this is some powerful piece of writing, i can almost imagine you giving a fiery speech with all the rhetorics and whatnot!

nazri aziz's statements are so ridiculous it's dumbfounding. it's SO obvious he's covering something. not just 'tutup sebelah mata', tutup telinga and mulut sekali.

Are you so naive as to believe that corruption will never occur in any consolidated power system? Ah, the satisfying self-righteous anger of the enlightened and liberal youth. Perhaps you can design a better system?

What would happen if the so-called special rights were dropped NOW? Equality? Sure. If you are a non-bumi. We all would be equal. And the starving native zombies would blame the now Equal and E-malay-cipated Citizen. And start to feed.

Although I agree this special rights crap is, well, crap. But the cold turkey alternative is a tad unfair to the uneducated and SOME lazy natives.

What I don't understand is the hatred, prejudice and racism directed towards Malays. You can hardly blame the average man on the street for government policies.

This unequal treatment is a drug. And if you take away the drug from the junkie, you either make things worse, or you are liable to make them act violently. Very violently. Never underestimate the stupidity of an addict. There would be no Non-bumi's left if we proceed cold turkey.

What is more realistic is to weed 'em off.

Slowly.

Starting today.

Let's not show how racist we non-malays are. Coz we are. Most of us. An Indian with his Indian stats and woes of the Indian community and the Chinese with his stats and woes as well.

We are SO Malaysian that we forget the majority of the country. Truth is we WANT to hate em. Coz that's what we have been thought, and that makes us no better than what we claim others are.

I admit it. I'm a blatant racist. There is NO race I like. Nor do I like being part of any group. Nobody plays fair. Unless you all do, ALL of you. We are all the same. Malaysia Boleh.

Yeah. But's what is the alternative? We have a weak opposition who harps on things that are good but are white belts in politics compared to those black belt holders in the current Govt. I mean...if the opposition can do something substantive, strategise their attack on govt and not waste time bringing up issue that ultimately are covered up...then things would have worked out nicely.

Anti-BN — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 00:48:31 -0000

STILL WANTING TO VOTE FOR BN.....SOON U WOULD BE WITH NO MORE RIGHTS TO DO THINGS.....

The World already knows NEP = Never Ending Policy. The usual politics. We just have to learn to "work" with it!
I was completely disillusioned on Monday night watching PM Badawi's threats to Datuk Seri Lim Keng Yaik not to "kacau" or face the serious "consequences".

Keng Yaik questioned why after 36 years, Bumi equity ownership was still at 18.9%. (It as 20% in 1990) Clearly stating that he accepted the figure, he merely wanted to know the methodology used to arrive at the figure.

Badawi's reaction is blatantly dishonest. In 2004, Morgan Stanley issued a report that estimated that over 100Billion US Dollars (360 Billion Ringgit) had been lost to Malay patronage in the 20 years preceding 2003. (1984 to 2003) One economist estimates that in the 36 years of its' existence, the NEP has been used to channel over ONE TRILLION RINGGIT to the Malay community through ASN, ASB and other related Govt policies.

Since 1970, the Govt has used the NEP to divert education, employment and every other conceivable benefit to the Malays. These measures have largely been successful with all the top posts in GLCs, Government, Universities, Public listed companies and practically every single area that the Govt has any control over being reserved for one race. No company may be listed with a lower than 30% Bumi equity but there is absolutely no problem if it is otherwise. Some industries have a mandatory 51% Bumi ownership and some industries are reserved exclusively for them. Petronas for example only employs Malays for it's top managerial and executive positions and awards contracts only to Malays.

ALL Govt and Municipal contracts are reserved to class "F" Bumi contractors. All the proposed projects under the 9th Malaysia Plan thus far are reserved for 100% Bumi owned companies. Even open tender projects are awarded to Malays even if their prices are higher with blatantly inferior materials. Micro business loans, business licenses, discounts on property purchases, new Govt employment, EVEN LICENSES FOR HAWKER STALLS are reserved for one race. The list goes on and on but the summary is that the Malays now believes undoubtedly that he is racially privileged and it is their right ASLI's figures of 45% are opposed to the Govt's 18.9% because, firstly, equity value is calculated at par value. For example, if you hold 1,000 Maxis shares of RM 5/- market value each, the Govt says that it is only worth RM 250.00 as these shares have a par value of 25 cents each. If you owned a company with a paid up value of RM 2/- but conducted business worth millions of Ringgit worth of transactions, the Govt values that company at RM 2/-.

The chief setbacks of the abuses of the NEP are rampant corruption and > cronyism, worsening racial polarization, unrelenting brain drains, warped educational system, thwarted economic competitiveness, ineffectual bureaucracy, retarded economic growth and perverted social values. Such anachronistic and regressive policy has no place in the present globalizing world, and for that matter, in any civilized society.

PM Badawi recently intensified the imprint of the perverted NEP philosophy by prohibiting inter-religious and inter-racial discourse which would otherwise have contributed to greater understanding and harmony among the races. Consider the hegemony this has created........

