I will move a motion under Standing Order 43 to challenge and review the ruling of Deputy Speaker Datuk Ronald Kiandee condoning the gross breach of parliamentary privilege by former Minister and Barisan Nasional MP for Rompin Datuk Jamaluddin Jarjis in trying to sabotage my speech during the 2009 Budget debate on the Ministry of Unity, Culture, Arts and Heritage on Monday in misleading the House by falsely claiming that I had said “the Malays treated the Chinese like slaves” when referring to “ketuanan Melayu”.
Jamaluddin was being most mischievous, irresponsible and racist when he deliberately repeated at least ten times in various variation of the false accusation that I had said the Malays regard the Chinese as slaves to try to paint me as racist and anti-Malay – when he was the one who was demonstrating his worst communal colours.
He even challenged me to apologise and withdraw the allegation when this is verified in a check with the Hansard the next day.
A check with the Hansard has proven that Jamaluddin was telling a big lie, which he compounded by repeating it ten times in the House on Monday, and it is now clearly confirmed that I had never said that the Malays treated the Chinese as slaves.
This is a gross breach of parliamentary privilege, compounded by his deliberate repetition of the lie ten times, hoping to turn a lie into a truth by sheer repetition!
If a Pakatan Rakyat MP had done to a Barisan Nasional Minister what Jamaluddin did to me in Parliament on Monday, the Pakatan Rakyat MP would have been stopped within seconds and suspended from the House, let alone being allowed to repeat the lie ten times, or referred to the Committee of Privileges for more serious disciplinary action to be meted out to him.
Why should there be one rule for Pakatan Rakyat MPs and another rule for Barisan Nasional MPs in the Malaysian Parliament?
I call on all right-thinking and justice-loving MPs, regardless of party whether from Pakatan Rakyat or Barisan Nasional, to take a common stand to censure Jamaluddin for his gross breach of parliamentary privilege in Parliament on Monday.
It is most pertinent that when I repeatedly asked in the House on Monday whether UMNO MPs would support the concept of “ketuanan rakyat Malaysia”, there was total silence and strenuous evasion with Jamaluddin trying to distract the issue by lying that I had accused the Malays of treating the Chinese as slaves in “ketuanan Melayu” concept.
In actual fact, it is the Umno leaders and Umno-putras who have enslaved all Malaysians – ordinary Malays, Chinese, Indians, Kadazans and Ibans – by trotting out the “ketuanan Melayu” concept, which has nothing to do with the position of Malay Rulers and is not to be found in the Merdeka Constitution.
Last year, the government spent RM100 million to celebrate 50th Merdeka anniversary of the nation. Why are the UMNO and Barisan Nasional leaders not prepared to come forward to state clearly and unequivocally that they are in full support of “ketuanan rakyat Malaysia”?
In refusing to fully endorse the concept of “ketuanan rakyat Malaysian”, aren’t the Barisan Nasional government abandoning the Bangsa Malaysia concept of Vision 2020?
It is sad that Umno leaders are not prepared to endorse the concept of “ketuanan rakyat Malaysia” -, which show that they are not yet prepared to become fully Malaysian leaders. They should give serious thought to the very eloquent and heart-wrenching speech by the DAP MP for Batu Gajah, Fong Po Kuan, in the debate on Monday who asked on behalf of all Malaysians why they are not regarded as full Malaysians when their sole loyalty is to this country and no other!

