UPDATE!

Today was our second Flash Mob in SEGi University college! (For people who didn't know what Flash Mob is, flash mob is a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and pointless act for a brief time, then quickly disperse, and for our campaign, is to sing our national anthem NEGARAKU)

Randomly sang the national anthem at a campaign in Multi Purpose Hall, the crowd stopped whatever they were doing, stood still and salute as the national anthem was sang by our fellow Malaysians.

Look at the guy in green! That's the spirit!

Yeah turn off your lights on the 27th this month!

Can anyone be more patriotic than Alison?! hahahahha

Look out for updates and STOP, STAND, SALUTE as we celebrating us as ANAK MALAYSIA!

" 1Malaysia has always been around us"

2010-03-22T21:53:00.001+08:00

The phrase " 1 Malaysia" may be have just been coined and became popular only recently,but its spirit has always been around us, for a long time.
Thats what the NPC - Tan Sri SM Nasimudin 1Malaysian of the Year award recipient, cartoonist Datuk Mohd Nor Khalid- or better known as Lat- thinks of the 1Malaysia concept.
The NationalPress Club (NPC) bestowed Lat with the prestigious award for his amusing depiction of multi-racial Malaysia in his drawings- which often included characters of various Malaysian ethnicities.
Lat and his cartoons are well-loved by Malaysian from all walk of life, and it was evident during the Naza-NPC 2010 awards night when he was bombarded with photograph requests from him many fans.
The 59-year-old Perakian refused to be called as 1Malaysia icon.
" People used to ask me back then why i would draw a Punjabi man wearing a turban in my cartoons," Lat told The Malay Mail.
" But to me there's nothing strange in that.What i'm drawing is what is actually around us,in our multi-racial society. When i illustrate a crowd of people,of course there's going to be different types of Malaysian characterts in it."
" It's normal thing for me. I had many school friends who were of different races. This multi-racial spirit which now we call 1Malaysia has always been here, for years," said Lat, who started out his working career as a crime reporter with a Malay daily, Berita Harian.
" I'm just pleased and happy that my cartoons can inspire many Malaysians, which to me, is more important and meaningful."

Music reflected 1Malaysia.

2010-03-18T11:39:00.000+08:00

When i was playing music yesterday along with my friend suddenly this idea popped out from my mind. It was four of us and we all playing different instrument. It came to my attention when i see the differences of instrument that we are playing and all of the instrument sounded uniquely different with each other.Each of the instrument sounded good on their own but when we blended it in together the sound are more significance, interesting, and better. To me it shows that differences make we stronger. Differences backed up each other flaws and differences is beautiful. AND that is how 1Malaysia should be. The differences between us shouldn't be the gap for us, it should be the strength for us to be better as 1Malaysia. So, get yourself into the patriotism spirit and STOP,STAND,SALUTE for our beloved country.
Adios Amigos.

Interesting Facts about Malaysia ( Gua Nasib Bagus )

2010-03-18T01:08:00.000+08:00

The Gua Nasib Bagus also known as the Good Luck Cave located at the island of Borneo, Sarawak is the world’s largest chamber which can easily accommodate a Boeing 747-200.

This cave contains the world’s biggest natural underground chamber. The Gua Nasib Bagus (Sarawak Chamber) is more than 600 metre long and 100 metre high. A caver needs an hour to explore it as the exact size of the chamber is not easy to find out. It is not easy taking a photograph in the chamber as the headlamps are not able to light more than a per mile of the big hall.

Sarawak Chamber is only one room of this huge cavern. The whole passage has enormous size, as do many caves at this park. Despite its size, it is not really difficult to visit this cave but most of the time the passage of the cave is filled with water. It is required that visitors should be able to swim and wear appropriately.

2010-03-16T19:53:00.000+08:00

So... The day of our campaign event is coming near and some of us are starting to feel the heat.
Things are falling into place while some of us are running around like a bunch of headless chickens. If you have ever worked in group for a big assignment you should understand that it ain't easy, especially if you are working with friends.
We have a confirmed venue now! Which is great. We're gonna have at e@curve aka Cineleisure.
Another thing is that we have performers!!! So you won't just get to see us but also some actual celebrities! =)

One more thing, we have a YouTube account now!
The attached is a video of one of our first flash mob's. We did it in our college cafe and it actually went better than we expected. A few random people actually stood up even though they didn't know what the heck was going on. It was fun!

