Merdeka
The concept of Merdeka
as usual people will snap Malaysian flag and wish Happy Merdeka. Merdeka means independence. For centuries, Malaysia gripped by colonialism, tapped and plundered all rich materials, with citizens donated money to have Tunku and company fly to Great Britain to get be free, to stand alone. ( conceptually )
A place for all of US call home.
Fast forward to 2018, we no longer deals with communist, confronting Indonesians except the annual haze, yet we still face inner conflict consists of the same polemical, religious/liberalism issues, race, Malaysians who cant speak national language, still struggling and orang asal in Kelantan is fighting to have their land back from the capitalist greed.
So what is the hell is Merdeka in 2018?
There is more than images of Tunku shouting Merdeka? ( that is why i chose Douglas Glass's photo of Tunku smoking - which is way cooler )
Flag waving and write a caption - i love my country?
Typical cliche Indians, Chinese and Malays sharing a meal? ( hello we have more races in it )
The question is are you really Merdeka?
Merdeka from your attachments?
Merdeka from your desires?
Merdeka from everything?
Merdeka from idiots who doesn't appreciate you, judgement, comments and whatever shit?
Merdeka means you stand on your own two feet, stride and knowing you have no one except yourself. Where you dont need to anwer to anyone, kow-tow, please anybody, lower your standard and etc. What i know, i been cutting off so many people, i realized i need more peace and time to move away. No need long winding speeches and reminisces.
Alot of people misunderstood that love, forgiveness should be gentle and filled with melodrama melancholic, they are wrong.
Mercy must be sharp, accurate and hard.
