Unlocking the Interlok

i just stumbled upon hearing the news on how our politicians have discussed and decided on the whole issues. silly old mew!

i'm a no fan of deep literature readings, especially my mother-tounge's. i enjoy reading, but not much of those written by A Samad Said, Usman Awang or even Abdullah Hussain who turned famous over his Interlok book.
the government has decided that the piece of literature of Abdullah Hussain to remain as part of the syllabus for the Form 5.. however, they'll be amendment to remove the word "Pariah" that supposedly an insult to the indians!

i did not really follow and care much about the current issues back here. somehow, our politicians are very good in politicking every single issues!

i read Oliver Twist for English Lit when I was in Form 1. if I were an orphan, i would strongly fight for my fellow orphanage for allowing Oliver Twist to be read at school for students as early as thirteen years old. not all orphanage are bad and poor.

Ok, that maybe a bad example!

but what i'm trying to say; politicians, hands-off the literature la. And what make it even stupidier (if there's such word), how could they even authorized to decide to change (or amend as they claimed) what's in that piece of art? that is way off the limit. if they think the art is a piece of threat, might as well removed it rather than amend it. this is all so silly, and kudos to malaysian politicians for proving how stupid a leader can be! agreeing to amend even a single letter in that piece of literature shows the dumb a moron can be!

again, i'm no writer, apatah lagi a karyawan.. but, as i blog, and when somebody tried to argue about my writing, i know, for sure, i can write whatever i want to write, however i want it to be. nobody can give a damn instruction to say i'm in no position in voicing my mind out loud. and if you just couldn't understand what i was writing, don't ask me to help if you are illiterate! literature is meant to be intepret by oneself, just stop overanalysing!
