Minority Plead

The most shocking case is perhaps N Subramaniam, a father of four. This 42-year-old plantation worker was only left with RM33, following the deductions to his April salary.

SPECIAL REPORT KUALA KUBU BARU: Palm oil and rubber prices have rocketed, and industry captains are laughing all the way to the bank. Shareholders, some of whom have never been to a plantation, are ecstatic about their expanding bank accounts.

But FMT learnt that the plantation workers do not share the same kind of excitement, and so a team was dispatched to two estates in Hulu Selangor to find out why.

Welcome to the Nigel Gardner and Sungai Jernih plantations, whose inhabitants were recently treated to round-the-clock sumptuous feasts and top-notch entertainment.

No, it was not a reward from their paymasters for their hard work, but rather baits thrown by  political masters to fish for their votes in the recently concluded by-election.

When FMT visisted the estates last week, the fanfare had ended. No more colorful lights, Tamil songs blaring from mammoth speakers or politicians with hampers making a beeline.

But why are these folks not excited about the soaring rubber and palm oil prices? Because some of them still cannot afford a meal in a fast-food restaurant.

All comments are good comments. There are no bad comments or good comments. So everyone have the right to comment. How about you?

The above news I stole it from Malaysia Today without their permission. Hope RPK will understand my plead for the minority of Malaysian specially when I am a local from KKB.

SIBU ~ DAP Chosen

The people of SIBU mainly Chinese community in majority which hold more than 60% of the voting power made their choice by choosing DAP as their represender in the parliment.

SIBU which use to be a BN strong hold made a tremendous turn over sending clear message to BN that Pakatan is spreading their wings to East Malaysia.  

Different from the Hulu Selangor by-election which most popularly known as buy-election, SIBU which hold Chinese majority sent a reminder to BN that money can't buy everything.

People never changed but they were made to change. The hope and the waiting for more than 50 years without much changes has given a clear picture to the rakyat that BN is no more relevan.

This message indirectly goes to Taib who have been the KING of Sarawak for more than 4 decades. His time has over and coming to the end. He has to step down now or may face the lost of total Sarawak in the next general election. 

The Chinese have proven they are not beggars who can be bought with goodies and some pocket money. Unlike the Hulu Selangor by election where by the rakyat were blind with money and groceries. 

SIBU by-election result: 

 

DAP - 18,845
BN - 18,447
Ind - 232

Majority - 398

Racism

“We assembled in small groups for out-of-door talks, in the school grounds. We were told that the Malays were the most supreme race in the world, we were God's chosen few, that the others were insignificant. We were warned about certain elements in our society and abroad, determined to undermine Malay excellence”

It was never meant to be a question-and-answer session and the lecturer omitted to qualify his contentious and contemptuous statements.

Just like my peers, my mind was focused on going overseas. In essence, we simply 'switched off'. Moreover, we hardly experienced any racial issues at our convent school.

When questions with political and religious undertones are incorporated, that is reason enough for the BTN to cease to operate and function.

When non-Malay Malaysians are chastised for their 'immigrant' status and are condescendingly told to be grateful to the Malays, that is wrong.

When only the contributions of the Malays are recognized for bringing peace and prosperity to the nation that is positively abhorrent.

When Malays are warned not to mingle with non-Malays, when only Muslims are to be respected, that is despicable.

It is a mockery that 1Malaysia has boiled down to mean 'belonging to only one race'. And the shocking thing is that many Western-educated middle class Malays believe it. ~ Mariam Mokhtar published in Malaysiakini.

Above is a statement from truly Malaysian Malay who had the guts to voice out the injustice and brain washing session conducted by the authorities.

I had some experience in exchanging some emails with one of the MARA sponsored student in facebook.

He was one of the student who stand on his feed and trying to teach me about ketuanan Melayu, hak orang Melayu, Pendatang, Sosial Contract, Suruhan Jaya Reid and many more.

Guess what, he gave up after almost over 70 emails were exchanged. Now I know why and how thick was his ego.

But it was not his fault. May be BTN succeeded in their tasked to recruit a real Malay as they wanted.

May be, he was given scholarship and in return was request to be loyal to Malays and reject those non Malays.

I don’t call this as a brainwash. I think they (Malays) actual worried that they will loss this country. Hey, it is only a may be. But when it was a may be it can be may be not too. But honestly I think this is ridiculous. Loosing the county to your countryman? - lvbala

The National Union of Bank Employees (Nube) today called for Bank Negara to thoroughly investigate a bank that it claimed is using race as a basis to evaluate loan applications. – Malaysiakini 07/12/09.

