CHANGING REGIME by Mahathir Mohamad

CHANGING REGIME

By 

Dr. Mahathir Mohamad 

on February 28, 2011 10:30 AM | 

1. The people of Tunisia and Egypt have overthrown their Governments. A number of people have been killed in the process. More will follow before the uprisings will be over. Now comes the problem of setting up new Governments which would make the struggle and the sacrifices worthwhile. If the new Governments fail then all the struggles and sacrifices would have been in vain.

2. I am sure that the people would want to see a democratic Government, a Government of the people, by the people, for the people.

3. This sounds great but Government by the people will not be so easy. You cannot have the people directly governing themselves. You will need to have a new constitution and political parties which will enable representatives of the people to form the Government. For this, elections will have to be held. Unfortunately elections can be manipulated.

4. There will be a rush to grab for power by nationalists and by opportunists. It will not always be the good people who will win to form Governments. The idea of people choosing their leaders sounds very democratic but the people may not be savvy as to the quality of the candidates. Sectarian loyalties, money and narrow-mindedness may bring instability, economic regression and even anarchy.

5. The administrative machinery would need to be revamped and retrained as they would not be familiar with the democratic system. The police and military will have to understand professionalism i.e. that they will be the permanent part of the Government as against the elected Government which will last only as long as they manage to retain the support of the people.

6. The professional administrators, military and police must learn to be subservient to the elected Governments even when they are changed by the electorate through periodic elections. Their political affiliations will be private as they will have to serve whichever party forms the Government. It is going to be hard. The temptation to seize power will plague the minds of many.

7. Both the elected and permanent members of the Government will wield power to some degree. Power corrupts and will affect the performance of the Government. It is not necessary that the Government which replaces the old regime will be free from corruption. The people may have to try to remove the Government again and again with no certainty the replacements would be any better.

8. I pray and hope that the people who had suffered so much under the old regimes and suffered more in their present struggle will be rewarded with Governments that they had dreamed off. 

BUKTI MENGKAFIR UMNO

BUKTI MENGKAFIR UMNO

By 

Dr. Mahathir Mohamad 

on February 24, 2011 7:00 AM 

1. Dalam Utusan Malaysia 18hb Februari, 2011, Nik Aziz bertanya apa bukti dia mengkafir UMNO.

2. Allah Maha Kaya.

3. Kepada soalannya, dia sendiri menjawab, "Tolak agama ambil nasionalis, apa nama kerja ini". Jadi nasionalis UMNO di dakwa oleh Nik Aziz menolak agama. Dan dia bertanya, "apa nama kerja ini". Tolak agama bermakna kafir. Jadi Nik Aziz tuduh UMNO kafir.

4. Nik Aziz menuduh saya fikir agama ini sembahyang, puasa, nikah kahwin, tengok anak bulan, itu sahaja agama saya. Memang pun bagi saya semua ini adalah sebahagian daripada ajaran agama Islam. Apa dianya yang saya tolak berkenaan agama dengan menjadi seorang nasionalis? Ini tidak diterangkan.

5. Tetapi sebelumnya dia mendakwa "sokong PAS ertinya sokong Islam". Kita jadi Islam setelah mengucap dua kalimah syahadah - "Tiada Tuhan (yang disembah) melainkan Allah dan Nabi Muhammad adalah Rasul Allah".

6. Apakah Nik Aziz berpendapat hanya setelah mengucap "sokong PAS" baru jadi Islam dan sebelum itu kafir? Ini juga bermakna Nik Aziz mengkafirkan saya.

7. Tidak ada pengertian lain dengan dakwaan UMNO tolak Islam selain daripada mendakwa UMNO adalah kafir.

8. Apa lagi bukti yang dikehendaki oleh Nik Aziz yang dia telah mengkafir saya dan UMNO kerana kami nasionalis yang tidak sokong PAS.

9. Nik Aziz membandingkan dirinya dengan malaikat yang menegur Nabi. Saya bukan Nabi dan Nik Aziz bukan malaikat. Nik Aziz dan saya hanya manusia biasa dan ahli politik. Teguran ahli politik kerana kepentingan politiknya tidak sama dengan teguran malaikat.

10. Lagi pun teguran Nik Aziz menidakkan ke-Islaman saya, satu teguran (lebih tepat lagi satu tuduhan) yang amat serius.

11. Apakah ada orang Islam yang tidak melenting jika sesiapa mengkafirkannya? Apakah Nik Aziz tidak akan melenting jika saya kata dia sudah kafir? Belum saya kata itu pun Nik Aziz sudah melenting.

12. Berkenaan dengan Nik Aziz dan PAS memperkenalkan Islam kepada DAP, bukti menunjukkan PAS yang telah dipengaruhi DAP.

13. Lihat sahaja tindakan biadap terhadap Sultan dan Raja Muda Perak oleh ahli PAS, berguling-guling atas jalan menghalang kereta Raja. Sebelum berbaik dengan DAP ahli PAS lebih berpegang kepada budaya Melayu. Kerana mahu sokong DAP ahli PAS mengenepikan ke-Melayuan mereka. Dan sekarang tuntutan untuk mendirikan negara Islam pun sudah tidak didengari lagi.

14. Apabila bapa kepada DAP menyarankan supaya orang Islam longgarkan pegangan mereka kepada ajaran Islam, Nik Aziz tidak menolaknya kerana anggapannya yang saranan ini tidak seburuk nasionalisme orang Islam UMNO. Janganlah melenting jika saya kata Nik Aziz sudah terima saranan Lee Kwan Yew supaya orang Islam longgarkan pegangan mereka kepada Islam kerana ini tidak dahsyat seperti menjadi nasionalis Melayu Islam dalam UMNO.

15. Sekarang Nik Aziz mahu Melayu diutamakan kerana mereka adalah masyarakat majoriti di negara ini. Bukan masalah orang Melayu yang menyebabkan Nik Aziz mengubah pendirian terhadap bangsanya tetapi kerana Melayu menjadi majoriti dan dianya memerlukan undi orang Melayu, tidak lebih daripada itu.

16. Kenalilah Nik Aziz, orang yang utamakan hanya undi orang Melayu, bukan keprihatinan terhadap masalah hidup mereka.

THE RIGHT AND WRONG OF JOHN R. MALLOT IN THE WALL STREET JOURNA

THE RIGHT AND WRONG OF JOHN R. MALLOT IN THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

Ambassador John R. Mallot served in Kuala Lumpur for three years in the 90’s when Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamed was Prime Minister. I believe, because of Dr Mahathir’s strong stand against hypocrite western governments, Mallot took umbrage and began his gradual attacks on the Malaysian Government. Here are some of my responses (numbered and in white letters) to his article in the Wall Street Journal of 8 February 2011. I must bring to the attention of the readers that these are my personal opinion whether right or wrong which may not represent the official views or stand of UMNO nor the good Prime Minister of Malaysia. Mallot’s original article is in yellow.

Mallot (extreme left), Former US Ambassador Or Current Ambassador For Pakatan?

