Zaid: Henti lagakan Melayu-bukan Melayu
Chan Kok Leong | Mar 14, 08 8:34pm
Bekas pemimpin Umno, Datuk Zaid Ibrahim menggesa ahli-ahli politik - di pihak kerajaan dan pembangkang - supaya berhenti membakar sentimen perkauman ekoran kekalahan teruk Barisan Nasional (BN) dalam pilihanraya umum 8 Mac lalu.
"Lanskap politik telah banyak berubah dan ini adalah masa yang berbahaya jika ia dieksploitasi oleh mereka yang tidak bertanggungjawab dan bersikap perkauman ," katanya dalam temubual dengan Malaysiakini semalam.
Di peringkat ini, katanya, keadaannya tidak menentu, dengan hubungan kaum tidak begitu baik dan perpaduan nasional tidak wujud, maka kedua-dua pihak patut mengelak daripada membuat kenyataan yang berunsur emosi.
Zaid yang tidak terpilih untuk mempertahankan kerusi parlimen Kota Bharu, berkata beliau telah menerima banyak SMS yang menyebarkan bahawa orang Melayu sudah hilang kuasa.
"Dan media arus perdana juga tidak membantu perkara itu apabila mereka berkata orang Melayu telah hilang 'ketuanan Melayu'. Kita baru sahaja kalah satu pilihanraya. Masih ada lagi pilihanraya pada masa depan.
"Jangan jadi emosi, Tunggu empat tahun lagi. Jika Barisan Nasional menjalankan tanggungjawab, maka kita boleh menang balik," katanya.
Di samping itu, Zaid menegur pemimpin DAP kerana membuat kenyataan yang berunsur 'provokatif'.
"Saya terperanjat bila melihat hari ini DAP menjadi amat angkuh. Pada hari pertama mentadbir, Lim Guan Eng (ketua menteri pulau pinang) membuat kenyataa mengenai Dasar Ekonomi Baru (DEB)," katanya.
Katanya, ini bukanlah masa untuk membakar perasaan mana-mana pihak.
"Hubungan kaum di negara kita masih rapuh dan mereka yang terpilih (wakil rakyat) mesti berhenti bercakap dan (sebaliknya) buat kerja," katanya.
Sejurus selepas mengangkat sumpah sebagai ketua menteri, Lim mengisytiharkan bahawa kerajaan negeri akan menghapuskan DEB, satu program afirmatif untuk membantu kaum bumiputera.
"Seorang pemimpin yang baik hendaklah mampu berkata, mana-mana bahagian DEB yang baik, iaitu untuk membantu golongan yang terpinggir, hendaklah diteruskan. (Bahagian) DEB yang membantu individu-individu tertentu untuk mengkayakan diri sendiri hendaklah dihentikan. Itu sahaja yang beliau perlu katakan, bukan membuat kenyataan yang provokatif," kata Zaid.
"Ini adalah perkara yang Lim harus berhati-hati. TV3, akhbar dan stesen radio juga mesti berhenti melaga-lagikan orang Melayu dengan bukan Melayu. Itu amat berbahaya," katanya.

PM: Mukhriz makes sudden U-Turn
PM: Mukhriz makes sudden U-Turn
Mar 14, 08 8:40pm
Prime Minister Abdullah Ahamad Badawi today said that Umno Youth exco member Mukhriz Mahathir has made a ‘sudden reversal’ on his earlier stand regarding his leadership.
Abdullah was commenting on the letter sent by Mukhriz asking on the premier to step down in the wake of Barisan Nasional’s poor performance in the March 8 polls.
"One day before he sent me the letter, he issued a statement saying he supports and he understands what happened was a ‘collective responsibility’ and other statements (were made by him) which appeared to be positive statements about me.
"Suddenly he changes ... just one day later, he sends a letter not only to me, but to (deputy premier) Najib (Abdul Razak) and the whole country," he was quoted as saying by Bernama.
"To me, this is not the right approach. This is a reaction from him as a member of Umno Youth which has already decided to support me and the party leadership.
"He also said that me and Najib were given the support to lead the party and government ... this is an act (writing the letter) which contravenes the approach and stand taken by Umno and Umno Youth," he added.
Abdullah said that he will leave it to Umno Youth and its chief Hishammuddin Hussein to act on the matter.
