ok..
Its confirmed ! I'm goin to UM soon. Got the letter today. Registration will be on the 31st of May.haks.. I'm gonna be a student again. A new chapter in life huh.. haks.. Now.. i can register to be a :true" member of GPMS ! haks..
In the midst of all this , i managed to finish a book i bought today. I'm just a keen history buff and i could not resist to buy this book. I do recommend those who has similar interest to read through. Only for histroy keenos ah.. kalau tak minat sejarah ; then it'll be boring !!
Title : Ousted ! by Patrick Keith.
It is a well written account of events that lead to Singapore's seperation from Malaysia. I liked the way Keith describe the histroy ; seeing it in 3 different perspectives ; Tunku's , Lee Kuan Yew's and the rest of them. So many things revealed and certainly had me glued to during my locum today ! haks.. The author is currently in Australia therefore explaining his frankness on writing everything that happened then. It was interesting to learn about these facts ; how the racial rot that existed for so long. I suppose , we have not learn anything from the past , as things that happened then as it was written , is still pertinent . Suspiciousness and championing own races are still a strong de-facto in our local politics.
Our politics never really grew. It is still divided and polarised as how it was many years ago.I guess we like to keep it that way. In the midst of debates urging national unity ; it is quite a paradox with what is being practised. Lee Kuan Yew tried to champion his concept of a true Malaysia but obviously , it was his realpolitic to gain support. The way he manipulated Tunku to merge as Malaysia was just a ploy for his greed of power !! haks.. Thats politics ; only a handful are pure nationalist ; like Dato' Onn who was unfortunate not to succeed in having an "ideal" idea of governance.
