1. I dislike to return to this subject but I need to explain myself.
2. I was prompted to write about the racism in meritocracy because of the reaction to Malay criticisms against the ideas coming out of the Chinese Economic Congress.
3. The leader who made the statement on doing away with quotas etc said that cannot we discuss anything without (the Malays) raising racial issues. He apparently considers his call for meritocracy was not racial.
5. As much as giving protection to one race is racial, taking it away from that race so as to benefit another race must also be racial. The suggestion coming as it did from a racially exclusive economic congress must be because it is in the interest of that race. That must be racial even though the demand is for meritocracy.
6. I am not proud of the protection afforded the bumiputera. It implies weakness. I don’t think Malays and other bumiputera like to think that they are inferior in any way.
7. But the reality is that in Malaysia the bumiputeras need new skills and a new culture even. These cannot be had by them in a mere 20 years. The original planners of the NEP were too optimistic.
8. I had suggested merit for university entrance in order to shock the bumiputera into getting serious about their education and their own future. However it did not work.
9. In education whereas there is about 60% bumiputera in the Government universities, there are less than 10% in the private universities. And there are more private universities, university colleges and colleges than there are public (Government) universities. Even the 10% bumiputera are there because of scholarships by MARA. Take the scholarships away and there would be practically none.
10. Why is it that the focus is only on what is done by the Government? If the bumiputera in Government universities should be reduced, then the bumiputera in the private universities should be increased. Or else meritocracy would reduce the number of bumiputeras getting university education. Or is it the intention to deny bumiputeras higher education? They are not the best but they are qualified.
11. It is the same with foreign universities. Because they can afford it there are more non-bumiputera than bumiputera in foreign universities. This must increase the disparities in higher education between different races.
12. Lest I be accused of making unfounded assumption, a proper audit should be done by an impartial team.
13. When I was still PM, the Government decided to allow for private colleges and universities to be set up. They can twin with recognised foreign universities and should issue their diplomas and degrees. The reason for allowing private institutions of higher learning is to reduce cost of tertiary education so that the parents who could not afford to send their children abroad can have access to foreign qualification from local private institutions. You can guess who are the beneficiaries of this Government policy.
14. As for contracts even with the 5% advantage given to bumiputera contractors, many of the Government contracts do not go to them because of their lack of capacity. Even if they do get, non-bumiputera contractors get most of the sub-contracts etc.
15. Actually construction by the private sector is bigger than the public sector. In the private sector the bumiputera contractors get next to nothing. I suppose this is because the private contracts are given based on merit. Or maybe it is not. I don’t know.
16. Take away the minor protection afforded by the NEP and the bumiputera will lose whatever that they may have. Then racial division will be deepened by wealth division. I don’t think this would be good for the country. Remember it was the disparity between rich and poor in Europe which led to the violence of the Communist revolution.
17. I may be labelled a racist but fear of the label will not stop me from working for what I think is the good of the country. Nothing will be gained by dividing the people of Malaysia into poor bumiputera and rich non-bumiputera. The time is not right for disregarding the disparities between the races in the interest of equity and merit.
18. For 46 years this country enjoyed relative stability and consequently good growth. But today the races are more divided than ever. Everyone has become racist, talks about meritocracy notwithstanding. Everyone is thinking about his own race. If I am included it is because I think it is dangerous for the rich to take away what little the poor has.
Dearest YBhg Tun,
I REALLY, REALLY HOPE THAT YBhg Tun SPOTTED my comment, for what I’m about to share is something I think that is close to your heart…
I do strongly think that the time is NOW to also include; in the Najib’s so called transformation process of 1Malaysia:
THE MECHANICS AND SENSIBILITY FOR HUMANKIND OF HAVING JUST
THE YANG DI PERTUAN AGONG AS THE ONLY LEGITIMATE RULER OF
1MALAYSIA.
Well, for the simplest reason, 1Malaysia is an only one tiny country but yet struggling to achieve a developed nation.
All the other many reasons are open secrets and goes without saying that the pros are very, very well indeed far supercede the cons.To preserve the rights of us Malays? I’m sure the powers that be will have their ways and means for an amicable agreement.
(ha ha…already 53 years of independance, it is mere insanity to forever inherit the British evil means)
I hereby hope for YBhg Tun’s wisdom and farsighted vision to vigilantly address this predicament, as you are obviously that “special one” who can ensure this dream becomes a reality. Sad as it is, how satisfying to the rakyat if only Najib practise what he preached; “rakyat didahulukan”.
However nonsical this maybe to YBhg Tun, I beg you sir to give your thoughts and views for us rakyat understanding and acceptance.
Wassalam.
Assalamulaikum waroh matullah
dear Wajaperak
You are correct.I am a product of secular education all my life.All my discoveries or what I think I have discovered are through my using what you would term as IKOS ,ikut kepala otak sendiri..as I believe that is what God have given me brains for.
But my IKOS is guided by The AlQuran and Al hadith minus all the meta physics..because otherwise you cannot make sense of logic…And I am truly appreciative of being a product of that educational background or otherwise my understanding of Islam would have been corrupted too..
Only God knows best.Take care.
Assallammualaikumwarahmatullahiwabarokatuh..
Tun..kami gembira Tun sihat wal afiat..Minta maaf..sampai saat inipun kami masih membebankan Tun..tanpa Tun..kepada siapa kami nak bergayut?..er maksudnya bergantung dan berteduh harap..
Semoga Tun sudi mengizinkan..
[[1-Do you taint Islam when you you speak the truth about it.Or are you the one doing injustice to Islam when you choose to close an eye to these wrong perceptions of Islam out of your ego….How do you help Islam that way?]]
??emph?..Mr Parameswara?..I knew you are a product of tertiary education..So..you should point out which section on what reference you are implying..And for your basic reasoning..you should know in Islam we don’t have anything that called ego..It is kafirian naming convention..See..it is markedly defined between your perception of thing between you and me…:)
[[5-This is what that is most wonderful about this economic system ,people could relate it to God.Normally God is absent when materialism is involved.]]
Aha..sez’s who mister?Actually it is all about education.I will point out a basic principal for you.Once..or maybe it is still in practice ( I meant the sylabus ),JPA sent medical student’s to England and Ireland for their medical studies.Do you know that among their subject is tropical medicine or something universal but unrelated to Malaysian medical practice’s?So these student have to waste another year or two to practice ‘local’ medicine upon graduation and realizes that what they learnt as universal are not apllicable locally.
Hence your argument.We are all the product of our education.Variable at that.What you should have examines is wether your education conforms to the very ‘mainstream’ of Islamic education and jurisprudence?..That is my main argument against anti hadith and Tun blogger in general.From what I perceives from their writing is, most of their conceptual ideas is right.But most of their contextual is wrong.One need’s the master,principal and hafiz to correct oneself.Have you ever ‘muhasabah’ this aspect??
[[The word Allah is constantly on their lips]]
Aha..again.Have you heard any account of sufi and wali Allah who told you that they can see the ‘light’ emanates ( illuminates actually ) from their countenance?..and their lips sparkle where the zikr have passed through? And when this mukmins recites the verses of Al Quran certain light is present? And another light is present when mukmins relates hadith? And no light is present from the lips of mere words and confoundingly one can differentiates between the mixed Al Quran and pure gabarge when somebody tries to distort their version of truth??
Mr Parameswara..again..It is all about Islamic education.
[[6.Allow me to emphasize here that it WAS NOT the Prophet or the Muslim traders who did the conversion but Allah SWT and Allah SWT alone!As a proof of this , was the Prophet present at the Silk Routes or the Straits of Malacca 700 years ago?]]
It is true Mr Parameswara.But secular education gives you this impression.In the real Islamic education,one must realizes the aspect of Tawassul.
Allah loves ( wrongly implied in English!)Rasulullah s.a.w.Allah bestowes faith to whom Allah chose.And this preferences is attributed to Rasullulah s.a.w…and those who trully loves him..
[[7-The job of the Prophet and the the early Muslims was only to relay the message ,that’s all]]
Meaning..Like postman?
[[Only God can convert the people]]
You were wrong in this account.Allah ‘borrowed’ mankind Allah resources from life to all thing wordly.And Allah gives man the right to chose.Look from Surah Al Kahfi..

Dan katakanlah (wahai Muhammad):
The Malaysian chinese can’t speak Malay properly, our National Language
so don’t blame the government for not employing the chinese…
this is call meritocracy
How to communicate with other Malaysian colleague????
Salam Tun yang dihormati.
Are malays really that weak – that we need these quotas just to stay ahead with other races? Is this the reality – that Malay will always need a tongkat to survive in their own country?
Or are we measuring Malays with a different yardstick altogether? Or is it because most of the Malays are currently not available in the country to compete with other races in Malaysia – therefore the dissapointing statistical result which seem to indicate that we Malays are like pariah in our own country.
Or is it could likely be that most of the professionals Malays are overseas contributing their time, effort and their professional global skills and their acumen to enrich and make another nation progress instead – while remain happy and comfortable receiving the spillovers – getting well remunerated, global experience and networks.
Are these people ‘traitors’?
If so, then I am one of them. Yet, there has not been a day that passed that I do not feel longing to come home. Yet, after sitting down with my spouse and kids – we found the cost of returning back to Malaysia is too blatantly much to the ‘benefit’ of returning. I am sure I am not alone on this.
And thus – we remained status quo. Quietly feeling guilty when we see we are living well and comfortable enough – yet most Malaysians struggle each day – by the flip flop policies, mistakes and blunders that the so called leaders of nations – race and/or political parties notwithstanding – that prefers to ridicule each other and focuses of differences rather than unity. That do not feel the slightest guilt when they make decisions that will exacerbate the future of the country’s wealth when they are supposed to be the custodians of the country’s well being and safeguarding its interest for the country’s future for our children.
Would it be too much to ask the Government to somehow lessen a bit for us Malaysian expats the ‘cost’ of return. Called it operation ‘Kembali Berbakti’ – lacking for a better term. Replace the foreign expatriates with similar skills with us to begin with. Give us that job and recognition! We for sure can do a better job since we have a stake in Malaysia. The foreigners DONT!
Get the Malaysians back. I am outside…and I have met many of Malaysians with credentials and experience that I sincerely believe can propel Malaysia to the next level.
A lot of Malays are a product of your administration Tun. We feel close to you Tun and to the country.
My two dirhams.

Asalamualaikum Tun,
Izinkan saya menceritakan pengalaman saya berkenaan dengan meritokrasi di Msia.
Saya adalah bekas pekerja Bank Negara Malaysia dan pekerjaan saya dahulu memberi saya pengetahuan dan pengalaman dalam bidang perbankan dan kewangan. Saya kemudian melanjutkan pelajaran peringkat Master dalam bidang ekonomi di Jepun. Sekembalinya saya, saya berhenti dari BNM dan cuba mendapatkan pekerjaan di sektor swasta. Selama hampir 6 bulan mencari kerja, tidak berjaya. Bank2 milik orang cina dan bank antarabangsa langsung tidak memberi peluang, walaupun hanya untuk temuduga. Saya mula syak, mungkin jika saya orang bukan melayu, tidaklah sesusah ini untuk dapatkan pekerjaan. Inilah sistem meritrokasi yang di amalkan di sini, “Race based meritrocracy”. Akhirnya sebuah bank Jepun di KL tawarkan saya pekerjaan, dimana penemuduganya semua orang Jepun. Walau bagaimanapun, saya sangat kecewa dengan keadaan di Msia. Saya telah mendapatkan bantuan rakan Jepun saya di Jepun dan dalam akan pulang semula ke Jepun tahun hadapan untuk mencari pekerjaan di sana.
Amir
Refering to Malaysian_Living_Overseas 01st Sept 2010..
Point 1. The Headmistress was born chinese but adopted and raised by a Malay family.
Point 2. She visited relative in China a while ago and observed how disciplined the China chinese student were.
Point 3. But in her school, the Male student of chinese and indian ethnic were the least disciplined and mentioned that quite a number werte wearing EAR RING.
Point 4. Refering to this subject(the Ear Ring and indisciplined as COMPARISON to CHINA chinese student) the headmistress told them to go to China and learned their disciplined.
Point 5. One not so intelligent indian Teacher took a quarter of the statement and file a complaint.
……”awak patut balik negeri China”……..(dan lihat akan betapa disiplinnya pelajar-pelajar China disana)
The indian Teacher has a poor command and understanding of BAHASA MALAYSIA. That was where the whole problem was.
I as a Malay was also angry at that statement by the Headmistressif it were true,but I took all the trouble to go to the town and school(though I’m staying in KL)and manage to obtain the truth from students and teachers of mainly Non-Bumiputras.
The moral of the story are:
1. Not fluent in Bahasa Malaysia can create Racial riot.
2. Don’t just read newspapers and net browsing…Get Up and do your own bit and research.Don’t be LAZY.Get the first hand stories.
The indian Teacher was on a long leave.May still be.
Regards and salam to Malaysian who respect the Country’s constitution.

Dear Wajaperak
1-Do you taint Islam when you you speak the truth about it.Or are you the one doing injustice to Islam when you choose to close an eye to these wrong perceptions of Islam out of your ego….How do you help Islam that way?
2-Islam came as a powerful economic system the likes of which the people of the Arabian Peninsular,African trade Routes,Mediterranean/Caspian/Balkan sea Routes,The Silk Routes and the Straits of Malacca have never experienced before.While in all the earlier known systems the rich exploited the poor mercilessly the Islamic economic system when it came gave meaning to humanity.
3-In this sytem practised by the Muslim traders under the political environment provided by the Muslim rulers of the Ottoman in Europe and Northern Africa,the Mongols in South Asia,The Yuan Dynasty China,Malacca Sultanate etc,all Muslims esp the rich paid the mandotary zakat to their Amirs which was distributed to the poor.In addition they also do personal sadaqah which is optional-sunnat-to further contribute to the society.The main objective of these traders is to get the blessings of the Almighty.The more you give the more you get (the blessings..)
4-Being God fearing people they were humble,compassionate,caring and generous.They do not cheat in their dealings.They do not exploit or commit other wrongs as they can feel God watching them.illegal money is nothing but the fuel to burn them in hell.They do not gamble.They do not horde.They ensure money is circulated in the economy for everyone to earn.They do not intoxicate so they are always rational and thinking of God.
5-This is what that is most wonderful about this economic system ,people could relate it to God.Normally God is absent when materialism is involved.But when they deal with this highly respected and influential traders they could actually feel the presence of this one absolute God .The word Allah is constantly on their lips.When the time for the compulsory prayers come they will do their worship together in a group, bowing and prostrating to their lord-etc,etc.They were a moderate people who are only keen to share the truth they have discovered with the rest of the people.As Islam also emphasizes on its adherents to seek knowledge ‘even to China’these traders are always seeking knowledge and hence learned people.This add to their influence and standing amongst the people of the trade routes.
6-It was through this economic system that the successful rich and powerful Muslim traders of yesteryears were able to influence all the people,including the kings of all the land of all religion and creed to Islam centuries ago with God’s help.Allow me to emphasize here that it WAS NOT the Prophet or the Muslim traders who did the conversion but Allah SWT and Allah SWT alone!As a proof of this , was the Prophet present at the Silk Routes or the Straits of Malacca 700 years ago?
7-The job of the Prophet and the the early Muslims was only to relay the message ,that’s all.Only God can convert the people.The Prophet was unsuccessful when he tried to convert the people of Taif.Not only did the people reject his message they even pelted him with stones.One of the things that saddened the Prophet the most was the fact that his beloved uncle who have contributed so much for Islam did not die as a Muslim.He was helpless EVEN with his own uncle.Whether its 1400 years ago or now it will always be Allah SWT ALONE who will open up hearts to Islam.Not any human being but only God can.Please clear this misunderstanding- ‘no prophet,no more enmasse conversion’is not true.
8-It will happen again as God have promised that He will proclaim Islam over ALL religion..Which has not happened yet. The Prophet is our model, if 700 years later along the Silk Route and Straits of Malacca Muslim traders emulating him could do it and receive God’s help..No reason WHY God will not extend us the same help NOW if we do all the right things,agree?After all God’s promise will not happen in a vacuum.Its subjected to the laws of cause and effects.We think up and create ALL the causes and God will provide the effects.That’s why we must learn from the Prophet.He has done it before.No need to reinvent the wheel.
9-In other words what has been done once by the early Muslim traders 1400 or 700 years ago can be done again by the modern Muslim business community.But Our only hope of ever bringing back glory to Islam and open up people to Islam again WILL DEPEND ENTIRELY ON OUR ABILITY TO RECONSTRUCT THE MISSING LINK,the ISLAMIC ECONOMIC SYSTEM again.Simply put,to recreate the Islam that will come AS THE BETTER ALTERNATIVE to the PRESENT DECAYING AND COLLAPSING CAPITALIST economic system of the domineering western Imperialism that is now REARING ITS UGLY HEAD after the collapse of COMMUNISM.It will only be through this economic system that God will open up people to His religion in crowds again….And the good news, wajaperak the achilles heel of the western Imperialism is their economy!
10-I believe that the orientalist have studied the true strength of the Muslims -that is their strong belief in God.If they (the Muslims)believe that God had wanted them to struggle for economic achievement (as the real jihad) they would do that and become successful..thats why they were so successful in economics before..Now if they(the enemies) can divert the emphasis now to spiritualism…A PARADIGM SHIFT..then the muslims will only pursue spiritualism with all their hearts and soul and consequently they will be left behind in the material success..and that will weaken the muslims from ever being a threat to the ENEMIES ever again.Now if they can make the muslims think that blowing themselves up is the jihad ..is that how we got into this messy situation?OOH HAVE THEY BEEN SO SUCCESSFUL!
11-Is it possible that the crusading colonialist have placed munafiq ulamaks in the position of religious authority (in the Al-azhar?)to do this systematic corruption of Islam?Its up to you wajaperak to think.Of course the ‘ulamaqs’ are happy with the present situation,they become very important people inspite of their basic qualifications!If Islam is understood as the Addin an all encompassing civilization covering everything esp economics,sciences,etc will the ‘ulamak’ still be so relevant?So don’t be surprised that the ULAMAKS will be amongst those most reluctant to admit of the CORRUPTION.They have everything to lose…
12-The first step to achieving a RENAISSANCE is we must be critical of ourselves.We must post mortem to see where we have gone wrong.Then we must act to correct and do what is right.If we can’t change the system the least we can do is change ourselves…Start a business/the right economic system in the only SMALL way we can after all everything big started small.Well it all began with just one person 1400 years ago..Confucius say that the journey of a thousand miles begin with the first step..
13-The Prophet had foretold of the coming of Islam again and it what fashion it will reappear..Islam began as something strange and it will be strange again as it began…I hope we can recognize it when it reappears and be amongst the first to support it instead of choosing to fight it on grounds of its strangeness or OUR EGO ..
14-With this restoration of Islam again insyaallah we should be ready for meritocracy.Only God knows best.
I too would not like to touch on the issue as I have many Chinese friends who has many in common. But.. need to share 2 unfortunate but undeniable facts/cases that happened a few years ago;
1. Sometime in 2002/03 -Approached a Developer SBJ in Kota Baru.
The conversation between me and the CHINESE lady Sale Manager:
Me: Can I know how much is the house under development…?
S.Mgr: OH, it’s very expensive….you can’t afford it.
Me: I don’t think that is the issue here.I’m sure I can afford
it.
S.Mgr: Even if you can afford it, WE will not sell to you.
Me: Why?
S.Mgr: Sebab you MELAYU! You nak rumah, you cari tempat lain.Ini
untuk Cina saje.
Outside waiting in the car was my closed friend, a Chinese who asked how much was the house and was it still available and whether I’m buying it.
** The land was formerly a Malay reserved but converted to Freehold by influential palace Madamme.
2. Sometime in 2006. Conversation over the phone for flight reservation to London, between Singapore Airline Reservation staffs(a Malay)and our country’s prominent corporate figure who made it good during your time and a Tan Sri(obviously confered by an Agung)
Tan Sri: (Half way thru reservation process)Hello..excuse me, are you a Malay or Chinese?
SQ Staff: Malay Sir.
Tan Sri: No..no..no.. I don’t want to talk to a Malay, get me a Chinese staff to handle my reservation.Malaysia pun Melayu…Singapore pun Melayu ke?
……………”HE SLAMMED DOWN THE PHONE”………
When meeting you or the country leaders at functions, the scenario will be full of hypocracies.
On one side the Malay gave him wealth and on the other the Malay been marginalised and suppressed.
The same Tan Sri slammed a revolver on the table of a Bank MD insisting on a loan amounting to approx 50 to 70 mil RM which the MD explained that the loan can’t be justified with any merits of the project.
Now, I am working and leaving in an environment whereby my close interaction and association with Chinese in particular is inevitable.We are required to have a strong bond but should there be a certain degree and element of suspicion?
Corruption in government departments are rampant and 99% (figure just drop out of the sky) involves Chinese businessmen as givers and Malays as receivers.
Hypothetical figures: Can we say for every ONE Malay Government Servant receiving corruption money it will create ONE rich Chinaman who in turn socially and economically suppress 100 Malays and ironically one of them is the child of that corrupt Government Servant or his family member.
A job ads does not say it, but as you applied for the post only then they will tell you….oh we only looking for Chinese or…… Indian may be.
Last but not least, I love to reminisce back to 20-30 years ago where there were no worries of Racial issues “to the degree” that we are in today. It may not be long..may be as early as 10 years from now that there might be a great racial calamity in our society.
Question, will Perkasa add the impetus to stabilisation or destabilisation of the issue. I strongly believe in ISA.
We all love you Tun….

Salam Tun, mohon laluan,
En. Muhammad Tan,
Allow me to give just a few name from enterprises where the co-founder and their business value highly motivated by Islamic way:
1. MOTIVATION COUNSELING – Excel Training
2. MLM – HPA-(Al-Wahida Marketing)
3. PUBLISHER – Karangkraf
4. GLC CORPORATION – JCORP
and so far their doing well in business and expanding in humble way. So just another opinion over your perceiving on Islamic value against business/wealth making value.
***Islamic core in wealth motivation: Zakat, sadaqah, rasulullah sunnah, 5 times Solat, Saum, Hajji and Jihad which required – wealth gaining,merchandising attitude, awareness,sharp mind, persistance and highly dicipline, sincerity and determination, unity and connections, well organize systematic missions and guts to win and achieve or dare to fail and learn ..
Assallammualaikumwarahmatullahiwabarokatuh.
Semoga Tun sudi mengizinkan.
Saudara Paramesawara 2.
I agrees with all your point but this one..
[[12-Its no point for me to proceed any further on a sensitive issue as this.But I must maintain that the Islam that we are practising now is so corrupted that it is no longer a beautiful religion it is supposed to be.It is indeed beyond recognition]]
Somewhere in some small comunity or small colony from Japan to America there is indeed a practicing Mukmin society.You can say they are our version of “Amish” people.Instead of shunning modernity and all their aspect,this small practicing mukmin blend with this very secular world and preserves..That why’s Allah promises them heaven through the verbal of Rasullullah s.a.w with this hadith
“Mereka yang mengamalkan Sunnah ku di waktu masyarakat tidak memperdulikan norma dan tatasusila kemanusiaan adalah berjihad laksana berseorangan di dalam pertempuran di keroyok musuh” Allah menjanjikan mereka syurga..To that effect.
And we are by our proportioned in preserving the sunnah too.Likewise another hadith..
“Pembaca Al Quran akan naik darjahnya di dalam syurga mengikut tahap bacaan Al Qurannya”..To that effect.
In another hadith..
“Saudagar ( peniaga ) yang amanah adalah bersama para sidiqqin dan syuhada”..To that effect.
Just why the Muslims traders are among the exalted one in hereafter?
How difficult it is? To rewarded by wealth and fame by being in trade and granted heaven in hereafter??..because it is indeed utmost difficult to attain!!
eg..During the Tsunami…somewhere in a wet market..
Mari-mari pakcik-makcik..sekalian beli ikan air tawar saya..Sudah pasti ikan air tawar saya tidak tercemar!! ( Refering to the rumour that the sea water fish was tainted by consumption of human flesh during the tragedy)
This is what mukmin trader clearly avoided and maintained their attitude,tact and composure.They did not plead on this kind of cheap reasons.They preserves the Islamic moral to the fullest.If they were asked..It is true that sea water fish were contaminated?..They will decline this opportunity to savages the reputation of other for the gain of few ringgit’s or dollar or cent..This is common dollar for mukmin perfecting their common sense..
It is true Islam is not what there were once..But the basic question will be very simple..
Are you the one who “join’s” the world in tainting Islam or are you the selected few who defend’s them?
Do you swim or swamped??
This is exactly what Allah mentioned in Al Quran..
Manusia tidak mendapat..melainkan apa yang di usahakannya..
Terima kasih tuan.
Terima kasih Tun.

