CARTOON IN INTERNET : MERDEKA? INDEPENDENT? 独立？

CARTOON IN INTERNET : NOT THE THREAT

The leader of  the party component BN which claimed to be representing Chinese ethnic at one time expressed opinion about the extend of Chinese support towards the party, Dr said, the party will not seek any appointment of any ministry position if the number of the parliment seat is not achieved  its satisfactory target. The statement of this kind was raised frequently when the general election just around the corner  to remind the Chinese voters think it properly before decide who shall protect the fortune of Chinese if the number of ministry in the cabinet was reduced? This tactic seems would be able to scare Chinese not to elect opposition. However, this time round, this statement has invited stiff criticism among Chinese community as it perceived as threat. Worse still, it has adversely invited negative effect whereby not many  heed his call. The party quickly explained that this statement was merely to remind its members endevour to win more seats to prevent risk of lossing goverment positions inclusive thousands of  head of villager positions. It turned threat to become bait. This scenerio where it is not on the side of the party could be discussed from few angles. Firstly, after the tsunamy of 308 general election after declination of this party and emerged of two party system, the welfare of the Chinese ethnic was still protected even has gained attention from the party which stressed on the "mastership" seems less erogant as before. In short, this Chinese party no longer relevent as party which protect the fortune of  Chinese ethnic. Secondly, it has been many times full support was given by Chinese voters in the hope that it would be able to solve problems faced by Chinese community at least they would be treated equally. Unfortunately this was not happen, worse still the welfare of the Chinese community was deteriorated. This Chinese component party was perceived as the party always follow the wishes of  the main party in the coalition. The leaders tends to protect thier individual power and wealth against the welfare of the community. Thirdly, most of parliment seats won were mainly from the area where majority voters are Malay, it has put this party in the embarrass and uncomfortable state if the party portray itself  so obviously as the worrior to fight the welfare of Chinese community in worrying they will lose its state and parlimentary seats. Sad to say that our country has reached its 55 years independent anniversary, yet there is still existance of party to protect the welfare of thier respective ethnic, it is therefore our dream to extinct the party of this kind instead replace by the party to take care the welfare of all citizen without differentiate the colour of thier skin in the near future.

 Pucuk pimpinan komponen parti BN yang dikatakan mewakili kaum Cina pada satu ketika pernah meluahkan pandangan tentang tahap sokongannya kaum Cina terhadap partinya, Dr berkata, partinya tidak akan menyandang sebarang jawatan menteri sekira bilangan kerusi Parlimen partinya tidak mencapai pada sasar yang memuaskan. Pernyataan ini sering kali diungkitkan semasa pilihanraya menjelang agar mempergingatkan pengundi kaum Cina memikir sebaik-baiknya sebelum mengundi kononnya siapakah yang akan membela nasib kaum Cina sekira bilangan menteri dalam jemaah berkurangan? Taktik ini nampaknya dapat menakutkan kaum Cina daripada mengundi parti pembangkang. Akan tetapi, kali ini pernyataan ini mengundang kritikan yang hebat di kalangan masyarakat Cina kerana ia dianggap sebagai ugutan. Malah, ia sebaliknya mengundang kesan songsang yang rata-rata tidak lagi mengendah tegur ini lagi. Parti ini dengan serta-merta menjelaskan pernyataan ini adalah sekadar memperingatkan ahli-ahlinya berusaha untuk memenagi kerusi supaya elak daripada risiko kehilangan jawatan kerajaan termasuk beribu-ribu jawatan penghulu. Nampaknya, ugutan telah dijadikan umpanan. Senerio yang tidak memihak kepada parti ini boleh diperbincangkan daripada beberapa segi. Pertama, selepas tsunami pilihanraya 308 yang memperlihat kejatuhan parti tersebut dan kemunculan sistem dua parti, kebajikan kaum Cina masih dibela malah mendapat perhatian daripada parti yang begitu tegas kepada "ketuanan" nampaknya kurang angkuh seperti sedia kala.Pendek kata, parti kaum Cina ini tidak lagi relevan sebagai parti yang membela nasib kaum Cina. Kedua, telah banyak kali pengundi Cina memberi peluang dengan memberi sokongan yang sepenuhnya agar masalah-masalah yang dihadapi di kalangan masyarakat Cina dapat diatasi setidak-tidaknya mereka dilayani dengan saksama. Malangnya, ini tidak berlaku, sebaliknya kebajikan masyarakat Cina pada ketika itu kian terhakis. Komponen parti kaum Cina ini diperlihatkan tunduk di bawah jari telunjuk kalau tidak bertindak sebagai pak ampu kepada parti induk yang menerajui pakatan ini. Pemimpinnya diperlihat mempertahankan kuasa dan kekayaan individu  daripada menjaga kebajikan masyarakat. Ketiga, kebanyakan kerusi parlimen yang dimenanginya adalah di bawah kawasan yang majoritinya terdiri daripada pengundi kaum Melayu, ini meletakkan parti ini pada keadaan yang mengaib dan tidak menyenangkan sekiranya partinya terlalu menonjol dirinya sebagai wira memperjuangkan kebajikan masyarakat Cina dikhuathiri kehilangan kerusi DUN dan parlimen. Amat menyedihkan setelah kita telah mencapai kemerdekaan selama 55 tahun, masih wujudnya parti yang membela nasib mengikut kaum masing-masing, maka adalah impian kita agar parti sedemikian dingahkan diganti dengan parti memperjuangkan rakyat sejagat tanpa mengenal warna kulitnya kelak.

