192 Comments OPEN HOUSES chedet.co.cc September 29, 2009 By Dr. Mahathir Mohamad 1. I don't know whether we should copyright open houses but they are certainly a Malaysian invention. 2. I was gratified to see everyone, Malays, Chinese and Indians congregating at open houses during Hari Raya. They all seem to get along fine with each other. The Malays, Chinese, Indians, Sabahans and Sarawakians all seem to behave like true Malaysians, greeting the Malays with "Selamat Hari Raya" and being thanked by the Malays. Even little Chinese and Indian children were taught by their parents to shake hands and try to say Selamat Hari Raya. 3. It makes we wonder whether the country would not be better off if we don't have politicians. Of course I am one. But it does seem that it is the politicians who keep on stoking the fires of racism. Left to themselves the people would accept the way of life that has kept Malaysia almost conflict free all these years. 4. Malaysia has different schools for different races. They also live in racial ghettoes, speaking their own languages and promoting their own cultures. Few have friends not from their language groups. They really never get a chance to truly mix with each other. We are truly different from Thailand or Indonesia or the Philippines or indeed any other country in the world. 5. But the religious or racial festivals are celebrated together. We had four days to be together for the Raya. And the open houses would continue for at least one month, giving us a chance to forget racial politics and be just Malaysians. Even leaders of the opposition parties went to the Prime Minister's residence. 6. Maybe we should have continuous festivals throughout the year. Then we would come together the whole year long to celebrate and get to know each other. Maybe then we would be able to create a bangsa Malaysia. 7. Selamat hari Raya, Kong Hee Fatt Choy, Happy Deepavali and Merry Christmas to everyone. 192 Comments By foongAuthor Profile Page on November 11, 2009 10:45 PM just came back from a Taiwan Tour, brought my youngest daughter who is only 9 years old. We wentfor5 days only. we enjoyed ourselves there. The moment we stepped on Malaysia ground, at the airport , suddenly my daughter popped out" oh! it's so nice to come back to our own country!' I was stunned ! from a 9 year old girl !! What does this show? There is nothing about races in her mind, all she knows is Malaysia is my country,this is the place i was born and it is nice to be back in our own country . Why the fuss about Malay, Chinese,or Indian ? Why the fuss about SK, SJK(C), SJK(T)? I agree with Tun Mahathir about politician creating all these racism stories. but don forget,Tun is also a politician, Tun also raised this issue for umpteen times in local newspapers !!! Another story i want to share... My daughter went to study in a matriculation college in Tangkak. Her room mates were two malay girls. when she filled in some forms, in the space for bumiputras, she wrote hers as non bumiputras. Her room mate seemed puzzled and made a comment such as this "di manakah jun dilahirkan ? bukankah Jun dilahirkan di Malaysia ? Jikalau Jun dilahirkan di Malaysia, mengapakah Jun bukan dianggap bumiputras?" My daughter didn't know how to answer her ? My son commented once to me, why you adult all are so racist ? most of his rock climbing friends are Malays, he sleeps with them, cheers with them and speaks like them. that shows what ? only adults recognise races, children don't, but adults influence them and slowly children also become racist, and the whole malaysia has Malays, Chinese and Indians. Where is 1 Malaysia !!! By mastersifuAuthor Profile Page on October 29, 2009 3:56 AM salam seribu salam Tun... Thn lepas,sempat saya dan keluarga berkunjung ke rumah terbuka Tun,dapat sampaikan salam utk Tun dan Tun Sri,anak saya sempat bergambar dgn Tun lagi,terima kasih.. Terbaca beberapa isu yg agak sensitif di sini,saya serendah2 diri ingin bagi sedikit pendapat,harap Tun izinkan. Chinese blogger disini byk menitik beratkan perkara yg kebanyakan masyarakat cina rasa kurang selesa,more to education actually.. malay blogger akan defence terutamanya hak kesultanan dan hak melayu yg telah dicatik dlm perlembagaan negara.. ok,saya cina,wife melayu,i always call my son,"CINAPUTRA" !!! what