Malays and Politic

After GE 14 that was held on May 18, the political landscape of Malaysia totally change.  The people call it a New Malaysia seems it is 1st time Malaysia had a change to a new political party instead of 60 years winning by Barisan Nasional.


This change makes all the other countries intriguing with Malaysian people.  It's rare to change the controversial government with only win by-election. It's pleasure to have indirect respect from the other countries.  But day after day, I still doubtful about the change.  For Pakatan, it's clear for them to move this new page of Malaysia into open debate, transparent, no restriction law for students and attempt to make positive economical grow. 

But, certain people especially typical Malay who not vote for Pakatan, they try to do whatever they can to make this government fall.  One of the famous media is Facebook.  Till now, I try to avoid to quarrel with anybody at the facebook.  Most people use FB as their social media connection.  But sometimes, they express something annoying and show how shallow their think.  Certain people that gather into this group is my former schoolmate or childhood friends.  I think to make my relationship with them in good relation, I should terminate them as my friend on Facebook.  Because it's clearly not all your idea accepted to the other people. 

For me, Malay should take this opportunity to rejuvenate their self into a challenging world.  How long for them to hope for Government's subsidies.  If you are Father, sometimes give wealthy to your children will make them dependent and lazy.  I do agree, some of the poor need to help, but not all the contract simply go to the certain people only and they just make money simply by only paid to the others contractor to do a job.

Some of the Malay, the cannot change their mindset.  Some of them still have conservative thinking of Islam without knowing what happens to occur in this global world now.  For instance, some people suggest for Malaysia to change our currency money into gold to follow prophet Muhamad PBUH century.  It's such a historical ignorance, and I believe he doesn't know what is the history of this global economy. Who is conquered the world economy and how the fiat money exists? I'm not said that Gold money is not good, but we can implement it if Malaysia wins for the next World War.

  I don't talk about Chinese or Indians because they are the minority and don't have a special right in the constitution like Malays. I just hope for a better Malaysia.  Malay will still relevant if they are ready to change their mindset. If not, I don't know either this Malaysia country will exist for the next 100 years.

PhD Journey

I'm officially entering into Ph.D. life in September.  By the time I wrote this article, the time is ticking and I'm done for 4 months of my journey.  Well, if I describe my journey as a path, now I'm struggling to put my foot on that path.  I'm now in the process to take the potential path and what should I learn.

I put aside all the tips, quote or motivation.  It's good for early but if you take too much, it's no help you and make you more scare.  Believe me.  Of course, all the suffer and problem awaiting you in front, but life is a process.  Everyone will face what the earlier man facing it before.

When you are on study, you may find a problem, no solution and clueless.  Sometimes, you fill that you face a huge wall and you cannot penetrate into it.  Ironically, if you ask me, I will say that a good achievement to sure that you learn something until you achieve that problem.  Compare to the people who don't know what he should or must know.

So, be patient.  The time will be a medicine.  Someone said, 'Fake it, till you Make it'.

Good Luck, Rizal.
