Text of the page (random words):
relate to filial piety while the last three refer to how to respect one s body and one s goals each verse has exactly the same number notes using language and meter devices that are solely ryukyuan the english translation tells of the content of the verses but fails to convey the precision and the beauty of the song alas the best translations are metempsychoses sincerely malaysian heart posted by malaysian heart at 12 09 pm no comments labels empathy human values love okinawa ryukyu translation wisdom if you go to tanjung tuan beware the monkey last weekend i was in port dickson for the bagan pinang by election and had some free time on saturday afternoon having had enough of the campaigning antics of both sides for a while i decided to go to tanjung tuan also known as cape rachado for some peace and quiet it was not far from where the mafrel s operation centre was my mum used to tell us about the times when as a child she would visit the keramat at tanjung tuan with her family according to legend parameswara the founder of melaka is supposed to have been buried somewhere there in those days the only way to get there was by boat which would have to navigate past the dangerous whirlpool and turbulent waters off tanjung tuan which have claimed many lives of course nowadays one can get there easily by land just go south on the coast road to melaka and turn right at the junction just after si rusa which is clearly marked tanjung tuan and blue lagoon click for the google map opens in new window i parked near the ilham resort and entered the gates to the tanjung tuan recreational forest visitors have to sign in at the guardhouse before proceeding further from there i walked along a winding tarred road through the jungle right up to the lighthouse the tanjung tuan lighthouse is impossible to miss unfortunately it is off limits to all by order of the harbourmaster of melaka apparently tanjung tuan is under the jurisdiction of melaka not negeri sembilan from the front of the lighthouse there are paths leading down to the beach i chose to take the path leading to pulau intan the steep and uneven steps leading from the lighthouse down to the beach it took me about 25 minutes to get to the beach from the entrance the beach and view was well worth the trek not another human in sight just the sun the sea the wind and the sand i suppose pulau intan is only a pulau at high tide even though the shore was somewhat muddy not surprising given the mangroves nearby the water was clean definitely cleaner than the rest of pd and perfect for a leisurely dip however one needs to be careful of the rough rocks on the beach and under water as i was enjoying the cool water i saw that a monkey was calmly going through the contents of my knapsack as i rushed back to the rock where i had left it my simian friend decided that he needed my bag of toiletries and took off up a nearby tree with it if you happen to see a well groomed monkey with a dazzling smile in tanjung tuan you ll know which one it is what s a little toothpaste soap and a toothbrush between distant cousins especially since evolution day is just around the corner i wish that i had had something more nutritious to share from the beach the sumatran coast is visible just 38 kilometres away if bendera had wanted to attack peninsular malaysia by sea would this have been the nearest spot for them ships in the distance beyond this headland lies the beach opposite pulau masjid i really would have liked to have explored more especially the beach opposite pulau masjid the keramat tanjung tuan and hang tuah s footstep and well but they will have to wait for another trip because it was time to get back to the noisy world of humans there were the final ceramahs to attend that evening stay tuned for more stories from bagan pinang sincerely malaysian heart posted by malaysian heart at 9 09 am no comments labels bagan pinang beach holiday port dickson pulau intan tanjung tuan saturday october 10 2009 who i am and why i blog recently a young malaysian who is researching citizen journalism and citizen blogging in malaysia emailed me with some questions to answer after sending him her my reply i realised that what i wrote was a statement of why i blog and of who i am as a blogger i reproduce here his her questions and my responses to them as a statement of principles 1 what prompted you to start blogging social and political developments in malaysia march 8 2008 gave me a lot of hope that malaysia was on the right track as far as our social and political growth was concerned however by end of 2008 cracks began to appear in the pakatan rakyat coalition and umno bn began to make succesful attacks on the idea of a two party system and on multiracial and multireligious cooperation in malaysia these attacks were also made through their main strean media msm and bloggers often with dodgy evidence and very flimsy reasoning i felt that i could do something to counter them and to share with others my own opinions on how malaysia should go forward why is there a need to self publish before the advent of blogging there were few economical avenues for ordinary citizens to get their views heard letters to the editor in the msm or join or form an association and issue press statements again to the msm at the end of the day the msm and their owners decide if your views are worthy of publication and if your views are consistent with their agenda blogging allows me to avoid that censorship and to share my views quickly 2 how would you categorize or describe your blog is it a watchblog political blog community blog i blog about the importance of human rights freedom and justice in a democracy and i blog about whenever these are threatened the people and institutions whose actions i write about are politicians government msm and other bloggers so i guess that my blog is a socio political watchblog 3 who what are you sources of information 1 what i personally observe and record at the events i attend 2 tip offs from friends and sources which i verify first 3 news from other bloggers and msm 4 the internet do you read news and blog about it afterwards yes but only if it is pertaining to what i write about human rights freedom and justice in a democracy 4 what do you understand about citizen journalism as i understand it citizen journalism is ordinary citizens gathering news and presenting it along with their own views using technology to reach a wide audience imho it s a democratisation of news and views gathering and dissemination 5 do you think you are practicing citizen journalism would you consider yourself a citizen journalist yes and yes 6 what do you hope to achieve through blogging eg to create awareness among the public 1 persuade malaysians as to the importance of human rights freedom and justice in a democracy and of the principles and values that underly them 2 create awareness about the ways in which msm and other bloggers spin lie and abuse logic to create inter racial tension and fear for political purposes 3 motivate malaysians to work together for a better future for our country 7 how would you define malaysia s current mainstream media our msm is 100 owned by either political parties or corporate interests therefore the news they report reflects their owners need for political and pro corporate propaganda not malaysian s need for news and views on human rights freedom justice good governance transparency and democracy do you still believe in their news reporting no i always look for how they may be spinning the news in their interest so should everyone else 8 bloggers are sometimes misunderstood for spreading non objective bias commentaries what is your take on that there is no misunderstanding there there are bloggers who are very non objective indeed it may be questioned if true objectivity is even achievable the key is for 1 malaysians to be able to read everything critically and 2 for all media msm and bloggers to be transparent about what their position or slant is and what they are advocating i myself subscribe to the principles of advocacy journalism 9 are there topics news that you choose not to blog about no i believe that all topics that are in the citizens interest can and should be written about responsibly do you practice self censorship if you define self censorship as the act of censoring or classifying one s own work blog book s film s or other means of expression out of fear or deference to the sensibilities of others then my answer is no however i do subscribe to the society of professional journalists code of ethics and take pains to minimize harm ethical journalists treat sources subjects and colleagues as human beings deserving of respect i also choose to present my arguments in a way that i believe will be understood and accepted by my intended audience malaysians 10 some professional journalists do not approve citizen journalism because they believe that only trained journalists can write objectively and ethically what do you think looking at the way some professional journalists in malaysia write it s obvious that professional training is no assurance that a person will write objectively and ethically imho a citizen journalist can do just as well if not better because he she has no editor to report to as long as he she is committed to ethical and objective writing and takes the trouble to learn and practice it p s out of curiosity is there a reason to remain anonymous it would help me understand bloggers better i choose only to identify myself as malaysian because our current situation is one where people judge what one writes by one s religion age gender ethnicity socio economic status etc i would like my arguments to stand or fall on their own merits not my identity as an anonymous blogger i feel more motivated to research and provide evidence for whatever i write because being anonymous does not provide the automatic credibility or incredibility that some readers are content with i really hope that malaysians will achieve a stage of maturity where they can read and evaluate arguments for what they are and not be swayed by the name and the religion age gender ethnicity socio economic status of who is saying it sincerely malaysian heart posted by