Dear All,
We have listened, read and even experienced the outright refusal of UMNO leaders to change and treat all Malaysians equally. Despite the many calls, with the latest being the “308″ election results, resulting the loss of five state governments to Pakatan Rakyat, UMNO has moved further away from the concept of Bangsa Malaysia. An outright abandonment, if you may like it, but the fact remains is that UMNO will continue to fight for Ketuanan Melayu as this is only the appealing platform that will attract urban and rural Malays. The game plan has been there for as long as one could remember, particularly after 1969 when they saw the uprising of Chinese boldly supporting the opposition as well as extreme factional divide inside UMNO then. The old record is being played all over, over and over again when UMNO is mired down with internal bickering or power tussle. UMNO will use the racial issues and stoke sentiments in order to purge dissidents and consolidate power. It has never change and never will unless if we experience an exchange of federal government from UMNO to Keadilan or PAS. The Peninsular component parties in BN like MCA, MIC, PPP and the rest were seen as just members making up the numbers as well as too weak to even consolidate its respective influence on communities that they are representing for. UMNO moved aggressively to Sabah in 1990 and adopted a vigorous programme of legalizing illegal immigrants from Phillipines and Indonesia in order to push PBS out, of which they received enormous support from the Kadazandusun community. Immigrants can do and alter political outcomes in their host states and this trend and observation had been proven a million times true in Sabah.
The Kadazandusun is now making up only 20% of Sabah total population, down 12% from 32% in 1960 while Indonesians are about 22%, up a hefty 17% from a mere 5% recorded in 1960. Sabah’s population growth is growing extremely healthy but with immigrants from Indonesia. It will come a day where there will be more Indonesians than they are Malays. For all you know, UMNO is now struggling with this issue which they created themselves.
An old Malay adage, “senjata makan Tuan” is best described the situation.

After more than 40 years involved in Malaysian Politic, DAP’s approach and style had never changed. For many years, this is their most favourite subject to be debated over in the parliament. Didn’t they realize that they gain nothing out of this? On the other hand, they are very sensitive and annoyed when other people touch on their community’s interests.
We cannot deny the fact that it is a duty of Malays and Non-Malays to protect their interests and rights. There’s nothing wrong with that. However, things will get immoral if one side start questioning about rights/privileges enjoyed by another side. For the past 51 years, Malaysian in general knows how to respect and try their level best not to hurt each other’s feelings. So far, this approach works successfully and why must we ruin this?
This is my sincere thoughts if we wish to live harmoniously in this country.

Jamaluddin is the typical racialist….that get elected by fooling his own race.
This type of UMNO racialists…is the reasons why the poorest of the poor muslims….keep suffering and said…..”It’s God’s will”…which infact..it is the irresponsible lazy attitudes and mentalities of UMNO MPs with big mouth…no shame at all…to continue race and religion politics.

“Ketuanan Melayu”. Not even “Ketuanan Bumiputra” to include other natives.
Malays alone form about half the population so is the intention to lord over the other half?
So long as some are more equal than others and such inequalities remain indefinitely, then I fear this “Ketuanan” thing isn’t going to be over any time soon.

As usual…Ms. Fong was gunned down for no reasons by those shameless UMNO racialists…..that needs a young Malaysian…to teach them..how to unite as Malaysians.
Feeling no shame…lost of words to properly respond to Ms. Fong..it needs the Mr.Speaker to lend support to UMNO..by telling her …not to use the word “UMNO”…..when it is UMNO that governs the country.
Such is the cunning political low class art…UMNO guys are good at….making the speaker loose concentrations and to confuse her.

-Quoted by Cintanegara.
——————————————————–
Please differentiate the “Protect their interest and right” term against the” implementation of a “Rotten NEP which only benefit the cronies”
Nobody will question about rights enjoy by all races but you really need to question the implementation of rotten NEP whereby the system will erode our economy due to “subsidies” and produce “rubbish graduate and business man’ that cannot complete equally with others.
Well, Cinta, Time will eventually prove you wrong and your future children will suffer if this policy keeps for another 10 years which emphasize on “Subsidies”.
Nothing in this world is free and the payback period will eventually take place after you had received all the “subsidies’.
Sometime, I really pity those good Malay like Zaid, Wan Aziza being label as a “NEP Product”.
Why good Malay in Malaysia cannot be proud of what they have achieved and always label them as “NEP” Product? Are they really bad to the extent that unable to survive without NEP?

“We cannot deny the fact that it is a duty of Malays and Non-Malays to protect their interests and rights.”
Yes we can. Are you schizophrenic? Who is the “we” you refer to? You occasionally use a very pompous tone in your comments which detracts from any intrinsic merit your comments may have.
What I deny with every gramme of my being is that any human has a duty to protect the interests and rights of any arbitrary grouping of fellows. Once you allot interests and rights to groups, there are no interests and rights for all. Either interests and rights are common to all, or they are just word-play for ‘favours’ and ‘abuses’.
Malaysia needs to find another classification for its people. Maybe ‘race’ had some currency when a country is cut off from the outside world for hundreds of generations, but once migration starts, race has no meaning at all. I am interested in the often mentioned option – in this blog too – to ‘become a Malay’ – I have always been interested in the possibility of changing my race. Hitherto, I have always worried that it would involve some dreadful surgical procedure involving my bone marrow and testicles. If changing one’s race is a less painful experience in Malaysia, might I enquire as to how much it would cost to be an Indian? I’ve always wanted to be an Indian.

