		<description>After 50 years of independence, we are still faced with the keris-waving antics of no less a person than the Minister of Education stirring up the emotions with symbolism that could well be read as &#039;fight for privileged supremacy&#039; as much as &#039;ready and willing to spill blood at the slightest provocation.&#039; After 50 years of indepence, as a 3rd generation &#039;tanah air&#039;-born Malaysian with children who have been taught to love this country of their birth and to be proud of being Malaysians, we have senior UMNO politicians deriding non-Malays and telling us to leave if we do not knuckle under the heavy yoke of UMNO-Malay dominated race politics. How can I as a parent tell my children to have their children invest their lives in this country for the next 50 years when at every possible occasion that suits the UMNO politicians&#039; whims and fancies, my children and their children have to stare at the sharp end of a keris and swallow being &#039;chased out&#039; of their country of birth? Why must we face the threat of a keris within our own country and is this not be even worse than facing the sharp end of a sword wielded by a potential invader? Will it ever happen that the keris will indeed be used someday and how does this does this compare with losing our lives if we are called upon to defend our country against invaders? It would seem that we must be prepared to lose our lives to defend our country and lose our lives if we want to live as true equals. If this is happening with non-Malays making up 40% of the population, what could possibly be the scenario when the non-Malay population declines to no more than 20% by 2050, a mere 43 years away? If our educated politicians and intelligentsia have not been able to steer the rakyat away from such divisive race politics, is there a chance that we will succeed over the next 50 years? It appears that we are no better than when the Alliance forged nationhood against a common foe and foreign masters. Now, 50 years later, we are still trying to forge &#039;nationhood&#039;; only, the common foe is no longer around and yet we still do not really know nor are willing to begin to truly discover and embrace what being Malaysian is. Today, it is words that are used to chase non-Malays out. In 2050, will words be replaced by the keris?</description>

		<description>Let me get this clear, Chinese in Malaysia came from China, Indians from India, Portugese from Portugal, the Malays???  Where were they from?  I understand that the real natives of the land are the Ibans, Kadazans, etc....  So how did they get to &#039;belong&#039; to the land and the others who were also born in the country don&#039;t.  Just a curious japanese girl from Japan.</description>

		<description>Boh-liao, forget about the Rukunegara! I have been drumming this all along. They write for the sake of writing only and they legislate because they have to legislate. Do they ever follow or at least take a good look at what they have written or legislated? The Rukunegara is but a messy, tattered piece of paper meant only for use in one place, the toilet to wipe our asses! It stinks! Nobody ever took an interest in its contents, not even the formulators themselves! Inilah MALAYSIA BOLEH!</description>

		<description>The bumis will continue to use threat like may 13, waving the bloody keris &amp; to use it if possible to kill/wipe off human race if necessary. Who r the bumis- sons of the soil for burial or survival or for developments and unity of all humans?</description>

		<description>After 50 years of independence, how many of the &quot;original migrants&quot; from China and India are still around in Malaysia? Most of the descendents of these people have been here for half a century, in a land they cannot call &quot;home&quot;. This is a disgrace. The government has set up so many &quot;smoke screens&quot; to blind the people of their true actions. The Kementerian Perpaduan Negara to foster &quot;muhibbah&quot; was set up immediately after the May 13 incident and this is followed by the Rukunegara. All these were purported to give the non-bumis a sense of &quot;security&quot; that the government will &quot;behave&quot; themselves. 

But, since 1969, has the government ever taken steps towards what they have formulated? Today, i doubt many of the ministers and senior government official can remember a single word of the &quot;Rukunegara&quot;. What has happened to this great &quot;document&quot; which was made so &quot;holy&quot; those days that each and every student in schools had to recite it holding up their right hand under the hot sun during assembly? Everyone practically swore to the document and if the contents of it is in no way true or becoming true, then wouldn&#039;t that amount to blasphemy? 

This has been the way the BN has been acting to cover up for all the &quot;boo-boos&quot; they have committed, recommending &quot;instant antidotes&quot; to cover their shameful acts. Ask any government official, or better still our Menteri Perpaduan what the wordings in the Rukunegara &quot;membina masyarakat yang adil&quot; mean and how much has the government done to achieve this objective? How can it be ADIL if the &quot;bumiputera special rights&quot; remain? This is a mockery to the Rukunegara and the Constitution and in this respect, the Rukunegara would only be fit to be used as &quot;toilet paper&quot; or be thrown into the garbage bin.</description>

		<description>To side track ...

