The Racist Card

16 Comments

[EDISI BAHASA MELAYU DI BAWAH ARTIKEL INI]

It
is strange that whenever people like Param Cumaraswamy accuse others of
being racist they end up by exposing the racist in them. For them you
are racist only if you talk about Malays and their need to catch up
with other races. If you talk of the imagined plight of other races in
Malaysia, and make ridiculous statements that the Tamil Indians in
Malaysia are facing “ethnic cleansing” when you know that no such thing
is happening, it is not racist.

It is only in Malaysia that
people of immigrant origins, so identified by their insistence on being
linked race-wise with their countries of origin, are actually accepted
as citizens.

THE MILLIONAIRE CLUB

10 Comments

Touching one million hits among bloggers seem to be something to be
celebrated. I was told that most bloggers will congratulate each other
when one of them hits the million mark, and call the one millionaire.

Some
bloggers have described my achieving the million mark within a month of
my first posting as something phenomenal; one even suggested that it
may be a world record of sorts.

I do not know whether it is.

To me, what is more important is that I have managed to generate enough interest to get that kind of traffic in my blog.

The Criminalisation of War

7 Comments

When I was in Japan recently I had the
opportunity to explain about Malaysia’s Non-Governmental Organisation’s
campaign to make war a punishable crime.

The Japanese had been
guilty of perpetrating brutalities during their Manchurian Incident and
war against China and also during the Pacific War.

On the other
hand they were the only people in the world to experience the first
ever nuclear war, of having their citizens of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
reduced to ashes by atomic bombs, with the loss of 200,000 lives and
thousands more struck down by radiation sickness later.

UMNO yang bukan lagi UMNO

28 Comments

Saya ucap terima kasih kepada beberapa ahli UMNO yang mahu saya kembali menjadi ahli.

Sebenarnya
sejak saya melantik Dato Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi sebagai Perdana
Menteri dan dianya mengisi jawatan itu, UMNO tidak pernah layan saya
sebagai ahli UMNO, jauh sekali sebagai bekas Presiden UMNO.

Dari
awal lagi Menteri-Menteri UMNO, pemimpin-pemimpin UMNO dilarang
daripada berjumpa dengan saya atau menghadiri apa-apa majlis di mana
saya mungkin berucap.

Pemimpin Pemusnah

19 Comments

Apabila musuh menyokong ketua pasukan lawannya, kita boleh ramal ada sesuatu yang tidak kena berkenaan dengan ketua tersebut.Inilah
yang kita sedang lihat berkenaan dengan Presiden UMNO sekarang. Secara
langsung dan tidak langsung kita lihat ketua-ketua parti lawan
menyokong pengekalan Dato Seri Abdullah Badawi sebagai ketua atau
Presiden UMNO dan Perdana Menteri.

Demikian Karpal Singh,
musuh ketat UMNO menasihatkan saya supaya bersara dan tidak
campurtangan dalam urusan kepimpinan Dato Seri Abdullah Badawi.

THE RULE OF LAW

4 Comments

Malaysia is a country which practices the rule of law. Our laws must
cover every aspect of our societal life, so we will know exactly what
we can do and what we cannot do. Prime Ministers in particular must
have everything spelt out for them in this respect. This will enable
them to be charged if they had breached the rule of law long after they
had retired.

Governments, serving Prime Ministers and
Ministers are well placed to initiate action against others. But when
the Government, the Prime Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister do
something wrong, like cover-ups for example, then police reports may be
made against them. But how can the person reporting be sure that the
police will investigate without fear or favour.

Kesetiaan kepada UMNO

6 Comments

1. Saya kurang faham dakwaan pemimpin-pemimpin tertentu UMNO bahawa
mengkritik atau mendesak Presiden UMNO berhenti bermakna tidak setia
kepada UMNO.

2. Tun Razak dan beberapa pemimpin UMNO yang lain
telah tidak bersetuju dengan yang di Pertua UMNO Dato Onn Jaafar
berkenaan dengan cadangannya untuk buka UMNO kepada semua kaum sehingga
Dato Onn terpaksa undur.

3. Apakah sikap dan perbuatan Tun Razak dan rakan-rakannya ketika itu bermakna mereka tidak sayang dan tidak setia kepada UMNO?

“Duri dalam daging”

20 Comments

Saya telah ikuti laporan berkenaan
keputusan saya keluar dari UMNO yang disiarkan RTM 1, 8 malam, 19 hb
Mei. Komen oleh dua pemimpin UMNO amat menggelikan hati saya.

Tun Musa Hitam dakwa saya adalah ‘duri dalam daging yang sekarang sudah dikeluarkan.’

Tun,
apakah Tun lupa Tun jadi duri dalam daging UMNO tahun 1986 – 87 dahulu?
Semasa Tun jadi Timbalan Perdana Menteri [di lantik oleh saya]. Tun
telah letak jawatan Timbalan Perdana Menteri dan Timbalan Presiden UMNO
kerana hendak saya berhenti daripada jadi Perdana Menteri dan diganti
oleh Tun. Atas rayuan ahli Majlis Tertinggi, Tun kembali sebagai
Timbalan Presiden UMNO. Rupa-rupanya Tun masih punyai niat untuk
jatuhkan saya.

“Letter” to Prime Minister of Israel

10 Comments

1. There is a letter being circulated
purporting to be from me when I was Prime Minister, to Ehud Barak,
Prime Minister of Israel congratulating him on his appointment and
requesting for the “Clinton Fund”, for “the purpose of withstanding the
onslaught of Islamic Fundamentalist in Malaysia”.

2. This letter
is not from me or from my office. Firstly, the font used is not the
same as the type in all my letters from the Prime Minister’s office.

3. The Malaysian Coat of Arms at the top is not similar to the one on all my letters from the Prime Minister’s office.

LOMPAT

4 Comments

1. Kita banyak dengar tentang kemungkinan ahli parti Barisan Nasional lompat masuk parti lawan.

2. Jika 35 ahli masuk parti lawan, parti BN akan jatuh. Parti lawan akan menang dan akan dirikan Kerajaan.

3.
Apa akan jadi pada wakil rakyat BN yang lompat? Mereka tidak akan jadi
Perdana Menteri kerana sudah tentu pemimpin Pakatan akan jadi PM.
Ahli-ahli Pakatan yang lain juga ingin jadi Menteri dan Timbalan
Menteri.
