I always believe that when two sides are clashing and fighting each other over issues such as autonomy and so on , I am of the opinion that the conflict must be settled in peace . I always believe that such conflicts are unneccessary and does not bring any good to the well being of its people and the nation , as whole . Today , I want to talk about the insurgency and militants who destroyed the tranquility and religious tolerance of the multicultural region of Southern Thailand .
Now , for your information , the militant movement which were initiated by Islamic militant movements of Southern Thailand in 2004 had cause great sufferings not only to Thai Buddhists and Thai Christians , it had also negatively impacted the Thai Muslim community which formed the majority in three provinces of Yala , Narathiwat and Patani . Many casualties had been inflicted on both sides , not only on the military personnels but also the Thai citizens , be it Buddhists , Muslims or Christians . The conflicts in Southern Thai region had further eroded the image and reputation of Islam in this nation of 63 million peoples .
The militants and insurgents claimed that the conflict that they are waging against the central authority of Bangkok is a " holy war " against the unbelievers of Islam . They claimed that the province of Patani , Yala and Narathiwat belonged only to the Muslims . However , the history books proved otherwise . There had been a sizeable minority of Buddhist population , coexisting with their Islamic counterparts in the same region for as long as time can remember . Shall I add on ? Buddhism and Hindusm traditons had existed long before the Kingdom of Patani embraced Islam somewhere between 11th to 13th century AD .
As for the central authority in Bangkok , I think it is the time for you to engage these " parasites " once and for all . Disinfect these " parasites " as I believe they had caused a great deal of sufferings not only to the Thai Buddhist and Christians populations , but also to the Thai Muslim community itself . If the Thai authorities could not handle this problem alone , I think that they should not be shy to form partnership with countries like Malaysia and Great Britain which had proved their battle worthiness in the war against communist guerillas back in the 1950s . Maybe Thailand can also engage several UN peacekeeping teams in Southern Thailand to restore back the much needed peace in that turbulent region .
As for the militant insurgents and the Thai Muslims population , I think this is the perfect time to throw away your firearms and bury the hatchet . Accept the fact that you are now living in Thailand and that you are subjected to Thai central government . Embrace the Thai identity as being a Thai does not make you less Muslim . If both sides are willing to strike a win-win situation deal , this will be beautiful . Just remember that Thai is a race , not a religion . Being a Thai shall never be the excuse for the Muslims to be less Muslims , just like being a Malaysian does not make me less Buddhist and Thai .

MY FAIR LADY SENORITA
If you are the guy who had never been in a relationship throughout your high school years , never had that first kiss with your girlfriend or the worst thing of all , never ask a girl out on a prom night at the end of your high school years , then I can conclude that you had a miserable teenage life . However , do not be worry . You are just a nano fraction of thousands of teenage boys across Malaysia who had never change their status of relationship from being " single " to " in a relationship " .
A classic case of a guy who never changed his " single " status on Facebook is me , myself . Throughout my schooling years in primary , secondary and pre university level , I had been an awkward guy . Awkward not because I am sporting an awkward hairdo or looking like a Frankenstein monster , but I am one of the few guys in school who had never experienced the beauty of having a girlfriend . In the other word , I am just a high school "loser " who never had the " life " .
To say that I do not have the look that will put girls under my charm , is partially false . In fact , I was aware of some attempt by some girls who tried to make the first move on me . Some of them even send me love letters and flowers to my desk . If these girls are reading this , I would like to thank you for your kind act but sincerely saying , please put your name on the card so that I can send back the reply . Some of my male friends even joked that if I entered Bollywood as an actor , Salman Khan will be out of business .
However , over the years , after I reached 20 years of age , I had figured out several reasons why I do not have a girlfriend and why I do not need one for this moment . Firstly , I am still dependent on my parents for a living . I do not own a house , car , steady job and deep pockets in which I can offer to share with my girlfriend . I always believe that my parent's hard earned cash shall not go into my girlfriend 's " maintenance " fees . Instead . I will secure all of those four criterion above before I will call it a time for matchmaking session , on my own feet .
