(Most) Malaysians Need Help

Not sure if any of you have watched a recent YouTube sensation called Rebecca Black with her adorable song "Friday" (video below) but I find it entertaining. I don't have any ears for music of whatsoever but I can tell she is not the best singer or has the 'talent' to carry a tune. But, people loved it. She must be doing something right. On the other hand, Kok Hong showed me a video of a local girl singing a song about "Welcome To Malaysia". (video below)

First of all, I just need to clear the air, the very moment I am blogging this, I still considered myself as a Malaysian (its hard to believe but I am telling the whole world I am from Malaysia, out loud!) I find it disgusting, that what people wrote to the poor girl video. Does she suck? Yes, big time. Is she degrading Malaysia? I don't think so. You see, if she is the only thing people can relate to Malaysia, well, I guess the problem is not her already right?

Well it doesn't come to surprise that most haters are posting negative comments simply because, she is not a Chinese/ she can't speak proper english/ she has indon slang (WTF?!)/ she is not as pretty as Rebecca Black (LAME)/ she dreamt TOO BIG (was there ever a dream too small? IDIOT!)/ etc etc. DAMN. Hating for all the wrong reasons.

So what if you are Malaysian Chinese. Are you smarter? If yes, what are you doing now to help improve the country? Complaining about everything and call every Malays you meet on the street pigs? Or saying Malays being racist? Why is your leader not doing anything to fix things? Doesn't that make him an idiot too? And you guys are idiots to vote for him at the first place? Oh, and not to forget that 'genius' who keeps writing songs about our government and doing some 'inspiring' shorts, did he contribute anything to the society besides rising chaos within? And you guys still buy whatever shit he sells.

So what if she can't speak proper english? That might not be her fault. Do you think she had the 'high education' level same like you did? If she had, do you think she's gonna be doing the video at all? She might ended up being like one of you who claimed to have the perfect grammar error free fluent english and still talk like .. I don't know, I am not in a position to judge. You can have all your bombastic words in your 500 pages of speech but at the end of the day, you might just be practicing to yourself in front of the mirror. Or show off to your friends once in awhile when you have 'foreigner visitors'. Not sure to you, but that kinda sounds like a loser to me.

She dreamt too big. Wow. She doesn't has the face in the field. If that's the case, what the fuck is Steven Tyler and Susan Boyle doing in the showbiz. For those who don't know who they are, shame on you. Or maybe, your dream is that big it can only content yourself and your delusional future that might not even come. Nuff said.

So back to Rebecca Black. To me, they are the same thing. So why is Rebecca Black a trending topic on Twitter for the entire week and Rosalinda is getting (still counting) all these backlashes from all you beloved Malaysians? People should really take funny and mean the right way.

This is the sad thing. I am really proud of being a Malaysian. I love our inside jokes but sometimes I think there should be a limit of what you say to others. No matter how much I complained about our country (not gonna stop) but I still hold hopes because I know, out there, there are people like me (hopefully) who is civilized enough to be witty and talk shits at the right time instead. That being said, I think I am smarter than you, I'm sorry, just a fact check.
