Chasing my Malay language dreams forever
The Member of Parliament for Titiwangsa, Datuk Johari Abdul Ghani
Like most of us, I dream. My dream of my malay language are vivid, rich in colour and detail. They fill in gaps in my workaday life we are so mesmerised by the difference that we become indifferent to our Malay language past, and now in the possibilities of our future. History might yet prove, using its special long hand, that differences pale before a common purpose. deputy minister Datuk Dr J. Loga Bala Mohan Never blame our Malay language for your whipping this inferiority complex of our Malay language we are all about exotica and become chauvinistically proud of our cultural heritage. Just like there is a saying that language is a mirror of culture of a country in which the language is used.It is generally agreed that language and culture are closely related. Language can be viewed as a verbal expression of culture. It is used to maintain and convey culture and cultural ties. Language provides us with many of the categories we use for expression of our thoughts, so it is therefore natural to assume that our thinking is influenced by the language which we use. The values and customs in the country we grow up in shape the way in which we think to a certain extent. Datuk Dr J. Loga Bala Mohan should take firm action on the misuse of our Malay language.According to Benjamin Lee Whorf and his theory of linguistic relativity, language shapes the way we think, and determines what we think about. He believed that depending on the language we speak we see the world differently.

Therefore it would not be a matter of surprise if the communal situation in the country deteriorates in the next few months. Incidentally are being cited as the example of riots the likes of which will grip the country in the coming months DAP. is being part blamed by analysts for the riots to happen.
A new “crisis” broke out in Parliament the dark-skinned cannibal who is canibalising the Malay language threatening to spear to death of the Malay language if he bring the Malay language issue in Parliament
If you were to listen to Lim Guan Eng election rhetoric, that’s not honest takeaway. There’s so much chest thumping about how DAP, how we had the most amazing leaders, the finest Chinese culture, the best Chinese schools of learning, the most exciting Chinese politics. It’s all about Destroying of Malay rights? If MCA dare not object when they are humiliated in their own building and openly in front of their member. Lim Guan Eng ask how MCA can fight UMNO to defend Malaysian rights? No wonder, in such a complex world, where your friend could well be owned by your enemy, young Chinese want a leader who can take Malays where Malays is today. They think DAP is that party. they have a track record of inspiring change. Unlike MCA which has always enshrined the status quo. And young Chinese believe, it’s the status quo that hurts Chinese most.The polarization of votes represents DAP’s best chance and this can be best achieved through the idiom and language of Malai Si-yah The more difficult it is to consolidate the ‘us’ into a Pakatan vote enough to enable to come to power Teresa Kok have insulted the “Malay leadership, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Islam and Malay dignity the Republic of Malaysia - signifies. If you want to stretch the argument it will be a battle between competing visions of what constitutes the idea of Malaysia.DAP is also banking on the increasing number of urban middle class Chinese who have benefitted from the process of liberalization and have been impressed by the talk of DAP performance on the economic front in IN pENANGF. First time voters – between the age of 18- 22 – who have little memory of the riots that were common nationwide in 1969 DAP engineered. They would also con PAS on many upper class who believe that UMNO has followed a policy of appeasement of Malay- Muslims in the last 45 years (although the Muslims feel otherwise as stated later in the blog) and now there is a case of a level playing field. The admonishments keep flowing in and suddenly it seems as DAP that had fired so many imaginations can do nothing right. And while it does seem that the party has made some grave errors, some of the arguments being made against Islam are unfair, and care needs to be taken to separate the party’s mistakes from some legitimate if unusual choices that it has made. The criticism that it is inappropriate fo rMalay- Muslims has been widespread, and deserves some scrutiny. To argue that the act of governing carries with it an implicit decorum is another way of saying that rulers must embrace the surrounding aura of gravitas that has historically been associated with power. They must be seen to be spending time in acts of governance, and not be seen shouting slogans and confronting the police. Now while this is conventional wisdom, there is no intrinsic reason why this must be the case. Why is it all right for political leaders to spend time includes giving meaningless speeches, cutting ribbons and laying foundation stones and generally be so involved in the ceremony surrounding the act of administration and not acceptable if they agitate for what they believe in? A new political culture means that some old customs must give way to the new. Using the power of public opinion to agitate for a cause is an option available to everyone, the CM included. If anything, a protest like this, if held peacefully and for the right reason reinforces the idea that democratic persuasion is an on-going process and not a once-in-five-years phenomenon.
MCA suffered the ultimate political humiliation, not from the general election losses and rejection by the rakyat, but from their long time friend in UMNO when Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak told the MCA General Assembly yesterday,”You have the members, you have the people, but it’s like the flesh is there but the spirit is weak. We need some political Viagra… We ask the MIC Health minister to provide the Viagra medication”But does it? Just shift focus a bit from economics to politics; you will be surprised. There’s no way Chinese politics could have ever thrown up the kind of results No, our economy’s not growing at 10%. Yes, we have much too much corruption everywhere. But Malaysia has no political system that allows us to correct our own mistakes. Isn’t that amazing?s voting power to chuck out those who fail us and find the change that can redefine our public life, renew our hope in Malaysia? It will make up for all the lost yearreadmore http://melayukiniatmalaysia.