      

CARTOOM IN INTERNET : LEGISLATION SYSTEM???

CARTOOM IN INTERNE: DEPRESS DEMOCRACY

 

The violent act by the government against peaceful rally to demand for the clean and transparent general election on the pathway for nation progressive and truly democracy clearly depicted the government endeavours depress newly rooted democracy in our lovely mother land, eventhough government aware that freedom in peaceful rally and speech are provided for in the constitution. We believe that this bud would have been growing eventough in confronting whatever obstacles ahead such as pressure, violent, to the extend of  autocratic.

Tindakan kerajaan dengan menggunakan kekerasan terhadap perhimpunan aman yang menuntut  pilihanan raya yang lebih bersih dan telus dalam mengejar kemajuan negara dan demokrasi yang sebenar jelas menonjolkan kerajaan dengan sedaya upaya menekan demokrasi yang baru berakar umbi dan bertunas di negara yang kita cintai ini, walaupun kerajaan sedar kebebasan perhimpunan aman dan kebebasan bersuara adalah diperuntukkan di dalam perlembagaan. Nescaya tunas ini dapat bertumbuh dengan suburnya  walaupun menghadapi apa rintangan sekali pun seperti tekanan, kekerasan, malah tindakan kuku besi.

CARTOON REVIEW : Temporary Teacher

 

The issue of  ignorance and denied attitude of the Penang Education Office to pay the tiny salary to the temporary teachers who have taught in Chinese primary school for three months has again bring the attention of the public. Up most top cartoon was published in Nanyang Siang Pau on 21/2/88 depicted temporary teacher was treated as spare tyre of the Chinese primary school as the replacement when the qualified teacher shortage often happen here. The second cartoon was published in Nanyang Siang Pau on 14/9/92 depicted the school headmaster has to approach door to door looking for the suitable candidate to fill up the temporary teacher position as if he is the salesman due to poor respond to the post. The two articles below described my ambition to become a teacher was not materialised eventough I attended post graduate Diploma in Education in University Malaya after having served as a temporary teacher in Chinese primary school for almost two years due to no posting for science stream teacher in the first year graduation. The entry requirements were tough as many unemployed graduates looking for stable jobs in the midst of reccession in year of 90's. Out of 20,000 applicants, only 2000 graduates were taken in after deliberate interview by the dean and professors. I was called to serve as a chemistry teacher in Kuala Terengannu Technic School in the second year after graduation but it was too late as I was used to the working environment as a chemist in one of the public listed company. Being a temporary teacher before, I realised the heavy responsibility to the students in exchange for tiny salary. Please don't take advantage over them, they should be given chance to be a qualified teacher.

Isu berkenaan dengan sikap tidak endah dan penafian Pejabat Pendidikan Penang untuk membayar secubit gaji kepada guru sandaran yang telah mengajar di sekolah rendah Cina sekali lagi menarik perhatian orng awam. Kartun paling atas dipaparkan di Nanyang Siang Pau pada 21/2/88 menonjolkan guru sandaran dianggap sebagai tayar simpanan sekolah rendah Cina sebagai pengganti semasa kekurangan guru terlatih yang kerap berlaku di sini.Kartun yang kedua dipaparkan di Nanyang Siang Pau pada 14/9/92 menonjolkan gurubesar terpaksa tampil ke hadapan dari pintu ke pintu mencari calon yang sesuai untuk memenuhi jawatan guru sandaran andaikan sebagai jurujual kerana sambutan yang kurang memerangsangkan. Dua rencana yang berikutnya menerangkan cita-cita saya menjadi guru tidak kesampaian  walaupun saya menghadiri kursus Diploma Lepasan Ijazah Pendidikan di Univrsiti Malaya setelah dua tahun berkhidmat sebagai guru sandaran di sebuah sekolah rendah Cina hampir dua tahun kerana tiada jawatan guru aliran sains selepas tahun pertama tamat pelajaran. Syarat kemasukan agak sukar kerana ramai graduan yang menganggur dahagakan pekerjaan yang stabil di tengah-tengah kemelesetan ekonomi pada tahun 90an. Daripada 20,000 pemohon, hanya 2,000 graduan yang diambil masuk selepas pertimbangan temuduga oleh dekan dan profesor. Saya dipanggil bertugas sebagai guru kimia di Sekolah Teknik Kuala Terengganu pada tahun berikutnya tetapi telah terlambat kerana saya telah biasa dengan persekitaran kerja sebagai ahli kimia di sebuah syarikat awam. Sebagai guru sandaran sebelum ini, saya sedar tanggungjawab yang berat terhadap murid-murid ditukar dengan secubit gaji. Mudah-mudahan jangan mengambil kesempatan terrhadap mereka, sebaliknya mereka sepatut diberi peluang untuh menjadi guru yang terlatih.

