Luar biasa Malaysia kini.

Dulu teriak2 soal 'freedom of speech' dan 'confidentiality' waktu
memuat posting dari anonymous writer yang menelanjangi sepak-terjang
UMNO waktu servernya disita aparat dan kantornya disegel - tentu
saja tulisan ini bisa bikin YAB Datuk Najib dan YAB Syed Hamid
manggut2 senang.

Rupanya oposan lebih blak-blakan dalam menyuarakan isi hati Malaysia
yang sesungguhnya. Saya heran topik yang dilempar Holy Uncle ini
ngga ada yang nyambar, sebab nyata2nya each paragraph is very
toxical and struck every chords of nationalism feeling.

Indonesia disebut melupakan 'ASEAN neighbourly spirit', 'regional
village thug', 'oil is thicker than blood' dan 'their rednecked war
chants are not unlike wild creatures using urine to delineate
ownership of operating domains'.

Tanpa menyebutkan bagaimana Malaysia sendiri bak kacang lupa
kulitnya, sebagai OKB di region ini telah bersikap tidak etis dan
menginjak2 harkat-martabat bangsa yang disebutnya 'kakak'. Kemarin
waktu diperlakukan tidak etis oleh Singapore, mereka protes2 tidak
karuan dan well... it takes elephant to remember.

OK, silakan import pekerja dari Bangladesh, Vietnam, India, Sri
Lanka, Thailand and the Philippines.

Bangladesh dan Burmese - dua etnis yang katanya paling troublemaker
dan dibenci para OKB malas dan ngga mau kerja kasar ini. Orang2
Bangla yang diklaim 'repeatedly molest Malaysian women in hawker
places' dan 'famous Chow Kit pickpockets'.
Bangla dan Burmese yang digiring ke detain centers dan disuruh squat sebelum
akhirnya dideportasi masal hanya karena mereka Bangladeshi dan Burmese.

Speak about the Phillipines, do you really think the Phillipines
would be willing to do menial jobs, encik? Pemerintahnya, serudin
apapun telah invest besar di bidang pendidikan. The Phillipines
speak finer English than average Malaysians. In the English speaking
world, Malaysians are of lower chaste, do you really expect them to
take the foundry jobs lower class Malaysians won't do when bulks of
them can get higher paid household and office jobs in other richer
Asian nations ?

Thailand dan Vietnam, are you kidding me ? Para datuk2 UMNO bisa
gampang sakit jantung. Mereka punya Chinese traits dan Chinese looks
jelas bisa lebih gampang membuat mereka mingle with local Chinese,
married to local Chinese - dan MCA bisa mulai naikin jumlah PR,
meskipun tidak dengan cara sekasar UMNO dengan pekerja Indonesia
yang ramai2 dapat PR detik2 menjelang pemilihan raya. Atau yang mau
diambil ini para troublemakers dari Thailand selatan ?

India dan Srilankan ? Hahaha... Sammy Velu will have the last
laughs...

Silakan tidak menerima pekerja Indonesia kembali, encik, dan dalam
waktu singkat akan encik dapati kenyataan tidak semudah bicara.
Tidak ada yang melebihi para Indonesian rednecks dalam kemudahan
disuruh2 mengerjakan segala pekerjaan kasar yang tak diinginkan
pampered Malaysians - dengan gaji rendah, sering telat dibayar,
bahkan tidak dibayar, dengan dipotong kesejahteraannya, social
security tidak dijamin, insurance tidak dicover, tenaga diperas dan
status tidak diberi. The hands that build Sepang, Putrajaya, MSC,
Twin Towers, PLUS highways, whatever monuments you brag today,
with bloods, sweats and tears.

Sisanya jadi bedinde, waited hand and foot menjagai generasi manja
Malaysia. Kalau mereka membuat kesalahan, maka dimuat di halaman
muka The Star, Berita Harian; sementara Nirmala Bonat yang luluh-
lantak diviolate majikan stress dibilang depresi, gila, menyiksa
diri, menyetrika punggungnya dan menyiram diri dengan air mendidih.

Silakan saja melarang menerima tenaga Indonesia kembali ke
Malaysia, sebab memang cara inilah yang benar. Tenaga kerja
Indonesia belum siap karena selain belum siap secara skills, juga
masih menyerupai perdagangan manusia dimana pekerja2 tidak sadar
dan sangat mudah dilecehkan hak2 kemanusiaannya.

Biarlah ini jadi PR pemerintah, bahwa pekerja Indonesia jika bekerja
di luar - harus dengan dignity dan memperoleh treatment yang fair.

Don't let Indon workers back in

The Indonesians are beating their war drums, with its bellicosity directed
at Malaysia, its closest neighbour and so-called 'adik' (younger brother).
At stake is the oil-rich continental shelf off the east coast of Sabah,
where both nations have staked claims and awarded drilling rights to oil
companies.

In Indonesia, right-wing groups have pledged their blood to defend every
inch of the motherland and even threatened Malaysians studying there,
suddenly ignoring both the Asean neighbourly spirit and the blood ties of
Nusantara, the Malay world, so frequently acclaimed during good times.

It seems oil is thicker than blood.

Save for a few cooler heads, its media has joined in the jingoistic cry, as
if directed by an Indonesian Goebbels. These rednecked war chants are not
unlike wild creatures using urine to delineate ownership of operating
domains.

The aggressive approach is obviously preferred to the diplomatic channels of
civilised nations, especially ironic when both Indonesia and Malaysia are
founding members of Asean. But perhaps the Indonesians lack confidence in
the legitimacy of its claim, hence has resorted to the behaviour of the
regional village thug.

The reasons have poured in to explain the Indonesian hostility towards
Malaysia, not witnessed since Soekarno's Konfrontasi. Some attributed it to
the government's attempt to divert public attention from growing domestic
problems.
The universal formula for such an action requires an arch foe for the anger
of a dissatisfied public to be channelled (or redirected) against. Malaysia
has the dubious honour of being Indonesia's current nemesis.

Others said Indonesia is still smarting from the loss of Sipadan and Ligitan
to Malaysia following the International Court of Jutsice's ruling, an
antagonism further aggravated by Malaysia's recent expulsion of a large
number of its citizens, illegally working here. It has 'lost face' that it
cannot and does not want to lose anymore.

Then, of course, there is the wealth associated with the oil-rich region.
There is nothing like an 'inheritance' (from Mother Earth) to split up
'brothers'.

While we hope the prime minister and Wisma Putra will succeed in a peaceful
diplomatic settlement with the Indonesian authorities, we need to examine an
area of concern now gravely accentuated by this recent Indonesian hostility.

The last few days we have heard moans and groans shamelessly from the
construction and plantation industries and even the human resource minister,
on how unnecessary procedures and unauthorised fee collecting on the
Indonesian side have been causing delays in the return of expelled
Indonesian workers to Malaysia.

We now need to reconsider seriously the wisdom of re-importing these
considerable numbers of Indonesians into our country.
What has hitherto been a socially disruptive factor - allegedly contributing
to increased crime rates - has now metamorphosed into a potential national
security problem.

It would be foolish to permit citizens of a potentially hostile country to
enter and reside here in large numbers. They may eventually prove to be our
complete undoing - security wise.

We ought to remember the situation during the periods leading to the last
War as well as the Indonesian Confrontation of the 1960s. There were
respectively Japanese businessmen, and Indonesians and their sympathisers
here, who acted against Malaya/Malaysia's national interest.

There are alternative sources for plantation and construction workers from
Bangladesh, Vietnam, India, Sri Lanka, Thailand and the Philippines. Let's
recruit them from these countries rather than facilitate the entry of
potential fifth columnists.