Malaysia's national tourism agency promotes the country as "a bubbling, bustling melting pot of races and religions where Malays, Indians, Chinese and many other ethnic groups live together in peace and harmony." Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak echoed this view when he announced his government's theme, One Malaysia. "What makes Malaysia unique," Mr. Najib said, "is the diversity of our peoples. One Malaysia's goal is to preserve and enhance this unity in diversity, which has always been our strength and remains our best hope for the future."
If Mr. Najib is serious about achieving that goal, a long look in the mirror might be in order first. Despite the government's new catchphrase, racial and religious tensions are higher today than when Mr. Najib took office in 2009. Indeed, they are worse than at any time since 1969, when at least 200 people died in racial clashes between the majority Malay and minority Chinese communities. The recent deterioration is due to the troubling fact that the country's leadership is tolerating, and in some cases provoking, ethnic factionalism through words and actions.

WRONG!

1. Ambassador Mallot needs to be educated in the history behind the event in 1969 which led to several deaths, some of which though regretful, were nonetheless necessary in keeping with the original intentions and self-respect of a young, multi-racial country. In the 1969 elections, the DAP and another predominantly Chinese party made huge gains, but not quite the majority to govern. They obtained a permit to hold celebrations. Thousands of Chinese marched through the streets of Kuala Lumpur but diverted from their actual route into Malay dominated areas ridiculing and hurling vulgar insults at them. In another area, it was said that a Malay motorist was forced to help re-board pigs (an animal that’s taboo to Muslims and local Malays) that were overthrown from a truck for allegedly being the cause of an accident by the Chinese folks in the area. In another state, a Malay couple were slaughtered by the Chinese coming out of a cinema. Seeing the true and arrogant character of these Orientals when they seemed to be at an advantage over the rest, the Malay leaders had to take affirmative action to ensure that they know their place in this country showing mutual respect unlike in America where Caucasions like Mr Mallot cowardly force themselves to stand down when they are being insulted and called “white boy” by the Negros and in turn, don’t even dare to inversely call the latter by a name that reflects the colour of their skin.

2. For certain, the current situation in this blessed country reflects nothing of the kind that Mr Mallot tries to present to the Wall Street Journal reading world.

RIGHT

3. There is some truth is his contention that the leadership under Najib Razak is tolerating racial overtures, but only in the beginning. This is because there was some damage control that needed to be administered within the coalition after the disastrous and incompetent handling of the government by the Prime Minister before him who was unable to control the Indian and Chinese allies within the BN. They were being too comfortable shooting their mouths off to the extent of condemning their senior partner UMNO and the Malay agenda in public.

RIGHT

4. Indeed, the government failed before Najib’s tenure as Prime Minister because of the substandard leadership of the various parties within the Barisan Nasional Coalition (BN) representing their own communities, and of course the “ No-standard” leadership qualities of his predecessor Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. The Chinese and Indian leaders within the Coalition were given too much freedom in leading their own people that they forgot how to serve while becoming megalomaniacs behaving like they themselves were on equal standing wielding the same powers as the Prime Minister.

5. These leaders used BN to gain more power for themselves in their respective parties instead of using their parties to improve BN’s standing among the people. Then they extorted BN under the UMNO leadership and slept with the opposition in public statements as well as actions which proved politically fatal for the Presidents of MCA and MIC. Even the GERAKAN President and his party are put in their place by Najib after they barked across racial lines for attention while irresponsibly losing the whole State of Penang. Seriously speaking, at the rate things are going for DAP there, it will take another two elections at least before Penangites can forget GERAKAN’s lousy administration.

6. The problems never lied on the ethnic Chinese nor Indian people of Malaysia. They rested on the heads of their leaders who betrayed their own people for personal power, wealth, fame and glory which cost the BN Government dearly. The Malays are not their enemy. Their own leaders are.

REMEDY

7. Under Najib Razak’s 1 Malaysia, the ethnic political leaders and their positions will be of little significance to Barisan Nasional because Najib and UMNO will be serving all races directly without having to tolerate the monkey business and antics of other party leaders as shown in the numerous by-elections recently. Under this system which serves all, they will be compelled to swim with Najib because without him, it will be with definite certainty that they will sink to the depths of oblivion. This establishment is rising fast in popularity based on its good work and fine people skills; mooted, advocated and practiced by the Prime Minister himself, as well as his equally productive Deputy, Muhyiddin Yassin, whom before this had a more serious demeanor.

For instance, when the Catholic archbishop of Kuala Lumpur invited the prime minister for a Christmas Day open house last December, Hardev Kaur, an aide to Mr. Najib, said Christian crosses would have to be removed. There could be no carols or prayers, so as not to offend the prime minister, who is Muslim. Ms. Kaur later insisted that she "had made it clear that it was a request and not an instruction," as if any Malaysian could say no to a request from the prime minister's office.

RIGHT

8. The Prime Minister graciously accepted the invitation by the Archbishop on Christmas Day out of respect for the people celebrating the occasion. As was stated by Mallot, Najib’s aide made certain requests and they were satisfied by the Archbishop’s office, indicating that the said requests were not entirely outrageous in a country where Islam is the official religion, headed by a Muslim. So if it was graciously accepted by the latter’s office, they should forever hold their peace and so should stubborn former diplomats whom after three years in Malaysia, learnt nothing of its culture and strength.

WRONG

9. The Archbishop's office could have said no to the request from the Prime Minister's office if it was "unChristian" or religiously inappropriate. It would have been understood and respected. People have said no the Prime Minister' s request before. Refer to the losses of the states of Selangor, Penang, Kedah and Perak in 2008. Was that a "YES" to the request by the Prime Minister for a further five year mandate?

10. Malaysia allows freedom of religion, perhaps with more conviction than any other country in the world. It is said to have more Hindu and Buddhist Temples per square kilometre in this country than even in India and China. I am writing this article at 0100 hours amid more than an hour of loud explosive sounds of the high calibred firecrackers imported from China with much tolerance, because it is the Chinese culture that we all share in Malaysia. Would this even be allowed in the residential areas of Washington DC, or even Jonesboro, Arkansas?

11. Religious and cultural tolerance are our strength for as long as we ignore foreign instigators who are non-practicing Preachers of their own doctrine.

Similar examples of insensitivity abound. In September 2009, Minister of Home Affairs Hishammuddin Onn met with protesters who had carried the decapitated head of a cow, a sacred animal in the Hindu religion, to an Indian temple. Mr. Hishammuddin then held a press conference defending their actions. Two months later, Defense Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi told Parliament that one reason Malaysia's armed forces are overwhelmingly Malay is that other ethnic groups have a "low spirit of patriotism." Under public pressure, he later apologized.

WRONG

12. It was reported in the Star online on 3 September 2009, that Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein ordered the police to proceed with investigations and act sternly on those responsible in regard to the cow heads. He was not defending the actions of those guilty of the act, but the main protestors that were not associated with this small group. Hisham was merely controlling the situation from being blown out of context and proportion to maintain law, peace and order in a Nation with a host of sensitivities. If anything, Hisham is well known for kowtowing to Chinese pressure thinking less of the sensitivities of his own people. So this accusation shouldn’t even get past the starting block at all.

13. Mallot conveniently forgot to include how the Muslim Malays forgave a Chinese group of boys who smashed alcoholic beverages into the walls of a Mosque, when under extreme circumstances such as the one described by him regarding the racial situation here, those boys would have been easily slaughtered by even the most neutral of Muslims witnessing them in action.

