This might not be the right time~

In the name of Allah, the most gracious, the most merciful~

Ecstatic..Alhamdulillah..

here I am, in the middle of the night, siting alone in the dark facing my "baby blue".
It is a great relief that I have finally made my way toward the completion of my English assignment. It was quite a challenging task, the last time i wrote a long essay was 4 months ago. A 3000 words essay for Madam Ruth's subject. this one is just 1800.. yea.. but, still.. 800 extra words to think about!

This might not be the right time to "write" but I cant help myself. I have another urge of vomiting my thought into words so I can see the letters dancing in front of my eyes... Just for pleasure's sake~

Maori, Malay, the struggle

I understand just exactly about the current dispute that overwhelmed the Maoris people of NZ. Maybe, it will be unfair for a newcomers like me to say so, but.. its enough that I say, we are in the same boat..

I really think that Malaysia and New Zealand share a lot of things in common; the culture, the society and the education. We are blessed with multiracial, or in NZ's case, bi-cultural society. Essentially, not being a mono-cultural community is both a blessing and a curse. It is really much depending on how our people perceive, think and value the situation.

first thing first~

We in Malaysia faces twofold of what the people of NZ face. meaning to say, in NZ, there are only two main community; the Maori and the Pakeha. In Malaysia on the other hand, we have to cater the needs of the 3 main races; the Malays, the Chinese, the Indians alongside the indigenous people of Sabah and Sarawak.

We crept for the lose of integrity that the people of the land use to have. We are aware of the condition and right of the people of the land that seem to be left out. we mourn to the fact that our children may not be given equal share of the land's fertility. We lamented to the position of the people of the land, despite being the rightful owner of the soil, are far left behind in many aspects.

These concerns fuel our effort to struggle..

I am just thinking that, ya..its true that the government should take a great responsibility and take note of what the people of the land have to say. Not as the symbol of their specialty, but this is due to the sense of humanity. That regardless who we are, we share something in common; we want the best for everything.

however, it is also important to note that, the struggle for a better education does not rely on one side alone, rather, it is a responsibility that has to be shouldered by everyone. My point is, I am amazed with Maori's people upbringing. They are nurtured to have the full respect to the land, forest and the water. They grow together with the earth and hence create a strong bond with their environment. As a person, I see this as a great potential for learning. Regardless what the race are, children share one thing in common when it comes to education. They want to be engaged, appreciated and acknowledged.I think, the way one is uprooted should be the motivation for him or her to bounce and soar even higher, not something that should hold you back.

Education serves as the meant to prepare everyone for the real life. It is in fact, a formal medium of learning. Apart from what they learn informally, schools aid them to foster their individual development as a child and guide them to see their path to the future clearer. I noticed that, it is not what is wrong with the legislation that bothers us or cause social unrest. It is in fact, the implementation and how people think..
