FuFu Malaysia Project - Episode 5 : Nationality (Malaysia)

Leehom Wang 王力宏 (Taiwan). Takeshi Kaneshiro 金城武 (Japan). Nicholas Tse 謝霆鋒 (Canada). Daniel Wu 吳彥祖 (United States). Chilam Cheung 張智霖 (Hongkong). Bruce Lee 李小龍 (United States). They have nothing much in common with each other but for sure they are still famous and gorgeous Asian celebrities. But what the hell i relate them here in my Malaysia Project?

Well, i have been telling since Form 6 (A-level or pre university studies) by my mother, friends, acquaintances, strangers that i look like them. First is Leehom Wang, my mother was the first who said i look like him when his MV of 公轉自轉 was showing after a Hongkong series at Astro WLT. Next is Takeshi Kaneshiro. I think nearly 10 years ago when studying Form 6 at TARC. I used to wear glasses yet people still said i looked like the Takeshi when he was wearing glasses.

When i told my friends about this topic, they just couldn't stop laughing at me. Probably they have been seeing the same person for years and don't really realize it. Even myself at the beginning didn't think that i looked like Takeshi Kaneshiro until I flew to Japan.

My Japanese host families and friends said i look more alike to Katsunori Takahashi 高橋克典 (another local popular Japanese artist) instead of Takeshi Kaneshiro. And the funny thing is i found that Takeshi Kaneshiro looks like Katsunori Takahashi. So if A=B and A=C, so B=C, and therefore it proves that A=B=C! Since then i accepted the fact that FuFu does look like both Takeshi and Katsunori.

Even though i had adequate pocket money to spend in Japan, i did part-time job to earn more money for the future. Having a chance to work at a Malaysian restaurant in Osaka, i had many opportunities to brush up my Kansai-ben (more melodic and harsher Japanese). Perhaps my hairstyle was pretty same like Nicholas Tze at that moment, customers and my Boss wondering if i was Nicholas's long lost brother.

After moving to Hiroshima from Osaka, i showed my 2005 Taiwan trip pictures to some of my friends, they said i looked like Daniel Wu. Group of my Malay friends said i looked like Chilam when i first met them in Hiroshima. Bruce Lee popped up when i was visiting New Zealand under the Working Holiday's Visa. Later on, more and more artists such as Lee Hyun-kyoon (Korea), Louis Ku 古天樂 (Hongkong), Mark Zhao You-Ting 趙又廷 (Taiwan), Huang Xiaoming 黃曉明 (mainland China) etc being mentioned.

So, what do you think? Do i really look like the artists i mentioned above? Frankly speaking, it really flatters me because they are really all good looking guys. It's my honour! But on one side, i feel sad because i can't establish my own nationality. Nobody would think that i am a child of Malaysia. I am still who i am. Lam Ching Fu 林振富, aka FuFu. Probably i need to achieve something great so everyone would know FuFu's nationality. Because not many people alert about Malaysia's existance. We seriously need to promote and establish our own unique nationality internationally.



"Are you from Japan?"

"Are you Korean?"

"I thought people from Hongkong doesn't speak good Mandarin."

Even though i can't prevent people from thinking that i am from China, Korea, Hongkong, Japan or anywhere, my heart is still belong to Malaysia. Or should i get a "Made in Malaysia" tattoo on my forehead, letting everyone know my nationality before talking to me?

Being away from Malaysia since 2002, i have been telling everyone i am a child of Malaysia. And they accept me as a Malaysian. But in Malaysia, we always arguing that Uncle Lim was originated from China, Rajah was an Indian descendant, Hang Ali actually came from Palembang, Indonesia. Hey, we are all born in Malaysia. We have only one nationality - Malaysia. Nowhere else we can go but Malaysia is the only country we should all call home. If Uncle Lim should go back to China, i think only Orang Asli (the indigenous people) are allowed to stay back in Malaysia. Think twice before you speak. You can't delete what you have spoken or written because now we have cameras, recorders, internet, Youtube and blogs.

Another issue is since we are all Malaysians and Bahasa Malaysia is the national language, why you still surprise Uncle Lim can speak good Bahasa Malaysia? Isn't that what you want? Why can't Rajah speak fluent Cantonese or Hang Ali speak good Mandarin? That can be an insult you know? Our nationalities won't change according to what languages we speak, where is our ancestor's origin, how we look like, what colour of our skins, what festivals we celebrate, etc. Living under one big colourful roof, no matter what languages we speak, we are still all Malaysians.

p.s. 1 : It's alright if you don't think i look like any one of the artists mentioned above.

p.s. 2 : It's all about my own true stories (kisah benar). Take it or leave it.

p.s. 3 : The crescent moon is a symbol of the official religion Islam.




富富默迪卡行動 - 國籍 (馬來西亞)

王力宏金城武謝霆鋒張智霖李小龍
他們唯一的共同點就是亞洲的巨星
爲什麽我會把他們的大名擺上來呢
因爲我跟他們也享用一個共同點咯
我們身體裏面都有同樣的良好基因
不是我自戀自大而是身邊的人都說
我長得真的有點像他們信不信由你
我剛開始有點自豪但後來覺得不爽
因沒有人會想我是出身于馬來西亞
我的國籍根本就是不明確搞不清楚
看來要在額頭寫我是大馬出產才行

但是在馬來西亞大家的身份也不明
有人說我是中國來的他是印度來的
那你祖先也不是都從印尼偷渡來的
拜托先把你的歷史讀好一點才出聲
不然別人會說你説話沒有經過大腦
是不是曾經有人從印尼跑過來大馬
然後才建立他們的皇囯直到鬼佬來
然後華人來做生意及印度人當勞工
最後我們三大民族一起爭取默迪卡
如果我和他都應該離開那你也應該
因這一片肥沃的土地是屬於土族的
不要在重復這些愚蠢傷害人的事了
我們應該彼此和睦相處及相親相愛

既我們已是土生土長的馬來西亞人
馬來西亞語又是囯語以及官方語言
爲什麽我們不能夠說流利的馬來話
爲什麽還驚訝這不是你們想要的嗎
我生活在這一個五顔六色的屋簷下
就有權利說任何語言信仰任何宗教
爲什麽你們驚訝他能夠說流利中文
難道才有你們可說回自己的語言嗎
只有華人才可以寫大楷及說中文嗎
還搞不清楚爲何黑皮膚可說廣東話
記得我們是個多語言及種族的國家
我們應該學習接受及包容其他友族
大家應該不分彼此搞好我們的家園
