///The Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has directed independent news portal Malaysiakini to remove the video footages of Hishammuddin’s media conference defending and justifying the cow-head sacrilege for being “provocative” which contain “offensive contents with the intent to annoy any person especially Indians” and liable to offences under Section 211/233 of the Communication and Multimedia Act 1998 with a penalty on conviction to a fine up to RM50,000 or a jail sentence.///—Kit

The video footages of Hishammuddin’s media conference defending and justifying the cow-head sacrilege for being “provocative” serves only as an evidence of what had been said by Hishammuddin. If that footage contains “offensive contents with the intent to annoy any person especially Indians” and liable to offences under Section 211/233 of the Communication and Multimedia Act 1998 with a penalty on conviction to a fine up to RM50,000 or a jail sentence, then the persons whose actions were recorded should be charged accordingly. MCMC directive would be meaningful if Hishammuddin had already been charged for the offence, and that it disallow a repetitive show of the offensive video footage. Since Hishammuddin had not been charged, then showing a non-offensive video footage cannot be offensive.

Now that MCMC had decided that Hishammuddin had committed the offence, the Police and the AG chamber would be committing malfeasance if they did not take action. It is bad enough if they pretended that Hishammuddin did not do anything wrong. It is worse when they were sure that Hishammuddin had committed an offence, and yet they choose to demonstrate that the practices double standards.

If IGP considers that Hishammuddin who recommend his extension cannot be prosecuted, then he is not fit to be IGP, since whoever committed an offence has to be answerable, and that includes the royalties on their personal capacity.

Najib is unlucky to have such a cousin who is waiting to take over. He should remove the keris-man sooner than he became a larger liability.

According to TDM millions of Malays have benefited from NEP, and NEP must had achieved its objective in the following two areas:

(1) to alleviate poverty irrespective of races

In Mahathir’s own words; Quote 5. Semasa DEB dilancar kemiskinan dalam Negara adalah lebih daripada 40 peratus. Hari ini kemiskinan telah turun pada lima peratus. Matlamat pertama jelas telah tercapai. Majority daripada yang miskin adalah Melayu dan Bumiputera lain. Unquote

So, the poverty rate in 1970 at 40% has come down to 5 %. The objective has been achieved.

(2) Menghapuskan identifikasi kaum dengan fungsi ekonomi (to remove linkage between race and economic functions.

According to TDM, item 2 has also been achieved, as explained by him in his own words:
Quote
6. Bagi matlamat kedua, kejayaan yang terbesar DEB ialah dalam bidang pelajaran. Ramai Bumiputera telah mendapat peluang dalam bidang-bidang profesional sehingga dalam bidang perubatan daripada hanya 8-10 peratus sahaja doktor perubatan yang terdiri daripada Melayu dan Bumiputera, sekarang bahagian mereka berjumlah 40 peratus. Ramai yang menjadi pakar.

7. Demikian juga dalam profesyen lain, pensyarah dan profesor dalam universiti.

8. Jumlah mereka beratus ribu. Apakah mereka yang mendapat pelajaran sehingga ke universiti semuanya daripada keluarga yang kaya yang ada hubungan dengan pemimpin Kerajaan? Apakah mereka mampu mendapat pelajaran ini tanpa DEB? Apakah bagi mereka ini DEB tidak berguna?

Unquote

Since both the objectives have already been achieved under NEP, and NEP was supposed to be for 20 years until 1990, why did TDM not end NEP then?

Malays themselves are calling for an end to NEP for good reasons such as NEP goes against the teaching of Islam which considers men are created equal, and discrimination is not allowed by the religion. That discrimination might be tolerated for a period of twenty years to achieve certain objectives, and the leaders then might have sought pardon from Allah for deviating from its teaching. Now that the objectives have been achieved, practices against the teaching of Islam should cease. The Malays considered that it does more harm to the community, for them to lead a sheltered life under NEP . They will have to be confined to the shores of Malaysia rather than to be prepared for real challenge anywhere in the world. The Malays also realise that the cronies of the powers-that-be were milking the lion shares of the national resources through NEP, and the ill effects of NEP resulting in en mass migration of former Malaysians are making the country less competitive. Malays are made to feel that they are obliged to the powers in UMNO and that they are considered that their position in life are the results of UMNO NEP policies rather than the efforts they put in. Those who care about righteousness and who feel obligated to honour the promises made by Malay leaders including Tun Razak which said that NEP was for 20years from 1970 to 1990 wants NEP ended so that Malaysia will once again live up to the expectation of early UMNO leaders like Tunku, Tun Ismail and Tun Razak, with a hiatus of 20 years from until 1990.

Mahathir remarks Quote: 21. Apakah kerana penyelewengan yang sedikit ini kita harus tolak DEB? Kata Mat Salleh, “Do you throw out the baby with the water in the wash basin?” Unquote; shows that he would have NEP continued forever. He said as PM that there were still Malay drivers working for Chinese employers and hence NEP had not achieved its objective. Now he blatantly wants NEP to continue and he refute the call by others to have NEP ended by either blaming them for being ungrateful, or for being stupid.

The Malays who see through Mahathir’s claim about NEP are wise to think about issues and the reasons why they are born to this world. They are determined to contribute to the society, and to catch up with social development in the world which accepts that people anywhere in the world are given unrestricted opportunities to achieve their capability to seek happiness.

Only sadist Mahathir wants to see non-Malays suffer, and he tries to be Malay champion though he only marginally qualifies under the grace of article 160. For whatever weakness AAB exhibited as PM, he was at least sincere in trying to be a PM for all Malaysians until Mahathir faulted him for not doing enough for Malays. Yet today he could list all those benefits Malays have enjoyed beyond the period sanctioned officially by Tun Razak. Longevity is normally good, until it favours people who are set to create trouble for the country.
