Umno's Claim Of A "Chinese Tsunami". How True?

-
When the results of the 13th general elections (GE13) was announced, the opposition coalition, Pakatan Rakyat (PR) had managed to spring a bigger surprise over its rival, ruling coalition Barisan Nasional (BN) by having increased its parliamentary and state seats nationwide.

As the opposition coalition and their supporters were overjoyed, BN leaders, particularly from Umno then aimed their salva at the Chinese community, alleging that the Chinese has revolted against the BN government by not supporting the ruling coalition, thus immediate called the GE13 results as a typical "Chinese Tsunami". From there, Umno leaders continuously attacked the Chinese community and had urged the government to avenge their defeat on the second largest ethnic in our nation.

And until yesterday, it was still Umno's claim of the "Chinese Tsunami". Umno leader wanted to remind the other ethnics every day that it was the Chinese who are against the other ethnics. However, if you see the Black 505 rally at Padang Merbok today, do all of us see the majority of those rally goers? Yes, the rally is definitely not a "Chinese dominated" or "Chinese instigated" ones as claimed by Umno earlier.

It is indeed a rally attended by all Malaysians to show our dissatisfaction over the electoral frauds engineered by the BN government and the Elections Commission (EC). Again, we repeat, not only the Chinese, all Malaysians are expressing their discontent against the BN government and the EC over the electoral frauds which happened in the recently concluded GE13.

Well, what has been seen and reported in most of the online news report has proven the fact that it is a Malaysian-based rally, regardless of whatever ethnics are involved. Whoever who are attending or has attended and has being supporting the rally today are all Malaysians from the entire nation.

Guess, what? By tomorrow, Umno leaders would definitely manipulate the scene in order to make it as a "Chinese rally" or "Chinese revolt" in the mainstream media channels starting today in order to pit the other ethnics against each other. The blaming the Chinese game will continue.

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...
