LET's forget about RACE. Forget BANGSA Malaysia. Let's go back to being Malaysian citizens. RAKYAT Malaysia yang berbilang bangsa dan agama, yang berbeza warna kulit dan kebudayaannya.
Let's live and die by the Malaysian Constitution. Your rights, my rights ... they are all right there, spelt out in the Constitution, guaranteed by our forefathers and foremothers. Buy a copy of the Constitution, it costs only ten bucks. Read it, memorize it.
And read the warning, too ....

Police Warning Against Racially Sensitive Statements
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 10 (Bernama) -- The police today warned of stern action against people who make racially sensitive statements which can cause tension and undermine public order.
Deputy Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar said many quarters had made racially sensitive statements of late which had been exploited by certain irresponsible people over Internet blogs and the Short Messaging Service (SMS).
"I am issuing a stern warning to all quarters to refrain from making statements on sensitive issues via the various media.
"The police will not hesitate to act against anyone who violates the law," he told reporters here.
Ismail said many quarters took advantage of the situation to disseminate false information.
"We ask the people who happen to hear rumours to contact the police to verify the truth," he said.
Asked about the disparaging remark made by Bukit Bendera Umno Division head Datuk Ahmad Ismail, Ismail said the police investigation into the matter would be completed soon.
"It is not important how many reports have been lodged against him (Ahmad); of more importance is to stop making statements and doing unlawful things," he said.
Ismail said "street politics" and illegal gatherings were prohibited altogether.
"Malaysia is a sovereign nation and everyone must respect the constitution. Every action must be in accordance with the laws of the country. We do not want arbitrary action which defies the law and gives in to emotions. We do not want any incident that may become uncontrollable," he said.
Ismail, nevertheless, gave the assurance that the situation in the country was under control and safe and that the police were prepared for any eventuality.

ReplyDeleteThe Ahmad Ismail phenomena - a 119 call for MALAYSIA
It sure is disturbing. Ahmad Ismail is a friend (rakan seperjuangan) during our younger days. We were very active in our own ways when I was in Kota Melaka and he was and still is and now no more in Bukit Bendera.
I was puzzled by his outburst and strong headedness (kepala batu) on a very sensitive issue like the Malays and the Chinese and the history of Independent Malaya. Why oh why Saudara at this time? We all have to be responsible for our actions and words. Why want to irritate the Chinese community with such remarks? Why want to ask a member of the Barisan component party to leave the pact? Why so bold and arrogant? Why so ignorant for the fact that the Penang Malays are standing on quicksand? Very very questionable? If its for your personal benefit, then good luck Saudara ku. As a friend, I do not personally think that what you have done is for the good of the Malays.
The real Malays who are Tuans of Malaysia looks after everybody and anybody including the illegal immigrants that comes from all over. That's what our forefathers had decided and agreed upon to make us worthy of rightful owners of the land.
For getting UMNO into trouble, a three year ban is a small price to pay. "Kerana mulut badan binasa". These few words are for an individual. But the damage done to UMNO is not going to be easily mended. Sad to say this, you are still my friend like my many other friends who had betrayed UMNO, but you are no longer my "rakan seperjuangan".
Anak Malaysia.
So Rocky suddenly its "hush" is it? After your last two posts with racial undertones you're pulling an old UMNO trick by saying "let's move on and not talk about it any more."
ReplyDeleteShame on you Rocky. Shame on you for saying that Malaysians are trying to "take advantage" of UMNO by asking for action to be taken against a racist.
You have shown your true colours and I am thankful for this episode since its flushed you and your biases out in the open.
Why romerz? You don't like the word "Rakyat"?

Unfortunately, Dr.M has today written a sour-grapes nasty, menacing piece.
ReplyDeleteHe claims that in particular, the Malays are incensed by the Bar Councils' actions may even be contemplating armed resurrection in collusion with 'neighbouring countries' - meaning Indonesia or S.Thailand.
With demagogues such as these, how do we keep the peace and maintain a Bangsa Malaysia?
http://donplaypuks.blogspot.com
refer my blog 'The Sept 16th Chronicles Part III- Sighful is Pregnant!
Rocky, I agree with you. What BANGSA Malaysia are we talking about?! We are Malaysians made up of BANGSAs or RACES -- Malays, Chinese, Indians, Ibans, Kadazans, Melanaus, Bidayuhs, Jakuns, Siams, etc.
ReplyDeleteAnd we are RAKYAT Malaysia!!
But the word "Rakyat" has also been hijacked by a political party and is already politicized!
I suggest we go for Malaysian PEOPLE! Orang Malaysia!
Semantics or Rhetorics. Who cares? Let us be proud of our respective bangsa and be ONE PEOPLE.
Power to the Malaysian PEOPLE!
Thank u.

