Demo

Demo?
Demo?
Demo?

Ntah la.

You go here, they say "TNB beli power ngan IPP mahal (RM 1.2-1.5 billion ), tapi bayar kat pengguna murah lak. Dah tu, nak cover balik kerugian TNB, rakyat kena bayar". And they also said, "TNB ngan IPP punye deal tuh, even kalau TNB x gune power yang disupply oleh IPP, TNB still kene bayar gak kat IPP. Padahal dah terbukti, terang lagi bersuluh, yang TNB ade around 40% excess power yang jadi umpama aset kosong, rugi cenggitu je... isk.. rugi aa TNB kalau asik camni".

So, what to do. Demo. Revolt. Reform. And the consequences? Catastrophe, darah sini, darah sana, benjol sini, lebam sana, patah sini, pecah sana. Walaupun dinamakan demo yang aman, tapi, still, a demo is still a demo. You can't turn rocks into golds unless you are psycho enuff to do so.

And then, come another kind of people. "Ini la kesan demo. Rugi duit. Buang masa. Pegi-pegi kena pukul. Pegi-pegi kena belasah". Hmm...

A lil bit off-topic, but not so

I loved to watch this anime, Ghost In The Shell : Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig. In the anime, there was a bunch of terrorist known as Particularist Eleven, or Individualist Eleven. They were not a group of people actually, as they executes extraordinary actions on their own, but under the same dream.

The main antagonist in the anime series was a man named Kuze, an individual who fought for the independence of Dejima from Japan. Honestly saying, anyone who truly watched the movies would be thrilled how this Kuze guy actually became an idol for all the people in Dejima to fight for their independence. Before the arrival of Kuze, Dejima was more or less a haven for homeless people, and the situation was very bad, it's like the vice versa of Tokyo. Kuze, who had the spirit of individualism and revolutionist as well as reformist, used the Dejima Agenda to wake up the people of Dejima and stand on their own, creating a war with the Japanese Government. They even made a deal with the Mafia and bought a Pu-239 nuclear (Plutonium la for those who don't know).

Now, a little history

Demonstration, revolution, reformation had been a choice for many, even during the early years.The Industrial Revolution in the early 1900s (or izzit end of 1800s, i had forgotten bout history so long huhu~ ). When you reform, you must first have a good, strong reason to do so. Then, you unleash it. With your full strength. With the greatest of your energy. You unleash all you have and show it to the powerful ones, who is strong and might, and who is weak and timid, covering themselves under sheets,blankets and shadows of unlawful law.

Ever watched V for Vendetta ? If you haven't, you should watch it. That's what it means when you start a revolution. You wish that it would happen that way. Yes. Yes. That way. That way. That 'nasty' way. The long road you took, all the bruises and cuts you got, all the punches and kicks you received, all that, worthy enough for a full optimum 100% win. Victory.

The world had watched how Iran during the Shah Iran regime changed it's face. Students revolt, and then killed. KILLED. Killed and that sounded an alarm to the whole state, and gave a warning to the whole government, that something is about to change. From the students body, to the Islamic scholars, then to the voice of the civilians, slowly the 'unnamed' feeling was absorped by many. The Air Force turn against the government, then the Naval, then the whole army, and finally Shah Iran fled away, when all turned against him.

The same thing goes in Indonesia, during the regime of Suharto. During his regime, anyone who opposed him will never see the next day, you'd better wish it. His spies were here and there, killing anyone who criticized him in the public. Then, the people got angered. The burden were just too big. The students revolt. and KILLED. And the whole situation turns mad. From Javanese to Sumatra, the whole Indonesians were mad with the supreme leader, and he finally stepped down.

Malaysia, A Coincidence

Honestly, I do not know if Malaysians will ever get aware of how revolution / demonstration / reformation can actually change a nation, a country. "Umpama melepaskan batuk di tepi tangga". That's what Malaysians are. I don't know if Malaysians will ever, ever change. Someone does a demo, and another one criticized him. Well, don't get mad for my post here. I'm not here to 'tembak' anyone, this is my open point. Any critics, any suggestions, any comments, PLEASE DO SO.

It's just that Malaysians are a very unique kind of people. The only 3rd world country which gained it's independence without any killings, any demonstration, any revolution. Perhaps this is why some said that Malaysia is yet to be independent ? Thinking, thinking and keep thinking.

"Mereka merancang dan Allah merancang, dan Allah sebaik-baik perancang". Fikir-fikirkan. Perlukah demo itu. Wajarkah demo itu. Saya menyokong? Saya menentang? Sendiri fikir sudey. Read my post and think yourselves.
