Bigjoe :
On the May 13 rally, I understand the respond of the opposition is the political expedient and realistic way of dealing with the event/idea in view of Sibu buy-election and challenges faced by PR.
However, I insist the wiser idea is to actually exploit the loophole and hold a similar rally of the same event, in Selangor AND Sibu, tell the truth – May 13 was UMNO’s fault and full of lies about it like the NEP, Ketuanan Melayu. It was the start of lies that was covered up by lies after lies for 40 years that has put us where we are and heading to nowhere possibly oblivion if we don’t do anything about it.
I say tell the truth, don’t condemn it.

A great post by Big Joe! I absolutely agree with him.

Yes, we have been brainwashed log stock and barrel. Just imagine. The NEP never said it was Ketuanan Melayu. Instead, it says “eradication of poverty irrespective of race“. So instead of asking for the NEP to be abolished, we ought to demand that the abuse of the NEP be stopped immediately. Rather than asking for the NEP to be abolished, we MUST insist that the NEP be extended so that the government can honour and implement its objective fully.

Yes, a rally must be organized to counter the May 13 rally and to tell the truth about May 13. And Dr. Kua Kia Soong’s book that tells who the real culprits are behind the May 13 incident should be sold to the public at a heavily discounted price, maybe RM10 a book instead of the usual RM20. We must demand that the government take action against the culprits, some of whom are still alive.

My! Am I impressed to read the Star Online article, DAP to go on ‘A-l-l-a-h’ issue: “The DAP will go ahead with the “A-l-l-a-h” issue in its campaign, ignoring police warning to all political parties that they can be detained under the Sedition Act and Internal Security Act.” Now, BN is in a fix. If they catch, they may lose the Sibu by-election. If they don’t catch, they lose face. Face fear in the face and the fear of fear will fled from your face. The government has never threatened the use of the ISA when the issue was first raised. No demonstrators were arrested. So why now? This type of dirty election tactics must stop if we are to uphold democracy and justice.

I guess the advertisement was part of the APCO package. That file pic of Jarjis and Obama is very amusing.

Just take a good look at the body language of Jamaluddin Jarjis. Why is he feeling so small when facing Kunta Kinte? He should be projecting Ketuanan Melayu, but why is acting as if he is facing our Yang Di-Pertuan Agong?

Let UMNO proceed with slapping the faces of MCA, Gerakan and MIC. Let the supporters of these minority parties see for themselves the impotence of their leaders.

Only slapping? Didn’t Ahmad Ismail’s supporters already stepped on Koh Tsu Koon’s face after tearing down his posters? Well, I wonder whether even a heavy dose of viagra or Tongkat Ali can help BN component party leaders.

K1980 asked: “Why celebrate May 13, 1969?”

Well, that was the day they toppled Tunku and gave birth to Ketuanan. Isn’t it cause for celebration?

I feel very sorry for the Chinese community.
They did nothing at all….. But the umno demons are trying to label them “enemy of malaysia”…..
I can only see this in Malaysia. Nowhere else in this world can i see a particular race, which has been quiet N done nothing,.. being demonised in such a way…. for no reason at all.
To add to this utterly unbelievable situation… the Chinese have also quietly paid the BIGGER part of income taxes, which are channeled directly to you know where.

What goes around comes around. Don’t have to pity the Chinese community because the law of cause and effect will take its course. UMNO has generated a lot of bad karma for itself and the end is near.

MalaysianInsider reports Razali Idris as saying: “We are not threatening anyone. It’s just an event to remind the Malays of what had happened on that fateful day so it won’t happen again in the future.”

Have you seen a donkey talking?

To prove his point that the gathering was not political and meant merely to unite the Malays and not threaten other races, Malaysian Insider reports Razali Idris as saying that invitations were sent out to Malay leaders from the opposition party as well. “From day one, we have decided that no party symbols are allowed at all during the event,” he said in backing his argument that the event was not racist in nature.”

Razali says invitations were sent out to Malay leaders from the opposition party as well, thereby proving that the May 13 “Melayu Bangkit” gathering is not racist in nature.

I think Razali should be sent to the nearest psychiatric hospital for the mentally sick, together with Mahathir. God is keeping Mahathir alive to face retribution when PR takes over Putrajaya.

Najiv came for just 3 minutes. But SUPP announced big that he is going to be in the procession. Now you can see how SUPP could lie to the people. BN can make all sorts of promises but will not do it.

Najib came to get his attendance marked. It is like a university student who disappear from lecture right after his attendance is marked. But we can’t fault him. If he stays too long, people will politicized his presence. At least he comes! As a PM, I think he is better than Mahathir. But then again, that Melayu celup has to prove himself more Malay than Malay, otherwise the Malays may attack his Indian blood.

respost, mistake:
Maybe they called off the gathering was in anticipation of impending Sibu by election. Since WHEN UMNO and its outsourced racist groups like Perkasa and now Gertak care about the feeling of others.

I beg to disagree. The whole world knows that Sibu is going to have a buy-election. In fact, I tend to think that they hold the rally as part of the Sibu buy-election campaign to frighten voters into voting for B-End.

I hope Sibu will tell them off categorically this Sunday.

Jeffrey :You may want to tweet to Cabinet why a former premier would decide on a date like May 13 that not only “both Pakatan Rakyat and Barisan Nasional component party leaders have come out to slam the gathering which some described as “uncivilised” and “insensitive” but also the country’s top leadership felt was inimical to the security situation, if allowed to proceed.

Mahathir must have regretted stepping down and wants to make a comeback. So he tries to sabotage every of his successors.

Why didn’t he organize any May 13 rally during his 22-year rule when he could have done it easily, with or without a police permit? I bet he would have used the ISA without hesitation to arrest anyone who tries to organize one during his rule.

Edmund Burke says: “Those who have been once intoxicated with power and have derived any kind of emolument from it, even though but for one year, never can willingly abandon it. They may be distressed in the midst of all their power, but they will never look to anything but power for their relief.”

Gone are the days when Mahathir can do what he likes at his whims and fancies. He really misses those wonderful days.