///By Muhammad TanAuthor Profile Page on September 14, 2010 11:00 AM
…Islam is a peaceful religion and most muslims are brought up to be peaceful persons, with an easy-going mentality.
With an easy-going mentality, muslims I believe are fundamentally not suited to the business world where only people with shrewd mentality can thrive and prosper. ///
1-This is the common perception today.Doing business is not consistent with our religious beliefs..but is that what Islam is really all about?We often hear that the muslim will justify their inferiority in business by saying that the non-muslims will not get aqirah so God give them this world..
2-On the contrary.Islam is actually a religion for business people.It was send down at the centre of commerce of Arabia in the city of Mecca.To be proclaimed by a trader Muhamad over all the traders of Mecca.Islam came to bring morality to trade not to ask Muslims to shun trading and go seek spiritualism in the caves.
3-When the people of Mecca were determined to end the Islamic movement of the Prophet after the death of his uncle Abu Talib..they needed to establish a new centre of civilization as an alternative to Mecca.
4-With the help of God they were helped by the people of Medina who were willing to risk their lives to offer their city to be that new centre.Had the early Muslims then not been successful traders how do they divert the trade from Mecca to Medina successfully instead?
5-The people of Medina(the Ansars)were dates producers but it was the Muslim traders (the Muhajiruns )who helped them with commerce.If they were to depend on the Jewish traders totally there was no way the early Muslims would be able to be emerge so strong and effective in that short period of time.
6-It was the great business skills of the early Muslim traders and their trading connection that enabled the rapid spread of Islam throughout the 3 mio sq km of the Arabian Peninsular within 23 years 1400 years ago.
7-It was just not in the Arabian Peninsular that the Muslim traders were so effective in their daqwah but elsewhere also along all the major trade routes.
8-Along the Northern silk routes connecting Punjab with Xinjiang you get the most no of Chinese and Indians converted enmasse to Islam.Likewise,in the Southern Silk route connecting Bengal and Yunnan again you will find the most no of Muslims in China and India.The whole of Central Asia became Muslims through these Silk route trading.
9-Along the Mediterranean routes and the Balkans these traders succeeded to open up mostly Christian Europeans to Islam.Istanbul was once Constantinople the capital of the Roman empire during the reign of Emperor Constantine.
10-Nearer home along the Straits of Melaka a handful of these traders have done similar magic converting Hindus and Buddhist to Islam.En-masse like they were charmed by some magic!
11-So why are the Muslims now no longer able to open up people to Islam again?Because after we have been colonized somehow our ulamaqs have dissociated business from our religion.Islam has been reduced to become a mere religion like all the other religions–seeking only spiritualism.
12-Its no point for me to proceed any further on a sensitive issue as this.But I must maintain that the Islam that we are practising now is so corrupted that it is no longer a beautiful religion it is supposed to be.It is indeed beyond recognition.
13-The Islam of the Prophet and the early Muslims then were totally different that is why people from the more established religions like Hinduism,Buddhism,Zorostrians and Christians were able to accept it enmasse before.
14-Had Islam then been the same as the way we are practising it now I believe we would still have been a Buddhist civilization like the rest of mainland South East Asia.
15-Like all other civilization-religion Islam cannot escape the laws of impermanence of all things.There will be a rise, a peak and then a decay/collapse.After 600 years Islam finally collapsed when the Mongols overran the Abbasid Empire.But God promised that He will restore His religion…
16-So is it not strange that the people who came to destroy it later help spread it by providing the political protection to enable the Muslim traders to do their missionary job as they trade.
17-The rulers the Mongols displaced from Baghdad,the Seljuk Turks soon occupy Anatolia and established the Ottoman Empire that later ruled over most of Europe until it was ended by WW 1.
18-Islam was restored the second time by the Mongols who were bent on destroying it.Then through them and the Ottomans later, Islam that was only confined to the Middle east for 600 years before, was then proclaimed over Asia,Africa and Europe.
19-I believe that God will restore this universal message of Islam and at the same time bring morality to business and trading again.This I believe will be the mission of the Imam al Mahdi who would definitely be an awesome trader himself.
20-When Islam returns it will be a truly unrecognizable civilization but our pure souls will recognize that this is the universal message of truth.Only God knows best.
Thanks Tun.
Tun,
In a nutshell, selepas Tun negara kita di pimpin olih pemimpin yang begitu lemah hingga kehari ini. Atas kesalahan Tun memilih Abdullah Badawi, negara kini tidak ada kesudahan dengan masaalah perkauman. Cina dan INdia makin berani mengkritik bangsa Melayu dimana ia tidak pernah berlaku sebelum ini. Pemimpin sekarang nampaknya tidak mempunyai keupayaan untuk menangani masaalah perkauman. Cina dan India semakin berani kerana mereka tahu Melayu tidak bersatu lagi,PAS sanggup bersekutu dengan DAP yang semua orang tahu mereka ini memang anti Melayu. MCA pun sudah tunjuk taring dan sudah menunjuk belang mereka. Hanya UMNO yang konon nya memperjuangkan untuk semua kaum tapi MCA,MIC dan Gerakan walaupun dalam Barisan tetapi mereka hanya memperjuangkan untuk bangsa mereka. UMNO tidak perlu PERKASA lagi demi untuk menarik kepercayaan bukan Melayu untuk pilihanrata akan datang. Agaknya, UMNO belum sedar bahawa bukan Melayu tidak akan menyokong Barisan dipilihanraya akan datang. Bagi pandangan saya, kita mesti ambil tindakan yang paling drastik without mercy to stop all this mess walaupun declaring emergency rule demi keamanan dinegara ini. Tolerance saya sudah sampai ke kemuncak kerana kelemhan kerajaan tidak dapat menyelesaikan masaalah perkauman yang menjadi jadi sekarang.
I think I can emphatise with the Malay dilemma.
What Tun has said is quite true:
“But the reality is that in Malaysia the bumiputeras need new skills and a new culture even. These cannot be had by them in a mere 20 years. The original planners of the NEP were too optimistic.”
Acquiring new skills is easy, acquiring new culture is not, if not impossible.
Islam is a peaceful religion and most muslims are brought up to be peaceful persons, with an easy-going mentality.
With an easy-going mentality, muslims I believe are fundamentally not suited to the business world where only people with shrewd mentality can thrive and prosper.
20 years definitely is not enough. Even 200 years may not be enough. This is due to the fundamental differences in way of life.
Imagine this(pardon the “I”):
To thrive and prosper in the business world, one has to be:
Basically the way of life is different.
Way of life is by choise and by conviction.
Government is not going to change anything by helping to place the best educated Malays in the civil service or armed forces. The best men should be placed in the real battlefields i.e. the business world where the money is, if financial prosperity is what one is after.
But, But, But, But… Is that what one wants? Can a muslim reconcile himself with the business world? That is the dilemma.
What makes the dilemma worse are corrupt practices that we see everywhere that deters a decent muslim.
Can we one day see a level playing field that is void of corruption, that we can in all good conscience send our children in to participate, without going against our religious teaching?
If we have a clean business environment, I am sure more Malays can be encouraged to participate and prosper in businesses.
Even amongst Malays, there are differences.
Kelantan and Trengganu are good examples of a way of life by choice based on principles and religious teaching.
The Federal Government should not be too hard on them if its heart is in the right place.
At the end of the day, we need to reconcile all differences and merge as one before we can move forward, muslims and non-muslims.
Salam Tun,
Adakah benar bahawa orang2 melayu semakin malas dan leka disebabkan DEB? Atau adakah golongan melayu sebegini yang menjadi ali baba, suka mengejar kemewahan dengan cara mudah, menjadi opportunist dalam apa jua conflict tanpa mempunyai etika? Sesuatu kajian yang memdalam harus dibuat. Tetapi berdasarkan pengalaman saya, melayu tidaklah begitu teruk tetapi kebolehan mereka tertinggal disebabkan kesatuan2, kartel2, jalinan hubungan perniagaan orang2 Cina. Berapa ramai kontraktor2 melayu yang seperti menyembah hanya untuk mendapatkan kontrak di sektor2 swasta bukan bumiputra? Berapa ramai ahli2 perniagaan melayu yang mempunyai wang tetapi tidak boleh bertapak ke tempat2 perniagaan strategik di bandar2 besar? Mereka kata jangan berburuk sangka tetapi perbuatan mereka bukan sahaja tidak meritokrasi tetapi hingga ketahap racist. Kalau mereka nak menjadi contoh terbaik meritokrasi janganlah cakap lain buat lain. Kenapa mereka cuba menjadikan contoh buruk kerana DEB tanpa menilai juga contoh baik yang lebih besar dari DEB. Mereka harus sedar betapa gentlemen orang2 melayu dari zaman dahulu lagi hinggakan mereka sanggup membuat kenyataan official termaktub dalam perlembagaan Malaysia bahawa DEB hanyalah ingin membantu orang2 Melayu mendapat 30% kek ekonomi walhal bangsa Cina kalau boleh ingin mengaut seberapa banyak yang mungkin secara senyap dan sembunyi. Percayalah tiada DEB melayu akan lebih ketinggalan. Jika ingin membetulkan keadaan sama2lah berjuang dengan kebanyakan orang2 melayu yang berkebolehan untuk membuang golongan orang2 melayu yang malas dan leka tetapi telah menjadi kaya raya kerana tipu muslihat mereka……hidup PERKASA!!!!!!
Salam Tun,
Saya rasa org2 bukan bumiputera juga patut amalkan meritokrasi di syarikat-syarikat yang mereka miliki. Majikan2 bukan bumi juga patut bersedia melantik pegawai2 bangsa Melayu berdasarkan meritokrasi. Bukan berdasarkan kaum.
Masih banyak syarikat-syarikat milikan bukan bumiputera yang mengamalkan dasar perkauman dalam melantik pegawai2 atasan di syarikat2 tersebut. Pemilik2 syarikat atau CEO atau Pengurus Besar atau Pengurus yang berbangsa bukan bumiputera akan hanya melantik pekerja2 bukan bumiputera untuk mengisi kekosongan jawatan eksekutif dan ke atas. Pekerja berbangsa Melayu tidak akan di lantik untuk jawatan yang lebih tinggi.
Masih ada juga syarikat2 milikan bukan bumiputera yang mempunyai CEO berbangsa Melayu, tapi jawatan2 tinggi pengurusan masih dikuasai oleh bukan bumiputera. Dan syarikat2 ini masih mengamalkan pelantikan berdasarkan kaum untuk kenaikan pangkat.
Adakah syarikat2 bukan bumiputera ini sudah bersedia untuk lakukan meritokrasi dalam kenaikan pangkat?
Ucapan Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri, maaf zahir batin buat Tun sekeluarga.
The concept of racialism and racism are very malleable and are putty in the hands of opportunists. You will always be the subject of criticism from the mainly Chinese business classes within Malaysia and without, driving their narrow arguments and hidden political agendas against you. You are after all Malay and were the one who demolished that myth that only your Chinese neighbour was capable of an economic miracle in this part of the world.
You did during your tenure as Prime Minister make some blunders. Not all of it solely by design or incompetence. Much of it due to the nature and unpredictablity of economic outcomes in a de regulated interdependent free market we live in. No one, not even the IMF predicted the Asian currency crisis. Not any of these geniuses predicted the effect of toxic mortgages that eventually brought down the US banking system and with it others in 2007.
Even Singapore in its arrogance and self righteousness lost an estimated $65 billion from its sovereign fund through bad investments in banks. Not enough said about that fiasco. Work longer to retirement was the advice from its government to its workers whose savings for retirement had been nearly depleted as a consequence. But lets not digress too far.
Having said that I invite a further and more in depth analysis of protectionism for the advancement of vulnerable classes of citizens whether in Malaysia or elsewhere. The NEP and rural Bumiputera’s. Your take at a more profound level of this issue would be interesting and enlightening.
The policy is not unique to Malaysia. Its critics appear to be wilfully blind to the following cases;
(a) In the American context it is their native Indians as in Canada who have special rights and privileges through implementation of proactive and positive discrimination legislation by more recently enlightened governments there.
(b) The privileges and reservations for OBC’s (Other Backward Castes) in an India that denies the existence or recognition of the caste system which is outlawed in its constitution otherwise.
(c ) More controversially the reservation of privilege for women (read mainly white well connected Anglo Celtic women ) in Australia, Canada the US and the UK in their positive discriminaiton legislation favouring their theories of feminism over all other isms and;
(d )The more sinister practice of reservations for Chinese (officially and statistically recognized by government in Singapore as being economically superior to other races) in recognition for their support for a socially repressive regime.
If the meritocracy that supposedly exists within the South East Asian Chinese are to be more closely examined, the record and the evidence would reveal that merit had less to do with their successes than good connections and a capacity to corrupt otherwise good government.
From Singapore to Hong Kong, from Manila to Phnom Penh from Bangkok to Jakarta there is irrefutable evidence of many of the most valuable public assets of these states were handed to Chinese businessmen without the process of public tender being followed or clean fair competition being the criteria for their successes.
It begins with the all white uniform all clean Singaporean example of awarding without tender bank and finance company licenses to Anglophile Chinese merchants from the time of its independence.
Malaysia of course is not without blemish in this respect. If this practice were done like it was in most developing countries post independence,rewarding local businesses with licenses from lottery and other gaming monopolies to banking and finance, from timber concessions to road and rail monopolies in order to advance and encourage local risk takers in business and to encourage self sufficiency that would be different.
The Chinese in this regard have enriched themselves to continue to propagate the theories that other races are lesser than them then condemn the very hand that feeds them because nothing short of a total monopoly and domination of others is satisfactory to them.
Time to call for new tenders for re isssue of licenses in lottery and gaming, banking and finance, logging, roads and ports this time within a new NEP framework implemented more thoroughly and rigidly by the majority. It is after all a democracy is it not?
There are many many individuals and groups from within non Chinese segments of the community that are more able and competitive with capacity to win fairly and run these valuable state assets more efficiently.

Salam to all friends, Malaysians…
Racism is not that bad! Why I
Dr Mahathir is deft at turning an argument on its head. His proffering a racial context to the idealism of meritocracy coming from the Chinese (and the rest) is really ingenious. What he could have meant is that there is no merit in (adopting) meritocracy wholesale at this point in time as the Malays in general are not yet prepared for this. He may be right. I would say don

Dearest Tun,
may I..
bro Samurai melayu other perspective to my Two malaysia.
1-Many things have changed since the forty years after the events of 13 may 69.We are now in the 21st century.Many things Govt could do in the past and can still do now may very soon become obsolete.
2-For one there is this Globalization and Liberalization that will soon take away the independence of Nations.The other is the borderless world where soon businesses are free to roam wherever situations are most conducive to business.Nowhere is too far away from home now,its just a PC away.
3-Everyone is competing for business aggressively..Indonesia,Vietnam,India,China,Eastern Europe,Former Russian republics,etc,etc..and having great advantages such as very cheap labour we will lose out if we have certain policies the investors don’t like.
4-The NEP would soon be nothing but just a curse to contribute to outflow of our local investments to these more competitive nations while at the same time block the much desired inward FDIs since our inventors and innovators have yet to make any impact.Its already happening now.Whatever investors don’t like about a certain country will be quickly supported by the rest in this global village.
5-Tun’s concern of the Malays losing their political dominance is real indeed and as I have repeatedly mentioned could happen as early as PRU13-and we both know that should this happen a calamity the likes of 513 would happen again to Malaysia only now it would be much worse.
6-If you believe that this is an imminence and will happen,can you just sit back and hope that things will just turn out right?What happen if what you wish for or hope will not happen ie the NEP still malfunction?Are we being responsible here?
7-The time is fast approaching when Govts cannot help their people anymore as they wish to.Its the era of the private corporation to rule nations and the world.They have now started ruling America.We have to wake up to this development before its too late.
8-Two Malaysia is not an option as far as I am concerned.It must happen at all cost.But it surely will need some refining and modification.Its just an idea, but one whose time has come.There is no more time to hope for things to be better now..we do not have that luxury.
9-We must proact and change to something that will offer us a promise to keep us alive in the JUNGLE OUT THERE competition for investments while at the same still giving the majority a glimmer of hope to keep up to the Joneses through the social reengineering that they must never give up so that at the end of the day will keep the ghost of 513 or 911 at bay forever.
10-Bro samuraimelayu,thats my unwavering opinion.Thanks for the response anyway.Take care.Selamat hari raya maaf zahir batin.
Thanks Tun.
Tun,
Izin saya balas tulisan Shafinazh,
Saya amat sedih walaupun saya telah banyak kali cuma peringatkan melayu supaya mereka akan sedar dari mimpin siang hari mereka tetapi mereka tetap dengan pemikiran kolot mereka.
Apa yang saudari nyatakan tentang ibubapa saudari yang bangun pagi adalah perkara biasa kerana mana-mana kaum sekali pun akan lakukan yang sama. Kalau bangun pagi pun tak boleh atau tak sanggup buat apa gunannya lagi nak jadi manusia.
Itu adalah perkara asas yang perlu ada pada setiap insan untuk terus hidup di atas bumi ini. Apa yang saya utarakan ialah lebih dari itu, saudari kata kalau melayu diberi peluang maka melayu dapat bukitikan siapa ker sebenarnya pemalas, perasuah dal lain-lain kan ?
Sudah 40 tahun DEB dilaksanakan di Malaysia, itu dipanggil apa kalau bukan peluang ? Tolong saudari jawab, saudari mahu 400 tahun atau 4000 tahun atau selama-lamanya ? Itu lah masalah melayu, sampai bila pun mereka tak tahu mengira, 40 tahun masih kata tak diberi peluang.
Saya nak tegaskan di sini bahawa jangan melayu salahkan British yag menyebabkan orang Cina kaya, kalau betul orang melayu rajin dan bijaksana ada ker perlu pihak British bersusah payah bawa masuk orang Cinna dan India dari negara mereka ???? Gunakan otak saudari, orang British tak sebodoh orang melayu suka buat kerja bodoh atau kerja yang rugikan mereka.
Ada ker sejak orang Cina datang ke Malaysia, kerajaanlah yang menyokong mereka dalam semua bidang sehingga mereka kaya-raya, kalau itu lah sebab-sebabnya maka saya setuju 100 % bahawa orang Cina memang tamak. Mereka bukan sahaja tidak disokong tetapi mereka berusaha sendiri dan berjimat-cermat sehingga terpaksa korbankan kemewahan duniawi sementara mereka masih belum berjaya. Tidak seperti orang melayu dapat saja pinjaman dari kerajaan dengan serta merta beli kereta baru dan lain-lain, nampak ker bezanya saudari ??? Saya dapat tahun ketika Tan Sri Sanusi jadi Menteri Besar Kedah, semua kilang beras yang diusahakan oleh orang cina bertahun-tahun lamanya tidak dibaharui lesen mereka sehingga paksa mereka jual kepada orang melayu. Menteri Besar itu fikir nak menguruskan Kilang Beras itu begitu mudah, dia fikir semua orang pun boleh buat. Apa sudah jadi selepas itu, melayu yang dapat pinjaman 100 % daripada kerajaan dengan serta-merta hidup mewah dengan tukar kereta mewah dan lain-lain sehingga hampir 90 % kilang beras tersebut jatuh bankrap yang mana akhirnya pihak kerajaan terpaksa minta orang cina beli balik, ada ker itu dipanggil tamak. Peluang sudah diberi tetapi mana hasilnya ? Masih buat mimpin siang hari ???
Selama-lama 40 tahun DEB dilaksanakan, kaum Cina tak pernah bersungut pun, cuma selepas 40 tahun dan ramai juda tahu bahawa dasar ini telah salah digunakan oleh kroni-kroni kerajaan yang mana yang benar-benar miskin samada melayu, cina atau india tidak dibela baru lah kaum bukan bumiptra bangkin dan menentang.
Tentangan terhadap DEB sebenarnya harus disokong oleh orang melayu kerana ia akan memberi keuntungan kepada orang melayu juga kalau betul-betul mereka faham, kenapa mereka bodoh sangat sehingga di perbodohkan oleh kerajaan BN slama-lama ini. Saudari tak tahu siapa yang perasuh selama ini ? Siapa ker yang paling ramai berkerja di Jabatan kerajaan kalau bukan bangsa melayu, mereka dengan tidak segan silu meminta rasuah. Bagi mereka Islam ker atau tidak sudah tidak penting lagi, yang penting wang. Kalau tidak mahu bayar semua proses akan lambat, mereka sengaja buat-buat lambat. Cubalah kalau semua proses pemohonan berjalan lancar, adaker perlu orang bayar rasuah ? bodoh lah kalau orang itu bayar ?
Sekarang Kerajaan Pakatan Rakyat ada kemajuan kerana semua proses kerajaan berjalan lancar, jadi semua rakyat pun gembira kerana tak perlu bayar rasuah. Sedih orang melayu, kalau lah ini sikap anda semua yang sampai bila pun tak sedar-sedar maka anda semua kan menuju ke masa depan yang gelap.
Sekalin terima kasih.
SALAM KASIH DAN SAYANG

“Umpama Menarik Rambut Dalam Tepung, Rambut Tak Putus, Tepung Tak Selerak”…
Inilah pendapat saya berkenaan sifat racis kaum lain terhadap kaum Bumiputera, terutama yang mempunyai kekuatan ekonomi. Dulu mereka senyap, mengangguk dan mengiakan sahaja. Sekarang apabila semakin memonopoli ekonomi, mereka sedar tanpa kesamarataan dalam politik, mereka tidak akan menjadi tuan, sepertimana mereka didalam syarikat mereka.
Hairannya saya, apabila Bumiputera buka saja mulut tentang hak mereka, terus dilabel racis. Tak pula saya mendengar dari mulut Bumiputera sewenang-wenangnya melabel mereka racis apabila mereka berbondong-bondong mempertahankan sekolah jenis mereka atau meletakkan syarat fasih bahasa ibunda mereka untuk bekerja di syarikat mereka. Sehingga perlu ditegur oleh PM baru kita di satu majlis tidak lama dahulu. Jika mereka tidak racis, kenapa tidak mahu bersekolah di sekolah kebangsaan? Kenapa tidak meletakkan Bahasa Kebangsaan atau jika enggan, Bahasa Inggeris sebagai bahasa antarabangsa sebagai syarat mohon kerja di tempat mereka?
Masih ingat kes panas Warga China dikatakan dirakam gambar bogel semasa ditahan dalam lokap dan diketuk ketampi dulu? Sibuk hero-hero mereka mempertahankan hak wanita-wanita tersebut. Sanggup naik turun court, press conference hentam pihak berwajib. Bila sah yang gambar itu milik seorang wanita melayu, semua senyap. Kata dulu atas nama dasar kemanusiaan dan hak-hak asasi manusia? Kenapa wanita itu tak dibela sama seperti warga asing tersebut?
Kawan saya bekerja dalam sebuah kilang sebagai A.E. Seperti biasa bahagian Purchasing/Procurement dimonopoli oleh mereka. Seperti biasa tender pembekal dikeluarkan secara terbuka untuk dapatkan sebut harga. Bila sebut harga diperolehi, sebuah pembekal Bumiputera adalah yang terendah dan layak. Tapi mereka telah menghubungi pembekal mereka dan meminta direndahkan lagi harga. Melepas syarikat Bumiputera tersebut. Saya rasa bukan di kilang tersebut sahaja malah dimana-mana pun. Sebab itu syarikat Bumiputera terlalu bergantung kepada tender Kerajaan yang tak seberapa.
Pelajar universiti mereka lebih pandai? Mereka sebenarnya biasa sahaja tapi sangat saling bersatu. Kertas nota, ujian, tesis dan jawapan peperiksaan senior akan dijadikan pusaka kepada junior. Cuma cut and paste yang sesuai, tambah sedikit nota baru dan hantar. Bumiputera dan India, sendiri bikin sendiri, salah berkati-kati sebab tak ada panduan sebegitu. Carilah mana-mana student universiti Bumiputera atau India, tak akan dapat past year Q&A dari senior punya. Habis ja exam, buang tong sampah saja sebab tak tau jawapan. Padahal kalau dia kasi junior, at least mereka dah tahu apa yang senior tu tak leh jawab dan cari jawapannya. Yang dah ada jawapan, paste aja..
Anda bekerja disyarikat swasta? Saya berkerja di syarikat swasta. Bumiputera tak boleh buat kerja? Anda silap. Ada sahabat saya yang langsung tak boleh cuti sebab kalau dia tak ada, tak ada orang boleh buat kerja dia. tapi hujung tahun, potong sana potong sini, pangkat ciput sama gaji juga. Mereka juga yang kerja bagus padahal sikit-sikit minta tolong kita buat. Nak guna Excel pun tak tau tapi hujung tahun, gooooddddd job. Ye la, dah ambil kita punya..
Saya sangat minat drama Pi Mai Pi Mai Tangtu, Gerak Khas dan Simpang Tiga. Kenal Angeline Tan, Sathiya, Kenchana Dewi? Tapi drama mereka kalau ada pun Bumiputera, jadi driver kot. Jarang sangat la ada.
Racis kah mereka? Saya tak terpikir pun begitu. Mungkin sebab Bumiputera selalu pikir yang baik-baik kot? Atau macam perumpamaan yang saya beri tadi kot? Hmm….