We are BANGSA MALAYSIA which made of various ethnic such as Malay Chinese, Indian n so on...
ReplyDeletehow can u deny that whereas we are trying to create a situation with "one race one nation" concept...
Rocky,
ReplyDeleteyou're sounding more like Barking Magpies. In fact post GE-08 your writings seem to mirror CheDet. No, I have no problem with that. It's your blog. Just a little observation.
tiudrubal
Dear Rocky,
ReplyDeleteI think it's the sensible thing to do. Why make it worse? Why in the name of fighting to make things right but ending as worse as the guilty party.
MY VIEWS AS FOLLOWS...
ReplyDelete1. SAYA RAKYAT MALAYSIA
2. SAYA BANGSA MELAYU/CINA/INDIA/ETC
YOU SHOULD BE PROUD TO BE A MALAYSIAN AND IDENTIFIED AS ONE.
YOU SHOULD ALSO BE PROUD OF YOUR RESPECTIVE RACE. WHY SHOULD ONE FEEL OTHERWISE. THIS IS YOUR LINEAGE AND HERITAGE. YOU SHOULD BE PROUD TO BE A MALAY/CHINESE/INDIAN/ETC.
MALAYSIA'S HISTORY/SUCCESS IS BUILT ON MULTI-RACES.
SO WHAT IF ONE IS A CHINESE/INDIAN/ETC -YOU ARE FIRSTLY ALWAYS A MALAYSIAN.
WHY DO WE CONTINUE TO ALLOW NARROW MINDED PEOPLE TO CONJURE IMAGES OF RACISM.
HITMAN
Time for the Mahathirist sleeper agents to wake up... The Master is a-calling. He wants to get back into UMNO and install his puppet.
ReplyDeleteIt baffles me as to why those who champion freedom of speech and of expression are now suddenly the ones who cannot stomach Ahmad Ismail's right to free speech.
ReplyDeleteDear Rocky,
ReplyDeleteJust how long is the police investigation on Ahmad Ismail going to take? Three weeks, three months or three years? Which one?
Bravo. Well said.
ReplyDeleteI often wonder if all these people espousing such large scale of social engineering are willing to pay the price.
Will all the suspicions among the races suddenly disappear when we call ourselves Bangsa Malaysia? I doubt it.
We're not there yet.
Times are tough. Now is the time for us to show we're ready to be Bangsa Malaysia by helping each other.
Politics be damned.
Way to go Rocky..Write responsibly without trying to be popular..leave that to RPK and politicians
ReplyDeleteThere is no such things as Bangsa Malaysia as claimed and promoted by these group of idiots led by half-baked-lawyer Harris Ibrahim, thinks-he-is-God's-gift-to-the-legal-profession Malik Imtiaz, senile-ole-fart Zorro, Tony know-nuts Yew, and others.
ReplyDeleteBangsa Malaysia means Malaysian. And these idiots think that Bangsa Malaysia are Malaysian without race.
Thats unrealistic. They are living in a state of denial and false altruism. Face fact. Every where in the world there different races, creed, and religion. Celebrate this differences.
In Malaysia, the fucking British brought so many immigrant - races outside the Malay cultural region -that it almost made the local inhabitant minority in numbers and actually made them minority economically, educationally, nutritionally, and etc etc etc.
When the Brits left the country, the forced upon us to deal with the problems. Each race were cocoooned in their own areas. Each race differ with one another in terms of cultural, economy, social, education, and etc. They have different set of problems.
Whether you like it or not, to create a one Bangsa Malaysia or Rakyat Malaysia is not in the manner done by those bunch of idiot bloggers. All I see they do on the blogs are only slogans, blog posters, rhetorics, antogonising others with criticism, having patronising attitudes on others of differing views, talking in cliches, etc.
Lets face another fact.
There will never be unity or a one Bangsa Malaysia until all races could interact with each other with comfort. Equal opportunity must come on a level playing field of equal access, and capacity.
How do we become one Bangsa Malaysia when early in our life we speak and learn in school using different langages, different educational system, different class system of education, etc?
The irony is these people are talking of diversity, Under the guise of libertarianism, the manner they speak of Bangsa Malaysia is like they are championing segregation?
Utter bullshit!!!!
Orang tu dah dapat hukuman dia. Yang lain pergi bising lagi bakar semangat orang nak marah tu buat apa? Takkan nak bagi tak sudah2 kecoh..
ReplyDeleteto me its simple la bro.
ReplyDeleteMalaysia belongs to Malaysians.
Racism in Malaysia is a weird thing. It seems that the Chinese are the official determiner that decides who's racist and who's not. Baaahhhhh.
ReplyDeleteSay one thing against Chinese, presto! you're now officially a racist. Rocky has been an ardent fan of a peaceful and united Malaysia. After two postings, now the Chinese are labeling him a racist. Just clearly shows that most Chinese are themselves closet racist!!!!
against ungrateful b*st*rds!

ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree with you more rocky. Bangsa Malaysia concept is rubbish. If you want to fight corruption lets fight corruption together, we malays are sick of it as well but why bring race equation into it. I read jeff ooi website and i get worried still wants to pursue the matter event though ahmad has been dealt with by the party. lets move on

What warning??..Cakap tak serupa bikin. Arrest the Imail bugger first, then the rest of Malaysia will have some respect for the Police, and that certainly will be fair warning for anyone attempting another Ahmad Ismail. UMNO has taken action..over to you Mr Policeman. Wit so many reports against him, don't tell me not one report can touch him.
ReplyDeleteSMS are rumours, what Ahmad said are not rumours.
THIS SONG'S DEDICATED TO YOU...AHMAD dear!!
ReplyDelete(Lyrics written by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans
for Alfred Hitchcock’s 1956 re-make of his 1934 film
“The Man Who Knew Too Much” starring Doris Day and James Stewart.)
When I was just a little girl,
I asked my mother, “What will I be?
Will I be pretty?
Will I be rich?”
Here’s what she said to me:
“Que sera, sera,
Whatever will be, will be;
The future’s not ours to see.
Que sera, sera,
What will be, will be.”
When I was just a child in school,
I asked my teacher, “What will I try?
Should I paint pictures”
Should I sing songs?”
This was her wise reply:
“Que sera, sera,
Whatever will be, will be;
The future’s not ours to see.
Que sera, sera,
What will be, will be.”
When I grew up and fell in love.
I asked my sweetheart, “What lies ahead?
Will we have rainbows
Day after day?”
Here’s what my sweetheart said:
“Que sera, sera,
Whatever will be, will be;
The future’s not ours to see.
Que sera, sera,
What will be, will be.”
Now I have Children of my own.
They ask their mother, “What will I be?”
Will I be handsome?
Will I be rich?”
I tell them tenderly:
“Que sera, sera,
Whatever will be, will be;
The future’s not ours to see.
Que sera, sera,
What will be, will be.
Que Sera, Sera!”
(Danealli-Lee)
frankly it does not matter to me anymore because this country will not go anywhere with this race thing and it will always be because of the mentality and disparity of maturity towards being more open and global in the approach to life.
ReplyDeletei'm for one packing my bags to a better country that allows me to make my living based on my capabilities rather than the color of my skin.
betulah rocky... malaysia ni bombastik. mana ada bangsa malaysia. di england mana ada bangsa england atau bangsa UK. di us mana ada. yang ada black and white. di thailand ada bangsa siam. maka jadilah rakyat malaysia ikut perlembagaan... jangan nak ambil hak orang lain dengan alasan sama rata, sama hak. konon tidak perkauman dan untuk perpaduan... itu racist! hidup rocky
ReplyDeleteKENAPA DAN SAMPAI BILA.....
ReplyDeleteMASALAH perkauman menghadapi negara khasnya Barisan Nasional menampakkan betapa jelasnya kelemahan yang amat ketara kepimpinan Abdullah Badawi. Mantan perdana menteri Tun Mahathir Mohamad (Tun) dari awal lagi telah membayangkan masalah yang dihadapi negara dan BN di bawah Badawi. Kita tidak dapat lari masalah perkauman ini sejak dari Merdeka lagi. Kesannya ialah 1969. Namun kekalutan Badawi yang umum tahu adalah lemah dan diakui sendiri oleh Tun yang memilih beliau memburukkan lagi keadaan sosio-politik negara, apatah lagi keadaan ekonomi yang kian merudum. Tun saban hari mengkritik Badawi untuk letak jawatan bagi mengelakkan keadaan negara dan BN bertambah teruk! Tahniah kepada Ahmad Ismail dan semua 13 Bahagian Umno Pulau Pinang kerana berani bersuara bagi pihak Melayu Pulau Pinang yang hidup melarat walaupun Perdana Menteri dari sana. Kini Naib Presiden Umno Muhyiddin Yasin mohon Badawi serah kuasa secepat mungkin bagi membetulkan keadaan meruncing dalan negara dan BN. Umno dan BN perlu ingat bahawa walapun perpaduan kaum adalah amat penting dan kritikal, namun keadaan ekonomi kaum Melayu merempat perlu diutamakan dan ditangani segera. Persetankan golongan Melayu elit kaya raya yang perjuangkan nasib bangsa Melayu melalui slogan sahaja. Lupakan slogan hak sama rata Melayu dan bangsa Malaysia jika penderhakanya adalah kepimpinan bangsa Melayu sendiri. Jangan salahkan kaum dan bangsa lain, jika bangsa Melayu kita sendiri adalah pencipta kepada masalah yang dihadapi negara sekarang. HIDUP MELAYU!