This ketuanan malay rhetorical nonsense has been stepped up by umno to gain malay votes in the up-coming Kuala Trengganu by-election.

It would be wrong if we say that Malays treat Chinese like slaves. Only UMNO talks about Ketuanan Melayu. No other Malays that I know of, and I have quite a few Malay friends, ever say that they are more superior.
But what is Ketuanan Melayu when there is no hamba? Or a leader without a follower? Ketuanan Melayu itself is a racist concept, so how can one who talks about Ketuanan Melayu accuses other people as racists when their own pants are full of stinking shit?

Of course he lied, Orwellian as it comes. Its hard enough to keep a cause going base on the truth, but one based on a lie, just takes more lies to keep it going.
The non-bumiputras of this country IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INEQUALITIES OF THE RACES and it is simply unjust to seek redress from them. Ketuanan Melayu seek redress from the innocent, this simply is a logic that is inescapble.
The whole reason why the lie that it does not unjustly seek redress from the wrong people has gone on for so long because of the high growth experience for more than 2 decades. With slower growth, the lie cannot be continued because the injustice become quite apparent. This is what UMNO don’t get – they have lived with a lie for so long, they don’t know it anymore and hence the lies keep getting easier and easier and they keep doing it more and more. But the truth is inescapble whether they understand it or not.

///During a debate on the state 2009 Budget, which was tabled more than a week ago, Ayub Jamil (BN-Rengit) led the call to quash any racial provocation by political leaders who tend to confuse the people with a malicious interpretation of the ketuanan Melayu concept.
He said Malay supremacy was not a “slave and master” relationship.
Instead, Ayub said it was a concept that was long held in the highest regard by people in the country, which was the authority of the Malay Rulers.///– Straits times http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/Wednesday/Frontpage/2418364/Article/index_html
If the concept of Ketuanan Melayu is as stated to be the authority of Malay rulers, then the term “ketuanan Melayu” should not be used without a reference being made to the rulers. Since the authority of Malay Rulers is accepted by Malaysians without dispute, a statement claiming a need to uphold ‘ketuanan Melayu’ would cast aspersion to imply that the authority of the Rulers somehow needed to be supported so that it could be upheld. That in turn gives the impression that the authority of the Malay Rulers is being questioned or is being challenged. When a political party claims that it works to uphold the authority of the Rulers, that political party is claiming credit for the continued existence of the Rules’ authority. It creates the doubt that without the political party, that authority might be in danger.
Ketuanan Melayu means different things to different people even among UMNO politicians. That would also subject to different interpretation when the politicians intended it for different purposes. For those who are vying for party positions in March 2009 the concept KM would be something the politicians would defend with their blood and life; it would certainly be illogical to believe that they stand for party election so that they could sing praises to the authority of the Rulers. While claiming to support KM, one wannabe UMNO Youth Chief was willing to risk sedition charge by claiming that only the Malay medium of instruction would remain in primary schools when Chinese and Tamil which are the media of instruction now will find no primary school for teaching. Yet that UMNO Youth Chief hopeful claimed that he did not mean to do away with the Chinese and Tamil language as media of instruction. He meant only that he would make those schools teach in Malay. He is giving the impression that he was more reasonable than his father who wanted non-Malays to denounce their race. One wonders what has the race the people choose to remain, or the language the school uses has to do with the authority of the Rulers.

Will umno now encourage Ong Tee Keat to sack Chua SL from the MCA?
Police are now entering the fray in the public debate over Ketuanan Melayu when they questioned MCA deputy president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek over his remarks on the issue.
The former Health Minister had his statement recorded at the Sunway police this morning.
He was interviewed by police for “41 minutes and 22 seconds”, a surprisingly jovial Dr Chua told reporters this afternoon.
“They quizzed me on my specific reference to Ketuanan Melayu and why I used it and whether it was used to incite hate and tension between races,” he said at a press conference in the MCA headquarters.
On Nov 27, Dr Chua had spoken on the terminology Ketuanan Melayu used as the basis of power-sharing in Barisan Nasional (BN) at the Kancil Awards for the advertising industry.
He was, however, accused of questioning the sovereignty of Malay rulers, Malay rights and Bahasa Malaysia as the national language.
On Monday, the Young Malay Graduates Movement (GGMM), a Malay rights group, demanded Dr Chua pay RM2 million in compensation for allegedly questioning the special position of the Malays.

