Merdeka message...but are we really...Merdeka???


Currently I have mixed feelings of joy and self-fishy about the Merdeka Day. Happy because Merdeka day falls on Sunday, which means that I’ll get a day off on Monday. Yuppie…at least I don’t have to come to work and the best of all no need to burnt my car fuel for the mileage to office.

Why I feel fishy about this year’s Merdeka day? Its just two days to come but still there’s rare sign of Jalur Gemilang been flown, hung or displayed everyway. The fireworks competition currently held in Putrajaya doesn’t seem to draw huge crowds compare to last year. Might be due to the different standard after comparing with the Beijing Olympics grand opening. Local TVs do not seem to do much promo on patriotic documentaries as compare to the campaigning period during General Election. Chong Wei’s silver and the freaky Hungry Ghost Festival might have affected the people’s focus away from Merdeka celebration.

But the biggest history was created in this Merdeka month. The victory of DSAI on Tuesday was very much speculated since earlier this month. His victory in the Permatang Pauh by-election has brought back what he lost for the past 10 years and the new sign of political reformation that the people have anticipated for so long. Many might have overjoyed and excited to the extent that we forget about our annual Merdeka Day celebration.

As for the people, this year, the Merdeka day is not about remembering the heroes of Merdeka or freedom from colonialism but to celebrate for the first time the unsung people for their victory in vanquishing the corridors of power supremacy and cronyism from a fascist regime on 308. We won the initial war from this old kaput regime!!! But the people shall continue this war with pride, justice and freedom.

As for the head of the regime Mr. Dollah, today’s budget presentation might be his last major assignment before his premature farewell. His whole ship and the crew onboard will suffer even more damage from the enraging hurricane; end up mangling on the other side of the parliament after 916.

Speaking of 916, on this day in 2008, 31st August might be our last time celebrating Merdeka day to make way for the new date on 16th September 2009.

And finally to the regime...don't BLOCK the people's freedom for not been seditious!!! We are just speculating our views here, FOOL!!!