Secondly , I am a huge failure when it comes to making the " first move " on a girl . I do not have the talent to start a conversation with my love crush . Instead , I will somehow bring a " repaired " end to the relationship when the flowers of love have yet to bloom . Although I had planned the best dialogues , words , poems that will even make Shakespeare envious of my wordgasms, the planned conversation will not go as planned . Everything will be messed up and the day will be ended with a " red hand " mark on my face , as the girl walked away from me .
Thirdly , I have yet to find a girlfriend who passed all the " assessment test " of becoming a girlfriend of mine . My " dream girl " should be gorgeous looking young lady , loves kids , good at cooking and mending the house chores and should have at least a high school , SPM certificates . If she is a degree or diploma holder , that would be better . However , on top of that , she must possessed the following virtues in which I believe every girl should possessed . She must be loyal and truthful to the boyfriend , willing to share the sweetness and bitterness of a relationship , must be respectful to her and my parents , family members and relatives . I also expected her to uphold the Eastern values and lifestyle which had been deeply ingrained in myself . In return , I will be the best boyfriend she ever had .
In conclusion , I do not mind being a single young man for as long as I can remember . In fact , I am proud of the fact that I had not been even in a single meaningless relationship with a girl who are trying to play the fool with me . However I sincerely hoped that God will be my LOVE GURU who will try to match me with a young lady . Last but not least , I want the relationship to be " ended " with a love knot in a wedding function .
Now , shall I leave this Youtube music video clip for yours to savour ?

WHEN MONEY IS THE NEW GOD
Have any of you ever wondered who is the new God of 21st century ? Can anybody make an accurate guess ? Alright , I will tell you the answer . The answer is MONEY . Yes , the paper notes and metal coins that everyone of us are using on a daily basis . The only reason why I elevate the status of money from being a legal form of currency to the divine Godliness status is because all of us are worshipping it . Muslims , Christians , Buddhists , Hindus , you name it , we are slowly becoming a servant of the " GOD " . We let this man made creation to take over the place of the real God we had been worshipping for generations .
Now , here is where the story started . In the past , people are much more contented with what they have . The global population were less numerous and certain places are sparsely inhabited . Back then , barter trading were the only way to get basic human supplies such as food , shelter , water and land . However , after the Industrial Revolution to the 21st century , barter trading had to give way to commercial economy which is fuelled by money capital . Under this new system , the more money you have , the better your life . As a result of this new " madness " , everyone is rushing to find more money through legal and non-legal way . The end justifies the mean . This is the part where we lost our sense of humanity . Some of us are willing to be criminals , prostitutes , even killers for the sake of money . Money is never enough , they said . What they do not say , money will not follow you forever .
Well , I believe that the above statement is inadequate . Shall I give you another example ? Firstly , do you think that everyone who frequently crowded the mosques , churches and temples are good people ? Secondly , do you think that the priests , monks or whatever they call it are truly the servant of God ? I had my own answer to both questions . My answer is there are more bad than good people in these places . In fact , some of these people came here to steal holy relics and any valuable possessions belonging to the instituition . This includes antique holy books , statues , jewellery etcera in hope of selling it to interested parties for a high price .
Secondly , some priests , monks are charging exorbitant fees to their fellow devotees for a "spirit cleansing " treatment when the methods of conducting the treatment are questionable . Secondly , some of them are also " forcing " their followers to donate certain amount of money to the temple in order to get amulets which are supposed to make them invincible . The amulets then turned out to be a fake . I have to agree that these people are smart in making quick bucks from their effortless effort but they had made a lot of bad sins and karmas which are only punishable by God .
So , from here , can you see of how money had become our new God . For those people who had " slaved " themselves to the new " God " , I think you should repent and take this word for a thought , " Almost everything needs money , but money is not everything .

WHERE TO STUDY ?
Students always asked themselves where should they further their studies after graduating from primary or secondary school ? If they graduated from primary school , they might be divided between studying at full boarding school , premier non boarding school or just the national school . As for the secondary school graduates , they will be in a deep state of dilemma as they have to make an even tougher choice . This situation can become stickier especially if you are offered a place in polytechnic , matriculation college , university or even a scholarship to foreign university .
