I Do Not Have a Hometown

It was the fresh day to start a well lesson of briefing about what about culture in Malaysia and it entertained in whole time.The fresh start with some word games, and I doesn't know it shows a lot impression word from everyone's mind when just talking elemen about Malaysia such like Malaysia's Art or Malaysia's Theather.I realized that we are living in different races and religion,different perspective to judge or view the society lifestyle no matter where is he or she living at.It's all start from either people's knowledge or critical thinking ,spreading to the media field and let the people view and judge the real world of Malaysia.
To recall back from my memory, the class was having a small discussion about our national anthem song.It was talking about how the musician Namewee composed an extraordinary culture product by using back the national anthem, writing the lyrics about the truth stories of Malaysia and share it.To comment this,I agreed that musician always has the right way to express through the song, it was no right or wrong way to comment or disipline musician's freedom thinking. However, he was accused by the politics and government because his lyrcis and overall the music video is using the insult way to express his song. But think critically, he doesn't want to insult about politics and government all the time.He also doesn't talked about any bad things on Indian people!Why does his lyrics only talked about bad things about Malay people but not talking about other races like Indian people?

He maybe just wanna be the opinion leader to stand out and singing the true color of Malaysia.As he still part of Malaysian ch]inese people, he just want to help all the countries people to sob out their difficulties or problems they had so that government can know what happened to the world in Malaysia.Until nowadays, although this culture product of national anthem song  was abandoned, but somehow the changes from the old generation to another generation, some of Malay people are argeed with his songs.It wasn't a big surprise because it was the truth and they believe that living the world, we still need a fair judgement or well-balanced living lifestyle for every single people in this country.
That's not the end of the story I want to say or to share.
In the end, lecturers asked us to talked about our hometown and I do not have a hometown because My hometown is in Kuala Lumpur.I born in urban city and still living in the city.Therefore, I just have an odinaty experience in my hometown but not all the time because I still have relatives' family to reunit and live in another special moments with them especially spending time more and visiting in my mother's family in Kepong.I experienced that Hakka people in Kepong always have the nice and heavy tasted food in there and Hakka people always like to care each other, but they also like to gossip about other people a lot.Overall is just have a well moment to experience and spend time with them.

The v ision of the Rukun Negara is for the realization of the social contract agreed upon by the major races and d octrine to achieve unity for the sake of harmony and prosperity since the reaction to the race riot of 13 May incident happened in Malaysia .  It was formulated and held by the national consultative council (NCC) Tunku Abdul Razak.