Not Umno Youth's stand
Meanwhile, Hishamuddin said the letter did not reflect the movement’s stand. He added that Umno Youth is still committed to its earlier pledge to support Abdullah and Najib
"If the call on the prime minister was made in his personal capacity, then I personally feel that the manner in which it was done and the timing are inappropriate.
"In the current situation, what is more important is how the parties can be organised for the good of all because the institution takes precedence over everything else," he was quoted as saying by Bernama.
Hishammudin also said that Umno Youth still holds on to the stand that whatever decisions seen to be involving party interests must be done collectively and not individually.

Muslim NGOs meet Penang CM

Muslim NGOs meet Penang CM (updated)
PENANG: Twenty-two Muslim non-governmental organisations have expressed support for the state government's call for transparency in implementing the New Economic Policy (NEP).
Jamaah Islah Malaysia (JIM) Penang adviser Dr Danial Zainal Abidin said representatives from the organisations met Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng Friday morning and realised that the state government was not against the NEP.
"Lim told us that he had no intentions of throwing away the NEP. He, however, mentioned that it has been tainted with cronyism and corruption, and that is what he wants to throw away, not the entire NEP.
"So, if that is the concept, then we agree with him," he said after a dialogue session with Lim at Komtar.
Guan Eng chatting with representatives of the Muslim NGOs who met him at his office on Friday.
Lim had on his first day as Chief Minister said he would practise an open tender policy for the awarding of contracts and projects to prevent cronyism and corruption. Dr Danial said Islam stressed on transparency and justice not only for Muslims but also for all religions and races.
He said the NGOs stressed on the need for transparency, anti-corruption and cleanliness in the government.
"I think YAB has listened and agreed to what we said. If he can fulfil these, then it is in line with Islamic regulations and rules," he said.
Dr Danial said the NGOs were concerned about the fate of Penang Malays and Islamic institutions after hearing talk that the new state government might curb their activities.
He said the NGOs had asked Lim on the state's policy concerning mosques, suraus, Sekolah Agama Rakyat (SAR) as well as on the problems faced by the Malays in Tanjung Tokong.
"Lim has answered them well and we hope that he can fulfil the state's promises," he said.
When met by reporters later, Lim told the people to stop listening to rumours that the Penang Malays would be marginalised under the DAP-PKR coalition rule.
"Before being sworn-in as Chief Minister, I went to Tanjung Tokong to find out about the problems faced by the Malays there.
"So, I wish to reiterate that we are a government for all Malaysians, irrespective of race, religion and background," he said.

Projek mega: Gerakan tidak setuju Umno
Mar 14, 08 5:12pm
Kerajaan persekutuan mesti meneruskan dan menyegerakan pelaksanaan projek infrastruktur utama di Pulau Pinang demi kebaikan penduduk, termasuk negeri jiran, kata pemangku presiden Gerakan Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon.
Koh berkata projek-projek seperti jambatan kedua Pulau Pinang, Rangkaian Lingkaran Luar Pulau Pinang (PORR), monorel dan sistem pengangkutan awam, lapangan terbang dan pembesaran pelabuhan yang dijanjikan kerajaan pusat patut diteruskan.
Dalam kenyataannya hari ini sebagai mengulas gesaan Umno semalam agar membatalkan projek-projek tersebut, Koh juga berkata kejayaan projek-projek itu akan menjadikan Pulau Pinang terus tumbuh sebagai hab bagi Wilayah Ekonomi Koridor Utara (NCER) serta Segitiga Pertumbuhan Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand (IMT-GT).
"Oleh itu, Gerakan merayu kepada kerajaan persekutuan agar meneruskan projek berkenaan," beliau dipetik sebagai berkata.

PKR dapat tambahan exco di Perak
PKR dapat tambahan exco di Perak
Mar 14, 08 11:28am
kemaskini 3:50pm Selepas kecewa dan mengancam keluar daripada kerajaan campuran Perak, PKR malam tadi mendapat tiga jawatan exco daripada satu yang diagihkan kepadanya semalam.
Sementara DAP pula mendapat enam exco, kurang dua daripada peruntukan awal, dan PAS kekal satu - selain jawatan Menteri Besar.
