Umno veep says Chinese and Indians are not patriotic

-
Umno vice-president and defense minister Datuk Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had recently told the parliament and the press that the low percentage of Malaysian Chinese and Indians in the armed forces were because members of these two communities are not patriotic.

It shows that this Umno leader is simply avenging his anger on the Malaysian Chinese and Indians just because he failed to attract these two communities to join the armed forces or is he overly foolish to make such statements? But we think that he may belongs to two of these categories.

Why by not enrolling or joining or having an interest in joining the armed forces shows that we are being unpatriotic or somehow a "penderhaka"? What makes you think that we all Malaysian Chinese and Indians who did not enroll in the armed forces are being considered not loyal to our country? Who do you think you are to say all these insulting words? You are being overly a racist when you made this statement.

Being a voter, are we not patriotic? As a voter, we voted out the corrupted and incompetent state governments in Penang, Kedah and Selangor in 2008, are we not patriotic? Being a responsible citizen who is on constant watch in our country's affairs and policies, are we not patriotic? Being a concern citizen who dare to stand up to fight human rights and dignities, are we not patriotic? Being a responsible citizen who comes out daily to work, earn our money and pays our annual taxes to the government, are we not patriotic?

When we saw our Malay, Orang Asli, Kadazan, Murut, Iban or Dayak friends in dire need of our help and financial assistance, we generously gave them cash and other kinds of assistance as a responsible Malaysian citizen, are we not patriotic enough?

There are many Malaysian Chinese and Indians who join the teaching profession in order to educate our fellow young Malaysians to be good and responsible citizens in this nation of ours, are we still not patriotic?

Besides joining the armed forces, there are many other ways and means for us to show and demonstrate our patriotism and loyalty to our nation like what we had mentioned above herein.

Didn't Ahmad Zahid ever realize that there are also many ordinary working Malaysian Chinese and Indians who had regularly sacrifice their family, time and rest to join the voluntary units in the reserve Territorial Army, Police Volunteer Reserve, Rela and Civil Defense in order to serve our nation? Doesn't all these show our patriotism and loyalty to our nation?

Ahmad Zahid's statement in the parliament and to the press recently shows that he is being a fool and narrow minded, perhaps being a racist too for targeting and blaming the Malaysian Chinese and Indians in such an insulting manner.

If you had failed in your duties and responsibilities to attract a fair percentage of our people to enroll in the armed forces, then it is you who is problematic and you should resign from your position as defense minister as soon as possible, instead of blaming our people.

Just don't give stupid, narrow minded and racist reasons or view to cover-up your failure. By the way, where did you bought your Ph.D to have yourself call a doctor?

EC should ask ROS to register Pakatan quickly

The Election Commission (EC) had recently advised the current opposition pact, Pakatan Rakyat comprising PAS, PKR and DAP, to register their coalition so that they could use their logo in the coming general election. EC deputy chairman Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar said the coalition should be registered because the opposition parties were always seen violating regulations of the election campaign, especially on the use of their logo. Datuk Wan Ahmad seems to be overly ignorant and too forgetful on this issue. The EC deputy chairman should ask the Registrar of Societies (ROS) to quickly register the Pakatan instead of calling on Pakatan to register itself. Pakatan Rakyat had earlier send in their formal application to register itself as a coalition of political parties since November 2009 and ROS has yet to register the said entity till today after delaying and creating so many hassles for more than a year. It is not Pakatan who is delaying on its application but it was the ROS who is just...

USM fiasco a shame

-
I read and heard with irritation and felt disgusted with the fiasco committed by the apex status university called Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) which caused untold anguish to the affected students and their parents. If this happened in Japan, the Vice-Chancellor would have done the honourable thing - take full responsibilty and leave, but here in Malaysia, as expected, the blame is shifted here and there, trying to make someone a scapegoat. By the way, would there be any racist or sabotage elements involved? Those who are responsible for this fiasco should be sacked or expelled immediately.

Federal Constitution that Safeguards the Legitimate Rights and Interest of All Malaysians

-

The provisions of the Federal Constitution are very clear. It confirmed the position of the Malay Rulers, Islam as an official religion of the federation and special position of the Malays and the natives in Sabah and Sarawak whilst recalling that those provisions balance those special positions with safeguards to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the other communities in Malaysia which also includes their right to profess and practice their religions freely without being fear of any threats or being harmed by anybody. The legitimate interests of the non-Malays and non-Muslims would include, amongst others: a) Article 153 (9) says that business or trade cannot be solely reserved only for the Malays, b) Article 3 (1) says that the official religion of the federation is Islam BUT other religions are also allowed to be practiced in peace and harmony in any part of the federation. This means, the other communities too have their fundamental legitimate rights and interest here ...