CARTOON REVIEW : Rare Earth

This cartoon was published in Public News dated 8/7/87 when Asia Rare Earth issue proposed by BN government was hotly debated, it depicted the new born distorted baby, resulted from the mother who was exposed to the radioactice ray of  rare earth while she was pregnant, would want to take revenge against the minister who had agreed to such a proposal and denied the danger of radioactive ray towards the health of human being. It has proved to be true when a single parent mother come forward recently sighed with crying that the hardship she has gone through to bring up one out of  the eight who is mentally and partial bodily retarded child resulted from her work with Asia Rare Earth when she was conceived this child to support the livelihood of her children. Nearly 24 years has past, the same issue was proposed once again by the same government. Will our government still sturbborn to proceed on with this proposal without considerate the objection of the people? Be repentant!

Kartun ini dipaparkan di Berita Awam pada 8/7/87 semasa isu Asia Rear Earth yang dicadangkan oleh kerajaan BN tengah hangat diperdebatkan, ia menonjolkan seorang bayi yang baru dilahirkan diherotbenyotkan, akibat daripada ibunya yang terdedah kepada pancaran radioaktif rare earth semasa hamil, bayinya berhasrat membalas dendam terhadap menteri pada masa itu yang bersetuju dengan cadangan tersebut  serta menafikan bahaya radioaktif terhadap kesihatan manusia. Ini terbukti benar apabila seorang ibu tunggal baru-baru ini bertampil ke hadapan mengeluh dengan tangisan betapa sengsaranya memelihara salah seorang daripada lapan anak yang terencat akal dan sebahagian badannya akibat bekerja dengan Asia Rare Earth semasa ibu ini mengandung anak tesebut demi menyara anak-anak mereka. Hampir 24 tahun sudah berlepas, isu yang sama dicadangkan sekali lagi oleh kerajaan yang sama. Adakah kerajaan kita masih berdegil meneruskan cadangan ini tanpa menghirau bantahan rakyat? Bertaubatlah!

CARTOON REVIEW : Chinese Education in Malaysia

This cartoon was published in Public News on 22/6/1987 depicted the hardship faced by the Chinese community in pursuing thier study in Chinese language. Not really as what have claimed by our former prime minister  that Chinese in Malaysia is "lucky" lot whom they can study the Chinese language freely. It does not come authomatically but with a lot of sacrifices, sweat and blood. Our ancestor teacher Mr Lim who has really fight on the ground of human right to study thier own mother tongue until his licence of teaching profession was withdrawn by the government and his citizenship was retracted, he was forced to live without proper job and his livelihood was in hardship. Many unfair education policies subsequently were implemented knowingly or otherwise aiming to eradicate the opportunity to study Chinese language in order to achieve National Language policy. Attached the article about the hardship which has been gone through by the Chinese community in pursuing Chinese education in more 24 years ago, you can make some comparison how much it has improved in Malaysia eventhough Chinese language has widely gained the attention after China as the awakening dragon become one of the strongest economy country in the world lately. I really respect and salute to the Chinese individual who has sacrificed, contributed and worked hard quietly to defend  thier right to study thier own mother tongue no matter what. If not because of them, there would not be existance of  Chinese education in Malaysia until today!