Did you ever get into that kind of confusing circumstances ? If you are , do not worry . Sometimes in life , everyone of us had to make difficult decisions . The degree of hardness will increase as you grew older . Still remember when you get your UPSR or PMR result slip and an offer letter from a boarding school was sent to your doorstep ? Do you need to reply to it ? If you are the type of person who are still dependent on your parent and siblings in managing your own life , then I suggest you do not go to boarding school . I think it is better for you to go to premier non boarding or conventional school where you can still travel back and forth from your home .
Now , choosing the right place to study can be a tricky affair especially when you are the " lalang " type of person . What I am trying to say is that you are easily influenced by the external factors eg parents , friends and relatives who claimed this college and courses as such and such etcera . Now , the solution for this problem is simple . What I wanted you to do is to close your eye and ask what your heart wanted you to be ? If you are talented in singing , playing musical instruments , then why do not you sign up for music college such as ICOM , Berkeley etcera . You do not have to be shy to pursue musical courses which are deemed by certain parties as worthless and irrelevant to the job market . Just follow your heartbeat and everything will be just fine .
One of my friends once told me that if you pursue something which is not your cup of tea , it will eat you up from inside . Honestly , he is absolutely correct . If you are inclined toward liberal art courses like me , but choosing engineering courses as your subject just for the prestige and respect by your loved ones , then you are just digging your own grave . I can bet you that you will fail at the end of the semester , crying yourself in the bed ," why is this happening to me ? I should have done liberal arts . If that moment arrived , you have reached a point of no return .
In conclusion , you should know your inclination and talents . The world is your studying place . You do not have to limit your choices . Be clear minded and have a firm stand . Then , I can guarantee you that you will pursuit the beauty of happiness .
NOTE : THE AUTHOR WISHES THE VERY BEST OF LUCK TO FRIENDS , RELATIVES AND ALL MALAYSIANS WHO ARE GOING TO PURSUE THEIR DREAM IN LOCAL PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES THIS EARLY SEPTEMBER

STEREOTYPE INCORPORATED
Have you ever encountered a situation where you are being labelled as such and such by your friends , the whole neighbourhood only because you are different from them ? The kind of difference that I am talking about is your skin colour , race , creed , belief , place of origins , etcera.. ? If you had been through this sticky situation , then I would like to welcome you to STEREOTYPE INC, a company which had been founded by me .
Now , I might surprise or provoke big bussinessmen if I say that if all of the companies including Apple , Microsoft , and so on were combined into a gargantuan consortium , their effort will come to waste . Why ? Because my company is more powerful , more stable and employed 7 billions people on this planet . Some might asked , " Is it true ? " Nah , I am just joking . I do not own any companies . I had just created the term stated above as an analogy to describe how stereotype had been a nasty cancer in among human race . By the way , if you search it on Forbes 500 , you can only find nothing . You have been fooled , HAHA !
By the way , stereotype is a common problem in this multicultural , multireligious country like Malaysia . Everyone of us are so prejudice of each other that we had blinded ourselves of the beauty in diversity and differences in among us , Malaysians . We are often ignorant of the fact that a people 's act does not represent the whole community .
Let me give you an example . Let say I saw a Malay couple kissing in the park . Does it sounds right if I say that all Malay couples like to display public affection ? Of course no . It is only the couple 's act , not the Malay act . They deserve the punishment , not the race . The second example , if I see a Chinese girl wearing an extra tight miniskirt and tight sleeveless shirt, looking like a whore , sitting next to me in a bus . Is it fair for the Chinese if I say that all Chinese girl are sluts ?Of course no . Not all Chinese girls are like that .
I can talk about many other cases involving stereotypes which I had previously experienced . Now for the second part of this drama . I want to expose something even more heartbreaking , and you might want to punch my face . Be prepared for the truth . The truth is STEREOTYPE INC did exist . It had firmly consolidated in our minds and souls that only death can do us part from that impression .
When I was small , I had frequently heard that if I act naughty , some Indian guys will come and catch me . I grew up with that statement and I had to say that it was a complete myth as I mixed with them . I think they are just like me and I always think that if a guy wants to kidnap you , the guy does not have to be Indian . He can be anyone .I also heard that many Indians are drunkers . Well , this statement is not true either . I have seen many Indians who had not touch any liquors and beers even when being offered by friends and colleagues .