ReplyDeleteWonder what this guy is so uptight about??
Apparently some people get upset and all so emotional when someone else do not think exactly like they do. And taking the high ground too, of course.
Me? Well, I just read here and there - including of some rabid anti-Malay comments at various blogs. All fair game under the guise of "freedom of expression", of course.
But I don't get as uptight as this guy...

Hi Guys,
ReplyDeleteRocky is right, lets drop it, Ahmad Ismail is now a household name like Lux ke ke ke and he's now a "fire brand", became a superstar in 10 days, lets move on la...
Lets not foggggg a dead horse, the carcass has been there the last 50 years and we cant change it overnight.

thanx to sin chew jit poh for triggering e issue n made malays realised the history & e constitution.
ReplyDeleteIts just the machinery gearing to what they know is inadequate punishment for Ahmad Ismail. They want the whole thing to just go away - no follow up, nothing.
ReplyDeleteuseless talk - they should arrest Ahmad and prosecute him.
ReplyDeleteHe should get at least 2 yrs jail sentence.
Or ISA him - useless law - only to be used on non Umno people.
PR have to take over soon!
Bro rockybru,
ReplyDeleteI TOTALLY AGREE. I already sick of all that had happened so far. Please Malaysian, forget politics, let unite and move on...PLEEASSEEEE!!!
sori, sin chew daily for publishing.
ReplyDeleteRocky despite your flushing what I gave you down the toilet after chewing and spitting it out without mercy,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on this (if you are not doing your doublespeak act here). I was never much for that Bangsa Malaysia utopia.
What is wrong with plain old rakyat Malaysia. Yeah a few things need rectification, we need less discrimination, more equality ( while still helping the deserving and needy regardless of race)etc.
But I am proud of my Pakistani heritage and my ancestors bloodlines.
I AM ALSO PROUD OF BEING A MALAYSIAN CITIZEN.
One thing my father pesan before he died, EVEN IF YOU GO OVERSEAS TO CARI REZEKI or get married, NEVER GIVE UP YOUR MALAYSIAN CITIZENSHIP.
That was how much my immigrant Eba loved this country.
(He also pesan NEVER MORTGAGE YOUR HOUSE FOR YOUR HUSBANDS' SAKE,NO MATTER WHAT...)
To all the commentar that said no to this HUSH post whinch bro rocky try to calm all this in the ramadhan spirit... better read this in your heart ""biar titik jangan tumpah tetapi kalau terlalu lebat titiknya tiada patik dapat menahan lagi melainkan ia akan habis melimpah. andai tidak kita tangankan patik khuatir kaki yang akan naik…” ..lu pikir la sendiri
ReplyDeleteI guess one thing still stands... Distrust.
ReplyDeleteFor your information, Rocky, for bringing in the term "It's your right and It's my right" in terms of Rakyat will bring the infighting among citizens to a whole new level. Why? Because your right and my right are different in the first place although we are of from the same land. Born and bleed in a land called Malaysia.
Lets put it this way:
Malays should just stay away from the chinese,Indians, Caucasians, Ibans and etc etc. Don't trust the non-malays as they are the "un-cleans" as they eat pig, they don't conform to our ways of life, and they have an intention to steal from us (how IRONIC).
Increase the powers of the Malays with the NEP. Don't give a damn about the others, because we should sympathize with ourselves first before others.
All non-malays should also stay away from the malays. Give the malays no rights in their community, don't trust them, treat them like how a person treats a crook. we fought for what is left of our rights and we are labeled extremist, racist.
Lets be like how the americans lived before the nineties, "It's your community and this is my community" syndrome, look down on each other. Hey we are still the RAKYAT of America, nothing wrong here (at least their constitution gave them all equal rights). If anything like the LA riots happened here in Malaysia, better hope that it does not kill us all.
If malaysia is to be burned down to the ground,it's not because of another country's interference but by our own hands.
I guess i'm too naive when i believed that WE as Malaysians could stand tall as one. No such thing as you or me but US. What a stupid thing for me to believe that I should be patriotic and die for my country.
Congratulations to you Rocky, a man that was supposed to champion for fairness and unity, had just started a mass sowing of seeds of distrust here.
I surely understand rocky for being sarcastic……. But I would love to see rocky with the idea of Rakyat Malaysia rather than Bangsa Malaysia.
ReplyDeleteI'll buy your argument Rocky once AAW and the three stooges go away!
ReplyDeleteIts too much for you Rocky, isn't it? ISA or Kemunting sends you adrenalin up, ain't it?
ReplyDeleteTuan,
ReplyDeleteCannot agree more with you Sir. Good reminder.
I totally agree with you Rocky.
ReplyDeleteWhat is so bad about being as we were before? We were living in harmony and in prosperity. We were admired by other nations for our ability to keep our multi-racial country harmonious and peaceful. And for 50 years, we have managed to keep it that way. Thanks to our forefathers and their policies that obviously worked.
So what if the Malays have special privileges? Aren’t the other races being given opportunities (unequal they may be) to prosper and to live peacefully? All the races were given FREEDOM – the power and opportunity to shape one’s own life: to house and feed a family, with security and dignity, and to practice one’s faith in peace.
Isn’t that what we all want and what people fight and give their lives for?
Go ahead. Buy a copy of the Constitution.
Take the time to read it. Understand it. And appreciate it.

