entri hari pelaut....yg terlewat
on 25th June every year...is the day of the seafarer....the day that marked by international communities to remember,to appreciate and to celebrate seafarers who are the backbone of global trades...
yeah...me and me mates are the backbone of global trades bebeh....
then why is that i said such a thing...
lets ponder for a moment....
have we ever think where the hell TNB got the means to power their powerplants to provide electricity to the masses...so that we can watch Master Chef Celebrity Malaysia on Astro...so that we can surf the net...so that we can use the air conditioning on a hot tropical afternoon norm to Malaysia...so our electrical appliances are working as it is supposed to be....how and where does the electricity came from...
it came from a far away land.....through the seas...
most of our powerplants are generating power using coal and gas....apart from hydroelectric which is also our doings (serious)..have you ever wonder where does the coal came from...how it was transported....and where they unload it...?
what is a coal powered powerplant without coal....Janamanjung will be dead and part of West coast will have no electricity....so a steady supply of coal were bought from Aussies....taken by a massive bulk carrier manned by mens called seafarers....yes...it was us who brought light to the nation...(not the menteris)...
and what is a hydroelectric plants...if there are nobody to transport its massive turbines...i dont recall we made the turbine ourselves but we did bought them from somewhere and there is no air transport that can carry that massive hydroelectric turbine....
and apart from power generations...ever daily items that we use...from televisions to Ipads to tabs to cars and fuels that we use to work...even a pen and a rubber...your laptop computers...the coffee that your having...of the croissant that your having while reading this post.the oven use to make that croissant..the flour..the cooking oil the additives...even the chair,the table you were sitting at,the clothes you were wearing...almost everything in your household or in the kedai raayat sathu Mareshia came from somewhere else and had a moment in its life living on a hold of a ship...
and these ships are operated by us seafarers (although owned by kompeni)....who ventured to the massive oceans...to nations never been heard before...through raging gales and storms over rolling seas and roaring winds....being chased by fukken pirates...being shot at by warring states...being scrutinized by communities saying that we are nothing but a bunch of men who only live for intoxications and pleasures....
it is us....seafarers...mariners...navigators and marine engineers who brought all of it to your door steps...
we are the driving force...who keep the sea lanes of communications open...who continue the significance of trades....
and without us...well...you can rely on airlines....but wait...even they are relying on us...take every massive parts of the aircraft from one place to another...
so how is that...?
i asked nothing much...but take a moment and have a thought to ponder....
where does all of these thing that i have here came from....and who brought it there...
-it came by the seas and i cant live without it-
