SUPP's defeat: Utusan playing up the racist card again

-
The Umno-owned Utusan Malaysia has told Barisan Nasional (BN) to ignore the Chinese community for not supporting the ruling coalition during yesterday’s Sarawak state elections.

BN’s Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) lost more than two-thirds of the 19 seats it contested in a snub by the tiny but vociferous China community. In its weekend edition Mingguan Malaysia, columnist Awang Selamat stressed that re-elected Sarawak chief minister Taib Mahmud’s new cabinet will reflect the “reality of the ballot box.”

“The average Chinese voters have rejected BN and supported DAP. Therefore the BN state government can no longer be too generous in providing positions to representatives from this particular community", Awang added.

Looks like Utusan is playing up the racist card again by trying to instill hatred onto the Chinese community following the later's rejection of SUPP in the recently concluded state elections. In the article, Utusan is also urging the BN leaders both federal and state (in Sarawak) to avenge their (SUPP's) defeat by denying all representation of the Chinese community in the state government.

Taking revenge on the people

In aftermath of the 12th general election on 8 March 2008, which saw MCA and Gerakan being summarily defeated, Utusan had also openly made the same urge to Umno and BN to exclude the remnants of MCA and Gerakan representatives from the federal government to retaliate the people's rejection of the BN's Chinese candidates.

Looks like they are all still in denial mode. They refuse to accept their defeat gracefully but instead blaming the people and saying that the people had actually made a "mistake". These BN leaders cannot accept defeat due to the fact that it was their mistake, arrogance, corruptions, rising racism and extremism in within their ranks, mismanagement, disunity and their ultimate supremacy.

Umno and their BN coalition partners cannot change anymore. Keep up with your good old ways and policies all you can.

By the way, BN's MIC had spoken up against the Utusan's racist article, while both Chinese dominated MCA and Gerakan are still too timid to speak up. How are you going to expect the people to support you?

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...