ReplyDeletePerhaps, we should ask this DIGP why is he sitting on his butt, no firm actions taken on this mad cow?
The Malaysian Constitution has been amended so often (lost count) since Merdeka that no one cares to read it anymore. Were the amendments made, giving a a 'fair go' for all Malaysians?
Rocky bro, seems like the police never take any action against bangsa amno before? I-R-O-N-I-C.
ReplyDeleteFrom Your 2nd RockyBru fan.
Let's us put an end to this issue.
ReplyDeleteChinese may feel irritated of being called 'pendatangs'. But for everyone's attention; all the malays are also 'pendatangs' with respect that they come from acheh, jawa, champa, banjar, minang, bugis and so forth. What this Ahmad fellow been missing in his statement is
"the malays are pendatang too, but we come a bit earlier than the chinese and indian thus claim this beloved country Tanah Melayu.
Provides that we have considered ourself the tuan of this Tanah , dont you think we deserved to have a lil' bit of privilege?"
"Is not that the others cannot gain interest from the owner's privilege? We own some space and we are willing to share with others too!"
If this ahmad datuk can put in that context, i dont see any issues at all!
guys,
I believe we are all can lives with each other as long as we can respect our limitation and space on certain issues. I hope we could work towards that to maintain malaysian harmony and unity formula
tks
for fifty years now, let make our animosity history, we should strive to make Malaysia , a force to be reckon with.
ReplyDeleteAh chong was wrong, ahmad was wrong, muthu was wrong, now everybody should make it right.
government can come and go, but my country should stand strong forever
i love you Malaysia
Rocky,
ReplyDeleteHope "the rest" understood the sensitivities and how brittle is the "perpaduan" of the various races. The fore fathers had the vision, having gone thru issues and situation that we can only talk about and discuss on the surface. With current politicians trying to champion "populist" politics, albeit at different level,(with UMNO knee jerk reaction to please certain group within the component and Ahmad further reaction, and PKR "Bangsa Malaysia" approach), somebody need to stand up and say it out loud. The Armed Forces Chief's statement must not be taken lightly. We are not ready for this, YET. We are Rakyat Malaysia. Kita menjunjung Perlembagaan Negara.

Dear all,
ReplyDeleteThere is no race relations problem with the Rakyat. As far as the Rakyat is concerned, all is okay, everybody goes about doing their normal things in life, puasa time - all including Chinese and Indians get to buy cookies from Malay stall and enjoy them.
When I go about work, travell and mingle with all races - no problem.
NOW THE DAMN 'FCUKNGI' PROBLEM is our so called leaders. They are the ones fighting. Actually nobody from PKR, PAS or DAP is spewing all this nonsense.
This racial problem is among the BARISAN leaders. This is the doing of BARISAN leaders. Not the RAKYAT, not PKR, not PAS, not DAP.
And now, today morning papers report that our beloved leader says that race relations not so good. WHERE IS THE LOGIC LA?
PAKAI LA OTAK SIKIT.
The Deputy IGP's warning is ever more confusing to the ordinary rakyat. The Police's double standards in their past actions make a mockery of everything that blurts from their mouths.
ReplyDeleteRocky,
ReplyDeleteWhen this chap Ahmad Ismail is put on cold storage,another chap is making the water boils.Our former PM,Mahathir is trying to stir the hornets'nest.His article in his website is very disturbing and I wonder whether it is seditious or not.
Ok... Police said action will be taken against those who create racial issues.
ReplyDeleteErrr..... Why no action on this Ahmad fella lah!
Police reports have been made what..
So why no action.....??
What about the idiot who tore up the handsome picture of Dr. Koh..?
Umno's 3yrs suspension on the Ahmad fella is NOT enough. He will come back with a vengence (already said).
He might ask his goons to start some fire...
He ought to be kicked out once & for all.
Is this the way of life & education that is taught to our future generations.
We did not ask to be born a Malay, Chinese, Indian or to other races. We were just born...!!!!
We, the rakyat just want to live peacefully in Malaysia. Also to make more money....
I just wanna know..:-
Why did that Ahmad fella open his filthy mouth to condemn the Chinese?
And only the Chinese...??
What caused him to THINK & say it in the first place.....??
Can anybody answer me this ?
Name : VeryUpset
Whoa, what did the police do to solve the Ahmad Ismail issue? They kept quiet. Now, they come out and issue threats?
ReplyDeleteAisay, whatever the term is.. there needs to be respect for each other. I agree "Let's live and die by the Malaysian Constitution. Your rights, my rights ... they are all right there, spelt out in the Constitution, guaranteed by our forefathers and foremothers." . Down with ketuanan and please dun feel insecure.
Hush the fear!
ReplyDeleteThe irony of the powerful
Being afraid of the masses
Trying to cow the people
The ills of the policies
Crafted it to flow one way
Benefiting the few
The many grabbing the insignificant few
Hush it you say?
The marching has gone
Silently and effectively
Branding its own way
The changes will come
There is no hushing any more
The Constitution
It is the Supreme legislation
But so many laws passed
Encumbrances the way
The Constitution losing its claws
As the amendments made it so
Hush at our own peril!
This is what the mighty would do
Cowing the people to its bidding
Changes on its way
The March 8 had said it so
Let the moon cake festival
Reminding about how change is made
Effectively, silently and crossing nation
Nothing will stand on its way
When people decide enough is enough
Changes must come
Else colonization will punish us one more time
Hush it?
Ah the truth must be told
It will make us free!
Halo,Deputy IGP, don't give us Malaysians some hypocritical lecture about racial incitement and racial sentiment s**t.Look yourself in the mirror,have you all done your work and duty when some mamak up north HAVE BEEN RANTING ON THIS VERY ISSUE?wHY HAVE YOU NOT ARRESTED HIM ON YOUR OWN BASED ON THE LAWS IN MALAYSIA.WE ARE JUST ASKING YOU TO PERFORM YOUR DILILGENT DUTY AS THE LAW ENFORCER WITHOUT FEAR OR FAVOUR.nOTHING LESS NOTHING MORE.hAVE YOU DONE IT.IF NOT SHUT YOUR MOUTH AS NOTHING IN WARNINGS FROM YOU GUYS ARE WORTH ANYTHING.MIRROR,MIRROR ON THE WALL HAVE THE RMPF PERFORM THEIR JUST DUTIES AT ALL?

ReplyDeleteThe Consitution have been amended by UMNO..to strengthen race and religion politics.
It will be re-amended again...to be fair to all Malaysians....once Anwar is PM.
To confuse...to divide and rule...to give false hopes...to encourage corruptions...to steal and be rich...shot cut ways...to chosen few...are what UMNO have planted these 26 years.

