[文化大不同]师父Jerry 的《太委屈》-updated

我不得对“师父”行 五体投地的礼。认识师父，是在雪华青的一个部落客的讲座上。那讲座有大名鼎鼎的Jeff Ooi, 被人摆上台的老友立慷和“师父”。讲座后，两位J(Jeff & Jeremiah)大牌也和我们大伙儿一起在mamak档喝茶。聊着聊着,那就认识师父了.

那天师父问:" 你要加入我们的ISP太委屈的改犏行列吗？"。那时，我是丈八金刚，摸不着头。我笑笑地说：“唱歌是我的死穴，别玩了”。

后来，上师父的blog,我才明白什么回事。故事是说幽子开始的...但听了“师父”Jazz版的MP3,我不得不佩服师父的多才多艺和才华.

开始怀念那些在大学搞歌曲创作的朋友们-Uncle Guan, Kenny, KH, Mr Good Good等等.

对马来西亚Internet Service Provider,尤其是TM Net有所不满者.这里有两首不错的MP3让你们听听抒发不满.

[侧眼看世界]泰国第19次政变19th coup in Siam

Venue: Thailand, 2006

This is 19th coup in Thailand since World War 2. The last one was in 1992, which was 15 years ago. Since then, Thailand under the democracy government develops tremendously but unfortunately hit by "Tomyam Economic Crisis" in 1997.

The Thai PM, Mr Thaksin, a Hakka-Chinese root, who born in Chiang Mai in 1942, is the target of this coup. He become the PM since 2001 and bcome the first Thai PM who won consequence in election. However, his family business, a Telco, sold to Singapore government investment arm, Temasek in Jan 2006, faced protest in Thailand and forced to call for earlier General Election (GE) in April 2006. But the GE was declared unconstitutional in May by Constitutional Court due to boycott by the opposition party. The new election will be held in November 2006.

The coup leader, the Army Chief, General Sonthi, who is a Muslim from South Thailand and was hand picked by Mr Thaksin to solve the Thai-Muslim rebel. Gneral Sonthi again and again ruled out any coup when Thailand in political crisis and even warned off those army leaders who close to Mr Thaksin.

Who know, now the coup is lead by him, General Sonthi. I personally think this is very much due to the latest terrorist attack in Hatyai. General Sonthi said the Thai government needs to change his attitude and talk with the rebel group after the Hatyai blast. Some may say it's planned much early.

Ex-Prime Minister Chuan Leekpai told that Thaksin had forced the military to act. He said "As politicians, we do not support any kind of coup, but during the past five years, the government of Thaksin created several conditions that forced the military to stage the coup. Thaksin has caused the crisis in the country,".

No matter how, the army with a yellow ribbon on their weapon, show that they are royal to Thai King, Bumipol. I just worry the other fraction of army leaders who support Thaksin may react then it gotta be a civil war.

Hope that this only temporary and will restore the democracy in very very short time. I hope my friends (Siew Hwa, Rashid Kang , Susan & etc) who working in Bangkok are safe. God blesses you.

[侧眼看世界]厌倦

那英国保守派精英学府(Oxford University)留学归来的附马爷又在乱吠!听一些知情人士说,国阵(还是污桶)会继续玩弄"种族" 课题到下届大选为止.显!

污青副团长凯里吠完了,到他的团长希山幕丁发威,可怜我们的翁诗杰.现在到三米威鲁和家定总两位总会长去巡视,那该死的工程部官员和承包商就残了.这回两会长联手将回污桶一军.哈哈!

但这是没完没了的.我很厌倦"种族"政治.许多人问,它却还有市场吗?答案是有!大家不见二战时,纳粹主义和法西斯主义的横行吗?信仰它和追随它的知识分子大有人在.不管时代多进步,教育多普及,种族政治还是有它的市场.因为它是最容易煽动人心和扭曲人性的.

在有危机和经济不景气时,污桶用了"旧桥"-种族政治.桥是不怕旧的,只是迈向工业国的马来西亚各民族还受不受,我们就得拭目以待了.

厌倦.厌倦各种种族政治的喊话和伎俩.马来西亚,路在哪里?

[丝路在跳舞]上海与马来亚

不知道,为何许多老一辈的人都对上海有许多的憧憬.第一次接触上海的名字该是在连续剧<上海滩>吧.那也是很多年前的东西了.

接着在高中时接触到张爱玲的小说,也不如何着迷.后来看了黎明演的<半生缘>,再看张爱玲原著<十八春>,开始对上海有点小了解.

现今中国大陆的政治也有所谓的"京派"(北京)和"海派"(上海)之别.

身边许多人都去上海淘金;也有人在上海短期工作过(boo和ph).

近期,看了些清末民初的历史,看来上海在中国现代化中是个不可磨灭的城市!!!

李安大导演要拍<老易的故事>,选景选到了Ipoh和Penang.不知对我们是喜嘛?我们的政府没有马英九还是龙应台的人,注定没人珍惜我们年代不太久,但却很重要的文化遗产.

我只能感叹...

[侧眼看世界]正义感

正义感值几分钱?

它不值钱.

所以 没有人回珍惜.

人们还是比较喜欢钱多于正义.

[侧眼看世界]草莓

最近发现很多的草莓！

甲：不管我事，不要拉我下水！
乙：为什么要吵呢？我没意见，随便啦！他要不是给他咯。
丙：我认同你的看法，但我可以不要表态还是投票吗？
丁：我也是有正义感的，只是现在赚钱更重要！
...等等许多的草莓言论。

我不禁想起二战时，德国神父Martin Niemller对于自己在纳粹保证下独善其身的忏悔。

也许我不能强求他人如我一样，但至少我要对得自己的良心。万人皆醉，你独醒，是寂寞和孤僻的。

我继续独自上路。
