Rohingya Revisited


I thought since my last post people of the world (UN, ASEAN, etc.) had already progressing against this apartheid schemes. Well, I know that in ASEAN apartheid is not just exclusive to Burma. It is a complicated story that was built upon years of bloodshed and political struggles.

Have a friend or two who work passionately in NGOs and you'll know what I mean. Or, you could be that one friend. I can't disclose any of those apartheid schemes here because it might impact their good works or the people within those government bodies that want to change things up.

Hate is a good tool to improve people's support. It plays well to sooth anxiety in people's heart.  Trump already prove that.

Everyone, including me, is a racist. I too once think of Indian with bad attitude. Their fast talk, their stinking body and how pushy they were to me made my anxiety. Along the way, I met many more good (and great) Indians. Now, I am not even ashamed learning from them.

Assholes are inclusive everywhere, no matter what the skin tone nor the languages.

According to many citizen of Burma stated in Quora, all of those Rohingya was a Bangladeshi. To make it worst, they weren't speaking national language nor singing national anthem. Because of their low education, they are prone to do bad things that in the end made the Burmanese anxious.

Like the article in Quora said, Burma has Kamein that predominantly Islam and living integrated and well in Burma. But, these Rohingya were sought as Bangladeshi illegal migrants. You know how even US feels about immigrants.

There is also a deep political bloodshed that happened in the past that made Burmanese felt deep hatred against them. Because of this also, they mistreated Rohingya people. Two had nurtured hatred over the years and you can't expect them to sit and having a couple cup of tea and everything is rainbow and unicorns.

So, what would be the answer?
  • Educate and naturalized Rohingya people to Burma?
  • Send them back?
Even though Dalai Lama had encourage Aung San Suu Kyi to help the Rohingya, she still reluctantly do so. Her party had the same feeling like the rest of the Burmanese. It would be a political suicide given she just got her freedom back. Besides, Dalai Lama is not the leader of the Buddhism that Burma people took.

Reconsiliation takes years.

Meanwhile, here's some read.

STAN vs. UI

Ugh, kasihan banget adek gue. Saking kepinteran dia jadi dapet Akuntansi UI dan STAN. Jadi bingung mau masuk yang mana. Beberapa orang (termasuk orang tua gue), menyarankan masuk STAN. Gue malah memperburuk suasana dengan membela memasuki Akuntansi UI, maklum bela almamater. Duh, gue jadi merasa bersalah bikin dia ragu-ragu. Kira-kira enakan masuk mana, yah? Gue juga gak tahu keuntungan masing-masing. Hasil debat sementara: ~ Untuk jangka panjang masuk UI, untuk jangka pendek STAN. ~~Tapi, dia itu kan cewek, ntar pas menikah kemungkinan besar karir terhambat. Eits, ntar, dulu, sekarang kan jamannya emansipasi, bisa aja cowoknya yang jadi BRT. ~ STAN sarang korupsi, kalo masuk STAN jadi pegawai negeri. Kalo mau kaya harus korupsi. Tapi kalo masuk UI, lulus masuk jadi akuntan publik. Sekarang ini, orang membayar akuntan publik untuk memanipulasi nilai pajak dan aset. *SIGH*. Jadi gak ada yang beres ~ dll. Yah, udah gue jadi bingung, apa lagi dia nanya saran gue. Buah, gue gak pengalaman ...

I Hate Marvel Civil War Storyline In Comic

See this snippets from The Amazing Spiderman: [1] http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/4625006.html The snippets on [1] made it clear: Stan Lee made Spidey have a strong believe in Privacy. The comic strips show how Spidey even have to face charges because of his anonymity. The accuser even made many accusation to other entities for political attacks. A fan-art/art I've found in the 90's illustrated Spiderman standing in front of Peter Parker tomb. I don't know if that was originally from comic book or fan-made, 90's are a long time ago. That art mesmerized me and introduced me to the importance of privacy. In late nineties, I was joined to a program hold by an NGO. So, at that time I know how crucial a privacy was (and still is) to humanity. I'm not exaggerating! Humanity would fall to big financial organizations if people could not voice their fears in anonymity. Whistleblowers around the world would not dare to come up. We would not see any suppression ge...