Hi Rocky
ReplyDeleteIts ONAM tomorrow and would like to wish all Malayalees - HAPPY ONAM,to Tun Mahathir as well:)
Here's an excerpt from the ancient text for all of us to reflect upon.
The celebration of Onam resounds and chants the following tune all over Kerala:
“ When Maveli, our King, ruled the land,
All the people had equality.
And people were joyful and merry;
They were all free from harm.
There was neither anxiety nor sickness,
Death of the children was never even heard of,
There were no lies,
There was neither theft nor deceit,
And no one was false in speech either.
Measures and weights were right;
No one cheated or wronged his neighbour.
When Maveli, our King, ruled the land,
All the people formed one casteless race."
HAPPY ONAM MALAYSIA

ReplyDeleteRocky, kalau mereka dan kita tak boleh menerima istilah Rakyat Malaysia,hatta maka kita harus mengelarkan bangsa kita Rakyat Moron!
ReplyDeleteRocky,
ReplyDeleteJust accept it la, the Barisan Nasional/UMNO formula has bred people like Ahmad Ismail who cannot accept that most of us are 'warganegara'... still want to think others are 'pendatang'.
If you say "hush" so we can move on and not talk about all this racial supremacy, sure, let's "hush".
But if the underlying problem is still there, how to hush?
Must make sure all Malaysians are respectful to one another REGARDLESS of race or religion.
This is the only way.
But unfortunately, in Malaysia you got people who say one race is supreme or one religion is supreme.
Come on lah. Grow up. This isn't Nazi-era Germany!
I am truly believe everybody MUST have and understand what is 'malaysia constitution'. To all 'rakyat' pls read this written law fist before say something about others.
ReplyDeleteBetul lah Bro, lets just be Rakyat Malaysia living under the Malaysian Constitution and just celebrate our cultural and religious diversity. It seems a big majority of us nowadays just cannot raise themselves above the interest of their own race.
ReplyDeletethe police will 'verify the truth'?? wow, bold statement from woofwoof.
ReplyDeleteok, dont say i dont give chance. here is a rumour i heard. Certain someone from a something Bendera UMNO groupie tore off a photo of an ex CM and shouted at a reporter treatening to kill her. This rumour is said to have both photos and video recording now held by MSM. the rumour contunied to say that no action has been taken by the police in so far. Rumours also have it that nothing will be done although there are 2 police reports made against this fella. Dear wooffy, please tell me the truth....pretty please.
I am rakyat Malaysia=orang malaysia not Bangsa Malaysia
ReplyDelete-awang senior
dear rocky,
ReplyDeletemost of your commentors are bitter lot. And surprisingly they are old/ people (older than me that is)and adults who are supposedly to be wiser. Bleurgh. I thought that these old people who have gone through all the wars and battle and experiencing everything in the world and having camaraderie with everyone of every skincolours. Understatement.
i realised that these old people/adult are worse than us the younger/teenagers. In fact, there's no such thing as "worse than" coz i'm proud to say that we, the younger generation (EXCLUDE younger generation in politics please, they are equally shitty) just simply look beyond the colours and religions. Dare these old wrinkles accused us of being ungrateful unpatriotic bunch? shit.
i have to say again that malaysian adults/oldies are mostly stupid, unpatriotic, childish, immature, disgraceful. some of your commentors being a perfect example of it. bodoh, tak matang dan memalukan.
You know what? you old wrinkles and adult of malaysia, you can all go elsewhere and leave Malaysia alone. Let us the young generation live peacefully with each other.
~ANON11.55
It's easy to say forget about race and bangsa. The reality is that some people like that Indon pendatang Khir Toyo is all too eager to incite the ill-informed segments of the Malay community to start May 13 all over again. What is Umno going to do to this despicable, botoxed dentist who deliberately lied that the PR govt in Selangor is trying to hush up the Muslim call to prayers from the mosques? Suspend him? I think not. The hushing is to be observed only by the non-Malays. I live just a few yards from the mosque. So do countless other non-Malays in my neighbourhood. In all my 30 years here, I have never heard a single complaint about the call to prayer. In fact, I welcome it as a blessed time of the day. And when my Muslim neighbours stream past my house on their way to the mosque they never fail to greet me. Ordinary Malaysians love one another. It's the politicans who incite fear and hatred. Well, go hush those people, Rocky.
ReplyDeleteLipreader
Rocky. The Malaysian Constitution stipulate: "Part I [1](1) The Federation shall be known, in Malay and in English by the name Malaysia", so legally the nationality of the people of this country is Malaysian. It is as simple as that.
ReplyDeleteLet move on as Malaysian and participate in the change for a better Malaysia.
Have a nice day.
a classic case where BN especially UMNO goons are above the law. After uttering so many racial slurs, Ahmad was only suspended by UMNO, try imagine if someone from Pakatan Rakyat or any bloggers, in less than 24 hours they will be put to jail. It shows that the police only acts when they receive order from PM, this is exactly what we need to change, but with DrM coming back, i doubt we will be able to change.
ReplyDeleteIn line with your "hush" request, we must read the following, which I hope will help all Malaysians regardless of race or religion unite and see through the smokescreen.
ReplyDeleteThis is an interview of Tunku Abdul Rahman, our 1st Prime Minister:
The Real Story of May 13
By Raja Petra
This is Part One of an article I wrote almost nine years ago, which was published in Harakah, the official media organ of the Islamic Party of Malaysia (PAS). History is not something that should remain buried. History is something that should be a lesson to all or us so that we do not repeat the mistakes made by those before us.
In 1968, Umno fanned racial sentiments in a bid to 'unite' the Malays under its banner. Umno realised that the Malays were abandoning it in droves and it needed an issue to reunite the Malays. Further to that, the Prime Minister was being blamed for what Umno perceived as a loss of Malay support and the Young Turks in Umno wanted to also use this issue to pressure the Prime Minister into resigning.
Twenty years later, in 1988, Umno again went into turmoil with the emergence of Team A and Team B, which eventually split into Umno Baru and Semangat 46. Again, just like twenty years before that, the Malays had become disillusioned with the Umno leadership and there was a danger that Umno would suffer the same fate it did in 1969 if the general election was called.
The Umno leadership very cleverly got the Umno Youth and MCA Youth leaders to raise racial issues and bring the country to the brink of another ‘May 13’. This was when that infamous gathering at the TPCA padang in Kampong Baru was held and when Najib Tun Razak, the Umno Youth Leader, raised the keris and threatened to bathe it in Chinese blood.
