‘够’马来西亚人 ‘Enough’ Malaysia!

肉骨茶开斋、更衣室开斋、华裔医生拒医马来病患。

不知道人们是否有注意到，这其中就牵扯了马来西亚的三大民族。第一宗，只能怪主角二人博出名博到博出火，外加脑残，还说扣留所日子真不错；第二宗也查了个明白，或许也真的不关系种族歧视，但直至今日报纸上还报道了‘印裔围堵质问xx’的新闻，证明确实某些人的心灵被伤害了；第三宗也正在调查中，是真是假还属未知数，无论是确有此事或空穴来风，都不是一件好事。

种族关系从古至今，无论任何朝代或地区，纷争不断——中国满汉之争、南非种族隔离，近至印尼大屠杀或大马513等等，仿佛种族已是一道跨越不过的鸿沟。

但往往，也是因为危机，才出现了转机。南非的戴克拉克和曼德拉成功了；中国还政于民了；印尼也废除土著地位了。他们牺牲了不少，就比如印尼华裔牺牲了本身的母语。

大马从513至今，过了许多个和谐的十年，但我们牺牲了平等和自由。我们所保留下来的，多多少少还是我们之间主要的差异。差异固然需要维护，我赞成，但却必须因此而更努力维持和谐。

从以往的课本当中，我就不喜欢看见‘种族敏感’（sensitiviti kaum）这个词语。敏感，表达了它难以控制和不了解的那种负面关系。我们的关系若是敏感的，表示我们是如此的小心翼翼和恭恭敬敬。这不是不好，而是不能够‘变得更好’。过分的尊重和礼让使我们保持了一段距离。

彼此了解和认识才是现在最重要的。如何了解各族，往往可以从参与他们的活动开始。食物也是一种很好的管道，让我们更加理解不同的文化。而我时常告诉朋友，没有参到不同族群的马来西亚人其实真的不够马来西亚，因为就少了那一点点的rojak感。

今天或许我们因为当权者的一些决定而有了怨恨，但若我们没有身边的朋友，谁能了解我们呢？我们又是否愿意了解他们为何会有此想法呢？

‘Cukup’ Malaysian!

Buka Puasa with Bak Kut Teh, Canteen in Changing Room, Chinese Doctor refused to treat Malays.

Did you all notice, these cases had already involved the 3 main ethnics in our country? The first, we could only say that the two of them, were too fanatic of being famous, until they had got themselves into trouble, and still, saying that the ‘lokap’ days were ‘not bad’; the second case had undergo investigation, and the Deputy Prime Minister had confirmed that no races issue because it’s an alternative for the current-renovating canteen, but unfortunately in today’s newspaper, a politician was surrounded by members of an Indian NGO because he supported the principal；while the third case is still under investigation, and no matter it’s a real or a fake news, it wouldn’t be good for us neither.

Races relationship, from decades to decades, and from the north to the west, has always been controversial: from the Manchu-Han in China and Apartheid in South Africa, to the 1998 May Riots of Indonesia and the 13 May Tragedy in Malaysia，races relationship seems like a huge gap that we would never get through.

But bear in mind, crisis always brings to a better change. These happened after the situations above: In South Africa, Nelson Mandela and always-forgotten President Frederik Willem de Klerk ended the Apartheid; China returned the power to the People；and Indonesia had abolished the race-based politics. They might have sacrificed a lot, and this reminds us all were not easy after all. For example, the Indonesian Chinese had sacrificed their mother tongue language.

From 13 May till today, we had years of peace and harmony, but we had also sacrifices freedom and equality. We hope for a better Malaysia. And we still manage and preserve some differences among us and these made Malaysia so unique. This is a sure Yes for me to do so. But in the other hand, because of these differences we have to work even harder to maintain the peace and harmony in our country.

From the text books before, I personally dislike the term of ‘races sensitivity’. Sensitivity sounds so much negatively unable to control and unable to understand. It means if our relationship is sensitive, we are so far away from each other and always be ‘shy’ to each other because we never know when we would anger another. This isn’t bad, but it stops us to being better. Over-respect makes us further actually.

The most important thing for us to do now is to understand and know more about others. We should start from joining activities of different races or try their food to learn more about the cultures. And, I always tell my friends that if we never befriend or mix with other races, we are not really so Malaysian because we never taste the ‘rojaktivity’ of Malaysia.

Perhaps, we do not like what the people in power had done to us, but if we never have friends around us to tell, who would understand our situation? And are we willing to listen to others to share about their situation?

引擎启动！(Engine ON!)

乘着烟霾好转后所带来的好心情，今天终于开始了第一项实质的工作，就是为‘国大学生团结阵线’设计一个标志。

经过了好几个月的讨论和思考后，除了已经为国大学阵开设中文版专业——‘国大学联’，笔者也和几位志同道合的朋友决定设立一个阵线，以在往后的日子里更有规划和组织。我们想了又想，究竟要引进已经在数间大学扎营的‘前进阵线’，或选择自立门户，开创新的一个组织。最后，考虑到国大校况有别于其它大学，我们因此决定量身打造一个适合国大全校的一个阵线，取名为‘国大团结阵线’。