Kartun ini dipaparkan di Berita Awam pada 22/6/1987 menonjolkan kesukaran yng dihadapi oleh masyarakat Cina dalam mengejar untuk mempelajari Bahasa Cina. Bukan benar sepeti apa yang diperkatakan oleh bekas perdana menteri bahawa Cina di Malaysia adalah mereka yang bertuah di mana mereka boleh belajar Bahasa Cina secara bebas. Ia bukan datang secara otomatik tetapi dengan pengorbanan, peluh dan darah. Nenek moyang kami cikgu Mr Lim sesungguhnya telah berjuang atas dasar hak kemanusiaan untuk mempelajari Bahasa ibunda  sehingga lesen pofesional perguruan telah dirampas dan kerakyatan telah ditarik balik, dia terpaksa hidup tanpa sebarang kerja sesuai dan berkehidupan dalam kesengsaraan. Banyak polisi yang tidak adil selanjutnya dilaksana secara sedar atau sebaliknya bertujuan untuk menghapuskan peluang untuk mempelajari Bahasa Cina agar dapat mencapai polisi Bahasa Kebangsaan. Bersama ini dilampirkan rencana yang memaparkan kesukaranyang dilalui dalam mengecapi pendidikan Bahasa Cina lebih daripada 24 tahun dahulu, kamu boleh membuat bandingan berapa banyakkah ia telah ditambahbaik walaupun bahasa Cina telah mendapat perhatian setelah negara Cina sebagai naga tersedar dari lena menjadi salah sebuah negara yang paling kuat dalam ekonomi di dunia baru-baru ini. Saya sungguh menghormati dan tabik kepada orang seperorangan  Cina yang telah berkorban, menyumbang dan bekerja keras dengan senyapnya untuk mempertahan hak untuk mempelajari bahasa ibunda tidak kira apa sekali pun. Bukan kerana mereka, pendidikan Bahasa Cina mungkin tidak akan wujud sehingga hari ini!

                                                                                                                                                                             

CARTOON REVIEW: OBJECTION TO SIT FOR CHINESE LANGUAGE EXAM

This cartoon depicted the father objected his child from taking Chinese Language in rhe government examination in believing that the subject is extremely difficult to score "A". Recently, few students from SM Jenis Kebangsaan (former Chinese Private Secondary School turned to government subsidised school) refused to take Chinese Language subject in SPM (government organised examination) has triggred the attention of the Chinese community and widely debating in the Chinese media. Attached a copy of article pulished in Nanyang Siang Pau on 16/11/1998 as part of my authobiograph  about  my journey to become cartoonist and  explain how I forced to take Chinese Language in my  exam  instead of  arts subject which is in the same catagory of the elective subjects eventhough I was so confident that I would be getting "A” in Arts subject, just to show my support to the Chinese Language subject. This happen 34 years ago. True enough, without share to expose my result, I was obtained not so good result in Chinese Language. I only  obtained grade 3 in  SRP eventhough I am still top student in the whole class and grade 5 eventough I was still the best student in SPM Chinese Language, there was none of  them obtain grade 6 and all obtained grade 7 or poorer in the school. You could have tought our school is lousy in the Chinese Language. Do you know that I was one of the top 10 winner in Chinese Language Essay Competition in the whole state of  Kedah and Perls in lower secondary school and upper secondary catagory, that was never happen before? My Chinese Language teacher therefore put on very high hope on me, sorry to say that I have dispointed them. There is open screte that the graph of the exam result could be manupulated, it could be aim of the authority concern to "pull up" the grade and passing mark of Chinese Language so to discourage student to take up the subject in thier exam, you would be surprised the percentage of the candidates who obtained "A" is less than 1%! Many issues which are widely discuss currently in fact were pending for decades unsolved, it reflects how "efficient" is our government particular the Chinese party which is still "in power". As Malay proverb goes, " language as a soul of the race", no matter what, we agreed that mother language shouldn't let abondon and disappear for whatever reason. In the next episod I will upload how tough the journey of  Chinese education in Malaysia, not as easy as what has claimed by our former prime minister. It is not come naturally and with a lot of sacrifices, don't ever take it for granted!