Of course, this second ‘May 13’ never happened. What did happen instead was that Operasi Lalang was launched and more than 100 opposition leaders and activists were detained under the Internal Security Act. Najib and the MCA Youth Leader, Lee Kim Sai, however, were spared detention, although they were the two main players in the whole episode.
The ploy did not quite succeed though. In the 1990 general election, half the Malays swung to the opposition and Umno lost most of the Malay heartland to Semangat 46 and PAS.
Twenty years on and history is, again, being repeated. It appears like every twenty years Umno takes the country to the brink of a race riot in its effort to 'unite' the Malays and to ensure that it does not lose Malay support. And the 8 March 2008 general election, as well as the recent Permatang Pauh by-election, is proof that Umno has lost Malay support.
“The current situation is a repeat of 1969,” said Umno in its brainstorming session held at the Umno headquarters to conduct a post-mortem of the election results. “Therefore, a 1969 ‘solution’ will also be required.”
This is very dangerous talk indeed. And Umno has been doing nothing but talking dangerously since March 2008, as evident in the recent episode in Penang. Maybe the culprit has since been punished. Yesterday, Umno’s Supreme Council decided to suspend Ahmad Ismail for a period of three years. But the damage has already been done and the suspension can’t turn back the clock. Racial sentiments have already been fanned and Malaysia, again, is being pushed to the brink of a race riot.
Malays, Chinese and Indians need to know how May 13 started. They must be made aware of what May 13 was really all about. They must be made to realise that the current sabre-rattling is nothing but the same ploy that Umno used back in 1968 and 1988 whenever it felt that it was losing Malay support. May 13 was not about race although it is being touted as so. May 13 was about ‘reuniting’ the Malays and about ousting the Prime Minister from office.
To forget history would be to repeat its mistakes. Let us not be taken in by Umno’s shadow-play (wayang kulit). They know they are rapidly losing power and they want to retain power through foul means by raising the spectre of May 13. Malaysians need to be matured and clever enough to reject this ploy. Umno can try, but whether it can succeed will all depend on whether we get suckered into this very dangerous race game.
Let me take you down memory lane and recap what I wrote nine years ago so that we may learn from this dark history and not repeat what went wrong. As follows is what I wrote in Harakah on 24 September 2008.
*************************************************
A REPORTER’S ACCOUNT OF AN INTERVIEW WITH TUNKU ABDUL RAHMAN ON THE 13 MAY INCIDENT
The following statement is a factual account of the above-mentioned event given to me by the late Tunku Abdul Rahman (first Prime Minister of Malaysia) during an interview at his residence in Penang in 1972. I requested to discuss the above incident and was surprised when the appointment was given within three days.
His Secretary, a Chinese gentleman, allotted me one hour and advised me not to go into too much detail as this would tire the Tunku unnecessarily. In fact, the interview lasted three and a half hours. Because of the very surprising details provided to me, I think it would be best to report in a first-hand manner based on my notes written immediately after the interview.
“It was clear to me as well as the police that in the highly charged political atmosphere after the police were forced to kill a Chinese political party worker on May 4th, 1969, something was bound to happen to threaten law and order because of the resentment towards the Government by the KL Chinese on the eve of the general election. This was confirmed at this man’s funeral on the 9th May when the government faced the most hostile crowd it had ever seen.
Therefore, when the opposition parties applied for a police permit for a procession to celebrate their success in the results of the general election, I was adamant against it because the police were convinced that this would lead to trouble. I informed Tun Razak about this and he seemed to agree.
Now, without my knowledge and actually “behind my back”, there were certain political leaders in high positions who were working to force me to step down as a PM. I don’t want to go into details but if they had come to me and said so I would gladly have retired gracefully.
Unfortunately, they were apparently scheming and trying to decide on the best way to force me to resign. The occasion came when the question of the police permit was to be approved.
Tun Razak and Harun Idris, the MB of the state of Selangor, now felt that permission should be given, knowing fully well that there was a likelihood of trouble. I suppose they felt that when this happened they could then demand my resignation.
To this day I find it very hard to believe that Razak, whom I had known for so many years, would agree to work against me in this way. Actually he was in my house, as I was preparing to return to Kedah, and I overhead him speaking to Harun over the phone saying that he would be willing to approve the permit when I left. I really could not believe what I was hearing and preferred to think it was about some other permit. In any case, as the Deputy Prime Minister, in my absence from KL, he would be the Acting PM and would override my objection.
Accordingly, when I was in my home in Kedah, I heard over the radio that the permit had been approved.
It seems as though the expected trouble was anticipated and planned for by Harun and his UMNO Youth. After the humiliating insults hurled by the non-Malays, especially the Chinese, and after the seeming loss of Malay political power to them, they were clearly ready for some retaliatory action.
After meeting in large numbers at Harun’s official residence in Jalan Raja Muda near Kampong Bahru, and hearing inflammatory speeches by Harun and other leaders, they prepared themselves by tying ribbon strips on their foreheads and set out to kill Chinese. The first hapless victims were two of them in a van opposite Harun’s house who were innocently watching the large gathering. Little did they know that they would be killed on the spot.
The rest is history. I am sorry but I must end this discussion now because it really pains me as the Father of Merdeka to have to relive those terrible moments. I have often wondered why God made me live long enough to have witnessed my beloved Malays and Chinese citizens killing each other.”
This was a conspiracy at the highest level and nothing short of a power struggle, with the ‘Young Turks’ then forming the pressure group. To achieve their ends, they very cleverly used race to make the Malays rise and push the Tengku aside.
Today, they are doing it again. This is dangerous politics. It may backfire and, instead, it may make the Malays rise against the non-Malays, like what happened in 1969 -- a fire raging out of control with no fire extinguisher in sight.
We must never allow our country to be turned into a racial battlefield again. Let politics be issues concerning policies, civil rights, good governance and justice. Let us not allow anyone to bring race and religion into our politics lest we suffer the fate of many countries around us where mass murders of entire families are made in the name of ‘bangsa’ and ‘agama’.

