8.00 am. It was BM period in wispi 4. The worst place in KMS to have an academic session. Sheila and Tifa had already prepared their presentation for a poem entitled "Salam Benua" composed by the late Usman Awang.. Sheila was plucking the guitar, providing a live background music and tifa recited the poem in the most simple way but yet meaningful. As they explained to the whole class, they came across a symbolic phrase that triggered the learning session in that morning... "gerhana mei".
Sheila: Okeyh smue. Gerhana mei ini merupakan simbolik kejadian 13 Mei 1969.. Kite smue tahu kan ape yg terjadi pada tahun itu.. seterusnya...
Puan Azizah: Bagaimana awak tahu gerhana mei itu merupakan simbolik kejadian 13 mei? Boleh jadi 16 mei, dan 31 mei? mengapa?
Tifa: (trying to settle down the crucial situation) Sbb peristiwe tuh significant pada negara kita..
Definitely a wrong turn. I can see a glint of unsatisfactory in Puan Azizah's eyes. I knew that things will be even chaos... and i was right..
Puan Azizah said something that completely change my perspective about life..
"Awak tak buat research pasal 13 mei bukan? Enkorang taw x ape bende nye 13 mei neyh? Mende nie korang patut taw, lagi2 yang nk fly pegi overseas.. Sedih saye tgk anak-anak muda sekarang buat xhirau mende2 mcm nie. Taw xkorang kalau xder orang bejuang untuk orang melayu, jangan harap lah korang nak merasa pegi luar negara. orang cina walaupun tak dapat scholarships, boleyh je pegi luar negara. Diorang ade duit, ekonomi diorang yang conquer.. Kite neyh? Harapkan biasiswa kerajaan. itupun ade yg xsdr diri lagi. Sy taw betapa ngerinya kejadian 13 mei tuh. Sy f3 pada masa itu. Sy igt lagi orang cina mati dibunuh, dan dibuang ke dalam sungai. Mase tuh, dh xkire jiran ke ape ke. Masing-masing ade kepentingan sendiri. Orang melayu neyh pantang dicabar. Itulah yang bagus pasal orang melayu neyh. Xmustahil 13 mei nie jadik lagi kalau kita xberhati-hati. Sedarlah smue. Amik taw lah jugak pasal mende2 mcm nie. Jangan bile bace surat khabar tuh, bukan hiburan je. Sukan je... Awak nnti dh jadik doctor, engineer ke, balik malaysia and tolong orang melayu. Kuasai ekonomi, barulah orang melayu boleyh maju..."
I was so mesmerized with her long and meaningful speech. I realized that our new generation including myself is living in too comfortable zone because we do not struggle to get what we want. "Melayu Mudah Lupa". That's for sure. I hope that i will keep on being reminded by people around me the main reason I am here. Being sponsored by MARA. Sounds cliche? It's up to you to decide....