Kartun ini menonjolkan ayah membantah anaknya daripada mengambil  Matapelajaran Cina dalam peperiksaan kerajaan dengan mempercayai matapelajaran ini terlampau susah untuk mendapat keputusan "A". Baru-baru ini, beberapa orang pelajar daripada Sek Men Jenis Kebangsaan ( Sekolah Swasta Persendirian Cina yang ditukar ke sekolah bantuan kerajaan) enggan mengambil Bahasa Cina dalam peperiksaan SPM (peperiksaan yang dianjurkan oleh kerajaan) telah mencetuskan perhatian masyarakat Cina dan diperbincangkan secara meluas di media Cina. Bersama ini dilampir salinan rencana mengenai sebahagian perihal diri saya di sepanjang perjalanan sebagai kartunis dan menerangkan bagaimana saya terpaksa mengambil matapelajaran Bahasa Cina sebagai ganti matapejajaran seni yang berada dalam katagori matapejaran pilihan yang sama walaupun saya begitu yakin sekali saya boleh mendapat "A" dalam matapelajaran Seni, sekadar menunjukan sokongan saya terhadap matapelajaran Bahasa Cina. Ini berlaku 34 tahun yang lalu. Cukup benar, tanpa segan pilu saya membongkarkan keputusan saya, saya tidak dapat keputusan yang baik dalam matapelajran Bahasa  Cina.  Saya hanya mendapat gred 3 dalam keputusan Bahasa Cina  SRP saya walaupun saya masih pelajar terbaik dalam matapelajaran Bahasa Cina di seluruh kelas dan gred 5 walaupun saya masih pelajar cemerlang dalam matapelajaran Bahasa Cina SPM, tiada sesiapa yang mendapat gred 6 dan kesemuanya dalam sekolah mendapat gred 7 atau lebih teruk daripada itu.  Kamu mungkin menyangka presitasi Bahasa Cina di sekolah saya teruk. Tahukah anda saya adalah salah seorang daripada 10 di atas senarai pemenang pertandingan karangan Bahasa Cina di seluruh negeri Kedah dan Perlis yang tidak pernah ada di dalam sekolah kami? Guru Bahasa Cina saya lantaran itu menaruh harapan yang begitu tinggi terhadap saya, dengan putus asanya saya telah menghampakan mereka. Telah menjadi rahsia terbuka bahawa geraf keputusan peperiksaan boleh dimanipulasikan, ia mungkin merupakan hajat pihak berkuasa menaikan geraf dan markah kelulusan agar tidak menggalakkan pejalar tidak mengambil Bahasa Cina dalam peperiksaan. Kamu mungkin terperanjat bila mengetahui peratusan yang mendapat gred jauh lebih rendah daripada 1%. Isu-isu yang diperdebatkan secara luasnya baru-baru ini tertunggak berdekad-dekad lamanya tidak diselesai. Ia telah mencerminkan bagaimana "keberkesanan" kerajaan kita terutama parti Cina yang masih "berkuasa". Seperti bak kata pepatah Melayu berkata " Bahasa jiwa bangsa", walaubagaimana sekali pun, saya sangat bersetuju bahawa bahasa ibuanda tidak seharusnya dibiarkan terbengkalai dan lenyap walau dengan apa alasan sekali pun. Dalam episod yang akan datang, saya akan memuatnaikkan bagaimana sukarnya liku-liku perjalanan pendidikan Bahasa Cina di Malaysia, bukan semudah yang diperkatakan oleh bekas perdana menteri kita. Ia bukan datangnya semulajadi dan dengan banyak pengorbanan, jangan sekali-kali menganggap ia dianugrah! 

CARTOON REVIEW : TAR COLLEGE (3)

This catoon and article were published in Public News on 5/11/1984  and 23/7/1986 respectively by using the different pseudonym in avoiding been recognised by the  college and I was one of the popular cartoonists who agrgressively published cartoons condenming  politicus at that time. It depicted how was the life of the student of TAR College  by renting a room in the housing estate nearby and how they was bullied by the landlord. That is why we felt so sad and disppointed when the board of the TAR University rejected the offer by the tycoon who proposed the donation to build hostel for the student, one of the reasons of rejection was to take care the benefit of the surroundong developer. Shouldn't be the benefits of the student is more important? Whoever is not in that position cann't even feel the pain!   

 Kartoon dan rencana ini diparparkan di Berita Awam pada 5/11/1984  dan 23/7/1986 masing-masing dengan mengguna nama samaran yang lain untuk menggelakkan dapat dicam oleh pihak kolej dan saya adalah salah seorang kartunis yang agresif memaparkan kartun-kartun menkritik politikus pada masa itu. Ia memaparkan bagaimana kehidupan seorang pelajar Kolej TAR menyewa bilik di kawasan perumahan berhampiran dan bagaimana mereka dibuli oleh pimilik rumah. Inilah sebabnya kami berasa begitu sedih dan putus asa apabila Lembaga TAR Universiti menolak tawaran oleh orang kaya yang bercadang menderma untuk membina asrama untuk pelajar, salah satu daripada sebabnya ialah untuk menjaga kepentingan pemaju-pemaju di persekitarannya. Bukankah kepentingan pelajar itu lebih penting? Sesiapa yang bukan dalam keadaan ini tidak dapat terasa pedihnya!

