When British Invaded Malaya...

This is what happen when the British came to Malaya and turned my beloved country into one of their occupied land. Commenced from the Pangkor Treaty 1874, there goes a tale of an invaded country, language and mind. People in Malaya started to used English as their first language. 'Thanks' to the British, all the national affair and businesses were run in English. Those who can master this language will earn the top post anywhere in Malaya.

Unfortunately, this mental attitude still in the mind of Malayan people even though they already earn the independency more than half century ago. The name already changed into Malaysia but not the mentality. Most people still do not have confidents to use their own language in all aspects.

While thinking on how to influence those unconfident people, I am not going to stick with just Malay language. Now I am starting this new blog contained my opinion regarding the issues all around me - economy, science, world, politics, environment, etc. All will be in English. Well there is no harm learning it anyway, and I am forethought of learning other languages also. Sounds cool of knowing many languages ayt.(=