Keputusan itu dicapai dalam mesyuarat ketua-ketua parti itu malam tadi.
PKR semalam meluahkan secara terbuka rasa tidak puas hati pengagihan barisan exco negeri Perak yang dibuat oleh dua lagi parti.
Lapan kerusi exco diperuntukkan kepada DAP dan dua lagi untuk parti lain.
"Kami dengan ikhlas menegaskan bahawa komposisi exco ini sepatutnya mencerminkan komposisi bilangan penduduk dan mewakili kepentingan semua kaum dengan saksama," kata timbalan presiden PKR Dr Syed Husin Ali.
"Semua parti hendaklah peka kepada harapan serta sentimen rakyat," katanya dalam satu kenyataan semalam.
Oleh itu, katanya, PKR meminta agar komposisi tersebut dibincang semula.
"Dan sekiranya (komposisi) tidak diubah dengan memuaskan bagi semua pihak, PKR tidak akan menyertai pentadbiran negeri Perak.
"Sungguhpun begitu, kami akan terus mendukung kerajaan campuran untuk negeri Perak sebagaimana yang telah kami setujui lebih awal," katanya.
Malaysiakini difahamkan, tokoh DAP Lim Kit Siang, penasihat PKR Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim dan setiausaha agung PAS Datuk Kamaruruddin Jaffar turut terlibat secara tidak langsung dengan keputusan terbaru malam tadi.
Perak mempunyai 59 kerusi DUN, pembangkang merebut 31 kerusi dengan meninggalkan BN 28 kerusi sahaja.
DAP menang di 18 kerusi, PKR (tujuh) dan PAS (enam).
PKR juga mendapat satu peruntukan untuk jawatan Senator.
Sementara itu, semua 31 anggota wakil rakyat tiga parti itu telah menurunkan tandatangan surat persetujuan bagi menubuhkan kerajaan campuran dan menerima pelantikan wakil PAS, Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin sebagai Menteri Besar.
Surat tersebut telah diserahkan kepada setiausaha sulit Sultan Perak Datuk Abdul Rahim Mohamad Nor pukul 10 malam tadi, lapor Bernama hari ini.

I oppose an Islamic State

Islam forbids oppression and favouritism. Therefore the New Economic Policy would have to be abolished and a meritocracy system would have to be introduced to replace it. The Federal Constitution of Malaysia would also have to be amended to remove the rights and special privileges of the Malays.
NO HOLDS BARRED
Raja Petra Kamarudin
“Let me show you something,” I told my wife who I have been with for 40 years now.
We were in Kota Bharu in Kelantan to cover the Islamic Party of Malaysia's national convention. I admit, surrounded by the long-robbed and 'properly-covered' PAS women, my wife looked like a fish out of water. But they did not seem to mind that amongst their midst was this uncovered woman in tight jeans and even tighter T-shirt that revealed more than what Muslim women are supposed to reveal.
The normal convention would be for the women to sit on one side of the hall and the men on the other, the proper segregation of the sexes in true Muslim fashion. But my wife chose to sit beside me in the men's section and we sat close to the exit so that she could pop out into the corridor every hour or so to recharge her nicotine level. Yes, an uncovered woman in tight jeans and T-shirts and puffing away on top of that would not be considered the normal setting in a PAS gathering, and sitting in the men's section as well to complete the unorthodox scene. But this did not appear to have ruffled any feathers or triggered any murmurings from amongst the 1,500 or so PAS delegates from all over Malaysia.
I swung into a back alley and slowed down as we neared about a dozen or so young girls and boys loitering in the dark shadows. Some were probably mere teenagers but they all had one thing in common, they all had good looks.
“Look at those boys and girls,” I told my wife.
“What are they waiting for?” my wife asked, half-suspecting she already knew the answer.
“Customers of course.”
“Sure, I can understand the girls are waiting for customers. But what about the boys?”
“Also for customers?”
“Men customers?” she asked with a 'don't tell me they're waiting for women customers' look on her face.
“They waiting for women, of course. What, you mean you women can't also buy sex off the streets?”
“I know we can, but maybe in KL, this is Kota Bharu.”
“Hey, Kota Bharu women also need sex.”
I stopped the car and signalled to one extremely good-looking young man to come forward. “Hey, what you doing?” My wife was taken aback and did not know if I was just teasing or whether this was for real.
