The reason why I named it as it is today as `Don’t Question!` actually reflects my perception towards this issues which have been clearly stated in the Federal Constitution under Article 160, Article 153 and Article 3.Tun Dr Mahathir has said “Don’t question Malay rights!”. On the 15th of June, he has told non-Malays that they should stop questioning the special rights of the Malays and count themselves privileged, having been given citizenship and other rights in this country.Article 160 of Federal Constitution defined a Malay as a Malaysian citizen born to a Malaysian citizen who professes to be a Muslim, habitually speaks the Malay language, adheres to Malay customs, and is domiciled in Malaysia or Singapore. As a result, Malay citizens who convert out of Islam are no longer considered Malay under the law.He urged them to understand history and realize that an agreement was reached before independence in 1957 when the Malays were willing to accept other races as people who could "share the wealth of this land". As had been drawn by the history, with the agreement of all parties, immigrants were accepted as citizens of Tanah Melayu, and they, in that time, had accepted the reality that Malays had special rights as indigenous people of this land.The first Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra in 1957 had willingly given one million citizenships to Chinese and Indians who originally was brought into Tanah Melayu as laborers in rubber estate and tin mines. Which country in the world has given immigrants equal rights? Now in the present time, these two races have begun to question the right of Malays in Malaysia. Who gave them that right? Personally, they are ungrateful. If the Malays were willing to accept the immigrants, then we should not be question on our rights. The reason why I say that these two races are ungrateful is because both India and China have mass population growth, which until now, leads to poverty and suffering. Take a look at Malaysia. In cant be denied that Malaysia too have its own issues to be dealt with. The very well known “Peristiwa Berdarah” of May 13 1969 subsequently led to the imposition of a prohibition on the questioning of a number of Constitutional provisions including Article 153. So now why question it, again??Every time Malays discuss matters related to their own race, they were accused of being racist or chauvinistic. There appears to be an attempt to stop Malays from speaking about our rights. If we speak about our rights, we are called racists. If they speak about their rights, then it's alright. Malays are the aborigine of Tanah Melayu, so of course we are granted with special privileges as what had been stated in Article 153. Rationally, would it be logic if we Malays go to either China or India, flood it with our community and then later claim equal rights with them? No! As our compensation of sharing ‘Tanah Melayu’ with those who are not Malays, it is not arguable that Malays get their special privileges.Secondly, concerning the matter above, the religion of the federation should also not be question. It has been stated in Article 3(1) that Islam is the official religion of Malaysia. In Article 3(1), of the Federal Constitution states that 'Islam is the religion of the Federation; but other religions may be practiced in peace and harmony in any part of the Federation'. Hindus and Buddhist are free to practice their religion, no doubt about that, but now? They seek for equal rights, wanting temple and monks to be build as much as mosques. If that were to be done, how is it possible to distinguished Islam as the religion of the federation? MCA claims that it is true that Islam is the official religion of Malaysia, but that does not make Malaysia an Islamic state, arguing that if Malaysia is an Islamic state, why aren’t we practicing Syariah instead of civil law? The reason for this is simple; it is because we are a multi nation country. We practice civil law instead of Syariah law to be just to the non Muslims. Provided that a Muslim committed a wrong before the Syariah Law, he would be punished based on Syariah Law. Truth to be said, Malaysia does practice Islamic teachings in this country. For example, the system of Islamic banking does or does it not benefit everyone? A system with no extra and hidden charges, proved not only has been helping Muslims but also non-Muslims.Furthermore, for many years, Malaysia has been labeled as one of most influential Islamic country in this world. Plus, as one of the member of OIC, how can you not say that Malaysia is an Islamic country when it is internationally acknowledged by the world? Don’t question something that you don’t have any rights off. It would just lead to another unwanted riot.Allow me to conclude that, I hope all Malaysian, regardless of your race and religion to stop playing these issues in our ears. Stop throwing petrol in a fire. Why choose to live in a havoc and chaotic life when we can enjoy tranquility and harmonies. The pillars of Rukun Negara, `Keluhuran Perlembagaan, Kedaulatan Undang-Undang, Kesopanan dan Kesusilaan` are established to attain unification among our multi racial ethnicity, in order to prevent these questionnaires from arising. Rather than torning it apart, why don’t we speak in one voice to improve and uphold the country! Peace is not impossible to attain. It depends on how we think. Youth,the future is yours.
wahai masa lalu yang telah berlalu dan selesai
tenggelamlah seperti mataharimu
aku takkan pernah menangisi pemergianmu
dan kamu takkan pernah melihatku termenung sedetikpun untuk mengingatimu
kamu telah pergi meninggalkanku dan takkan pernah kembali
wahai masa depan,engkau masih dalam ketidakpastian
maka aku tidak akan pernah bermain dengan khayalan
dan menjual diri hanya untuk sebuah dugaan
aku pun tidak bakal memburu sesuatu yang belum tentu ada
kerana esok hari mungkin tidak ada sesuatu
esok hari adalah sesuatu yang belum diciptakan
dan tidak ada satu pun yang dapat disebutkan
maka bantulah diriku
menjadikan hari ini milikku dan milikmu
agar apa yang kupunyai hari ini
mampu ku kongsi bersmamu hingga sampai masa
matahari tak mampu lagi bersinar
rembulan tak mampu lagi berputar
kata2 tak mampu lagi melakar
tatkala hati tak mampu lagi menyayangi...
For you,......Ya Allah
ku rasakan perjalanan ini semakin sukar.
Aku semakin tewas..
Tapi aku hanya hamba yang hina yang tak punya hak utk menolak..
Segala yg mendatang...
Dimana harus ku cari kekuatan ku??
Biar pun segala isi dan dunia ini menjauhi aku,
Jangan KAU menjauhi diri ini...
Sukarnya untuk ku mengharap pengertian..
Namun kusedari pengertian hakiki hanya dsisimu..
Bukankah sunnatullah mnghendaki..
Aku,dia dan mereka melalui perjalanan yang sementara ini menuju negara abadi
Mengapa terlalu sukar perjalanan di sini???
Yang sementara ini??..
Mungkin kerna syurga itu terlalu mahal...
Tapi kasihanilah pada hambaMu ini,
Hamba yang tak ingin tergelincir tapi sudah pun tersungkur
Andai ini kehendakMu..
Satu pintaku izinkan hidup matiku dalam Iman dan Islam
Menerusi kejujuran qalbi..
Ketelusan lisani...
Dan keindahn pekerti..
Hanya KAU yg maha mengerti..
Menuju hari abdi tidak seindah mimpi...
Kerana maharnya tiada galang ganti...
