Unity Band??

Yes, I bet you have heard about this whole Unity Band thing...Seen the ad, Only god know how much was that whole piece, and heard it on the radio...
Have you been wondering the following;
1) where do I get the band
2) Most important...why now, all that palaver about the unity band..

Now baring in mind that this whole new rather "hypocritical" initiative is brought to you by the government. now, why am i so surprise...read the following of what i got, from all my searching of info from the web.

MIX FM;

Very soon we will all be celebrating an amazing milestone in our country’s history… 50 years of Independence! (I bet they meant, injustice Independence)
Let’s come together and unite for our homeland Malaysia. (So only now, after 50 years we are concern about unity??)
Get hold of the Unity Band and wear it proudly!
Why? Very simple actually, the Unity Band is a symbol of our Unity, regardless of Race, Religion or Creed. (This line makes me sick, you wanna unite, then let's all start..first remove race from the Identification Card, from the passport, from the whole education system, the banking system, the political system, basically, remove the bumiputera status, oh ya, remove them from all the application forms - schools, uni, jobs..everything!! then you talk about unite)

At the end of the day we are Malaysian. (This one, should be a constant mantra for the government) It’s red colour is symbolic of the colour of the blood that runs though our veins. It is what makes us unique, the fact that Malaysia is so culturally diverse, yet we can all come together and celebrate those differences together in a Unified way which shows our love for our country. (Can we stop hiding behind all these, can someone tell me who came up with this unity band crap??)
