Are you proud to be Malaysian?

Apparently not many ppl in Malaysia are proud to be Malaysian. So the government suggested that the cinemas play the national anthem before the movie starts....and everyone has to stand up....hmmm....i wonder will that suggestion actually help people be more patriotic or will people just take it as another stupid suggestion from one of the ministers who just wants to appear on tele so ppl will think he is doing some work in his office. I think most of the ppl will take it as the latter. This brings me back to my high school days. One observation that can be made on special days (like teachers day, sports day, etc) where the lower secondry ppl and the upper secondry ppl come together is....The lower secondry ppl always seem to sing the national anthem the loudest. The upper secondry ppl tend to just stand and "stone". It became so bad until the headmistress had to go up and scold everyone and we had to re-sing the national anthem until we were loud enough (as if the amplitude of out voice signals is proportional to our patriotism). After a while it gets kinda sick listening to the headmistress and prefects telling us...."Nyanyi kuat sikit". I guess the prefects are also sick of us telling them..."Sangat awal ler, mau tidur!!!"
Hmm..."BAHASA ASING"...another stupid rule in high school. U cant speak anyother language except malay,english, and mandarin( and also mebbe tamil) in school. I mean wut the crap rule is that. Even the teachers speak cantonese in the teachers room ( i know this coz i usually there to look for my father after school), lets not also forget the prefects who speak cantonese in thier prefects room. Everytime a prefect catches us speaking a foreign language, it cost 50 cents. I am quite certain this rule is the main income bringer for the prefectorial board...hmm...talk about corruption man. They collect all the fines and keeps them for themselves ( they do not give it to the school). At the end of the year the use all the money and give themselves a treat at some big hotel....idiots.
"BAHASA KASAR"...another rule that brings in alot of money for the prefectorial board.........F***ers....opps...if i was in school i would be fined 1 ringgit already.
Now i wonder how did my thoughts divert from Malaysia to stupid school rules...
