BABAK 2

Pada 21 Julai 1875, Sultan Abdullah bermesyuarat di Kampung Durian Sebatang bersama-sama Dato’ Maharajalela dan pembesar-pembesar yang lain.

S Abdullah	Wahai pembesar-pembesar sekelian. Beta rasa kita perlu mengambil tindakan segera sebelum terlambat. Pentadbiran orang Barat ini nampaknya semakin menyusahkan rakyat beta.  Apa pendapat pembesar-pembesar sekelian?
Pandak Indut	Ampun tuanku. Ya tuanku. Patek bersetuju dengan pandangan tuanku. Kita perlu bertidak segera. Kita perlu menghapus orang Barat itu. Itu saja jalan yang patek nampak ada. Ampun Tuanku.
Sepuntum	Ampun Tuanku. Ya Tuanku. Orang barat durjana yang tidak tahu adat itu harus kita hapuskan daripada mukabumi bertuah ini.  Mereka tidak berhak mengarah kita. Hanya sultan saja yang berhak sebegitu. Ampun Tuanku.
Pembesar-pembesar memandang sesama sendiri sambil mengangguk kepala.
S Abdullah	Kalau begitu kata sepakat pembesar-pembesar beta, beta setuju.  Antara tuan hamba pembesar, siapakah yang ingin menawarkan diri? Supaya kerja ini sempurna laksananya.
Pandak Indut	Ampun Tuanku. Apa kata kalau Dato’ Maharajalela yang melaksanakan tanggungjawab ini? Hamba rasa Dato’ Maharajalela seorang saja yang mampu menumbangkan si jahanam itu! Ampun Tuanku.
Sepuntum	Ampun Tuanku. Betul kata Pandak Indut itu. Hamba bersetuju sangat dengan cadangannya. Dato’ lah orang yang paling sesuai menjalankan tugas yang penting ini. Ampun Tuanku.
S Abdullah	Bagaimana Dato’? Adakah Dato’ setuju memikul tanggungjawab besar ini?
Dato’ M	Ampun Tuanku. Titah Tuanku patek junjung.  Kalau putih kata Tuanku, putihlah kata patik. Kalau si biadap itu yang Tuanku inginkan, atas dulang patik sajikan. Ampun Tuanku.
S Abdullah	Baiklah. Kalau begitu percepatkan langkah tuan hamba Dato’. (Memandang kea rah pembesar-pembesar yang ada ) Jangan sampai rancangan kita diketahui orang Barat. Biar pecah di perut. Jangan pecah dimulut. (Memandang kea rah Dato’) Berhati-hati Dato’ kerana orang Barat itu sangat bahaya.  Beta doakan kejayaan Dato’. Segeralah.
Dato’ M	Menjunjung titah tuanku. Sembah patik harap diampun. Ampun Tuanku.

Sultan Abdullah berangkat meninggalkan balai dengan diikuti oleh semua pembesar-pembesar. Masing-masing mengangguk-ngangguk kepala dan menepuk-nepuk belakang Dato’ sebagai tanda sepakat dan member semangat.

Tanggal 1 November 1875, Dato’ Maharajalela mendapat peluang untuk membunuh JWW Birch.  Pada hari itu Birch dan rombonganya tiba di Pasir Salak untuk menampal surat pengisytiharaan tentang penyerahan kuasa pentadbiran kepada British. Dato’ Maharajalela telah sepakat memilih Pandak Indut dan Sepuntum untuk membunuh Birch dan pengikut-pengikutnya.

Maka berlakulah tragedy bersejarah ini pada 2 November 1875. Birch ditikam oleh Pandak Indut semasa sedang mandi di rumah rakit.

(Hanya kedengaran suara sahaja)

Birch	What are you doing? What are doing? Spare my life! Spare me! Help!!!
Pandak Indut	Aarghh!!! Rasakan keris anak Melayu ini!! Aarghh!!
Birch tercampak ke dalam sungai Pasir Salak. Namun dia masih hidup lagi.
Birch	Help me! Help me, Arshad!  Help me!
Sepuntum	Masih bernafas lagi kau? Nah! Rasakan pulak tetakan parangku ini pula !!
Birch	Aaarrgghhhh!!!!!

Si Arshad, sipengkhianat turut dibunuh oleh Pandak Indut semasa menampal surat pengisytiharan.

