Najib's warning, "Vote MCA or else no more government representation"

-
Umno president and BN chairman Najib Razak has given the Chinese community here a stern warning - either you vote for MCA or lose your representation in the federal government.

Looks like the prime minister is threatening the Chinese community in such way that MCA is already so desperate that until it needs a top Umno leader to give the community an ultimatum. Why can't the top leaders in the MCA say all these words by themselves?

Even if the Chinese community do have certain representatives in the federal government as at now, we did not see the effectiveness of these leaders who use to claim to "represent" the Chinese community.

When Umno became from a moderate to an extremist political party, chanting anti-unity slogans, waving their weapons to threaten other races, wanted to repeat the 13 May 1969 incident, wanted bloodshed in their quest for a wider ketuanan melayu (actually ketuanan Umno), instilling hatred, creating chaos, holding racist rallies nationwide and so on, where is MCA at that time? Why didn't they speak up against such discriminations, injustice, unequal policies and to protect the current multiracial foundation we have in this country? Why did MCA tolerated such an extreme behaviours, hate and violent characteristics of Umno?

The Malaysian Chinese community here in our nation actually did not want a race-based political party to represent them at all as if this continues, the gap between these communities in this country would grow wider. Umno for the Malays, MCA for the Chinese and MIC for the Indians for instance. Do we want such divide and rule to continue? If so, what is the course of 1Malaysia?

As long as there are still Umno, MCA and MIC around representing their respective major communities, the split and the gap shall always be there and they will be there so long as BN is in power.

The Malaysia Chinese community at large had continuously voted for PKR and DAP as both of these two opposition parties are not a Malay and Chinese based political parties respectively. Both PKR and DAP are multiracial-based political parties.

PKR and DAP did not put race or ethnicity as their political agenda in order to seek support from the people. These two opposition parties had in fact always stood at the multiracial platform championing the cause of all Malaysians regardless of ethnicity, cultural and skin colours. PKR and DAP are mean for all Malaysians. They do not constitute that their parties are only for certain race or skin colours.

The political situation in our nation today has in fact being modernize with the emergence of more matured and understanding Malaysians from all ethnicity and cultural backgrounds. They do not look at Yunnan, China or India as their country of origin anymore. They were all born and grown up in this country call Malaysia and wanted themselves to be identified as Malaysians instead of Malay, Chinese or Indian.

So, we want to send a strong message to Najib again. Do not play with race card again. The race card is already a history. Adolf Hitler and the Nazis does not exist in this world anymore. It is something of the past and had became irrelevant today. And if want to continue to talk about this race or that race, we do not want you or MCA or MIC to be the "ethnic representative" in your federal government as it serves no purpose at all for a modern Malaysia.

We rather have the Malaysian-based political parties, even if they are in the opposition bench, to represent us in the parliament and state legislative assemblies who are able to champion the cause of all Malaysians, then to have race-based parties in the BN federal government to "champion" the respective ethnicities in a different and unequal way - divide and rule policies.

Najib's next warning to the Indian community - either you vote for MIC or lose your representation in the federal government.

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.

Singapore Malay daily teaches Mahathir about hardwork

The former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad's assumption that Malays in Singapore had failed and their neighbouring Malays should take lesson from their plight has not impressed a Singaporean daily. The republic's Malay daily Berita Harian in an editorial said Malay-Muslims in the republic state were successful and it was a result of their real efforts and hard work in line with the values of meritocracy, not a result of being spoon-fed. “We do not believe in being spoon-fed or being too dependent on the government - in other words, we do not have a crutch mentality,' wrote editor Guntor Sadali. Guntor said Singapore Malays believed that a community with such a mentality would soon become a “two M” community, which stands for ‘manja’ (spoilt), and ‘malas’ (lazy). “We definitely do not want to be labelled as a pampered and lazy community,” he said, adding that the Malay community in the island raised their own funds to build Islamic schools, mosques and other community pro...