RIGHT

14. Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s blunder on the lack of Patriotism among non Malays may be beyond defense, though he was not entirely wrong with his statement. He looked even sillier apologizing after standing up in Parliament in arrogance looking cock-sure with his statement. One doesn’t act that way only to apologize under pressure. It doesn’t take a seasoned politician to tell the truth, which is, that positions were opened for applicants of all races. Unfortunately, the number of non-Malays applying for them were significantly insignificant.


The leading Malay language newspaper, Utusan Melayu, prints what opposition leader Lim Kit Siang calls a daily staple of falsehoods that stoke racial hatred. Utusan, which is owned by Mr. Najib's political party, has claimed that the opposition would make Malaysia a colony of China and abolish the Malay monarchy. It regularly attacks Chinese Malaysian politicians, and even suggested that one of them, parliamentarian Teresa Kok, should be killed.

15. I gather from reading the article, either Lim Kit Siang reads Utusan Malaysia more than he does the Chinese Dailies or he understood Malay better than Chinese or whatever dialects their papers are written in. This is because he accuses Utusan of stoking racial hatred when it is full of the same in the Chinese dailies. Perhaps, on this score, Mallot prefers the Malays not to step up to the plate and compete on merit and stand down like the timid Malay servant in the colonial days, serving the Chinese today like they served the “white boys” then.

These Indians Were Worshiping HM Queen Elizabeth For Devine Help In Seeking Justice From Their Indian Leader Within The Barisan Nasional Coalition!

This steady erosion of tolerance is more than a political challenge. It's an economic problem as well.

Once one of the developing world's stars, Malaysia's economy has underperformed for the past decade. To meet its much-vaunted goal of becoming a developed nation by 2020, Malaysia needs to grow by 8% per year during this decade. That level of growth will require major private investment from both domestic and foreign sources, upgraded human skills, and significant economic reform. Worsening racial and religious tensions stand in the way.

RIGHT

16. Malaysia was one of the World's rising developing stars because it was under the dynamic leadership of Dr Mahathir Mohamed whom despite having great economic foresight, was a terrible judge of character (according to a leading journalist, which I agree) when he picked a lame duck to succeed him, whom in just five (5) years, almost completely dismantled twenty two (22) years of Mahathir’s great work setting us back by at least ten (10) years in development having to clean the mess.

WRONG

17. Incompetence was the primary reason for the underperformance, not manageable racial and religious tensions. Under the auspices of Najib’s leadership, foreign investors are streaming in once again, thinking that with a leader with a stable economic acumen, and one who finally has the reigns, it is wise to invest here. They find that even though it’s a little more expensive than building a plant in China, it is still cheaper comparatively with better quality here in Malaysia than in the United States. In short, while we are gaining jobs here, America is losing theirs rather rapidly to China. Perhaps Mallot needs to look into how to address that within his shores.

18. Had Dr Mahathir followed the wisdom of the members of his UMNO party and chosen Najib accordingly to succeed him, Malaysia would have developed faster, perhaps even achieving that status way before Dr Mahathir's dateline of 2020.




Almost 500,000 Malaysians left the country between 2007 and 2009, more than doubling the number of Malaysian professionals who live overseas. It appears that most were skilled ethnic Chinese and Indian Malaysians, tired of being treated as second-class citizens in their own country and denied the opportunity to compete on a level playing field, whether in education, business, or government. Many of these emigrants, as well as the many Malaysian students who study overseas and never return (again, most of whom are ethnic Chinese and Indian), have the business, engineering, and scientific skills that Malaysia needs for its future. They also have the cultural and linguistic savvy to enhance Malaysia's economic ties with Asia's two biggest growing markets, China and India.

WRONG

19. Though Mallot’s statistic is rather suspect, but we wish these Malaysians the very best of luck in their endeavours abroad and like a good number who’ve preferred to return when they brutally discovered that they were treated like third-class citizens ( a class below the alleged level here), they will be welcomed to rejoin the local workforce and their families where they belong. They are not treated second-class citizens here. If they were, they wouldn’t be allowed to attend vernacular schools conducting classes in the language of their forefathers and practice their cultures, no matter how irritating they can be for some. Do they have Hispanic schools in Mallot’s country? Which class of the society do they belong to?

Of course, one could argue that discrimination isn't new for these Chinese and Indians. Malaysia's affirmative action policies for its Malay majority—which give them preference in everything from stock allocation to housing discounts—have been in place for decades. So what is driving the ethnic minorities away now?

First, these minorities increasingly feel that they have lost a voice in their own government. The Chinese and Indian political parties in the ruling coalition are supposed to protect the interests of their communities, but over the past few years, they have been neutered. They stand largely silent in the face of the growing racial insults hurled by their Malay political partners. Today over 90% of the civil service, police, military, university lecturers, and overseas diplomatic staff are Malay. Even TalentCorp, the government agency created in 2010 that is supposed to encourage overseas Malaysians to return home, is headed by a Malay, with an all-Malay Board of Trustees.

WRONG

20. The minorities were never denied their voice. They are just denied a higher tone than appropriate. When it comes to the minority who’re generally material based, the ability to speak is not primary to their being. The continued search for higher net worth is their priority, and we cannot fault them for that. Their exodus is for that cause alone. We wish them well and always open our arms when they return for as long as they don’t give up their citizenship. That is the beauty of freedom, proof of our love for them and that democracy is in full bloom in this country.

21. Naturally, in any country, the majority race will have the important positions while the others either prosper in business or are left to their own disposal. This is evident in our good neighbors Singapore, Indonesia, and even China. Even America produced a number not even worth mentioning of black Generals in its Armed Forces. The welcomed yet accidental victory of Barrack Obama as President was because the Republicans and the Clinton team failed to see the importance of the new media and the internet population. And he is not even a full red blooded African American having a Caucasion mother.

Second, economic reform and adjustments to the government's affirmative action policies are on hold. Although Mr. Najib held out the hope of change a year ago with his New Economic Model, which promised an "inclusive" affirmative action policy that would be, in Mr. Najib's words, "market friendly, merit-based, transparent and needs-based," he has failed to follow through. This is because of opposition from right-wing militant Malay groups such as Perkasa, which believe that a move towards meritocracy and transparency threatens what they call "Malay rights."

WRONG

22. The economic reform is not on hold. Prime Minister Najib has relaxed some of the sectors in the economy whereby the rigid 30 percent Bumiputera equity no longer became mandatory and several other inclusive economic packages. Further pressure from ungrateful minority leaders will not help in expediting the process and opening new horizons. They take time to adopt. Nothing changes overnight! It took America 233 years to see a half-black -half-white President and Commander-in-Chief (222 years if ones dates it after the adoption of the Constitution).

But stalling reform will mean a further loss in competitiveness and slower growth. It also means that the cronyism and no-bid contracts that favor the well-connected will continue. All this sends a discouraging signal to many young Malaysians that no matter how hard they study or work, they will have a hard time getting ahead.


