"Rukunegara or sometimes Rukun Negara is a philosophy - de facto Malaysia pledge of allegiance - introduced by the Malaysian government 1970 in reaction to a serious race riot known as the May 13 Incident which occurred in 1969. The incident proved at that time that Malaysian racial balance and stability was fragile at best. Immediately thereafter, the Malaysian government immediate sought ways to foster unity among Malaysians. One of methods used to encourage unity is the Rukun Negara. The Rukun Negara was introduced on the 13th Malaysian national day, which fell on August 31 each year."

time sekolah dulu i ada sedikit menyampah dengan hari senin. sebab pagi2 kena nyanyi Negaraku. peh tu lagu negeri selangor. peh tu lagu Malaysia jaya (ke apa ntah). peh tu lagu sekolah. peh tu rukun negara. tang rukun negaralah yg paling letih. siap kena angkat tangan ala2 karam singh walia. tapi hari ni i rasa macam ada sedikit tertampar with the 5th rukun. kisahnya begini..

seperti biasa jalan i nak gi keje jem. jem yg amat sangat this few days. i rasa due to most rakyat jelata works 5 days a week nowadays. so people either masuk awal atau balik lambat. kerana itu, jumlah kereta sudah bertambah. did the menteri2 cabinet had a thought about it before they agree on the implementation? tapi tak pela. dah terlambat. dah jadik bubur ayam mekdi dah. back to my jem story. jalan short cut bagi penjenayah jalan raya ada sedikit kesesakan. therefore, they have to opt for the main road. ada la satu, dua, tiga dan empat (baca ala2 ruffedge nyanyi ye) kereta yg masuk kategori tak pegi sekolah memandu. main potong q ikut belah kiri. ala2 ikut jalan emergency gitulah. what interest me so much was, this particular car ahead me, dia tak kasik org lain potong q dia. tapinya.. dia potong q i tak pe. and people yg nak potong q dia tadi tu adalah org2 di jalan short cut yg dia nak amik mula2 tu. paham tak? mm.. macam ni, dia nak masuk jalan short cut. tapi jalan tu jem. so dia potong q i kat main road. peh tu bertembung dengan org jalan short cut. tapi dia tak kasik org jalan short cut tu potong q dia. aa.. paham tak? tak paham jugak? mmmm... buat2 paham jelah...

so i was smiling & "eleh.. dia buat tak pe. org lain buat tak boleh.. piraaaaahhhhhh".

then i sampai kat elevated hiway punya tol. before me was a mercedez kaler ijo. this particular toll gate guy, dari jauh i dah nampak kekuyuan matanya. mungkin masih mengantuk sebab pagi2 dah kena keje. the merc driver kasik RM2.00. the charge is RM1.50. so budak kuyu ni pulangkanlah 50sen. tapi cara dia pulangkan tu, buat i rasa tertampar for the second time. dia lepaskan aja duit tu kat this merc guy. macam kita pegang duit peh tu lepaskan atas meja. aa. camtu la. to make the story interesting, duit tu jatuh. obviously that merc guy marah. and this budak kuyu? buat muka toya 3 kupang tak pandang langsung kat merc guy tu. and i dont think he said the magic word "sorry". "eh.. kurang ajarnye budak ni" kata i di dalam hati. dan terus i teringat the 5th rukun negara.

i dont know about u people. but i think things are getting worst each day. i jarang sekali dengar "terima kasih" kat cashier counter. the other day, i pegi tupperware, i terhegeh2 nak masukkan barang dalam plastik, this young lady buat derk je. eventhough i tak mengharap sangat pertolongan dia, but then cant she have the courtesy to at least say something like "boleh ke kak?". in contrast, i like the guys yg jaga parking kat opis i. memang i salute. they have the courtesy to greet, even the generousity to help u with ur things. memang boleh buat kawan. org2 macam ni dah pupus ke?

org skang dah hilang pertimbangan on kesopanan & kesusilaan ke? dah tak de rasa respect to each other? i dont feel there's need to welcome that kind of generation in Malaysia. we need pure malaysian. people with courtesy to say hi & thanks (+ other magic words). people with respects to other people.

makes me wonder, those program yg tunjuk tolong org tua lah, OKU la, budak2 la, tu sume real ke? ke lakonan semata2?

i rest my case..