CARTOON REVIEW : TAR COLLEGE (2)

This cartoon depicted the promise of some of the politicus which has never been materialised should only left in the memorial park. As in the case of recognation of certificate issued by TAR College, it has been promised by former  Education Minister when TAR College was first proposed to establish 43 years ago and the news was publised in WARTA MALAYSIA on 18/7/1968. Unfortunely, it has never been recognised since then not because of the education quality provided, but mainly due to the political considerations as mentioned in the two articles which has been published in Nanyang Siang Pau in 23 years ago supported by valid reasons and statistics . What has been done by MCA which  is acted as the founder of the college this far not even talking about upgrading its status to universiti, are they cann't even take a good care of  thier own baby?

Kartun ini menonjolkan janji oleh sesetengah politikus tidak pernah ditunaikan seharusnya ditinggalkan di Laman Kenangan. Seperti dalam hal pengiktirafan sijil yang dikeluarkan oleh Kolej TAR, ia telah dijanji pengiktirafannya oleh bekas menteri pendidikan pada masa itu semasa Kolej TAR pertama kali dicadangkan penubuhannya pada 43 tahun dahulu dan berita ini telah dipapar di WARTA MALAYSIA pada 18/7/1968. Malangnya, ia tidak pernah diiktirafkan selepas ini bulan kerana kualiti pendidikan yang dibekalnya, tetapi pertimbangan2 politik yang diperkatakan dalam dua salinan rencana yang dipaparkan 23 tahun dahulu disokong dengan sebab2 yang sahih dan statistik2 . Apa yang telah dilakukan oleh MCA selaku pengasas Kolej TAR selama ini jangan pula bercakap dengan menaiktaraf ke kedudukan universiti, adakah mereka tidak berkeupayan menjaga bayinya dengan baik?

CARTOON REVIEW: TAR COLLEGE (1)

This cartoon was published in Public News on 14/11/1984 depicted how TARCians queued up in early  morning before the reading room was opened in order to book the seat to make revision, I was one of them; as if the audients queueing desparately to buy the ticket to watch the movie by Jacky Chan . Those who are not in that position will not feel the pain. A day before, our Chinese deputy minister wondered the certificate issues by TAR College was widely recognised internationally, TAR College would has been qualified to be upgraded to university status. Do you know that this has been discusssed widely in 22 years ago? It would have been more than qualified to be upgraded to university status at that time. Issues have been raised up again and again before general election to gain support from the people but tends to forget thereafter. Attached are two copies of articles published in Nanyang Siang Pau in 1989 depicted my objection to upgrade TARC and MARA to university status with some valid reasons at that juncture, how the education system has been implemented and how TAR College and MARA were originated. Having talk a lot about disadvantages of  upgrading to university status, political agenda prevailed, not long after just before general election was announced, former prime minister at that time declared INSITITUTE TEKNOLOGY MARA(ITM) was upgraded to UNIVERSITY TEKNOLOGY MARA (UITM instead of UTM because the short form of UTM which stand for Universiti Teknologi Malaysia was taken, I suppose).Most of the TARCians are the "by products" and victims  who has  "no privilege" to enter local university because of the racial quota system which has sacrifing the quality of education,  they are catagery of people who cann't afford further study oversea and  "kick off" from local university eventhough thier result much better than other races. Those talented Chinese among talented community who are "lucky enough" to enter local university mostly end up in pure science and art subjects or none popular faculty. Eventually, we have produced most of the none marketable, racist minded, no confident, jobless and end up work in the government sector. Therefore, we are "proudly" on the top of the list among the highest ratio in the world in term of government servant against national population.