The Bernama report "The police today warned of stern action against people who make racially sensitive statements which can cause tension and undermine public order."
ReplyDeleteThat is such a general statement. And generally any Malaysian reading it tends to look at DAP and maybe Keadilan to see who that is being addressed.
Fact is since 8 March the racist statements that are being made have mostly come from UMNO members.
Gerakan and MCA, still licking their wounds of 8 March and with their leaders having to show that they are real leaders to their own members have been the ones responding to these provocative statements made by UMNO members.
But when have ever the police taken in an UMNO member or a BN component party member for such racist incitements?
So of what value is this warning issued now?
And of course this sems to follow Badawi's prognosis that the state of race relations is unhealthy.
Following that assumption I suppose certain actions are warranted.
But surely it won't be anything like taking in an UMNO member!! What about Ahmad Ismail? Now if what Ahmad Ismail said was offensive, then they got to also take in Hishamuddin for his Keris waving antics which cost the BN far more than Ahmad Ismail.
What about the Biro Tatanegara? They do worse things that what Ahmad Ismail is supposed to have said. But no action is going to be directed that way is it?
Sadly Ahmad Ismail is being made a scape goat. But then again looking at how Mahathir Mohammad is responding to this whole episode, it could be that Ahmad Ismail does not mind being the scape goat as the ultras can now surface.
This whole thing sounds more like a sandiwara put together to create teh conditions necessary to take more drastic actions maybe to secure for BN their continued rule of the country.
But then again by saing that I am giving the UMNO strategists too much credit. After all, if their capability and calibre is to be measured by all of their actions and stratgies adopted since the last parliament was dissolved until the packing off of 51 MPs to Taiwan, one has to wonder why on earth the people of Malaysai would want these jouveniles to lead the country. I reckon they may not even possess the little brain needed to operate a kindergarten, let alone a country.
Saya merujuk kepada kes Ahmad Ismail dimana beliau mengatakan bahawa Kaum Cina di Malaysia dahulu adalah PENUMPANG.Lebih jelas lagi adalah PENDATANG. Ahmad Ismail memang betul tetapi tidak semua Kaum CIna adalah PENDATANG kerana lihat daripada sejarah KESULTANAN MELAYU ramai kaum CINA di terima oleh SULTAN-SULTAN sebagai rakyat mereka. Tetapi kemasukan Kaum Cina dan India ke Tanah Melayu adalah kerana mereka datang untuk berkerja sama ada datang sendiri atau dibawa oleh pihak BRITISH dan JEPUN.
ReplyDeleteBagi saya secara rasionalnya apa yang dikatakan oleh AHMAD ISMAIL adalah benar belaka tetapi ia adalah didalam konteks SEJARAH.
Jika dia memainkan isu perkauman maka memang di patut dihukum tetapi apa yang ditekankan semasa ceramah dia di PErmatang PAuh adalah untuk mengingatkan Kaum CIna supaya bersyukur kerana mereka diberi STATUS KERAKYATAN yang sebenarnya ditentang oleh kebanyakan orang-orang melayu yang dibawah naungan SULTAN-SULTAN,itulah sebab utama ORANG MELAYU menolak MALAYAN UNION,namun begitu atas semangat timbangrasa ORANG MELAYU maka mereka dapat menerima ORANG-ORANG BUKAN MELAYU diberi HAK KERAKYATAN DI TANAH MELAYU.
HAK KERAKYATAN ITU ADALAH SUCI DIDALAM PERLEMBAGAAN, maka tiada sesiapa pun yang layak dan berhak menafikan HAK KERAKYATAN seseorang itu sama ada dia itu MELAYU,CINA atau INDIA atau apa-apa BANGSA pun.
Demikian juga sama hal nya dengan HAK KEISTIMEWAAN MEALYU DAN ISLAM yang terkandung didalam PERLEMBAGAAN.. TIADA SIAPA PUN LAYAK DAN BERHAK UNTUK MEMPERSOALKAN HAK ITU SAMAADA ORANG MELAYU,CINA ATAUPUN INDIA.
KENAPA?? KERANA HAK KEISTIMEWAAN ORANG MELAYU DAN ISLAM ADALAH BALASAN HAK KERAKYATAN DIBERI KEPADA ORANG BUKAN MELAYU. MAKA KITA HARUSLAH MENGHORMATI HAK MASING-MASING.
JADI JANGAN LAH SESIAPA PUN BERANI MEMPERTIKAIKAN HAK MASING-MASING.
MEMANG SEKARANG KITA NAMPAK UMNO MENGGUNAKAN HAK KEISTIMEWAAN ITU SEPENUHNYA TETAPI ADAKAH IA SALAH? TIDAK KERANA IA TERMAKTUB DALAM PERLEMBAGAAN. ADAKAH ORANG MELAYU MENGHALANG ORANG CINA DAN INDIA MENERUSKAN HIDUP MEREKA ATAU MENGHALAU MEREKA KELUAR DARIPADA NEGARA INI? TIDAK SAMA SEKALI..
Jika AHMAD ISMAIL dikatakan bersifat perkauman,bagaimana pula KARPAL SINGH dan LIM KIT SIANG yang hendakkan Artikel 153 dihapuskan,bukankah itu satu sikap PERKAUMAN?? Dan tidak menghormati PERLEMBAGAAN..
Bagaimana pula dengan Teresa Kok yang ingin supaya Tulisan Jawi di buang di semua PapanTanda Jalan di Lembah Kelang? Bukankah itu satu sikap PERKAUMAN (buat pengetahuan orang bukan melayu bahawa bahasa melayu dahulu adalah ditulis dalam bahasa JAWI (arab) bukan rumi).
Maka pada pendapat saya sesipa pun yang mengungkit perkara yang mempertikaikan HAK-HAK YANG TELAH TERMAKTUB DIDALAM PERLEMBAGAAN dia harus di tahan menggunakan ISA sama ada orang itu orang politik atau tidak.
Jika kenyataan orang politik itu boleh menjurus kepada rusuhan maka tahan dia baik UMNO,MCA,DAP,MIC,PKR,PAS,SAPP,PBS,LDP,PPP dan semua NGO's.
If we dont like the government just vote againt them in next election,dont stir up problem that can cause chaos.
I dont hate my chinese and indian neighbour,in fact we are very good to each other plus other children go to school together.
Sometimes if you all POLITICIAN ask too much,question too much,complaining too much,arguing too much,thats what actually divide US.
I think and this is i think the most appropicate way for us,all malaysian,to be together is to abolish all other school except the NATIONAL SCHOOL so that our children can life and learn together.Is that what all of us want,isnt it!! Stop training to fight for your right to practice MANDARIN or TAMIL because you can also learned it in the NATIONAL SCHOOL.Make it a MUST to have the SUBJECT in MANDARIN and TAMIL.Then all of our children can speaks 4 languages.
Oelh itu kawan-kawan semua HORMATI lah HAK-HAK yang ada pada kita.JAngan cuba mempertikaikan HAK orang lain kerana HAK anda juga akan dipertikaikan.
Sayangi diri anda,keluarga anda,jiran anda,bangsa anda,bahasa anda,agama anda dan paling utama sekali kesejahteran,keharmonian,keamanan dan kedamaian NEGARA KITA MALAYSIA..
Why forget Bangsa Malaysia? Bangsa Malaysia is what we should see ourselves - as one. Start back the Muhibah spirit and help each other.
ReplyDeleteThink of us all as going to the Olympic, competing with the world.
Do we still try to bring down our team? Do we send the second best to compete just because the best is of a different race or religion? No, isn't it? We should send the best irrespective of race or religion because when we win we win as Malaysian.
Same with us all working for the betterment of Malaysia. When we work together, the economy will improve and we all win because of the multipler effect.
Hi Ricky
ReplyDeleteSo after these RatsBrats politicians have turned BolehLand into chaos, are they now asking the Policie to turn the screws on bloggers too? Are we going to see a sanitised Rocky Bru whose pot will only now brew clear broth than cream of chicken or mushroom? Yes this Red Alert is timely but since DIGP warned everyone I guess both sides are as guilty.
So now you want us to redturn to be rakyat, back to the 'good ole days' and go back to blogging about the best ice kacing or curry laksa or how to handle our ingrown toe nail and not bother what em politicians are up too is it? Blog about everything good and nice like watching powerfull gals?
For me if they have not created a reason for me to blog I would be as complacent as a brinjal until it is put to good use.
Anyways hope we won't see you in future more than a postbox or postman Rocky.