Hitting the piss means going to the pubs. i aint piss at you. You’r the one who is living in the jungle ye.
And did chinese pour in investment back to malaysia? the answer would be yes. why? because they saw hope in malaysia and a new beginning. However, you were right, they did also send money back to wherever chinese come from.
Why dont we patronise Malays shop? What type of shop are you talkin about? Grocery shops? Restaurant?
Its most likely that not that Malay grocery shops dont sell the stuff chinese want. Pork, booze, and non halal food is the most awesome stuff on earth and you guys dont sell it. It all comes down to variety.
So now restaurant. I seriously dont know much about Malay food. I only know of nasi lemak, roti jala, rendang and ketupat. Call me ignorant but there could be more but im not sure iv heard about it. But in Chiense restaurant, there heaps of food and being chiense food, they taste nothing less than yummy.
What about other businesses? Why are we reluctant to get a Malay lawyer, or a Malay accountant or a Malay doctor? Again, being blunt, we believe that we are the best, its a stereotype thinking. So why go to other races if they are not that good. Of course that is just stereotyping. Its like saying Chinese are always rich. Its equally insulting. But hey, we dont make the stereotyping we just happened to live in it.
Why do chinese and indians get angry when told to go back to China or india? BEcause believe it or not, we call Malaysia home. Believe it or not, we have families here. Believe it or not, given a choice, we will still stay in Malaysia. We work hard for our lives and for that of the country, we dont send money back to China or India any more, we pay taxes, we build businesses and we give back to the community.
Yes, i cant speak much Malay myself despite getting A2 for it in SPM. But atleast most of the non malays understand it and to a certain degree, converse it. You at the other hand, only bilingual. Most of us can speak or have sufficient understanding of at least 3 languages. Mother tongue, Malay and definitely english.
On your thoughts of why is chinese always being unfair. We’r not unfair, why we can win elections in a Malay majority area? I dont have a clue. Ask you Malay counterparts.
Its the same with business, you guys can just boycott the chinese. We never force malays to come to our shops. You come on your free will. Instead of blaming us, learn from us, use that against us, beat us. Stop whinging like a 12 year old girl. Its time to man up.
And i dont need to apologise to you or anyone else. Its a forum and i was merely giving my thoughts of my experience and observation be it a stereotype or not, it does not matter.
Last of all, to the man they call Adam.
You competed with the Chinese and Indian in Uni? Welcome to the real world. No more ignorance is bliss i hope for your sake.
You are right, my observation is limited. I came from a school where the top classes are sardined with chinese. I’l give you a ballpark. 50 students in the class overall, 40 chinese, 7 natives and 3 malays. Go figure. The second best class wasn’t much difference in ratio either.
In out context, inter race competition is ever complete without the chinese or indians (to be extremely blunt). you can never say you have achieve something unless you have met your match. Its a fact. No one will ever be content for the rest of their lives knowing that there was never contention at the first place.
Another thing, dont hate the playars, hate the game.
One more thing, what doesn’t kill just make you stronger. Same for drugs, and all the vice. Im not endorsing them but i say go for it dude. Life is too short to NOT experience stuff be it good or bad.
Assalamualaikum YAB Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad…
No wonder laa I felt something is missing…Dah lama tak masuk blog Che Det..
Komen laa apa pun yang orang nak komen.Yang penting saya nak ucapkan JUTAAN TERIMA KASIH pada YAB Tun M kerana telah dapat memberi petunjuk dan panduan yang amat berguna pada Perdana Menteri Malaysia sekarang YAB Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak dalam menerajui negara Malaysia.
Minggu lepas MatrixResearch telah datang buat survey kat rumah saya.
Saya telah memberikan sokongan 110% ke atas dasar2 kerajaan kepada rakyat Malaysia.Apa lagi yang rakyat Malaysia mahu dari kerajaan.
Semua tu tak tau bersyukur…sudah laa..lain kali pada yang bukan bumiputera..yang dapat biasiswa daripada JPA, bila dah grad silalah buat announcement secara terbuka yang depa tu JPA yang tanggung.Jangan jadi kacang lupakan kulit.Kenapa UMNO & penyokongnya tak pernah pun nak pertikaikan TAR College. Sebab UMNO dan penyokongnya paham dasar kerajaan. Heeii geram pulak jadinya.
Ok lah YAB Tun M, tak mau geram2 time2 nak raya nie…
~~SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI, MAAF ZAHIR BATIN PADA YAB TUN DR MAHATHIR SEKELUARGA, SEMOGA YAB TUN DR MAHATHIR SENTIASA DILINDUNGI ALLAH S.W.T..AMIN~~
Tun,
Ini komen saya kepada Matahati Malaysia,
Saudara, yang perlu buka mata ialah anda atau kaum bumiputra dan UMNO dan bukan kami. Sudah banyak kali saya jelaskan dalam tulisan saya yang lepas bahawa yang betul-betul rosakkan melayu ialah UMNo sendiri.
Kenapa saya kata demikian ? Ini adalah kerana dengan mudah kaum bumiputra dapat masuk universiti walaupun dengan keputusan peperiksaan yang kurang baik, saya tak kata melayu tak pandai tetapi peratusaannya adalah kecil.
Akibatnya apabila mereka habis pengajian mereka maka mereka mula nampak kesan-kesannya apabila hendak meminta kerja. Mana-mana majikan sekalipun tentu mahu mengambil pekerja yang terbaik untuk berkerja di syarikatnya, kenapa kaum bukan bumiputra lebih mudah dapat pekerjaan ?
Ini adalah kerana bagi kaum bukan bumiputra nak dipilih masuk pusat Pengajian Tinggi adalah yang terpilih daripada ” best of the best “, jadi apabila mereka pergi minta kerja majikan tak ada masalah untuk fikir dua kali untuk ambil mereka sebagai pekerjanya.
Bagi Kaum bumiputra pulak, 90 % daripada lepasan Pusat Pengajian Tinggi adalah kerana kuota semata-mata dan bukan kerana kebolehan mereka. Mungkim kawan anda itu adalah dalam 10 % yang saya sebut kan tadi iaitu golongan yang betul-betul bijak tetapi apa boleh buat semua sudah di campur adukkan.
Mana-mana majikan pun tak akan tahu yang mana adalah betul-betul bijak jadi jangan lah salahkan orang bukan bumiputra tetapi kepada Kerajaan BN yang hendak sokon selama ini yang akhirnya sudah rosakkan orang melayu sendiri.
Apa gunannya ijazah tetapi tak ada nilainya ? Kalau melayu betul-betul sudah pandai, bukitkan sahaja. Apa yang nak digaduh sangat ? Melayu nak jadi Tuan konon, tapi masih perlukan tongkat. Tak sanggup lepaskan DEB, bukan ker itu akan jadikan bahan ketawa dunia ?
Kalau saya melayu, saya akan berasa malu besar.
Terima kasih
Assallammualaikumwarahmatullahiwabarokatuh..
Semoga Tun sudi mengizinkan..
[[Sdr zainal,
Kami juga tertanya2 juga ” Bagaimana kah cara atau ‘rukun’ sembahyang orang Kristian diMasjid Nabi tu?…setahu kami peralatan2 sembahyang orang Kristian TIDAK terdapat didalam masjid terutamanya air ‘Holy water’, patung ‘Holy Son’ dan kitab ‘Holy bible’. Dia orang juga macam kita orang Islam… ada TERTIB ketika mengerjakan ibadah!Sudilah kiranya Sdr. Zainal berkongsi pengetahuan ‘cara orang kristian sembahyang’ ketika dimasjid Nabi dengan KAMI (Kita Anak Muslim Insaf)..???]]
Abg samuraimelayu..
Amat merbahaya sekali jika kita memperkatakan sesuatu yang kita tidak mengetahuinya dengan lengkap.Sebab itu Allah menegur manusia dengan ayat ini di dalam Al Quran..
Janganlah kamu memperkatakan sesuatu yang kamu tidak mempunyai pengetahuan dengannya kerana setiap pendengaran,penglihatan dan hati semuanya akan di pertanggungjawabkan.
Artikel berkenaan orang “kristian” menunaikan “sembahyang” di masjid adalah amat merbahaya sekali kerana Rasullulah s.a.w tidak..saya ulang dan saya ulang sekali lagi..
TIDAK PERNAH MEMBENARKAN ORANG ORANG KAFIR BERSEMBAHYANG DI
MASJID!!TIDAK SAMA SEKALI..TIDAK!!
Apa yang berlaku ialah orang-orang ini beragama Nasrani..Perhatikan akan jauh perbezaaan di antara agama Nasrani dengan Kristian.Mereka inilah yang di sebutkan “ahli kitab” oleh Rasullulah s.a.w.Di waktu itu mereka masih belum “bertembung” dengan Rasullulah s.a.w.Setelah mendapat keteramngan penuh Rasullulah s.a.w barulah mereka semua memeluk agama Islam..Perhatikan..Peralihan daripada mengikut Nabi Isa a.s sebagai Rasullulah kepada Muhammad Rasullulah s.a.w
Orang-orang Kristian bukan Nasrani..Nasrani juga bukan Kristian!..Jangan sesekali kita terpedaya dengan kelemahan ilmu kita sendiri!!
AbgPenyuMenangis..
Ribuan terima kasih Abg..
Saya amat terharu dengan luahan hati abang
[[Hal-hal remeh seperti ini yang menyentuh persaan saya, sebagai orang Islam dan saya amat menghargainya. Alhamdullilah, saya di jadikan orang Islam]]
Di dalam Islam tidak ada yang remeh temeh..TIDAK ADA!!..Bermula dari bangkit tidur,mensucikan diri dan sebagainya..semuanya adalah ibadah jua kepada Allah..dan jika kita tidak meniat dan menghayati ibadah maka rugilah kita..Saya ambil sedikit daripada Ihya Ulumiddin tentang niat untuk panduan kita bersama..
Amal yang baik bermula dengan niat.Hadith Rasullulah s.a.w
Imam AL Ghazali Ihya Ulumiddin
Bahawa orang yang bodoh itu mengatakan pada dirinya ( hatinya ) ketika ia mengajar atau berniaga atau makan.
Dear Tun,
wishing you selamat hari raya..
I believe, nothing will change in Malaysia in term of race/racist relation or accusition unless several things are change as below.
1. We should only have ONE school for the Primary and Secondary school.
– this allow all races to learn and get close to each other and understand well.
– i have school in sek. kebangsaan before and get into college becoming the minority, where i saw, truely, there are no different between the Malay, the Chinese, the indians need. they needs are the same.
– we are not getting closer to each other by having 3 type of school.
– we are going back to “PECAH & PERINTAH’ during British time, by we ourselves diving us.
2. We Should learn and know by now, that the malays will not go away, the chinese will not go away and the indian will not go away from Malaysia
– this is all our blessed land.
– they might go out to find better jobs or salary outside, but malaysia remain their homeland.
– which such, actions to pull this 3 major race should be created, not only in politics but in everyway.
3. Malay’s Right
– the right of the malays should be protected as they have given away citizenship to the none malay during the creation of Malaysia.
– no country in the world give automatic citizenship like Malaysia during that time.
– this should be understandable and accepted for whole race.
– the malay’s has given much to the others during that time and now.
We did not ask to be born,malay,chinese nor indian.
I am very good looking,also did not ask to be born such.
Yaya like papaya.
Chinese are more proporous as their anchestor starts the ball rolling earlier.Malay just woke up from the other side of the bed.
It is good to have a chemistry between us,the multiracial.
If all are chinese,Malaysia will burn out,as this race will crave the nature for wealth.As IF there is no tomorrow.
If all are malay,more reserves nature,probably still walking bare footed,with the kris,also the metal made in China.
Then comes the Indian to spice things up,make curry and dalca out of us,Malaysian,making it more yummy and spicy.
The good facts these are balances that mould us together.
That unite us,if all are chinese,there will be different clans,
to unite clans is tougher than to unite races.
Cina kawin melayu dapat anak mama sebelah,ok apa!
I second with ‘Alirimba’
In Kuching one can hardly see any shops, workshops even profesional help such as a bumi ‘paediatrician’. It is almost entirely dominated by non bumis. Why is that? Is it that the bumis are lazy? Mentally challenge perhaps? To me the reason is, most bumis here have no merits. And what does merit means in this part of Malaysia anyway? Political advantage? Economical advantage? Being a gangster? I really do not know and …er yes Bahasa Malaysia is not a prerequisite here. What I know is that if meritrocracy is at full swing here, I dread to imagine where will bumis like Bidayuhs, Ibans Penans, Kayans, Kenyahs, Malays etc etc (yes Malaysia is multiracial than you imagined) be in 10 years time, all are have similar qualities of giving, forgiving, generous, and unfortunately vulnerable.
Price of houses in Kuching has tripled and some areas even qudripled making it so unaffordable for bumis. So its not surprising that they can give discounts to whoever they want, memang bumi tak mampu. That’s why you can see that Kuching has the worst skewed racial polarisation in the country. Just take a drive around, and you’ll see what I mean.
You guys can argue about racial equality or meritocracy (both proponent and opponent), for me, what is evident in front of my eye what counts. 1Malaysia in Sarawak? Well maybe during celeberation of festivities apart from that, it’s ‘you punya pasal lor…..’
I urge the bumis to unite, you guys are stronger than you think…..

Untuk Khusrin kita ingin bertanya soalan berikut : Adakah Rasulullah s.a.w tidak tahu orang-orang Kristian Najran berhadas besar semasa Rasulullah s.a.w membenarkan mereka masuk Masjid Nabi dan bersembahyang di Masjid Nabi ?
Sdr zainal,
Kami juga tertanya2 juga ” Bagaimana kah cara atau ‘rukun’ sembahyang orang Kristian diMasjid Nabi tu?…setahu kami peralatan2 sembahyang orang Kristian TIDAK terdapat didalam masjid terutamanya air ‘Holy water’, patung ‘Holy Son’ dan kitab ‘Holy bible’. Dia orang juga macam kita orang Islam… ada TERTIB ketika mengerjakan ibadah!
Sudilah kiranya Sdr. Zainal berkongsi pengetahuan ‘cara orang kristian sembahyang’ ketika dimasjid Nabi dengan KAMI (Kita Anak Muslim Insaf)..???
Terima kasih.
ALFATIHAH, AMIN
Puan Siti Inshah Mansor, the school principal in Kulai Johor, was totally misunderstood. Her real intention was totally 1Malaysia.
In making the totally racists remarks to all her students at an assembly, Puan Siti Inshah Mansor’s real intention was to provoke investigation by authorities so that she will get her day in court to state on the record to denounce the racisms taught at the Biro Tetangga Negara BTN.
Unknown to most people, Puan Siti Inshah Mansor was born to a Chinese Hainanese father and an Indian Sikh mother. Her family name was SIAW and her given birth name was SIAW Cha Po. Her maternal grandfather gave her name Suri. But her mother and father divorced shortly after her birth and poor Siti was given away to a Malay family and was brought up as Siti Inshah Mansor. Siti was an introvert and she grew up to hate her parents who abandoned her. That was part of the reasons for the outburst about Indian and Chinese.
Siti ultimate aim was because she wanted the public to know the unacceptable teaching that the BTN forced upon her consciences so she decided to do the opposite and make the public wake up. However Siti did not expect to be ignored by the authorities so completely that she was not questioned by the authorities and she was not charged in court nor given the court to tell her disgust about BTN.
Wong Meng Chee the rapper who produced the Nah song is equally smart and saw through Siti’s message. When Namewee noticed the authorities did not react to Siti’s outburst, Namewee decided to help Siti by creating the song “Nah”. That really got the attention of the authorities. Namewee has helped Puan Siti Inshah Mansor to kick the authorities to take action against racists.
Well done to both of you. Your cooperation are commendable.

Sdrku parameswara 2,
Let us stick to the NEW ECONOMIC POLICY (NEP) which was found most suitable to promote prosperity, peace and harmony. Since its implementation after the ‘darkdays’ of May the 13th 1969 we are yet to face another ‘darkday’ except for the power failure which put the country into darkness and jeapordised the nation’s manufacturing and indusrial outputs.
We can’t imagine the country being divided into ‘NEP’ states and ‘Meritocracy’ states.
Where will the 30% Malay directors and the less than 10% management staff and 60% labour force which were appointed and/or employed as a requirement under the NEP go to? Obviously, under a meritocratic business environment there is no necessity for a bumi quota in the human and ‘venture’ capitals ..that’s the scenario prior to 5/13!
Which malaysian race is really in control of the vast majority of the tangible assets after 4 decades of NEP? Not to mention the intangible assets it possessed since the ‘dynasty’ days … obviously not the ‘little’ Malay!
We did questioned in our earlier posting, ‘will the demand for meritocracy REALLY opens up more spaces and opportunities to the ‘Poor and Weak’?..The answer my friend is blowing in the wind.
AT THIS POINT OF TIME, LET US STICK TO THE CURRENT WEALTH DISTRIBUTION QUOTAS UNDER THE NEP BUT A VERY SERIOUS EFFORT MUST BE UNDERTAKEN BY THE GOVERNMENT OF THE DAY TO ENSURE THAT WHAT LITTLE ASSETS THE MALAY HAVE IS SUSTAINED AND EVENTUALLY INCREASED TO A MORE EQUITABLE COMPOSITION… A BALANCE ACCOUNTS THAT MUST BE ‘AUDITED’ .(Some parties have two ‘audited’ balance sheets-One for bank uses and the other for Income tax uses..he he)
SUPPORT THE NEP. OTHERWISE, THE DAY WILL COME WHEN THE PAKATAN RAKYAT MERITOCRACY BRAND OF NEEDLE WILL PRICK THE CALAMITY BALOON AND DECADES OF NATION BUILDING WILL BE DESTROYED AT A COST THAT WILL MAKE 9/11 ACCOUNTS, IRRELEVANT!
TO SAVE THE DAY, WE ONLY HAVE TO GET RID OF THE MERITOCRAT RACISTS (BN AND/OR PR) FROM MALAYSIAN POLITICS COMES PRU 13…
THE BN GOV’T OBLIGATION TO CONTINOUSLY PROTECT THE PRIVILEGES OF THE ‘POOR AND WEAK’ (IRRESPECTIVE OF IDEOLOGY OR BELIEFS) SHOULD BE THE CALL OF ALL THE RAKYAT ( INCLUDING THE RICH AND STRONG) INSTEAD OF MERITOCRACY AND WE WISH THAT THE CURRENT LEADERSHIPS WILL ‘CLEANSE’ THEMSELVES OF CORRUPT PRACTICES AND RHETORICS AND SERIOUSLY PURSUE OUR AYAHANDA TUN VISION OF MALAYSIA… A DEVELOPED AND HARMONIOUS NATION BY 2020..
‘WAWASAN 2020 BUKAN TITIK PENYUDAH BAGI JENERASI MENDATANG IA BERMULA’…our ever sacred quote.
MAY THE ALMIGHTY ALLAH SWT BLESS THE HOPES OF THE RAKYAT..AMIN.
ALFATIHAH, AMIN
Ps. Thank you Ayahanda Tun… for your sweats and tears to prosper the common rakyat. We are proud to see that the low cost flats resident parkings are overly occupied ever since.. perhaps to the ungrateful rich meritocrat racists( the followers and the high priest of the muttals included) that’s nothing great of your 22 years reign but to KAMI (Kita Anak Malaysia Insaf), its one of the great achievements under your DYNAMIC guardianship!
Tun,
Its saddening to read this and more disgusting to read that even the Bumis themselves condemn this so-called Affimative Action or NEP. With this being in existence for so many decades, it is disheartening tht this NEP has created so many rich Malays marginalising the poorer Malays. The Govt is unwilling to tweak this NEP policy for the last 50 years. This only showed one thing – that the policy is biased and is benefitting one faction of the Malay race only. The rich Malays is getting richer. The poor is getting poorer. Vice versa for the Chinese.
Don’t forget that there are poor Malays as well as poor Chinese and Indians.
A’kum YA Bhg Tun dan juga pembaca2 sekalian,
Saya pasti ada dikalangan pembaca adalah pentadbir2 kerajaan juga ahli2 politik (kerajaan juga pembangkang).
Saya amat tertarik dengan para terakhir “If I am included it is because I think it is dangerous for the rich to take away what little the poor has”.
From Tun’s explanation, I can imagine the disparity between the economic and academic dominant race and the poor majority. Soon this poor majority may retaliate.
Banyak benarnya pandangan2 YA Bhg Tun kemukakan didalam blognya. Ada antaranya kemungkinan akan menjadi realiti atau seperti apa yang dijangkakan.
Saya cadangkan supaya pentadbir kerajaan dapat manjadikan “blog posting” Y. Bhg Tun sebagai khazanah negara, untuk menjadi rujukan generasi akan datang.
Salam.
betulkah ada meritokrasi dalam private sector?
Jika ada, mengapa susah hendak jumpa qualified accountant Melayu except di GLCs?
Jika tiada GLCs, ke mana agaknya qualified profesional Melayu nak menyumbang talent?
So, siapa yg racist?
definitely bukan Tun Dr M!
Once DAP grab hold of the political power in malaysia (under the pretense of ‘meritocracy’..
they will make malaysia a communist china’s brother and will drive the malay out of their own land…
Don’t believe??
look at Singapore, what has it become?
Chinese from China are being brought in to increase the Chinese population there
Its clearly that DAP are trying to create racial tension, baseless propaganda and create disunity among Malaysians
so that the economy will not be improved..
and DAP will use it as a reason to bring down UMNO for the economic
disaster…
As DAP is in cahoot with PAP (Singapore)..
Thus the reason why Singapore are better economically
because DAP is sabotaging the malaysia economy
DAP dream is to
unify Malaysia and SIngapore under a communist China state…
Apa kahabar Tun dan keluarga semua, semoga sihat-sihat belaka.
Meritokrasi amat baik jika semua rakyat bersetuju. Tetapi apa yang dikhuatirkan ialah apabila kaedah perlaksanaannya cuba dieksploitasikan, maka akan menimbulkan perasaan tidak puas hati.
Akhirnya nanti akan tersemai perasaan marah dan benci yang menyemarakkan lagi perasaan perkauman di Malaysia. Di Amerika isu ini menjadi isu panas yang tidak berkesudahan antara kulit puteh dan berwarna.
Sistem meritokrasi sangat-sangat diinginkan oleh pihak tertentu itu dikhuatiri akan mengujudkan konflik kumulatif. Lama kelamaan perasaan terpendam itu akan meletup (seperti berlakunya peristiwa 13 Mei). Sistem meritokrasi yang sihat jika dilaksanakan dengan baik boleh membawa manfaat kepada bangsa Malaysia.
Jurang perbezaan yang ketara; boleh mengundang perasaan tidak puas hati yang tidak berkesudahan, terutama jika melibatkan perbezaan antara kaum. Perkauman memang ada di mana-mana di dunia ini. Negara seperti China, Amerika, Australia, Canada, Eropah dan beberapa Negara lain; tidak terkecuali daripada isu ini.
Sistem meritokrasi ada pro dan kontranya, iaitu dari segi kebaikan dan keburukannya. Jika ditinjau dari segi kebaikan, boleh mendedahkan rakyat Malaysia (khususnya orang Melayu dan bumiputra) kearah persaingan yang sihat.
Tetapi keburukanya tetap ada, dimana yang lemah akan terus lemah dan hanya yang kuat dan berupaya sahaja akan melonjak keatas. Ibarat ENAU dalam belukar melepaskan pucuk masing-masing.
Dalam beberapa kes, terdapat kejadian sabotaj terhadap bumiputra berlakukan oleh pihak Ultra Meritokrasi kerana sifat kebencian sedia ada pada kaum Ultra Kiasu ini terhadap kaum bumiputera.
Contohnya, bekalan bahan binaan sukar diperolehi dan harga yang berbeza dikenakan kepada kontraktor bumiputera. Oleh itu apakah jaminan; meritokrasi akan memberi keadilan kepada semua rakyat Malaysia.?
Other than that, meritocracy should cover all aspects, including willing to sacrifice their lives in defending this country. But very sad to say, a large numbers who joined the military, involves only one major race. Other communities (who fear of death) are not committed to participate (except some) are willing to sacrifice their life and heart to defend this country.
Therefore, what does it mean by meritocracy; if only for the purpose of reaping wealth and accumulate assets, solely for the profit of their ethnic group. But when there
Assalamualaikum Tun dan semua pembaca..
saya ingin membicara sepatah dua kata. saya banyak berbincang dengan non bumi dan mereka sangat tidak bersetuju dan membantah dalam dasar Tun. Macam Namewee mengatakan tentang pendidikan, mereka sekolah cina susah mendapat tempat dalam gov University tapi mereka telah terlupa yang sekolah cina asalnya ditubuh kan oleh nenek moyang mereka bukan dari kerajaan. kesilapan nenek moyang mereka ialah mereka hanya buat sekolah tapi tidak buat university. so jangan salah kan Gov.
Tun,
saya rasa satu kesilapan dasar Tun adalah membantu bumiputera hanya untuk end product bukan as a supplier. jikalau bumiputera control supplier kita akan control harga so kita akan control ekonomi. sekarang mereka control, untuk bumiputera harga lain dan mereka harga lain.
mengenai perkerjaan non bumi kalau sektor kilang ada stpm boleh jadi pengurus tapi kalau bumi jangan haraplah. sektor swasta sangat lah mencabar cuma menteri tak tahu atau buat buat tak tahu.
maaf lah bahasa malaysia teruk sikit.. saya tengah cuba menulis dalam bahasa malaysia balik. dah lama tak menulis bahasa rasmi malaysia sebab sektor swasta tak guna bahasa rasmi.
Assalamualaikum,
Saya nih mmg nak kata malas membaca, tapi td tgk kat channel history pasal TUN, I’m admire u most! td baru baca no. 18, then tringat mungkin sbb skrg nih Ada seseorg nyer TAGLINE, so everyone’s seem to realise that me is me, n u is u. Takkan laa kat sek cina pun kena org melayu baca perutusan merdeka, i mean mesti tapi benda2 lain, tak der pun nak bg dwibahasa even keyword. masa perhimpunan pagi isnin, melopong jer laa.. inisiatif sendri nak paham. so racist!!! benci. Suatu masa dlu saya lalui bila ditempatkan di sek cina, on the sport PPD suruh pindah ke SK bila ada bangsa tuh yg tak puas hati dgn penempatan org melayu kat sek dia. tapi sekarang??? jadi deaf puppet..
Tun,
Izinkan saya menjawap tulisan Alex pada 3 September 3, 2010 9:51 AM.
Sdr Alex, saya rasa tulisan anda telah tersasar daripada apa yang dimaksudkan Tun dalam tulisan beliau.
Seperti lumrah, tulisan saudara adalah tipikal seperti mana tulisan-tulisan orang lama sebelum anda yang rasis dan anti-Melayu yang selalu kita baca dalam buku-buku sebelum ini.
Perkataan-perkataan seperti bangsa Melayu pemalas, suka tidur, bodoh dan sebagainya adalah lazim digunakan oleh kaum anda yang tidak senang melihat bangsa Melayu lebih maju daripada anda.
Saya tidak menafikan ada segelintir daripada bangsa Melayu yang pemalas tetapi sama juga seperti kaum Cina dan kaum-kaum lain juga mempunyai golongan pemalas.
Untuk pengetahuan sdr, kedua-dua arwah ibu bapa saya bangsa Melayu, bangun awal pagi (kedua-duanya tidak banyak tidur) berniaga secara kecil-kecilan untuk menyara anak-anak mereka termasuk diri saya sendiri.
Mereka juga tidak pernah mengharapkan sebarang bantuan kerajaan semasa berniaga seperti tuduhan saudara kepada semua bangsa Melayu.
Malang sekali disebabkan kekurangan kemudahan kerana kerajaan ketika itu lebih suka orang Melayu duduk di kampung dan percaya cuma kaum Cina boleh berniaga, perniagaan mereka tidak dapat berkembang sekadar hanya dapat menyara kehidupan mereka anak beranak.
Bagaimanapun, mereka tidak pernah merungut kepada kerajaan mahupun marah kepada kaum lain walaupun menghadapi banyak rintangan terutama dalam mendapatkan kerjasama daripada kaum lain dalam perniagaan.
Saya percaya lebih ramai lagi bangsa Melayu yang senasib dengan kedua-dua ibu bapa saya.
Jadi, soal orang Melayu pemalas tidak timbul sama sekali, cuma masyarakat Melayu ketinggalan daripada kaum pendatang lain dalam perniagaan sebab kerajaan British ketika itu meminggirkan mereka.
Seperti biasa orang seperti anda akan memuji Lee Kuan Yew dan Singapura kerana anda tahu republik itu meminggirkan bangsa minoriti terutama bangsa Melayu dengan berselindung disebalik dasar meritokrasi.
Umum tahu bahawa bangsa Melayu di Singapura termasuk di negara ini sukar untuk bersaing dengan kaum lain kerana ketinggalan dari segi modal, prasarana dan kemudahan perniagaan lain sejak dari zaman pemerintahan British.
Melayu di Singapura ditindas dengan pelbagai cara secara halus termasuk untuk memiliki rumah (kecuali di rumah pangsa oleh pihak berkuasa republik itu) oleh kaum yang lebih mewah daripada mereka.
Di negara ini, jika tiada kuota untuk memiliki rumah bagi bumiputera, pelbagai cara akan digunakan termasuk kononnya tiada permintaan daripada bumiputera untuk memiliki rumah.
Perkara pokoknya, saudara Alex, kuota untuk bumiputera di negara ini sebenarnya tidak sedikitpun menjejaskan peluang untuk kaum lain berjaya di negara ini.
Perkara ini dapat dibuktikan dengan fakta tentang jumlah jutawan Cina dan kaum lain di negara ini.
Malangnya, sifat iri hati dan kurang prihatin terhadap nasib bumiputera di negara ini telah dijadikan alasan oleh kaum lain termasuk oleh kaum Cina yang gagal dalam kehidupan mereka untuk menidakkan hak bumiputera di negara mereka sendiri.
Saya berani mengatakan kepada anda, jika bangsa Melayu diberikan peluang untuk bersaing dengan kaum lain, mereka sedia membuktikan kepada anda kaum mana yang paling penipu, perasuah dan pemalas di negara ini.
Salam Tun.