Spread the video around! Share it on Facebook. There will be more to come before the BIG one on the event day.

Cheers!

Language for all Malaysians

2010-03-11T03:46:00.000+08:00

CHONG: Sometimes I wonder whether the language we use is Bahasa Melayu or Bahasa Malaysia. Or is it the case of "what’s in a name"? After all they mean the same language. Can we use the name interchangeably, my friends?
Azman: What is bothering you Chong? Of course they are the same.
Chong: Confusing lah! On Friday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak when speaking at a function billed as the International Bahasa Melayu Public Speaking Competition said that the government is gearing up to promote Bahasa Melayu as a cultural and civilization element to the world.
Azman: What’s so confusing? Bahasa Melayu or Malay refers to the language or the lingua franca of the Malay world, which is much of Southeast Asia.
Mohan: So the PM was referring to the language and culture of the Malay world. But shouldn’t Indonesia be promoting it. After all isn’t it the biggest component of the Malay world?
Azman: Well, you got me there.
Chong: Anyway the New Straits Times report on Saturday referred to the language as Bahasa Melayu. It’s correct I suppose. In the Malay Mail it was Bahasa Malaysia. In the English version of the Bernama report it is Bahasa Malaysia but in the Bahasa Malaysia version it is Bahasa Melayu.
Azman: Is that so?
Sulok: Yes, I read all the reports and it is as Chong said. All the Malay papers said Bahasa Melayu. I didn’t see The Star on Saturday. Wonder whether it used Bahasa Malaysia or Bahasa Melayu.
Mohan: Anyway if you guys are diverting to discussing our national language, Article 152 of our Constitution says "The national language shall be the Malay language …" And then in 1963 the National Language Act was passed which states among other things that it is the language for all official communication. The Act has been amended many times but basically it is still the same. Since the passing of the Act we called our national language Bahasa Kebangsaan.
Sulok: Ya, that’s right. I remember we used to have Bahasa Kebangsaan week and Bahasa Kebangsaan month. We had all kinds of competition to promote the use of Bahasa Kebangsaan, essay writing, speech making and so on. And there is even a song. All for the purpose to make the language acceptable as a national language to the people of Sabah and Sarawak as well.
Chong: And then it became Bahasa Malaysia. Somebody told me why it was appropriate for the language to be called Bahasa Malaysia. Cikgu?
Zain: Indeed it was appropriate. No one objected. It was a language to unite all the people of Malaysia. After all it was already the lingua franca of the people in the country even before Merdeka or Malaysia Day. So to call it Bahasa Malaysia was most appropriate.
Chong: Malay was also the language or lingua franca of the region even before the coming of the Portuguese, the Dutch and the British.
Zain: Yes. And in its various forms, Malay was the lingua franca of the Indonesian archipelago. Such that when that country became independent it adopted it as its national language but called it Bahasa Indonesia. It could have made the language of the most dominant and numerous people, the Javanese, the national language but it didn’t as it was not the lingua franca throughout the archipelago.
Chong: That’s it, that’s it. I remember now. Malay is the language of the Malay archipelago which includes Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei and even the Philippines. Indonesia adopted it as its national language and called it Bahasa Indonesia. So when Malaysia adopted it as its national language it was appropriate to call it Bahasa Malaysia. Am I doing OK, Cikgu?
Zain: You’re doing fine.
Sulok: I think things changed when Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim became education minister in 1986. Right, Cikgu?
Zain: Right. Bahasa Melayu came back into use. First, the language subjects were renamed Bahasa Melayu and subsequently wider usage of the name in other areas outside schools. Of course those used to the term Bahasa Malaysia continued to do so. Others were a little confused like Chong is confused now.
Mohan: But I thought it was changed back to Bahasa Malaysia sometime ago.
Zain: In April 2007, the cabinet unanimously endorsed changing the name back to Bahasa Malaysia. Then Information Minister Datuk Seri Zainuddin Maidin announced it on June 3, 2007 saying that it was appropriate as the language belonged to all Malaysians.
Mohan: Yes, I remember. I also remember many Malaysians cheered him for that statement.
Chong: OK, that’s settled then. To me that’s more important than promoting wider use of Bahasa Melayu in the world.