The connotation `ketuanan Melayu’ does not seem right to me. UMNO should not be harping on such matters as constitutionally the position of Malays, other Bumiputeras and non-Bumiputeras have already been clearly defined in the constitution and none of these can be changed unless the Malays themselves want it to be changed due to the country’s population demographics. So why waste time on such trivial concepts?
Equally, DAP should focus on more important matters and not fall into such useless confrontations. The Sultan of Selangor was right when he said recently that politicians from both sides of the political divide are bickering on trivial matters when in fact they should be looking at more important things for the betterment of the rakyat and country!

CSL’s questioning and perhaps even arrest may be all prearranged just to show that even beggar and servant parties dare question their master.
But privately, it may be still the cosy master and servant relationship. DON’T TRUST THEM!
Once they have your votes, you’ll be the slave. Of the UMNO/BN government!

Nowadays, History that is being taught in schools is only confined to Malaysia.

He was claiming something his ears didn’t hear.. Maybe he was just cooking up YB LIM’s speech in his head and came to the conclusion that YB Lim was implicating the Malays were enslaving the chinese, but his brains malfunction and actually believed that was what YB LIM literally uttered. I wonder how he can listen to the voice of the people.

You guys still don’t get it .I have mentioned several time in this blog that the police has no teeth at all when comes to facing UMNOputras and warlords.Our mata mata is similar to a vampire who has no fanks /teeth facing his/her master.But when facing and dealing with others liken DAP,PKR,PAS,now even MCA or YOU and I,these guys will show their deadly teeth.They will suck your blood until you submit to them or you drop dead. So all you guys out there.be careful what you say and where you go.I just don’t want you guys to get hurt,ok.

It is so sickening, this “ketuanan” issue.
First of all, there is no such thing as “ketuanan” in the Federal Constitution. So, “ketuanan” cannot be defended at all in a court of law, if anyone wishes to take the matter to court.
Second, “ketuanan” is a creation of someone mischievous and cunning enough to know that the issue would certainly arouse and appeal to the malay emotion and psyche.
Thirdly, “ketuanan” should not be equalled to basic and fundamental citizen’s rights and liberties, which ALL Malaysians are endowed with and are inalienable. Any time, inalienable rights are primary and must supersede “ketuanan”, which is secondary and should be viewed with suspicion and needs to be qualified.
Fourthly, the “ketuanan” issue had been blown out of proportion by parties out to create tension and restlessness among Malaysians. It is a racial approach which should not be condoned by anyone who is right thinking and law abiding. “Ketuanan” had been abused to the extreme by people out to posture and position themselves as if they are “superior” to anyone who does not belong to their group ( whose status is not even confirmed or ascertained factually and defined unequivocally. Can anyone provide a definition of who a “Malay” is in the Malaysian context? So many people of so many different and diverse backgrounds claim to be a “Malay”, that no one knows for sure who a “Malay” is in Malaysia.) Or it had been manipulated by those same people to further their personal agendas and ulterior motives to perpetuate the “special” position, which allow them access to whatever benefits and privileges.
Last, but not least, the ordinary Malays are surely NOT benefiting from such “ketuanan” posturing and positioning which are being manipulated and benefited only a certain segment of the malay populace who are gaining the lion’s share of whatever there is to be harvested. Ordinary malays are left out of the equation of “ketuanan melayu”.
A clear and unequivocal position and explanation must be provided by the government so that ordinary rakyat are not confused and disturbed by the never-ending, unhealthy and unnecessary polemics.

Look at how racist the things are going recently. If other races claim that everyone has equal right in Malaysia, for UMNO it means we are challenging the ultimate Malay’s right = we are threatening the stability of the country. If the UMNO/Malays say anything rude to other races, oh it IS ok and NOT racist at all! Not trying to be racist here, just merely voice out how unfair the current legislation/law/system whatever it is.