Yang berbahagia Tun Dr. Mahathir
Yang dihormati Para Blogger
dan Yang arif Adikku Wajaperak,
Terimakasih kerana menjawab soalan abangmu tempoh hari berkenaan adab bermaafan di kalangan Muslimin Musliman di negara lain. Abangmu sangat puas hati dengan jawapanmu. Terimakasih sekali lagi. Semoga Allah meluaskan lagi ilmu yang ada dalam dirimu.
quoting wajaperak:
The real bermaafan in Islam is simple too from the view and perspective of sufi,tasawwuf and mukasyafah….
Kembali ke asalnya iaitu fitrah..
Bagaimana pula dengan adap “halalkan makan dan minum”, wahai adikku wajaperak? Macam mana orang-orang Arab melafasnya?
Tentulah dalam adap orang-orang bukan Islam tak ada, maka dalam bahasa Inggeris tak ada persamaan. Ya/tak? Bagi mereka semua halal.
Hal-hal remeh seperti ini yang menyentuh persaan saya, sebagai orang Islam dan saya amat menghargainya. Alhamdullilah, saya di jadikan orang Islam.
Wassalam….
Semoga Allah menerima Ibadat Puasa kita semua.
Wassalam.
I am more attracted to the comment from the participants rather than what was written by Tun.
The comments can generally be divided into 2 groups – the supporter of NEP and the non supporter of it. This two groups also represent the supporter of meritocracy and the antagonist. And naturally these are the Malay and the non Malay.
Those are healthy comments but I hope of more diplomacy in the language. But who cares – just use whatever language deemed necessary.
These debate is part of political evolution and is already being accepted as part of life. Scientifically, it is called ecology evolution. All these debate will naturally lead to an equilibrium which only time can tell. There will be no clear winner. No Malay will win all and no Chinese or Indian will win all as well.
These so call infighting will never end.
What we hope is, it shall not lead to catastrophe. Then all will lose. If we lose, our neighbour will be happy …
Let’s ponder about the story of a rich family in Malaya. As long as the family is rich, they can withstand the infighting among the family members. However during financial crisis in 90’s, the family business collapsed. All the siblings were left with nothing , they have to sell off all their properties and land. Today none of them do well. However they are happily being employed by foreign multinational company…. and they do not fight among themselves anymore. They have gathering and huge family reunion. May be — they like to be colonised…
Let’s have a laugh together…..

Someone e-mail this article to me.
How Come Asking Someone To Go Home Is A Racist Remark?
By Angelia Sinyang
The non-Malays went berserk when they heard how the Principal in Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra, Kulai, Johor insulted their children, by asking the Chinese to go back to China and the Indians of wearing dog-chains.
Dear Mr Andrewtay, Please read it through maybe it will enlighten your heart & mind on real issue. Being kiasu maybe good to you only if you live in the jungle. Period.

DAP mahu kerajaan persekutuan menamakan Terminal Penerbangan Tambang Murah yang baru dinamakan sebagai Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Tunku Abdul Rahman (TARIA).

comment:
We should maintain as Kuala Lumpur International Airport. We should give international exposure to our city rather than giving exposure to our dead leader. No economic value!!
Yang dah mati adalah tinggal hanya urusan dia dengan Allah sahaja!!
Dear Andrewtay,
Watch your words my friend, do not get it on with your retarded stereotypes.
There are Malay in your opposition, as well as the BN, so do me a favor, if you wanted to attack checker, do so, do not involve the rest of us with it.
Want me to start stereotyping as well? Whose syndicate that killed off the fisherman by buying low, and sell at higher prices?
Who killed of Malay traders by restricting their entrance into the market?
Who are the biggest illegal VCD sellers in Malaysia? Ah Long?
There you go, like I said, don’t stereotyped the whole kind as being the same. Who is RPK? Indian?
And yeah, I am a malay, and I dont drink, so? and I dont smoke, no gamble, and so on.
There are many Chinese who never did the as what you describe.
For your information, not every of the Malay fear meritocracy, and not every Chinese is as racist as some of your kind as well.
Funnily enough Tun removed quota just a year when I was about to enter University, and because of that I had to compete with the rest just to get inside.
and no MARA, no JPA, I wonder what I am doing defending the NEP?
Kinda disappointed, at first you sounded rational.
Although there are some truth to what you said about those Malay, you only display what you know based upon your observation on ‘some’ Malay that is around you.
Dear Tun,
To be honest, merely having a good system is not enough, whether the people in a particular community or country is truly God fearing and have high moral standards matters; they dare not cheat the people when they bid for projects, build building and houses.
Thus, a when major disaster strikes, miracle happens.
Tun,
Kenapa orang melayu begitu mundur sehingga tak erti menggunakan otak berfikir walaupun sudah 40 tahun dasar DEB diperkenalkan di negara sendiri dengan sokongan penuh kerajaan tetapi tetap gagal. Kenapa nak dengki apabila kaum bukan bumiputra berjaya, tidak ker melayu faham bahawa apa jua hasil dari perniagaan kaum bukan bumiputra akan digunakan dengan cara cukup berhati-hati ? Sebahagian besarnya akan digunakan balik untuk mengembangkan perniagaan mereka, ini bermaksud mereka terpaksa berkorban untuk masa kini dalam bidang yang tidak penting seperti beli kereta baru atau yang lebih besar atau kahwin empat.
Yang ini bukan berkorban untuk satu atau dua tahun, ada yang terpaksa ambil masa sehingg a10 tahun sehingga perniagaan mereka betul-betul dapat pulangan yang berlebihan baru lah kaum bukan bumiputra akan memikirkan tentang keselesaan sedikit. Mereka akan menggunakan lebihan pulangan dari hasil perniagaan mereka untuk beli seperti kereta atau rumah dan lain-lain. Tidak seperti kaum bumiputra selepas dapat pinjaman 100 % daripada kerajaan, perkara pertama ialah beli kereta baru, ubahsuai rumah atau kahwin baru.
Adaker mereka faham sekarang ???? Jangan dok asyik kata orang lain tamak lah, tak berhutang budi lah atau tak tahu berterimakasih lah dan macam-macam lagi sedangkan sikap orang melayu sendiri lah yang menjadikan mereka mundur.
Kerajaan BN pulang menambahkan lagi kekeruhan economi melayu dengan menipu melayu dalam menlaksanakan dasar tersebut, yang kaya lagi kaya sebab orang yang sama tetap dapat kan contract kerana ada hubungan talian politik manakala yang miskin tetap miskin. Sampai bila pun 30 % saham bumiputra tak akan capai.
Saya ada ramai kawan melayu, apabila nampak mereka bertukar ganti kereta baru didapati bahawa semuanya adalah 95 % pinjaman. Apabila tiba masa nak jual, tak ada baki langsung untuk dapat balik tetapi kena bayar balik tambahan kepada bank kalau tidak kereta itu tak dapat jual kerana bayaran ansuran bulanan tak dapat ” cover ” kejatuhan harga kereta tersubut.
Kalau tak mampu beli kereta besar janganlah terikut-ikut dengan orang lain, pakai lah baju ikut potongan badan.
Renungan seketika orang melayu untuk kebaikan bangsa anda semua.
Rakyat yang sayakan negara Malaysia.
Dear Tun and fellow Malay readers,
It is interesting to read comments on your blogsite in response to your article on
Salam Tun & fellow Chedet’s bloggers,
Wooooh!!! I finally managed to touch somebody’s sensitive button. Yes you Mr Andrewtay ( Sept 2 )… going berserk. Why attack me on personal basis when I just quote the statement by somebody else with initial SAI. Yes! maybe because I am a Malay. But SAI can be anybody and he/she can also be a Chinese. So why barking at me. Who really cares about the accuracy of your perepective of high school. It is only a perspective of someone, that’s all.
How about this perception of:
1. The Malays: when alone….he sleeps, when they are 2, start to gossip and when more than 2.. BERPESTA
2. The Chinese: when alone …. very hard working, when they are 2, they start to gamble …and when they are more than 2, they form TRIAD
3. The Indians: when alone … drink toddy, when they are 2, they form trade unions and when they are more than 2, they start to STRIKE
4. The Mat Salleh: when alone they read book …. when they are 2, they start to have discussion on many issues and when they are more than 2, they start to discuss seriously how to conquer the world.
To me, I take it as a joke to laugh at but to think again about it, there are “some” truths in it, isn’t it? Nothing to be upset about. OK?
Many has labelled Malays as lazy and stupid. Do you really believe it is true? but that’s what we have been labelled as and many people believe so but is it really true?
Come onlahhh … Andrewtay let us discuss the issue in a more academic and rational way. Please to hear your sincere comments on the folowings:
1. I want you to describe to me/us all, how you would percieve / describe a person called “Malaysian” is.
2. For UNITY sake, why shouldn’t we have a single school system now? [ I really waiting to hear from Chinese on this issue ]I and perhaps more believe, 1Malaysia is only a dream. I am angry now for not able to learn Chinese or Tamil for that matter, in my primary school days. But it is not too late now to start. We can succeed if we have the commitment and the political wills. Why not we emulate the European for finally after a long years of discussion, I EUROPE has been realised. Why not focus on how they managed to achieve that.
Then we can talk about other things when we have a UNITED MALAYSIAN.
” Oh yea, can we claim another equal right please? Can the non-malays get married with 4 wives too without the need to cut away our foreskin? Pretty pleaseeeee with icing on top? i think if we all womanise, we can build a stonger malaysia. Yes we can!”
HEY ANDREW GO AHEAD WITH IT IF YOU WANT TO, WHO CARES BUT DON’T DRAG AND TALK ON SOMETHING YOU DON’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT.
I don’t know how old you are but I’ve been the product of May 13, OK? I was at Petaling Street at that time when it started and I had seen all and hope that you would not see it. As you see, by Allah’s grace & His protection I survived and sincerely I do not want the repeat of 13 May. I’ve been living and brought up in a kampong in Melaka and we’ve living happily with Chinese neighbours. Why stop there?
3. Can you explain why the Chinese can ( had been )likely to win election in Malay majority area whereas the vice-versa is not true?
4. How do you explain why most Chinese are reluctant to patronise Malay run-shops but not vice-versa?
5. Why after more than 50 years of “independence” many Chinese are still not able to converse in Bahasa? I’m not talking fluency. What a shame!
6. Why many Chinese especilly in the corporate world engage conversation in Chinese with other Chinese when there are Malay colleague is around? Is that we call respect?
Please, I always give credit when and to whom it is due. I don’t care who is talking but I am more interested to know what are being spoken. Frankly speaking, I do not like “politics” but we have to learn to live with it and I prefer to choose the better of the 2 evils, government or the opposition. I want to see and live in a UNITED MALAYSIAN nation with peace and harmony. Our diversity is unique in the world and should be seen as a strength that we should be proud of. Develop, Preserve & Protect it at all cost.
So finally, my dear friend name Andrewtay … be grateful for what we have, endure the difficulties with great patience, apologise when you are wrong and forgive those who’ve done wrong upon you. Then you will have peace in your mind/life.
Therefore, forgive me if my words had offended you which I have no intention to.
I can be reached at [email protected] if you wish to exchange constructive views for the betterment of our future generation.
Assalamualaikum Tun,
Tun ialah seorang negarawan yang amat saya hormati dan kagumi.
Tapi setiap manusia ada juga salah dan silapnya.
1) Tun sejak dari dulu suka memerli orang Melayu secara terang-terangan. Kita bukan lagi menggunakan tulisan jawi (lainlah seperti kaum cina, mereka ada tulisan cina yang kita tak faham, hari hari depa dok kutuk kita pun kita tak tahu). Bila Tun sendiri suka memerli kaum Melayu Mudah Lupa, Melayu Malas, Melayu Lemah. Ini secara separa sedar nya akan memberi mesej kepada kaum lain supaya mereka boleh dan akan beranggapan bahawa memang kaum melayu kita ini teruk.
2) Tun pilih orang seperti DSAI dan TAB menjadi Timbalan Perdana Menteri dan Perdana Menteri. Habis hancur Malaysia ni dikerjakan mereka. TAB senang senang aje bagi tanah kat negara lain. Dia ingat Malaysia ni dia punya ke. Dia hanyalah ‘guardian’ sahaja. Setiap inci tanah Malaysia ni hak milik setiap rakyat Malaysia. Ini tidak, tahu tahu dah bagi senyap senyap aje pulak tu kepada negara lain. DSAI tak payah cakaplah, sekeluarga dia pengkhianat negara, bangsa dan agama.
3) Yang paling saya sesalkan sekali ialah di masa sewaktu pemerintahan Tun pada tahun 1990an, Tun telah menyebabkan hilangnya kekebalan kuasa Agong dan Raja Raja Melayu. Sedangkan itulah satu satunya benteng terakhir kedaulatan Melayu di Tanah Melayu ini. Sekarang ni, jika ditakdirkan oleh Allah, PKR-DAP-PAS dapat menawan Parlimen , dan dengan busuk hati mereka menggubah perlembagaan, atau merosakkan undang undang.. senang senang selepas 30 hari Agong tak lulus kan pun, ia tetap akan menjadi undang-undang. Maka sekarang, kalau nak kita heboh hebohkan isu DEB ni pun ibarat telur di hujung tanduk, kerana Tun dah robohkan kubu pertahanan terakhir hampir 19 tahun lalu.
Ya, saya faham, Tun risaukan kuasa veto Sultan ibarat mengulangi semula tragedi keruntuhan Kerajaan Melayu Melaka, tapi Tun, “power corrupts whom so ever that beholds it”. Sekarang kuasa Perdana Menteri sendiri yang sedang dan telah menjahanamkan Malaysia. Anak -anak raja Melayu sekarang (tak semua) tidak seperti anak anak raja Melayu abad ke-18 dulu yang suka menjemput campur tangan kuasa asing, DSAI sendiri sekarang pun suka sangat ajak campur tangan kuasa asing. Sekarang kebanyakan Sultan dan Raja Muda yang bijak bijak,seperti DYMM Raja Nazrin. Tapi apa boleh buat, masa itu terjadi saya masih darjah 3, tak paham lagi konsep “cause-and-effect” , dah besar baru sedar dan mengerti akan kesan tindakan yang Tun dah buat itu.
Sekarang malam tak tidur lena dibuatnya. Risau sekiranya terjadi seperti di Palestine atau Bosnia. Bilalah orang nak sedar akibat dan natijahnya jika tersalah memilih pemimpin.
Sebagai seorang Melayu Islam, saya mahukan sebuah negara di mana saya bebas untuk melakukan ibadat sebagai Muslim Merdeka, bebas pergi ke kerja tanpa ada serangan bom atau risau disembelih atau ditembak, saya mahu bebas ke tempat-tempat perniagaan tanpa risau ditindas. Susah sangat ke kerajaan nak jaminkan itu semua? Sekiranya ini terjamin, sebagai seorang Melayu Islam, memang amat-amat berterima kasihlah saya kepada kerajaan dan akan bertambah-tambahlah taat setia saya kepada kerajaan dan negara. Saya merayulah kepada Perdana Menteri sekarang, janganlah sibuk nak menjaga hati orang-orang yang tak pernah tahu mengenang budi. Bosan dan muak dan menyampah betul saya bila kaum yang tak mengenang budi itu ditatang bagai minyak yang penuh. Nanti yand dikejar tak dapat, yang dikendong berciciran.
Marilah kita umat Islam Malaysia berdoa semoga kita semua di dalam rahmat Allah selalu.Insya Allah.Amin.
Selamat mengerjakan ibadah bulan Ramadhan kepada Tun berdua.
Whatever it is, you are still the best statesman ever, the best Tun in Malay History (600 years after Tun Perak that is)
Assalammualaikum.

Students pursuing medical degree at UNIMAS Sarawak comes with almost 50% chinese, 5% indians and the remaining 45% bumis which consist of malays, kadazans ibans melanaus etc. This is mentioned by my daughter doing her final year in 2009 at UNIMAS and at present doing her housemanship. My question is how does the 60% quotas so called for bumis comes about?.Pure hard work in achieving 4 flat to gain a place for the medical degree and you get spiteful disgusting remarks from fellow MALAYSIAN MALAYSIA not all but many in due of the said quotas and haunting our daily life.Yes we do need an audit.Merely we are 60%of the country`s population. ”
Please look at facts in a broader perspective!
You are only looking at certain local Uni for medical courses, what about UITM’s ? 99% Malay! what about comparing to UM ( Malaysia top Uni )? Check your statistics, please. Also, you did say your daughter achieved 4 flat? I bet it must be matriculation. Ask her to try STPM and see if she can get the same result.
By the way, you forgot the fact that all the creams among Malays ( ask the gov to release the number of these students ) are already overseas doing their medicine course fully funded !!!
Sebenarnya Orang Melayu bukan saja mesti
diberi keutamaan,
perlu diberi penghormatan,
perlu diberi perhatian,
perlu dibelai,disayang
Malah Orang Melayu perlu diberi
Penampar ! Perlu kasi Penampar 10ringgit,
kiri 5ringgit,kanan 5ringgit
Baharu mereka tahu istilah
Respect have to be Earn.
One can never demand respect.
Selamat Saya ada 6 sudu darah mamak
4 sudu darah melayu.
Saya dapat 4 ringgit saja.
Salam,
From Islam perspective, there’s never been any absolute meritocracy…
Dalam sebuah negara Islam, org kafir zimmi ( yg tidak mau bermusuhan dengan Org Islam ) mesti membayar jizyah (cukai kepala) jika mau hidup di dalam negara tersebut.
Walaubagaimanapun, keuntungan dari cukai kepala itu bukanlah diutamakan. yang penting adalah hidup bersama dan kita menunjukkan akhlak yang mulia,berbaik2, tunjukkan kasih sayang sesama Islam, tunjukkan perpaduan Islam (org lelaki Islam semua datang solat berjemaah 5 waktu…Tuan2 tak rasa hebat seolah2 solat Jumaat setiap waktu. Org kafir mesti gerun punya….
Peniaga Islam tidak menipu, tidak ambil keuntungan berlebihan.
Inilah yang dibuat oleh Sahabat2 Nabi saw semasa mereka sampai ke China hingga hari ada hampir 100 juta umat Islam di China.Orang China disana telah ditindas sesama mereka sehingga mereka nampak kebaikan org Islam.
Dunia ini bukan untuk direbutkan. mafhum sabda Nabi saw ” Kalau dunia ini mempunyai nilai di sisi Allah swt hatta sebelah kepak nyamuk pun, nescaya Allah swt tidak akan memberi minum walau setitik air pun kepada org yang tak beriman”.
Tuan2 tak kesian ke kalau mereka mati sekarang kemana tempat mereka. Mereka akan terus ke Neraka Jahannam kerana syarat utama masuk syurga adalah beriman kepada Allah swt. sebaik mana pun mereka kat dunia hatta mereka bagi makan kepada semua orang Malaysia pun Allah swt tak pandang kerana syarat pertama mesti percaya kepada Allah swt dahulu.
Sebauk sahaja mereka masuk Islam, mereka dapat hak2 sama seperti org Islam lain. China, India atau apa bangsa pun dah jadi soal kedua dah…
Bacalah sirah/sejarah perjuangan nabi saw. Bermula dari Hijrah hingga ke pembukaan kota mekah sehingga saat wafatnya. Jangan lihat ia dari segi sejarah kerana ianya masih digunapakai sebagai panduan kita menghadapi masaalah kehidupan sekarang sampai hari Kiamat kelak.
Wallahua’lam
Alex,
Siapa kata Bumiputra tidak ada usaha lagi untuk majukan diri? Ini adalah sangkaan yang amat prejudis terhadap kaum Bumiputera. Satu bentuk kenyataan umum yang tidak tepat. Ramai kaum Bumiputera yang gigih dan berbakat besar. Tetapi mereka ini seringkali didiskriminasi. Jika bekerja dengan syarikat milik bangsa asing, mereka dibayar gaji yang rendah. Peluang kenaikan pangkat payah sekali.
Jika ingin berniaga, bidang-bidang tertentu dikuasai oleh bangsa-bangsa tertentu sahaja. Ada Bumiputra yang mencuba nasib, tetapi ramai juga yang gagal. Bukan mereka tidak berdaya maju, tetapi kekangan struktural yang menghalang mereka daripada maju. Dalam bidang-bidang yang tiada banyak kekangan monopoli bangsa asing mereka boleh maju.
Ramai profesional Melayu yang pandai. Rakan saya misalnya seorang peguam yang gigih. Beliau petah berhujjah dan seringkali menang kes dengan mengalahkan peguam bangsa asing. Malah prestasi beliau lebih baik berbanding rakan peguam berbanga asing dalam firma guamannya.
Malangnya beliau bekerja dengan firma guaman yang dimiliki oleh bangsa asing. Beliau dibayar gaji yang rendah berbanding rakan peguam bangsa asing yang prestasinya ala kadar sahaja. Bila ada peluang untuk menjadi rakan kongsi, rakan peguam bangsa asing itu yang dapat.
Akhirnya beliau terpaksa berhenti dan membuka firma guamannya sendiri. Satu masalah yang dihadapi ialah banyak syarikat-syarikat milik bangsa asing yang pilih bulu. Bank-bank milik bangsa asing misalnya tidak memberi peluang kepada firma Melayu untuk mendapatkan kes.
Akhirnya firma Melayu terpaksa bergantung kepada institusi-institusi kerajaan untuk hidup. Tetapi mereka dituduh tidak berdaya saing dan terlalu bergantung kepada “pertolongan” kerajaan pula. Kononnya mereka tidak ada merit. Merit apa ke bendanya? Mereka ini pandai-pandai belaka tetapi syarikat-syarikat milik bangsa asing mendiskriminasi mereka.
Ramai profesional berbangsa asing yang malas dan tidak jujur. Tetapi mereka boleh survive kerana adanya diskriminasi yang memihak kepada mereka.
Apabila Tun mempersoalkan meritokrasi, saya nampak banyak kebenarannya. Meritokrasi yang dilaung oleh bangsa asing di negara ini adalah meritokrasi palsu, bukan meritokrasi sebenar. Jika meritokrasi sebenar, rakan saya itu dah lama menjadi rakan kongsi dalam firma guaman milik bangsa asing itu tadi. Tapi itu tak jadi kenyataan. Kenapa? Kerana bangsa Melayu didiskriminasi.
Alex, bukalah mata sikit …
Tun,
If you were to compare us to Singapore, we had so much more resources, human capital, land,etc. But 4 decades of race-based policies which was supposed to bridge the divide between the poorer bumis and the more sophisticated non-bumis (mainly the Chinese) have backfired.
It has bred corruption, cronyism, and a crutch mentality that has retarded the progress of the Bumis who are supposed to have caught up in these 4 decades (since May 13). This has in turn retarded the progress of the country with the rest of the more capable ones either being held back by this policy or have migrated for greener pastures.
Corruption and cronyism—Supposed NEP that is to uplift the majority of the Bumis have benefited only a few cronies and politicians (Bumi and Non bumi) at the expense of many. Only those who are UMNO linked have benefited from this gravy train. Look at the non urban Malays, the aborigines here and in East Malaysia, they form the majority of the Bumis and yet they are left behind.
Tun argued that despite only a few Bumis have benefited from the NEP, they should be seen as the
I think the some of the concerns with having this meritocracy policy is that bumis will lose out more if this policy is implemented. That is just looking at 1 side of the coin. Short term, i think everyone will agree that bumis will probably struggle a little bit. But on a long term basis, i think it will have a profound effect on them as it should drive them to improve & exceed their non bumi counterparts. Nothing comes easy in life, you want to be the best you need to put in the effort, time & sweat to achieve it. Despite what the gov is doing, nothing in life is free. Even though the bumis have been receiving assistance from gov but it came at a price. They now cannot & do not know how to live without the “crutches”. I would not term all bumis as weak because some of the best ppl i have worked with happen to be bumis. These are modern, well educated, progressive individuals whom i feel would hold their own without the “crutches” in the corporate world, albeit only a handful. If these handful can do it, there is no reason why the rest cannot unless they do not want to. At the end of the day, everyone wants the country to progress but i suspect some are just too eager to hold on to the comfort level they are in, to push the limits.
Dear Tun,
I had a Malay teacher she was soo dedicated.. She would buy presents out of her own pocket and gave to pupils who could score full marks in “ejaan”. Oh dear we loved her so much. It was in the 1980s. She had since migrated to the US with her husband. May God bless her. Till now I still can’t forget her. I think she was one of the best teachers and deserved the best rewards.
Meritocracy is not about race. Is about finding the best to SERVE the country.
To those who oppose to meritocracy: you don’t want the rooftop of the place (schools, stadiums) that your children are sitting in, collapse. do you? Who says “meritocracy = only benefit the chinese”? Look at the Sichuan earthquakes and schools collapse, they had a corrupt system and who was the hardest hit? How about Haiti? A good system that can find and retain the best “servants”, matters.
From what I know, Singapore was once hit by a blackout, only once that I knew of, in a decade. And even so, that was due to a problem in the Indon’s Natuna. Manufactures (especially those from the semicon industries) flocked in. You see the chain effects. The benefit of a good system multiplies and contributes to its GDP. As a matter of fact, those people working in their power station may be Indians, Malays, Chinese, or even foreigners.
Salam kasih dan salam hormat Ayahanda Tun. Perhaps a small space for some seasons’ greetings and maybe some warm reflections. – Thanks.

