Title: Today Famous Person – The Lady of Liberty (Auntie Annie Ooi)
Today, the reason why I Choose auntie Annie to be my famous person is because she was successfully becomes a lady of liberty for Malaysian. And how she can be a symbolist in “the lady of Liberty” for Malaysian, it is because she is the oldest lady who believes herself and bravely stand out to fight for a freedom, and the freedom that she fight is not her freedom, but it was the whole Malaysian’s Freedom. As a Malaysian, I am proud of her and I’m proud that the Malaysia still have the brave fully and patriotic lady who will stand out for us and for the country like her.
“Auntie Annie Ooi, who is her?”
Auntie Annie Ooi just a simple old lady who was in the age of 65 and lives with her family at Setapak, Kuala Lumpur. She was an English teacher in the government school before, but now she was retired. She is old, but her spirit is stronger than you and me, because she never stops her step to achieve her dream. Before the case of 709, no one will know what is her dream for future? but in today, we all not only know what is her dream, we even can saw how was she fight for her dream to achieve in the future, and her dream was just a simple “freedom” for whole Malaysian.
“How was she fight for achieve her dream?”
I believe most of the old people’s dream is getting a simple and peaceful in the following life, and they never prefer to stand up and fight to others. But for Auntie Annie, she is difference comparing to others old people, she believes herself to stand up to fight for our human right (freedom), and she believe the age are not a barrier for us to fight for our right.
In the BERSIH 2.0 rally, she believes it was a chance for us to stand up to change. She attend the rally alone by herself, and she fight bravely for her right. In the rally, she was attacked by teargas and chemical water canon, but she never fall down and keep stand up again and again. According to the reporter when they ask her about “what is she feel in the rally”, she answer the reporter about that she is not scare even she had blocked by the police before into the rally, at the same time, she also was prepared to arrest by the police, but no matter how many of the barrier for her to join into the rally, she is still believe that it is right for her to fight for the our freedom.
Now a days, she was became famous in Malaysia, even though some of her fun are creating a fun page (facebook), video (youtube)and also writing a touching story of her in the rally. Her braveness was spread around the world, but when the media are asking her about how she feel for now when getting famous for Malaysian? She answered that she is just a simple old lady in Malaysia like other, and she don’t hope to become an idol for Malaysian, because her action in the rally in not a show for her to getting famous, but was a fight for her to achieve her dream for the future. Although her video and news is getting wide to the global, but she don’t hope people are trying to promote her, but she hope the youngest generation will stand up to fight for their own right together with her.
“M.C.A said she is hired by some parties to act sympathy for people in the rally.”
I really no wonder why the MCA will say so. If MCA is right, that Auntie Annie is acting sympathy in the rally. Than how about MCA lie to the public? Which is more serious? Lying or acting? What is the reason to prove that she want to do so for others parties? All of the questions are unable to answer by MCA, so it is proving that MCA is just simply saying without thinking. When the MCA said so, I really want to tell MCA “please stop lie and discriminate to people”.
Until today, her dream is not yet come true. The corruption is still around us; the violence is still around us; the dirty parties are still around us. How to do for us? It is very simple, keep supporting BERSIH, because it is not Auntie Annie’s dream only, but it is our dream too for us to getting a better future.
“if we are not stand up to fight for our future, than who will fight for our future?” said by Auntie Annie Ooi