The Jasin MP's saga of cheating millions from Customs over timber imports went unpunished. APs are reserved for Bumis only and despite the millions that each of them make year after year, a senator's son has the audacity to clone the APs several times and the whole thing gets swept under the carpet. A Port Klang councilor buys a 43,000 sq ft plot of land set aside for low cost housing valued at 1.8 million Ringgit for 180k and builds a palace without any approval. He gets fined RM 5,000 and still has 30 days from today to submit his building plans. Yesterday, despite all the bad press this issue got, the Selangor state Govt confirms his position and that of his son and daughter in law as councilors. The message is clear. Power has shifted from the people to the executive.

The whole issue of Bumi chauvinism started at last year's UMNO assembly when the very very vocal UMNO Youth leaders stated in short that "It's our turn to be rich." This greed is not going to end. We as a nation of loyal citizens have to put a dent into this rubbish for the sake of our children. We need a stronger opposition. By sending a threat to Datuk Seri Lim Keng Yaik, Badawi has betrayed us all. Remember this at the next general election.

We don't need a change in Govt. We need a stronger opposition. We need to send a message to the powers that be that we will not accept second class status for our children.

Kenny Gomes — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 00:11:59 -0000

Rest assured this panel was created only to delay the whole issue until the retirement of the CJ. Then the whole matter will be merely academic.

Firstly if we want change, we must make sure that the Election Commission is transparent and not a puppet of the executive. If not they'll just used postal votes and ghost votes to win. That is definite. All of us should join the Bersih Mass Rally on November 10. This is one of the few times that we as citizens can make ourselves heard. More details at http://malaysia-today.net/blog2006/letters.php?...

Every law student clearly remembers the theory of seperation of powers. Even Nazri which usually spews garbage understands this from his interview. But where was his brains when he said he is the minister to the CJ? As usual the ACA will say they have completed their investigation and awaiting the feedback of the panel and AG's chambers.

The government has mastered the tactic of delay and filling our minds with fantasies of grandiose like space (the final frontier). There are more pressing issues at hand. What has happened to the PKFZ scandal? Why hasnt our balding transport minister resign? Particularly after the ferry incident. Alas, they have chosen two scapegoats to take the fall... while this guy still floods the newspapers which his face. Our cabinet lacks accountability and responsibility.

For those of you who have reached 18, remember to register to vote. EVERY VOTE COUNTS! (unless u're a BN supporter). Everyone rejects change because it makes you uncomfortable. Some may prefer to remain in their comfort zone and plead the case of stability. I would like to hear their opinion on that after Petronas runs out of oil. So to all of you, vote for your future and that of the future generation. YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

Peace.

You have spoken exactly what is in the hearts of Malaysians who care for their country. People who do not want to see this country rot from corruption, and being ruled with an iron fist. The truth will eventually come out.

Allow me to link your blog k, I think its time Malaysians stop being ignorant and act on it (not in a violent way, but diplomatically).

true that! excellent blog!

if only more msians were aware of these issues... or if they are, if only they would take action... well, that would be a perfect-ish world no?

unfortunately, most of us are procrastinators who complain and whinge about the system and then we go back to our own lives... and i'm not saying i am not among these procrastinators, but it is time for those who are aware to DO SOMETHING about it!

thank you for the enlightening read! will spread the word!

cheers!

Age is not a factor....As long as we have brain...and free of goverment's indoctrination, we'll be able to think critically....17-21 years old is the best time to nurture the leaders of the future.....19 years old and talk about judiciary..so what???Time has changed brother.....maybe last time you guys don't have the necessary tool the voice out..and perhaps it's due to you guys who don't dare to voice out in your time that led to such a pathetic state of bolehland...hehe...

Su Ann

I've been following the issue since the 3rd day of the release of the video clip. Most of my source of the news are from blogs listed on the http://www.sopo-sentral.blogspot.com/ . But to have read your piece I've to admit that I'm overwhelmed to the effect of having tears of joy in my eyes. Malaysia is not without hope with emergence of politically aware youth like yourself.

It is also heartwarming to see bigwig like Jeff Ooi linking you and most of all Malik Imtiaz Sarwar to comment on your piece.

Pink Power!

Hope to see more youth like you to ensure positive development of our beloved nation.
Keep up the good work!

I was linked here by another site and pinkpau, I must say that was a very well written post. But then again, what would signing petitions and blogging about the injustice and corruption achieve when even a clear, right-in-the-face video evidence couldn't make them budge from their corrupted as*es? And voting powers mean nothing in the pseudo-democracy of Malaysia. If the government were to lose, do you actually believe that the racially divided opposition can prevent the country from spiraling towards widespread racial riots and chaos? People power amounts to nothing except spending a few years in Kamunting.

It's such an irony when the government thinks the brain drain today is due to financial aspects only and lack of patriotism.

Sue An, the only good news is Malek Hussin won. But, the offender did not loose either. Who lost? It is me, your dad and the rest of the tax payers! Why? Because they use our money to pay for the suit! The bad police? He is still walking on the street. So what "reminder" is Datuk Fu talking about? Is the judiary really independent? If they are really independent, why they did not jailed the police? It is a serious case. If you are a normal government employer and you are sued for something, you lost, you pay the sum. The government don't pay for you! Why in this case, the court order the government to pay the 2.5 million and not the offender? If he can't pay, he should go to jail. My guess is, he was instructed by the top government to beat up the detainee. You know, you have done something for the government, they will cover your ass lah.