(Atas pentas Pandak Indut  dan beberapa pengikut lain menghendap Si Arshad dan dibunuh).

BABAK 3

JWW Birch merupakan pembesar Orang Barat yang pertama dibunuh. Selepas kejadian itu telah tercetus rusuhan antara orang melayu tempatan dengan orang suruhan Barat.

(Babak rusuhan di atas pentas dan di dataran Kejat)

BABAK 4

Apabila banyak pertumpahan darah dan kehilangan nyawa, akhirnya penyatuan diutamakan. Cubaan untuk berdamai dengan British diteraju oleh Tunku Abdul Rahman.  Tunku menganjurkan Konvensyen Kebangsaan bersama-sama MCA dan MIC membentuk Parti Perikatan yang dipimpin beliau. 3 badan politik dalam parti tersebut: UMNO – diketuai oleh Tunku Abdul Rahman, MCA – diketuai oleh HS Lee dan MIC – diketuai oleh Tun V.T Sambathan.

(Pelakon naik ke pentas mengikut susunan nama dan pelakon-pelakon lain berkumpul di dataran Kejat mendengar ucapan).

(Orangramai membakar semangat dengan bertepuk tangan dan membuat laungan-laungan patriotik semasa ucapan diberi.)

Tunku Abd Rahman	Kita / rakyat yang bebas / Kita tidak perlu dijajah / oleh negara lain./ Selama ini / kita menghadapi / pelbagai cabaran,/ dugaan / dan kehilangan./ Hari ini / kita mendapat / satu peluang / untuk membentuk / masa hadapan / yang cerah ./ Kita perlu / menyedarkan kuasa-kuasa barat / bahawa / kita mempunyai kewibawaan / untuk membentuk / kerajaan kita sendiri./ Kita TIDAK perlu / menjadi hamba / di tanah milik / kita sendiri./
H.S.Lee	Kebebasan di tangan kita. / Kita perlu / menggunakan peluang ini / untuk mempertahankan / kebebasan itu./ Adakah kita / boleh mencapainya?/
Tun VT Sambathan	Kita anak tanah ini. / Keselamatan dan kebebasan tanah ini / tanggungjawab kita. / Marilah kita / bersama-sama / menyelamatkan tanah ini / daripada tangan kuasa Barat./
Tunku Abd Rahman	Tanpa mengira / bangsa / kaum / dan agama / kita dibawah satu nama / iaitu / Anak Malaya./ Marilah kita / bersama-sama  mendapatkan / hak kebebasan kita. / Ayuhlah! /
Ketiga-tiga Pemimpin	Bersatu Kita Teguh / Bercerai kita roboh. /

Orangramai: Penjajah diselar. Hidup Malaya!!!

(Orangramai bersurai.)

Ketiga-tiga parti ini berjaya mendapat sokongan rakyat. Parti Perikatan memenangi Pilihan Raya 1955. British terpaksa akur dan menerima hakikat bahawa Parti Perikatan telah berjaya membentuk kerajaan sendiri.

BABAK 5

(Di atas pentas: Tunku, Lee dan Tun duduk menunggu Ratu)

Seperti yang telah dijanjikan, satu rombongan diwakili oleh Tunku Abd Rahman, HS Lee dan Tun Abdul Razak Hussein telah ke London untuk membuat perundingan kemerdekaan dengan Ratu Elizabeth.

(Ratu Elizabeth masuk diiringi oleh pengawal peribadi. Tetamu bangun. Apabila Ratu duduk baru tetamu duduk dan perbincangan bermula.)

Mereka telah berjaya mendapatkan persetujuan ratu untuk membentuk kerajaan sendiri dan mereka menandatangani dokumen pengisytiharan kemerdekaan di London. Akhirnya, Negara kita telahpun mencapai kemerdekaan.

(Ratu bangun. Tetamu ikut bangun. Ratu mengangguk-ngangguk kepala dan kemudian beredar. Tetamu turut mengangguk-ngangguk kepala dan beredar setelah ratu beredar.)

