Yet another innocent man died in the gallows of what should be upholding justice. Are Malaysians angry?
Apparently, yes. They were shocked, saddened by the sudden departure of a budding young man who would have been a fine politician. 30 year old. This is not a big number, it is an age you and I can achieve easily.
He was supposed to marry his darling fiancee who had a 2 month old unborn inside of her, his child. He was to quit the political aide job so that he could be by her side and be in Malacca for the rest of his life raising that innocent child.
He was not the first death to made it to the news headlines. Different personas, same kind of victims. Who did they die to?
We all have the answers. We all know who did this. What is keeping us from taking any action towards them? What made them not wet their own pants?
It is the years of brainwashing led by the geniuses beyond their times. I applauded Dr Mahathir for being part of this propaganda. Being part of this product clearly enlightenned me instead. The majority of the young became wary of joining what it's called politics. Wary, scared, unimpressed, angry. Through education, we have never been taught to challenge the elderly, mainly the educated, the upper class, the wiser ones. No we've never challenged.
Shouldn't it be time to do so? Ask questions, be clear of the situation, do not take answers like "Because it is so" as an answer. Definitely not.
For years, I've observed myself and my mates getting beaten down just because we question the bureaucracy of the system which I called UTAR. We ask again and again to make clear of the situation. However, the ever "warm" course tutor would constantly say sentences like "I hope it clears the situation and no more questions will be asked". Know what it means? It is a silent threat, saying "Ask more, or faced being expelled".
Sigh.
Why? What's with this mentality? Isn't the tertiary educational system being brought up to constantly ask questions? Why? Why? Why? If we are unsure, don't make us follow rules that we do not know nor matters right? What is with this mentality? Tell me?
But for me, at least I know, I'm not angry. If I clearly don't know, I'll ask questions. If not, I'll challenged the lecturer. I've done so before and I'm very sure I will do it again to rational lecturers who see the light behind all of these arguments. It isn't petty, and I do not argue for the sake of arguing. So listen if you want!
So all I do now is ask questions again and again until they feel annoyed, until they felt compelled to answer these questions, until they feel like puking, till they need to tell the truth. Are you that angry, to kill them? To let them have a shorter life just because one of the comrades are dead?
No, I prefer they stay, I prefer that their lives prolonged, so they'll forever see that gush of blood at their hands, that their accidental "oops" slip led a man fell 9 storeys down. That they will live, in constant fear of getting stoned should they be among the public.
Are we angry? Yes we are. But are we going to let the anger get through our heads and resort to cursing them? No.
But if that's the case, more people will die due to injustice wouldn't it? Yes
Darren Kang, A. Kugan, Teoh Beng Hock however, will not die in vain. They have prepared a path for the next election to come. Lets watch and see, how many more people can choose to ignore the very blatent truth in their face and still fleeing themselves from being part of the destruction of society, one that can only be salvaged, when youngsters are going to actually make a move.
Are you angry? Yes, I am.
Are you?
