Gaza dan
Israel
Seluruh dunia sedia maklum mengenai konflik di antara
Gaza dan Israel. Pelbagai spekulasi dihadapkan ke muka media massa dan setiap
pemikiran sama ada Muslim atau sebaliknya. Isu antara Gaza dan Israel ini
dikaitkan dengan pelbagai konflik sama ada agama, pangkat dan sebagainya.
Tetapi tidak semua tahu bahawa sebab utama mengapa Israel begitu mahukan Gaza
adalah disebabkan tanah Gaza tersebut.
Baru – baru ini kami berpeluang menemubual Datin
Paduka Marina Mahathir untuk mendapatkan maklumat dan berkongsi pengalaman
mengenai isu Gaza dan Israel ini. Tidak
dinafikan apabila timbul apa jua isu masyarakat di Malaysia, bukan sahaja di
seluruh dunia akan melakukan demonstrasi mengenai isu tersebut. Kami juga
berpeluang untuk menyertai dan melihat sendiri demonstrasi yang di jalankan di
Kedutaan Amerika, Kuala Lumpur.
Maka, isu ini kami tanyakan kepada Marina Mahathir.
Katanya, tidak salah untuk melakukan protes seperti ini. Tapi adakah ia efisyen
dalam menyampaikan apa yang ingin disampaikan ? apa tujuan diadakan protes
seperti ini ? kadang – kadang protes seperti ini perlu di ketuai oleh orang-
orang yang sebetulnya ingin protes ini berjaya disampaikan mesejnya. Protes itu
betul dalam apa jua isu tapi haruslah dilakukan dengan aman dan betul.
Marina Mahathir sendiri berkata, konflik antara Gaza
dan Israel bukan mengenai isu agama antara Islam dan Yahudi atau sebagainya. Ia
adalah mengenai tanah yang direbutkan oleh Israel. Tanah yang kecil tidak dapat
menampung jumlah manusia yang ramai. Selain itu tidak semua Palestinian adalah
Muslim. Maka, ini bukan isu agama tapi isu kemanusiaan.
Di Malaysia, rakyat sibuk memboikot produk-produk yang
katanya menyumbang kepada peperangan yang berlaku di Gaza. Adakah dengan
melakukan boikot sebegini membantu mereka di sana ? Kita tidak akan merasa apa
yang orang lain rasa jika kita tidak berada di tempat mereka. Begitu juga apa
yang rakyat Palestin alami kini. Kita sebagai rakyat Malaysia tidak dapat
merasa keperitan yang dialami mereka kerana kita hidup dalam negara yang aman
damai tanpa sebarang permusuhan dan peperangan. Ramai antara mereka yang mati
semasa makan malam bersama keluarga, mati semasa membeli barang di kedai dan
dalam pelbagai keadaan lagi.
Marina Mahathir sendiri mengaku bahawa beliau tidak
membeli makanan atau produk dari Israel. Beliau percaya bahawa setiap francais
Starbucks atau McDonald di Malaysia adalah kepunyaan rakyat Malaysia sendiri.
Sedangkan di dalam Mal Zamzam Tower berdekatan Masjidil Haram juga terdapat
Starbucks. Jadi, bagaimanakah isu memboikot produk dari Israel ini boleh
menyumbang kepada keamanan di Gaza ? Katanya lagi, jangan terlalu percaya
kepada khabar angin yang mengatakan setiap sen yang kita salurkan untuk membeli
produk dari Israel ini akan digunakan untuk menghancurkan umat Islam di
Palestin.
Kami juga sempat bertanya mengenai media di Malaysia
kepada beliau. Katanya rakyat Malaysia sudah pandai memilih dan berfikir apa
yang mereka mahukan. Terutama sesetengah media yang terlalu menonjol mereka
berpihak kepada apa. Seharusnya media menjadi lebih neutral dan biarkan pembaca
yang memilih sendiri. Beliau juga menyatakan rasa kecewanya beberapa tahun
kebelakangan ini terhadap media di Malaysia yang suka memutar belitkan apa yang
sesetengah orang atau ahli politik katakan. Beliau juga pernah menjadi mangsa
apabila kenyataannya sengaja diputar belitkan.
Beliau juga setuju bahawa pembaca hanya boleh membaca
apa yang ada pada surat khabar sahaja dan terima bulat-bulat apa yang ada di
dalamnya. Lain pula halnya dengan media baru seperti blog dan sebagainya.
