Minat mendalam Singapura untuk menyertai Malaysia tidak kekal. Pelbagai peristiwa dalaman telah berlaku dan memberi kesan ke atas pendirian Singapura tentang keanggotaannya dalam Malaysia. Lebih kurang dua tahun selepas Malaysia terbentuk orang-orang Melayu dan Cina di Malaya dan Singapura mengalami polarisasi kaum yang berbahaya. Yang jelas, polarisasi itu berlaku di antara pelampau Cina di Singapura dengan pelampau Melayu di Malaya, tetapi semakin mengancam toleransi dan hubungan kaum Cina-Melayu secara menyeluruh. Saluran perbalahan itu ialah People's Action Parti Singapura dan PERIKATAN di Malaya.

Keretakan hubungan Singapura-Kuala Lumpur mula timbul dalam suasana pilihan raya pertama Malaysia pada tahun 1964, manakala PAP merupakan antara banyak parti bertanding. Sebelum pilihan raya Lee Kuan Yew dan beberapa pemimpin PAP yang lain berkali-kali memperkecilkan MCA termasuk mengatakan pemimpin MCA kurang berkaliber dan terlalu bersahabat dengan UMNO. Kata-kata seumpama itu tidak disukai bukan sahaja oleh pemimpin MCA tetapi juga oleh pemimpin-pemimpin UMNO termasuk Tunku Abdul Rahman yang sangat menghargai persefahaman dan hubungan baik UMNO dengan MCA.

Sikap Lee Kuan Yew dan PAP amnya ditafsir oleh MCA dan juga oleh UMNO sebagai satu taktik PAP hendak mengambil alih peranan MCA dalam menjaga kepentingan kaum Cina. Kempen pilihan raya PAP secara besar-besaran jelas menunjukkan sikap itu. Laungan PAP supaya Cina menyokong PAP bagi memaksa pemimpin UMNO mengubah layanan sosial dan ekonomi mereka terhadap penduduk bandar menyebabkan pemimpin UMNO menganggap tindakan itu satu serangan langsung terhadap orang Melayu dan hak keistimewaan Melayu.
Sesungguhnya kempen pilihan raya pertama Malaysia itu satu peristiwa yang memberi kesan yang serius. Sementara orang Cina berasa keliru, orang Melayu amnya terus mencurigai Lee Kuan Yew. Sebilangan besar orang Melayu mentafsir tindakan Lee dan amnya PAP sebagai tindakan untuk menimbulkan permusuhan. Rasa permusuhan politik semakin lama menjadi sentimen perkauman yang negatif. Kecaman PAP seterusnya terhadap MCA sebagai parti yang lemah dianggap oleh pemimpin PERIKATAN satu usaha memecah belahkan persefahaman baik dalam PERIKATAN. Menjelang Julai 1964, ketegangan hubungan kaum sangat jelas. Malahan ketegangan meletus menjadi rusuhan sebanyak dua kali; iaitu pada 21 Julai dan sekali lagi pada 2 September 1964. Peristiwa-peristiwa itu telah merosakkan persefahaman antara Tunku dengan Lee. Hubungan Lee dengan pemimpin-pemimpin MCA juga semakin merosot. Keadaan ini telah mendorong Tunku melahirkan rasa kecewanya lalu menyatakan bahawa jika pemimpin Singapura merasakan tiada lagi persefahaman, mungkin perpisahanlah sahaja penyelesaiannya.

Bagi tempoh empat bulan pertama tahun 1965, hubungan Singapura-Kuala Lumpur ditandai dengan perang suara. Pertikaman lidah mula disertai oleh lebih ramai pemimpin. Tiada lagi nampak usaha ikhlas oleh sesiapa untuk membaiki keadaan. Sebaliknya semua pemimpin yang tampil hanya untuk menguatkan perjuangan pihak masing-masing.

Pada 27 April 1965, Singapura mengumumkan satu konvensi bagi membentuk "United Opposition Front" (Barisan Pembangkang Bersatu) bertujuan memperjuangkan persamaan hak. Seterusnya Lee Kuan Yew memulakan kempen "Malaysia Untuk Orang Malaysia" dengan penegasan bahawa tiada sebarang kaum pun di Malaysia lebih asli daripada kaum-kaum lain. Kenyataan itu dianggap oleh orang Melayu satu cabaran langsung kepada status orang Melayu. Setelah konvensi diadakan pada 9 Mei, ternyata laungan slogan PAP semakin menyatukan orang Cina untuk memusuhi Melayu.

Keadaan semakin meruncing setelah kempen "Malaysian Malaysia" Lee disambut oleh ekstrimis UMNO di bawah Jaafar Albar dengan laungan "Melayu Bersatu". Sementara itu pemimpin-pemimpin MCA mula melahirkan rasa tidak senang terhadap pendirian Singapura. Tan Siew Sin dan T.H.Tan antara pemimpin MCA yang mula mencadangkan Singapura berpisah daripada Malaysia.

Bagaimanapun usaha mencari penyelesaian telah dilakukan berkali-kali dari Jun hingga Ogos. Semuanya gagal kerana Singapura terus memburukkan keadaan. Akhirnya pada 7 Ogos 1965 Lee dan Tunku menandatangani persetujuan untuk berpisah. Pada 9 Ogos 1965, parlimen meluluskan rang undang-undang perpisahan. Dengan itu Singapura dengan rasminya keluar daripada Malaysia.

