Merdeka: Past Anti-Colonial Heroes Forgotten



In secondary propagandize you have been used to be taught to know a whose-who of a anti-British colonial heroes who have fought to free their states from colonialism.

Notable total which you would encounter during a history lessons include:

Tok Janggut.- Datuk Bahaman. - Mat Indera - Datuk Maharajalela - Dol Said - Mat Kilau as well as you can name a few some-more if you wish to add to a list.

Every year you applaud Merdeka upon 31 August. But it seems which a amount people display support towards it seems dwindling year to year. Despite a benefaction government's call of raising flags everywhere, not most people seem to do that.

Everywhere you go as well as see Merdeka banners as well as so forth, it mostly shows a pictures of a Prime Ministers from Tunku up to Najib right now?

What about those people, those who shaped a events which have been pre-cursor towards a 1957 independence?

Those freedom fighters above fought opposite a English colonial system in Malaya. What motivates them is a sanctification of their competition during stake. Another reason is since of a absurd series of taxes which milks them of their hard warranted resources which they done during which time.

That's because people similar to Tok Janggut or Mat Kilau fought opposite a English during which time. And you don't even see their faces / caricatures nor their names everywhere right now. Instead you only see faces of Onn Jaafar all a approach to Najib Razak as well as only BN everywhere.

Have seen any of those freedom fighters whenever you set feet in to a city during all? None whatsoever.

Some think BN is! godsend - handed over by a colonial English to only a single party to run a republic forever. That is already violation a suggestion of democracy. Independence in Malaysia discordant to what is claimed was achieved around bloodshed. There have been left-wing organizations which have fought for autonomy together with AMPAJA, PUTERA, API as well as alternative organizations. Yet, until today, they were sidelined, not famous for their contributions towards republic building.

Instead, these organizations were spoken bootleg by following a aftermath of Malayan Union as well as banned, with a leaders either fled to Indonesia / Thailand or arrested as well as jailed.

The sad thing is which these past people were never famous nor appreciated. Instead, you were showed to only 5 total around these most years.

If together with these people in to there, during least people will begin to know some-more of those since a 19th century which have fought opposite a English in Tanah Melayu. we consternation either should Pakatan takes over a country will they see a neccessity to commend a unsung heroes or just go on to omit them during their own peril.

The alternative reason not most people have been penetrating to applaud Merdeka is a extreme amount of propaganda material. These kind of materials have been broadcasted roughly three prong around print media, video projection, as well as radio as well. As what I've pronounced just now, it merely drills a indicate which only a single organization - United Malays National Organization is a godsend from a English which everybody must commend a total in a organization - not even a anti-colonial heroes.

If these unsung anti-colonial heroes have been not famous around remembering them for independence, then what is a indicate of having to sense those people in History classes behind in propagandize then? Doesn't it have sens! e right?

Take a look during a American Independence. Every distinguished figures, in addition to George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Paul Revere or etc..have played large or small though vital roles in a American Revolution opposite a English. Even if it's already 236 years since July 4 1776, they have been still remembered today.

It's those which have been sidelined which being put in to question.
