Perhaps he thought that being the PM means he has absolute power to suppress the thoughts of everyone in Malaysia into thinking that he is CLEAN! Najis is erecting a building from the rooftop downwards, intending to put in the FOUNDATION last!

Jaswant :You’d do well not to translate Malay directly into English word for word because then you’d be making this kind of mistakes. You must learn to think and write in English and not think in Malay and write in English.

My ass undergrad2, you wrote this before and you are writing this again. I wonder what dignity and honesty have you got to come here to talk about truth. You have none, so just shut your ass mouth. I wouldn’t be gentle with you anymore.

What are you talking about? What i said (in the past) is (the meaning is this) … so why not? You are just trying to find fault for reasons you know best. In any case, the realithy is i have a blog and my writings were publised in newspapers and magazine. Do you have any?

I have an aunt whose ancestors were far more recently from Africa then ours were. Her sisters call her ‘nigger’ when they’re joking around, but her husband (my father’s brother) doesn’t get to call her that.

In crazy moments, I too have considered opening a restaurant in Malaysia called ‘White Food’ or ‘The Slightly Longer Sausage’. I can’t help thinking, however, that there has to be a better way of making a living than as a freak show.

While I was lecturing in the UK, one of my studentswas a bright young woman from Shanghai. She was very chatty, and asked me about my first trip to Malaysia, so I told her all the new words I’d learned like “Mat Salleh”, “Orang Puteh”, “Ang Mo”, “Bai Zhong Ren”. She laughed at Bai Zhong Ren and said it was funny. I laughed too and asked her if I could call her “Huang Zhong Ren”. She suddenly looked angry and said “You must never say that. It is very rude.”

Perhaps racial epithets can sometimes be used between people who share the referred-to characteristics as a way of bringing them closer together? I’m not so sure. I am convinced that casually highlighting those characteristics which are not shared will only push people apart. I don’t think that’s a good thing.

I’m not personally offended, if it helps – skin thickens with age. Perhaps ‘frustrated’ is closer to what I feel, when I read things like that on the blog of a man who is close to being the most credible proponent of unity and equality in Malaysia. I asked about ‘motivation’ because it didn’t seem like you posted the link to Kessler’s interview with the intention of objecting to him personally – and that’s the impression I got from the racial epithet.

I don’t want to make a big deal out of a (comparatively) small matter. I am in no doubt as to how effective I could be as a one-man ‘Race Relations Act’!

In speech, “what I said was” is usually correct, because the words are lost. In writing, we could also say “what I said [wrote] is” because it continues to be the same – verifiably so.

I’m not an expert on English, but in the context, “was” or “is” seems reasonable to me.

Who said Malays hate non-Malays? And who says non Malays have been marginalised? Look at the likes of Vincent Tan and Eric Chia or even Tiong King Sing. Boy oh boy, these people were practically living in paradise here in Malaysia.

Non Malays contribute almost 90% of taxes because the Malays are so poor they can’t pay taxes. How has the non Malays been marginalized?

Wake up friend! The people who have been marginalized are the common Malaysian people, Malay and non-Malays alike. The people who have gotten everything are the UMNOputra cronies including the likes of VT and EC.

Aiyah, OrangRojak, Y so sensitive one
No motivation lah
Ang moh is used widely here and now with no malice
Unlike previous generations terms such as Ang mo kow and Ang mo kui were used
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ang_Mo
You unique mah
In the little red dot, there is “Crazy Ang Moh”, the food stall named by the Caucasian owners
Also, Ang Mo Kio
If you really offended by the term, my sincere apologies
Peace be with you! V!

I’m not here to teach anyone English but this is one invitation I cannot miss. A call to public service, let’s just say.

Then you should have written “What I am saying is …” “What I said is ..” is ungrammatical English. It should be ‘What I said was ..”

The alternative and correct way of writing it would be ” … flags are a symbol” and not “flags are symbol” which is again written in ungrammatical English.

This demonstrates how a flawed policy such as the NEP benefits the mediocre.

When the PM said that groups were exploiting the fine lines that existed in a multi-ethnic society, be it political, religious or social, to serve their own warped agenda, does he seriously exclude his own party or parties within BN coalition as part of these groups?

It would serve well for those who exhort others to build bridge and tear wall to look (honestly) at the mirror and examine themselves and ilk whether or not they are the ones who are the first to tear bridges down and build walls when it suits their political expedience.