“Don't worry. I just want to demonstrate something to you.”
As the delicious-looking young thing came closer I lowered the window and he popped his head into the car and greeted us with a sweet “Hai Pak Cik, Mak Cik.”
“Hey, you panggil kami Pak Cik, Mak Cik tak mahu berkawanlah. Panggillah Abang dan Kakak.”
“Oh, sorrylah, Abang, Kakak. Jangan marah ia?”
“Tak marah. Bergurau je.”
“You looking for a man?” the hunk of a young guy asked.
“Well, sort of.”
“For you or for Kakak?”
“Which one you prefer?”
“Both also okay. Abang pun boleh, Kakak pun boleh.”
“Kalau dua-dua sekali?” I asked, as my wife thumped me on my chest, appalled that this may be going further than she would like it to.
“Dua-dua sekali maksud apa?”
“Dua-dua sekali, threesome.”
“Threesome also can. Lagi enjoy.”
“You biasa buat threesome dulu? Tak nervous?”
“Biasa. No problem.”
“Threesome you biasa buat macam mana? Husband tengok ke wife tengok ke tiga-tiga sekali?”
“Semua dah try.”
“Tapi yang mana you prefer?”
“I suka tiga-tiga sekali. I kat tengah......So, Abang dan Kaka nak tak? I guarantee puas.”
“Okay, bagi kita check-in hotel dulu. I datang balek setengah jam lagi.”
“Alright....datang balek okay? Jangan tak datang.”
My wife could not hold back her laughter as we drove off. “You really teruklah. Wow, Kota Bharu also has all this.”
“Of course, you can even get this in Saudi Arabia so what is Kota Bharu?”
PAS has been ruling the 'Islamic' state of Kelantan for 18 years and, in spite of the loud Islamic State rhetoric, you can still decide whether to live the life of a pious Muslim or instead indulge in a 'western' lifestyle of sex games. And of course if bakuteh and beer are your thing you can never be short of those as well.
I am not trying to say that PAS' Islamic State proposal is pure rhetorical bullshit. I am not even trying to say that an Islamic State is 'safe' and poses no danger to anyone who would rather live the life of a devil's disciple. What I am emphasising here is that Islam has to rise above mere rhetoric. Shouting about Islam will not bring about changes. Legislation and the creation of an Islamic State would also not bring about changes. Changes can only be brought about through education and by the will of the people to live the life of a true Muslim. That, and only that, will bring about changes. And we do not need an Islamic State for that. If the people refuse to change, no Islamic State can change them. Furthermore, screaming about an Islamic State would just alienate and antagonise non-Muslims who, as it is, already fear Islam and would run scared from anyone who rants and raves about Islam
DAP is one example of a serious infliction of Islamphobia. The DAP people are so scared of Islam and scared shit that the non-Muslim Chinese will punish them come the next general election if they form a coalition government in Perak with a PAS man as the Menteri Besar. Can we really blame DAP when they have suffered such punishment in the past and the very thought of this episode being repeated sends shivers down their spine?
It is easy to accuse DAP of being anti-Islam but if we were in DAP's shoes we would certainly not act any differently. This is, after all, a matter of political survival, and if it is politically expedient to oppose Islam, then this is what must be done just to stay relevant to the non-Muslim Chinese and to continue getting their support. If DAP is seen as 'selling out', this would be the beginning of the end for DAP. Nevertheless, while we can appreciate what motivates DAP -- and while we may have no quarrel with their reasons for flying off the handle at the prospect of forming a government with PAS and then having PAS as the Menteri Besar on top of that -- it is their methods that we find fault with.
Making public statements to the government-controlled media who would just exploit the issue and present the opposition in a negative light is just not on. Have you noticed that the Barisan Nasional states of Perlis and Terengganu are also facing problems? Perlis and Terengganu too can't form governments and there is a serious deadlock as to who should be the new Menteris Besar. But the media does not play up the issue of Perlis and Terengganu. They do, however, play up Perak and Selangor which are actually lesser problems than Perlis and Terengganu.