I would like to bring attention to the readers of this blog, a section of &quot;Raja Petra perlu di tahan bawah ISA&quot; article by Khairy Norhisham on Monday, 27 August 2007 in an Umno website.

&quot;Jika kita amati dengan teliti, kita dapat merasakan ada pihak yang sedang cuba membakar api perkauman dan ada pihak yang cuba melagakan bangsa Melayu dan bangsa-bangsa asing kerana tidak senang dengan keamanan dan keharmonian masyarakat majmuk di Malaysia.&quot;

... &quot;melagakan bangsa Melayu dan bangsa-bangsa asing&quot;, Khairy Norhisham is referring non-Malays as ALIENS OR FOREIGNERS !!!! Chinese, Indians and other minorities are non-Malaysian !!! Suddenly we the non-Malays are non-Malaysian just before 50th Merdeka celebrate.

YB Lim Kit Siang, please comments on.</description>

		<description>As an aside to what I wrote earlier, one BIG IMPORTANT and SIGNIFICANT issue which might be the catalyst to end the bum-nonbumi divide is to do away altogeter the labels of BUMI AND NON-BUMI.  That would be a good start.  If only, once and forever, we all can claim our rightful title of being MALAYSIAN, perhaps the cyclop can then be vanquished and the blind will be more visionary.  Ah, the daily pursuit of DAY DREAMS.  They are a regular pastimes for many, I&#039;m sure ........sigh.</description>

		<description>Dr Azly, at last a true blue Malaysia.  But alas how few of you are there to make the effort heard and acted on more.  The majority of the privileged bumis unfortunately are too coy in their comfort zone of being fed that people like Dr Azly becomes a threat to their survival.  Yes, this very survival which has been kept healthy by the politicians and UMNO by their constant and relentless spoon feeding to keep the un-aspiring bumis satisfied so that the people in power can remain in power to continue with their economic plunder of the country.  There is very little hope for the future of the non-bumis and I do not say this carelessly.  

Look at the recent turn of events that make it impossible to work even as professional consultants when projects less than RM30 millions must be doled out to bumi consultants.  Are these bumi professionals so lacking in skills and/or expertise to practise in an even playing field to need such affirmative actions to?  I shudder to think how many failures will result from their &quot;professional&quot; capability with such &quot;easy&quot; handouts - again.  All that is required in times of failures is another bailout and another bailout.  Not only are the bumis being pampered to the ridiculous, but, more alarmingly, they have become utterly incompetent to even know what fish is given to them on a platter.  

So, Dr Azly, even as I applaud your very heartening write-up, I yearn to be woken from this day dreaming.  The country will never do away with what you propose until there is nothing more to plunder from its resources.  And when that time comes, the non-bumis will be blamed - again.  Such is the blindness of the bumis.  And with the people in power making sure they remain blind by giving them affirmative privileges of one kind or another when earlier actions become routine.  And with a kingdom of the blind, the cyclop remains and reigns supreme - forever.  Thank you, Dr Azly, but no more such soothing balm - it remains in Never Neverland for the non-bumis for as long as Malaysia does not aspire to be truly Malaysian in thoughts, actions and dreams.</description>

		<description>The general perception Malay leaders gave the non Malays is they will stick together in all circumtances, fairness and reasonableness of their decisions are secondary, and any Malay who does not agree with them would be called a traitor.</description>

		<description>&quot;Dr Azly, I am pleased to see we have a educated Malay to speak out something fair and reasonable to the nations. &quot;


A case of racial profiling? 

Are we to understand that the average Malay is not &quot;educated&quot; and cannot speak out &quot;something fair and reasonable&quot;??</description>

		<description>Chinese and Indian citizen are supposed to be BUMIPUTRA too:

They are &quot;diPUTERAkan di BUMI&quot; Malaysia too..

Discrimination against any races as practiced by present government is a Sin against humanity and God</description>

		<description>Dr. Azly,

You are one of the people that stands up for all races,by taking thing as a whole,with consideration regarding all the races in Malaysia.

In Malaysia,all different races seem to be united,but it is saddening to say that the unity, in actual fact,is superficial.