…………

Sebagai penutup beberapa persoalan boleh dikemukakan sekadar merangsang minda dan membuka perbincangan ilmiah. Bagaimana barangkali sekiranya Singapura terus kekal dalam Malaysia?.....

Clever RPK

Recruiting BN youth to stand by our side is the cleverest way to gain more popularity. One is that, he make us think that Malaysian shouldn't be biased toward the already persisting party. As long as they are given the chance for paradigm shift from muiltiraces oriented and bottomless curruption to clear water transparency and sharing, Umno is still able to lead us in the future. We, Malaysian are not dissatisfied with Umno the party, as they, the old fashioned folks deemed we are, instead, the scandal, unsolving corruption, unjust management, autonomy and abuse of power are the factors which make Malaysian nausea vomitting and children crying. Chances are there if reformation is initiated.
On the other hand, for those extremist, tiger in the old jungle, they will take this idea seriously as it would threaten their position and "power". The young generations usually are less fixed, concrete and ego at their thought and decision. Hence, chances are there, for them to swing from the conservative thinking to socially unacceptable contemporary ideas. The young generation has the fresh mind to be moulded. These idea will test the perception and faithfulness of the opposition party leader as well. We might see, who is the one who is just fighting for their party, own interest instead of the nation good.
3th is, despite doing so, the ultimate aim is not deviated. Conversely, there will be more young political hero regardless origin from governmental or oppositional party would stand up on their feet to fight against the old fashion dominating tigers. The time of victory is near as more capable leaders are mushrooming.
Now, whoever fight for transparency, single race or even same family will definitely win the game especially those from the members of Umno. Let's us pray for that day to happen. If not, I would anticipate more agressive and bloody idea in the future.

Love for my valentine...

Love is patient and kind,
It is not jealous or conceited or proud,
Love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable
Love does not keep a record of wrongs
Love is not happy with evils, but is happy with the truth.
Love never gives up,
and its faith, hope, and patience never fail

Politic watch....

What is the role of being the people representative?And, what does a country actually mean?
Let's back to the basic. A country exist by a group of people who own the same ideation, dream and goal to achieve. Therefore, together hand in hand in the same bot, they build, develop, mantain, and enjoy the achivement in the country. A group of people fight for their "country" independence because they felt that the "foreign" invaders are not originate from the locality. Theoretically, geography is the main determinant for the people nationality. By then, because of lacking mass media and communication in the past, the country is not influence from out forces. However, in this era of globalization and migration, the "country" definition has altered....
As time went by, the human learn to protect their right, ownerships and pride by making the rules and regulations. The rules are made and modify by the people representative at times to times to adapt the circumstances changes. As the idea of borderless world spread, the security and ownership of each country has been threatened seriously. The number of enemy has become larger and more alarming. The competition has become intense among country in the field of economy, politic, social, cultural, technology...etc. The presence of such real competition mold the human in this world to lost tract and addicted to the original means of survival. And, the sense proud and pride upon their ownership propagate as the competition persist.
Therefore, human has adopted the behaviour of jealousy, cunning, self protected, abusive, deceitful, scoundrel, oppressive...etc. The conservative concept of sharing of idea, dream and goal has decayed slowly by generation to generation.
As a result, is the "country" still persist? Are people representatives still needed? Why give the idiot the chances to corrupt and mismanage our property!!!We, should stand up, once and for all, reject all the nuisance and "joker". ---"people voice"

Human searching

How coincident and ironic that today I went to few popular places in Ipoh to search for a young girl who deemed to has ran away from house. Here start the cat and mouse chasing game between a over anxious mother and defiant daughter. I felt pity for both of them as it was another miscommunication problem. And, to make the thing worse, the girl is suffered from deafness and muteness. Unfortunately, she is still out of sight and contact.
The feeling of searching for a lost soul could be so distressing and hopelessness.

Never think that i was wrong

It is just happened to read a blog at this wee hours that make me realised what i had done was totally wrong. I never ever stand in her shoe and use my bloody brain to think twice before i act. i am ready to apologise deep from my heart that i had done it wrong and unattentively. Thanks God that giving me the chance to know you better by reading your blog. Sorry.....i would repay my debt somewhere, somewhat and somehow....

Neurotic...

Am i already had grown up as an adult or still trapped in the world of teenager?Still, I am confusing for my own indeterminate personality and trait. My age and physical appearance is not growing on par with the mind, thought and emotion. I once naively believe that i am already an adult who own the ability to judge, process sensory input and present myself wisely and "maturely".
Is the adult thinking signify a mature man or the mature thinking signify an adult man?
If a person who is neurotic and act accordingly with what his heart and gut voices, is he belong to the adulthood?It sounds ridiculous and nuisance that how can a person possibly controlled by the voices of emotion and "6th" sense. Is his future and dream to be an adult is dim?
The mind and heart are the main players in the game. I am sure that stony hard, cruel and conscete hearted person would not have the same dilemma. That's mean, the more conscious the person is to the power of mind, he will eventually dig his own grave and become more neurotic and indeterminate.
The question now is how to migrate from the neurotic and darker inner-built dungeon of himself to the open ground where he is able to be like normal ordinary persons. Are we, human are obliged to obey the law of nature where "maturing" is the path we must step foot on but conversely we are born with neurotism initially?If this could be done, what else the human mind could do?