这是一条较为崎岖不平的道路，因为我们都知道万事起头难，尤其是在国大成立一个新阵线，更加是难上加难。我们的决定也意味着我们必须要从零开始，但好在此路并不孤行。

为何选择成立‘国大团结阵线’？

国大身为政府资助大学，很自然的就在校园内形成了一个‘小社会’，恰恰就反映了马来西亚社会多元种族的情况。在这个小社会当中，可以预见的是，未来国家的社会就是以这种方式去成长、形成。话说回来，这个小社会所出现的一个现象已经日趋严重，使到我们看到改善此现象的重要性。这现象就是，国大学生种族间的分化越来越严重，这也是马来西亚社会所面对到的其中一个问题。经过了多年的独立，大马各族之间虽然已不形成明显的对立，但是族群间的分化依然存在，这也可以从国大的情况看得出来——土著与非土著在举办活动方面，多是以族群区分、国大各组织所参与的成员以及最基本的，在上课情况方面。我们习惯于投入在本身族群里，在安全区内生活，而忽略了与各族融洽交流的重要性。

这些情况也并非是一日之寒，而是从小我们惯于特定的族群而形成的现象。从我们的教育，直到我们的日常生活，很多同学其实是不曾与异族同胞一起生活的。来到国立大学后，我们有幸成为真正的马来西亚人，学着如何去了解和认识各族同胞之间的差异。这其实对我们任何人来说，都是一个很好的机会。

因此，‘国大团结阵线’的成立就是抱着改善族群之间的关系，以及为各族同胞谋取福利为我们的奋斗目标。我们深信马来西亚未来美好的社会是由各族间良好的关系而共同创造的。遥望校外，已经有一群斗士不分族群之别为大马人民奋斗，在校内的我们当然不能置身事外，而是应该各尽所能为马来西亚创造美好的未来。

*在构思标志时，各族牵手是笔者所要表达的主要概念，意味着马来西亚的兄弟姐妹们都能不分你我的为共同的理想前进。我们都是一家人。

The clear weather of the day was enough for me to have a very good mood, and this had also made me in the mood of starting my 'job', after days of resting. First task of all, is to draft a logo for SUF, Student Unity Front.

After months of discussion with few of my friends, or well to say, my partners, we had decided to set up a new front in UKM. This move is so important for our future plans, after we had assist GM in opening their chinese language Facebook page. We had choices, such as 'import' an existing front from other universities like Student Progressive Front, or setting up a brand new front in UKM. After all, we felt that creating a new front in UKM will be more appropriate due to our different culture and situation compared to others IPTA.

This will not be easy, and will be a road that obviously harder to walk but gladly, we have Pioneers that willing to walk this road together, just because we have same and common objectives.

Why 'Student Unity Front'?

As we know. UKM is an IPTA which the enrollment was decided by UPU or another word, the government. This had formed a 'mini society' in UKM, which consisted of students from different races.  In this society, we learned and formed the real society out of the campus in the futute. Unfortunately, there is a phenomenon that worries us. We faces a crisis of division among races. After years of independant, we could say that there is hardly a clear or obvious conflict between races, but the problem of division is still there. This can also be seen in the way of living by UKM students, where we used to live in our own community. We organise, we join, we participate, only the activities of our own races; we still see a club or a committee by the angle of race. Even in lectures, we grouped only with the friends of same race.We are just too used of being in our comfort zone, without bothering the importance of communicating with people from different backgrounds.

I would say that this situation was here since long ago, starting from our education, till our way of life. We might never spend a minute with a friend from different race before we step in to UKM. Anyway, from being a part of UKM, we have the opportunity to be a real Malaysian, a real rakyat from this country that we have the chance to understand more of others culture and their differences

Therefore, Students Unity Front aimed to improve the relationships between races and also voice up for every member in UKM without considering the colour of our skins. We believe that Malaysia's harmony society in the future depends on every rakyat in this country. There are bunches of Heroes out there, fighting for this aim today, and why should we in the campus stop ourselves from doing so, too?

*The main concept of drafting the logo is, everyone of us in Malaysia are holding hands together, as one. We are in one FAMILY.

24小时至大选

还有不到24小时，就将引来大家等待已久的大选日。这次的机会，或说，这唯一一次的机会能不能被把握住，过了不久后就有所分晓。

我无时幻想着，当一则一则的好消息传来后，带来的喜悦很兴奋；但也幻想了那残酷的败绩传入耳后那份的悲痛，如何撕裂期人民的心。 我想，许多人都和我一样，抱着‘悲观中抱希望’的态度看这一次的大选——虽然觉得国阵依然能在耍尽各种手段后抱着政权，却无比的希望奇迹能够降临，改朝换代不再是梦想。

国家是大家的，无论你来自任何政党。而为了自己的政权，典当国家多年来辛苦建立的和谐，值得吗？分钱、买通、恐吓、制造幽灵选民，你真的以为可以一手遮天吗？人民都看在眼里。我相信不管成绩如何，大家都已经看得非常清楚。你可以从人民手中偷走胜利，骗走政权，但是你也同时拐走了马来西亚美好的未来。

在倒数一天的这一刻，真正的马来西亚人会站在一起，会为不正直和不廉洁抗议，会凝聚力量抵抗一切不公！身为检票员的，请必定要誓死尽所能防止舞弊发生！手握选票的选民，请一定要使用选票为武器，打到贪污滥权，给我们国家一个美好未来。其他的朋友，请迫切的为国家祈祷，我深信这会大大的成就！

只有靠着大家，“五月五，换政府”才不会只是个口号。
