Persepolis ペルセポリス






"A girl has just been killed right next to me," the friend said. It had all happened quickly. A young woman, chatting on her mobile phone, had been shot in the chest. She faded before a doctor, who was on the scene, could do anything to help. – IranianToday.com

The conversation showed the incident which had happened one month ago. Every one of us had the chance to know about this case which even though happened far from Malaysia.

This animation making me think of an incident happened in Malaysia recently. Maybe some of us know about the case of Zhao MingFu in Malaysia. He is a DAP party. And he got treated badly while he got into custody. End up a inspired young adult was dead in a ridiculous reason during his custody. Lots of things we know and kept it secretly such as Malaysian politic issue. Many of us know what happen, but we could not do anything besides demonstrate.

People are the foundation of the country, don't you think so? But there were happened most of the times, people (resident of the country) are treated badly or exploited in term of freedom expression. From the case of Zhao MingFu in Malaysia to the case of Neda in Iran, the conclusion is they are both patriotic people in each country. But, most of the time, they will not end up with a good ending. And I can guarantee you this is not a new thing.

I was always thinking. We are supposed to be in a very beautiful and safe country if those incidents are in minor. You can see how Malaysia the country is? We live in no severe human war; we live in no natural disasters too. You may complain about the damned weather and the slow-paced working process to get an visa (this is what I encountered right now, hehe :-) Everything will be fine.

Learn to think critically. It is the objective of this Alternative Voices. Sometimes, we need to see alternatively and think alternatively. I believed every issue has 2 sides. Not only looking into the mainstream ideas, but also we have to study and understand the alternatives.