Kartun ini telah dipaparkan di Berita Awam pada 14/11/1984 menonjolkan pelajar TARC berbaris di hadapan bilik bacaan awal-awal siang sebelum ia dibuka bagi mendapatkan kerusi untuk membuat ulangkaji, saya salah seorang daripada mereka; bagaikan penonton2 berbaris dengan terdesak agar dapat membeli tiket untuk menonton tayangan wayang oleh Jacky Chan. Sesiapa yang bukan di keadaan sebegini tidak dapat terasa pedihnya. Sehari sebelum ini, timbalan menteri Cina kita meragukan sijil yang dikeluarkan oleh Kolej TAR yang diiktiraf dunia dengan luasnya, Kolej TAR seharusnya telah berkelayakan untuk dinaiktaraf ke kedudukan universiti. Tahukah anda, isu ini telah luas diperbincangkan 22 tahun yang lalu? Ia telah lebih daripada berlayak untuk dinaiktaraf  ke kedudukan universiti pada masa tersebut. Isu2 telah dibangkit berulang kali sebelum pilihanraya diadakan untuk mendapatkan sokongan rakyat tetapi berkecenderungan dilupakan selepasnya.Bersama ini dilampirkan dua salinan rencana yang dipaparkan di Nanyang Siang Pau pada 1989 yang menonjolkan bantahan saya agar Kolej TAR dan MARA tidak dinaiktaraf ke kedudukan universiti beserta dengan sebab2 yang sahih, bagaimana sistem pendidikan kita dilaksanakan dan asal-usul Kolej TAR dan MARA dimulakan. Walaupun berpanjang lebar bercakap tentang banyak keburukan menaiktaraf ke kedudukan universiti, wahal agenda politik diutamakan, tidak lama selepas itu dan sejurus sebelum pilihanraja diumumkan, bekas perdana menteri pada masa itu telah mengikrar INSTITUT TEKNOLOGI MARA (ITM) telah dinaiktaraf ke UNIVERSITI TEKNOLOGI MARA (UITM sebagai ganti UTM, pada sangkaan saya, singkatan ini telah diambil oleh Universiti Teknologi Malaysia pada masa itu ).  Kebanyakan pelajar TARC adalah "hasil sampingan" dan mangsa di mana mereka "tiada berkeistimewaan" untuk memasuki  universiti tempatan kerana sistem "quota" yang berlandaskan perkauman dan sanggup mengadaikan kualiti pendidikan. Mereka merupakan katagori manusia yang tidak mampu melanjutkan pelajaran ke luar negara dan "ditendang keluar" dari universiti tempatan walaupun keputusan peperiksaannya jauh lebih baik daripada kaum lain. Bagi Cina yang lebih pintar daripada masyarakat pintar yang "bernasib baik" kebanyakan dimasukan ke matapelajaran sains dan sastera tulin atau fakulti yang tidak popular. Akibatnya, kita telah menghasilkan kebanyakan graduan2 yang tidak berkeupayan dipasarkan, berfikiran perkauman, tidak yakin diri, menganggur, akhirnya bekerja dalam sektor kerajaan.  Lantaran itu, kita begitu "bangga" di atas senarai  antara negara yang mempunyai nisbah yang paling tinggi di dunia dari segi bilangan kakitangan awam berbanding dengan populasi negara.

CARTOON IN INTERNET: WAY TO CURE BLACK SPOT

There is former politicus who wanted to cure his black spot on his body before he has to report in afterlife. He asked around should there be any treatment, eventually found someone talented to give brilliant idea. True enough, that way really effective, black spot was disappeared but he has to pay for the price.....

Ada bekas politikus teringin sangat bintik hitam di atas badannya dapat diubati sebelum dia dilapurkan di akhirat. Lalu dia pun menanya merata-rata sekira ada sebarang perubatannya, akhir sekali ada seorang cerdikiawan memberi ikhthiar yang pintar. Cukup benar, caranya sungguh mujarab, bintik hitamnya telah hilang tetapi dia menerima padahnya....

CARTOON IN INTERNET :HIGH TUNED POLITICAL

 Resently,the head of the party which is representing Chinese etnic ardently expressed in frequent term thier intention to practice political will more loudly without fear whereby it could deliver the wishes of the Chinese community and discard the arrogant attitude of the party which is leading BN. Supposingly, thier head who cann't read Chinese langguage did not read my comment that has been published in Nanyang Siang Pau just after MCA election. It is my wish that his counterpart in the party could translate the content of the article to him for the sake of the party in order they will not proud of with this political concept anymore. What was happen to thier former head of the party who is advocated speak out without fear? Strangely, whoever does not obtain the blessing from the party which is leading BN always has short life span. What's more the head whom can not read Chinese language would be able to know the wishes of Chinese community in depth. Furthermore, he has black spot which can be threaten by other party in BN. Just like Chinese proverb says: " As Buddha who made of mud sails across a river --- Cann't take care of himself". Hence, it is doubtful that he can take care of Chinese community. Worse still, thier power in the party has been declined since then in term of  minister position in the ministery cabinet, ratio of the minister position decreased and important minister position such as financial and commercial minister etc changed hand.  Deputy minister position held by them was subdivided into deputy 1 and 2 which can be subsitituted each other. Could you believe that the party which cann't fight for thier own right can fight the right for other? Think it over, why we have been independent for more than 50 years still facing with the problem of unity among racial? Will it be something to do with the policy of divide and role, be it purposely or otherwise? Just like a baby who grown up suddenly, wake up drastically to practice ONE MALAYSIA. Those who are so arrogant to show off thier knife as if to threnten other racial suddenly became so humble and polite. Wasn't it the people's power and by-product after the recent 308 general election? Other country who has been governing by only one party for decades became too powerful and corruption happen so frequently until  became so arrogant and tend to forget the interest of thier people end up with the rebellion should be the lesson to all of us. In short, legendary story such as Sinderela with happy ending could only be found in the children story book. If not the power of the people, who else?