WRONG

23. Young Malaysians have no problem getting jobs in this country unless they want to take the shortcut by dreaming of getting contracts that they know absolutely nothing about. Being well connected shouldn’t be a curse and while it is celebrated and encouraged, today’s leadership emphasizes on one’s ability to perform and not one’s close proximity with the powers that be. The Civil Service many of whom also support the opposition has been given much power where Cabinet ministers prefer to rely on their advocate before making a decision.

24. Could the cronyism and no-bid contracts that Mallot was referring to, be like the Halliburton Company that got contracts in Iraq by the former US administration due to their excellent connections?

Mr. Najib may not actually believe much of the rhetoric emanating from his party and his government's officers, but he tolerates it because he needs to shore up his Malay base. It's politically convenient at a time when his party faces its most serious opposition challenge in recent memory—and especially when the opposition is challenging the government on ethnic policy and its economic consequences. One young opposition leader, parliamentarian Nurul Izzah Anwar, the daughter of former deputy prime minister Anwar Ibrahim, has proposed a national debate on what she called the alternative visions of Malaysia's future—whether it should be a Malay nation or a Malaysian nation. For that, she earned the wrath of Perkasa; the government suggested her remark was "seditious."


WRONG

25. If indeed Najib Razak tolerates the rhetoric, it is not for the need to shore up Malay support because the good majority of them already know that his ability to lead with his loyal and able Deputy at hand to support him is Malaysia’s final hope. The tolerance mentioned is to fend off equally aggressive pressure from the minority leaders breaching our trust and camaraderie, taking advantage of the short spell of weakness in leadership of Dr Mahathir’s successor Abdullah Badawi.

26. Mallot needs to redeem his credentials and withdraw his advertisement for Nurul Izzah MP’s proposed national debate on whether Malaysia should be a Malay or Malaysian nation. In their recently soiled party elections, her father-and-mother’s party of Keadilan couldn’t even afford a space to non-Malays to contest the top posts other than minor positions acting as servants to their family cause. If I have a compliment to present at all to Anwar Ibrahim and his family, it is their ability to turn this “white boy” Mallot into one of their associate servants serving in a foreign “mansion”.

Malaysia's government might find it politically expedient to stir the racial and religious pot, but its opportunism comes with an economic price tag. Its citizens will continue to vote with their feet and take their money and talents with them. And foreign investors, concerned about racial instability and the absence of meaningful economic reform, will continue to look elsewhere to do business.


WRONG

27. This is a price that we can afford to pay because the “rich” minority will soon discover that it is to their benefit not to antagonize the majority Malays, and decide to maintain their wealth and roots here, coming to their senses. They have more to lose than the Malays because the opportunity to prosper in Malaysia for them is like no other in the world, and that’s a bankable fact!

28. Foreign investors take into consideration the valid safety of their long term investments in any country. They will send feelers and forensic economic investigators and advisors to the nations of their choice and not rely on one article by a washed-up diplomat just because it’s written in the Wall Street Journal.

29. Malaysia is still the most conducive country to invest in this region. It is rich with natural resources; still fairly cheap in labour; free from terrorism; with political stability; no catastrophic weather and extreme geographical conditions; and under Najib Razak, an intelligent leader who knows his worth, consistent in its sound policies.

30. Though Ambassador Mallot May Have Wasted His Tour Of Duty Here, Not Learning Anything About The Country He Was Commissioned To Serve In, Perhaps These 30 Points May Be Used As Cliffsnotes For Him And His Like As A Quick Study Guide To Better Understand The Political And Social Culture Of This Blessed Nation.

JAWAPAN TUN DR MAHATHIR KEPADA NIK AZIZ

JAWAPAN KEPADA NIK AZIZ
By Dr. Mahathir Mohamad on February 16, 2011 11:45 AM

1. Percubaan Dato Nik Aziz untuk memperingatkan saya bahawa saya akan berdiri dihadapan Allah s.w.t. satu masa nanti sedikit sebanyak membuktikan keangkuhannya seolah-olah saya tidak tahu akan agama saya. Saya juga beriman dengan hakikat bahawa setiap apa yang dipertuturkan dan diperbuat di dunia ini akan diadili di akhirat nanti.

2. Nik Aziz juga akan berdiri dihadapan Allah satu masa nanti dan segala yang dipertutur dan dilakukan olehnya di dunia ini akan diadili di akhirat nanti dan lidah, tangan dan kaki Nik Aziz akan jadi saksi. Bukan bagi Nik Aziz untuk mengadili saya atau sesiapa dan bukan Nik Aziz yang akan mengadili dirinya sendiri.

3. Sehingga kita diadili di akhirat kita tidak boleh dengan angkuhnya merasa kita tidak berdosa dan orang lain yang berdosa. Allah s.w.t. sahaja yang mengetahui segala dosa yang dilakukan oleh sesiapa, termasuk Nik Aziz. Dakwaan Nik Aziz yang dianya beriman, setelah mengkafir dan memecahbelah orang Islam, membuat berbagai-bagai tuduhan, akan ditentukan oleh Allah s.w.t. Tidak memadai dengan pengakuan Nik Aziz yang dianya beriman.

4. Saya tidak pernah dakwa yang saya ini selalunya betul dan tetap ke syurga. Saya juga tidak suruh sesiapa menyokong atau mengundi saya kerana itu akan menjamin mereka akan ke syurga di akhirat. Yang membuat dakwaan seperti ini ialah Nik Aziz.

5. Dalam Islam tidak ada paderi yang boleh ampunkan sesiapa, atau menjamin balasan di akhirat kelak. Di Tenang Nik Aziz secara terbuka menghukum orang UMNO sebagai Jahiliah.

6. Untuk tidak menjadi Jahiliah sokonglah PAS. Apakah ulama-ulama Islam yang tidak punyai kepentingan politik sudah putuskan bahawa syarat untuk menjadi orang Islam ialah menyokong PAS? Di manakah dalam Al-Quran dan Hadith yang sahih yang menyebut bahawa hanya dengan menyokong PAS baharulah seseorang itu beragama Islam? Kalau ini benar nenek moyang siapa yang jahil kerana tidak ada PAS masa mereka? Orang Islam lain di luar Malaysia sudah tentu bukan Islam kerana tidak ada PAS di negara mereka.

7. Orang UMNO adalah orang yang beragama Islam, walaupun bagi Nik Aziz mereka bukan Islam kerana tidak sokong PAS. Dunia mengiktiraf bahawa orang Melayu termasuk ahli UMNO dan ahli PAS juga adalah orang Islam. UMNO tidak mendakwa bahawa hanya orang UMNO sahaja yang Islam, atau dengan mengundi UMNO menjadi Islam dan akan ke syurga.

8. Oleh kerana orang UMNO beragama Islam maka perjuangan UMNO ialah untuk bangsa, agama (Islam) dan negara. Demikianlah pegangan UMNO kepada Islam sehingga Perlembagaan ciptaan UMNO mensyaratkan seseorang itu adalah Melayu jika dianya beragama Islam. Nik Aziz tidak akan memasukkan syarat ini kerana Melayu boleh jadi jahiliah dan tidak Islam kerana tidak sokong PAS.

