THE CONSTRUCTION OF MALAYA

Image above explains the history

of formation of Malaysia in brief

On 27 May 1961 at a hotel in Singapore, Tunku Abdul Rahman recommended a plan to form Malaysia in his talk which will consist of the Federation of Malaya, Singapore, Brunei, Sarawak and Sabah. He also declares that everyone agreed to form Malaysia in Singapore.

In addition, he believes that many problems will be solved if the 5 colonials of British combine together. However there are some parties who are rejected the formation of Malaya because of the several reasons.

• Afraid that outsiders would have the chance to exploit the natural
resources in Sabah and Sarawak for their own financial and job support.
• Afraid that the politics of Malaya will force the native people of Sabah and Sarawak to adapt to Islam religion.

The reaction from the Singapore is, Lee Kuan yew welcomed the idea. However, there was a strong opposition from left wing leaders (United People’s Party (UPP). Brunei preferred to achieve own independence before joining Malaysia. Sabah and Sarawak received encouraging responses from the people. Malaya (Tanah Melayu) support for merging was generally acceptable.

During February-April 1962, the Commission have gathered 4000 people and received 2200 memorandum from a variety of parties which were made of political parties, members of government and visitor assembly, religious leaders, workers union and the public for their opinions. In general, more than 70 percent of the meeting agreed with the idea and on 21 June 1962, the report was sent to the British government.

The public statement was finished at Stadium Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur. The announcement of Malaysia’s formation was read in front of the Yang Di Pertuan Agong, the Council of Rulers, and Governors of Penang, Malacca, Singapore and Sabah. Leaders from three new states were also present, En. Lee Kuan Yew, Mr. DonaldStephens and Mr. Stephen Kalong Ningkan.

Though, Singapore’s ties lasted no more than for two years before it had to separate in 1965. The formation of Malaysia in 1963 was one of the greatest achievements by Tunku Abdul Rahman. Commonly known as “Tunku”, he is remembered as the “Father of Independence”. The national flag was raised for the first time in all 13 states and two federal territories of the new nation on 16 September 1963. However on 9 August 1965, Singapore officially announced its separation from Malaysia. Currently, Malaysia consists of 13 states (11 peninsular states and two from East Malaysia) and three Federal Territories.

HISTORY OF MALAYA INDEPENDENCE DAY

Malaysians are unique compared to the other countries for the reason that the great effort for their independence did not cause blood spills, loss of lives or property, or involve any arms rebellion. Malaya's independence was made potential due to a crucial element various nations did not achieve – the courageous unity in spite of the various ethnic groups, cultures and religions. This unity and harmony turn out to be the main strength, and the base for the Alliance Party to carry on with the discussion with the British to claim Malaya's Independence.

According to Lamography Magazine declared that “The first Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra spearheaded the effort for independence, leading a delegation of ministers and political leaders of Malaya (now Malaysia) in negotiations with the British in London for Independence. Agreement was reached on February 8, 1956, for Malaya to gain independence." In the sequences, as Tunku arrived in Malaya returning from London he brought good news that independence would finally come to Malaya. Then the independence was authorized declared that independence was made the next year, on August 31, 1957, at Stadium Merdeka in Kuala Lumpur. It was great and successful moment after great effort and long endurance; we gain our independence which was gone in 1511.

why Hollywood does not tell the truth story ?

Everyone is aware of the huge sums of money that are earned by people in the entertainment industry. But, what you may not be aware of is that it’s not only the movie stars that make enormous sums of money. The creative people behind the television shows and movies are also paid fantastic sums of money. For example, a creative producer of a reality television show could make as much as $50,000 per episode. But the question is why some of the producer did not produce the truth stories based on the “truth stories”? Have you ever thought like “why would someone make a movie about this?” or like “oh come on, I could come up with something better than that?” "For me, there are several reasons why they choose that way. First, as we all know every person life’s not good as what they planned and not perfect as what they want. Sometimes, the producers produce the stories by not telling the truth because they want to cover the shamed about the people .It is something not good and not appropriate when we reveal others weakness or shame . In other words, do not want the audience influenced by something that not good for them. Second is, the producer wants to gain the more profit by not reveal or produce the stories based on the ‘truth’. Producer trying to make the story by follow the trend of the story. The adding of the scene can make the story more interested and gain the attention of the audiences.

Prisoners to get varsity-level courses.

My opinion about the newspaper excerpt entitle “Prisoners to get varsity-level courses” dated 3 March, 2013 taken from New Strait Times. My opinion as a response to be sent to viewpoint is the prisoner’s needs the education even they are committed the crime. The education is important to them because it very helpful for them once they are release from the prison or after serving their sentence. People never look down to them even they are ex-prisoners because of the education that they have. The education may help them to find the jobs. They may also apply the educations or skill that they have learned along they are in prison. Next of my opinion is, they suppose to get the education because of their right. As we all know, every each person have their own right on education even the person is the prisoners. They have their own right same as like other normal people. For example, the prisoners manage to study. It can be proven by “The Open University Malaysia has offered 10 scholarships in various fields to the prisoners. Currently, 24 inmates are studying for their diplomas and degrees. “Since July last year, 1,764 prisoners had received certificates in skills training and 703 obtained certificates for other achievements”. As for the conclusion, I’m totally agree and do support with the government to give the varsity level courses to the prisoners.

Stereotyping

Stereotyping is exaggerated generalizations associated with a categorizing system, they go beyond the facts at hand and make claims that usually have no valid basis. It is also something that most people find difficult to avoid from doing. Roger and Steinfalt (1999) define a stereotype as “a generalization about some group of people that oversimplifies their culture.” Why do people stereotype? Bruno (1999) observes, “The tribal drum beats in all societies, warning members of the tribe, even those who are different tribal behavior, from religious warfare in Northern Ireland and the Middle East etc. Aliport (1958) originally observed that people are more likely to stereotype individuals and groups with whom they have little contact. For example, “you might have a whole set of beliefs about Middle Eastern Muslim women, many of whom cover their bodies and faces and walk well behind their husbands. Sometimes, stereotyping occurs because people have had a negative or positive experience with a person from another culture or co-culture. In one investigation people stereotyped black people after only one observation of a negative behavior.”

Baby-for-sale racket

“If money were the only criterion by which a child’s welfare can be gauged, then a baby bought for as much as RM40, 000 on the black market would seem set for life. For money- rich but child-poor couples, it is a small price to pay to introduce a small life into their home. The cot is gilded, the blanket monogrammed, the college fund filled to the brim. All that’s wanting is a bun in the oven. And where there is a baby-for-sale racket, money can indeed buy happiness. And after all, why not?” My view for this statement is I do support the decision that made by poor couple by sold their child to rich couple that willing to buy that child. The baby was bought for as much as Rm40, 000. According to the statement, the poor couple was not able to support their child’s life even their own life also was not stable. In other words, when they sold the child, the child will get better life with the money rich couple. The child will get better education and not impossible the child’s life will be more comfortable. The burden for poor family also will be lighter. In the nut shell about my view about this statement, I may conclude that, what the poor couple had done which is by sold their child it is does not mean they are cruel parents. But, they believed they will do anything in the way to make sure their children will get better life and guarantee life with the new rich family after this.