Let me say this again and let me say it loud and clear. READ MY LIPS, PAS. WE DO NOT NEED AN ISLAMIC STATE. WE NEED MUSLIMS WHO ARE NOT HYPOCRITES. And that is why I oppose the creation of an Islamic State. An Islamic State would give an impression that everything is honky-dory whereas in actual fact it is not. An Islamic State would give an impression that we are all good Muslims whereas we would be nothing but a bunch of hypocrites. Better we have no Islamic State than we are reduced to a bunch of munafiks living in an Islamic State.
Let me tell you why every Malay in Malaysia should also oppose an Islamic State. And these are just three of the reasons amongst many.
Islam forbids oppression and favouritism. Therefore the New Economic Policy would have to be abolished and a meritocracy system would have to be introduced to replace it. The Federal Constitution of Malaysia would also have to be amended to remove the rights and special privileges of the Malays. Every rakyat would be treated as equal to one another and Malays would no longer be the Lords or Tuan of this country and Ketuanan Melayu would therefore no longer exist. This would also mean the quota system, special discounts for Malays, and much more, would all immediately cease to exist. An Islamic State would give the non-Malays an advantage over the Malays and the Malays would be left far, far behind, economically as well as academically.
Side-incomes would be drastically reduced or eliminated altogether. The basic salary for 95% of the Malays is very low compared to the non-Malays. This is because most Malays go into government service or join the police, army, navy, air force, customs department, etc., where the salaries are very low, whereas most non-Malays are either professionals, go into the corporate world, or run their own business. The non-Malay take-home pay, therefore, is quite substantial while Malays have to resort to commissions and kickbacks to supplement their meagre income. Under an Islamic State, corruption would be severely dealt with -- though not as bad as China which shoots their corrupted civil servants in the head -- so all forms of corruption would have to come to an end.
Without these commissions and kickbacks, Malays would become very poor. Corruption, rather than the New Economic Policy, helps the Malays keep up economically with the non-Malays. The New Economic Policy is therefore a convenient camouflage to legalise corruption because what, under normal circumstances, would be considered a criminal act becomes perfectly legal if done under the ambit of the New Economic Policy.
Malays would suffer more than non-Malays. In time, Malays would face severe handicaps when a high percentage of the Malay population has to learn how to survive without the advantage of hands. It would be very difficult for the Malays, who as it is can no longer receive a university education -- because of the removal of quotas as required under an Islamic State -- to compete with the non-Malays who still have two good hands. Considering that more than 95% of those who work for the various government agencies are Malays and all the government departments are corrupt, it would be the Malays rather than the non-Malays who suffer severed limbs. This problem would be further compounded during the Umno general assemblies when kerises can no longer be raised because no one in the assembly has any hands left with which to hold the kerises.
Just these reasons alone are enough to justify Malays opposing to the death the setting up of an Islamic State in Malaysia. And if the non-Malays suddenly realise the advantage of an Islamic State and start pushing for one, the Malays should resist this call by the non-Malays for the setting up of an Islamic State which would clearly give the non-Malays an unfair advantage over the Malays.
To make matters worse, once an Islamic State is set up and many, many years later the Malays discover that they have been left behind because of the Islamic State, there would be very little the Malays can do since starting another May 13 would be impossible without hands to brandish parangs.

Mereka tidak mahu diri mereka dilihat - ini Melayu, ini Cina, ini India atau ini Bumiputera. Mereka mahu dilihat dan ditakrif bahawa mereka adalah warga Malaysia yang setaraf.
DARI JELEBU
Hishamuddin Rais
Rakyat Malaysia dalam pilihan raya ke 12 telah memilih ABU – Asalkan Bukan Umno/Anyone But Umno.
Ada masalah ke? Apa masalahnya?
Apa masalah DAP menubuhkan pentadbiran baru di Pulau Pinang? Apa hal jadi kalut apabila PKR akan menubuhkan kerajaan baru di Selangor? Apa halnya bila DAP mendapat undi terbanyak di Perak dan menubuhkan pentadbiran baru? Kedah dan Kelantan di bawah PAS ada problem? Apa problemnya?
Ada masalah ke apabila PKR akan mentadbirkan Wilayah Persekutuan/Kuala Lumpur?