9. Asas Islam mungkin tidak sama dengan nasionalisme. Penganut-penganut agama lain juga boleh jadi nasionalis. Ini tidak bermakna nasionalis Islam tidak Islam. Nasionalis yang terdiri daripada orang Islam memang berjuang untuk menegakkan agama Islam, memelihara negara Islam dan menjaga kehormatan agama Islam.

10. Mustafa Kemal Ataturk tidak menitik berat ke-Islamannya. Dia adalah seorang nasionalis. Pada masa dia berperang untuk negaranya, Turki dikuasai oleh orang Greek Kristian. Kerana nasionalismenya yang amat kuat, dia berperang sehingga Turki kembali ditakluk dan diperintah oleh orang Turki.

11. Dengan menyelamatkan Turki daripada orang Greek agama Islam terpelihara sehingga ke hari ini dan ke-Islaman orang Turki kekal. Sudah tentu Nik Aziz tidak akan akui orang Islam Turki adalah Islam.

12. Tidak ada keangkuhan yang lebih daripada seorang yang memikir dia sahaja Islam dan orang Islam lain tidak Islam dan tidak beriman kepada Allah s.w.t.

13. Terselamatnya banyak negara Islam yang dahulu dijajah adalah hasil perjuangan nasionalis Islam. Mereka nasionalis kerana mereka masing-masing sayang dan setia kepada negara mereka sahaja. Jika mereka hanya berjuang untuk Islam maka tumpuan mereka tentulah kepada membebaskan seluruh umat Islam tanpa mengira bangsa atau negara. Tetapi hakikatnya mereka tidak berjuang untuk negara Malaysia dan agama Islam di sini. Yang berjuang untuk membebaskan negara kita dengan agama Islam di sini ialah nasionalis Islam Melayu.

14. Nik Aziz sendiri berjuang hanya di Malaysia dan tidak di seluruh dunia Islam yang hari ini menghadapi pelbagai jenis penindasan dan tekanan. Walaupun Nik Aziz mendakwa bahawa dia berjuang untuk Islam, tetapi dengan menghadkan perjuangannya kepada negara ini dia juga adalah nasionalis sama seperti nasionalis dalam UMNO. Jika orang UMNO jahil kerana nasionalisme mereka, Nik Aziz juga jahil kerana sebab yang sama.

15. Apakah nasionalis Melayu Islam tidak pernah menyatakan tujuan hidup ini? Jika Nik Aziz membuka mata dan telinga, mungkin dia akan melihat perjuangan UMNO untuk Islam secara yang terpampang dihadapannya dan mendengar segala yang diperkatakan oleh pemimpin dan ahli UMNO berkenaan perjuangan untuk Islam, orang Islam dan negara Islam. Saya tidak perlu ulang tujuan hidup nasionalis Islam Melayu ialah mengabdikan diri kepada Allah s.w.t. dengan membuat ibadah tertentu, memelihara orang Islam dan agama islam bukan sahaja di Malaysia tetapi dimana sahaja orang Islam ditindas. Tuhan yang akan menilai pengabdian nasionalis Melayu Islam dan bukan Nik Aziz.

16. Sebaliknya apa yang keluar dari bibir Nik Aziz sebagai tujuan hidupnya ialah untuk memenangi pilihanraya dan menjadi pemerintah bersama DAP dan PKR. Untuk ini Nik Aziz secara terbuka sanggup mengkafirkan orang Islam UMNO, bersedia untuk bekerjasama dengan syaitan untuk menjayakan perjuangannya, bekerjasama dengan orang yang menolak perjuangannya untuk mendirikan negara Islam ala PAS, mempertahankan pendapat tokoh bukan Islam supaya orang Islam longgarkan pegangan mereka kepada ajaran agama Islam. Harapan Nik Aziz ialah dengan melakukan semua ini orang bukan Islam di Malaysia akan sokong partinya dalam pilihanraya. Bukan Islam yang diutamakan, bukan mengabdikan diri kepada Allah, tetapi kemenangan dalam pilihanraya.

17. Bolehkah Nik Aziz baca apa yang ada dalam hati orang Melayu UMNO Islam apabila mereka mengucap dua kalimah syahadah? Apakah Nik Aziz tahu apa yang ada dalam hati seseorang apabila dia berniat dalam hati semasa solat dan masa-masa lain. Apakah Nik Aziz percaya dia adalah manusia luarbiasa yang tahu apa ada dalam hati seseorang yang tidak sama dengan apa yang disebut olehnya?

18. Kuasa ini hanya ada pada Allah s.w.t. Adakah Nik Aziz juga mempunyai kuasa ini? Apakah pandangan Islam terhadap orang yang mendakwa dia boleh baca apa yang ada dalam hati manusia sepertimana Allah s.w.t. boleh membacanya.

19. Apakah dasar pejuangan UMNO telah saya jelaskan. Islam tidak menyuruh kita hanya membuat ibadat tertentu sahaja. Mempertahankan umat Islam di Malaysia adalah satu daripada yang diwajibkan ke atas orang Islam. Sebab itu orang yang terbunuh mempertahankan orang Islam dan negara mereka termasuk dalam golongan syahid.

20. Apakah usaha yang dibuat oleh Kerajaan pimpinan nasionalis Melayu Islam supaya keupayaan menyelamatkan umat Islam dan agama Islam di Malaysia ada pada negara ini tidak menepati satu daripada kewajipan orang Islam? Untuk pengetahuan Nik Aziz Kerajaan pimpinan Melayu Islam nasionalis berjaya menolong orang Islam bukan sahaja di Malaysia tetapi di negara tertentu sehingga serangan keatas mereka terpaksa dihentikan.

21. Untuk menunaikan kewajipan ini negara harus mempunyai kewangan yang cukup yang datang daripada peningkatan ekonomi negara. Akan mampukah kita menunaikan kewajipan ini jika kita papa kedana, selalu meminta-minta dan mengemis daripada orang lain. Perjuangan untuk membangunkan negara supaya pertahanannya lebih kukuh adalah kewajipan orang Islam. Tidak mencukupi jika kita hanya berdoa meminta pertolongan Allah s.w.t.

22. Apakah benar UMNO menghapuskan Jawi sehingga kita tidak dapat membaca Al-Quran? Tidakkah Kerajaan UMNO mengadakan sekolah agama, mata pelajaran Islam yang menggunakan tulisan Jawi? Kenapakah Harakah menggunakan tulisan Rumi? Bagaimanakah terdapat lebih ramai yang mempelajari agama sehingga ke peringkat universiti jika generasi ini buta Al-Quran, tidak boleh baca Jawi.

23. Peruntukan kepada sekolah agama rakyat dihentikan kerana bukan agama yang diajar di sekolah-sekolah ini tetapi politik pecah-belah parti PAS.

24. Tidak pernah saya membuat tuduhan yang Nik Aziz menyebabkan parti UMNO diharamkan, atau penubuhan Semangat 46 atau Parti Keadilan. Tetapi yang jelas ialah PAS memberi sokongan kuat kepada serpihan ini kerana gemar melihat perpecahan dan pengharaman UMNO.

