Tak adapun Afdlin Shauki ni kutuk mengutuk rakaan-rakan artis yang tak masuk UMNO. Sebaliknya Afdlin Shauki tuntut semua agar saling hormat-menghormati!!!
Sedih

yang masuk Umno baru-baru ini. Ramai yang mengutuk, mencaci dan mengeji
Afdlin kerana tindakannya itu. Mungkin kalau anda baca luahan hatinya,

Assalammualaikum
Hi guys, My name is Afdlin Shauki, I am a Malaysian who loves his
country just like you, I am a film director, a writer, an actor, a
comedian by profession, a father, a husband and a son. I have worked for
over 20 years in the entertainment industry and although I was trained
as an architect, I decided to join the entertainment industry because it
is about making people happy, about making people open their minds to
the infinite possibilities that life has to offer through one’s creative
endeavors. In a time when there are so many things to frown upon, the
arts provide some form of balance to our emotions.
I think over the 20 years, there have been millions of children,
teenagers, adults and warga emas who I have entertained and have given
at least a brief respite from their hectic daily life. The funny thing
is, all this while, I have been an UMNO supporter but nobody cared
because nobody knew. My question is that, now I have become an UMNO
member, does that suddenly make me an evil person? Does that make me
different from whom I was before? Is it wrong to have a point of view?
I am a person who has always spoken my mind, and through my body of work, I have made known things which are important to me.
Have I pissed the government off before? I’m not sure, but I
probably have when I did my political comedy satire shows before. I also
did the music video ‘UNDILAH’ which was banned by the government for
being too political, even my Datin Maimon is taken to be a parody of the
first lady, eventhough that is purely coincidental. My father in-law is
from the opposition party in Sabah. A lot of my friends in the arts are
very vocal supporters of the opposition, but political differences
aside, we are still friends and family because at the end of the day we
are Malaysians and want the very best for Malaysia.
I know a lot of you are asking why I decided to join UMNO, why now?
Does it really matter?
Those of you who have made up your mind that you do not like me
anymore, have already set your thoughts and have judged me. Suddenly I
have become unlikeable, even though essentially I have not changed.
For those who genuinely want to know, the reason is that I
believe in their mission and ideology, I believe that they are genuine
in wanting to have a cleaner more progressive government, genuine in
wanting to see us all safe and to prosper. There will always be a few
bad hats in any party but the point is that UMNO wants to clean up their
act because they know in order to be the people’s choice once again,
they have to make that change. I want to be a part of that. I believe in
1 Malaysia, all my films have always had those elements within. I
believe positivity begets positivity, the current government isn’t
perfect, nor do they claim to be, but if they are genuine in wanting to
transform themselves into a better government, then I’m all for it. If
there is something that I disagree about with regards to what the party
is doing then I will voice it out to the powers that be. Because as a
member it is my right to help the party become better.
As a person what I want in life is peace and a chance for all of
us to live our lives to the fullest. A place for my children to be able
to grow and live safely.
I am still Afdlin Shauki. I am now an UMNO member, but i believe
it’s ok to have different political views and still be friends. I am
still a social commentator through my art and I will stand and fight for
any fellow Malaysians in need, regardless what party they belong to.
Haters will hate everything regardless. Positive people look at
situations as possibilities. I am not becoming a politician but now you
know my political views. I am still an artiste who will keep on doing
his work. To entertain everyone, regardless.
To those who are going to end their relationship with me, I wish
you well and all the best in everything you do. To those who might not
like the idea but respect my right as a Malaysian too choose, I thank
you. To new friends, welcome to the life of Afdlin Shauki… never a dull
moment hahaha…. Boboi selalu bikin panassss!
Lastly to everyone:
Don’t judge me for my political inclinations, judge me for the work
i have done for my society. But even if you do, it is your right.
Power to the people.
Assalammualaikum.

ReplyDeleteTerima kasih AFDLIN SHAUKI, memang benar kata-kata anda. Orang UMNO pun serupa dengan orang PAS dan lain-lain warga negara Malaysia. Apakah dengan menjadi Ahli atau Penyokong UMNO maka kita sudah bertukar menjadi satu individu pelik?. Politik hanya merupakan satu instrumen bagi rakyat memilih pemerintah. Seperti dengan ahli parti yang lain, Ahli UMNO adalah juga manusia biasa yang dianugerahi Allah dengan akal. Walau dimana sahaja kita berada atau dalam kelompok mana kita menyebelahi, yang pastinya yang baik tetap baik dan yang salah tetap salah. Selamat berjuang dalam UMNO.
