Hai, i'm a malay, muslim, PR supporter, but not DAP. I'm anti BN, but not only UMNO which is MALAY party, but also MCA (chinese party), GERAKAN & SAPP (also chinese lead), MIC & PPP (indian party). wow...how many non-malay party in malaysia. I'm also anti HINDRAF, an organization which fight for indian with no concrete motive, which claim's malay and muslim is cruel and doing ethnic cleansing. Just to remind you, do you ever know the following people? Datuk Maharaja Lela and Datuk Sagor in Perak, Datuk Bahaman, Datuk Gajah, Mat Kilau and Mat Seman (Mat Kelantan) in Pahang. Datuk Dol Said in Naning, Negeri Sembilan, and Haji Abdul Rahman Limbong in Terengganu. Mat Saleh and Antanum in Sabah, and Sharif Masahor, Rentap, Banting, Asun and Rosli Dobi in Sarawak. Who are they? Are they chinese or indian. Tell me where are they came from?. Why are they forgotten? Are they also migrant like most of you all claims. Then who is malay? who is bumiputra? who is iban? who is kadazan?. Don't you read history? Malacca empire also including part of indonesia? Aceh also once under malacca How dare you claim that malay is migrant?. You don't understand who is malay? jawa, minang, bugis, people from indonesia, south thailand, kemboja, philipine, sulu and others are all malay. Don't you know, most malay vote PR because of they see injustice including injustice on chinese and indian and also because the spirit PAS shown?. It is not because lim guan eng, or lim kit siang, or DAP (which fight for chinese only, the rest is political motivated to gain malay support). Don't think you win because we like you, it is because you in PR, and PR is alternate party other than BN. like Republican vs Domocrat. As long as you fight more on your race. We will never support you. PRU 12 is just a rise of malay thought. Don't expect we will vote you in the next election, as we can also think and judge. Sometime you forgot what is your objective, as you see this year is a great opportunity for you to get more power. But don't forget, without malay, you are nothing. So watch your mouth and action, mr lim kit siang and son lim guan eng(i see you try to get malay & muslim supporter by using Umar Al-Kattab character, and some word of islamic. stop that mr. it does not work, as we know it is just a gimic to gain our support). mr karpal, i know you are malaysian, but don't always insult muslim&malay la, over my dead body if u are in PR cabinet. now we all know, you read only chinese paper.

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 28 — Former Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim won a crucial by-election for the parliamentary seat of Pemantang Pauh on Tuesday.

That Anwar was going to win was never in doubt. He was first elected to the seat in the early 1980s and his wife became MP when he was jailed in 1998.

Last month, she resigned from the seat so Anwar could get back into Parliament. What was unexpected was the huge margin of victory. Anwar’s wife won the seat in the March general election with slightly more than a 13,000-vote majority.

Many had expected Anwar to win by about 10,000 votes rather than the nearly 16,000 votes he took on Tuesday. The ruling Barisan Nasional coalition poured everything it had into the campaign.

Note that AAB did not take the same stand. He tried to brush the matter off. And the common factor between the both of them is: neither took any action on their man. When you have the Number 1 and Number 2 men sending different signals out, one cannot expect the rest of the party members to understand that the act was indeed wrong. In as far as "police investigations" are concerned, it remains to be seen whether their subsequent findings and end result would be impartial, and also whether there will ever be any findings at all once this issue has died down. It is perfectly alright to demand an apology, but with the understanding that not all of our malay friends are like Ahmad Ismail. In fact, any right-thinking Malaysian, regardless of race, should unite in demanding the apology from him. “Such an apology from UMNO is unprecedented. It publicly benchmarks that such remarks are no more considered right in UMNO.

And the common factor between the both of them is: neither took any action on their man. When you have the Number 1 and Number 2 men sending different signals out, one cannot expect the rest of the party members to understand that the act was indeed wrong.

In as far as “police investigations” are concerned, it remains to be seen whether their subsequent findings and end result would be impartial, and also whether there will ever be any findings at all once this issue has died down.

It is perfectly alright to demand an apology, but with the understanding that not all of our malay friends are like Ahmad Ismail. In fact, any right-thinking Malaysian, regardless of race, should unite in demanding the apology from him.

Jeffrey. How very true this is and is best exemplified by Ling Liong Sik's overboard shameless show of bodekking Mamak during the opening of UTAR by making the singing "We love Mahathir" as a major part of the programme.And look at Samy now who would ever think that he is capable of criticising the mamak today? Your mention of more than 40 BN MPs crossing over has also appeared in the Singapore Straits Times just before the PP by election,stating that if Anwar were to make it to Parliment as the Leader Of Opposition more than 40 BN MPs would cross over. This surely would be fantastic for the country for the sooner PK takes over the better it is for the country.We just can't afford to be hit by a double whammy, recession plus political turmoil. “When you deal with BN’s politicians,many are opportunists and lallang they have no permanent allegiance to principles other than where the prevailing wind blows and where they could have positions,development funds to indulge in cronyism and money making justified by local parochial sentiments supporting their move.”.

Najib's apology should be front page on most MSM like TheStar and NST except Berita Harian and Utusan Malaysia. Correct? i don’t buy newspaper but let me guess.

This is exactly what I want to say too! Ong Ka Ting still has an illusion that MCA represents ALL chinese in Malaysia?!! He said 'We HOPE this would also be a lesson to others. My HOPE is that Ahmad realises his mistake and never repeats it.' It's time MCA learned to stand on his own two feet. I HOPE!!! Yes! This is exactly what I want to say too!

But they are behaving otherwise and cannot accept the fact that Malaysia existed with the common effort of all races within this nation. If they continue to harp on racial issues, I am sure they are heading towards extinction. Umno is half a century old party and I would expect at least the leaders are a cultured and matured lot.

For too long the non malays are being demonised by Umno and what about BTN's insidious role in promoting racism as pointed out by ghinna_lim and others. If not for the outcry you think a delayed apology is forthcoming. What is so galling is that those racist remarks were uttered in front of Najib and in an Umno election campaign and AAB defended Ahmad Ismail by saying that it was his personal opinion and not that of Umno. So keris waving episodes of Hishammuddin and Najib are personal opinions? This kind of repeated excuse offered by PM just sound hollow to the non malays. Now we have Ahmad Ismail gone MIA. What kind of a man is he? Unlike LKS he made a mistake he apologised like a man and that is decency. We should be magnanimous to Ahmad Ismail if he personally apologise for his racist remark but we must not let our guard down in our fight against racism wherever they come from in order to build Bangsa Malaysia and a Malaysian Malaysia Fighting official sanctioned racism is also part of the larger agenda of PR.

And for bodies that thrive on popular support, apologising for mistakes made is basic damage mitigation measure. 51 years and they still could not get this basic point? Hopeless indeed they must really be. Well not for long I suppose. You had better enjoy your days being hopeless, umno. Do it while you still can.