Syabas Rocky, Now I salute You. Inilah pemikiran yang betul.

Hi Chee Keng Wee,
ReplyDeleteFirstly I am Malaysian of Chinese descendant. Of course, we all know that Ahmad fella had made remarks and actions that anger not only Malaysians of Chinese descendant but all right-minded Malaysians.
He and his group have got their personal agenda capitalising on the charged emotions they created. They wanted commotions to get attention and had been very successful so far. They just fall short of turning Malaysia into chaos thanks to all right-minded Malaysian who don't fall into their traps.
Just think if Malaysia is chaotic with racial disharmony would it contribute positively to Malaysia our beloved country and our personal economy and put bread on everyone's table? No!
Would it be better that now actions had been taken against him by our government and their leaders, we just let begone be begone. Why dwell on the non-productive issues. There are more important things for all of us Malaysians to attend to such as getting our country back steadily on her feet to face the global challenges. Don't let these issues dragged on, draining our energy and distracting us from the big picture.
That's all rocky's bru is urging all of us to do. Nothing else. Don't read too much between the lines.
Let's us join our hands and hearts to make Malaysia a better place for ourselves and our future generations.
Thank you
And let the Federal Constitution be made a compulsory topic in the Civic classes in school, from Standard 1 to Form 6. And let it be studied in the tertiary level too!

ReplyDeletespyleman
There is no such thing as Bangsa Malaysia!!
ReplyDeleteIts all an eye wash a political strategy.
On one hand "Bangsa Malaysia" and on the other seperate Chinese schools, Tamil schools..
In reality as Farish Noor said, Malaysia is an Abstract concept, no such thing as Malaysian race can ever exist.
All can be Malaysian citizens.
If it has to be one race, everyone should have something COMMON, language, culture, religion (atleast language & culture defines race) - which does not occur so, because here we have people who insist on being what they are (and why shouldn't one maintain that way - else the person shall loose all his ancestry)
With people like Ahmad and Khir Toyo resorting to racial politics, the statements by the head of the arm forces and also the police are timely.
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed, we are all citizens of Malaysia...Multiracial Malaysia.The rights of all the citizens irregardless of races are enshrined in our Constitution.Lies and fitnah during "bulan yang mulia" are especially unacceptable!
Dear Rocky,
ReplyDeleteI had no problems with the word rakyat but I had problems with the word "Hush ...!"
Why hush when a certain segment of the rakyat said something offensive to another segment of the rakyat? Are we not after all ALL rakyat Malaysia?
Is it racially sensitive if I challenge whether this guy got a punishment that commensurate with his transgression?
I'm not challenging an entire race. Nor am I challenging you. All I'm asking is why hush?
If we can't talk about it in a rational manner and revisit what was intended by our founding fathers with the federal constitution, how else are we going to leave this quagmire behind?
May I remind you that Raja Nazrin Shah said this;
"Discussing issues openly can only be good for society. It is even better if discussions take place in a rational, informed and constructive manner. This way people will be able to contribute to discussions on matters that affect them .... Sweeping things under the carpet cannot be the answer. It will only postpone the day when we have to deal with them, when the situation may be worse."
Ps. I've made it a point to read your blog daily and you've been consistent throughout but your last 2 posts indicated a shift in your outlook.
If I'm mistaken then please accept my apologies for being sarcastic with my earlier comment and it would help if you could explain further.

ReplyDeletei am malaysian chinese. honestly this whole thing being politicised with amazing irrationality. i dont care two hoots what that fat guy say about my race. it is called free speech! what matters is the constitution. it's intact, as long as the BN does not hv 2/3 majority. get on with our lives people.
ReplyDeleteQuit the blaming and look at the solutions.
ReplyDeleteThis has always been there and waiting for all of us to be. Let's party as Malaysians and move on.
I frequent Jakarta and even have an office there... If Rakyat Malaysia want to be recognised by Bangsa Malaysia... then we should follow Bangsa indonesia...
ReplyDeleteThere is no such thing as Chinese school in Indonesia? but our chinese friends still fight to protect the school here in Malaysia...
There is no Lim Ah Hong in Indonesia but he is known as Jemmy Santonius...
i known a chinese indonesian but he can't really understand mandarin or hokkien... all he knows is Bahasa Indonesia...
So... are we prepared to do that for the sake of Bangsa Malaysia??/ If we still think that the chinese goes to chinese school... the indians goes to indian school... we can forget about Bangsa Malaysia....
p/s: I was at a pasar with my mother... she compliments a chinese towkey for his fluent bahasa melayu... but i think she shouldn't compliment the towkey... after being a "warganegara" for so long he must be fluent.... i can see there's a lot of chinese who can't even speak a proper bahasa melayu......
Rocky, I am a bit puzzled to why the laungan 'HIDUP MELAYU' doesn't seem racist whereas it would not be the case if others say 'HIDUP INDIA' or 'HIDUP CINA' in our beloved country Malaysia.

ReplyDeleteHow can we no be so divided after reading 100's of these comments? How can we ever be called Malaysian when each still fighting for their distinctive race?
By the way, I guess those who wants to debate further on history of who come first and who come last, please seek information in the British Council Library. Our Malaysian histoy have all be destroy and erase so that other races do not know how their decentant came to Malaya. Malaysia only existed in 16th September 1963. Malaya gets her Independent from the British in 31st August 1957. Please remember the Federal Constitution guarantees for all Malaysian and not to a so call single race of supermacy modified by the UMNO (Undemocratic Malay Nazi Organisation).
If we can call ourselves a Malaysian, we must unit regardness of race to develop this nation which has already been destroy by politic master.
We need a change to rebuilt this nation. There is alot to do to rebuilt this damaged nation.

bro,
ReplyDeleteit's been 51 years now. today, we are still talking about the same unsettled problem, bangsa,race, rakyat bla, bla bla.
the moral of the story is, "kalau jumpa ular dan umno, pijak umno dulu kasi lumat" menyusahkan rakyat je.
jggo,
ReplyDeleteI knew somebody would like to use the Indonesian context and ask other diverse ethnic groups to be formed to a majority, aka the Malay. I am totally ok with that with one learning from the context of Indonesia - that all Indonesian citizens are equal. You can harp about them not having chinese schools, Indian names or Kadazan language .. but all are accepted equally there. So, please dun preach to us that "you should be grateful" cause in both countries, it is just different kind of discrimination. At least the Indonesian can claim equal nationality.
If your criteria of model citizenship is to speak fluent BM, then you are missing the big picture. Many can speak a diverse set of language that helps us in our life,work around Asia n beyond. Diversity should be celebrated and your view is remisniscent of our education system propoganda.
i hope Mahathir come back fast to UMNO to close the matter once and for all..only he can shut these people up.
