Abdul Rahman upheld the independence social contract of a secular Malaysia with Islam as its official religion. On the occasion of his 80th birthday, Abdul Rahman stated in the The Star newspaper of 9 February 1983 that the “country has a multi-racial population with various beliefs. Malaysia must continue as a secular State with Islam as the official religion.” In the same issue of The Star, Abdul Rahman was supported by the third Malaysian Prime Minister, Hussein Onn, who stated that the “nation can still be functional as a secular state with Islam as the official religion.”

Do you know that at first the sultans no request any religions for state but later sultans requested the British that Islam as state religion?

Do you know that Malay privilege was given by the sultans?

Do you know that before independent all parties in alliance agreed to be review the Malay privilege from times to times by Cabinet and the Agong?

Do you know that the amendments to the Sedition Act that made illegal the questioning Article 153 – Malay Privilege passed in 1971 as law may mean even the Agong can not ask a review of it?

Where is the agreement and trust what agreed before the Independent review of Malay Privilege?

Later, even the Malay Rulers power in Constitution are nearly abolished?

Until now, not even one review of this Malay Privilege quota.

Can you ask me is that anyway I can trust them?

This is all black and white written records.

Not lip services.

If this country proper manage this country Malaysia is 2-4 times riches than singapore.

Do you know that?

I do not mean be a racist too, but your statement is double standard. How could you tell only CHINESE people can run the country effectively. What is the benchmark for to come out with such statement? For the past 51 years, Malaysia is well progressing, particularly under the adminstration of our Negarawan Ulung, Dr M. Malaysian should be greatful and gratitude that our country is rich and blessed by the all mighty.

Finally, let’s think about this rasionally. The reason BN lost many seats in last GE was not due to strong oppostions. It is due to BN members dislike the present PM and his associates. Things will change drastically after the new PM resumes duty and there after, BN will win back the states it lost in last GE.

I wish to tell the true that CHINESE people running the administration have proven record the countries will be very rich in finance and proper adminitration.

I can only see the Malay administration from UMNO is corrupted, and can even bestrayed their rulers by abolished their power in the constitution who have given Malay privilege, to get more power under their UMNO administration to be more corrupted.

How can you ask me to trust them? leh

Can you see the proven records?

No, I have not forgotten Ahmad Noor. In fact, he is one of the etcs. after V. David. Please read my comment once more. I wanted to mention a few more names but I just shorten my sentence with “etc.”

Ahmad Noor was a respected unionist and many of us are more familair with his achievements in union movements than he was with DAP’s struggles. DAP should have more Malay members like Ahmad Noor, Zaid Ibrahim, Faris Noor, etc. Better still, DAP should form DAP Clubs for DAP supporters who are working and living abroad.

Any comment on this proposal?

True Hero ? Mamakthir is regarded as the father of modern corruption, the sophistication of which far exceeds the crude corruption we normally see in tin-pot countries. Mamakthir brought financial corruption and moral corruption to new levels never before seen in a sovereign state. Yes, he led the way for similar atrocities in many other countries. For that, we shall not name any road after him.

As far as I know, DAP’s political straggles are always consistent. Leaders like Lim Kit Siang, Lim Guan Eng, Karpal Singh, Tang Seng Giaw, Teng Chang Khim, etc.

Have you forgotten Ahmad Noor or perhaps, he is not one of your great leaders? Pity him, after all, his contribution was not remembered and no one had ever suggested to name a road after him.Is this in line with Malaysian Malaysia concept?

We are talking about the believe in self-determination over state largesse in the end. It does not sell that well even in the most thriving democracies of the West. The US Republican party has been drumming that message since Reagan took office and look at the mess they created now! Tell them of the Swiss model and even rich malays have no idea what you are talking about let alone believe it.

Truth be told, negative campaigning is the only realistic choice for DAP to support Keadilan – scandals, dirt, not ideology and programs. But being able to sell dirt is still a highly skilled task because he the lowest form of animal learn how to cover his tracks better with time. That is the real challenge for DAP is to learn how to take dirt and make it smell all over…

Their dream/vision is equal rights, privileges and opportunities and there must not be discrimination on grounds of race and creed.