Tunku Abdul Rahman (naik kembali ke atas pentas) dilantik sebagai Perdana Menteri Malaya yang pertama. Pada malam 30 Ogos 1957, tepat jam 12 tengah malam, di hadapan Padang Kelab Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, bendera Union Black diturunkan dan bendera Persekutuan Tanah Melayu dinaikkan. Penyerahan dokumen pengisytiharan kemerdekaan serta laungan ‘Merdeka’ sebanyak 7 kali oleh Tunku Abdul Rahman dan disahut oleh seluruh Tanah Melayu.

(Laungan 7 kali)

TANDA PERTIWI DIJULANG WARISAN.

Independence by Benjamin Rajendra Dass

          

          Come to think of it, everyone has their own way or has had experienced in cutting themselves loose from bondage, whether it be physical or emotional. A certain type of satisfaction, or others may say 'eternal happiness that kills', is achieved when that certain stumbling block, which stopped and hindered ones progress since the rock of ages, is finally leaped over. Relief beyond degree oozes out from every pore making one feels as though he or she is untouchable and the term 'infinity' does not mean a thing but just another stone.

          Independence. Just one word that gives a deep meaning to those who cherish yet understands it. Many people take independence as something revolving around chaos, machine guns, the adrenaline of warfare and bloodshed. Is that the true meaning of independence? Or does the underlying meaning is only apparent to those limited and selected? Or it is something of a secretive meaning hiding and awaiting to be discovered? Only those who have gone through it will truly understand this simple concept, said most, but is that reality or is that just a myth?

     One thing is for sure, it is not easy to obtain it but once gained, it is owned for life. At least, that is what John thought as he looked, day after day, dreading attending school. John had nothing happening in his life. His family; a stranger he is felt, his class; an enemy he is seen. Innocence was just a stage, and a fool he felt, being on it acting all his way through life. Continuously, he thought of how he could escape everyone and everything. What is seen is a sore to his eyes, what is felt is an ache to his heart, a striking spear that pierced the core of his being? Because of his parents distrust towards him, he paid for his tuition fees leaving nothing to himself. Getting tricked and deceived by siblings was what he felt, abandoned and alienated, he had to make his own decisions and fend for himself. No matter how hard he struggles, his seemed blissful life dragged him down, over and over, again.

          What is he to do? He firstly opts to re-try; accompanies by his two best friends, he tries to pick up the pieces but defenseless he feels and again, falls until he hits rock bottom. Luck was soon at his side when he stumbles upon his old tuition teacher who pulls him to the surface.

          Then, this particular old tuition teacher had actually noticed and detected John's suffering, plastered over his naive face, reading him like an opened book. However, no action was taken, no deed was done, to ease John's burden and to alleviate John's troubles. He did not want to impose and pry as to what had brought this young boy to be in this rut that he was in. He thought that if the boy needed his assistance, the boy would come to him. Unfortunately, the boy he had just seen had changed considerably. The battered soul was now evident from his appearance; a hunched back, a shambled walk and a wrinkled face, depicting years beyond his true age. He approached John in his free will, pleading John to accept his assistance. John, in turn, was out of his wits, opened up his trust to this man whom he saw 'from another world', and embraced the offered help. Among the aids extended, this man left him with a phrase of his own, 'Dear John, do seek your own selfish longing'. John was left to ponder and understand what this means and what would his life be if he executed the true meaning of this powerful phrase.

          Ergo, John picked up the pieces and continued with his life. Holding a stable job and a steady income, he was much appreciated of life and what revolved around him. Is this still considered independence? If it is then, in what term is it considered? It all started from the moment he decided to change, the moment he said, 'No more!' That very moment when he started to not just walk, but run, competing with the speed of light, that very moment he wanted to trash down the bonds of unhappiness. So, is holding a secured job not satisfying enough? It is definitely better than a poor soul being lost forever, in itself, being defined as, independence.

          

Changes

Some people prefer to spend their lives doing the same things and avoid changes. Others, however, think that change is always a good thing. Discuss both views and give your own opinions.

The pleasure of sitting down on a bench early in the morning, watching the sun’s rays breaking through the chilled air, listening to birds chirping and humming about, feeling the wet air touches soft tender skin and breathing the fresh air. Picturing it with closed eyes oozes feelings of desire and as the day prolongs, wishful thinking fills our imagination with great humble. One could wake up to that every single morning for the rest of their lives, whereas, some would beg to differ.

