  17. A Rethink • …. To review or recheck • ….. To re-evaluate • ….. To measure the performance or current achievement

  18. The Questions • Are we “merdeka” when we still hope others will help/assist us when we fall down? • Are we “merdeka” when we ask someone to do our work? • Are we “merdeka” when we still practice the bad culture that was founded by people from the developed nations? • Are we “merdeka” when we need to enforce the laws that was created by our colonists?

  19. Are we “merdeka” when we fail to understand and respect the rights of others? • Are we “merdeka” when we still implement the administration system that was founded and propagated by colonist or western countries? • Are we “merdeka” when we still apply the broken systems and values in our lives because these systems and values were founded by developed countries? • Are we “merdeka” when we need to get the support from IMF in order to develop our country? • Are we “merdeka” when we need to import the advanced technologies from other countries in ensuring the enhancement of our productivity?

  20. Are we “merdeka” when our teenagers throw out the babies like a rubbishes? • Are we “merdeka” when our children have less respect to their parents? • Are we “merdeka” when we say it is alright for Israel to attack Palestine and just chalk up the massacres of innocents to Collateral Damage? • Are we “merdeka” when we regards the United States as the “World Police”? • Are we “merdeka” when we equate Muslims to terrorists?

  21. “Merdeka” is not about to get “release” from the others, but it is about how you turn yourself, your family, your community and your country from any factor/situation/action that show you are still controlled by them. • Although your got “merdeka” from colonist, but it is useless if your mind and spirit always hope to get subsidies. • The real “merdeka” only can be felt when we successfully implemented what that has been asked by our Almighty God.