If this is true, I am definitely sure of racism is on going in Malaysia. Started from quota system in education, loans, housing, contract for contractors and now the latest is to educate those Malay friends on how to treat and respect non Malay friends.

For the record, this whole scenario was high lighted by Malay friends. The respected Malay Menteri Besar of Selangor is against it by banning all state civils from attending the course conduct by BTN.

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz has described Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad as a racist for saying that there was no need to revamp the current National Civics Bureau (BTN) training modules ~ Staronline 07/12/09.

It was to my surprise when I heard this statement came from DS Nazri Aziz but I am surely welcomed it at the most.

Mariam Moktar’s revealed her part of the story and she was surely disappointed and saddened with the way they were put into a situation of no choice. In fact she was from a Convent. How surprising.

Many more Malay friends out there are still protest in silence. They keep mum but they know what is going on around them. They know this idea is ridicules.

I am confused with the way our country been lead. But I am glad the majority of Malaysians are far sited.

What else do we need to prove to them that “rakyat of Malaysia” are against racism.

Any Ideas are welcomed and for sure to be publish as an honor. Lets stay united and against racism. Let us stay united and reject this government for letting the racism grown in this soil.

Makan Suap ~ Tun M, you are "correct correct correct" (To Samy Vellu)

This is one great article from Tun M. I guess this article is for his best friend Samy Vellu. At least Tun M opened his eyes about his political friend. Rakyat have sent the message. Kalau tak faham lagi, perkataan "BODOH SOMBONG" adalah jolokan yang terbaik. Kalau pemimpinnya bodoh sombong, pengikutnya pun sama bodoh sombong, ada yang bodoh lurus.

But I had named him "Bodoh Sombong" earlier in my blog before you TUN.

Makan Suap ~ Tun M

1. Ada orang politik yang berpendapat jika dapat jadi Presiden parti maka kemenangan mereka dalam pilihanraya terjamin.

2. Justeru itu mereka ini berusaha untuk menentukan kemenangan mereka melalui penyingkiran ahli yang tidak menyokong mereka, mengguna wang untuk membeli sokongan atau mengguna apa-apa kuasa yang ada pada mereka untuk menyogok, menjanji sesuatu kepada yang akan menyokong atau mengugut.

3. Hasilnya mereka menang dalam parti. Tetapi rakyat memerhati segala tindak-tanduk pemimpin dan ahli seperti ini. Apabila rakyat lihat perjuangan parti bukan lagi untuk rakyat; apabila mereka lihat rasuah dan ugutan yang menentukan kepimpinan, maka kepercayaan kepada parti dan pemimpinnya akan terhakis dan mungkin hilang lenyap.

4. Rakyat tidak dapat membuat apa-apa, terutama apabila mulut rakyat tertutup. Demikian juga ahli parti. Tetapi apabila Pilihanraya Umum diadakan maka rakyat sebagai pengundi akan nyatakan kekecewaan mereka.

5. Inilah yang telah berlaku pada Pilihanraya Umum ke 12, 2008.

6. Apakah kekecewaan rakyat disedari oleh pemimpin dan parti-parti politik. Hingga kini tidak ternampak yang parti dan pemimpin sudah betul-betul sedar.

7. Yang merebut jawatan masih merebut dengan penggunaan cara-cara lama. Pembersihan parti tidak juga dilakukan. Pengamal politik wang masih diterima dan diberi tempat.

8. Ahli-ahli biasa parti tidak memprotes sikap lama diteruskan. Bahkan ramai juga ahli yang berpendapat apa salahnya menabur wang. Mereka juga akan dapat sedikit habuan.

9. Apabila ramai rakyat sebagai pengundi sudah benci kepada parti kerana amalan rasuah dan bodoh-sombong, janji pembangunan dan menabur wang tidak akan berkesan lagi. Ingatlah apabila kelebihan undi sedikit sahaja, kehilangan sokongan daripada sebilangan yang kecil rakyat pun boleh sebabkan kekalahan.

The Art Of Sharing (Part 1)

I thought about this title long before. But it was remain as a title for at least a month or two. I don’t know what to highlight regard to this title called “The Art of Sharing”. Not because there is nothing to highlight but I felt this was not new to Malaysia.

By or without realizing Malaysian has been living in this country by sharing. From food, language, fashion, marriage and name it, you will know the proved out of it.

Living in Malaysia, we can find the art of sharing is the fundamental of the basic Malaysians. I can deliberately say if there is another word for “The Art of Sharing” it should be “Malaysia”.

I don’t have to elaborate further to Malaysian as we know we have been living by sharing this country for centuries.

From the day when Parameswara (Founder of Melaka) convert and wed a Malay Muslim girl and the following king who married Hang Li Po (China girl from China) and to till now shows Malaysia is blend with multi culture and religion.

