KONTRAK SOSIAL & JUS SOLI

1. Ramai generasi muda  sekarang tidak begitu memahami tentang kontrak sosial dan jus soli. Dari diskusi dan sembang secara tidak formal dengan generasi ini, baik kalangan Melayu, Cina dan India cukup untuk memberi pengajaran betapa rendahnya pemahaman mereka mengenai kontrak sosial dan apa itu jus soli.

2. Kontrak Sosial ialah persetujuan dicapai sebelum merdeka dalam kalangan pemimpin Melayu, Cina dan India, melalui parti mereka wakili, iaitu UMNO , MCA dan MIC. Ia adalah persetujuan dalam kalangan masyarakat berbilang kaum di negara ini. Hasil dari persetujuan , musyawarah dan permuafakatan ini memberi sokongan rakyat  melalui kemenangan Parti Perikatan pada pilihanraya pertama 1955. Kita jangan salah faham, kontrak sosial bukan istilah yang wujud dalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan pada 1957 tetapi permuafakatan yang mewakili semangat penyatuan masyarakat majmuk yang mempunyai roh perlembagaan berkenaan. Jika tiada kontrak sosial  mungkin gagal negara kita gagal mencapai kemerdekaan pada 31 Ogos 1957, kerana penjajah British ketika itu menjadikan permuafakatan memboleh Malaya diiktiraf sebagai negara merdeka. Justeru, ianya berhubung kait dengan 4 perkara utama iaitu, perlembagaan, kemerdekaan, hubungan kaum dan sistem pemerintahan negara.

3. Jus Soli   Ia adalah bahasa Latin bermaksud 'hak untuk kawasan' (right of the soil",[1 commonly referred to as birthright citizenship)   . Kaum minoriti yang bukan dalam kalangan bumiputra telah diberikan status kerakyatan secara  jus soli berdasarkan tempat kelahiran  tanpa mengira bangsa dan keturunan. Atas dasar toleransi yang tinggi daripada penduduk asal orang melayu , bangsa lain perlu tidak mengelak daripada mempertikaikan hak orang melayu dan Islam.Mereka perlu memahami hak istimewa bumiputera mencakupi kontrak sosial, iaitu bukan melayu diberikan kewarganeraan berdasarkan syarat tertentu, manakala bumiputera pula diberikan perlindungan melalui artikel dalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan berhubung hak istimewa.

4. Perlu dingatkan bahawa permuafakatan tidak hanya terikat kepada masa tertentu sehingga ada yang membuat andaian kononnya (kontrak sosial) tidak lagi relevan sekarang ini. Itu adalah persepsi silap yang perlu diperbetulkan. Perlembagaan Persekutuan dirangka oleh pakar perlembagaan dari India, British dan hanya seorang hakim Melayu ketika itu, sekali gus menolak tanggapan atau dakwaan kononnya ia dirangka oleh Sultan dan orang Melayu. Persetujuan yang sudah termeterai sekian lama itu perlu diteruskan. Generasi muda sekarang ini ramai yang lalai dan anggap kontrak sosial dan jus soli hanya sesuai pada era nenek moyang mereka, sedangkan ia masih relevan sepanjang zaman. Selagi 9 Sultan dan Majlis Raja-Raja melindungi hak keistimewaan orang Melayu dan Islam negara ini, selagi itulah kontrak sosial perlu dipertahankan. Jangan sesekali mempertikaikan kontrak sosial dengan andaian negatif kononnya ia hanya untuk kepentingan Melayu dan tidak adil kepada kaum lain.

10 SIGNS YOU WERE IN THE MILITARY


We all know the tell-tale signs of a military service member, high-and-tight haircut, camouflage  backpack, polo shirt and cargo shorts combination, unit t-shirts or hats, decals on cars, and of course, “Affliction” t-shirts and not to forget the ‘dog tag on the neck. These are all easy ways to spot military folks in public places. And while many of us try not to stand out, there are still subtle indicators. Most civilians would never notice these things, but they are dead giveaways to those who have served. Here are the top ten.
1. Walking fast. You might be doing a great job of blending in to your civilian surroundings, but your walk is always going to give you away. Military personnel walk with a purpose, as if their trip to the grocery store is actually a Ops briefing.
2. Hair. Broke your habit of getting a high and tight? Good for you. But that leaves you two options: the fade and the classic “officer or pilot hair.” Yes, we see you pushing the edges of the “three inches on the top” rule as proscribed in Army.
3. Eating fast. Habits are hard to kick. And rarely in the military did you ever have ample time to appreciate your food even if you wanted to.
4. The power stance. Non-commissioned officers and officers are easy to spot, just look for the person attempting to own the room through the “thumbs through the belt power” stance or the “crossed arms and not leaning against anything” stance.
5. Jargon. Just try not to say “roger” or “affirmative” in conversations. Just try. Eventually, your language will out you.
6. Walking. There is no way that a group of military members can take a casual stroll down a sidewalk without eventually falling into step. Even if you try not to, you will.
7. Sunglasses. Congratulations, you’re not wearing Ribbon or G.I. frames. Well done. But you’re still wearing sunglasses all the time. Even when it is cloudy outside.
8. Absurd politeness. You can easily pick out service members by their over usage of “sir” and “ma’am.” It is a credit to the military’s discipline that a cashier receives the same clipped tones and politeness a four-star general would.
9. Scanning crowds. Go to a party and you’re bound to see the one person who is constantly scanning usually somewhere where they can see the whole room. And God help the person acting suspicious because the military promotes being confrontational.
10. Sleeping anywhere. Military personnel can sleep approximately anywhere, in any weather, on anything.
