Selling The Maruah



That was the text of the message that accompanied this picture that came to me via email. 

Kenapa lah orang kita ini suka sangat jadi 'boy' kepada Mat Salleh? Kita baru sambut 55 tahun Merdeka but it looks like the Merdeka is in name only. The Mat Sallehs still control our minds. We still want to please the Mat Sallehs. 

Why allow a road to be named after TESCO of all things? If we want to name our roads after supermarkets why not name them after Malaysian stores like Parksons, Mydin, 99 Superstore and etc? 

This road sign is not right at all. It is free and unfair advertisement for TESCO. Free because they dont have to pay for this  (they had better not). Unfair because other businesses do not have the same privilege.  So why give TESCO this advantage? TESCO kan kepunyaan Yahudi, kafir, Barat, Zionis, penjajah and dont know what else.

Here is another sample. Folks have you seen this logo before ? This is the London Underground logo.



The next one here is the Putra LRT Logo. Deja Vue. Tak habis-habis nak ikut bontot Mat Salleh juga.

Yes. I agree that we tend copycat many British and American names symbols.

For example, there is an incubation centre in Universiti Putra Malaysia called Lembah Silikon (Silicon Valley).

Also, the current design of our national flag looks too much like the U.S. Flag.

So what more can you expect.

"Tak habis habis nak ikut bontot mat salleh".

Mungkin diakhir hari bontot mat salleh juga yang paling sedap.

Jalur Gemilang pun ikut "Stars and Stripes" the American flag.

And we called the Malaysian flag "Broad Stripes"

So how?

Bro Syed,

The 2nd logo of the company previously named PUTRA LRT had cease to exist anymore since it has been taken over by our 'smart, genius and we owe them a living' Khazanah from Renong.

Since then these khazanah clevers had changed its name to RAPID KELANA JAYA LINE.

It Really depicts the eslavement of minds of khazanah people by the mat salehs and their consultants that they really look up to as their intellectual masters. What they failed to realized was that the name PUTRA was coined to commemorate our father of independence Tunku Abdul Rahman for his great contributions to Malaysia independence.

Translate English to Malay
Biology - Biologi (what happened to Kaji Hayat?)
Geography - Geografi (Ilmu Alam?)
Innovation - innovasi (pembaharuan?)
tragedy - tragedi (bencana?)
this is just a few, the list is endless.
Why do we do this?

salamm to you SAA,

it is either melayu mudah lupa or they like to think less.

nampaknya persiaran tesco sounds a bit better than persiaran BU3/4 sec 6 or jalan mawar?

puncanya dengan menamakan jalan dengan nombor - adakah ini satu2nya jalan mudah untuk mencari alamat? now with gps and smart phones?

dalam keghairahan menamakan jalan2 dengan nombor atau berbagai jenis bunga, kayukayan dan lain2 yang 'malaysia' agaknya - kita sudah menurunkan tahap perbendaharaan kata bahasa itu sendiri.

melayu baru kita tidak se-nusantara lagi dengan nama2 seperti - kediri manong siong naka batang sidam gandah kikir kubu dll.....

melayu baru suka exotik seperti tiga suku klang valley adalah damansara - damansara indah, jaya, enclaf, dlll....

adalah lebih baik bagi membangunkan kata-nama bahasa, supaya kita namakan jalan dan tempat dengan yang 'melayu' yang ada 'sejarah setempat' yang unik bagi daerah berkenaan.

kenapa mesti batang berjuntai jadi bestari jaya ? ?

kebolehan otak kita adalah mengingati nama (pada seetengah usia agak payah) - belajar kita melalui memahami nama.

secara lazimnya kita mudah menggunakan akal untuk membuat kesimpulan cerita atau idea hanya dari beberapa nama.

nama = fikir = tanggapan = budaya = faham = idea

Syed, why do you knock the mat sallehs ? They provide refuge for so many BN people through their banks, their mansions and their quality of life. You know how many of BN people have mansions in London, Singapore or Perth ? You know how many of these rich people have wine and cheese ?

Ask the BN leadership - how many of their children have studied, or are studying, overseas. They are much more familiar with TESCO or Waitrose than Mydin or Speedmart 99. Ask how many of them use Malaysian made cars.

In short, don't knock the mat sallehs. They give our leadership the means to have a different life than the rest of us.

These people will say to you that they are of the bright ones. But deep inside themselves they really believe that they are not bright enough.

Kepada 11.26 am, puncanya kerana DBP dan kumpulan syok sendiri gapena terlalu pemalas ttp dalam masa yg sama nak mengaut semua kontrak2 penulisan buku dan penterjemahan ke dalam bahasa melayu.

Kumpulan ini jugalah yg turut terlibat menggagalkan PPSMI, mereka mempengaruhi ibubapa melayu kpg dengan mengatakan budak2 tercicir teruk dgn dasar tersebut.

Akhirnya inilah hasil terjemahan bangang puak2 ni memperkayakan bahasa melayu
