Forced patriotism doesn't work one

The Merdeka Day celebrations are less than two weeks away yet I don't see much signs of it anywhere.

I think I can see more Pas flags hoisted up by private individuals than the Jalur Gemilang at their homes these days.

A neighbor of mine had a huge Pas flag set-up on top of a tree behind his house. He must have hired someone to put it there.

I also don't see people putting that small Malaysian flag on their car anymore. I remember that it was a popular practice several years ago.

Well, I'm not the extremely patriotic type either, but somehow this year, I sense that the "feels" of the Merdeka spirit was simply not there.

Maybe it's just me, but that's how I see it.

Or is it because I'm older now, that I find it harder to feel the celebratory mood? Something like not feeling overly joyous during Hari Raya as compared to when I was a kid.

The smart ministers also do not seem to have much idea of what to do to encourage a more patriotic mood...I think.

Here is a suggestion to enhance our patriotic spirit by our Communication and Multimedia Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek,

Cinemas To Play National Anthem Before Showtime



Sorry to say la Mr Smart Minister, I think the idea is so 1950s.

Just imagine playing the national anthem at a cinema before a kung fu movie about to be played. How many in the audience do you think will bother to stand up?

I think even those who want to stand up will be embarrassed to do so.

It's just so not cool.

Imagine if there are only two or three couples in the cinema, who are more interested to snuggle with each other rather than even watching the movie. Do you think they will be bothered to stand up?

Some may not even want to go watch movie in the cinemas just because of this. Better to just buy pirated DVD and watch at home leh.



It is just not going to work la Mr Minister. In fact I think it will become just another joke or even an issue later on - patriotic people versus unpatriotic people. 

Then it will become another stupid argument complete with racial undertones which will further divide us.

Example:
"Apa pasal itu Cina tak mau berdiri masa main lagu Negaraku?," said a Malay busybody about a Chinese couple who are too busy with their own personal stuff at one corner of the cinema and couldn't care less what song was being played at the moment.

Whatever it is, I just don't think we should force people to be patriotic. 

Patriotism is this love for our country that we feel inside our heart. It needs to be inculcated, not forced.

  1. Annie, I think it is a good idea to play the national anthem, not just in cinema but anywhere where there is a function and fixed agenda, be it in cinema, football match or motor race.

    Of course some will not bother while immersed in their own little chore but if applied consistently, it will be part of the ritual.

    Please give the minister a chance.

    What is more damaging if that our leaders don't walk the talk. They ask us to be patriotic but the send their kids to study abroad (on here in international schools), their drive foreign cars, they holiday overseas, some have foreign wife (and gfs too), etc..

    1. Negara Ku. My Country.

      Then was a time, only some 2 decades ago, when oversea, I found that Malays, Chinese, Indians, Ibans, Dayak - Malaysians all - would sing our anthem with patriotism.

      Now, so many seem to feel that they have lost ownership of the idea of Malaysia.

      Maybe, as brought up by Anon 06.45, the minister should be given a chance...PROVIDED they'll (1) send their kids to local schools only, drive Proton only, holiday locally only, and have one wife only (no gfs), and live in a typical ordinary citizen house ...

      Perhaps when they live the ordinary rakyat's life, and the ordinary rakyat see them do, and they do what Negara truly needs ... then the feeling of patriotism as mentioned by Anon 09.11 will be uncaged...

      Kemerdekaan kali ini lebih bermakna kepada orang Melayu kerana kesedaran yang tinggi kepada masalah dan hala tuju orang Melayu.
      1. negara ini adalah Persekutuan Tanah Melayu. Perisytiharan kemerdekaan pada 31 Ogos 1957 adalah perisytiharan kemerdekaan Persekutuan Tanah Melayu.

      Ini penting kerana ada pihak yang menggunakan Malaysia untuk cuba mencuri hak dan khazanah Melayu selama ini terutama Presiden-Presiden UMNO yang dibeli oleh bangsa lain.

      2. Dengan kesedaran kaum Cina bercita-cita memerintah Tanah Melayu maka orang melayu semakin bersatu terbukti dalam pru13.

      3. Pendedahan maklumat seperti kekayaan yang dirampas oleh tokey cina dan india dalam senarai FORBES membuktikan kekayaan Tanah Melayu dan kecuaian Presiden UMNO dan complicity mereka dalam membenarkan mereka mencuri lesen dan konsensi.

      4. Pada tarikh keramat ini, tepat lah waktunya untuk orang Melayu bangun menyambut cabaran, membersihkan UMNO dari petualang India dan Cina yang membelakangkan Majlis Tertinggi UMNO yang mencapai kemerdekaan tetapi sebaliknya melantik orang Kristian seperti Tony dan Idris jala atau nor yakob untuk menjual aset kerajaan Melayu.

      5. Bahawa kemerdekaan yang di capai oleh Tunku dan UMNO tidak boleh dibiarkan mati ditangan anak pendatang india dan UMNO sendiri tidak sedar pencurian dan rompakan yang di buat atas nama meritocracy, free market, globalisasi.