Then we have a supposedly elderstatesperson, Tun Dr Mahathir, sharing his wisdom in his blog CheDet to apologise that politicians should not alone be blamed for these “walls” – and I quote “It is no good blaming the politicians for perpetuating racial schism. Some of them who tried to ignore racial loyalties simply failed politically… For various reasons the races preferred to stay separated…. Those who reject racialism simply lost popular support. But those who embrace racialism won”. What is there to say some more??

So ultimately are the majority of people/voters primarily responsible for erecting the walls and thereby influencing the politicians, in interest of getting their votes, to pander to these tendencies or its the other way around that it is the politicians that are ratcheting up racial and religious issues influencing their constituencies to think and behave along these lines to facilitate vote getting or is it a dynamic process for which both people by majority and the politicians (equally by majority) are equally culpable of erecting and maintaining these “walls”??

Why they hate non-Malay citizens so much? Why they think that Chinese and Indians are their enemies? The non-Malays are not considered citizens by them? A lot of discriminations have been institutionalised. I come to know lately that Petronas is discrinateting the non-Malay companies like Maybank earlier.

What have the minotiry non-Malays done to deserve this treatments?

No doubt that Lee Kwan Yew’s observation is on the spot. The non-Malays have been intentionally marginalised in all aspects.

This is a problem that will be with us as long as UMNO is practising divide-and-rule policies and as long as they are in power.

The only way to change Malaysia for better is to vote them out during 13th GE.

Otherwise we will surely join Zimbabwe and other failed states soon once our natural resources run out. Malaysia has enjoyed (mainly by UMNO and its cronies) 52 years of its natural resources. There won’t be much left of the natural resources now.

What Malaysia should do now is to develop human resources to meet future challenges. If the culture of bias, prejudice, discrimination, segregation, jealousy are the eductional theme for te Malays, then Malaysia has no hope. This is unwise as a nation.

Malaysian of all races need jobs and economic security. The only way to guaranty this is to develop our economies. So blocking the enterpreneurship of its citizen will stagnate the economies. New jobs will not be created to cater for ever increasing population.

How much jobs can Malaysia create in the Government ministries? Two million the most. What about the other Malaysians who need jobs?

The hope is in the private sectors NOT with the government.

If the present government can’t see this, then they are not qualified to run the country.

Please wake up my fellow Malaysians.

What happen to that mood we used to have back then..it all died off..

Now I use this day as an excuse to get out of the house to party all night long. Why should I be excited anymore? Is there a reason? Maybe there is for you..but to be honest there is no reason for me to be excited and its a shame.

Its even hard to see flags around this time..
Theres no spirit.. Its all dying
Whats happening to our lovely country..
Its like no one has the semangat to celebrate anymore.. and I’m not even gonna elaborate more on why we don’t feel like how we used to..

cause we’re all scared to voice out..this is wht Malaysia has become..

I miss Malaysia when I felt secured then and I don’t like it now..

Give us back our spirits and hope to be one nation

Happy Merdeka to those of you who hopes for a change…!

I believe Malaysia can do it

God bless

- From a 19 year old college kid-

Very funny. The PM with the army, police, judiciary, macc, mat rempits and the whole cabinet behind him to tear down the walls above, yet he is unwilling to do so. Yet he is calling on the ordinary people who do not have the army, police, judiciary, macc, mat rempits and the whole cabinet behind them to do the job. What a joker….

You will never, ever be united while you continue to subscribe to the discriminatory policies and practices of the last few decades. DAP should accept that they are also not blame-free in this respect, as even their party symbol reinforces the distinction and separation of Malaysians by race:

http://dapmalaysia.org/newenglish/au_sr.htm

How are DAP to explain to the peoples of East Malaysia – the people who prevented PR from winning the last election (PR won on votes in Peninsular Malaysia right? BN is the minority govt on the Peninsula isn’t it?) – that they are ‘Others’ in their own land?

I don’t respect this call from LKS to save Najib’s 1Malaysia. I want to see Absolutely Anybody Else’s 1Malaysia being supported – one that isn’t based on dividing the people of Malaysia up into 3 arbitrary in-breeding groups and 1 set of rejects. It’s time to face up to the fact that if you really want a Bangsa Malaysia, you have to stop deliberately dividing the people.

Look at the cow-head issue and the content of this blog. That’s a problem of outrageously inconsistent policing and unpunished public threats of violence. Someone said “it’s an MIC issue stay out” and several others said “non-Muslims need not worry”. Are we to believe inconsistent policing and idiots threatening violence in public are things a non-Indian, non-Muslim person could comfortably ignore?

If you want to be part of the solution, you have to stop being part of the problem. If the solution is 1 Malaysia, you have to get rid of that ’4Malaysias’ in your party symbolism. and attitudes. 4Malaysias is precisely the problem.