to u think i will comment? Anak2 saya semua sekolah cina,tetapi di SEKALAH WAWASAN ! (satu2nya sekolah idea Tun yg tidak dapat langsung sambutan dari masyarakat cina..) It's a wonderful school,beautiful study environment,see all races jumping around at the field and canteen.. One day i was at the school,one indian boy on the way to canteen, fell down,2 chinese boy and 1 malay boy helped him out.. Peristiwa sebegini bukan hanya dapat dlm iklan Yasmin saja malah dimana2.. Sesiapa melayu yg kalau erti baca surat khabar cina,pasti akan bengang sebab byk isi kandungannya berunsur perkauman kononnya mempertahankan hak org cina,kononnya lah.. Dan sama sekali cina yg baca akhbar melayu utama juga rasa sebegini sama sekali kerana tak habis2 juga ada artikal atau forum yg amat tidak menyenangkan duk menyuarakan perkara racist yg tak berasas juga.. Kesimpulannya adalah,seperti ADAM yg membahaskan perkara2 ditimbulkan one of the blogger,amat mederate sekali,syabas adam ! Adam tidak menggunakan bahasa2 yg kurang menyenangkan tetapi fakta2 yg menyokong pendiriannya,of course salah betul ada juga yg masih perlu dikaji. Saya yg asalnya sekolah cina,kecit2 dididik ajaran bahasa classic confucious dari mendiang bapa saya yg berasal dari CHINA, bersajak berpuisi cina,tulis dakwat cina,boleh ckp dlm manderin,hakka,cantonese,hokkien,teohchiew..rasa2nya boleh layak ajar sekolah menengah lagi kalau kata bahasa cina saya lah,(maaf bukan tunjuk pandai tetapi tunjuk fakta,.) tetapi saya dari sekolah menengah bila campur melayu,saya cakap bahasa malaysia,lorat negori,sekarang tengah belajar kecet kelateh lagi.. (sorry,i speak tamil too..) kesimpulannya,ramai cina di negara kita,put aside those yg tua2 tak sempat atau tak berpeluang belajar BM,mengurungkan diri mereka dari bercampur dgn kaum lain,tu yg kekadang bila dgr some MP bercakap BM,aduuuuuiiiiiiiii..itu MP,what about others? SRKC sudah tertakluk dlm perlembagaan negara,saya percaya kerajaan sekarang dah 50 thn merdeka,cukup matang utk tidak buat perkara yg seperti hapuskan SRKC,hapus tokong hapus kuil tu semua.. Cuma kita kena faham dasar kerajaan kenapa tidak buka lagi sekolah cina yg selama ini didebatkan bertahun2,kenapa? Kerajaan walaupun tidak menghalang sekolah cina,tetapi tidak lah sampai bina banyak2 sekolah cina utk menggalakkan pulak.. The fact is,u can not deny the facts that chinese who go to chinese school,many of them,(i don't say all) when grow up,they mix amongst themselves,tu yg perpaduan yg didebatkan tu jadi tanda tanya.. Sama sekali org melayu tidak boleh kata cina conquer ekonomi,dah cina tu bangsa yg pandai niaga,nak marah macam mana..? Ada juga org melayu yg hebat berniaga sampai kaya raya,cuma majority tu teramat kurang saja, NEP is a very good policy,it balance out the rich and poor between races,poor things are those idiots who benefited,conquered the cakes and let other malays watching.. Perpaduan antara kaum bermula dari sekolah,terutamanya sekolah menengah. i strongly support the WAWASAN SCHOOL BE ON AGAIN,thats perpaduan,thAt is ONE MALAYSIA !!! SALAM UTK TUN DAN KELUARGA... By InSisAuthor Profile Page on October 15, 2009 12:36 PM Saya agak menyampah nak pergi open house orang UMNO. Ada beberapa sebab saya turunkan seperti dibawah: 1. Mereka akan tunjukkan kekayaan/kemewahan mereka seperti pakaian, kereta (Brabus dll), cara mereka melayan kita macam nak tak nak aje, tunjuk rumah besar dengan perabut mewah. Isteri dan keluarga mereka tunjuk ketul2 emas. Pendekkan cerita..berlagak. 2. VIP-VIP UMNO tunjuk lagak tak seperti sebelum mereka pegang jawatan dulu sama-sama lepak. Ini yang rakyat perhatikan. Tunggu PRU mereka akan terjemahkan feeling dan sokongan mereka. 