Bersih3, friends and cekodok pisang
Tomorrow some of my good friends will be participating in the "Anwar Ibrahim"3 rally. I am sure many others will be there. I won't be. While I strongly advocate free and fair elections, I simply do not agree with the methods and approach of "Anwar Ibrahim"3. I wish my friends well. I wish all of you who are going to march or sit-in tomorrow, all the best. I know most of you care about our country. I hope you achieve whatever you seek to achieve.
Tomorrow I am going to help out at a charity and try to raise some money for them. Many of you and my friends won't be there. But don't worry - I won't be calling you names (selfish, uncaring, etc). I understand everyone has their priorities and causes that are dear to them. Each to his own. Some of my friends will be helping out at an animal shelter tomorrow. Very noble indeed. Some will be travelling to Gua Musang to help orang aslis with their water supply. Some friends will be working and many will simply be at home, spending time with their families. Everyone has their own interests and purpose in life. I have my interests and causes that are dear to me. They have theirs. I wish everyone well in whatever they are doing tomorrow. I hope everyone achieves whatever they seek to achieve.
At times like this, when our society appears sharply divided and the chasm seemingly unbridgeable, it is important that we remember that we have many things in common. We all have a shared heritage. Whether you support "Anwar Ibrahim", Perksa or JMM or otherwise, we all love our country (well, at least all my friends do). We all want good things for our families and children. We want Malaysia and Malaysians to be respected all over the world. We all share so many virtues, cultural practices, language, stories, memories - that makes us Malaysians. We love our roti canais, nasi lemaks, satay and teh tariks. Most importantly, we all were born here and we are Malaysians.
We may have differing views from time to time on many things - that's perfectly fine. After all, as the saying goes, if two people agree on everything, one of them is redundant. It is okay to disgaree. It is okay to have completely opposing views to that of your friends even if, at times, it seems that you are the only one with those views. It is okay to quarrel. But we must alway remember that we are likely to have a thousand times more things in common than things that we differ.
Tomorrow. On the eve of day that seemingly pits Malaysians against one another, I would like to share something we all have in common. The love for cekodok pisang. Everyone loves cekodok pisang [if you don't, then you are really unpatriotic :D ]
Politicians may come and go. Elections may come and go. Rallies may come and go. Only friends, teh tarik and cekodok pisang are forever. So tomorrow if you have the time, please make some cekodok pisang at home.
Cekodok pisang. A truly Malaysian delight - regardless whether you are a BN supporter, a Pakatan supporter or you simply hate politics. Best had with teh tarik and good friends.
