The Miracle of Origin Not Effective In Every Way
I
am reading the my oxford dictionary, to find the definition for the word
"Origin". Basically, it doesn't mean much to me in my private life. I
came across this word "Origin" from a news article, but the reason to
force me to study the real meaning of this word, is that people always use this
word in their regular conversation without knowing the hidden meaning its bring
to us in our life. If I use concept of origin in my career, it must come to a
hot discussion of capital intellectual which could bring great wealth to you.
Okay,
it is defined as starting point and source. Then, the starting point of this
country is where we see the formation of Malaysia in our declaration of
independence. From this point of view, some people would bring us fly back to
the ancient time like what the history is recording such as Kingdom of
Srivijaya or Majapahit where each of us could not imagine anything valuable at
all from the few pages in history book. Let say that those are origin of
Malaysia, then Chinese Community could not claim anything at all, because some
people say that the Indian built the Kingdom. Later, the emerge of Melaka
Kingdom, it is importance, because it is almost the origin of each sultanate
system in Malaysia. Princess Parameswara was the founder of Melaka. Its sound
like Indian as well, but was considered as Malay Kingdom.
People
did not inherit anything at all from these Kingdoms, no magnificent palace are
seen today, no native language that show their own identity, no race festival
to celebrate together, no traditional food, no antic to show high civilization,
and even without any traditional living skills in today. There were only a few
humbly shack everywhere around this regions. I can say that what you own and
inherit from these Kingdom are not sufficient to enjoy the bliss of modern city
life you are living now.
When
people think a bit further about it, origin could be an issue debating about
who came first in this country. The story of tortoise and rabbit running might
bring some fun to enjoy you. The one and
the only one mega city in Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur. The origin of it should start
from the story of business development by founder Yap Ah Loy. Nowadays, we can
see the modern and progress of this city. About 40 years ago, more than 90% of
the citizens were Chinese, Chinese built it and Chinese living in it, it is
fully make sense and reasonable. Today, the city coverage has included the
whole Klang Valley, which about 30KM away from the core city destination. Based
on my own assumption, nowadays, it could be 50% Malays and 50% Chinese
respectively dominate this city.
Not
everyone have the same fate in this country, the origin of the city has lost
its origin meaning for living. The Malays has its own origin's story as reason to
survive and live in this city, meanwhile, the Chinese have no more any chances
to continue their living in this city. Chinese have gradually lost their
business opportunity, job opportunity, and now Chinese living place are
threatened by the Malay Dominance Effect. Because of the origin, the Malays
have higher privileges in claiming their benefits in every government's
implemented Policy. Without the privileges like the one derived from the Malay origin,
Chinese community solely rely on the themselves to find its own ways to survive
is just a myth to comfort Chinese community.
Among
the large native populations, about 50% of them are coming from Indonesia, but
the concept of origin is still effective for each of them to claim anything in
Malaysia. They have their own story about origin to claim anything in this
country, but you have neglected Chinese community which have sacrificed and
contributed the large portion for the development of this country. If you no
money, we gave. If you don't have job, we gave. If you don't know, I taught
you. If you need help, we helped. You just never think about me.
