if non-malays were to utter ‘racist’ word, straight away kena ISA.
I’m not angry what Ahmad Said said that chinese are immigrants, but I AM ANGRY that he only pointed at CHINESE. HIS statement is indeed very racist. what about other races? I must admit chinese are immigrants very long time ago. Now let me ask them…. Are Malays the originated from this country? i dun think so. Malaya actually resides by orang asli long long time ago.

If we don’t know how to respect others, we should not be writing anything, really. Thought we are championing equal rights and freedom? But they have to come with a price…which is respect, accountability, honour, responsibility, and integrity.

Back biting and badmouthing are not acceptable at all.

Debate, argue and criticise all you want, but with decorum please.

Perhaps the administrator should look at all these more seriously and ensure contributors toe the line?

Good luck!

Police will take him for questioning….ONLY!!!! But Raja Petra? and many people detained under ISA? where is the equality?

Many and more UMNO members insulting and creating the non harmonious feels to society for Malaysian, look at our left and right, all races are happy living together, but just those Politician with brainless and self interest to spoilt the harmony society, Perpaduan Teras Kejayaan, what its mean to those extremist? Remember, Rakyat Bersatu, Negara Maju, and our competitors are those stronger countries in the rest the world, not the races in the country! think wider and grow! if those extremist do not undestand, check out the OLYMPIC medal ranking, so many countries are ahead of us in sports

No one of us (malays chinese indians and other races) is immigrant here.
We malaysians need each another!!

Can the people of Malaysia united, if not for prosperity then for peace.

“Gerakan harus bertanggungjawab menjaga ahli-ahlinya supaya tidak bertindak sehingga sampai ke tahap mengganggu”

when we ask for our right kita mangganggu umno.

i don’t think he now what he said.

Mengulas lanjut mengenainya, Zainol berkata, Ahmad ketika itu berucap di hadapan majoriti orang Melayu untuk menaikkan semangat mereka sewaktu pilihanraya.

“Bila bercakap banyak, kadang-kadang kita terlupa… jadi jangan bersentimen. Oleh itu, Gerakan harus faham tentang perkongsian kuasa.

“(Oleh itu) Gerakan harus bertanggungjawab menjaga ahli-ahlinya supaya tidak bertindak sehingga sampai ke tahap mengganggu (parti-parti komponen BN yang lain),” katanya.

how to minta maaf?

That is what leadership is all about: accountability. mah..

So it would be best and wise to take a leaf from such a case and refrain from uttering it, let alone harbouring thoughts about it.

Let’s learn to be open minded.
Let’s accept everyone else as saudara.
Let’s see to it that the world is also everyone else’s universe.

Let’s live with one another and do away with imaginary borders which separate us. There are just too many artificial boundaries which are made to secure our own narrow interest. Why can’t we share and do things together? Why can’t we move forward in life together even if we have different views and opinions? Why can’t we expand our horizon of experience and learning, which are precisely the prerequisites for advancement?

Why do we fear and abhor other’s ideology? Why must we confine ourselves to just our very own thinking? Why can’t we learn from others which would in turn encourage them to learn from us?

We know the world is moving towards being borderless due to the explosion of knowledge, the construction and development of information highways, and the advancement of science & technology. We have to jump into the bandwagon of progress and learning, lest we be left behind.

There is so much to grapple with that we have to chart our path carefully and meticulously. Let’s busy ourselves with life’s chores and reject unproductive and wasteful bickering and silly arguments.

The DPM’s apology for the silly statement made by the Bkt Bendera UMNO division chief should be taken in good faith and accepted with an open heart. That is what leadership is all about: accountability. It is now the very person who made the remarks who should do the same to show his sincerity.

In return we ourselves should refrain from uttering and writing negatively about others. We must reciprocate goodwill with goodwill, good faith with good faith, magnanimity with magnanimity.
And it should all be done with utmost sincerity.