Then those civilized Malays can join in to fight this dream with you,
those fight this dream with you they can speak so loud with Independent Father Tunku Abdul Rahman. and the Malay Rulers so they may even can tell the UMNO supporter they are against the Independent Father Tunku Abdul Rahman and the Malay Rulers dreams/vision.

They can feel proudly to support the dreams of MALAYSIAN MALAYSIA.

The Malays need something to stand in order with you same side to achieve the MALAYSIAN MALAYSIA.

I’m a probably just a baby in comparison to all of you here thus I may not know much on how our country works, but I have questions I need to ask.

Was Malaysia always like this? Before Malaysia became “independent”, were Malaysians equally heartless, ignorant and out of control in trying to demand control?

I’m thankful that Irene Fernandez is finally free… but what did she do that was SO inhuman to punish her for 13 years? 13 years? When I grow up, will I be free to speak my mind or will I be jailed for 13 years too? If we as human beings can’t speak, why were we given voices?

I remember those TV/print ads that portray Malaysia as harmonious, living together happy with one another. And yet, our Muslim brothers and sister just may be banned from doing a simple exercise of yoga. Those who are banning it, have they even done the exercise? Why do they judge something they’ve never experience? Will they be banned from doing tai chi or taekwando too if there are buddhism elements in them?

What about our Chinese and Indian brothers and sisters who may never see the fair share of the stick? They work just as hard if not harder than the one who automatic get the privileges for being born. How can Malaysia boast harmony and fairness everyone knows who gets the bigger piece of the pie? Why am I punished for being born the wrong race?

What about our non-Muslim brothers and sister who are neither Malay, Chinese or Indian. They fall under the “others” category and are swept aside to a corner and forgotten. I once visited a Orang Asli kampung. While the rest of the major races fight over … something… the real bumi putera’s are at home, quiet, loss of hope. Loss of living.

Has Malaysians always been so greedy for power that they may not deserve?

I was born and raised in Malaysia. I was brought up in a family to be proud of my country… but how can I love a country that doesn’t love me back? How can I feel safe in a country where police/authority decide the games they want to play with you? And there is still such a thing as ISA…? What “peace” do they fight for?

Do they realize that a colored man is now president of the United States of America? Or do they think that this doesn’t apply to them? Isn’t the lesson here that we should be living as one? In unity? Or is this too idealistic? We preach for happiness, freedom and peace and yet we just can’t seem to practice this?
We are soon welcoming the year 2009. Do they realize that the whole world think of us as one big joke.
We are human beings. We are supposedly the smarter one in the food chain… supposedly.

It looks like all we do is complain but nothing is being done. And when we do fight, how is it that the bad side wins? Why are we no longer evolving, but deteriorating? Would it have been better to colonized by the British? Were we more civilized back then?

Would our Sri Tunku Abdul Rahman be proud of what we have become? Would our Tan Sri P. Ramlee be proud to see that our smiles and happy faces are just a facade?

How dare we let this happen? Why do we keep hurting each other? Are we really that cold-hearted?

Like I said, I am young and may not know much. You may mock me. I don’t think I care anymore. Nevertheless, my last question is the most important to me. Laugh all you want about the rest of my comment, but answer me this;

If I’m losing faith and hope, losing the war for my homeland, Negaraku… who can I go to now for help?

As far as I know, DAP’s political straggles are always consistent. Leaders like Lim Kit Siang, Lim Guan Eng, Karpal Singh, Tang Seng Giaw, Teng Chang Khim, etc.; and also ex-leaders such as P. Patto, V. David, etc. are true Malaysians with great patriotism. I treasure their leadership quality and linguistic skills. They are fearless, and have endured years of untold physical and mental hardship for the sake and welfare of their fellow Malaysians as rightly praised by Eddy. I salute them, too!

My whole family of 10 adults (all non-DAP members) have voted for DAP since the days we were registered as voters. We will continue to vote for DAP or the Pakatan Rakyat candidates in all future general election. Hidup DAP!
