Read this somewhere on the internet.. something that i thought would be good to share with all of our younger
MERDEKA generation... , SELAMAT HARI MERDEKA to all malaysian...

==========================================================

My father was truly an unsung hero who fight for the nation and country
during his youth and luckily he still alive until now to tell those old
stories about pre-Independence era.

He was teenager during Japanese occupation, being forced to sing
Japanese country anthem during schools facing the sun every morning.
Later, he joined the AWAS, API shouting 'Merdeka' and run away hiding
when Nepalese armies come to catch all the crowd, while the UMNO still
shouting 'Hidup Melayu' at that time. Then, in 1948, he joined the UMNO
and later PKMM to support the declination of Malayan Union. He tell me
that English give condition before people of Malaysia can even think
about independence. They say, 'you three races must be good and respect
each other, otherwise there will be no independence for you lot'.So
what Tengku Abdul Rahman did was tell to leader of those 3 races to
build party for each races. After those done, Tengku Abdul Rahman lead
those way to independence along with other 2 races parties
(UMNO,MCA,MIC) and say something roughly like this, 'Now, we had
fulfilled your condition, can we talk about independence now?'.



Even English quite skeptic about people of Malaya wanting an
independence for their country, This English captain supervise a unit
SC which my father was a member said to him during recess time while
rolling his ciggie with only one hand, in Malay:



'Bikin jarum pon tak tahu, apa macam Melayu mahu Merdeka?', and father
replied, 'Bukan Melayu mahu Merdeka, tetapi MALAYA yang mahu Merdeka'



And he say that with such passion that the English captain quiet for a
moment, savoring the information slowly and never talk about that again
after. Nowadays we prove him that he wrong. We can.



After, he joined to become SC to fight of Communist during Malayan
Emergency, more motivated to give food to his family which is hard
during that time and he never kill of any single Communist be it Malay
or Chinese during his services but has actively participate later on
becoming mata-mata gelap (preman) in 1950's mostly catching on triad
members which is quite active at that time.



He quit the service 1 year after the Independence of Malaya and start
becoming fisherman, carpenter and lastly working at his farm and
retired long ago. He tell me in order for me to get pension, he will
have to start from below again in Rejimen Askar Diraja which means he
will have to start form lowered ranks all over again, which he declined
and thus, never get pension from the newly made Malaysian Government.



And now in his 80's, for this 50th Independence day, He tell me a story between him and one teacher.



Father: Aku rasa perjuangan aku dahulu menentang Malayan Union sia-sia sahaja. Aku rasa aku bodoh.



Teacher: Emm??



Father: Aku rasa perjuangan aku menentang Komunis dahulu juga sia-sia sahaja. Aku juga rasa aku bodoh.



Teacher: Kenapa ya?



Father: Tengoklah keadaan sekarang. Anak-anak menteri umur 20-30's dah
boleh jadi jutawan. Aku apa ada? Aku penat-penat tentang, diorang
sedap-sedap bersenang lenang.



And the teacher just laugh.



Something to share for younger generations. From the people who lived during the era.

A tourist walked into a pet shop and was looking at the animals on display.
While he was there, another customer walked in and went over to a cage at
the side of the shop and took out a monkey. 

He fit a collar and leash, handed it to the customer, saying, ''That'll be
$5000.'' The customer paid and walked out with his monkey.

Startled, the tourist went over to the shopkeeper and said, ''That was a
very expensive monkey. Most of them are only a few hundred dollars. Why did
it cost so much?''

The shopkeeper answered, ''Ah, that monkey can program in C - very fast,
tight code, no bugs, well worth the money.''

The tourist looked at the monkey in another cage. ''That one's even more
expensive - $10,000! What does it do?''

''Oh, that one's a C++ monkey; it can manage object-oriented programming,
Visual C++, even some Java. All the really useful stuff,'' said the
shopkeeper.

The tourist looked around for a little longer and saw a third monkey in a
cage of its own. The price tag around its neck read $50,000. He gasped to
the shopkeeper, ''That one costs more than all the others put together! What
on earth does it do?''

The shopkeeper replied, ''Well, I haven't actually seen it do anything, but
it says it's a consultant.''

doing the

same thing to them at funerals.
