course yes! And why? I never think of this question
before and nobody asks me before. First of all, I think the very solid reason
for this question is because I was born in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of
Malaysia and I own Malaysia identity card. I live in Malaysia since I was born.
I was taught about Malaysia history, geography of Malaysia, to sing Negaraku,
to draw Malaysia flag and etc about Malaysia since I was in kindergarten.
There
was a moment which I remember the most and I truly proud to be a Malaysian.
That was when Datuk Lee Chong Wei represents Malaysia for badminton match. The
mamak was so crowded and the people regardless of race watched the match
together for the only reason. Deep from the bottom of my heart I was so touched
that Malaysians are so united when it comes to this aspect.
As
what Jun mentioned on her blog, I’m qualified to vote for the next election and
this can affect the future of Malaysia. So it really matters whether I am a
Malaysian or not. I’m not sure is it proper to critic Malaysia’s system on this
post but whatever, no doubt that Malaysia really has a very large room of
improvement to achieve Wawasan 2020. As a Malaysian, I hope that at least I can
contribute a little bit for a better Malaysia.
We
hope for better future!!
By
the way, as I scroll through Facebook, I saw the photo above. Yeah that’s true,
we should not differentiated by our races. We all as Malaysian should get fair
treatment. That’s what 1 Malaysia means right? But I don’t think we are practising
it.
To
end the first post, writing down our own opinions and thoughts is not easy for
me as most of the time I have difficulty expressing myself either by speaking
or in words. I really hate it but I will try to express my opinions in the way
that everyone understands. Haha~
Why do you Malaysian do not identify themselves as Malaysian but rather *certain race from Malaysia? Why are we differentiated according to our races? Are we so much different from other races in Malaysia?