      6. Kita boleh make a difference. Kita boleh hancurkan kumpulan gangster ekonomi yang meracuni kerajaan Melayu UMNO di bawah Najib dan presiden-presiden yang lain.

      Kalau kita bangun, kita bukan bangun untuk negaraku saja. Kita bangun untuk merampas Tanah Melayu semula!!

      Yeah..yeah yeah...!

      Jac sang the national anthem too high that the specators cannot sing a long.
      FAM is really stupid. They should have tried singing with JAC.
      If you have seen other matches before the crowd really loves singing the national anthem at a lower pitch. normal pitch.

      And it provide a fitting rousing start to the game.

      Stupid FAM, stupid FAM, stupid cannot even get the national anthem right. Spoiling the atmosphere with Jac high pitch voice..damn jac..

  4. Malaysians felt so patriotic some 2 decades ago despite recession and other problems but the Ministers were able to fire up our hearts.

    Nowadays leadership is almost ZERO and whatevel is left in our hearts for our country, we keep it for ourselves, crying silenlty over the brutal rape and murder the Malaysia is going thru.

    What we have as so called "leaders" are nothing but a bunch of creepy crawlies siphoning off the support and especially the wealth of the nation.

    Many have forgotten their roots and background and are so ashamed to be born as Malays and Muslims...and many more are so eaten up with building riches that they forgot that when they go 6 feet underground, it is not the expensive designer clothes that shroud them but the plain white cloth.

    It is still there Annie, but caged within our hearts....

  5. How right you are sister? Instead, the minister might do way more good by helping to stem the Malaysian movie industry churning out half-past six "cerita hantu lawak dan pontianak sondol" dan "kisah teladan samseng melayu" If we are going to stir the heart and stimulate the mind then Malaysia better seriously start producing quality movies about their own socio-historical landmarks and personages and their mythic epics. For instance, we could stop complaining about others for a moment to reflect on ourselves ..... how does Iran which faces a constant barrage of embargoes still manage to make some of the finest movies in the world!

  6. well, if you look into History of the Chinese...
    most of the chinese in Malaysia are the descendants of people who ran away or refused to return to China when their country was at war with each other.(Kuomintang vs Communist)or with Japanese.

    1. Thanks for your kind advice, but I feel that it is better to be opened about these things here rather than keeping it pent up inside us until it blows up. At least with all the cards laid on the table, we could see ourselves as what we really are and do something to correct whatever wrong with it. I know, it's not nice to realize the ugly racism inside ourselves, but maybe knowing it means we can do something to remedy it.

      To all the Chinese out there please be reminded to "mind your language" as today many of the other races are fluent in whatever dialects you speak. Even 7 from my family were from SJKC. (2 generations)

      Those not for SJKC, we learn Mandarin in Maktab (chosen foreign language) and UiTM. Jaga mulut bila jangan terlalu biadap dihadapan Melayu, Bumiputra, India dan bangsa2 lain diMalaysia.

      Malays are very tolerant lots, kita dicaci berdepan2, we smile back and just leave your shops. Ada India sampai sepak muka Ahso (berdarah pipi) when she shouted loudly to her counter girls in Cantonese "Keluarga Hantu sudah masuk, kasi ikut belakang ini pencuri semua" not knowing that this Indian man speaks fluent Cantonese.

      Few days later 3 kapak weilding Indians robbed her shop in bright daylight. (Neighbours including me all shocked) however I think they knew the intruders as they did not make any police reports.

  13. Assalamualaikum dan Salam Sejahtera kpd semua:

    Dah lebih 50 tahun negara tercinta ini bebas drpd cengkaman kuasa asing namun masih terdapat segelintir warga Malaysia yg memiliki sifat perkauman yang realistik. Sedihnya, kebanyakan drpd segelintir warga ini adalah mereka yg lahir selepas 31hb ogos 1957. Bila saya kata segelintir warga ini adalah secara umum tidak kira pendirian politik dan bangsa masing-masing.
    Wahai warga malaysia yang dikasihi, marilah kita berganding bahu memajukan negara kita yang dikasihi. Lupakanlah sengketa warna kulit kerana adalah tanggung jawab kita utk memastikan malaysia terus maju. Jika tidak, negara kita akan dimajukan oleh warga asing yg semakin bertambah. Saya bukan bersifat perkauman apabila berkata demikian kerana malaysia adalah negara kita dan tunggak negara kita adalah kita.
    Pribumi, melayu, cina, india, singh, iban, melanau, bidayuh, kadazan, dusun dll..sama-sama kita jadikan mayslia sebuah negara aman.
    Kpd kerajaan yang sedia ada, kami warga malysia amat berharap agar kamu mengambil inisiatif konsisiten utk menjadi sebuah kerajaan yg telus, bertanggung jawab dan komited.
    Hapuskan rasuah, jenayah dan mudahkan warga malaydia meningkatkan taraf hidup. Gunakanlah amanah yg diberi oleh warga malaysia pd pru 13 yg lepas dgn sifat amanah dan jujur.
    Kpd pengkomen yg saling menabur benci sesama bangsa lain di sini, ingatlah bahawa setiap perkataan yg anda taip akan menjadi tanggung jawab anda...what you give, you'll get back.
    Kita memerlukan sebuah negara yg aman, saling hormat menghormati dan sebuah kerajaan yg amanah. Kita tidak perlukan sifat negatif kerana ia hanya akan merugikan kita semua tidak kira apa jua warna kulit anda. Ingat, kita semua akan hidup, kahwin, memiliki anak, tua dan mati..itu sahaja perjalanan hidup manusia di bumi yg sementara ini.