Soalan-soalan saya ini timbul kerana saya terus membaca di akhbar-akbar lekeh arus perdana yang memaparkan berita yang cuba menimbulkan agenda perkauman Melayu. Saya juga menerima tek pesanan ringkas yang cuba mengapi-apikan sentimen Melayu untuk menimbulkan perasaan anti-bukan Melayu kerana rakyat telah memilih ABU.
Mari kita lihat bagaimana sebuah akhbar Melayu arus perdana yang lekeh lagi melekehkan. Lihat bagaimana akhbar ini menguruskan sentimen anti-bukan Melayu. Apabila rakyat memilih Abu kelihatan akhbar ini di laman rencana dan di ruangan surat pembaca telah cuba menerangkan kepada pemilih ABU bahawa kini ‘ ketuaan Melayu telah hilang!”
Ha ha ha … surat khabar corot ini masih lagi memainkan keset lama tentang ketuanan Melayu. Saya telah jelak , mual dan hendak muntah membaca dan mendengar agenda ketuanan Melayu. United Malay National Organistions ini cuba disamakan sebagai Melayu. Tolong sikit beeb… bukan semua Melayu berpayung di bawah agenda ketuanan Melayu. United Malay National Organisations mengakui ada hampir 2 juta ahli. Woit! Dalam negara ini ada berapa juta lagi orang Melayu?
Tidak semua Melayu di Malaysia ini bersetuju dengan konsep ketuanan Melayu. Tidak semua Melayu akan menyahut seruan ketuanan Melayu. Tidak semua Cina mahu bertuankan ketuanan Cina. Dan tidak semua India mahu bertuankan ketuanan India. Dan tidak semua Punjabi mahu bertuankan ketuanan Benggali.
Mereka yang telah memilih ABU kerana mereka mahu bertuankan keadilan, ketelusan, kebenaran dan kesaksamaan derajat. Mereka telah muak dengan agenda pecah dan perintah. Mereka tidak mahu diri mereka dilihat - ini Melayu, ini Cina, ini India atau ini Bumiputera. Mereka mahu dilihat dan ditakrif bahawa mereka adalah warga Malaysia yang setaraf. ( Kenapa berat dan ngok sangat kepala untuk memahami bahawa agenda ketuanan Melayu ini telah lama bungkus dan telah di humbankan ke dalam tong sampah sejarah.)
Apa salahnya anak muda itu di terima masuk ke fakulti perubatan walhal kelulusan anak muda ini cukup cemerlang. Anak muda ini di tolak hanya kerana dia Cina dan tidak termasuk dalam agenda ketuanan Melayu. Ini perbuatan gila. Orang sakit di Malaysia ini kalau dia sakit dia tidak mengira bangsa apa, agama apa atau dari parti apa doktor yang mengubati.
Kenapa kontrak buat bangunan sekolah itu di berikan kepada si Polan ini? Dalam masa enam bulan sesudah siap sekolah ini runtuh rahai? Jawabnya si Polan ini di beri kontrak kerana dia Melayu dan ini agenda ketuanan Melayu. Ini kerja gila. Pengundi ABU mahukan yang terbaik bukan yang TERMELAYU.
Kenapa Naib Canselor di universiti-universiti semuanya Melayu walhal kebanyakan dari mereka benak, tidak berilmu, bebal dan tidak ada mengeluarkan tulisan-tulisan ilmiah. Jawabnya Naib-naib Canselor ini dilantik hanya kerana mereka Melayu dan ini agenda ketuanan Melayu. Ini kerja gila, kerja orang bodoh. Dunia akademia bukan mahukan Melayu. Dunia akademia mahukan mereka yang bijak , berilmu dan bukan berMelayu. Ilmu datang bukan kerana dia Melayu tetapi kerana insan profesor itu berilmu dan ada keupayaan untuk berfikir, menulis dan berhujah secara ilmiah. Kaki bodek tidak termasuk dalam Cv dan biodata untuk menjadi profesor di universiti.
Dalam ruangan pembaca di media yang sama saya juga terbaca tentang ‘ survival Melayu’. Mula-mula saya ingatkan ini program TV yang bernama “ survival’ rupa-rupanya bukan. Survival yang di perkatakan oleh akhbar lekeh ini ialah survival Melayu.