3. Nak jumpa VIP-VIP UMNO punyalah susah. Mereka dikelilingi oleh "gate-keepers" mereka. Kekadang tunggu berjam2 atau berhari2 atau kekala 2/3 bulan. Sape2 nak marah saya marahlah. Ini kenyataan. Wassallam. By AdamAuthor Profile Page on October 15, 2009 9:26 AM Dear sitirend, That is quite an ignorant phrases coming out from you. Religious men must only be at mosque? Saints? Prophets ? Better to be unspoken Atheist? By saying that you could already be revoking your faith towards the religion. There can be no total 'unification' as you have said, there would always be opposition and the ruling parties. This is why it is called DEMOCRACY. Too obvious that you do not understand democracy, what if unified? Totalitarian? Autokratik? Monarchy? By sitrendAuthor Profile Page on October 14, 2009 12:35 AM As I can see, you can view LIFE in a different view after your retirement. Often a problem or conflict can appear different when the person gets out of the box or cocoon. Politicians are ambitious people. Some masquerade as Spiritual but look at the during election campaigns, My God.....even Devil will not behave like that. Religion is just a front.These people cannot be religious, they are simply lost in their own world. They are just 101% politicians.A true Spiritual man cannot be ambitious. History of Saints,Prophets and Enlightened Masters will prove so. While we call an ordinary politician as a "Wolf in Sheep's clothing", the so-called religious politician is a "Wolf in Wolf's clothing".

  • Enhancing Critical Thinking of Undergraduate Thai Students Through Dialogic Inquiry Maliwan Buranapatana
    Enhancing Critical Thinking of Undergraduate Thai Students through Dialogic Inquiry Maliwan Buranapatana A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Languages, International Studies and Tourism The University of Canberra, Australia March 2006 ii iii Abstract This thesis sets for itself the task of testing the viability of a dialogic model of learning as a methodology for teaching critical thinking in reading and writing to undergraduate students of Thai in Thailand. To this end, we conducted an experiment involving twenty-one undergraduate students of Thai at KhonKaen University, Thailand. This study presents the intellectual background of the pedagogic framework supporting the experiment and a discussion of its outcomes. The assessment of the results of the experiment focuses on the forms of evidence resulting directly from this pedagogic framework. The study concludes with a number of considerations for future research in critical thinking which our project helped us to identify. For the purpose of our work, we adopt the model of dialogic learning which involves students in looking for perspectives enabling them to challenge, and as a result to enhance, the relevance of the understandings in which they frame their interactions. The process is dialogic because it involves students in working with different points of view by identifying challenging perspectives, constructing conflicting arguments and exploring the strategic potential that the interaction of these arguments may have on the students’ initial assumptions. In this sense, the concept of dialogue that we use refers to the methodology of students’ inquiry (learning), rather than a specific form of linguistic genre.

  • Thai Cinema As National Cinema
    Thai Cinema as National Cinema: An Evaluative History Patsorn Sungsri This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2004 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary educational institution ……………………………………………………… Abstract This dissertation considers Thai cinema as a national text. It portrays and analyses Thai film from the introduction of cinema to Thailand during the reign of King Chulalongkorn (1868-1910) up until the present day (2004). At its core, this thesis adopts the ideas of Higson, O’Regan and Dissanayake in considering the cultural negotiation of cinema and the construction of nation. In this study of Thai National Cinema two principal methods are employed—economic and text-based. In terms of political economy Thai National Cinema is explored through the historical development of the local film industry, the impact of imported cinema, taxation, censorship and government policy, and the interplay between vertically and horizontally integrated media businesses. Special attention is paid to the evolving and dynamic role of the ruling class in the local film industry. The dissertation’s text-based analyses concern the social and ideological contexts of these national productions in order to consider extant characteristics of Thai nationhood and how these are either reflected or problematised in Thai Cinema. Of particular relevance is this dissertation’s emphasis on three resilient and potent signifiers of Thai identity—nation, religion, and monarchy—and their interrelationship and influence in the development of Thai National Cinema.