Mereka lebih gemar membaca dan mendapatkan maklumat daripada blog kerana mereka
mengamalkan kebebasan menulis dan bersuara. Apa yang terdapat di blog tidak
terdapat di dada akhbar.
Akhir kata, Marina Mahathir menyatakan rasa
keinginannya untuk melihat kebebasan menyuarakan pendapat mereka tanpa di kecam
oleh mana-mana pihak dan semuanya kembali normal. Beliau juga mengharapkan agar
masyarakat saling menghormati dan kekalkan sikap positif setiap masa.
cyber balkanization : the disturbance towards the spirit of 1Malaysia
The word Balkanization or Balkanisation (Balkanisasi in Malay) refers to the noun, Balkan which means dividing a territory into small states. To ease the understanding of the term, it is also similar to the word collapse, break up, separation or even division. This basically refers to terms in politics, life and style, and economy in a country which is going through a division caused by the balkanisation of a subject. According to the article given by Dr. Rahmat Ghazali, it is referring to the cyber balkanisation.
Cyber balkanisation or balkanisation through the internet has been a hot topic lately in our country, Malaysia as the political state of our country has been the word of mouth. Through the internet, readers and subscribers may choose what they read from what they want to know instead of receiving the actual fact and from this, of course what they are eager to know could be easily obtained without getting the urge to even read other facts which may be true and more reliable compared to the facts that the readers or subscribers believe in.
Because of the freedom of speech through the internet has no limitations or any gatekeepers to guide and strain what goes on and what has been uploaded, readers and subscribers have their own rights to choose in what they want to read and believe.
As an example, the most easiest way to show about cyber balkanisation in Malaysia which effects a lot towards the political side of our country is the case on the Bersih 2.0 rally in the month of June 2012 in the streets of Kuala Lumpur (as the main gathering location). The rally started off as a calm protest but suddenly turned out to be aggressive when tear gas started aiming the protesters, and the protesters began to start their rage and became violent. To differentiate and compare on reports and news on this case between cyber or online news and printed media (magazines, newspapers, etc.), there shows different point of views and different ways of reporting about the case. We could see some media have been accused for being bias to one political party, and of course as the internet is a free and non protected source of information, people tend to make up stories and cause a bigger wave of hatred to one another (political party).
Besides than political views, through religious beliefs, respect towards ethnics in the country, the misuse of freedom of speech and the misuse of limitless and free internet access may also be a cause to balkanisation in the country. For example, to create websites is expensive, but to create a blog is free. Therefore, people create a blog to write anything they want (because of no gatekeepers) and by anything it could be something that might be sensitive to anyone. Blogs and sites talking about bad things on a religion, using racism or even sexism in their text, sharing false information are now widely seen on the internet. For instance, as what Dr. Rahmat Ghazali stated, if we search "Melayu babi" on Google, there will be more than 100,000 results related to the topic. Not just that, even tips on how to kill a person will result to almost 50,000 related articles to the topic. These could be a start in leading towards robbery, rape and even murder.
Division between political parties, religion and ethnics is what we should avoid in order to raise the name of our Malaysia and show the spirit of 1Malaysia throughout our daily lives. We may have the rights to speak up, voice out and say what we want to say, but there are their limitations. Balkanisation shall be avoided.

no end to a friend
'a friend in need is a friend in deed', a famous saying which i believe is true. In life, it would be impossible if one declares that they don't have or never had any friends before. Friends could be anybody, anyone whom you wouldn't even expect them to be. They could be the stranger you talk to on any social networking sites, a friend of a friend, or even your next door neighbor. There aren't any rules and regulations in life to make someone your friend. You could just start by simply saying hello. Well of course, if you're approaching an unknown person, beware, they might call you crazy. but there's nothing to loose, just make the move and say hello.
In my life, i'm surrounded by wonderful people who i declare as my friends. Boys, girls, tall or short, fair and dark, fat and slim, whatever and however they look, they're my friends. They are the one's who hold my secrets, who share any piece of happiness together, lend each others' shoulders during sad and bad times and just be there whenever we need each other. Syukur Allah granted me with uncountable fabulous friends whom i know will always be there for me, with me, no matter what happens.
quote #1
"don't smile as if there's a price tag on your mouth, that you'd have to pay for each smile you make. be sincere, because smiles are priceless"