Tun,
Kalau ” Meritocracy ” bukan lagi yang terbaik bagi Negara Malaysia, apa lagi yang Tun fikirkan yang terbaik bagi negara kita ????? Cuma Tun bayangkan kalau sejak seorang bayi dilahirkan, ibubapanya senantiasa mempaparkan dia ketika berjalan sehingga beliau besar. Ada ker budak pun tahu berjalan ????
Perkataan ” menolong ” itu sebanarnya bermaksud manusia itu sendiri kena berusaha sendiri contohnya kalau beliau sedang nak angkat sesuatu benda yang berat tetapi kekuatannya tak cukup kuat maka baru lah kawan-kawan atau sesiapa disekilingnya datang menolong. Itu lah yang dikatakan ” menolong “, bukan dengan hanya duduk tak mahu mencuba apa-apa tetapi meminta orang lain datang buat bagi dia bulat-bulat.
Ini lah yang berlaku kepada kaum bumiputra hari ini, tidak ada usaha lagi untuk majukan diri, buat apa nak majukan diri sedang semua kemudahan sudah siap sedia di depan pintu mereka. Kalau lah kemudaan ini diberikan kepada kaum bukan bumiputra, saya tak dapat bayang kan betapa sudah jauh ke depan negara Malaysia berbanding Singapora, bekas Perdana Menteri Singapora En Lee Kuan Yew sendiri mengatakan demikian.
Saya sendiri pernah bersemuka dengan seorang jurutera TNB bangsa melayu yang mengata bahawa beliau tidak suka berkerja dengan bangsa melayu kerana mereka ada lah pemalas dan tak suka berusaha. Ini adalah kata-kata yang dikeluarkan sendiri oleh bangsa Tun sendiri, beliau cukup marah kerana TNB selalu berlaku ” black out ” di tempat-tempat yang tertentu. Beliau mengatakan bahawa itu bukan kesalahan jurutera kerana pihak jurutera telah menggariskan panduan untuk mereka pergi servis pencawang tetapi oleh kereta pekerja melayu yang dikatakan itu rata-rata adalah pemalas.
Mereka tidak ikut panduan, itu lah yang menyebabkan ” black out ” selalu, lepas itu baru pergi memperbaiki, selalu makan masa dua hingga 3 jam yang memberi gangguan kepada pengguna. Bukan sekali dalam masa 4 tahun tetapai 4 hingga 5 kali dalam setahun, siapa boleh tahan Tun ???
Renungan kan seketika Tun dan kaum bumiputra sendiri demi masa depan Negara Malaysia
Meritrocracy is a polical mechanism for a purpose.
In Singapore it suits them for their purpose as it benefits the Chinese as they are more qualified for the mechanism.
The Govt will change their mechanisam if it does not deliver their purpose and intentions.
The truth is nobody is telling the truth.
It Is like
When you broke up with your women,
You cannot tell them that you are having another women.
Its simple as that.
Likewise when they filters the malay of the positions
they will inform that they have a better person to fill the post,that is the Chinese,eventhough Ahmad are more qualified and experienced.
Facts There are none Malay Malaysian working in Singapore Govt Body
If there is,it is just for a show.
The Chinese will be offered a PR after confirmations,
There will be Indians with Work Permit,no PR offered
There is very little malay with permit,just for showcae.
And this is what they call Meritrocracy (Terpimpin).
Syabas Tun…….
Berani kerana benar. Objektif Tun very straightfoward iaitu mencari jalan terbaik untuk memajukan Malaysia. Saya rasa nak tergelak kalau ada rakan2 cina kita mengatakan bahawa mereka tak sabar2 menunggu zaman meritokrasi sambil mengatakan dirinya tidak tamak. Apakah mereka buta sejarah dan faham benarkah objektif DEB itu sebenarnya? DEB adalah untuk memastikan kek ekonomi negara dapat juga dinikmati oleh orang bumiputra at least 30% sahaja untuk memastikan perasaan tidak puas hati kaum2 yang ketinggalan. DEB tidak totally failed, kerana orang melayu seperti saya berasal dari keluarga kampung yang miskin dapat belajar hingga ke luar negara dan kemudian dapat bekerja dengan koporat melayu hinggalah bergaji sampai lima angka. Dalam masa yang sama, 10 jutawan terkaya di Malaysia dibolot kebanyakannya oleh orang2 bukan bumiputra. Cara rakan2 Cina ni berfikir sedemikian akan menyebabkan saya bertanya apakah maksud yang tersirat? Adakah mereka merasa iri hati apabila kek ekonomi bumiputra bertambah sedikit dengan bantuan DEB dan tidak sabar untuk melihat kembali orang2 bumiputra balik ke zaman sebelum DEB? Apakah mereka mencari peluang terbaik ke arah itu di kala orang melayu bertelagah sesama sendiri di sebabkan mismanagement di dalam UMNO sebagai parti terbesar orang melayu di era Abdullah Badawi? Come on, cara you all berfikir memang berbau ulterior motive. Kalau mereka benar2 setuju dengan DEB mereka mesti mencari jalan2 untuk memastikan orang2 bumiputra yang tidak efficient untuk maju kehadapan seperti yang cuba dilakukan oleh kerajaan bukan cuba bribe orang2 melayu di PKR dan PAS untuk agenda kamu sekelian. Masih ramai orang2 melayu yang masih tidak tidur dan tidak mudah dibeli tetapi masih memikirkan behawa orang2 melayu harus terus berdiri sama tinggi dan memajukan Malaysia bersama2. Pelik pulak, masa zaman Dr. M, tidak pulak ada pun isu2 meritokrasi ni walhal ekonomi Malaysia lebih bergerak ke hadapan…….
Dear Tun And Readers…
Dalam membicarakan bangsa, banyak kekesalan yang menghantui kotak minda ini. Memang melayu mudah lupa, begitu juga dengan kaum-kaum yang lain. Apa yang penting ketika ini ialah negara Malaysia itu sendiri!
Pembangunan ekonomi kita perlu bermula di tempat kita sendiri. Semua orang perlu hidup. Negara ini dibina dari penyatuan semua kaum yang ada. Satu formula baru perlu diberi peluang untuk memastikan kewujudan bangsa Malaysia itu sendiri. Kita perlu ada kaedah kita sendiri untuk kekal mandiri.
Tekanan keatas sesuatu bangsa pastinya menjadi satu cara untuk mengekalkan bangsa itu untuk terus wujud dan berjaya. “Tested and survive” akan pasti menjadikan bangsa itu lebih kuat. Hanya yang terbaik akan terus hidup – “Survival of The Fittest”.
Tanpa kemahiran dan kelebihan serta penyesuaian untuk terus hidup akan menjamin kepupusan seperti mana burung dodu.
Apa yang kita perlukan sekarang ialah satu “vehicle” yang dapat membawa kita semua keluar dari sistem yang memang telah dimonopoli oleh sebahagian kecil umat yang rakus dan menghisap darah seperti mana parasit. Sebagai doktor, saya kira Tun lebih faham tentang konsep ini.
Sesuatu perubahan kepada sesuatu yang baru memang memeritkan. Kadang-kala ia akan dianggap gila kerana keluar dari kebiasaan. Pun begitu, kita perlu bersatu untuk keluar dari kemelut ini dan perlu memastikan kita mempunyai satu sistem yang “Self-sustain” untuk mengurangkan kebergantungan kepada sistem yang lain.
Konsep “intrinsic value” dalam sistem dinar perlu diteruskan dan mencapai matlamatnya. Begitu juga dengan beberapa konsep dan nilai-nilai lain dalam kehidupan harian kita. Kita perlu berani berubah supaya terus kekal hidup dalam arus yang semakin mencabar hari ini – Wallhu’Alam http://kerjaya-muslim.blogspot.com/
Good evening Ayahanda Tun,
Copy-paste from Malaysian Mirror…..
1. ‘Khairy, you’re wrong. Namewee is no racist’ 9
Share
Thursday, 02 September 2010 17:54
2. KUALA LUMPUR – DAP stalwart Lim Kit Siang has asked Umno Youth Chief Khairy Jamaluddin whether he would surrender himself to the police for criminal charges based on the “racist statements” he made before demanding that Namewee be taught a lesson.
3. Lim posed the question in his latest blog posting in response to Khairy’s statement describing controversial rapper Wee Meng Chee (or Namewee) as a racist.
4. “Namewee exposes himself as the racist when he says ‘You tak baca? Siapa buat Malaysia kaya?” and “Namewee’s insinuation that the Chinese are solely responsible for this country’s growth is just as blatantly offensive,” Khairy was quoted as saying in a media report.
5. The DAP veteran also mentioned some previous statements made by Khairy which were deemed to be racist in nature.
6. They included the “uncalled-for-attack on the Indian community” at the Umno general assembly in 2007 and “so-called marginalisation of the Malays in Penang” under Dr Koh Tsu Koon as Penang chief minister.
7. Khairy was wrong
8. Lim claimed that the Umno Youth chief was wrong to say that Namewee was racist based on his personal interpretation of the line “You take baca? Siapa buat Malaysia kaya?”
9. According to the DAP leader, “it is open to various interpretations and not just Khairy’s conclusion that it is an overt insinuation that Malays played a minor role in Malaysia’s economic growth and was therefore racist in nature.”
10. Instead, the quoted line could be interpreted as Malaysians have all contributed to the country’s prosperity and therefore, it is unacceptable to tell Malaysian Chinese to “balik Tongsan.”
11. Lim explained: Firstly, because all Malaysians contributed to the economic development of the country. Secondly, after 53 years of Merdeka, the Malaysian Chinese are 100% Malaysians who have no “Tongsan” to go back to!”
12. Double standard
13. The Chinese rapper first got into trouble with the authorities in 2007 for his “Negarakuku” video clip. He is now under investigation for allegedly producing another seditious video.
14. Lim said the police should explain why Namewee has been investigated when there was nothing seditious in his rap video against the school principals for making racist slurs against students.
15. “This is especially so when the school principals concerned are still scot-free after making seditious statements.”
16. The DAP supremo said his own arrest for sedition, as well as that of DAP chairman Karpal Singh’s, are examples of power abuse and double-standards in the country.
17. ‘Zero-tolerance’ policy
18. Meanwhile, Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin has stressed on the government’s “zero-tolerance” policy towards racism at a press conference in Perdana Putra Thursday.
19. He said that the case of Namewee has been studied and noted that avoiding racial tension in the country is of paramount importance.
20. “That is why if there is someone who wants to voice their opinion in a democratic country, they are bound by laws especially the Sedition Act,” Muhyiddin said.
Komen:
A. Namewee is not fit to be a Tongsan baby nor he is a racist.
B. The line ‘You tak baca? Siapa buat Malaysia kaya?”
C. KJ should ask, ‘Siapa buat Namewee kaya di Malaysia?’
D. The answer might be in the heart of rakyat is “ahli politik cina dap la yang buat Namewee kaya ma dengan personal lawyer name apanama Singh and Namewee pandu BMW”, isn’t it?
E. In Malaysia we have freedom of speech, and since KJ as UMNO Youth has voiced out the majority race (tak payah pakai the word “Malay because we are in 1 Malaysia) are unhappy with the lyrics, KJ now should let “pihak berkuasa KDN” that no DAP policians can interfere to deal with this Namewee who might have politician sponsored, right?
F. KJ you are young, professional, mature and should respect old man like uncle Kit Siang. Don’t wow – ‘words of war’ with him, what he wanna said SO Be It!
————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Ayahanda Tun, YB Rais Yatim, the Minister of Infomation and Culture should look into the current issue of entertainment crisis, a micro-economic activity case which has nothing to do with political party.
The 100% local Mandarin Speaking film, “Ais Kacang Merah – ‘Hung Tou Bing’ directed and produced by Ah Niu (local famous singer cum actor) starring 100% local celebrities, singers and artists, and under our Ministry of Information and Culture current policy, this film was treated as Foreign Film and was charged 20% Import Tax.
The reason given was because the content of the film is 100% Mandarin and Chinese, Malaysia, and to be qualified for import tax free, the film must have 60% Bahasa Melayu and Malay, is it true?
In order 2 encourage more local films to be produced and exported to earn FOREX like Singapore; the Ministry should update such policy by ammending such clause to make it a 100% local film produced by 1 Malaysians regardless of races.
Goodnight Ayahanda Tun.
Asalamualaikum,
Bacalah tulisan ini.
Cuba bayangkan jika Rasulullah s.a.w ditakdirkan Allah masih hidup di zaman ini. Tidakkah kita fikirkan bahawa Utusan dan Umno mungkin juga akan menemplak tindakan Rasulullah s.a.w yang membenarkan orang-orang Kristian Najran masuk ke masjid dan bersembahyang di Masjid Nabi.
Ahli Parlimen DAP Y.B Teo Nie Ching diserang-serang habis-habisan kerana berkunjung ke Surau Al-Huda Kajang untuk menyampaikan bantuan membaiki pagar surau tersebut. Beliau telah dijemput oleh jawatankuasa surau untuk menyampaikan ucapan ringkas. Insiden itu bagaimanapun dieksploitasi media arus perdana dan Umno dengan mendakwa ia satu kesalahan dan mencemar imej Islam.
Kerana seronok memfitnah di bulan Ramadhan , Umno dan Utusan tidak peduli seerah Rasulullah s.a.w dan para sahabat yang berjaya menonjolkan ruh tasamuh ( toleransi ) yang amat tinggi apabila berdepan dengan golongan non muslim . Sebagai satu contoh toleransi yang Rasulullah s.a.w tonjolkan adalah sepertimana kisah yang dinyatakan oleh Ibn Ishak di dalam seerah berkenaaan perjumpaan Baginda dengan golongan Kristian Najran.
Ibnu Ishak meriwayatkan golongan Kristian ini telah bertemu dengan Rasulullah s.a.w di Madinah dan mereka bejumpa Rasulullah s.a.w di Masjid Nabi. Apabila tiba waktu asar golongan Kristian ini bangun ingin menunaikan sembahyang mereka dan ada para sahabat yang cuba menegah mereka. Rasulullah sebaliknya mengatakan

1.Apparently,NEP,Meritocracy & Racism are 3 favourite topics of the day.
2. You can deduce this from the hundreds of views you received in your blog whenever you touched on these 3 matters.
3. Why is that?
4. Well,my deductions are :-
i. There’s dissatisfactions everywhere and they’ll get worst if the present Government is still in denial about Bumi special rights.
ii. The 1Malaysia concept doesn’t make sense.You cannot just shoved down the peoples’throats overnight with it,because from the very beginning(our forefathers’time)assimilation did not exist but only intergration.
iii. Meritocracy is half baked.
iv. The liberal, educated and aristocrat Malays think they have the right to determine the future of the country and tend to sideline the majority poor Malays.
v. When Malays themselves believed in different school of thoughts,we have disunity. When there’s disunity, Malays will be looked down and be trampled on.
vi. Last but not least,the present Malay leaders should show more convictions in their stand for Malay rights.
5. To fastbackward, you once said that the Malays were the first to form a Government in the Malay Peninsular, so shouldn’t they have special rights to the end?
Salam Tun Dr M.
Yes, Malay will be out as majority..
Tak akan Hilang Melayu di Dunia.. Cuma tinggai skit..
Skit.. Skittt jeee…
Thank you for understanding our forth comings..
We are weak.
Macam Company besaq makan Company Kecik.. Tak peduli..
Dia beli majoriti, Raise up paid up.. Habiss…
Macam puak yang bersalah terhadap kekejaman.. (yang manusia buat la..) Yang penting Dunia saja.. dari Akhirat.
Melayu Wajib kembali SEMULA..
Kembali kepada Siratul Mustakim..
Salam Kemerdekaan Tun and Malaysians.. And to my Non- Malay buddies..
Ain’t we Malays Kind hearted.? Ain’t we Great.? Ain’t we all a Special.?
Sharing and Caring.?
Think about that.. Maybe together we can build a better Malaysia by 2020 as Malaysian.. But please don’t bully us anymore in our own ansestor’s land.
Peace All Independence Day..! Wish you well Tun.
Dear Tun Dr M,
Of late, it looks as though that there have been some dissatisfaction, frustration & discontentment amongst Malaysians of all walks of life. Many seem to voice their views, argument, grouses & even their anger mostly in the press, in the web & in gatherings.
It looks as though this situation is at all time high with all sides raising their dissatisfaction and anger openly and loudly. I feel this situation need to be curtailed and eventually stopped as soon as possible before it blows out of proportion.
If referred to each of them, the majority group accuses the minority groups should earn their recognition and status instead of demanding them. The minority groups, on the other hand, seem to have valid reasons to be unhappy with what they are getting and how they are treated in Malaysia. The actual reason why this issue needs to peak now, when the PRU13 is around the corner, is
Alex,
Tanah Melayu , tapi Bumiputera 30% Bukan Bumiputera 70%.(Sangat Adil)
Selepas 40 tahun,apa kata bumiputera 35% dan Bukan Bumiputera 65%.
15 tahun selepas itu,bumiputera 50% and Bukan Bumiputera 50%.
What say you.
Dear Tun,
To amin,
Who said the chinese in malaysia were not grateful? some even died for the country during the jap occupation.
We should know that this world is God’s world, realize that and stop become a racist. The fact that a chinese marries a malay or vice versa can give birth to a human being shows that we share the same ancestor.
I used to study history text book and it said melayu proto and deutro came from china long time ago.. but now, I check with the younger generations they say they never study those materials, clearly the history book has been modified.
How about Cheng Ho? He protected this region from the agression by Siam.. the chinese deserves some grace too. Only when the Ming dynasty (which was a chinese kingdom) was under threat by the nomads from the north, they stopped the sea voyages and see what happended after that, portugese came. belanda came. etc.
well, after the jap, we cannot ask for more anymore. any race doesnt owe any other race for that sake. because, the land had once fallen into the jap’s hand. and all races fought and died for this land, for a better place to live in. Thank God it’s a new beginning since 1945. of course, we should continue respect each other. treat each other as human rather than skin.
By checker on September 2, 2010 3:21 AM
To conclude, I like to refer SAI comment on September 1,
” MY EVERLASTING COMMENT ON THESE 3 RACES ARE, MALAYS ARE DILIGENT AND HARDWORKING BUT ARE TOO GIVING, CHINESE ARE OPPURTUNIST AND CUNNING BUT TOO GREEDY, INDIANS ARE GOOD IN TALKING BUT UNTRUSTWORTHY.
THIS WHOLE TROUBLE STARTS WHEN NO UMNO GUYS HAVE THE GUTS TO BECOME A GOOD POLITICIAN AND ADMINISTRATOR, MCA AND MIC ARE STILL LAZY TO ATTEND THE GRASSROOTS.”
Think about how true the statement is.
Guys i think checker has been hitting the piss early. Woot!
Which part of the passage is inaccurate? Well, the part that says Malays are diligent and hardworking. First of all, diligent connotes hardworking already and none of them are practiced by the Malays.
Its like high school. do you think chinese are naturally smart? im pretty sure we’r hardworking bunch of fags. This is my perspective of highschool.
Chinese dude:
Study = 5 hrs
Playtime = 2 hrs
Smoking, hisap gam, khawat, gambling and minum tiger = 1 hr
Malay dude:
Study: 2 hrs
Playtime: 5 hrs
Smoking, hisap gam, khawat, mat rempit-ing, and minum tiger = 1 1/2 hrs
Chinese result:
Majority in top classes (haha you faggots cant deny that even if you hate it soooo much)
Malay result:
Majority in bottom classes (i know..i feel ya braz)
Moral of the story:
Chinese hardworking and competitive (kiasu if you want to be truthful about it) – Despite all the talk of us being smart, we ain’t.
Oh yea, can we claim another equal right please? Can the non-malays get married with 4 wives too without the need to cut away our foreskin? Pretty pleaseeeee with icing on top? i think if we all womanise, we can build a stonger malaysia. Yes we can!
Asalamualaikum wht.
Dear Tun,
Iam a little confused of the so called 60% quotas for bumiputra scholars of higher learning. Students pursuing medical degree at UNIMAS Sarawak comes with almost 50% chinese, 5% indians and the remaining 45% bumis which consist of malays, kadazans ibans melanaus etc. This is mentioned by my daughter doing her final year in 2009 at UNIMAS and at present doing her housemanship. My question is how does the 60% quotas so called for bumis comes about?.Pure hard work in achieving 4 flat to gain a place for the medical degree and you get spiteful disgusting remarks from fellow MALAYSIAN MALAYSIA not all but many in due of the said quotas and haunting our daily life.Yes we do need an audit.Merely we are 60%of the country`s population.
Buying a house in 1993 with the price for 128k and again the so called discount for bumis came to an agreed terms for 123k. At a bank to discuss my sales and purchase aggrement with the bank officer,a chinese wealthy neighbour was about to leave the desk.As he left, the bank officer a malay of course showed me the sales and purchase aggrement of this wealthy chinese neighbour and the price stated is very the same of mine for 123k. It is no surprise to me because i live within this community and i know the crooks.
The crooks want to be in control of the economy and in control to govern. That`s what malaysian meritocracy is all about…
Tun, I am struggling with this gadget,hopefully it`s published.
It will be very much appreciated if you could publish a copy
of your now and future posting in malay which i belive will
benefit to many more.
SELAMAT BERBUKA PUASA TO YOU AND YOUR BELOVED FAMILY.

China is the only country in the world that built a wall along her border to keep out the “Barbarians” (non-Chinese).
On the one hand in is not alright for others to come into China because they are considered barbarians, but it is alright for Chinese to “invade” and make a living in barbarian countries.
Chinese are like Zionist Jews; they derive pleasure from taking away other people
Dear Malays,
Chinese is provoking malays at their will. I think they are really in dire need for a lesson.
Salam merdeka Tun,
Setuju bahawa dasar DEB perlu diteruskan kerana terlihat sepanjang berjalannya dasar ini semua kaum tidak tamak untuk mengaut keuntungan melampau-lampau terutama orang melayu yang macam segan merebut segala peluang diberi.
Assalamualaikumwarahmatullahiwabarakatu.
Actually the issue regarding race has always been an issue for such a long time.I think, it has never been solved, the thing that we did for the past years was trying to reduce the factors that can create uneasiness between race so that we can live in harmony. And thats about it.
Eventhough we lived in a same country but coming from different background, culture etc really influence our way of thinking. Thus I think it create misscommunication among us.
To solved the race issue, it depends on oneself mostly. but first,I think, we need to put Malaysia in a harmony situation back. We should not get overexcited as this might make us to make a careless decision. This is where the ISA comes in. Eventhough the ISA had some bad records due to violation of power, but in our condition right now, we can see that ISA is still relevent. Less talking, more action.
If you do it for the country, you dont care what others think about you. Tidak kenyang dek puji, tidak mati dek keji.
The uneasiness among races in Malaysia now explained why ISA has been being smashed hardly this past years. It is a linked strategy
In response to the NEP, its quite embarrassing to admit that, yes, bumiputera still need it.The non bumi, is getting tired of giving “free lunch” to the bumi. But the question is, since when non bumi dont prefer the NEP?. From what I’m thinking , since its first existance.
Non bumi just let it pass through because they need to back then. The agreement back then was giving a way for the bumi to involved in economy. However, there is no proper guideline on how to bringing up the Bumi. So it is still a healthy competition between a professional bussinessman with an amatur bussinessman.
When the thing gets tough, the tough gets going. Unfortunetlly, this is not the case for the Bumi. Selling contract and such happen.
Basically, what I’m trying to say is. If we want to blame it on someone, blame it on Malaysians. Its all our fault. Not the NEP, not the Non Bumi, Not the Bumi. Its the Malaysians.
Dont let others politisize us. Dont let people take advantage on our differences. We may have some misscommunication, but we dont let others manipulate us.
Hi Tun,
Need your advice. We have been paying our zakat to the local mosque and the committee decided to use some of the funds to build a small tadika. Many of the local muslim families are home-schoolers and we thought it was a good idea.
Problem is we have a few Muslim families from an African nation and they too want to send their kids to the tadika (they pay their zakat too).
Some of us feel that we should not accept them as we do not want our young children of impressionable age being influenced by these Africans. We understand that they are famous for recruiting young girls as drug mules, and also they may rope in our young boys to operate their scam email schemes.
Some of us feel we should, as they also pay their zakat and we are all Muslims, but perhaps we should set a quota for them in proportion to their population in the community. Unfortunately the final quota worked out to be 2 1/2 kids and they refused to send half a kid and insist on a full kid. We think they are being unreasonable and should return back to their home country or go down the street to the next precinct where there’s a private islamic tadika. Why can’t they go there?
The private tadika charges rm300 per month per kid whereas ours is charging rm50 as we use part of our zakat to pay for the running of the tadika.
We have written to the private tadika to charge our African brothers and sisters a special rate of rm80 per month, but the management of the tadika have not even have the courtesy to reply to us. We think they are racist and are munafik!!
What do you think we should do, Tun?
Assalamualaikum Tun,
Tun, .. tolonglah. Kenapa ramai sangat orang Cina, India dan sekian bukan-Bumiputera yang lain menentang habis-habisan kedudukan orang Melayu dan Bumiputera yang lain?
Serangan bertubi-tubi dilemparkan dengan segala tohmahan buruk tentang orang Melayu (pelbagai video, artikel dan kritik mengenai ‘kuburukan’ sikap dan layanan orang Melayu kini berlegar di laman internet; youtube, facebook, malaysiakini memberikan imej yang sangat buruk tentang orang Melayu)Kenapa ni Tun? Apa yang orang Melayu dan Bumiputera lain sudah lakukan sampai tergamak mereka bertindak sebegini?
Saya anak Melayu berasal dari Kuantan Pahang. Arwah tok dan nenek, arwah ibu, ayah, dan pakcik makcik saya tidak pernah ada masalah dengan rakan bukan-bumiputera mereka, juga sebaliknya. Tapi kenapa saya generasi muda sekarang terpaksa menjadi saksi kepada peperangan kaum sebegini?
Saya tak kisah kalau komen ini tidak dilampirkan dalam ruang ini. Tapi saya ingin sampaikan kerisauan yang teringau-ingau di hati dan fikiran saya dengan gejala yang melanda sekarang.
Saya sedih melihat terutamanya orang Cina, betul-betul marah dan terguris hati dengan imej buruk orang Melayu yang diuar-uarkan kini. Apa betul ke semua ini? Apa tidakkah mereka sedar yang orang Melayu pun sekarang sedang memendam kesedihan dan kehampahan dari segala tohmahan yang dilempar ini?
Saya risau Tun. Saya risau nasib saya sebagai anak Melayu akan hilang begitu saja di muka bumi ini. Saya tak faham kenapa saya anak Melayu, tak boleh berbangga dengan sejarah Tanah Melayu yang suatu ketika dahulu megah. Sebut sedikit saja tentang ‘Tanah Melayu’ atau ‘Melayu’, …. suasana berubah. Seolah-olah ‘Melayu’ ini telah bertukar ganti kata menjadi ‘perkauman’.
Macam mana ni Tun? Saya anak Melayu, orang Melayu, masih bersabar dan akan sentiasa bersabar. Tapi sedih, risau dan dibelenggu. Tolonglah kami Tun, … apa nak buat ni? Kenapa derang marah sangat? Kenapa sukar sungguh untuk mereka mengiktiraf asal-usul orang Melayu?
Ramadhan ini bulan suci, penuh dugaan, penuh bermakna.
Selamat berpuasa Tun, dan selamat menyambut hari lebaran di sisi keluarga tersayang, rakyat jelata, dan negara tercinta.
Harapan saya agar negara kita kekal subur mekar, dan tidak terkubur oleh kerana kesempitan akal dan minda yang melanda kita satu negara. Saya berterima kasih kepada Tun atas segala jasa dan bakti yang Tun curahkan buat kami. Terima kasih Tun. Semoga Allah swt memberkati hidup dan usaha Tun sekeluarga.
Assalamualaikum.
Hi sherylC, you mentioned: “To Tun, I’m sorry but I have to disagree with waiting for the disparities to subside. If you spoil your child too much without letting him taste the harshness of the world, he will never learn and work hard on his own. It’s better to start as early as possible before this fact gets proven with time 100 years down the road.”
Well, I did ask my swimming instructor to let me wear a safety jacket for the first few lessons until I can get a feel of how to swim and he said no way. Maybe Tun should take a lesson from this young swimming instructor of mine. By the way, my swimming instructor is a Malay and he does swim like a fish!
Let’s not keeping saying that the Malays are inferiors. Tun, do you know the principle of positive thinking? If you keep saying that Malays are inferior, they will really become inferior because this is how the subconscious mind works.

1. Do not leave!
2. We need more non-Malays like you to bring back our glory days!
3. Trust me, we cud do it together like how our parents did; we need to trust each other again, and narrow the racial divide, we must!
4. As far as I am concerned, never a day in my life that I have not needed a Chinese, an Indian, or another fellow Malay to meet my life’s needs, AND I DO NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH IT!
5. We need to believe again! There is SO MUCH HATRED GOING AROUND BETWEEN THE RACES SINCE PAK LAH’S ‘WORK WITH ME!’ THAT IT IS TREATENING TO DESTROY OUR MULTI-FACETED CULTURE, WHICH WUD BE A REAL WASTE REALLY, AS THERE IS NO OTHER COUNTRY IN THIS WORLD THAT IS LIKE US…
6. Finally, allow me to quote Zig Zigler, the Motivational Guru, as something for us to ponder on, “When we neglect to require our children to say `thank you’ when someone gives them a gift or does something for them, we raise ungrateful children who are highly unlikely to be content. Without gratitude, happiness is rare. With gratitude, the odds for happiness go up dramatically.”
And he further added, “Have an attitude of gratitude. The more you recognize and express gratitude for the things you have, the more things you will have to express gratitude for.”