The Night Market..

2010-03-06T12:42:00.002+08:00

The Night market or so called “PASAR MALAM” is a nice place that Malaysians hangs out in. It is another place to “shop” other than shopping mall. It is an open concept stalls. PASAR MALAM sells cheap and useful stuff. There are food, accessories, cloths, dishes, and etc.

PASAR MALAM is the best way to experiences local culture- Malaysia culture!

Here are my favorites PASAR MALAM:

• Petaling street or formally known as China Town Kuala Lumpur. Some of the stalls was establishes many years ago. Food stalls that sell Hokkien mee, beef noodle, Asam laksa, wantee mee are the famous stalls in PetalingStreet.

Business hours: 4.30pm to late night (everyday)

• Connought Pasar Malam – it is the longest pasar malam in Kuala Lumpur. Business hours: 5pm to 1am (every Wednesday)

Traditional Games in Malaysia

2010-03-05T18:10:00.002+08:00

Kite
Have you play a kite before? It’s an interesting traditional game in OUR country. Over the years, kite festivals have encouraged creativity in kite-making. The designed it in different shape and cartoon character, different size and material which full with creativity. I learned to play a kite from my neighbor, who is a cute little Malay girl, isn’t this traditional game can bring us to “One Malaysia”?

Congkak
It’s a womenfolk’s game in ancient times. Usually, they sit on the floor face to face and the Congkak set is between two of the players. Player will take all the seeds (small marbles, rubber seeds or saga) which represent the points to the players, from one pit, and place one at a time into another pit. If the last seeds in a play is placed in the player’s home (the left most), she will be granted another turn on the other hand. If the last seed is placed in an empty pit on her side of board, she will capture the seeds in the opposite pit and place in her own home. The game end when all the pits on one side are empty. After that, they will count the seeds and who get the most seeds will be the winner. Well, I learned this when I was in primary school, although I can’t really remember all the game rules, but its fun!

Giant Top Spining ( Gasing)
Does u know that a “Gasing” can spin for two hours long? It’s not a game for children because the “Gasing” weights approximately 5kg and the wooden tops are just big! It’s all about strength, skill and coordination. There are some Top Spinning competitions Malaysia especially Kelantan and Terengganu. I would say it is fun to see some other people playing this! Haha……

What Say You(th)? : Malaysians Abroad

2010-03-04T14:41:00.001+08:00

Being a Malaysian in a foreign land sure feels different. From the culture, to environment, to the people. Aeti Amira asks Malaysian youth abroad how they feel being far away from home, what do they miss, what they like being abroad and everything in between;

I do miss Malaysia. A lot. Things are very different here. The best thing about being abroad is you got branded things cheaper instead of you are able to have designer handbags without having to fast for months. That's the only reason which make me feel like wanting to be here forever. But things are very different here. in Malaysia, you can hang out until dawn. Laughing at mamak or gossiping while eating char kuew tiew or maybe nasi lemak. Oh how tempting! But here, the only choice you have is going to club. Seeing drunken people get crazy then sleeping on the road. Afraid of these drunken people you will end up in your own kitchen cooking the same dishes you have to digest everyday. Kitchen? the interesting fact about sharing kitchen with these mat saleh (which one may find interesting) is at one point, you will never dare to step in the kitchen. It's worst then terrible. Dishes are never washed, beer are spilled all over the table and carpet. God how I wish I have mom here giving 'ceramah kebersihan' to these people.

It's good to have fish and chips and spaghetti for lunch but to have it everyday, I prefer having cheap and tasteless 'warung' dishes!

