This is way too much.
We cast our votes, put our trust in them, and this is what they did to us. Just when we thought things would not go any worse, it does.
I do not know you guys, but only recently did I discover this daunting truth. Well, remember that I blogged about Samy Vellu’s tribute poem to Pak Lah in conjunction with the latter’s marriage sometime ago? The thing is that poem is a sheer work of plagiarism, full stop. Terrible, right? This was first revealed by Malaysiakini, from a letter sent by a reader which can be viewed here. I might be late in getting to know this, but hey, they always say that it is better late than never, and I guess to be an ignorant is as bad as not knowing it at all.
I remember as an 18-year-old learning how bad a crime plagiarism is in writing, and that we are so inclined to plagiarise sans proper guidance and knowledge. Nevertheless after awhile, once we get used to it, avoiding plagiarism comes naturally and in fact coming out with our own sentences word by word and not merely sticking with another person’s entire work is not that hard. This makes me wonder why in the first place our Samy Vellu did such a stupefyingly silly, shameful act. At the very least, he could always change the words from the original piece a little bit, and that is not difficult, is it?
Anyway, joke has it that at least he knows how to use a couple of functions on a PC; copy and paste. Come to think about it, I reckon it is not too much to wonder if all those paperwork on new highway plan or toll hike and all were also plagiarised, who knows?