Today I went to school,to celebrate the so-called Merdeka Ceremony.
At first I thought that there would be only some sort of boring speech by headmaster and some competition regarding mendeklamasi sajak.Never would I expect the teacher that was giving the speech actually touched about 513 event again.IN FACT,WHOEVER THAT CAME TO GIVE A SPEECH NEVER FAIL TO TALK ABOUT 513 event.This is the so-called Merdeka Ceremony in my school.

In fact,if Bumiputra got hold of 30% of the share,it does not matter.What I hope for is fairness in education.

EDUCATION,everybody should be given a chance to prove that he or she is capable of entering the national university.The existence of Matrikulasi that consists of 90% Bumiputra and 10 % non-Bumiputra,had really made the competition among students,very unfair.I read from all sorts of entries from all sorts of forums,non-bumiputra that got 4.0 for STPM cannot even get into top 3 favoured subjects.

I wonder that Bumiputra that study in MRSM would know the exact situation of how other races there struggling to enter national university.As a result,those non-bumiputra that cannot get into local university,are forced to leave and pursue their education at other places like National University of Singapore.

Funny.While Singapore is absorbing all type of talents around the world,Malaysia is letting go all type of talents in the country.Like that,how can Wawasan 2020 be achieved?

I sigh,from deep into my heart regarding the situation now.</description>

		<description>Do you know that Singaporeans commemorate Racial Harmony Day on every 21 July?

Why 21 July? On this day in 1964, Singapore saw racial riots. It was the worst racial riot ever happened in Singapore.

Singaporeans make an effort to remind themselves that people of different races must understand and tolerate each other in order to live in peace and harmony. Thus they turned tragedy into strength by remembering 21 July and working proactively towards racial harmony so as to ensure peace and prosperity.

We had the worst racial riots on 13 May 1969. And whatÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s May 13 to us? A useful bogey date for Umnoputras to constantly remind and threaten non-Malays with repeated blood bath. Remember May 13 (with keris waving) - Behave or else! What a contrast in mentality. How sad for Malaysia!</description>

		<description>Dr. Azly,

You should return to your homeland immediately.
You must speak up against all wrongdoings by this regime. 
Without experiencing fair competitions and without working toward globalization, Malays as a race might be doomed within next 50 years. 

You must educate the Malays to play a fairer game in order to survive. 

Yes, you are 1 in a million. You must run in next GE!</description>

		<description>Ponder this:- While 31st August can be marked as independence day for the non-malays, I fail to see how it can be celebrated as such by the malays who are still largely dependent on handouts, contracts, special seats for university, jobs, promotions, education, scholarships, etc. So the malays remain dependent. Its the others who can truly say they have independence.  From what we have seen, malays also do not have religious freedom.

With that sobering thought, lets really celebrate 31st August 2007, 50 years of TRUE INDEPENDENCE!</description>

		<description>If BN under UMNO leadership sticks to Rukunegara, there would not be a BN today with rampant corruption, abuse of power, gross excesses, high crime and etc..

How are the leaders going to be the future role models for a younger generation if they indulge themselves in the dark side of their personalities - bullying, threats, encourage divisions and inciting aggression and hatred!</description>

		<description>Is UMNO &quot;more Islamic&quot; than PAS? Why is it that whenever PAS mentioned Islam, there is always opposition from MCA and other component parties in the BN but when Abdullah announced Malaysia to be an Islamic state, everyone of the component parties just kept silent? Is there a division between UMNO Islam and PAS Islam? 

If at all Malaysia is an Islamic State, then PAS shouldn&#039;t be an opposition party at all as it embraces all the aspects of Islam and is rightfully part of the government. By isolating PAS as an opposition, BN, especially UMNO is slapping its own face. It is trying to tell the people of Malaysia it is &quot;more Islamic&quot; than PAS so as to make PAS an opposition against an Islamic government. 

Announcing Malaysia to be an Islamic State therefore holds no bearing in so far as Islamic identity is concerned, so why bother to make it public. This will only disgrace the PM, BN, the government and the nation as a whole.</description>

		<description>The trouble is our BN-led government views the term &#039;Malaysian Malaysia&#039; a dirty term, promulgated first by PAP and then DAP. Even Lim KY kena from Umnoputras when he mentioned &#039;Malaysian Malaysia&#039;.</description>