The second case , some people said that all Chinese are rich , greedy and liars . They also said that all Chinese can do business and are excellent in Maths . Now , let me correct the above statement . Not all Chinese are rich . Many of them are just like us , average income earners . As for the greedy part , I know of many Chinese businessmen who donated their properties to charities and like to share their fortune with the people . I also know of many Chinese who are honest and does not take anything that is not theirs . As for the Maths and bussiness part , I always believe that anyone can be a Maths prodigy if you worked hard by revision and full class attention . Let me remind you , not all Chinese do bussiness . Many of them are civil and private servants and they had no interest or skills in doing the business transactions .
As for the Malays , they said that Malays are lazy and like to depend on the Government on almost anything . Let me correct this , I personally know a lot of hardworking , workaholic Malays and they can afford to sent their childrens to colleges , buy expensive houses and cars without any special discount or assistance from the Government . Some parties said that Malay students are unable to converse well in English and are not doing well in Science and Maths . Well , this is not true . There are many Malay students who can spoke English fluently , which can be compared to foreign Western expatriates who lives in Malaysia . These students are also smart and they are able to score well in Physics , Maths and so on .
As for the non - Malay bumiputeras living in Peninsular Malaysia , Sabah and Sarawak , some people thinked that these people are still living in the forest , animisme believers and are illiterate . If you had a friend who had this type of stigma , I suggest you smack him in the head and take him for a tour . Let him witness the truth . Orang Asli , Dayak , Kadazandusun , Murut and so on are now enjoying a high standard of living and many of them are successful professionals and businessmens . Many of them are devout Christians and they can write , read and speak better English and Malay than us . By the way , they do not live in the jungle . Many of them had moved out and lived in cities . Some of them also builded huge , rambling house for their families in the kampung .
As for me , many Malaysians thought that all Siamese came from Thailand . This is also a huge lie . For your information , there are around 70,000 Siamese people in Malaysia and many of them are concentrated in Kedah , Perlis , Kelantan and Hulu Perak . There is also a sizeable minority of Siamese community in Penang . Like all Malaysians , we are granted full citizenship and are considered as bumiputeras under the Federal Constituition . Now , I think I had made the point .
In coclusion , do not judge a book by its covers . Just remeber that we shall not treat other people the way we do not want to be treated . Eliminate all the prejudice and stigmas , and I am sure that STEREOTYPE INC will be out of business .

THE NEXT BIG THING IN PARLIAMENT
Let just imagine that you are a politician and you are currently a Member of Parliment for your constituency . Now , let say that the election period had arrived and you were elected as a candidate for the second time in the same constituency . Now , all you have to do is to put some RM100K as your financial capital for the campaign , plus some extra cash , maybe RM5K as your betting money . The only way to get back your RM5K is by getting at least 1/8 of the total voters who voted on the election day .
Now , for the interesting part of this article . Just imagine that a publicity booth and a grand stage had been set up in the public field , which belongs to the municipial council . At night , there were hundreds of people come to your speech . You will be only giving the speech on the grand stage and the booth will do the rest for you . It will distribute free refreshments , some souvenirs and registering new members of your party .
Your job of the night is only to give speech and that is all . So , what kind of speech will you be giving ? Is it about promising the citizens of your area that each and every one of them will get free fuel refill for a day , that is the day after the election should you win ? Or you will be using this oppurtunity to slam either Government or Opposition ' s policies , depending on which side you are , when your own policies are worse ? How about spreading the mega plan ; to take over the nation 's capital when you are on the losing side ?
My question is , should you tell the people by using any of the statement above ? Of course no . You are a politician , not a lawyer . You do not make a living by " cheating " on the people like the way lawyers does . When you are giving your political speech , make sure that your contents are based on reliable , accurate source . Do not simply jumble up everything from the Internet , copy paste here and there and expect the people to believe in every words you says .
When it comes to making promises , do not make empty , illogical assurance to your constituency ' s people . If your party or the government itself cannot afford to bring down the car price in Malaysia , do not promise that ! Just make a vow to the people that you will serve the people during disaster times . Just promise to the people that you will bring down corruption in your area . Make a personal guarantee that your office will be like a open house , where people can come in and tell their problems to the people . Or maybe you can set up an special day in a week , let say Wednesday night where you can personally listen to their arguments about the problems in the constituency .
