Well, at the aged of 53 years old of independence.... what "merdeka" really means to me....??
Hummm, before this it doesn't bring much meaning to me .... accept for the public holiday.. yeaayy...!!
But after realizing what merdeka really means....it bring a whole new meaning for me..
-----------------------------------------------------
Last month, one day before Ramadhan I was invited to media screening of The Malayan Emergency & Vat 69 : Malaysian's Very Able Troopers at Hilton KL....
It was an exciting experience...
Well, what is so exciting about it...?? movie screening jer pon...bukan nyer citer Hollywood kan.. hahahaha :P
The content shown is actually the same at History Channel...but what I want to share here is when I'm personally met the people who fought for the independence... Yes, a few of them still alive and survive. Most of them are around 80's - 90's years old.
It's like an old folks telling a story to their grandchildren.... and their story is real..!! From their own experience and what they have been through....
At that point of time...I realized this...
At their 20's - 30's : some of them might have killed and fight with the communist, saw how people suffered, saw how people get killed, went through the hardest time living in fear and poverty......
Us...? What have we done at that age of time.....? Pergi enjoy, jadi mat rempit, penagih dadah, buang anak sesuka atie, rogol orang....... Hummmmm
Their real life story is an eye opener to me....
If I were that orang2 tua kan....raser cam sgt sakit atie, sedih, kecewa lah jugak.... "Aku muda2 gie belasah komunis, nak bagi keturunan aku merdeka...korang jadi setan, lupa diri ". Kalo tau generasi muda cam nie....awal2 aku dah bagi komunis bunuh jer korang2 nie..menyusahkan mak bapak btol..." ahahhahaaaaa...
Btol tak...? How they fought for us...and how we repay their effort. Without them, we might not achieve what we have today....
So cliche - Ramai orang yang cakap merdeka ialah :
1) Kiter bebas dari penjajah - aper bendanya itu, korang tak der zaman tuh... tau tak cemaner raser kena jajah
2) Dapat hidup aman bersatu padu takder gadoh2...
For me itu sumer alasan dalam buku text okay...
After that screening, I have new meaning for merdeka. A whole new perspective.... and maybe it's not too late to realize this....
1) Fayyadh dapat membesar tanpa perlu rasa takut untuk keluar dari rumah
2) Free and easily to get food, water and electricity
3) Every night I can sleep peacefully with Fayyadh in my arms
4) There are many source and medium of education for Fayyadh
To be precise, I can live with Fayyadh without having fear to go out and enjoy our life to the fullest. That a merdeka means to me......
So happy merdeka you olsss.....!!! Hopefully this merdeka gonna give us some inspirational and motivation in our life....