25. Benarkah Islam menerima pecah belah sebagai satu perkara yang pasti berlaku seperti Nik Aziz katakan?

26. Tafsiran ayat 36 dalam Surah Al-Baqarah berbunyi demikian; "Setelah itu maka syaitan menggelincirkan mereka berdua (Adam dan Hawa) daripada syurga itu dan menyebabkan mereka dikeluarkan daripada nikmat yang mereka telah berada di dalamnya; dan kami berfirman, "Turunlah kamu. Sebahagian dari (keturunan) kamu menjadi musuh kepada sebahagian daripada yang lain; dan bagi kamu semua disediakan tempat kediaman di bumi, serta mendapat kesenangan hingga ke suatu masa (mati)".

27. Ayat ini adalah berkenaan umat manusia yang sering berpecah belah dan bermusuh-musuhan sesama mereka.

28. Rujukan oleh Nik Aziz kepada ayat ini secara tidak langsung menjadi pengakuan oleh Nik Aziz yang dianya memang terlibat dengan pecah belah orang Melayu Islam.

29. Khusus bagi orang Islam, Allah s.w.t. berfirman (Ayat 10 Surah Al-Hujarat); "Innamalmukminu na ikhwana..." iaitu orang-orang yang beriman (mukmin) itu adalah bersaudara.

30. Ayat itu diteruskan dan maksudnya ialah, "maka damaikanlah antara dua saudara kamu (yang bertelagah) itu, dan bertaqwalah kepada Allah supaya kamu beroleh rahmat."

31. Allah s.w.t. berfirman lagi dalam Al-Quran (Ayat 103, Surah Ali-Imran); "Dan berpeganglah kamu pada tali Allah (Al-Quran) dan janganlah kamu bercerai berai..."

32. Tak mungkin Nik Aziz tidak tahu akan ayat-ayat ini. Lebih mungkin Nik Aziz lupa dalam keghairahan menyalahguna agama untuk menghalalkan perbuatan yang ditegah. Yang jelas ialah Islam tidak menyuruh perpecahan di kalangan umat Islam.

33. Nabi Muhammad tidak memecah-belah orang Islam. Utbah bin Rabiah mengecam Nabi kerana agama Islam yang dibawa Baginda memecah belah kaum Quraisy (yang pada masa itu bukan semuanya Islam) kerana sebahagian daripada mereka telah memeluk agama Islam. Janganlah Nik Aziz banding dirinya dan apa yang dilakukan olehnya sama dengan Baginda Rasulullah. Baginda telah cuba menyatupadu orang Quraisy melalui Islam tetapi Nik Aziz menyeru supaya orang yang sudahpun Islam berpecah tiga dengan niat untuk melemahkan UMNO, musuh politik PAS.

34. UMNO tidak menculik ADUN PAS. Sebaliknya permusuhan antara pemimpin PAS Terengganu menyebabkan beberapa daripada mereka meninggalkan PAS untuk menyertai UMNO. Hari ini pun terlihat banyak peristiwa seperti ini berlaku. Jika mana-mana ahli PAS yang berpisah dari PAS untuk menyertai UMNO dan kemudian balik kepada PAS itu adalah pilihan mereka. Tidak ada paksaan atau tekanan dengan menyalahguna agama oleh UMNO untuk mendapat orang PAS.

35. Saya tidak tahu ada pilihanraya pada tahun 2003. Yang ada ialah Pilihanraya Umum 2004, di waktu mana saya bukan lagi Perdana Menteri dan PAS kalah teruk.

36. PAS tidak harus lupa di Memali enam orang anggota polis ditembak mati oleh pengganas Memali. Itulah sebabnya polis terpaksa tembak balas.

37. Iqraq ditafsir sebagai "baca". Membaca tetap akan memberi kita tambahan ilmu. Sebab itu intelek Islam dizaman dahulu mengejar ilmu dengan membaca dalam bahasa Greek ilmu yang diterokai oleh mereka itu. Tak mungkin mereka membaca tulisan Greek dengan mengguna bahasa Arab.

38. Selepas menguasai ilmu yang diterokai oleh orang Greek, orang India, Parsi dan lain-lain maka dapatlah intelek Islam menambah kepada ilmu sains dan matematik dengan hasil kajian mereka. Dengan itu juga bahasa Arab menjadi bahasa ilmu.

39. Orang Eropah terpaksa mempelajari bahasa Arab untuk menguasai ilmu mereka. Sementara itu orang Islam (Arab) menolak ilmu yang kononnya sekular, kerana kononnya tidak berkaitan dengan agama.

40. Ilmu terkini yang diterokai oleh bangsa Eropah ditulis hampir semuanya dalam bahasa Inggeris.

41. Sains dan matematik tidak seperti ilmu lain. Sains dan Matematik memperkenal banyak ilmu baru hasil kajian yang dibuat sepanjang masa. Semua hasil ini dihebah dalam bahasa Inggeris. Kita tidak mempunyai cukup pakar yang terlatih dalam bidang-bidang sains tertentu yang fasih dalam bahasa Inggeris dan Melayu untuk menterjemah beribu-ribu kertas kajian (research papers) dalam bahasa Inggeris. Sebaliknya jika ilmu baru ini tidak dikuasai oleh orang Melayu, bahkan orang Islam, mereka akan ketinggalan jauh kebelakang, menjadi mundur dan lemah, mudah dipermain orang.

42. Bolehkah Nik Aziz perkenalkan seorang Melayu yang mempelajari Sains hanya dalam Bahasa Melayu yang mampu menulis kertas atau memahami tulisan berkenaan dengan nano sains atau theory of relativity atau perkiraan yang diperlukan untuk menghantar space shuttle supaya menemui dan dipasang kepada International Space Station.

43. Pada pendapat Nik Aziz apakah hanya dengan mengguna bahasa Melayu dalam mempelajari sains dan matematik kita akan jadi lebih Islam? Apakah Nik Aziz berpendapat dengan mengguna bahasa Malayu maka kita lebih Melayu, lebih setia kepada bangsa, lebih nasionalis, sedangkan Nik Aziz mendakwa Melayu tidak penting asalkan kita Islam, dan nasionalisme menjadikan kita kurang Islam. Apakah minat Nik Aziz kepada pengajaran dalam bahasa Melayu tidak mencerminkan sifat Nik Aziz sebagai seorang nasionalis juga, sama seperti orang UMNO. Nik Aziz harus tuntut supaya Sains dan Matematik diajar dalam bahasa Arab, bukan bahasa Melayu.

44. Islam tidak akan sempurna tanpa iman kata Nik Aziz. Saya tahu dan orang UMNO tahu. Tetapi bagaimana Nik Aziz boleh tahu seseorang Islam sempurna imannya atau tidak? Allah s.w.t. tahu tetapi apakah Nik Aziz mempunyai kebolehan seperti Allah Ta'ala?

45. Apakah Abdullah bin Ubay di zaman Rasulullah tidak berjasa kepada Islam apabila dia membina Masjid Dhirar? Jika membina sekolah agama tidak bermakna UMNO berjasa kepada Islam, kenapakah saya dikecam apabila peruntukan kepada sekolah agama ditarik balik setelah sekolah dijadikan pusat mengembangkan ideologi PAS untuk membenci UMNO?