Haha haha.. lawak betul akhbar ini. United National Malay Organisations bukan oksigen beeb. Tolong lah beeb... Manusia Melayu telah wujud ribuan tahun tanpa United Malay National Organisations. Pertubuhan ini pula baru muncul pada tahun 1946, ini pun kerana perancangan British yang sedang nazak dipukul oleh perjuangan rakyat Malaya yang mengangkat senjata.
Saya tidak tahu bagaimana dan apa pertalian United Malay National Organisations dengan kunun apa yang di panggil ‘survival’ Melayu. Tapi saya tahu apa yang tidak akan ‘survive’ dan pupus nanti. Yang akan pupus ialah ‘contract junkies’. Yang akan pupus nanti ialah Mat Subcon. Yang akan pupus nanti ialah mereka yang tidak berkelayakan untuk masuk universiti pasti tidak akan dapat masuk universiti. Tolong lah beeb...jangan samakan makhluk-makhluk ini dengan 300 juta susuk-susuk yang dipanggil Melayu di Nusantara.
Selepas – ‘survival Melayu ‘ muncul pula apa yang kunun dipanggil agenda perpaduan Melayu. Satu lagi lawak tengit. Apa barang yang di panggil perpaduan Melayu ini? Benda ini ada di jual di Maidin ke? Ada di jual di Chow Kit ke? Berapa harga sekilo?
Perpaduan Melayu untuk apa?
Susuk Melayu tidak pernah bersatu, tidak akan bersatu dan sampai dunia kiamat pun TIDAK akan bersatu. Susuk Cina tidak pernah bersatu, tidak akan bersatu dan sampai kiamat pun tidak akan bersatu. Susuk Arab tidak pernah bersatu, tidak akan bersatu dan sampai kiamat pun Tok-tok Arab ini tidak akan bersatu.
Jangan mimpi dan jangan berkhayal tentang perpaduan Melayu. Benda ini tidak pernah wujud. Dalam sejarah perjalanan tamadun manusia, dari semenjak manusia keluar dari gua-gua batu di Kenya Afrika susuk yang di panggil manusia ini telah terpencar-pencar dan tidak pernah bersatu.
Menggunakan satu bahasa ibunda juga tidak akan menjanjikan perpaduan. Buktinya negara Arab yang semuanya bercakap Arab. Mereka tidak pernah bersatu. Satu warna kulit tidak juga menjanjikan perpaduan. Buktinya benua Afrika – mereka semuanya berkulit hitam. Satu asal usul budaya dan bahasa yang sama juga tidak menjanjikan perpaduan. Buktinya Cina dan Taiwan. Satu agama dan satu konsep tuhan pun tidak akan menjamin perpaduan. Buktinya Pakistan Timur dan Pakistan Barat. Pakistan Timur kini menjadi Bangladesh.
Manusia bukan batu bata yang boleh disusun mengikut rasa. Manusia mempunyai akliah.
Mengapi-apikan rasa benci antara kaum dan bangsa ini adalah jenis politik bankrap. Ini jenis politik orang kalah. Jenis politik inilah yang telah di tolak oleh ABU. Mengajukan kebencian terhadap sesama manusia bukan sifat insan yang berilmu, berfikiran dan bertamadun.
Menakut-nakutkan orang Melayu bahawa mereka akan hilang Dasar Ekonomi Baru adalah cerita hantu lama. Cerita hantu ini telah menjadi tidak seram lagi. Menakut-nakutkan orang Melayu bahawa mereka akan hilang hak keistimewaan samalah seperti George Bush sedang cuba menakut-nakutkan rakyat dunia tentang ‘keganasan Islam’. Orang Melayu tidak akan ambil pot. Rakyat dunia tidak akan ambil pot.
Untuk sementara waktu ada susuk Melayu akan termakan racun bergula dari akhbar-akhbar lekeh lagi melekehkan. Ini samalah seperti ada sebahagian rakyat dunia yang termakan propaganda Bush tentang cerita seram ‘ kejahatan Islam’.
Sebenarnya di belakang agenda menakut-nakutkan Melayu ini ialah para cukong, para contract junkies, para Ali dan Baba, para Mat Subcon, para lanun dan penyamun, para perasuah dan pengguna C4, para komisen agen, para broker projek – mereka inilah yang sedang dalam ketakutan kerana rakyat telah memilih ABU – Asalkan Bukan Umno/Anyone But Umno.