Dear Tun,
I really hope all rich Malaysian chinese MIGRATE elsewhere with their wealth. Or else, the government will always keep compiling inaccurate statistics that mislead the people to think that the average Chinese are wealthy.
As what I can see, many chinese in Malaysia are not wealthy. The wealth is concentrated only in the hands of a few tycoons.
Pity the poor majority chinese people.. pity the poor malays and indians.
Assalamualaikum.
Lihatlah betapa bijaknya kaum Cina ini menyucuk jarum propaganda mereka, meritokrasi dicanang begitu indah sekali tetapi isinya penuh hasad dengki, tamak dan khianat.
Lihatlah bagaimana mereka menentang GST kerana ini akan membuka pekung rahsia perniagaan mereka. Berapa banyak mereka meraih untung bagi produk mereka dan bagaimana harga kepada Melayu dan Cina berbeza kerana semua dokumen ini perlu disimpan untuk diperiksa.
Lihatlah bagaimana bersungguhnya mereka mempertahankan bahasa dan adat resam mereka samabil menyeru Melayu agar lebig liberal. Ramai Melayu munafik menyokong mereka. Semoga ALLAH memberikan petunjuk kepada semua Melayu yang ISLAM agar lebih mengenali siapa kawan dan lawan.
Lihatlah bagaimana bersungguhnya mereka menentang ISA kerana jika ditahan dibawah akta ini mereka tidak boleh melawan lagi. Akta ini adalah hak istimewa dan senjata pemerintah Melayu. Melayu PAS dan PKR penyokong kuat agenda ini tanpa sedar mereka dikuda secara lembut oleh puak Cina kiasu ini. Bila ISA tiada nanti lihatlah bagaimana gerakan mereka. Kalau nak tahu cubalah.
Lihatlah bagaimana kebanyakan aktiviti haram yang dijalankan oleh kaum Cina ini memusnahkan Melayu dan hasilnya juga digunakan untuk menentang Melayu. Berapa banyak sumbangan yang diterima oleh persatuan kaum dan parti politik Cina daripada mereka ini. Peniaga judi haram, kelab malam, rumah pelacuran dan urut juga peniaga dadah adalah kaum Cina. Betapa terkejutnya kita bila dadah benilai lebih 200 juta berjaya dirampas daripada satu sindiket yang dianggotai oleh kaum Cina, bayangkanlah berapa ramai Melayu akan hanyut dengan dadah sebanyak itu.
Dear Tun,

How Come Asking Someone To Go Home Is A Racist Remark?
By Angelia Sinyang
The non-Malays went berserk when they heard how the Principal in Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra, Kulai, Johor insulted their children, by asking the Chinese to go back to China and the Indians of wearing dog-chains.
I am not a racist, though I admit that I started to doubt that now. I personally don
Tun,
Walaupun saya sudah meluat dengan tulisan Tun baru-baru ini khususnya yang menyebabkan ketegangan kuam di negara yang kami cintai ini, saya tetap perbetulkan apa saya dapati ada kesilapan yang dilakukan oleh Tun.
Tun katakan 20 tahun masih tidak mencukupi bagi bumiputra untuk maju, saya cuma nak peringatkan Tun bahawa pada tahun ini DEB sudah berusia 40 tahun dan bukan lagi baru 20 tahun. Sudah dua kali ganda peluang diberikan kepada bumiputra tanpa berusaha bersungguh tetapi sebaliknya mereka mempergunakan peluang itu sehabis-habisan untuk bersukaria.
Saya dapati ada yang mengatakan kaum bukan bumiputra tak erti bersyukur dan tamak kerana membantah DEB, saya ingin tegaskan di sini bahawa kalau baru hari ini kerajaan hendak laksanakan DEB dan tiba-tiba kaum bukan bumiputra bantah maka saya setuju dengan kaum bumiputra bahawa mereka adalah tamak.
Kaum bukan bumiputra sudah 40 tahun dengan sabar menunggu bersama-sama dengan kaum bumiputra untuk melihat kemajuan dari kaum bumiputra tetapi dengan hati yang sedih kaum bumiputra sendiri telah mengagalkan policy yang memihak kepada mereka. Adakan itu masih dianggap kaum bukan bumiputra masih tamak ????? Bagi mereka yang ada otak boleh berfkir dengan sendiri.
Adaker Tun ingin melihat Malaysia sudah jadi muflis baru Tun kata ”
Oh saya sudah silap ” ? Tolong Tun fikir kan masak-masak sebab mungkin Tun tak sempat lihat kejatuhan negara yang saya sebutkan tadi tetapi generasi yang muda yang akan mederita.
Rakyat yang bertanggungjawab
Terima kasih
Salam bahagian Tun;
MERITOCRACY HELPS BUILD THE ETHIC OF HARD WORKs. Itu ialah kunci kejayaan sebenarnya dan bukan mencari alasan, berselindug di sebalik KERISAUAN untuk tidak mahu/kurang berusaha dengan cara yang betul dan kerja kuat.
Studies have shown that countries that have achieved the fastest rate of growth are those which have properly educated(know-how & skill) citizens who apply the knowledge to production of goods and services.
Sistem meritokrasi sebenarnya ada kebaikannya jika dilaksanakan di Malaysia, kerana dengan cara itu dapat menyedarkan orang Melayu daripada tidurnya dan yang kurang keyakinan diri kerana masih memerlukan tongkat untuk terus bersaing.
Hakikatnya, kebanyakan Negara Islam masih tidak celik dari tidurnya. Sebab itu hampir semua Negara Islam walaupun kaya dengan hasil bumi, tetapi kurang maju (dalam bidang menghasilkan teknologi ) jika di bandingkan Negara kecil yang tidak banyak hasil bumi seperti Korea, Jepun, Singapura, Israel, Taiwan dan Hongkong.

YABhg Tun,
I totally agree, an audit should be done….
salam ramadhan tun…
lepas baca beberapa komen dalam blog tun dan cuma banding kan NEP di peringkat yang melata (rakyat jelata)…
nak tanya soalan…
NEP nie kira success atau tak?…
kalau success apa atau siapa benchmark nya?…
kalau fail, mana parasitnya?…
mana pegi segala kertas2 seminar, kongres, atau meja bulat tun…
perlu tak sekali lagi dikumpulkan doktor macam tun, engineer macam IEM, strategis etc…(harap bukan hanya politician)…
just a question…
salam aidilfitri tun, maaf zahir dan batin…:)
Salam Tun & fellow CheDet’s bloggers,
I would like to comment further to my earlier comment.
This issue has created havoc. Why not we all look one issue at a time with clear mind.
Hope IMalaysia objective is timely after more than 50 years of independence, to create a true Malaysian that we can be proud of.
Our diversity is a our nation strength that can be build on to make Malaysia a unique nation in the world but it is also a weakness and will remain so if the issue of UNITY is not been addressed properly on an urgent and top priority basis.
UNITY need sincere feeling of “muhibah” among the races, to respect and understand each other. Being tolerant is not good enough. Believe me, these can be developed only when national education is based on a SINGLE school system. Please dispute me on this matter if this is a wrong path to begin with.I would like to hear from our Chinese friend bloggers. Why can’t we have this?
Without UNITY, any issues raised/discussed, not only on subject of meritocracy,but also democracy, personal freedom and freedom of speech and fair distribution of wealth ETC, will only create deeper mistrust and hatred among the races in future. Without solving this UNITY issue, discussions on other national issues will not only be a waste of time, becoming mere political rhetoric but will create a dangerous time bomb for our national destruction that will obviously will not benefit anybody except our enemies, those in fact are envious of our unique achievement so far. Please discuss this UNITY issue with clear minds.
My experience as student in the 70’s when travelling in USA on summer vacation with my Chinese & Indian friends ( all are Malaysians). On one occassion while checking into a hotel, we were asked where were coming from, our reply ( from Malaysia ) made the receptionist puzzled because “how can you come from one country but you all did not look alike”. That gave us a moment of feeling really proud being Malaysian. Will that will continue in futute, only Allah knows.
To conclude, I like to refer SAI comment on September 1,
” MY EVERLASTING COMMENT ON THESE 3 RACES ARE, MALAYS ARE DILIGENT AND HARDWORKING BUT ARE TOO GIVING, CHINESE ARE OPPURTUNIST AND CUNNING BUT TOO GREEDY, INDIANS ARE GOOD IN TALKING BUT UNTRUSTWORTHY.
THIS WHOLE TROUBLE STARTS WHEN NO UMNO GUYS HAVE THE GUTS TO BECOME A GOOD POLITICIAN AND ADMINISTRATOR, MCA AND MIC ARE STILL LAZY TO ATTEND THE GRASSROOTS.”
Think about how true the statement is.
May Allah bless and protect us from evils and those with evil intention.
Singapore SHOULD continue focusing on attracting malaysian chinese and bring all of them to Singapore.
Good riddance!!
Only then, Malaysia will enjoy a peaceful, harmonious and respectful society
Tun,
Have you ever wonder why is it that the Singapore Malay graduates can compete with their global counterparts while our Malaysian Malay graduates have to seek refuge in the civil service?
QUOTE: If I am included it is because I think it is dangerous for the rich to take away what little the poor has.
That is precisely why I am absolutely against politicians and those who benefit from the NEP from becoming multimillionaires and billionaires. No, I am not against them earning the money, but I feel that they should take those “windfall” profits and redistribute it to the poor, especially the Malay commoners. After all, what is the meaning of fighting for their race when they are living in luxury in their palaces while offering lip service to those whom they are purportedly fighting for? Isn’t that hypocrisy when the majority of those whom one is fighting for is still eking out an existence while one lives with a lifestyle that is far better than most Chinese and Indians whom they condemn?
And why destroy the free Johor Bahru-Singapore causeway and replace it by a crooked bridge that is going to cause hardship to the tens of thousands of workers who use it everyday to bring in foreign exchange? As we all know, everyone is going to suffer if this idea goes through except the shareholders of PLUS.
CAN i ASK TUN AND ALL THE MUSLIM READERS OF THIS WONDERFUL BLOG TO MAKE THE MOST OF THE LAST FEW DAYS OF RAMADAN AND DEVOUT THEIR TIME TO SEEKING OUT LAYLAT AL-QADR. THIS BLOG WILL BE HERE WHEN YOU RETURN AFTER HARI RAYA.
ALL TOO OFTEN WE SPEND TOO MUCH TIME BLOGGING AND NOT MAKING THE MOST OF THE BLESSED OPPORTUNITIES WE ARE ACCORDED IN SACRED TIMES, LIKE RAMADAN.
THANK YOU.
Tun M.
Who is actually instigating racist sentiments – Joe on the street or politicians and past politicians politicking because that is what they know and do best.
I have stated this before – I have no issues with my ethnic Malay bretheren getting priveleges provided there are clear and consistent benefits accorded. Can you put your hand on your heart and insist all Malays in Malaysia have benefited from NEP in whole? Do you count Indonesian migrants into this benefit group? What were the KPIs that this program was meant to target and aim to achive? Do we have some hazy plans or were there clear measurable objectives? If there aren’t why not? If there are, why didnt it achieve these targets in the set time? Were there set time?
Sir, you were CEO of the country for a very long time – if the program did not achieve it’s set objectives and you keep making excuses for it not being as effective as planned, how do you think your success in this to be measured? I guess you have already gotten your golden handshake …the rewards all failed CEOs get these days…
We are no different to the corporations you so fondly like to criticise but no different to.
And how do you see your current messages in relation to what our current PM is delivering regards racial integration – you questioned recently on what 1Malaysia is about and more clarification required so it is not misinterpreted?
What is your interpretation about it? Care share?
Under your administration – you had a whole lot of programs (more slogans from where I see it)
– Bersih Cekap Amanah – would you say we had a clean, efficient, trustworthy Government under your leadership?
– Malaysia Boleh – well, we built long bridges, big tall buildings, made cars and sold lots of them for profits, launched rockets, scaled mountains…but did we really become a much stronger willed community? Are we superior in educational pursuits? Are we stronger in our sporting excellence? Are we able to compete outside South East Asia in terms of manufacturing, economic resilience, thought leadership?
– Wawasan 2020 – why 2020 Tun? Was it because you knew there was no way in your 22 years of administration, we could have overcome all our inhibitions, ability to create a culture of performance and excellence, created a society that was filled with curiosity and intellect? Was it because you felt, by then you could have blamed any loss of momentum and possibly not achieving developed status to your successors. After all, your idea of progress was big buildings, long bridges etc etc…who cares if society in whole developed…
While I agree we need to set a plan for the future, you have lacked to indicate what you want to see as targets year-on-year and 10 years remaining, I cant see how we will meet this target.
Don’t get me wrong..you did some good things as PM…but you can’t claim you were a good leader especially as basic leadership principles weren’t adhered to:
a/ no real succession planning in your entire coalition group
b/ no actual target setting and tracking for any government run programmes during your administration
c/ poor implementation and accountability of mega projects…not sustainable
So, tell me Tun, why bring up these racist sentiments now? Is it so, you can wave your hands and get people to pay attention here and they don’t focus on all your other failings?
And if you keep wanting to inciting these sentiments, isnt it hypocritical as you would not have allowed any such talk when you were the PM…you would have just gotten those ‘culprits’ under remand…
I think it’s about time you supported present PM Tun and allowed him to get on with his job of running the country. You would have expected the same when you were in the hot seat…

bebaru ni tergezut gak tngok ada plak sorang bukan muslim tu dapat masuk dlm tempat ibadat org muslim, dapat dok berdiri kt tetengah tempat ibadat tu, pas tu tak tutup aurat plak….
lepas tu dok berdiri & yg muslim lain dok terduduk plak….
Mcm tengah dengar seruan jeerr…
Apa la bodohnya diorang tu boleh plak perkara ni terjadi & bersekongkol skali plak…- Kata Malaysia negara Islam..????
Penat kepala nak junjung tanda soalan yg tumbuh kt atas kepala…
Musykil….musykil….
Babu-baru ni saya ke sebuah negara kafir kominis (China)…. Alhamdulillah,ada gak jumpa Masjid… walaupun tak semakmur masjid kt Malaysia….Walau jemaahnya tak seramai jemaah di Malaysia…
Ada gak saudara seagama kt sana….
Yang best nya…Masjid kt sana pun jadi tempat tumpuan pelancong..samaada pelancong asing maupun domestik…
Kt depan pintu masjid tu ada pondok pengawal….
Sesiapa pelancong yang menutup aurat saja dibenarkan masuk dan pelancong muslim dibenarkan masuk sehingga kedalam ruang solat masjid…
bg yang bukan muslim mereka boleh juga mengunjungi masjid tersebut tapi cuma di perkarangan tempat tersebut….
Alhamdulillah, terpelihara juga masjid tempat umat Islam beribadah…. tapi itu di negara bukan muslim…
di negara kominis..
Di Malaysia, di negara yang katanya negara Islam, lain pula jadi nya…
Benarlah seperti bijak pandai berkata… kita akan lebih menghargai apabila sesuatu itu telah tiada….
Islam lebih dihargai, dipelihara dan dijaga di negara bukan Islam..
Apa dah jadi ngan Islam di Malaysia..????
Kudos Mr Mahathir
I like this post of yours the most among all the previous ones especially when you said that you have to make unpopular choices because you think it is for the good of the country. However there is a flaw in it. It hasn’t be for the good of your country.
As you have admitted yourself, racism is slowly creeping its way into the lives of Malaysian once again. A source of racism is the government itself. Harping and selling racial issue like a hooker on a good run.
Any time to bash a few idiots.
AJP, you are talking about contractors? Are you one? Do you get project frm the government? Is the disbursement of project equally shared among Malays or just the top Malay dogs? Think my good man! We’r talking about 40 years of “giving” Malays contract. I can only see APs giving to that fat hag’s cronies, whats her name. Rafida or something.
mdrose, as iv said before, no one likes Malaysians. Even the Malay’s closest cousin (people in INdon) secretly despise Malays. Why should they like Malays? You guys mencuri their culture, sombong and hypocritical. Biasa lah they burn our flag. Nothng new there.
Kuhan, why our kind can adapt well in Thailand and Indon? Because the majority there are not not control freaks like Malays and the Brits were not involved in either of these countries. Thaksin was a chinese billionaire do you know that? He is a Hakka and he was a prime minister. And yea, im pretty sure most Malaysian chiese and indians would not one to be associated with our ancestral homeland.
We want to compete with them but we cant do it at only 40% capacity while the other 60% is bogging us down.
Back to education. Even Obama said the american education system needs to revitalise itself to compete with the Chinese and Indians. Didnt hear him saying “We need to compete with the proud race which call themselves the Malays”. He probably never heard of that race anyway.
http://ibnlive.in.com/news/obama-asks-americans-to-study-hard-beat-indians/97159-2.html
Malays get to learn first hand experience to compete with the Chinese and Indians in Malaysia but they do not appreciate it. When you get the chance to experience living side by side two of the world’s greatest culture and people, do not let that opportunity waste in vain.
Look at the indians in Bangalore. Look at their IT industry and human capital resource. Those are the guys who study there and become engineers in Google, Microsoft and Sun. God, they even get to be on TV and product launches because they created all the awesome products that we so admire. Not bad for a country which basically do not have the capital to invest in a lot of infrastructure and is without a twin tower (still the most pathetic means to brand and promote Malaysia). Rubbish! After 50 years of independence still nothing good comes out from Malaysia except for human capital ie people like me!
And those companies from Bangalore are really good. If you watch bloomberg, you will know what i mean. However i can only remember INfosys. They have an office in my city in Australia. My Indian friends from Bangalore are really really proud of Bangalore. I can only envy them. When they ask me, what do Malaysia have? I told them we have Proton, they rofl. I know they were waiting for me to say that because there are Protons in Oz but everyone knows its crappy and only poor people will buy them. So everytime Proton says their sale in Oz is doing well, its just another propaganda which only orang kampung percaya.
See Mahathir i can pretty much write a lot about your “success” and your “brilliant” ideas to develop high tech industries without first developing human capital.
Ciao!
Well nothing to be proud of this independence day like all the previous one. Instead we should all mourn because our country is still in a dire state without any prospect of a real change and progress.

Dear Tun
Heed your own preaching
Teach them how to fish rather than giving them fish everyday..
Sdr. Comtemplate,
You’re absolutely Right!
It was with the TOOLS of the NEP that Ayahanda Tun Razak and Ayahanda Tun Mahathir tried to facilitate them ( we believe you meant the Malays)HOW TO FISH…
But unfortunately, most of the fishes had since been ‘netted’ into the ‘ponds’ of other citizens ( we meant the chinese) who possessed the best ‘BAITS’ that cud lure the best of the Malays, the best of Chinese, the best of Indians and the best of the Others in the administration to ‘kow-tim’ and ‘ kow-tow’ to the ‘kepala agung’.
Do you think the Malays will ever possess such baits to beat the Chinese? ‘Haram Lah!’.. Also, Malay and Malay..got shy shy a bit lah. That’s why the Malay is and will always stay handicapped even with the TONGKAT provided by the BN Gov’t…
Aiiya, although the Malay appears to own the tongkat but (you know, I know) most of the time the Chinese make use of it, ma?..Some more, where to catch quality fish ah?..when all the ponds in the cities have been filled up by the chinese towkays for township developments ( after harvesting the fishes), ma?.
What?..you want the Malays ONLY to fish in the kampung and/or the jungle rivers?.. then there must be something very fishy about the meritocrat racists demand to abolish the NEP!..’True or Not? If we really look-see, very true ma?’
Its like going to do battle with the zionist regime which possessed the USA administration with the ‘kepala George Washington’… the DIVIDED majority Arabs will always be handicapped against the ‘firepowers’ of the UNITED minority Israelis…
‘PERSATUAN LAMBANG KETEGUHAN , PERERPECAHAN LAMBANG ME-LAYU’
Similarly here in Malaysia..the majority Malays will always be handicapped against the ‘moneypowers’ of the minority Chinese…
‘WALAUPUN JALAN DIA ‘SERONG-BERONG’*, TAPI PERSATUAN DIA TAKKAN ME-LAYU’
CONTEMPLATE lah, Bladers..
PLEASE STOP BEING MERITOCRAT RACISTS OR OTHERWISE 53 YEARS OF NATION BUILDING THAT HAD BROUGHT US PEACE,PROSPERITY AND HARMONY WILL BE TURNED INTO ‘GROUND-ZERO’… THAT THE NEEDLE IS SLOWLY CREEPING TOWARDS THE CALAMITY BALOON, IF WE KEEP ON HARPING ON SENSITIVE ISSUES…
AND IF WE MAY INSIST… ‘WAWASAN 2020 BUKAN TITIK PENYUDAH BAGI JENERASI MENDATANG IA BERMULA’.
MAY THE ALMIGHTY ALLAH PROTECT ‘KAMI’ (Kita Anak Malaysia Insaf) ALWAYS..
ALFATIHAH, AMIN.

Dear Tun
If the chinese are not racist, they should use national language and go to national school. They should abolish ACCCIM and join malaysian trade association. Chinese is racist deep from the heart, starting from worshipping the family, clan and then country and then to the universal kingship, the middle kingdom. This is the proof to be fillia. Talking that chinese is not racist just empty and hollow and the phenomena you still can see it clearly in the public universities. Not need to create programme for assimilation or intergration, racist is in the mind of chinese and you just got to live with it.
Good morning Tun
To offer my point of view
From points 16 to 18, you repeatedly mention the points poor bumiputera and rich non-bumiputera.
Now why is this so?
It’s not that Malays are inferior in any way, I have met plenty of wonderful, intelligent, rich Malays. If there is a cause for the huge economical disparity between the races, it is precisely because of the protection they get which doesn’t give them the need and urgency to fight and prove themselves.
The incredibly racist responses here have shocked me as it seems all the Malays here want are to maintain the protection (for what reason? believe in yourselves as you are more than capable of surviving and excelling without) and to ask Chinese to migrate overseas (then who will bear the cost of your ‘protection’?).
Yes, Chinese and Indians are minorities. You might think ‘balik ke negara asal’ is a wonderful solution as then you can keep your ‘rights’, but without foreigners around and with all of you having equal rights, it all comes back to the survival of the fittest once more. With no outside group, rights don’t mean a thing as all of you will be on equal feet. It would be the exact same situation as if your rights were taken away right now.
After so many years of protection, the economic disparity is still so huge. You might want to look into why that is happening. Just look at America who protects her beggars and coddles her citizens. They have turned lazy and reliant on the government, not bothering to work hard for their futures and excel to their maximum potential. I do not intend this to be a racist remark in the least, as I have said, I have met many Malay individuals I respect very much who work hard and make it on their own. They would be insulted to be grouped together with their brethren who do not try their utmost to bring glory to their race as they feel comfortable where they stand right now.
Stand up, stand tall, prove yourselves to the rest of the world. If an adult is still grasping at a safety blanket, how is anyone supposed to respect him?
To Tun, I’m sorry but I have to disagree with waiting for the disparities to subside. If you spoil your child too much without letting him taste the harshness of the world, he will never learn and work hard on his own. It’s better to start as early as possible before this fact gets proven with time 100 years down the road.
Jadi tanda soal.
Siapa sebenarnya yg mengsyorkan,yg pertama mengeluarkan sijil Halal.
Apa sebenarnya motif tersebut.
Menegakan Akidah Islam,atau mengabil kesempatan kepentingan perdagangan,Keuntungan,Kepentingan diri sendiri.
Malah bukan saja Pengusaha Makanan Kafir begitu giat membeli hukum HALAL,Bank Kafir,DBS Bank pun sibuk nak jadi Muaalaf,nak masuk pasaran Arab,bukan kerana Akidah Islam,Tetapi
kerana demi Keuntungan diri.
Jika sedemikian Harus juga MUIS,JAKIM,Badan Agama Islam Indonesia,Badan Agama Islam seluruh Dunia,
Harus juga mengeluarkan,menampal
Di pintu Hotel,pintu Casino,pintu Maksiat,pintu Judi,pintu Zina,bagi mengingati,meneguh,membentras,mencegah Haram dengan memastikan,mewajibkan

My grandparents were rubbertappers, and my parents grew up in dirt poor environment. They mostly ate rice and sweet potatoes to fill their stomach, and only during celebrations such as Chinese New Year they get to cut up the chicken they have been rearing and have it as their meal.
My parents vowed to change their life. My father completed his secondary education and got a job as a government servant. Pay was not great. My mother was not working and they have 5 children to feed. But they were determined – they saved each and every sen – we never ate out unless it is someone’s birthday, and we’ve never gone for any holidays other than to balik-kampung. They saved enough to invest in a shoplot, and bit by bit, they accumulated their wealth.
All their savings went into their children’s education – they sent all 5 children to study overseas. Thanks to our education, I am proud to say that my siblings and 1 are doing very well today.
Tun, my parents are great fans of yours. It is under your reign that Malaysia has grown, and they have benefitted from the growth. And all races got along harmoniously.
But things have changed. Some people tell us, if we’re not happy, why not migrate. Well fact on braindrain: about 50% of my Malaysian university mates have migrated overseas. About 30% of my colleagues have migrated overseas – Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, UK, US and recently China. And these are educated professionals. I was taught to love Malaysia, the country in which I was born and grew up in. Call me silly, but I wanted to give it a second chance.
Family: I will need to leave my parents behind if I were to migrate as it is difficult to get approval for senior citizens to go over.
However, recently there are so many push factors for us to migrate that we cannot ignore them any longer. It will be with a sad and heavy heart that I leave Malaysia.
On the NEP, I do not wish to comment whether it has been beneficial to the country. I just wish to say that only self-motivation can help the Malays. No amount of help line thrown out to them can change their life if they do not grab the opportunity. My parents turned around their lives in 20 years without any help. I am sure the Malays can do it within the same timeframe with the support given by NEP…if they wish to.
Jangan terpedaya dengan ahli politik yg berbangsa lain,Cina,India atau sebagainya,yang selalu orang melayu tersentuh bila mereka bolih bertutur bahasa Melayu,bolih faham Jawi,di kaca TV atau sebagainya,seperti Lee Siang Lung atau sesiapa jua
Sebab,nak tahu sebabnya !
Lebih pandai mereka cakap melayu,
lebih banyak mereka tipu melayu
Dearest Tun
may I…