46. Apakah oleh kerana di Thailand juga wujud sekolah-sekolah agama (yang dibangun oleh orang Islam) maka ini bermakna pembinaan sekolah agama oleh UMNO tidak bermakna berjasa kepada Islam. Apabila PAS mendirikan sekolah agama apakah PAS berjasa kepada Islam? Atau berjasa kepada parti?

47. Arak sekarang dijual dibawah pemerintahan PAS. Besar atau kecil tidak bermakna kebenaran menjual arak tidak bertentangan dengan Islam.

48. Judi dan arak memang haram bagi Islam. Saya jemput Nik Aziz secara terbuka tuntut rakan karibnya DAP supaya sekarang ini, sebagai anggota dalam Pakatan Rakyat yang akan memerintah negara ini membuat pengakuan tertentu yang Kerajaan campuran Pakatan akan haramkan judi dan penjualan arak, disamping menerima hukum Hudud. Jika DAP enggan membuat kenyataan ini sanggupkah PAS mendakwa akan kalahkan calon DAP? Atau apakah PAS akan membisu berkenaan dengan negara Islam PAS, hukum Hudud, pengharaman judi dan arak kerana bukan dasar dan tujuan perjuangan PAS yang penting tetapi kemenangan dalam PRU dengan pertolongan DAP yang penting?

49. Akhir kata saya akui pengetahuan agama Nik Aziz dalam tetapi alangkah baiknya jika Nik Aziz berhenti daripada menyalahguna dan menyalah tafsir Islam demi kepentingan politik diri sendiri. Tidak ada sesiapa yang dapat lari daripada hari pengadilan yang dijanjikan oleh Allah s.w.t.

50. Justeru itu bertaqwalah kepada Allah s.w.t. dan hentikanlah mengeliru umat Islam di Malaysia kerana ingin menang pilihanraya.

Tun Mahathir Kantoi Menipu!!! Karpal Singh Bercakap Benar!!!

Tun Mahathir Kantoi Menipu!!! Karpal Singh Bercakap Benar!!!

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2011

Karpal Singh meroyan royan bila Tun Mahathir menemplak kenyataan sekutu Karpal SIngh iaitu Kit Siang berhubung Operasi Lalang yang di lakukan pada tahun 1987 hinga 1989.

Karpal Singh menyatakan:

"Jika Dr Mahathir tidak menyahut cabaran saya kepadanya dalam masa tujuh hari, ia mesti dianggap bahawa Dr Mahathir tidak bercakap benar... Ini adalah perkara yang sangat serius bagi seorang mantan perdana menteri berbohong secara terbuka," tambahnya.

Hua hua hua....Ehhh karpal Singh ni Gila ke?

Tun Mahathir di katakan Berbohong di khalayak umum tapi Karpal Singh dah menipu Rakyat Malaysia malah menipu kepada seluruh ahli Pakatan Rakyat yang Anwar Ibrahim sebenarnya merupakan seorang PELIWAT.

Kenyataan Karpal pada tahun1997:

Menurut Hansard Parlimen bertarikh 6 Oktober 1997, Karpal pernah bertanya soalan ringkas, soalan No 29 : Sejauh manakah perkembangan siasatan polis berkenaan dengan satu laporan yang dibuat oleh salah seorang pegawai Anwar di atas tuduhan salah laku yang dilemparkan kepadanya.

Hansard Parlimen bertarikh 22 Oktober 1997, Karpal mencabar Anwar tampil membuat penjelasan untuk membersihkan namanya berkaitan dengan surat salah lakunya :

Baru-baru ini, Yang Amat Berhormat, Timbalan Perdana Menteri pun ada beberapa tuduhan yang dibuat oleh dua orang, seorang adalah pemandu kereta (Azizan Abu Bakar) Yang Amat Berhormat Timbalan Perdana Menteri, kalau saya tidak silap, dan seorang lagi adik kepada political secretary beliau (Ummi Hafilda Ali). Kedua-dua mereka telah berjumpa saya dalam bulan Ogos (1997), berjumpa kerana nyawa mereka dalam membahaya.

Mereka jumpa saya menyatakan apa yang terjadi dan apa yang telah dilafazkan oleh kedua-dua mereka ini merupakan isi kandungan dalam dua surat yang dihantar kepada Yang Amat Berhormat Perdana Menteri sendiri.

Tuduhan-tuduhan yang dibuat oleh kedua-dua ini adalah serius terhadap maruah seorang pemimpin dalam negara ini, ‘bad warning’, kerana Yang Amat Berhormat, Timbalan Perdana Menteri adalah bakal Perdana Menteri bagi negara ini. Oleh itu, tidak ada pilihan lain kecuali satu pilihan iaitu membersihkan namanya.

Jika itu, bukan surat layang, biasanya perkara-perkara seperti ini, berlaku dalam surat layang. Tetapi dalam hal ini, kedua-dua surat ini ditandatangani oleh orang-orang tertentu, orang-orang yang telah diberkas oleh polis. (Ummi Hafilda dan Azizan Abu Bakar)

Jika tidak ada apa-apa asas, dan yang ditulis dalam surat itu tidak ada benar dalam pertuduhan ini, terdapat peruntukan dalam undang-undang khasnya Kanun Keseksaan Seksyen 500-Defamation.

Jika seorang membuat fitnah yang serius, itu menjadi kesalahan, seseorang itu boleh didakwa dalam mahkamah, disabitkan dan dipenjarakan.

Kenapa Yang Amat Berhormat, Timbalan Perdana Menteri memilih cara itu. Beliau membuat satu laporan polis, apa yang telah dibuat baru-baru ini adalah satu laporan polis daripada pejabat Yang Amat Berhormat Timbalan Perdana Menteri. Kenapa Yang Amat Berhormat Timbalan Perdana Menteri sendiri tidak membuat laporan polis.

Hansard Parlimen bertarikh 18 Disember 1997 pula, merekodkan nada Karpal lebih keras dengan mendedahkan isu kandungan pengakuan bersumpah Azizan Abu Bakar yang mengaku diliwat serta mendesak Azizan dipanggil di parlimen membuktikan kata-katanya benar.

Ini adalah satu perkara yang telah saya bangkitkan dalam dewan yang mulia ini pada 22 Oktober tahun ini. Ini mengenai dua surat yang ditulis kepada Yang Amat Berhormat Perdana Menteri.

Satunya adalah ini, Tuan Speaker, jika saya boleh baca, ‘Pengakuan Bersumpah oleh seorang, Azizan Bin Abu Bakar.’ Pada 22 Oktober,

Bolehkan Peguam Negara mengambil tindakan terhadap perkara ini. Pertama, mendakwa orang yang menulis surat ini jika surat ini tidak benar. Bolehkan Timbalan Perdana Menteri membiarkan dakwaan serius seperti dalam surat bersumpah berlaku ?

Butir-butir surat sumpah ini dan saya merayu kepada Timbalan Perdana Menteri untuk mengambil tindakan. Apa yang beliau (Anwar) jawab adalah perkara ini dalam tangan Peguam Negara.

