To understand the mind and the soul of our neighbor's nation....Indonesia.....from the lay man point of view..

Why and what makes them hate us so much?????

It all started with the confrontation between Malaysia and Indonesia back in the 1962-1966....to put it simply....Sukarno (the president of Indonesia) at that time hold a grudge due to the creation of Malaysia. Claiming that Malaysia is a British puppet and the formation of Malaysia will increase British control over the Malaya archipelago.Frustrated with Malaysia action to not taking part in the founding of "Maphilindo" and claiming Sarawak and Sabah as part of the Malaysia,Unable to realize his dream of Indonesia raya, holding a grudge. Sukarno decided to pursue with the campaign "Ganyang Malaysia".

So this is where it all started....Malaysia, since the day of it's independence practices constitutional democracy while our neighbor at the early year of independence chose to walk a different path by practicing guided democracy.And what is the different between the two....In Malaysia...yang Dipertuan Agung is the head of the country while prime minister will help with the governing.

Indonesia...being a republic country, they have the president in charge of governing. Back in Sukarno's years of ruling it is widely known that he is a huge fan of communism...n why communism? because unlike other type of practices...communism is sided with the labor and the common people....and for the oppressed nation due to colonization, communism seems like a greater choice...having the absolute freedom to govern the country without intervention from the west.Unlike Malaysia who chose to nurture the diplomatic relationship with the west, Sukarno chose to server the ties completely.

Throughout the independence of Indonesia, the people of that republic had never truly achieved a real freedom...because of a long period of colonization. the post-colonization era is filled with tragic incident. Due to the interfering from the west who sees communism as a threat therefore conspire with Suharto, one of the General during Sukarno era, a coup had taken place and Sukarno is overthrown. Suharto replaced Sukarno as the president and the new era begin. The relationship with the west is mended. The economic condition improving. Communism eroded and replaced by the New Order which the army had taken the center stage...this is the reason why even after Suharto is forced to resign...the army is still a prominent figure and quiet feared in Indonesia.

Due to the recession and the issue of corruption. Suharto is forced to resigned and slapped with corruption charges. Even his family paid the price for it.This is the moment where the real democracy arisen...Indonesian finally has the real chance to speak out, to choose and to give opinion about certain matters. The media finally has a total freedom to do whatever they want to do and write whatever they want to write without the government peaking every second.

Felt cherished with that bless. Their axis now is concentrated on "Reformasi". With hope that Malaysia, will choose to walk the same path, and overthrow the present government by seeing Anwar Ibrahim as their own version of Megawati Sukarnoputri....once again, the hope sank to the bottom of the sea...because Malaysia refused to walk in the same shoes. The fact is loud and clear, the Malaysian has a much capable leader than Indonesia..

Hence, seeing Malaysia as a rebellious little brother, Indonesia started to feel threaten and the old grudge rise again. The Indonesian media, being the culprit behind all the commotion that occurs lately has finally cross the line and become the spark that give birth of Malaysia vs Indonesia Confrontation part 2. Sensationalized the issues of between Malaysia and Indonesia, twisted every detail until the truth and the lies intertwine, with the support of their government to evade the truth about their weakness in administration, blinded by false patriotism....the hatred and the hate towards Malaysia has born. But this heat of  hatred only felt strongly at the Java island where the capital city of Jakarta takes place.And not the whole nation.

These extreme groups comprises of the schools teenagers and the university students: the pawns which mind are easily manipulated, the academician and politician with ulterior motives, the innocents bystanders whose mind are blinded by phony patriotism and  the biased media greedy to make money have nurtured the hatred towards the whole Indonesian nation. The Indonesian nation is a nation full of pride and patriotism. These elements are what make they overlook the real issue that they are suffering which are poverty and incapable current leadership. The ongoing difficult life that they undergo while the rebellious little brother citizen live in prosperity help in inducing low self-esteem inside them.

Claiming that Malaysian are showy people and culture-stealing nation without even thinking that more than quarter of Malaysian citizen ancestors are originally came from Indonesia. Don' they have the right to practice their own culture? Is it fair for the Malaysian citizen?

If Malaysia is so much at fault with stealing Indonesia culture in order to promote Malaysia at the eyes of the world. Why don't the Indonesia administration do something to promote their culture outside?The lack of or might be non-existence promotion of Indonesian culture is the real issue here. No effort taken to nourish and introduce their own culture to the outside world.

The freedom to use the internet without restriction from their government is also one of the reason things getting worse. Indonesia is the largest country in South East Asia. Their population outnumbered Malaysia population with big number. Therefore, they have the power to manipulate the internet to create propaganda. Imagine one people spreading false information to create chaos between Malaysia and Indonesia, the multiply in by millions....and multiply again by millions...each day and every day.....the non-existence issue will become a bigger issues that will surely sure shake the good relationship between Malaysia and Indonesia.