… ACTUALLY TO SOLVE THE MERITOCRACY ISSUE IS VERY SIMPLE. HAVING STAYED AND STUDIED IN SINGAPORE AND UNITED STATES YEARS AGO, THE ANSWER IS EITHER YOU BEAT THE SYSTEM OR CHANGE THE WHOLE SYSTEM.
YES Sai I concur with you esp when inaction to change the whole system can mean DOOM for Malaysia like the situation we are in now…
LET US CONSIDER THESE HARD FACTS/PAINFUL TRUTH :-
1-Malays will eventually lose their political DOMINANCE.When this happen all hell is gonna break lose as the Malays will feel like the sky has fallen on them and become panicky.The Malays all fired up by PERKASA will run riot and Malaysia will find itself engaging in a MARATHON civil war the likes common in the British former colonies after their independence..Losing the political dominance is a huge risk we should not let happen the Malays.SO’ NOT TAKING AWAY WHAT LITTLE THE POOR HAS’ IS JUSTIFIED.
2- Malays being disadvantaged by British administration being mostly rural folks seek a fair playing field against the Non Malays who have mostly benefited from the facilities the British have provided in the urban areas etc.The affirmative NEP to help them acquire the skills so they too can have A SHARE OF THE NATION’S WEALTH IS JUSTIFIED.
3- The Non Malays mainly Chinese with their adequate capital resources and a huge global bamboo network feel they are ready to compete with the World so they are demanding MERITOCRACY.It wouldn’t be fair to stop them from competing with the World when they think they are ready.MERITOCRACY AS THE CHINESE DEMAND IS JUSTIFIED.
THE SOLUTIONS?- TWO MALAYSIA,THE ONLY WAY ALL THAT IS JUSTIFIED CAN BE HAD.
A Malay Malaysia and a Non Malay Malaysia- part 2.of my earlier comment in IS MERITOCRACY RACISTS?
1- The Malays must understand that by giving away these already Chinese dominated states to be ruled by the non Malays the Malays can ensure their political dominance over the whole country for a much longer time to enable them to benefit from the NEP which should be done correctly this time around.
2-The Chinese should not be greedy and still harbor ambition of capturing political Malaysia.Other then the reason of the danger of a lose-lose scenario of a Malay aggression should the Malays lose their political dominance,the Non Malays should be happy to be afforded quite a substantial land to practice MERITOCRACY.
3- The NEP can be practiced at the other many states that make MALAY MALAYSIA which is not short of strategic,valuable, fertile and mineral rich too like the NON MALAY MALAYSIA.The Malays can also have the advantage of emulating the successful projects in the NON MALAY MALAYSIA to be done in these MALAY MALAYSIA.
4-The Non Malays not happy with NEP can move over to the NON MALAY MALAYSIA.Since the NEP is given a second chance it has no choice but to succeed.
5- The CHINESE can take off immediately with their MERITOCRACY and the Malays who are not ready or would feel left out can consider moving over to the MALAY MALAYSIA.
CONCLUSIONS
1- Although we may not appear to be a united being comprised of two different autonomous states ,we are not unique.In China HK is an autonomous state in China,and there is one autonomous state in Ukraine too.What is most important is that we are able to SECURE PEACE and this is all that is important.Even in the One Malaysia today we are not really at peace with one another if the comments in this blog is to be judged!
2- We are not giving independence to these states they are still and will always be a part of Malaysia(we will make sure of that) and someday when the Malays feel that the playing field have become level once again then these two states can be absolved NEP abolished forever and MERITOCRACY will be the way of the whole ONE MALAYSIA.But we will let the Malays decide when they would be ready…
3- In this way Malaysia will not be held back in the global competition unnecessarily while the Government attempt to do the corrective work on the social imbalance of multi racial Malaysia.How awesome!
4- The expected success of the NON MALAY MALAYSIA is hoped to provide a challenge to the MALAY MALAYSIA to work hard and ensure the success of the NEP2 as otherwise they would have no one but themselves to blame if they were to be compared negatively by the world..
5-This may JUST be the kind of pressure the Malays need in order to be successful or else they will always be complacent and manja.In this way they have no choice but to be successful by hook or by crook…
6- In the absence of any other ideas at the moment,I believe this is the only win-win approach that should be considered at all cost.
7- The danger of taking away what little the poor has would be a disaster that must be averted at all cost before it is too late.This threat is very real.It could happen as early as PRU13.
8-While Tun can be safely protected in the case of a 513 like riots..people like me living in a Chinese majority USJ may not be so lucky should the Chinese decide to strike back….So why I am begging Tun to please recommend this COMPLETE CHANGE OF SYSTEM to Najib ASAP!
Thanks Tun.
Salam Tun dan pembaca,
Meritokrasi pasti akan dilaksanakan pada suatu hari nanti untuk negara mencapai daya kompetitif. Tetapi bukan sekarang. Saya tidak setuju penghapusan hak bumiputera pada masa ini. Apa baiknya sekiranya kita menjalankan polisi meritokrasi tetapi negara tidak aman dan kek kekayaan negara mengecil? Pada masa itu orang Cina pun tak boleh buat duit.
Banyak kita perlu lakukan sebelum membenarkan meritokrasi seperti menghapuskan sekolah etnik dan liberelisasi penguasaan dominasi perniagaan berasaskan etnik. Hanya apabila Bumiputera mampu bersaing dalam ‘leveling field’ sahaja barulah kita boleh mancapai keamanan dan meritokrasi boleh dilaksanakan. Ianya mengambil masa.
Hak Bumiputera adalah isu kepentingan nasional kerana ianya menjamin suasana perniagaan kondusif untuk kes negara ini.

As a Chinese I would like to see my Malay brethens prosper and progress. We don’t quarrel over the rights of Malays enshrine in the constituition but over the way is carried out.
Much progress has been achieved by the Malays. There are more doctors, lawyers and professionals. But there are certain actions within the policy that leads to a culture of deed corruption. Even the Malays see this and are angered by the abuse in which you see corruption in such a vast scale and nothing is done …. always the same excuse … lack of evidence…..We are really sick as we don’t trust now the police, judiciary and the macc. What angers most people is the disparity in the wealth of rich Malays and the poor.
We can no longer keep a policy that has become increasing out-dated and can only lead to an increasing racial divide. If my hunch is correct the 1Malaysia concept if truly honest is the real answer. No more discrimination base on racial lines.
To strengthen the Malays the special rights of the Malays should be administered more justly. Why give 15% discount to a rich Malay in buying a house…. The Chinese and Indians were discriminated and obstacles purposely created to retard their progress or to force them to leave the country. Malays should learn from the other races success. There is no secret how the other races succeed. HARD WORK, A DERMINATION TO SUCCEED, THIRST FOR KNOWLEDGE, ETC., NOT TO BE SATISFIED WITH SMALL SUCCESS……
Individually the Malays are a very pleasant and friendly people. They should learn from the culture of the Chinese and Indians, like the Chinese should learn the culture of friendliness from them. The progress of the Malays in not done by staffing the civil service of GLCs with them. Too much in-breeding will happen. They will never learn to fight for their survival. We have a bloated civil service that is not functioning as it should be. Its a unnecessary burden on the economy.
The country will be more peaceful if politicians especially those of UMNO-aligned keep their peace. Every day we see hate messages coming out of utusan maalyu or governtment controlled newspaper.
At the ground level it is still peaceful now. But why do we have to use the hate and fear tactics that will further divide this nation.
Malays are just as intelligent as any other people. They should have the confidence and know that there is no easy path to success.
In the dark clouds we see silver linings. I am particulary hearten by what Nazri (PM office) and Khairy had spoken lately. There is still hope. To have a policy base on a huge dose of jealousy is totally unacceptable.
Let the enlighened Malays unite and bring forth a new policy that embraces all people of Malaysia. We do not have much time left………. be circumspect of what our huge southern neighbour………….as in history not long ago.
Salam YAB Tun,
Baguslah kerana semua dapat memberi pendapat dan pandangan masing-masing. Syabas, kepada semua yang memberi input.
Sekarang ini jelaslah bahawa setiap individu mempunyai pendapat dan pandangan masing-masing dan juga mempunyai pengalaman yang berbeza sama ada pahit atau manis. Masing-masing mempunyai matlamat dan perjuangan yang tersendiri.
Cuma satu persoalan. Bagaimana hendak memenuhi kehendak dan kemahuan setiap individu di Malaysia tercinta ini?
Adakah keadilan yang dicari selama ini?
Keadilan yang macam mana yang hendak dicari atau dicapai?
Bukankah bila keadilan yang diperjuangkan maka ada pihak yang kena bertolak ansur (at the expense of others)?
Adakah keadilan ini untuk pihak majoriti atau minoriti; kaya atau miskin; berkuasa atau lemah?
Adakah mana-mana negara yang mengamalkan keadilan secara total? Adakah keadilan yang total ini diamalkan di Amerika, Britain, Australia, Jepun. Switzerland, Perancis, Arab Saudi, Singapura, Indonesia, Thailand, China, Afghanistan dan lain-lain negara?
Adakah rakyat di Malaysia tidak menikmati keadilan? Apakah maksud sebenar keadilan di Malaysia?
Atau “keadilan” di Malaysia adalah permainan ahli politik untuk mencari populariti dan undi?
Kepada kesemua pembaca blog ini, tolonglah, fikir sejenak kepada kesemua input yang telah diberi. Carilah KEADILAN yang sebenar daripada rumusan yang dapat diambil daripada blog ini. Janganlah dipengaruhi oleh emosi atau sentimen.

Salam Ramadan dan Salam 1 Malaysia Yg. Bhg. Tun Dr. Mahathir,
Saya ingin berkongsi pandangan dengan rakan-rakan peminat blogger Tun dalam isu meritokrasi yang Tun ajukan.
Idea meritokrasi yang dibangkitkan oleh Kepimpinan MCA baru-baru ini perlu dilihat dari segi niat dan hasrat MCA dalam gabungan Barisan Nasional. Meritokrasi dilihat lebih praktikal dilaksanakan dalam keadaan sosio ekonomi semua rakyat Malaysia dari berbagai bangsa sudah mencapai tahap seimbang. Bangsa Melayu dan bumiputra masih lagi jauh ketinggalan dari segi pencapaian status ekonomi di Malaysia jika dibuat perbandingan dengan bangsa-bangsa lain di Malaysia, dan golongan ini masih lagi perlu diberi bantuan melalui berbagai dasar, polisi dan program mengseimbangkan status ekonomi antara kaum di Malaysia. MCA sepatutnya sudah sedia maklum mengenai perkara ini kerana diantara parti komponen terbesar dalam Barisan Nasional, dan telah sama-sama merangka program membantu yang lemah supaya keseimbangan dapat dicapai, kalau boleh dalam masa sesingkat mungkin. Mungkin juga atas sifat mahu mendapatkan keberuntungan politik maka isu seperti ini dibangkitkan, walau apapun ianya bergantung kepada niat MCA yang sebenar.
Saya sebagai orang Melayu selalu mengingatkan diri saya supaya berusaha lebih keras dan bersungguh-sungguh dalam mempertingkatkan ekonomi diri, keluarga dan masyarakat, kalau boleh atas usaha sendiri tanpa banyak bergantung kepada bantuan kerajaan. Saya yakin dan percaya ramai kalangan orang Melayu dan bumiputra dewasa ini sedang berusaha kearah yang sama. Tetapi harus diingat bahawa masih lagi banyak ruang-ruang dan peluang tertentu yang masih belum mampu diterokai oleh orang Melayu dan bumiputra tanpa bantuan kerajaan. Semua rakyat Malaysia sewajarnya faham bahawa untuk mencapai sesuatu matlamat ianya memerlukan sesuatu tempoh masa yang agak panjang, ambillah contoh kejayaan-kejayaan yang dicapai oleh sesetengah negara maju, ianya memerlukan pengorbanan masa, minda dan kesefahaman oleh rakyatnya.
Sampai suatu ketika dan saatnya meritokrasi sudah tentu wajar digunakan oleh kerajaan. Orang Melayu dan bumiputra tidaklah perlu diberi tongkat sepanjang masa. MCA juga harus memahami dalam usaha kerajaan Barisan Nasional menstrukturkan kek enkonomi negara bagi tujuan keseimbangan, Barisan Nasional tidak pernah meminggirkan keperluan kaum-kaum lain di Malaysia, malah khususnya kaum Tionghua masih bertambah maju dalam segala bidang kehidupan. Orang Melayu dan bumiputra tidak pernah rasa cemburu dan cuba menggugat kejayaan mereka (kaum Tionghua) dalam mencapai kejayaan. Hakikat ini tidak boleh dinafikan oleh sesiapun rakyat Malaysia.
Mungkin MCA terlalu terikut-ikut rentak parti pembangkang khususnya DAP dalam pakatan rakyat yang seringkali mengekploitasi isu-isu perkauman berkaitan hak istimewa orang Melayu dan bumiputra untuk memperoleh pengaruh dan sokongan terhadap parti mereka dari kalangan pengundi bukan bangsa Melayu dan bumiputra. Ekoran dari itu maka isu-isu perkauman atau disebut sebagai rasis begitu berkembang biak dalam masyarakat Malaysia hari ini. Kita sudah merdeka selama 53 tahun, masyarakat majmuk Malaysia boleh hidup aman dan damai dalam membina kehidupan, kecuali peristiwa 13 Mei berpunca dari masalah tidak keseimbangan ekonomi dan isu rasis yang dipermainkan oleh pihak-pihak tertentu. Peritiwa 13 Mei sepatutnya menjadi suatu pengajaran yang amat berguna bagi rakyat Malaysia. Belajarlah melalui pengalaman.
Semua rakyat Malaysia dari berbagai kaum ada hak dan keperluan mereka masing-masing, ada yang berbentuk umum dan ada yang berbentuk spesifik bagi sesuatu kaum. Jadinya jika sesuatu kaum memperkatakan sesuatu perkara yang menjadi hak mereka, jika kita menggunakan akal fikiran yang waras berpaksikan kesefahaman yang tinggi amat tidak wajarlah ianya dikaitkan dengan rasis atau perkauman. Realitinya kita rakyat Malaysia terdiri dari berbagai kaum, mengamalkan berbagai budaya dan menganut berbagai agama. Keunikan Malaysia ialah negara yang dihuni oleh berbagai kaum dan kita boleh hidup berharmoni, sepatutnya ini menjadi suatu kebanggaan rakyat Malaysia, bukannya menjadi suatu keganjilan dan menyusahkan. Negara lain begitu kagum dengan Malaysia kerana rakyatnya yang terdiri dari berbagai bangsa boleh hidup aman damai. Konsep 1 Malaysia yang diperkenalkan oleh Perdana Menteri Malaysia amat bersesuaian menjana peningkatan perpaduan antara rakyat Malaysia.
Bagi rakyat Malaysia yang mempunyai semangat jati diri yang tinggi haruslah berterusan bersama-sama memikul tanggungjawab dengan kerajaan yang ada, meningkatkan ekonomi negara, perpaduan antara kaum, kesetabilan politik yang menjurus kepada kemajuan pembangunan negara dan rakyat Malaysia.
Bagi parti-parti politik berjuanglah dengan prinsip yang benar, tulus dan ikhlas untuk rakyat dan kemakmuran negara. Perjuangan politik yang berlandaskan emosi, memutarbelitkan fakta, membuat janji-janji palsu, mengamalkan retorik semata-semata, menggunakan fakta agama yang songsang harus ditolak oleh rakyat Malaysia yang cintakan keamanan dan kemakmuran yang sedang kita rasai bersama. Untuk meruntuhkan sesuatu yang telah kita bina sekian lama dan terbukti membawa kebaikan boleh dilakukan dalam sekelip mata oleh penyangak-penyangak politik yang hanya gilakan kuasa. Marilah kita fikir-fikirkan bersama.
Salam hormat dan SELAMAT MENYAMBUT HARI KEMENANGAN,melawan hawa nafsu semasa berpuasa di bulan Ramadan Al-mubarak. Moga-moga Tun sentiasa dikurniakan Allah SWT sihat walafiat sesisi keluarga tercinta dan terus menyumbang idea dan pembangunan negara.
Wassalam.
Apa kahabar Tun,
Salam satu Malaysia sempena menyambut kemerdekaan Negara ke 53.
Sistem meritokrasi yang dicanangkan oleh pihak tertentu itu akan mengujudkan konflik kumulatif; jika perlaksanaannya cuba dieksploitasikan, yang akhirnya boleh menimbulkan perasaan tidak puas hati itu semakin membiak. Akibatnya nanti akan tersemai perasaan marah dan benci yang akan menyemarakkan lagi perkauman di Malaysia. Di Amerika isu ini menjadi isu panas yang tidak berkesudahan antara kulit puteh dan berwarna.
Jurang perbezaan boleh mengundang perasaan tidak puas hati, terutama jika melibatkan perbezaan kaum. Sifat perkauman memang ada di mana-mana di dunia ini. Negara seperti China, Amerika, Australia, Canada, Eropah dan beberapa Negara lain tidak terkecuali daripada isu ini.
Walaubagimanapun sistem meritokrasi ada pro dan kontranya, iaitu dari segi kebaikan dan keburukannya. Jika ditinjau dari segi kebaikan, ia mendedahkan rakyat Malaysia(khususnya orang Melayu) kearah persaingan yang sihat. Tetapi keburukanya pula ialah yang lemah akan terus lemah dan hanya yang kuat dan berupaya sahaja akan melonjak keatas. Ibarat ENAU dalam belukar yang melepaskan pucuk masing-masing.
Meritocracy should cover all aspects, including the willing surrender of life in defending this country. But very sad; because a large number involved in the military field, involving only one race. Other races (the fear of death is) do not want to be involved, except some; are willing to surrender the soul and their life to defend this country.
Therefore, what does it mean by meritocracy; if only for the purpose of reaping wealth alone, but when the call of IBU PERTIWI for defense of the homeland, could not be ignored. Only cold reaction from the party of this Ultra Kiasu.

I read your last remark : If I am included it is because I think it is dangerous for the rich to take away what little the poor has.
This is exactly how the people with power had done so,,It is about the Rich, The Have against the Poor and Have not…
Nothing to do with race and do not let the misleading identity of so called races to distract the needs to ensure Justices to be dealt with.
It is the greed and lack of control of desires, for wealth, for recognitions as well as for power that ruin many great civilzations before, and the same will repeat.
It is as simple as it…
Dear All
After all is said and done !
Yes all the different race is racists !!
We are all fighting for our rights!!!
But if we keep on doing so !!!!
The country would collapse !!!!
A new converted Racist on the rampage
If all the non Malays are such racists although born out of meritocracy
Then is better to get rid of them right
I do wonder would
If they all leave with their money in the bank, the talent they seems to display so well at work
Could it be Malaysia would come to a standstill !!!!
It could not right
After all, they are merely the minority ????
Ha Ha Ha
Salam Tun & Bloggers,
Reading through the article and by refrencing to my own observation in the country, I sensed racial talk has becoming more serious. There are some ‘noise’ made before but it has never been so loud lately.
I call this bad leadership. Tell you why….
1. I am the past 13th May generation and I enjoy racial harmony. I don’t know how did the past leader maintain this, but from the comment of my Chinese friend, the past leader has manage to represent all races during his time. Opportunity was big that most rakyat is focusing their time and energy to excel in the economy and spend less poiliticing.
2. Since Anwar was release from jail by some bad-leadership PM (both are aginst Mahathir), racial issues were created and sold in public. If I am a non-bumi, this is great opportunity to become equal and finally settled in without anymore worries. However, this has been coloured by some racist talk (even Anwar has ridicule the bumis right at one point of time). As a result, tension arises where all races started offending each other by bad racist word as appeared in this’comment board’.
3. The situation today is exacerbated by the fact that the economy is not doing as well as the rakyat expected or has enjoyed before. Distribution of wealth based on race started to become an issue. The Bumis right and or quota has been identified as a problem to the current wealth distribution system. Nonetheless, this was not really new as many non-bumis organisation has adopted discriminated compensation and benefit system to ensure that non-bumis could get more than the bumis to compensate them for rights that they don’t have as compared to the bumis.
If the ‘racial talk’ continues it would not be good and would destroy the stability of the country. Although the risk can be seemed as ‘moderate’ right now, it could become catasthropic if no action plan was taken to resolve the issue.
Booming economy can be seen as way out here. Further, I think we should address the wealth distribution based on social status instead (the poorer ones should be prioritised). For an example, a middle class non-bumis could also enjoy discount on housing instead of Khairy Jamaluddin. This is simply that although, Khairy is bumi he is richer than the middle class non-bumis therefore the poorer should get the discount. However, careful attention to details need to be taken to ensure less error.
My 2 cents.
Thank you.
Dear Tun
Heed your own preaching
Teach them how to fish rather than giving them fish everyday
Then they would be forced to learn to be independant
And viola they would be able to feed themselves
Because they have learned to fend for themselves
But are we doing that !!!!
SALAM SEJAHTERA TUN,
THIS IS MY FIRST COMMENT TO YOUR BLOG. ACTUALLY TO SOLVE THE MERITOCRACY ISSUE IS VERY SIMPLE. HAVING STAYED AND STUDIED IN SINGAPORE AND UNITED STATES YEARS AGO, THE ANSWER IS EITHER YOU BEAT THE SYSTEM OR CHANGE THE WHOLE SYSTEM.
MY EVERLASTING COMMENT ON THESE 3 RACES ARE, MALAYS ARE DILIGENT AND HARDWORKING BUT ARE TOO GIVING, CHINESE ARE OPPURTUNIST AND CUNNING BUT TOO GREEDY, INDIANS ARE GOOD IN TALKING BUT UNTRUSTWORTHY.
THIS WHOLE TROUBLE STARTS WHEN NO UMNO GUYS HAVE THE GUTS TO BECOME A GOOD POLITICIAN AND ADMINISTRATOR, MCA AND MIC ARE STILL LAZY TO ATTEND THE GRASSROOTS.
MY ASSUMPTION ON THE NEXT ELECTION IS BN WILL WIN BUT PR WILL BE STRONGER IN SABAH AND SARAWAK. HOPE WE WILL LIVE LONGER TO BEHOLD THE FUTURE.
SELAMAT BERJUANG
To Buyong, who said;
“If only Najib did not introduc[e] 1Malaysia slogan, all these racial talks will not be happen[ing]”
Thank you for the biggest joke I’ve heard so far about ‘1Malaysia’. Please get a brain scan done soon. Oh wait, you’re right. Najib should have let our national unity get torn apart by numbskulls who doesn’t seem to appreciate the benefits of a well-intentioned slogan like 1Malaysia.
For those who agree with Buyong, may I plea to you to support the good things people do for you, like creating a slogan to unite all Malaysians. If you question Najib’s sincerity, at least don’t be insincere in supporting unity as what you’ve accused him of.
And to you dear Tun, if you call the non-Malays who demand meritocracy ‘racists’ because they only think about their own race when they make that call, and because of that they shouldn’t call Malay-rights group ‘racists’, I don’t think you’re helping much in the discussion here, honestly.
I cannot throw faeces back at you, just because you threw faeces at me first. You may throw more faeces because of my response, and as a result of this, I will throw even more back at you. Can we just stop this childish behaviour now?
[I hope you appreciate my candor. Otherwise, I will sugarcoat my opinions even further. Or flatter you obsequiously like asking God to “prolong your life 4everrr”] Btw, do read Syed’s Outsyed The Box’s take on ‘Merdeka’. Cheers.
Invite the Singapore malay to go to malaysia and built Malaysia 2020.
Singaporean Malay’s talent are not fully unleash in a country that is based on Singapore’s modified meritocracy…
In a way, their next generations would be an asset to the countries development due to their understanding of the importance of education….
The strength of the malays have always been unity, creativity, technical, ethics and morality.
And all the malaysian chinese who are dissatisfied with malay’s right in malaysia or those who are creating problems for malaysia should come to Singapore….
so that the malaysian chinese, singapore chinese and china chinese can cheat each other and prying on each other weakness to get rich…
leaving Singapore in debt and economic ruins…..
With unhappy Malaysian chinese out of malaysia….
there will be lesser problems and the economy will be much more stable…
Only then, Malaysia would be an likely interest for investment for MNC companies to set up that could rival China….
The marketing plan for Malaysia would be
With ‘ethics and morality’ ….we are not ‘Chinese’
we don’t COPY!!
Merdeka Malaysia!
I wonder why the government never take appropriate actions against the Headmistress who made racial comments about Chinese and Indian students?
She should be jailed/fine. Is this because she’s Malay? Isn’t she racist?
God Bless Malaysia
Assalamualaikum.
1. Selamat Hari Kemerdekaan yang ke 53 kepada semua. lama dah tanah melayu dijajah oleh bangsa inggeris sampai kita lupa yang bangsa melayu sewaktu zaman kesultanan melaka adalah bangsa yang disegani.
2. Jepun tewaskan british sewaktu perang dunia kedua. dari kota bharu hingga ke singapura. Jepun buktikan pada kita bahawa british mampu ditundukkan dengan strategi, peralatan dan kesungguhan yang mencukupi.
3. Bila jepun mengaku kalah, british balik semula ke tanah melayu. darurat diisytiharkan apabila komunis melancarkan perang gerila di seluruh tanah melayu dan membunuh ramai penduduk.
4. askar melayu ditubuhkan untuk bertempur dengan komunis. ramai askar yang terkorban sepanjang darurat. matlamat mereka cuma satu. untuk membebaskan tanah melayu dari kekejaman komunis.
5. penduduk cina dikumpulkan dalam satu penempatan yang dikawal untuk memutuskan bekalan makanan kepada komunis. kawasan putih diisytiharkan di seluruh tanah melayu apabila tiada lagi ancaman dari komunis.
6. Tunku Abdul Rahman melaungkan 3 kali laungan Merdeka pada 31 Ogos 1957. Tanah Melayu bumi merdeka. Perlembagaan tanah melayu di bincangkan dan dipersetujui oleh semua. Kemudian diperkenankan oleh Majlis Raja-raja.
7. We forget that while it’s not easy to get the independence, it is more difficult to protect it. everyone is responsible to ensure that all feel safe to live and stay in Malaysia.
8. I’m a bumiputera malay and we’re doing our best to work out our responsibility. given time, insyaAllah we’ll get bigger slice of the economic pie with the support of our chinese, indian and other bumiputera brother. obviously we need to ensure that the pie is getting bigger as well.
9. currently there’re wave throughout the country especially for young generation after merdeka not to rely solely on paycheck. you see them working for others 5 days a week from 8am to 5 pm but in the same time they explore ways to accumulate wealth and giving back to the people.
10. our parent is either government servant or a farmer. we’re not used working for living as business owner or investor. thanks to the government sponsor for those who can’t afford to go to university, a lot of us now can see, think and understand the bigger picture on malaysia’s economic pie.
11. malaysia is like a house. my dad own the house by himself initially. afterwards, he agreed to share the house with ah chong and raju who migrated from other kampung on condition that the master bedroom stay with his family.
12. after 53 years, all has passed away. Now i share the house with ah chong’s and raju’s son. once a while we argue on something but we manage to discuss and work it out but not until today. Ah chong’s son demanding that the master bedroom is given to those who’ll offer the highest rental. the argument is that all shall be given equal chance because all live in the same house.
13. i’m not sure how the story end. but i know that everyone will play their part to ensure that all feel safe to live and stay in Malaysia with no hatred to each other. InsyaAllah.
Salam Tun,
Saya ni salah seorang peminat Tun sejak saya kecil lagi. Sebabnya saya tengok Tun ni masa jadi PM mmg banyak membantu dalam pembangunan Malaysia. Tahniah dalam bab itu.
Tapi bila bab NEP ni, saya tengok dan saya rasa ianya boleh dikatakan gagal. Kerana terlalu banyak disalahguna (saya ada bukti, tapi tak perlu dikatakan disini). Pada pendapat saya, orang Melayu sekarang sudah menjadi terlalu selesa duduk di atas “sofa leather” yang kerajaan berikan. Pengalaman saya di MRSM, melihatkan ramai sahabat handai melayu yang tidak langsung mengendahkan pelajaran. Malah pengalaman saya di kompeni Jepun juga mempamerkan kebanyakan melayu tidak aktif dan secara senang saya cakap “Lembab”.. Saya sedih.
Saya sebagai orang Melayu, merasakan mungkin kita patut mengolah kembali NEP itu. Tidak perlu lagi kita habiskan berbillion RM untuk membuat projek mega khas untuk bumiputera. Tidak perlu lagi kita memberi diskaun rumah 7% kepada bumiputera. Sebaliknya alihkan ‘fund’ ini untuk membaiki masalah utama orang melayu yakni, untuk membaiki dan membentuk sahsiah yang lebih positif, kompetitif/berdaya saing di peringkat global dan ‘independent’.
Kerajaan yang asyik memberi benefit2 yang sebenarnya berupa “cash” ini adalah satu tindakan yang membuta tuli. Ianya seolah2 kita mengisi air ke dalam baldi yang bocor. Bila diisi, habis tumpah keluar. Makanya, baldi itu tidak penuh, dan TIDAK AKAN PENUH sampai bila bila.
Jadi saya ingin sarankan Tun pegi suruh PM Dato Najib utk mengolah NEP utk lebih concentrate kepada pembaikpulihan baldi baldi tersebut supaya tidak bocor, teguh dan berkilat2.
Melayu Baru Mesti Bangkit.
Assalamualaikum WBR buat Ayahnda Tun & Bonda serta pengunjung,
saya sayangkan anak bangsa saya & selalu mencabar mereka bersaing dgn bukan melayu secara bijak tapi berhemah. adakah saya rasis?
meritokrasi adalah satu hadiah kepada rakyat yang semakin bijak. sayangnya mereka yg semakin bijak kini kembali menjadi penentang tegar kepada anugerah yg diberi?
setuju dgn rozi66. jika dilihat senarai penuntut yang berjaya mencapai kecemerlangan setiap kali peperiksaan kebelakangan ini, pelajar melayu tidak kurang handalnya & kerapkali mendominasi kedudukan tertinggi dlm hirarki pelajar terbaik.
namun kecemerlangan ini tidak dapat diterjemahkan dlm pencapaian ekonomi negara. bila tiba ke lapangan ekonomi, yang menjadi juara ialah kaum bukan melayu yang walaupun tidak secemerlang pelajar melayu tapi bijak menjalankan perniagaan & mencari keuntungan.
di mana silapnya? adakah meritokrasi pelajar melayu hanya di atas kertas2 sijil/ijazah? adakah pelajar2 melayu hanya pandai di peringkat universiti tapi bila memasuki bidang pekerjaan terutamanya berkaitan ekonomi mereka hilang arah?
jika diperhatikan, pelajar2 melayu seolah2 tidak sedar ‘kuasa’ kemahiran asas perniagaan & komunikasi asas dlm perniagaan. secara mudah saya katakan senario begini: 2 bekas pelajar saya berniaga kad pra-bayar. bekas pelajar melayu akan menunggu saya membuka mulut meminta perkhidmatan darinya mungkin kerana ‘segan’ cikgu berkunjung ke gerai kecil yg diusahakannya. namun bekas pelajar bukan melayu akan terus menyapa, menganjurkan tawaran2 istimewa & menampakkan betapa mahirnya dia dalam mengendalikan kedai telekomunikasinya & menggaji beberapa pekerja yg sama muda dgnnya….
mungkin saya bias dlm hal ini tetapi apa yg ingin saya tonjolkan di sini ialah kurangnya kepentingan komunikasi asas di tekankan kepada pelajar2 melayu. kerapkali mereka hanya diberi penerangan bagaimana nak menjalankan perniagaan dgn konsep teori yg berlebihan semasa pengajian atau kursus. internship atau amali tidak dilakukan secara sistematik terutamanya jika ianya melibatkan pelajar2 yang tidak begitu cemerlang.
saya pernah bertanya pelajar saya yang menjalani kursus culinery/penyajian makanan di sebuah pusat pengajian swasta & katanya dia hanya diarahkan untuk mengikut apa saja yang senior dia buat, jgn banyak bertanya/kurang bercakap & dalam banyak keadaan dia hanya menjadi tukang hidang sahaja. saya tanya bila berlatih bercakap dengan pelanggan2? terperanjat saya bila dia kata nanti peluang akan datang bila dia mula bekerja! wadusss…
inilah hakikat yg perlu kita terima. pelajar2 kita kadangkala tidak memberi perhatian yg serius terhadap keperluan asas perniagaan & komunikasi asas dlm perniagaan. mungkin sudah sampai masanya mereka didedahkan kepada selok belok perniagaan secara lebih sistematik & meluas, menembusi semua bidang ekonomi dari yg sekecil2nya hinggalah yg besar. jika diberi bimbingan yg betul secara lebih giat lagi, pelajar2 melayu akan menjadi lebih maju & berketrampilan di semua bidang, dgn syarat mereka mesti mengubah sikap!…
Semuga Allah SWT memberkati Ayahnda Tun & Bonda serta semua pengunjung budiman.
Wassalam.
just my brain wave…
WHY MALAYS CANNOT BE SUCCESSFUL WITH HOW THEY ARE NOW
Salam Tun,
How are you ? Hope everything is well. I want to share my thoughts with you on this issue. I am an ex-civil servant having left service about 6 months ago. Prior to that I was with a private engineering consultancy firm.
I know the above headline may most likely attract criticism and be shrugged off as rubbish by some parties, nonetheless I want my thoughts to be heard. Being with the private sector has thought me many things about the world; working hard, long hours, meeting deadlines, going beyond the call of duty and submitting the highest quality of work on time. You have to achieve your goals and targets regardless of whatever hurdles or obstacles ahead…
So when I joined government service, I naturally brought along this work culture with me. Alhamdulilah, I met with good success in the 3 years that I was in service and brought some attention to myself. Unfortunately for me, little did I know that whatever success that I achieved at that time, was not well received by some department members who are more “senior” than myself and who have been in service for a longer number of years (way longer). In fact I initially tried to get some them (especially the younger ones) involved in some of the things that I was doing, at least for the sake of knowledge sharing and self-development. Unfortunately, most of the time the replies that I received were “sibuk lar”…. “takda masa”… etc. etc. Anyway to cut a long story short, attempts were made to block my activities by these people who held a higher authority. When I decided to meet up with the “big boss” to convey what was going on, all he told me was “You have to manage perception”. I don’t really know what that meant, nonetheless I just got tired of it and decided to tender my resignation. Regardless of whatever I say, they will always try to find a way round it and make me look like bad guy.
The point of the story is this Tun, when I was in the private sector, which organization consists of Malaysians from multi-racial backgrounds, working hard and striving to do your best was applauded and commended. In the public sector, whose officers are primarily Malay bumis, such practices seemed to be perceived as an attempt to “potong line”. I’m not saying that office politics do not exist in private organizations, they do, but at the end of the day its the performance that counts. As long as our Malay people have this “ketam batu”, “dengki” and complacent attitude, our community is not going to go anywhere.
To me, Allah is Great, and He teaches us to be pure of heart and sincere in all our undertakings, as well to be good to your neighbor and pray for their well-being. To me, this a very important and fundamental virtue that is lost in our Malay/Muslim culture today, amidst our infatuation over what is “halal” and “haram”, as well as whether a non-Muslim should be permitted to enter surau or not.
That’s my story Tun, I want to see my race succeed; working hard and striving to be the best, it seems is not sufficient anymore, we need to be more than that, of as you to eloquently put it, “a change in culture”.
Regards.

