I should change what I have written ‘a few cars’ to ‘few cars, plus two Lamborghinis’

Would May 13 happen again? It can’t if it is not organized. The NOC type of administration continues, except that the parliament is there to project the image of ‘parliamentary democracy’.

Has racial harmony in the country improved over 1969? Definitely not.

Would the ordinary Malays cause trouble if UMNO loses the election? Definitely not, otherwise they would not have voted PAS and other opposition parties. How else would UMNO lose?

Does that mean you’re right?

“Few cars” on the street as in “few”?? You gotta be jokin’! Even undergrads were driving cars. A first year female Chinese Economics student was driving a yellow Lamborghini to lectures. The other Lamborghini was owned by the Chairman of Bank Bumiputra who was burnt alive when his car caught fire in the early hours of the morning.

“It is impossible to organize a repeat of May 13.”

The race riots started with sufficient spontaneity to suggest that it could happen again. Certain political elements exploited the circumstances for their own political ends and gave the appearance that it was completely ‘organized’. The fact remains that the riots did not take off as a pre-planned initiative to suspend Parliament and have it replaced by the NOC.

If similar riots were to happen (God forbid!) today it will be widespread.

Well, the 30% and much more is already there. The year 2010 is tentatively fixed as the date to announce it, if they choose to do so.

There are people around, especially the non-Malays who are ready to apologize for UMNO that it would be political suicide for UMNO if it ends NEP. Having been bullied since 1957, half a century now, non-Malays in bolehland seem to have developed ‘defeatist gene’ in their DNA, to accept willingly ketuanan UMNO. To them UMNO is entitled to rule forever. Accordingly UMNO can be excused for not taking responsibilities as elected representatives of Malaysans if the right policies could alienate some voters. So, UMNO is entitled to divide and rule, through NEP.

The Siqiu group told TDM what they wanted the government to be fair to all races, and in return they would vote for BN. After having obtained non-Malay votes, TDM turned around and called them extremists.

We have been expressing our hope that UMNO would come to their senses to terminate NEP, which has proven to be the only cause why Malaysia has become a Bolehland, trailing behind many countries in per capital GDP when we should have been ahead of them. What is worse is that a harmonious multiracial and multi religious country of the pre 1969 days has become one that requires the prop of state-organized open houses to give the impression of racial harmony. That is supplemented by the so-called national services costing billions ringgit in public funds. Of course there are leakages going to the well connected pockets; so make-belief harmony is more rewarding than the real thing.

Apart from UMNO threathening May 13, the component non-Malay parties are whispering May 13. The condition for a repeat of May 13 where the power of a MB hanging in the hand of an independent candidate will not happen again. Besides, it would be too costly to invite part-time political workers to get physical next time around. There were only a few cars on the streets in 1969 where the probability of getting the desired effects were high; it is not so now. In short, it is impossible to organize a repeat of May 13.

The non-Malays BN parties whisper to the ears of their supporters that they were the champions to get a few scholarships for the non-Malays, and thus did the communities great services. Had there been no NEP, and had the government been fair, these students that obtained their scholarships would have gotten them as a matter of course. On the other matters, the non-Malays did not have a say or influence on the policies decided by UMNO. In fact UMNO need not have to address the issues regarding policy decisions which are unfair to the non-Malays; they only had to say that the other component parties agreed and are party to the decisions, as so often stated by TDM. Without the non-Malays in the Cabinet, UMNO would have to be circumspect as to the opinions within and without Malaysia. The ruling UMNOputras can tell their supporters that they have to steal with fineness. In the process, UMNO might improve in its adminstration.

UMNO cannot be trusted. Non-Malays component parties facilitate UMNO excesses. Non-Malays should vote opposition, including for PAS. Let us excercise our right to rock the boat, since reform within UMNO will never happen.

See how AAB shuddered and squirmed when Martin very gently and politely asked about the NEP.

See AAB talked about PROTON.

See AAB talk about RHB/EPF.

Then decide for yourself if you want to cast your vote for BN with this hero at the helm.

As for me…my vote (and my friends too) are reserved for DAP/PKR. We need a sea change, like they say. Clean sweep…sweep out the bad luck & bad policies of TDM/AAB’s administrations.
