“Kamu budak Cina dan India jangan sombong. Jangan ingat kamu hebat dan pandai sangat. Rekod jenayah polis – yang merompak, yang membunuh semuanya Cina, yang menculik, yang rampas kereta semuanya India. Melayu – satu pun tak ada. Kamu jangan fikir kamu punya agama bagus sangat, ini Tanah Melayu, ingat baik-baik.”
Wahai Encik Roslan bin Abdul Shukor,
Begitulah bunyinya kata-kata cikgu sewaktu saya di Tingkatan Satu.
Cikgu mungkin lupa memandangkan insiden tersebut sudah begitu lama.
Namun, saya tidak.
Saya ingat, saya ingat dengan jelas sekali.
Begitukah kelakuan dan pemikiran seorang guru disiplin sekolah kebangsaan?
Begitukah cara cikgu mendidik dan membimbing budak-budak mentah?
Pernahkah cikgu berfikir tentang kesan dan ekoran kata-kata kamu yang begitu menghasut dan penuh kebencian?
Sebenarnya dan sememangnya jelas sekali, kamu sebenarnya tidak berminat untuk memantapkan sifat berdisiplin dalam sanubari pelajar-pelajar kamu.
Kamu hanya berminat untuk mematuhi arahan tuan kamu iaitu Pemuda UMNO.
Kamu hanya bertujuan untuk memastikan kami yang berkaum bukan Melayu akan senantiasa akur pada konsep dan bohong Ketuanan Melayu.
Itulah sebabnya kamu begitu jelasnya berat sebelah dalam keputusan dan tindakan kamu.
Namun, kamu bodoh dan rabun jauh.
Minta maaf la sekiranya kata-kata saya kurang sopan tetapi kebenaran tetap kebenaran.
Kamu tidak pernah berfikir dan mempertimbangkan kemungkinan pelajar-pelajar bukan Melayu yang dulunya diracuni propaganda UMNO kamu akan kembali menghantui kamu sebagai doktor pakar perubatan dan pembedahan.
Ya, cikgu – saya bukan dalam kejahilan.
Cikgu Roslan yang dulunya begitu sombong dan penuh perkauman kini diserang pelbagai masalah kesihatan.
Saya juga sedia maklum bahawa Cikgu Roslan tidak lama lagi perlu menjalani rawatan dialysis.
Jangan bimbang cikgu yang tersayang, saya sebagai doktor tetap akan memberikan rawatan yang sewajarnya.
Saya hanya berharap, sewaktu kamu terpasang ke mesin dialysis untuk empat jam tiga kali seminggu, kamu imbas semula kata-kata kamu yang penuh kebencian dan insaf dengan seikhlas-ikhlasnya.
Sebagai penganut Kristian, satu agama yang pernah kamu caci dengan sewenang-wenangnya, saya memaafkan segala kesalahan kamu, termasuklah semua perkataan dan tindakan kamu yang penuh kebencian kepada kaum dan agama saya.
Walau bagaimanapun, ingin saya luahkan isi hati saya yang mungkin terpendam dalam minda rakan-rakan saya di Tingkatan Satu dulunya itu.
PADAN MUKA, ENCIK ROSLAN.
PADAN MUKA KAMU.
Yang Ikhlas,
P.O.T.S
Translation:
“You Chinese and Indians, don’t be so cocky. Don’t think you are so great and brilliant. Police records show – armed robberies and murders are all committed by Chinese, kidnapping dan hijacking are all by Indians. Malays, not even a single one. Don’t think your religion is so great – this is Tanah Melayu – remember that.”
Dear Encik Roslan bin Abdul Shukor,
Those were your words back when I was in Form One.
You may have forgotten them since they were so long ago.
I have not, however.
I remember them well, very well in fact.
Are those the appropriate words of a disciplinary master in a national school?
Is that the way to teach and guide innocent children?
Have you ever thought about the consequences of your hate-filled words of slander?
Actually it is clear and obvious even then, you were never interested to enforce discipline among us students.
You were only concerned about fulfilling the wishes and directives of your masters in UMNO Youth.
Your only intention was to ensure that us non-Malay kids would forever subscribe to the falsehood that is Malay Supremacy.
That is why you were always biased in your decisions and actions.
However, you were stupid and short-sighted.
I bid a casual sorry if my words are blunt but the truth needs to be told.
You never weighed the possibility that your previous non-Malay students previously poisoned by your hatred and racism would one day return to haunt you as physicians and surgeons.
Yes, indeed Encik Roslan – I am not in the dark.
Cikgu Roslan the previously arrogant and racist bastard is now afflicted with multiple health problems.
I am also aware that your kidneys are now failing to the extent that you will require dialysis soon.
Don’t you worry my beloved teacher – as an ethical doctor I will still offer you the appropriate treatment.
I hope that when you are connected to the dialysis machine for four hours three times a week, you will remember your hate-filled words of yesteryears and repent with sincerity.
As a Christian, a religion that you criticized at your whims and fancy, I forgive you for your wrongs – even those that were filled with hatred towards my ethnicity dan spiritual beliefs.
Nevertheless, allow me to express something which has been entrenched in my mind and those of my then Form One classmates.
SERVE YOU RIGHT, ENCIK ROSLAN.
SERVE YOU RIGHT.
Regards,
P.O.T.S

padan muka cikgu bahlul n palui tu....
Saya juga pernah melalui pengalaman
seperti itu pada tingkatan satu di sekolah Kolej Sultan Abdul Hamid Kedah.(Yang Mahataik pernah belajar di sana)Guru agama dengan tidak segannya menyatakan bahawa kepala Buddha yang disembah penganutnya di buat dari buah-buahan dan bila penganutnya lapar akan di petik buah yang di lekatkan di kepala itu untuk di makan dan mencaci-caci dengan macam-macam cerita yang di wujudnya sendiri di depan murid-murid yang berugama Buddhist. Macam mana orang macam tu nak maju,pemikiran tak bertamadun sangat.Aksi nak caci orang saja,tengok cermin dululah.
what goes around comes around :p
so sorry that you have to listen to his racist comment back then.
but, man.. that guy is dying and wrote blog saying serve him right? :/
cibai punya doktor banyak lak complaint. byk cakap balik taiwan la. u complaint byk2 pun tanah melayu ni gak bagi u kerja.
though i personally didnt hv much bad experience wif this guy (his name should be Raslan), i can empathise wif those who had including POTS...the last i heard of him was dat his kidneys were failing...perhaps there's justice after all for those who've been persecuted...and all it demands is patience...
I guess we can never know how it is for you, being in your shoes, being being other race(s). But please know that I, as a teacher, had sternly chided a Malay boy who carelessly called his Indian classmate a degrading word, and made him apologise there and then. What I am saying is I and many of us, deeply resent the tension and we are sorry for how some of us have treated you. And we do try to make amends. I am sorry that your teacher had said those hurtful words to you and your friends.
When we allow ourselves to be swallowed by the darkness of people around us resulting in a generalisation that certain races are bad ( cuts both ways ), our lives will continue to be in the darkness no matter what happens to other people. Misha is a light that shines and shows that even though "setitik nila rosak susu sebelangga" but there are still other pots of fresh and good milk. I thank you Misha for bringing me back to the light when i got close to the darkness!!!
