Hello peeps!

Hi! I'm yinping ( Ice). After viewing everyone's blog, I have much more confidence to say that blogging will definitely bring our class to another level by learning from each other. Is a pretty good starting point. Cheers!

1st Lecture 9 June 2015 
It was the first class with Dr Carmen, Ms Edaline and Mr Kevin. To be honest, I don't think this subject will make any difference to me after this semester at first. But I changed my mind when we have such good lecturer and tutors (claps). Now, I'm so much excited to know more about our country. Thing becomes interesting when the whole class loves Malaysian Media& Culture. 

Do you identify as a Malaysian? Why?
Yes. I have my birth cert, identity card, license, passport and so on. 
I was born in Selangor, stay in Selangor.
I'm multilingual. Especially I can speak Malay (official language). 
I know our national anthem and national principles (Rukunegara) .
I know Malaysia culture which only Malaysian shared that kind of experiences. 

But, another the question comes: 
How do you prove that you're a Malaysian when u lost your identity card, passport....? 
Obviously, this question made me stunned for a minute because I've never experience it. 
To show you are a Malaysian, of course you have to be excel in speaking bahasa. 

Does it matter? 
Well I don't think it is a matter to me because I'm not that patriotic compared to the past. After read my friends' blog, on second thought--it does. Malaysian always have the human rights! For instance, the right to voice out, to vote, to have discount, to complain etc. 

If you are not a Malaysian, you will never understand this line:
Anei! you want to makan here or dabao?  
It contains four types of language. (Malay, English, Mandarin& Tamil) 

Proud to be a Malaysian.