Just remember that people do not choose you only because you are good looking or super rich billionaires . They elected you so that you will be their voice in the Parliment , a guy who can speak up for the constituency ' s interest . This is what every politicians ( MPs ) should say .
Now , do not you think that your every vote is important and that you cannot elect someone who is in jail because he or she is involved in crimes . Make your choice wisely . Good night
SAYA PILIH MALAYSIA
Now , for the interesting part of this article . Just imagine that a publicity booth and a grand stage had been set up in the public field , which belongs to the municipial council . At night , there were hundreds of people come to your speech . You will be only giving the speech on the grand stage and the booth will do the rest for you . It will distribute free refreshments , some souvenirs and registering new members of your party .
Your job of the night is only to give speech and that is all . So , what kind of speech will you be giving ? Is it about promising the citizens of your area that each and every one of them will get free fuel refill for a day , that is the day after the election should you win ? Or you will be using this oppurtunity to slam either Government or Opposition ' s policies , depending on which side you are , when your own policies are worse ? How about spreading the mega plan ; to take over the nation 's capital when you are on the losing side ?
My question is , should you tell the people by using any of the statement above ? Of course no . You are a politician , not a lawyer . You do not make a living by " cheating " on the people like the way lawyers does . When you are giving your political speech , make sure that your contents are based on reliable , accurate source . Do not simply jumble up everything from the Internet , copy paste here and there and expect the people to believe in every words you says .
When it comes to making promises , do not make empty , illogical assurance to your constituency ' s people . If your party or the government itself cannot afford to bring down the car price in Malaysia , do not promise that ! Just make a vow to the people that you will serve the people during disaster times . Just promise to the people that you will bring down corruption in your area . Make a personal guarantee that your office will be like a open house , where people can come in and tell their problems to the people . Or maybe you can set up an special day in a week , let say Wednesday night where you can personally listen to their arguments about the problems in the constituency .
Just remember that people do not choose you only because you are good looking or super rich billionaires . They elected you so that you will be their voice in the Parliment , a guy who can speak up for the constituency ' s interest . This is what every politicians ( MPs ) should say .

SOW THE SEED OF HATRED , REAP THE FRUIT OF DISASTER
Wise man said , " You reap what you sow " . As for me , I truly believe in that statement . I truly believe that if we give the input , we will reap the output . The output can be either positive or negative . If you spread love , you will reap peace . If you plant hatred , you will get a disaster . The concept is very much similar to law of karma . What goes around , comes around .
The reason why I am writing this article is that I had came across several " farmers " who tried to clear the wilderness of " diversity and peace " and turn it into an rubber estate of " anarchy ". What am I trying to say ? I want to use this analogy as a reminder to everyone of you who had been exposed to outside influence especially from any form of electronic and printed medias . I just want you to be careful of these " farmers " who tried to invade and destroy the fabrics which had been mended by our forefathers to form the wilderness of " peace and diversity " that we are living in to this day .
The million dolar question , " Who are these farmers and how they disguise themselves ? " . These " farmers " can be " anyone . They can be politicians , ministers , officers , even teachers . They disguise themselves under the name of freedom , justice and meritocracy . They are usually vocal speakers for their group , voicing their discontent over any issues regarding their community through social medias such as Facebook , Twitter , Myspace and so on . They even had a blog dedicated for their cause .
These people especially politicians and activists are now moving in a new direction . What is the direction ? Their direction is to win the hearts of many Malaysian especially the youth by publishing anti - statement about the Government . By this way , they hope of winning more seats in the next general election . I am not saying that all of their anti - Government 's statements are wrong . It is just that many of their claims are baseless and lies . In fact , I would actually support them if they voiced their protest over certain education issues such as JPA scholarships , Matriculation placements and the usage of Bahasa Malaysia in Maths and Science . Sadly , most of these " farmers " overlooked this issues . They are more interested in attacking the Government for the wrong cause at the wrong time in a wrong situation .
I would like to remind all of you who are reading this post , to study their claims and facts in depth . Look out for any websites , blogs and medias who had different opinions on the issue . After reading on both sides , make your own judgement . If you think that neither sides are correct , then close the book . Do not try to spread any further rumours on the issue . Just think of how many minds you have corrupted if you spread it . Do not let these " farmers " planted the seed of destruction .