Lebih trajis apabila pemimpin melayu dan ketua-ketua agama kebingungan dalam menangani serangan serta takut mengambil tindakan yan g berkesan kerana khuatir kehilangan sokongan bangsa lain serta tidak mahu menyinggung perasaan pengganut agama lain.

      Pemimpin-pemimpin yang diberi kepercayaan terlalu sibuk mengejar habuan dunia sehingga lupa akan tanggungjawab mereka kepada yang dipimpin serta lupa bahawa kekayaan yang dikejar didunia ini tidak akan memberi apa-apa pertolongan di dalam kubur nanti.

      Tidak lah pelik ramai orang-orang melayu beragama Islam melepaskan geram mereka dengan meluahkan kata-kata sindiran, cacian dan kesat di saluran yang terbuka kepada mereka seperti di internet ini. Tamgbahan pula orang kafir tanpa segan silu memulakan cacian.

      Bagi tali barut pemimpin yang memamtau blog-blog, sampaikan mesej ini kepada ketua-ketua kamu, terutama sekali yang sering berkata "rakyat di dahulukan" kerana beliaulah yang sepatutntya pertama sekali sensitif kepada keadaan banga melayu dan agama islam di tanah air kita hari ini.

  15. here' s a thought. there is really nothing of festivity sort to celebrate the Merdeka. The Independence of Malaysia surely didnt come from any shelf of the Giant supermarket with a price tag of Massimo bread.

    protecting the independence of to now have cost lives of the Malaysian irregardless of races. it would be a good thing to observe a more sober Merdeka Day this year. have anyone forgotten the recent incursion of Sulu pirates. Both police and army of ours stood their ground and they pay for their lives. sad that we have self centred politician as well as people on the street saying Merdeka is for Melayus.

    Of recent both the army and especially the police have been under heavy attack from both political parties as well as the general urban public. We should be highlighting their plights as the protector and the fisrt line of defense of Merdeka. When push Comes to shoves, they will do their duty which could even be with their lives. This is a time to remember the dead, since most are to caugth with the political whimps.

    Should be good if the security forces be given the due respect maybe flowers in the street for the policemen and stories of patriotism by them on the tele amd media? That would beat the national anthem ideas for the cinema goers.

    By the way, today's news a policeman was rammed to death somewhere in Selangor. He was on a motorbike. Not those big bike kinds.. Perhaps some politician and their machai could just reduce their 'hantaming the police and security forces' as corrupt and selfish for the remembrance of the courageous and dead to motivate and honour the courageous and still living among us serve and protect our Merdeka especially in Merdeka month

  19. CINA IS THE MOST PATRIOTokong

    1)Cina moves to Singapore and then get citizenship
    Even Lee Kuan Yew acknowledge it!

    2)Cina when given the opportunity to seize power, they will
    try to grab it without any remorse even to a point when
    they tried to kill their own kind who stand in their way.
    example: Chin Peng's Communist Army

    3)Cina had done time and time again to doublecross the Malays (but failed)when given the opportunity to takeover Malaysia
    Yet the Malays mudah lupa....
    example:
    1)Malayan Union (to eliminate the power of the Sultan)
    2)MCP-Malayan Communist Army (to seize power thru violence)
    3)As long as Singapore exist, it showcase a lesson on how
    the trust given by Tunku Abdul Rahman was betrayed.
    (today, only Johor remembers, maybe because the state is near
    to it)

    4)Cina claimed that they are Malaysian but they don't speak
    the National Language. They speak the language that most
    Majority Malaysian don't speak... Cantonese, Mandarin,
    Hokkein, Ching Chong, etc

    Maybe, they have their own set of rules and regulation and goals for the motherland, China...
    To make all of the countries except China to become
    politically unstable thru "freedom of speech", "equality",
    "human rights",etc
    except the funny thing, there isn't any of these so called
    "humanity acts" in the motherland itself!

    “The target to increase the num­ber of Chinese tourists in the state this year is very much on track, as tou­rists are still thronging destina­­- tions around the state,” said Johor Domestic Trade, Tourism and Con­sumer Affairs Committee chairman Datuk Tee Siew Kiong.

    He said the state government had been focusing to tap China’s gro­wing tourist market as Johor received about 1.1 million Chinese tourists last year.
