李佳薇, a new star born from 超級星光大道 (Taiwan Star kinda thingy).
All Malaysian was proud of her. As in Chinse from Malaysia. Well, first thing in our head asked, why a talented person, well I mean Chinese in Malaysia has to be overseas in order to be discovered? By the way, again, I can read Chinese, I can type Chinese, but my bloody laptop doesn't allow me to do so..Any Chinese character here were copied and paste.
Well to be frank this entry was not made to decorate or sort of. It was because I simply doesn't feel alright with myself as a Malaysian and there's some di-tindas (taken advantage) feeling jumping around my nerves. Sometimes ago, there's a case mention on the court asking for refund in entertainment tax by a local 'director-wanna-be', believing in/having faith as a Malaysian, he sold his belongings worth millions, just because he wanted to direct a Chinese movie in Malaysia. He was very talented, a gifted guitarist and song writer, whom too, went to Taiwan to expand his carrier, his name was A Niu, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ah_Niu, I don't even bother to hyper-link it. Coz I did mentioned I was drove by unfairness upon writing this blog. He then, like said, sold his belongings just wanted to shoot a movie. But, the movie was listed as foreign movie simply because there're less than 60-70% (can't remember) of Malay Language spoken in the movie. *Recent news reported that the tax was refunded. And there goes a dream of a great man to be a director.
Back to Lee (李佳薇), we are proud of her, indeed we are. Because it's bloody rare nowadays to discover 'something' new in Malaysia. I mean we, Chinese. Again, we had to be overseas in order to be famous/ discovered. Nearest, Singapore. How many talented are there? This entry represent the entire Chinese population in Malaysia. Not just me or the artist we lost to much, professional entities (me as one of them), pros, or what-so-over. We've never heard of this, "A new kinda thing was discover during an experiment, by a Chinese in Malaysia lab.", "A new born star in Malaysia", not even in dream, what so for professionals personals? Chinese here were mainly made up of business men, entrepreneur. Not scientist, not any other thing. So, who are we proud of? We're proud of Lee as in Malaysia Chinese. I had this article asking fellow FB-er to pass it on, well in Mandarin:-
"轉發 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"李佳薇真的很棒！請大家不要一直說：“為馬來西亞爭光” 了，她是為她自己爭光，我覺得你們馬來西亞人得公平一點，你們的
就是因爲你們國家封建的各種制度，才讓華人受盡委屈。
...
……加油李佳薇，你的光榮就只屬於自己，家人，朋友和 - 老師的！"
Tc : 佳薇姐姐真的很棒！很厉害~！！这里的天气都被你的歌声感动的下
Yes indeed, she brought glorious to Malaysian, but again, it's Chinese Malaysian. Others don't even give a darm of whom she is, or was. Many intend to convert their Nationalities after found outside of their 'country'. And yes, we were pushed towards other country too. I'm working abroad and looking forward to be PR-ed. I'm a professional in construction, but was not appreciated. So there I go, abroad. Was grew to love the country, but in return, I'm just simply another Lee. There're so many Lees outside, like her, like me. When are we going to be appreciated? Sounds like a myth to us, sounds like a fairy tale to most of us. And we still believing in it, always wanted to belief.