Wan Aleesa Hanes, 21, student,

Being Malaysian is coming from Malaysia with our world of lah's, wei's and whatnots! However, its not hard to stay Malaysian abroad because every country will have their Malaysian society. So if you miss Malaysia or if you want to stay Malaysian, just go to the MSoc (Malaysian Society) and you'll feel right at home. Of course I miss Malaysia! I miss the non-sub zero temperature, the scorching hot sun, the inexpensive cost of living, the cars or rather my car, the ability to be drive around, the inexpensive taxis and the food (especially the food). Oh! Not to mention mamak especially mamak! I miss the malls where it does no close at 8 every weekday and 6 on Sundays. I miss the sun. I've mentioned sun already, haven't I? Well, sunshine. I miss the non gloomy days, the periodically heavy rain but not the humidity. I miss 7 eleven or anything that's 24 hours basically. Basically, Malaysia is still home so yes, I miss it loads cause that's where my friends and family are.

Sarah NCY, 21, student
London School of Economics

For me, being a Malaysian is to never forget where you come from, to stay grounded at all times. Malaysia is a country filled with tradition and culture. As long as you don't forget your tradition and culture although you're abroad, or in a Western country, I don't think we can never be far away from being a Malaysian. I sure am missing Malaysia a lot as soon as i arrive in Melbourne, every time. I miss the weather, my family, and FOOD of course! nothing beats Malaysian food i must say :)

Farah Shazliyana, 20, student
University of Melbourne

Four weeks(here) down and another 40 to go. It certainly feels so long especially when you are living far away from your country. Of course, California is a nice place to be. Everyone dreams of being here! But, the ugly truth is, you don't travel and see new places everyday. That's when you are stuck in your house wasting hours on Facebook and thinking what's for dinner? Sometimes, you feel lonely knowing there is so much you can do if you were in Malaysia. Friends, family, food, weather (well, i lied because California is better), I miss em all. Well, beneath those boredom, it feels good to be here and away from hot hot hot Malaysia. So many places to visit, cant wait!

" With new media comes new responsibility"

- Irwan Abdul Rahman

There is no way for me to express this formally and i don't want to. So here goes.

Today our Media Relations class went on a little field trip. Miss Eena, our lecturer, hooked us up so we could go to The Malay Mail and meet with one of their editors - Irwan.

I have to say, he's really cool. Despite the fact that he's older than the target audience of this campaign, he has a very similar mind set. He really "gets" us. At first he talked about the basics of the newspaper and after our campaign was introduced to him, the conversations spread to other topics. One of many things that caught my attention was this : In his opinion, we shouldn't be just tolerating our differences. Instead, we should be CELEBRATING our differences. Strength in diversity.

In MY opinion, he was able to summarize what our campaign is about so simply, without even knowing it. I agree that we don't need to be told to live in unity because we already do.

THAT is what our campaign is about. It's not in support of 1Malaysia but it's not against it either. Instead of trying to promote and encourage unity we should be celebrating it instead. This is because most of us who have grown up in public, multi-racial schools have basically learnt the whole "unity" thing without being told. There may have been racial gangs runnning around school beating each other up but that was more of a "people" problem not a racist problem.

When we were younger, it hardly crossed our mind that people were different because of their race. For us we were all just people. It's only as we got older that we realised that there were situations like "You may or may not get a job because of your race" or "You may get into different colleges easier because of your race".

So in a whole, what is Malaysia-LAH again?

It's about the youth's voice! And what the youths are saying is that we ARE living in unity! We ARE united! ~~We are all assholes!~~ We are fully aware of our differences and we respect each other!

FYI, the honourable Mr. Irwan Rahman may be one of the speakers of our forum. Along with a Mr. Andrew Netto. And believe me you want to hear what they have to say.

Peace out!

CURRENTLY

there are 1,152 people(as for 11th Feb) proudly standing with us as Anak Malaysia ! How cool is that!

In only a week's time, more than 1000 people supported our cause in defining the true essence of a Malaysian. This shows there are still a sense of concernment and patriotism in young Malaysians; to be honest I shed a few tears when I realized this. Before this, to me, the future of this country would be gloomy as a result of dogmatic rule from orthodox minds of current politicians (to mind you all, not all politicians, SOME but the major ones). Apart from that, Malaysia is THE place to live in. COME ON, free from natural disaster, no war, wonderful diversity of culture and ethnicity, and of course the FOOD! What else can you ask for!

