FREEDOM

Nobody like to be caged like a bird . Even birds like to be able to fly freely into the sky without no one telling it what to do . Freedom is a valuable asset . It takes a lot of effort to get to it and even greater effort is needed to maintain it . Freedom is like a girlfriend . If today you can keep her in the relationship , the next moment might be your last time seeing her .

In Malaysia , eventhough Islam is proclaimed as an offical religion and all Malays are considered as  Muslim under the Federal Constituition ,  the freedom for the non - Malays to practise their respective religion is cemented as the basic structure of the Constituition and the Government had gone to great length to preserve this status . In fact , the government had granted land titles for churches , temples , mosques , even synagogues . From time to time , they also provide financial assistance for the religious committes to conduct their mosque , church and temple activities .

However , I ' m not here to preach just about religious freedom . I wanted to talk about political freedom . You see , under the Federal Constituition and civil based which were based on the British module , all of Malaysian citizens were granted freedom of speech . In fact , the recent amendment of Peaceful Assembly Act allowed the citizens to hold peace assembly in a specific place that is reserved for that purpose . However , the recent demonstration which occured about 3 months had seen the demonstrators being violent and tried to breach the blockade made by FRU and security agencies in order to be at Dataran Merdeka when the police had stated that Dataran Merdeka shall not be used for assemblies any other than national occasions . Instead , the police had provided a stadium for the assembly to go on , only to be rejected by the organisers . The blatant disregard of police 's order not to assemble near Dataran Merdeka showed that the organiser had abused their freedom and displayed a sense of disrespect for the Law .

Moreover , I had came across numerous blogs , whether its pro - government or pro-oppositions , who tried to slid each other's throats by posting super - imposed photos , derogatory remarks against their opponents and some even exposed sexually explicit videos in which the authenticites are questionable .
To both government and opposition sides , please remember that the SUPREME LAW , Federal Constituition had given an ample space for you to practise your freedom of speech as long as it does not compromise the nation' s security and harmony of the country . To some of you who still try to commit "menangguk di air keruh " act , my advise is that you better stop doing it . It won't bring any good effect to anyone . In fact , you are painting an ugly colour to the value of democracy which are practised in Malaysia .

To those Malaysian who are reading this post , I sincerely hoped that you will put some thought to this issue . Now , just remember that all of us are equal by the LAW just like all of us are equal in front of Him , THE SUPREME LORD  . Support the right cause , not the wrong one .