Some people are just hungry for adventure. Even 30 minutes of the same thing could either make or break their day. Being monotonous in the signature of life for them would mean not progressing. Some would go to extends of risking their lives in the name of adventure. People, like of those, look at changes as something of a good guilty pleasure that they feed and thrive on. For example, early morning coffee and miraculously change their day. How? With excess milk added to the coffee, different patterns are made to please the drinkers. So, as the drinker indulges in it, a little smile breaks up apart from its strong, awakening smell. Change has never been bad but to the extreme, it could be lethal.

Others would rather stick to their main routine, day by day, and would be content on that. Eating the same food in the same coffee shop every morning for the rest of their slothful lives would be of extreme delight to them. They prefer monotonous compared to melodious thundering with rhythm as change was never their taste. To be cooped up in their own little world is of delight to the them. To do what they love, to do what seems important to them. Change for them means disaster or in other words, bad luck! With the routine they have, they do not feel it is important to change to change what gives them constant happiness because change would have a probability of either making someone exploded with happiness and a sense of accomplishment, or it could just be a complete disaster and bitter sadness as things may not have worked out for the best. Indifference is sometimes good but of constant, it can destroy a person mentally.

In my opinion, a bit of both cakes is lovely enough. Having a large chunk of one would lead to being bored of the same taste or having a large chunk of the other would bring about migraines and of others as it is too rich and colorful, rest is needed. Sometimes doing the same thing and avoiding changes in certain aspects does create tender, self-indulged happiness. It is something cherished and looked forward for, day after day, for example, meeting your best friend at a coffee stand and chatting for an hour everyday can change the total mindset of the day. A little of change is also good in its own way. For example, when working out different muscle groups, knowing that every day, different muscle are being trained bringing about a total development bursts enthusiasm, where one can’t wait for the next workout.

Different people have different liking based on variety of personalities existing. Both, to be monotonous and to be as water, shape-shifting every time is good in it is own way altogether. What is most important that adapting and progressing mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually should be taken care of? Moderation in everything is important and vital and an extreme in anything is always of danger.

There is no Music Era’s promotional activities but Music Connect provides free concert ticket to attract more teenagers. The widest gap of Music connect between week 4 and 1 of 40,000 teenagers experiences a decrement as there is free concert ticket in week 4 and none in week 1. For Era Music, both week 1 and week 4 with the same amount of students, 10,000 teenagers visit the website as both have no promotional activities.

          In conclusion, the numbers of teenagers visiting these websites are not swayed by the promotional activities executed.

In this sample script, the candidate has analyze and synthesize both the figure and the table.

Be the bigger person

Sentap - ???

Have you ever got that feeling when you sense someone is suddenly just giving you the cold shoulder? (= sentap). You think hard and long for something you might have said or done to be given that treatment, but you just can’t think of a reason...

Norhafizah Manaf ‎: I have tried turning the blind eye to the cold shoulder given to me. But when you see the person every day, it still does hurt when previously he/she has always been friendly and joke around with u. I guess I am the sensitive type, this sort of silent animosity affects me so, especially when I don’t think I have done anything to deserve it....If I knew I was in any way responsible for the cold treatment, it will be easy, I can just go up and apologise and will totally understand if he/she wishes to remain cold and aloof. My experience has always been that the person has somehow gotten a-non-justified information about me, but, instead of confronting me for confirmation, chooses to give me the cold shoulder instead. Unfortunately, when all misunderstanding is ironed out, by that time the damage is already done ... I am already hurt. Unfortunately, once I am hurt, one can rest assure that I will do my best not to be hurt again...which means staying as far away as possible from the said person....yup that’s my dilemma :(

Nani-Syed Osman: Kak...I have been in ur position more than once. I think to just ignore the 'y' and go on s if nothing is wrong...will win you the battle. Of course, the gnawing feeling leaves you with some unsettling feeling. However, to pursue the matter will be futile in most cases. Treat them well; ‘em cold shoulders, and be the better and bigger person. If they are older, then, just pacify urself by reminding ye'self that you have done something to irk them. Think hard of what it is. If you still can't pin-point it, just let it go and let it drift with the breeze. If they are younger, then, conclude that they are still in the learning process. If we go on hunting in every nooks and corners of our life with all the what’s and all the whys, we might just miss out with the most wonderful events and the most awesome people who accept and treat us just the way we are...My 2 cents..