At the end of the day, it is our responsibility to reignite patriotism in the hearts of Malaysian youths; it starts with us, youths! With the correct mindset of young Malaysian, we can combat corruption, building a fairer economic system, and most importantly, practicing principles of democracy which we should have 52 years ago!

Let us inveterate 1Malaysia programme to be practical, be planted in every Malaysian, and even to our future generation!

STOP STAND SALUTE Malaysia!

FREE! Visit Batu Caves at Gombak District, located on the outskirts of K.L
The Batucaves are an important site for Hindu Devotees and popular Ethnicity attraction.
Over a hundred year old , devotees will have to climb over 272 steps to get to the Large Temple in the cave.

Wow! 272 step is one good form of exercise for keeping your Body in shape !
This is recommended to anyone who prefer something with a lot pounding.

Besides, devotees believe climbing on the steps before reaching the Temple inside the cave is a way to redeem their Karma.

I bet you would have cleared all your KarMa in
544(up & down) +544 = 1088 step even before reaching the temple inside! CoOL!
(If its for health purpose use spots shoe for stability on steps but not into the temple, for its not a sign of respect to the God of the Hindu devotees)

There are also huge gold-plated statues of Hindu Gods and hundreds of monkeys, which have a peculiar fascination with all of us and our cameras!

Bringing banana's to divert the monkeys attention from snatching your cameras,
is a very good idea! (If you chase them away they'll chase you all around till they find no sign of you)

ENJOY your trip to BATU CAVES and make sure you bring some one along with you to avoid disturbance from monkeys!

Did you know??

2010-02-07T00:01:00.000+08:00

Hey peeps!!!

Did you know that most Malaysians main meal is rice. In the mornings, they used to have "Nasi Lemak' for their breakfast then for lunch is rice again with various dishes such as vegetables, meat, chicken, fish, egg and etc...and finally ends with dinner which is also rice with some simple dishes. Sometimes it continues untill supper where they would eat meals such as fried rice. Rice is a very common menu that is available here in Malaysia especially for weddings, engangements or any social events.

Roti canai satu!! Teh Tarik satu!!!

2010-02-06T22:33:00.000+08:00

The first thing we think about roti canai and teh tarik- we sure think on Mamak!
Topic 1- Mamak
I'm sure evryone "lepak" at mamak before... Mamak became a place where the youngster hang out. It is a best gossip site in Malaysia. People from all races love to hang out at mamak because the food is cheap and it is open 24hours and 365 days!

The football lover would like to catch a late night football game with the gang at mamak..Some supper hunger would like to have their cheap supper at there..The girls would like to talk secret or gossiping someone at there..

Mamak become a culture in Malaysia. The culture of a Malaysian!

There's a post!

I couldn't bear to have the blog empty any longer so i have decided to do a bit of ranting... muahahahaha!

Ok, so what is this? and what's going on? I'm sure that is what most people might be wondering once they visit this page. Don't worry, we've just set a list of topics so soon this page will be streaming with updates, stories, Did-you-know's, Malaysian slangs and a whole bunch of other stuff.

So just to give you a head's up on what we're all about......

It started as a PR class assignment and now it's become a full blown mission. We have spent the last 3 weeks or so planning, delegating, and imagining for our campaign because we don't want it to be just another assignment, we want to achieve something. So we are working our butts off trying to plan and organise a huge campaign called Malaysian-lah!

So what is Malaysian-lah? It's like 1Malaysia but it's from a youth's point of view. We're making a statement that says we CAN live in peace and unity and that we DO.We go to school with people from many different races and it hasn't been a problem so why can't everyone else get along too?

-why are we doing Malaysian-lah?
because we - the youth of Malaysia - want a voice of our own.
We want to be able to make our own statements about Malaysia and prove that we do care about what goes on in our country.

So how can you help? By supporting us.
