As we celebrate the 2nd. Anniversary of the March 8 2008 Political Tsunami that hit Malaysia two years ago, let us stand together in justice, equality, progress and a new freedom. A toast to the New Merdeka of Malaysia!
Hip Hip Hooray! Hip Hip Hooray! Hip Hip Hooray!
Pantun Rakyat Merdeka
By See Teik Guan
Tanah pasir gersang terbentang
Anak pertiwi mencangkul tulang
Merdeka apa yang sering dilaungkan?
Terlepas kongkongan, masuk cengkaman?
Bumi hijau warisan bonda
Bencana insan rakus melanda
Hilang begitu sekelip mata
Tangisan sedih kampung ke kota
Pendekar palsu barisan negara
Keris dijulang sorak membara
Tatkala benak akal kemarau
Sembunyi dibalik panji harimau
Bulan tiga subuh menjelang
Bulan lapan terang benderang
Suara rakyat melambung angkasa
Permatang diharungi wira perkasa
Apakah ini babak kedua
Hikayat bangsa negara Malaysia?
Bebas dan adil terserlah di muka
Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka! MERDEKA!!!
Commentary in English
1. The arid land lies far and wide before our eyes, despite the years of hard work and struggles of our forefathers and many generations after them. What then, is the meaning of Merdeka, if we still remain slaves after achieving freedom?
2. Our land was once rich and prosperous. But the greed of man turns out to be the greatest plunderer of our wealth. All our hard work has gone to waste in the blink of an eye and tears flow from the villages to the cities.
3. We are led by false warriors who scream and shout and raise their keris. And when their minds are devoid of plans and ideas, they cower behind the banner of the tiger.
4. In March this year (2008), we witnessed a new dawn. And in August, the sky is bright and sunny again. The people’s voices are heard throughout the nation as they cheer the new warrior’s success in crossing the ridge (permatang)
5. Does this mark the beginning of the second chapter of our nation’s history? The people’s faces are smiling with hope of a new freedom and justice for the country, as they shout Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka! MERDEKA!!!

Why is not the Blue Mansion shown in Penang? The first ever flim set in Penang is only shown in where else Kuala Lumpur.
Betelnut, can you please pressure the Penang operators to screen the flim? Or else we will buy only pirated DVD and boycott the cinemas until they close.