When talking about Indonesia. People will have the concept of inept leadership where corruption takes a center stage, the Indonesia labor migration to other country because of the lack of job opportunity or the cheap pay given to the labor, the inability of the leader to get in control of it's provinces  and the feud with the separatist (remember Irian, East Timor and Acheh?). But, failing to take a closer look at this matter, the Indonesia government trying to divert the focus to Ambalat. Claiming that Malaysia is once again, After the joining of  Borneo into Malaysia, is stealing the land of Indonesia little by little. If they so much lack of capability to govern such a big country, why do they still insist on keeping them?

Then again....Indonesia as a nation full of pride. The pride that they hold on to is the weapon that drove them to the ground. Malaysian should keep their mouth shut and ears deaf from the provocation by made Indonesia. Fighting back or try to rationalize with people who unable to think rationally is worthless. If the Malaysian learn not to be provoked easily and keep mumming...the noise will stop...

One day, the Indonesian will realize that they are barking at the wrong tree...and they will understand that the true meaning of freedom is not only restricted to freedom of speech, they should begin to see that the day when they able to get the job without having to pay someone, when they able to walk into the prestigious shopping mall with being classed or stopped by the security guard, that the big restaurants are not only for the elites, where everyone get the privilege of free education and healthcare system...and that is the time they can hold on to their pride without having to be looked down by other nation.

n that's funny

I'm known as a girl with "a slap to a face tongue"....i'm not fond of giving nasty remarks but i'm a big fan of cynicism...i have the ability to change even the sweetest moment into a dark comedy....yep...dark comedy is my ultimate favorite genre....
it happens a lot...you know when i say nice things about people, or the situation....my mates will look at me with the eager eyes....looking forward for a twist in my statement....sort of like  when i say "she is pretty" or "it's not that bad" there will be a pause....n people start paying attention....waiting for what will come next...n if i just stop there....they will look at me with disbelief....with the face that said "you should say more....we know it....there must be more..."...and i say "what...can't I just be innocent once in a while.....???"
My besties are familiar wit this side of me....so if they are willing to hear the truth....i would be more than open my mouth to vomit it....I'm not good at giving advice....but i could give you the real picture of your situation...i won't say nice words to make you happy...i will give the reality in front of you n i make fun of it....yep...make fun of it....
n why wud i do dat????....coz 4 god sake.....i'm tired of seeing people lie to themselves n asking other people what they should do...when they don't bother to listen...n they know fully well...what they want is stay stuck with the problem...coz making decision will get them hurt.....by making decision they have to move on...they have to start anew...they have to begin from zero again....it's ugly...see...that's why people don't bother with the truth...coz they have gone to far....n after all the wasted efforts...they can't just stop n start over....it's easier to be the victim than try to find the solution...it's easier to dwell in their misfortune rather than move on with their life...coz people are more afraid of loneliness than useless company.....they are hurting but they don't want to get hurt...don't you think it's funny????
And what's more funny....seeing people lie when there is no reason to lie....with the lame reason "i don't want people talking about me"...wtf is that....don't you think people are dumb that they won't find out the truth....come on...admit it...if you do shitty things...no matter how hard you try, you can't hide it....but if the shitty things you do is not worth hiding....why bother...why make things worse n let people gossiping about you....for example...if your bf give u a car...don't be stupid n tell the world ur daddy give the car to you...u can just smile...n tell people...."it's a secret"....or if u r a second wife, don't go telling people that the reason your husband married you is because he wants a child of his own...coz nobody bothers to know why....if you still expect people will look at you in a brighter light by showing your (lie version) good side....you think wrong....the more lies you give...the more excuses u lay out....the uglier things become....n people will talk even more...
When people are in trouble....or havin a problem wit other people...they always in need of allies to back them up...these people are weak...i always believe...if people mess wit you...somewhere along the line...in the past...you might had screwed with other people...n now the time for reckoning come to your face....but u just can't take it...so b4 you start blaming...why dun u ask yourselves "what is wrong?" before telling a bunch of your friends or selling sad story of your cute little life being ransacked by this or that people....n turn these people into haters just becoz someone screwed your life....why don't u just be strong n face it.fight them your own way..clean up your own mess..why do you think by having people at your side make u right?....they are your friend...of coz they support you no matter how wrong you are.Sometimes the fault is ours...but by having people to support you...it blinds you from noticing it.....
just like Nora Danish blames Fasha Sandha as a husband stealer n a gold digger just becoz Fasha took her husband from her when everybody knows the truth...whether Rizal  belongs to Nora or Fasha....both of them are equally the same....ain't it funny???