Tuan Speaker, hari ini adalah hari terakhir persidangan dewan ini. Sampai sekarang tidak ada apa-apa penjelasan daripada Peguam Negara. Tohmahan yang dibuat ke atas Timbalan Perdana Menteri adalah serius, saya baca bukan semua bahagian, tetapi apa yang penting di sini:

‘Pengakuan Bersumpah Dengan Nama Allah Yang Maha Pemurah, lagi Maha Pengasih. Saya Azizan bin Abu Bakar dengan ini membuat pengakuan bersumpah bahawa saya telah menjadi mangsa hubungan sejenis yakni homoseksual dengan Anwar bin Ibrahim yang kini memangku jawatan Timbalan Perdana Menteri, perbuatan terkutuk ini telah dilakukan untuk beberapa kali sekitar tahun 1992 tanpa kerelaan saya. Ianya kerap berlaku di hotel-hotel mewah seperti PJ Hilton, Hyatt Saujana dan Holiday Villa tanpa pengetahuan umum dan isterinya. Buat makluman, saya merupakan bekas pemandu peribadi kepada isterinya Datin Seri Wan Azizah…

Apa yang saya bangkitkan hari ini, sampai hari ini tidak ada keputusan daripada Peguam Negara. Kenapa?

Buktikan saya boleh panggil orang ini, Azizan Abu Bakar ke dewan ini….

Siapa yang berbohong? Kita tuntut Karpal juga memberikan Penjelasan dalam masa 6 hari bermula hari ini dengan menyatakan pendirian nya akan Isu yang di bangkitkan sendiri oleh Karpal pada tahun 1997 yang menyatakan Anwar Ibrahim Meliwat.

So amacam Karpal Singh? Juak pakatan macam mana? tak nak desak Karpal Jelaskan kepada kita semua akan Kebenaran nya?


Psssttt...Karpal Singh yang Bodoh....ni lah Singh yang Otak nya Tepu elok lagi Ranjit Singh!

Kah Kah Kah
Semua Kena Auta Dengan Karpal Singh
Padan Muka

JOHN MALLOT’S WSJ ARTICLE: A RESPONSE

JOHN MALLOT’S WSJ ARTICLE: A RESPONSE

John Mallot has waded into the debate on Malaysian race relations with half an analysis when obviously a fuller one would have been of greater service to the discourse. Granted, his piece was intended more than anything else to be a critique of Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak’s handling of the current situation in the country. However, in doing so, he has highlighted only the non-Malay responses to what is described as Malay racism. This is very misleading and the reason for my saying that he had written only half an analysis of the situation.

A more robust and honest assessment of race relations in Malaysia would take into account the fact that what appears to be Malay racism is in itself a response to non-Malay racism against Malays. Yes, two wrongs do not make a right. But as the Malay saying goes, “It takes both hands to clap”. That is to say, Mallot’s article runs the risk of completely absolving non-Malays from any responsibility in the racial predicament that the country is in. That is nothing less than avoiding reality and counter-productive to any effort to improve race relations in Malaysia. Malays have their grievances too against the Chinese. The fact that they seldom get aired does not make those grievances any less legitimate or valid.

Education for the very young is one obvious area where racist attitudes can be nipped in the bud. The importance for racial integration to begin at a young age is recognised, so much so that in the 1960s and 70s, the U.S. supreme court sanctioned the forced busing of students in order to break down the racial segregation between white and African-American schools. That was in America. In Malaysia, a different approach towards early education was adopted. In concession to the non-Malays, especially the Chinese, vernacular education was retained as part of the national school system. The liberalism was well-intentioned and in line with the spirit of Malaysia’s constitution whereby minority communities are given the right to use and develop their own languages.

In practice, and perhaps this was unforeseen by Malaysia’s founding fathers, the national-vernacular dichotomy in the school system has resulted in precisely the kind of early-age racial segregation that the busing laws, upheld by the U.S. supreme court justices, sought to eradicate in America. While desegregation of schools may or may not result in greater racial integration, segregation virtually guarantees that there will be no racial integration.

The racial polarisation that we see so shamelessly capitalised on by politicians in Malaysia today is partly, if not wholly, attributable to that segregation in the school system. When you see not a few non-Malays unashamedly, even proudly, declaring that they cannot properly speak Malay, the national language, you can bet your life that these are the ones who graduated from the vernacular schools. This is forty-four years after Malay was declared the national language.

The Chinese community jealously guard the existence of the vernacular schools, implicitly reinforcing the message of their racial and cultural separateness and exclusivity but yet insist that they should not be looked at as the ‘other’ by Malays. For many Malays, including this writer, that smacks of having your cake and eating it too.

Often the excuse given by the Chinese for insisting that their children go to vernacular schools and for more such schools to be built is the poor quality of national schools. Surely the solution is not to build more racially-segregated schools but to join hands with Malays and Indians in insisting and ensuring that the quality of national schools be improved for the benefit of children of all ethnicities. Perhaps that is considered such an outlandishly ‘out-of-the-racial box’ thinking that I have never heard any Chinese make that call.

Any sincere and honest effort to improve race relations has to take cognizance of the fact that racism exists in and racial discrimination is practised, to one extend or another, by all the races in Malaysia.

However, my own honest observation is that the Chinese never want to admit or acknowledge their own racism against Malays or other races.

Official and overt discriminatory policies can easily be criticised as institutionalised racism but covert racial discriminations by their very nature are harder to pinpoint. That does not mean they don’t exist or any less invidious than the former.

When a “Mandarin speakers only” requirement is stated in job advertisements, even for jobs which do not conceivably require much language skills, that surely is equivalent to saying “Chinese only”. But you will be hard put to find any Chinese who would admit that the practice is racially discriminatory.

When Malaysia’s most famous blogger, Raja Petra Kamaruddin, related some years ago in his blog how Chinese businesses ganged up to ensure the failure of his motorcycle dealership, none of his Chinese readers cared to acknowledge that he was the victim of racism. His was probably just the tip of the iceberg of similar cases.

And it’s always with a mixture of amusement and sadness when I read the many comments in the internet from non-Malays complaining about the racial policies of the Malaysian government which scarcely conceal their own racism towards Malays in general. If Mr Mallot doubts the truth of what I am saying, he should read the comments that followed the publication of his recent article in Malaysian news portals.

To many Malays, given the refusal of non-Malays to even acknowledge their own racism, the prospect of a rollback in whatever few affirmative action policies left on the plate appears to be concessions which are unlikely to be matched in a similar spirit by the Chinese in the spheres that they predominate, namely the commercial and economic.

If Najib can be accused of pandering to militant Malay groups, Chinese political leaders in the government and opposition too can be accused of pandering to their racial constituency.

In my lifetime, I have yet to hear of any Chinese leader asking that the Chinese to join in and contribute towards the betterment of national schools. I have yet to hear of one calling for Chinese businesses to assist or at least not to gang up against their fellow non-Chinese businesses or to not practice discrimination in their employment policies.

Mallot failed to take into account one side of the equation in his brief exposition of the race relations situation in Malaysia. Hopefully, I have managed to redress that and allow a better understanding of why things are the way they are in Malaysia.

It would have been more gracious of Mallot if he had used his relationship with Malaysians during his tenure as a diplomat to impart his country's experience and firm action with regard to vigilance against the emergence of the evil that is racism, than to make things worse by dogmatically adopting the attitude that sympathising with the minority makes one righteous.
