Making fun with our anthem, sing it in rap edition and use it to sing out dissatisfaction on this country. <br /><br />In formal function, whenever Negaraku is played, we can still see those who do not stand at attention properly and even talk with other people and doing something else. <br /><br />I can still remember when i was in ROTU, whenever we had our morning parade which is always in the public area in the university, when all the cadets sing Negaraku in our morning parade, those civilians around us who passing by didn't even bother stop walking around and stand at attention to respect the anthem, still could see them walking around or doing their own business and turn a deaf ear on the anthem.<br /><br />I guess the problem is, we are lack of education. Mass Media should play their role on educating the public. but, mostly, as we can see, our media is full of SHIT and entertainment. That's why most Malaysians are so indiscipline with brain full of crap.Alpha Tango Six Ninerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08321952445860589859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108577687673016887.post-1592736015091789282009-08-22T10:38:19.276+08:002009-08-22T10:38:19.276+08:00I feel that whilst wanting to take pride in our na...I feel that whilst wanting to take pride in our nation especially on Hari Kebangsaan, we show off our Jalur Gemilang. Many ways are done, including wrapping it around the Angkasapuri, then having it flown from vehicles. If it enhances the stature and feelings for the flag it should be alright. Instead we would soon see a lot of these flags lying on the roads, tattered and muddied.It gives an impression that our flags are just a piece of rubbish. We should avoid creating this situation by not sticking it on our cars and other vehicles as it tend to be blown off. Have conditions that whenever we want to do that it should be done properly, secured by possibly screwing it on.Otherwisw don't.Koljohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784416882157673539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108577687673016887.post-84782081657038522822009-08-21T19:20:17.285+08:002009-08-21T19:20:17.285+08:00Dear Pak Chad and All,
That was a good observation...Dear Pak Chad and All,<br />That was a good observation you raised concerning our flags. Whilst you feel that our flags should just be flown in its true form of the star and the crescent moon on the left of the flag, as viewed by us, I kind of like the buntings that we can hang from the poles except that I feel the star and crescent moon should be facing to the right, as on the flag, instead of upwards.<br />Whatever our preference and political leanings, flying the flag at our homes would be a good way to show our pride in our nation and the coming Hari Kebangsaan. Along our lorong I noticed only 2 of us have flown the flags but none from the rest. Later kot or just no Merdeka spirit. I leave it to them.<br />Koljohnsetiakawangolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02224439537631021725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108577687673016887.post-56680241962311976712009-08-21T10:42:20.222+08:002009-08-21T10:42:20.222+08:00I agree with you Sir; Malaysians by and large are ...I agree with you Sir; Malaysians by and large are ignorant of the meaning and purpose of any flag much less the National Flag. Handling of the flag leaves much to be desired. making a dress or a t-shirt out of it is really despicable.

At an attention without flinching, with my eyes cast upwards. But then, people later, the politicans wanted us to fly it on our cars, lorries, builldings, homes etc etc. They cheapened it, it disgusts me to to listen to that call by politicians, mostly UMNO ones, who said by flying the flag meant that one was patriotic. Bah! Humbug!. They are corrupt to the core. I feel more patriotic and loyal by not flying the flag nowadays, just to spite them and just because of them. Incidentally, I will not be flying it ever until my country treats me equally, without considering my race or religion.Major D Swami (Retired)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07293039146572298497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108577687673016887.post-57887076923494690072009-08-20T11:38:09.418+08:002009-08-20T11:38:09.418+08:00Dear Dato'
I must be talking cock to say that...Dear Dato'<br /><br />I must be talking cock to say that our people have been misunderstanding the National Flag since Merdeka because of the word FLAG (Bendera) while it should be called National COLOURS, but then have we the right meaning for the word colours in this sense, other than "warna"?<br /><br />In the military we have been calling it colours but still in Bahasa the military too called it bendera.<br /><br />And yet we learnt to learn the meaning of all its significance, by colours.<br /><br />If we compare our National Flag with that of any of our military unit's colours, we see that, our National Flag is just a piece of painted cloth, while the military unit's colours is so strikingly crafted with embroideries, insignia and high quality silky material to give it that glowing shine and image when hoisted up the air.<br /><br />But if we talk about simplicity is the reason for our Flag then I must be talking cock to not to say UMNO's flag is revered more than the national flag in all aspects. And I must be talking cock to not to say only the military people treat our military colours as SACRED.<br /><br />It's all about discipline and the people of this country are largely indisciplined lots. We should have learnt how other DEMOCRATIC countries, like Singapore (I know you don't like it) turned their people into strict disciplinarians, and that also took them years to develop, not overnight through political oratory.FMZamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12684540817175263124noreply@blogger.com