  • Narong Prangcharoen and Thai Cross-Cultural Fusion in Contemporary Composition
    NARONG PRANGCHAROEN AND THAI CROSS-CULTURAL FUSION IN CONTEMPORARY COMPOSITION A THESIS IN Musicology Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF MUSIC by NATHINEE CHUCHERDWATANASAK B.A.(Music), Mahidol University, 2007 M.M., Eastern Michigan University, 2009 Kansas City, Missouri 2014 NARONG PRANGCHAROEN AND THAI CROSS-CULTURAL FUSION IN CONTEMPORARY COMPOSITION Nathinee Chucherdwatanasak, Candidate for Master of Music Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2014 ABSTRACT Narong Prangcharoen (b.1973) has become one of the leading Asian classical composers since he won a number of international awards and received numerous commissions from major orchestras and individual distinguished musicians. His compositions, most of which include distinct Thai musical elements and Thai cultural influences within the guise of Western art music, are emblematic of a trend in contemporary composition that embraces worldwide influences. This thesis is a first step toward the literature of this compositional trend of Thai/Western musical fusion. It begins with a survey to different approaches of applying exotic elements into Western compositions, focusing on the fusion of Western and Far Eastern musical/non-musical elements of China and Indonesia. The focus then shifts to the cross-cultural interplay between Thai and Western elements that has appeared throughout Thai music history. The main topic of thesis ensues, with the presentation of Prangcharoen’s musical background, his creative process, and his synthesis of Thai influences and Western compositional techniques in his orchestral music. The purpose of this thesis is to be not only a principal source in iii apprehending Prangcharoen’s life and works, but also a foundation for any future study relating to Prangcharoen or other Thai composers and their compositions.

  • Contrasting Thai Lèse Majesté Law with United States First Amendment Freedoms
    SHOUT FOR FREEDOM TO CURSE AT THE KINGDOM: CONTRASTING THAI LÈSE MAJESTÉ LAW WITH UNITED STATES FIRST AMENDMENT FREEDOMS Sukrat Baber* I. INTRODUCTION A. Thai Lèse-majesté Law Lèse-majesté (or lese majesty) laws prohibit insults, defamation, and criticism towards royal sovereigns of States.1 In an age of rising transparency and fight for democracy, these laws are seldom enforced and seem to be disappearing in countries where they exist.2 However, Thailand’s lèse majesté laws, more than 100 years after their implementation,3 are still strongly enforced—more than 400 cases came to trial between 2006 and 2011.4 To avoid reprimand, citizens must at all times be wary of their public or even private discussions and published works relating to Thailand’s royalty. One need not look further than the codified law to understand the length and strength of its reach: Section 112 of the Thai Criminal Code states, “Whoever, defames, insults or threatens the King, the Queen, the Heir-apparent or the Regent, shall be punished with imprisonment of three to fifteen years.”5 * Sukrat Baber is a 2014 J.D. graduate of Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law. Mr. Baber was inspired to write about this topic after he arrived in Thailand for an internship in the summer of 2012, and was advised that he was better off not speaking about the Thai king at all because almost any comment could be construed as insulting the revered king and cause social or legal issues. 1.

  • CERS Working Paper KUANSONG ZHUANG 1
    CERS Working Paper KUANSONG ZHUANG To race or not to race? – The (De)Racialisation of the Thai in History1 The identity belonging to the people of a nation… it is ascribed to oneself at birth. Thainess for the most part arises together with Thai people. Being a Thai means having such and such feelings, having a certain character. No one can change these things. M.R. Kukrit Pramoj, Prime Minister of Thailand, 1975-1976 (Thongchai 1994, 5) Being Thai, as Kukrit notes, assumes a form of identity linked to particular characteristics. As a speaker of the Thai language myself, I have been mistaken to be Thai by many native Thais around the world, as long as I act in the proper Thai manner, i.e. posture, mannerisms, speech. In my personal interactions, it would appear that I have become Thai, even though I am a true blue Singaporean. Many a time, I was asked if I was Thai. After I had replied in the negative, the next common question asked, would be whether I had Thai blood, specifically if I had a Thai parent. Only after, would they ask if I was working in Thailand or had lived in Thailand for a long time. My personal experiences of being considered Thai, had thus led me to question why I had been treated as such. Why had I been considered as Thai, on the basis on my appearance, manners and speech? Why had I been considered to have Thai blood in my ancestry? This paper will try to explain what constitutes Thai-ness.