Past is past and what ever in the past is by gone history. Malaysians actually forgotten these histories so called left out memories. Yes, Malaysians have forgotten the history on how Malaysia was “rojak” made by multi cultural and ethnic.

I am totally disappointed with the current situation which reflect Malaysian have forgotten the history. Forgot not only the history, but even we forgot the achievement of independent which achieved through hand in hand with all races.

Let me quote as what said by YB Maximus Ongkili who is also federal Minister for Science, Technology and Innovation who said there is “trouble in paradise”.

If there is trouble in paradise, it is with good reasons too. At least we can measure where we are and what went wrong.

For sure something is wrong. Seriously something is very wrong. Something is wrong with the people of Malaysia.

This paradise is facing trouble. This trouble shall jeopardize the harmony in this land. Harmony which held Malaysia as a unique land is vanishing.

The latest Cow headed incident is the proved shows the tolerance is lacking in this land. The arrest of some leaders in last night candle Virgil (06/09/09) is another proved to show the UMNO BN ruling is one sided and intolerance.

Many questions arise when double standard applied. The watchdog police was use to achieve the need of the UMNO BN goal to bring down oppositions.

Can anyone imagine the reason for the police not to act on the Shah Alan protest is because the officer is new and inexperience?

Another issue is on the MCA leader and MACC, no arrest was made and VIP treatment for Ong Tee Keat when he was called for statement but when comes to opposition they will be arrested and questioned until late night. Wonder with all the urgency.

At the end of the day, with all the racial issues played by the UMNO BN ruling government, the paradise will go into trouble and Malaysian will be losing the sentiment of sharing.

The questions arise, why Malaysia have lost her art of sharing?

Yes, by claiming the rights by one ethnic alone by the name of “Bumiputra” and claim this country belong to only one race is the reason why Malaysia is suffering. The others were sidelined by the name of religion and race base policy.

Than, why we are talking about 1Malaysia? Why we are talking about unity? Why we are talking about fairness, when the citizens were treated with quota system?

Too Long On the Stand ~ Stink (MCA / MIC)

I have never known any leader for the Tamils since I was born and he is the one and the only SAMY. So I think the Tamils know him better than anyone in Malaysian politic. No denial that Samy has done for the Tamils. He indeed contribute and no doubt about it. At the same time he have fatality to Tamils ander the name of MIC.

Swallowed the Maika fund, named the school land under him, swallowed the Tsunami fund over 2 million, created gangstersm and split Tamils in Malaysia into two groups and many more includes AIMST missing fund.

He lost the support and lost his parliamentary seat which proved the Malaysian regardless race have rejected him. From Tun Hussein Onn, Tun Mahathir, Tun Abdullah and now DS Najib, Malaysia have seen number of PM in a row. But for Samy, still stand as a king for the Tamils.

And for sure leaving the presidency in 2015 is bullshit from him. Why the Tamils still believe he will leave MIC by 2015? All this was another peacock story from him. He can’t live as a normal man. He will be sued and humiliated and shall end his life by walking up and down to the court.

So, he will never quit. Hang on in MIC is like hanging the Tamils balls on the fence. The UMNO BN ruling party is actually enjoying watching MIC and the Tamils ship sinking to the bottom.

No one dare to challenge him in MIC either because the president's power to revoke the MIC membership is a threaten to those who trying to be hero. Even a minister will fall to lick the ground when his membership in MIC was reworked.

This is what happened to DS Anwar Ibrahim in UMNO.

At the end of the day, MIC sucks. This somehow will benefits BN in losing the support from the Tamils. UMNO and MCA will be laughing at Tamils community for not having ground to stand with unwanted leader.

Another hot issue from BN comes from MCA, the three corner fight between Tiong, Ong and Chua reflect the efficiency in BN.

The smell of troubles in stings, the Chinese friends need to look into this matter seriously. But frankly speaking, they still have guts compare to MIC. MCA members dare to voice out the concern and dissatisfaction over the leaders.

This is how the system should work. This is the way it should be. The leaders should not be given autonomy power to decide. He should be under control. Control by the voice of the members.

If not, similarity in MIC will be repeated. The boss will shake his balls hanging for the rest of his life.

My opinion, Ong Tee Kiat should resign or he should go for leave until the rumors on his allegation cleared. He has cause MCA a huge humiliation over his allegation and rumors. If he don’t, than Chua Soh Lek should join Pakatan Rakyat and bring all his supporters in his ship.

Lets see if BN can still hold on and lets see if DS Najib will still say, “I won’t interfere until I am invited…..”

Take it or leave it. Don’t hang on it until your balls got rotten.