Baru-baru ini, ketua parti yang mewakili kaum Cina sering berkobar-kobar meluahkan hasratnya mengamalkan politik yang berani dan lantang bersuara agar dapat menyampaikan kehendak masyarakat Cina dan menyekat sikap yang sombong dan angkuh parti yang menerajui BN. Agaknya, ketuanya yang tidak dapat membaca Bahasa Cina tersebut tidak membaca ulasan saya yang dipaparkan di Nanyang Siang Pau sejurus selepas pilihan MCA diadakan. Harapan saya agar rakan seperjuangannya dapat menterjemah isikandungannya kepada beliau demi kebaikan parti supaya tidak lagi bermegah-megah dengan konsep politik tersebut. Apa akibat bekas ketua yang melancarkan keberaniannya bersuara sebelum ini? Anihnya, sesiapa yang tidak dapat restu daripada parti yang menerajui BN senantiasa pendek usianya. Apatah lagi ketua yang tidak dapat membaca Bahasa Cina dapat mengetahui kehendak masyarakat Cina dengan lebih mendalam. Tambahan lagi, beliau mempunyai bintik hitam yang boleh dijadikan ugutan parti lain dalam BN. Seperti bak kata perpatah Cina yang berbunyi : "Bagaikan Buddha yang diperbuat daripada tanah menyeberangi sungai---Tidak dapat menjaga diri"; maka, adalah menjadi keraguan bahawa beliau dapat membela nasib masyarakat Cina. Malah kuasanya dalam BN telah meruncing sekiranya diimbas kembali dengan jawatan menterinya di dalam jemaah menteri yang dipegangnya dalam parti, nisbah menterinya semakin berkurangan dan menteri yang berperanan penting seperti Menteri kewangan dan perdagangan dsb dijatuh ke tangan orang lain, timbalan menterinya yang dijawatnya pula dipecah bahagi kepada timabalan 1 dan 2 yang dapat saling diganti, percayakah anda parti yang tidak dapat membela nasibnya sendiri dapat membela nasib masyarakatnya? Fikir-fikirkanlah, mengapa selama lebih daripada 50 tahun kita merdeka, masih kita berhadapan dengan masalah perpaduan antara kaum? Adalah ia bersangkut paut dengan dasar pecah dan perintah, mahupun sengaja ataupun tidak? Bagaikan bayi yang membesar  dengan tiba-tiba, sedar secara mendadak mengamalkan konsep SATU MALAYSIA. Mereka yang begitu sombong dan angkuh menonjolkan kerisnya bagaikan mengugut kaum lain tiba-tiba menjadi begitu sopan dan segan pilu. Bukankah semua ini adalah kuasa rakyat dan hasil sampingan pilihanraya  308 baru-baru ini. Negara lain yang diterajui oleh satu parti sahaja berdekad-dekad lamanya terlalu berkuasa dan kerap berlaku rasuah sehingga menjadi begitu angkuh lalu melupakan kepentigan rakyatnya akhirnya berlaku pemberontakan seharusnya dijadikan iktibar kita bersama. Pendek kata, cerita donggeng seperti Sinderela akhirnya mendapat kebahagiaannya hanya dapat dikecapi dalam buku cerita kanak-kanak. Kalau bukan kuasa rakyat, siapa lagi?

CARTOON REVIEW : Turn it to racial issue

This cartoon was published in Public News on 21/09/87 depicted how the politicus turn public interests issue to become racial issue to make it so sensitive and vulnerable to discuss openly, otherwise you will be labelled as "racial extremist", failing which, to the extend you could be charged under ISA which means jailed without prior fair judgement. This is the common tactic used by politicus just to cover up thier wrong-doing, such as what was happen in the cases such as Bank Bumiputra scandal, Chinese coorporation conspiracy, New Economy Policy etc.

Kartun ini dipaparkan di Berita Awam pada 21/09/87 menonjolkan bagaimana politikus memutar isu yang berkepentingan awam  menjadi isu perkauman sehingga ia menjadi begitu sensitif dan sukar dibincangkan secara terbuka, kalau tidak kamu akan ditandakan sebagai "pelampau kaum", kegagalan berlaku sedemikian, pada tahap kebarangkalian kamu akan didakwa di bawah ISA di mana ia bermaksud dipenjarakan  tanpa penghakiman terlebih dahulu. Ini adalah taktik yang kerap digunapakai oleh politikus sekadar memperlindungi salah laku mereka, sepertimana apa yang berlaku dalam kes-kes seumpama skandal Bank Bumiputr, komplot koperasi Cina, Dasar Ekonomi Baru dsbnya

Chinese version is self-explanatory.
