i'm awake!
somehow i got to experience the pleasures of sleep, to the point of absolutely ignoring my alarms! must be having one of those dreams where we've got alarms ringing in the dream, and in a daze we switch off the damn thing (in my case, it's the HP alarm) and go back to the dream-state we were in. syok-nye!!!
i had a shock just before noon. i was in Shah Alam, passing by the Worldwide Business Centre. There's the BN office there. and right below their lightbox, was a banner which proclaimed, 'TOWARDS ZERO OPPOSITION' or something to that effect. this was scarier than anything i ever seen, even 'The Omen.'
how that banner came about i wonder. even the PM has said in the media that the opposition is necessary. so what was it all about? i tremble at the thought. is this the hidden agenda?
this reeks of 1984, lah. simply Orwellian. haven't read that book though. in a nutshell, the banner says it all, irregardless of the media hype of national unity and all that jazz. MY QUESTION IS: how the fuck did that banner ever get conceived??? it implies eradication. zero defects. it puts our freedom of thought, expression and speech in doubt. I AM REALLY REALLY SCARED. i always doubted the intelligence of politicians but this banner and all that it stands for - IT FUCKING SCARES ME. where are we heading to? i'm pretty apolitical. but no doubt decisions made may affect us, in a personal way. zero opposition: do i go to jail for having this blog?
where is this heading to? what does it say about Malaysian unity? what does it say about Bangsa Malaysia? can we ever friggin achieve that? what new games are being played on the national front? what? what? what?
smokescreens, more smokescreens. just like the octopus that lets out its ink to fool its foe.
it's been always the same since way back then. oh-so-suspicious of each other. we might as well revert back to the kampung-new village-rubber estate way of existence. why bother interacting at all?
i remember that time in the 90s when there was some tangible unity in the air. we were like, working together and stuff. probably starts with doing business, then romance, and all that. it was a real feeling, you know. then it all came crashing down, can't really remember what happened but i smelt some conspiracy theory in the air. i like to say, the old British style of divide-and-conquer (ref: kampung/nv/estate). the Powers-That-Be have adopted that tactic well. DO REALIZE THIS. a lot of things will start making sense. like media hype vs. real-life actions. it's all around us.