http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=432073840741&id=586500176
we see less bumis are handling the corporate leaders, and less bumis in numbers everywhere…
haha tun wants to be robin hood but i suggest that there should be a 1malaysia council which includes all races with equal amount of committee members, eg. 2 from every race, not just the big 3 but also the minorities and they should be funded properly so that they can decide together what should be done in cases related to the multiple races of our country =) ooh yeah and another thing why are malays=bumiputeras? i am quite confused as if we actually sit down and read about the true history of the land, we cannot determine who the true bumiputeras are because i think there is no such thing and besides that why has the history of our country been altered so much especially since the time you were in power?
Salam Kemerdekaan Tun,
Semoga usaha Tun diberkati dan diberi petunjuk oleh Nya.
Andaian Sesetengah Bangsa PERLU diberi hak sama rata hanya kerana mereka telah membantu meng’kaya’kan negara kita adalah SANGAT2 TIDAK BOLEH DITERIMA!… percaya atau tidak, bangsa tersebut telah menerima ganjaran sewajarnya sehingga mereka telah membolot kebanyakan kekayaan negara. Adakah itu semua tidak mencukupi?
Negara sudah maju tetapi rata-rata orang Malayu masih lagi mundur??? Cuba lihat, bangsa manakah yang paling ramai menikmati kemajuan dan kekayaan negara selama ini. Apakah guna kemajuan negara jika bangsa asing yang dapat menikmatinya???
Sesungguhnya jika pemimpin Melayu kini masih gagal untuk membela nasib orang Melayu… tidak salah jika suatu hari nanti kita bukan sahaja hilang kuasa ekonomi… tetapi juga segala-galanya.
Jurang antara kaum yang kini semakin berkurangan telah menampakkan jurang nya semula. jika tindakan segera tidak diambil, maka sia-sia lah usaha NEP selama puluhan tahun itu.
Semoga usaha berterusan Tun memperjuangkan nasib bangsa tidak akan mengenal erti penghujung atau pun putus asa.
rakyat biasa
Tun,
I understand what you are trying to do with NEP but the you have to admit that NEP has created below problems:
1. Lack of needs to create and build things – why need to work when the chinese keep on giving easy money to pay for the 30% bumi requirements! that’s why there are so many genuine bumi companies are so fed-up with current government as they are genuinely trying to build things but these UMNO politician with their chinese friend keep on winning the deals!
2. Become lazy and laid back – Who want to work?? Bumi can collect monthly director fees without doing anything!!! I have heard a Tuan Haji that got bunch of taxi licenses but he rent it all out to chinese to drive. I was told he is collecting RM 20k/month for just being a bumi! Pity the chinese drivers who has to do all the hardship but only getting RM 3k/month.
3. Can’t stand on our own two feets – hey! government always come go help and provide protection..
4. Lack of Innovation – who want to innovate when it is more important for us to be bumi status company and find a good sub-contractor to partner with.
5. Corruption – this is the worst of all. With the government need to groom the Bumi, politician has use this Bumi status excuse to get the project. So, all the businessman job now is to find the right politician to partner/bribe in order to get the project.
Tun, you can see if that your good intention has made the Malay backwards, lazy and not competitive and not to talk about the corruption caused by the politician.
Tun, we need to practise meritocracy for the survival of Malay and Malaysia!!
Salam buat Ayahanda Tun…
1. Sebab apa DEB terpaksa dilahirkan..? Kalau tak silap fakta sejarahnya, kerana rusuhan kaum sebab ada kaum tak puas hati kerana ketidak-seimbangan dalam banyak hal. Dan sebab apa Hindraf muncul dan menjadi-jadi di kala ini..? Rasanya juga sebab yang sama, walaupun ia dikalutkan oleh sebilangan penduduk minoriti sahaja.. Harap-harap janganlah yang menjadi majoriti juga akan bangun kemudian nanti..
2. Hanya orang Melayu di bandar dan yang dah merasai nikmat sebenar DEB sahaja yang kini menolak DEB. Keperluan kaum pribumi lain yang duk kat pendalaman yang anak-anaknya lebih berminat mencari ikan laga dan membantu ibu-bapa mengutip getah beku ini juga hendaklah diambil kira. Pergilah ke pendalaman sana. Kalau tak kerana DEB, anak-anak ini tak akan mendapat pelajaran. Contoh paling klasiknya, jika ikutkan meritokrasi sepenuhnya, tak ramai anak kampung/pribumi yang layak masuk universiti belajar aliran sains dan jadi cikgu sains atau matematik (orang melayu dikhabarkan bodoh dalam subjek ni..!), katalah bakal cikgu graduan universiti melalui meritokrasi ni kemudiannya dapat posting kat kawasan ulu-ulu tempat jin bertendang. Nak ke anak tauke-tauke, doktor atau peguam lahir dan membesar kat bandar tu pergi jadi cikgu ke tempat-tempat macam ni…? Nak keluar ke bandar pun sekali sepenggal. Tak sampai seminggu, mesti dah cabut lari… Kesudahannya, anak-anak (cikgu) berasal dari kampung (hasil DEB)jugalah yang kembali mengajar di pendalaman.. Fikir-fikirkanlah hak orang lain yang kekurangan peluang ini… Biarlah bertempat..
3. Kalau tak kerana DEB, rasa-rasanya ramai lagi rakyat negara ni di pendalaman yang bercawat… Sebabnya lagi, jalan-jalan luar bandar pun tak perlu dibina… Orang di bandar yang bayar cukai, gunakanlah duit cukai di di bandar sahaja, tak adillah nak dibelanjakan kat luar bandar.. Orang di pendalaman, biarlah naik rakit sahaja kalau nak ke bandar, dia orang bukan reti tengok kereta…! Lagi pun anak-anak tauke tak ada pun keinginan nak bekerja kat pendalaman, kecuali tauke beli gaharu atau rotan manar…

“Saya hairan kenapa Badan Islam Kerajaan seperti MUIS,JAKIM mengeluarkan sijil Makanan Halal pada orang Kafir.”
I pun hairan. My neighbour is Malay and muslim supplying ayam kampung proses to hypermarket and up to now JAKIM will not give my friend the halal logo. All the other suppliers are non-Muslim and all have the halal logo. The reason JAKIM says is that the logo must meet the requirements of veterinar dept and other depts as well. To meet those requirements (which technically are not related to ‘halal’ per se) means big capital.
So, every step we Malays move, we are being pulled back. Even JAKIM is pulling us small malay businesses back. Why can’t a muslim get the halal logo? Tun, can you please ask JAKIM what type of new fangled mazhab they are imposing that says a muslim’s ayam proses can only be halal if it has haccp certificate, gmp, iso 9002 and what not!
AS USUAL!
MORE CRAP.
And because of all those happenings, we’re now far behind from the race of the Asian country in development. We will soon come close to Myanmar. You created ‘tongkat ali’ but you didn’t prepare for the ‘backfire’ outcome.
SALAM AYAHANDA TUN SEMOGA BERADA DALAM SIHAT SEJAHTERA HENDAKNYA…
SELAMAT MENYAMBUT KEMERDEKAAN YANG KE-53…
Setelah 53 tahun merdeka… pelabagai kejayaan yang diceburi… saya berasa amat bangga menjadi warganegara malaysia… saya yang dahulunya lemah… menjadi begitu semangat apabila negara ini mula maju kehadapan… saya amat berbangga mempunyai pemimpin negara yang berkebolehan seperti Tun.. seorang doktor yang mempunyai kebolehan dari aspect ekonomi serta pelabagai… memacu pembanggunan negara… dan sering membantu orang melayu… sedikit pun Tun tidak pernah jemu cuba untuk menaikkan bangsa tun sendiri… saya sentiasa ingat bagaimana Tun melaungkan Puisi “MELAYU MUDAH LUPA”… yang sebenarya melayu patut ingat kembali sejarah silam bangsa nye… akan tetapi politik di malaysia tidak kira di dalam parti umno ataupun pas,pkr masih lagi mahukan kuasa bukan nya kemajuan… yang kaya semakin kaya.. yang miskin semakin miskin… alangkah sedihnya bila melihat bangsa sendiri mundur dan tidak sedar dengan perubahan zaman yang semakin mencabar… kita lihat cina dan india serta indonesia sekalipun sedang cuba gerak maju kehadapan.. negara yang kita lihat paling jelas adalah cina.. dimanakah MALAYSIA..??? renungkan… saya lihat sendiri di uiam ramai pelajar melayu itu sendiri jauh terpinggir daripada pelajar asing yang lebuh mendominasi pelajaran… walaubagaimanapun saya masih berbangga kerana masih ada pelajar melayu yang terus bersemangat untuk terus berjaya… pada saya isu bumiputera dan bukan bumiputera perlu di bincangkan secara tertutup kerana jika isu ini dapat diselesaikan tanpa pengetahuan umum… kerajaan dapat memastikan kestabilan yang berterusan dan perpaduan di negara ini terus kukuh… saya pasti pasti sentiasa ada “SINAR SETELAH HARAPAN MULA PUDAR”… bangunlah malaysia untuk semua….(^_^)
“I am not racist but I am just trying to be practical for those who dislike our policy. ”
Wellsaid, when the world trade organisation(WTO) talk to Malaysia : “I am not Bias but I am just trying to be practical for those who dislike our policy. ”
And non Malay Malaysian will suffer ….? those non Malay Malaysian go offshore to seek for business opportunitie are labelled as non Patriotic! When they earned money, they are labelled as “Jewish”!
Malay is good in compete in small cake(Malaysia) rather compete in bigger cake(the World)?
Malaysia crude oil is depleting fast! Time is short for Malaysian Malay to ask for tongkat. When the time come, ALL MALAYSIAN will be sufferred! The world don’t discrete you as a Malaysian Malay, Malaysian Chinese, Malaysia Indan, Malaysian Iban, Malaysian Kadasan …..blabla….! FTA consider you ALL as a whole, MALAYSIAN!
New World Economy Colonisation is ticking fast for Malaysia.
If you are poor and weak, then you’ll go extinct!
Charles Darwin’s Natural Selection
Like world food crisis. It affected most to those unproductive population or to those scholars that have know how knowledge in changing and feeding the world?
Research and development, Solar power, wind power, renewable power. Effectiveness in Food production and Healthcare… All this is Meritocracy.
Mastering yourself in Knowledge! Be wise and smart when facing the reality which from abroad and from nature.
Meritrocracy is racist? Caste is racist …..? or ignorant and arrogant is racist??
For those hardcore may keep the belief until being colonised again!(not by own Malaysian but by the world reality)
You may rob others belonging, but you may never rob others’ initiative and knowledge.
Tun, I believe it has been quite a thought provoking week for many people. This is to be expected as the issue of the adoption of meritocracy (or rather the lack of it) is so interwoven with the fabric of the state policy, especially for a nation with as diversified ethnic groups as Malaysia where state sponsored and state enforced social engineering is vast at work. The week that passed could not have been more appropriately timed with the Merdeka spirit very much in the air when much nostalgia of the old days when Tengku and many other Malaysian leaders forged the very foundation for the co-operation of the many races in this country and subsequently gained the right to self rule is so easily rekindled.
I would have no hesitation in arguing that NEP in all its nitty-gritty was well conceived and the benefits that it brought cannot be denied. Even if I am to be blamed for advancing a cause contrary to the good of the ethnic group where I belong to, I would not have hesitation in putting forward a good case for NEP. Sometimes this lonesome feeling when I show my support for such a cause when I am with brothers from my own ethnic group gives me the eerie feeling of discomfort not unlike the feeling of Mr Barack Obama when he overheard his grandmother complaining about a black person demanding money from her at a bus stop and how she hated black people because of that as in Dreams From My Father by Mr Barack Obama; not unlike the feeling of dilemma when Gandhi offered prime ministership to Mohammad Ali Jinnah with all the possibility of incurring the wrath of the Indian communities where he belonged to as depicted in the film on Gandhi; not unlike the feeling of loneliness at the rostrum when Tun gave a diatribe against the Malay for failing to achieve the goals of NEP despite years of implementation. Tun, believe me there are really people who can come across the ethnic divide to support the arguments of the people from the opposite divide. And, Tun I have the gumption and the audacity to say that NO one with the right thinking mind will object to the good intention of what NEP is supposed to achieve. NO one with the right thinking mind will deny the instability of a nation if its economy is controlled by a minority ethnic group. Even the staunchest opponents to NEP among my friends agree whole heartedly about the NEP
You can get facts on how malays in Singapore are systematically marginalised from the book ‘The Singapore Dilemma -The Political & Educational Marginality of the Malay Community’ by Lily Zubaidah Rahim to shed some light. She is the daugther of S’pore’s 1st president. To me, it all bores down to SINCERITY. Pre-May 1969 the chinese is well ahead of the malays (head start thanks 2 the british divide & rule policy which left the chinese controlling the economy post merdeka) but did little to help/share this wealth with the other races. Some even tried to maintain their economic dominance thru various means 2 maintain this hegemony. Just think about it: in a marathon, if u are allowed, by arrangements perpertrated by the organisers of the marathon, to run well ahead of other participants while the others are not, wouldn’t that be called cheating? The other participants will have to run twice (or 3x, 4x who knows) as fast to actually catch up. Will it not boil discontentment among the rest of the participants? But the chinese (mostly the DAP…sister party to the PAP) in Malaysia are too ingnorant to know this which leads 2 their KIASU attitude. No doubt they are hard working people but is it fair for the other races to work 10x as hard as the chinese just to remain visible economically? Maybe if they showed more sincerity in sharing the economic ‘pie’ then the NEP would have been non-existent. So to me, meritocracy has its pros & cons just like the NEP.
Islam has a nice way of putting this in perspective. Yes the wealthy is wealthy because they work hard for it (though not all) but part of that wealth belongs 2 the poor(thru zakat). This will instil prosperity as a wide divide (which will give rise 2 jealousy, unrest etc) between the poor & rich will collapse. It will also strengthen ties among us (out of appreciation). It also instil that the larger community is more important than ME,ME,ME. So that in every individual there is this caring attitude towards people around who are in need. However, the chinese being confucian, has this tendency ‘you scratch my back & I’ll scratch on yours’; otherwise u can piss off/u just have to buckup attitude. The very policy of Singapore under the PAP. P/S the PAP is a multiracial party but DOMINATED by chinese…can be seen by their manifestos & gov policies.

‘The Charade of Meritocracy’ by Michael D. Barr commenting on Singapore’s supposedly Meritocratic system.
As’kum Tun,
Meremang bulu roma saya bila baca baris-2 terakhir artikel Tun ni. Jika mereka tidak nampak kebenaran itu, tak tahulah nak cakap. Yang sebenarnya mereka tak tahu yang Tun juga masih sayang dan menjaga kepentingan mereka di tanahair kita ini. Jika terjadinya rusuhan kaum disebabkan oleh satu bangsa yang mundur didalam sebuah negara, maka bangsa yang lain walaupun mereka maju akan menerima musibah dari keadaan tersebut. Harta kekayaan yang dikumpul juga akan hancur. Cubalah berfikir cara Tun, disamping menjaga kepentingan diri…… kepentingan orang lain pun turut sama dijaga. Walaupun ininya nampak seperti menidakkan hak yang lain tetapi cuba perhalusi sesuatu masalah itu dengan teliti. NGO Cina / NGO Melayu, Dewan Perniagaan Cina / Dewan Perniagaan Melayu, Presiden MCA dan masyarakat Malaysia……. anda tidak boleh melawan pengetahuan dan cara memenuhi hak semua kaum dari orang yang sudah mentadbir negara kita Malaysia selama 22 tahun. Diakhir sekali, wakil dari setiap kaum telah meneliti keputusan sebelum termaktubnya Perlembagaan Persekutuan ketika negara mencapai kemerdekaan tahun 1957 dahulu. Adakah mereka tidak rasist pada waktu itu? Kenapa mereka boleh bersetuju??? Merdeka..! Merdeka..! Merdeka..!
Dear Tun,
NTV7 today noon time interviewed a resident of Kampung Baru.
She said in the 1969 incident she heard a race went into the cinema.
I also heard when I was young, the same story, but it was not that race, but another race.
So, different people heard different story. But the fact is, only one side of the story is often told to a particular race. How can this forge unity among the people?
Regardless of whatever race, even if that really happened,
(1) it was due to a reaction to an action that happened earlier. And, even if that was a reaction,
(2) it could be carried out by a very small number of people compared to the vast majority of people who are peaceloving. And even if that was the case,
(3) it happened half a century ago. When Malaysia was still young.
Why NTV7 is not giving a fair platform for both sides to air their view? If what she said wasn’t true, or partially true, it was such an injustice to the majority of that race mentioned.
“Saya hairan kenapa Badan Islam Kerajaan seperti MUIS,JAKIM mengeluarkan sijil Makanan Halal pada orang Kafir.”
If trading must be “Islamic” then no point we sign the FTA agreement.
Why trading with orang kafir …?

Nowadays, Most Islamic Politician not only using camera, they use video too ….
Meritocracy is not about agama, bangsa or negara …. is about “Jihad”. A War within yourself.
But if you treated “Jihad” as agama, bangsa and negara , then it’s about war among individual.
Don’t just give them fish, teach them how to fish.
Don’t just give them food, teach them how to farm.
Don’t just give them medicine, teach them how to cure.
Don’t just give them the “truth”, teach them how to seek for the truth!
Race discrimination is irrelevant.
One day I may fall into a river and the person who save me could be a Malay, Chinese, Indian, Jews, or any race.
Meritocracy is relevant.
If no meritocracy, our public facilities will be maintained by third-world mentality. Pot holes/ manholes can be found anywhere. Roads broken and no repair. Any of us, regardless of whether you are Indian, Chinese or Malay, or our parents, or our children, may fall victim if they drive into these holes.
I want to watch merdeka celebration. I tried to search the schedule, and found only a hacked website of a TV station.
Google it and can’t find the time the show will be on-air.
If there is no meritocracy, the system won’t work. No matter how much money spent on a good show, it will be wasted if the person in charge not even know how to let the public know about the air-time.
Meritocracy is for the sake of everyone!
Tun, you can’t compare European and Chinese. If Cheng Ho was a European, the history would have completely changed. You see..
Now the country has the best chance to retain the best and make them work for everyone. If again this opportunity is missed, we may become a failed state.
Pity of those blind people who fall into the manholes because there’s no meritocracy.
Frankly, I like people of the other races, just some of the extremist sucks! If not because of those remarks, many rich businessman would not have transferred money out of this country.
Assalammualaikum Tun,
Kindly allow me to have my say in the current topic.
1. Before 1948, China was a land of chaos , civil strife , wars and famine. The foreign powers were robbing the country with the assistance of corrupt mandarin and the foreign business houses and the Chinese triad were slowly killing the people with opium. The disparity between the rich and the poor were so vast that the offspring of the poor has no chance to better their lives which led to chaos, civil strife and wars. They were destitute from the womb to the grave. Some became destitute as a result of the wars, civil strife or famine. As a result, those who could make it, sought greener pastures overseas.
2. One of those destinations sought was the Malay peninsular (i.e present day West Malaysia and Singapore). They entered the country as poor immigrants. The Sultans and the Malays at that time allowed them into their midst. They were free to find wealth in a peaceful environment. At the same time, due to the policy of the colonialist British at that time, they were given opportunities in civil service, public sector and commerce. Modern education was provided for their offspring by the British. The Malays were displaced in these fields. It was the intention of the British to groom the Malays to become farmers for the rest of their life, except the Malay elite (the Sultans and Malay Chiefs and their offspring).
3. At the onset of Malaya
Kerajaan Singapura menpractikan meritrocracy kerana ia merupakan seolah cara yg adil pada semua kaum.Mereka tahu akan kelemahan orang Melayu yg tak akan mampu bersaing dengan system meritrocracy.
Tetapi tetapi jika sekiranya orang melayu mampu bersaing dengan system meritrocracy,Saya YAKIN mereka akan menukar system pada favorism.
Itulah sebabnya LKY sering cuba menghasut Malaysia mempractikan Meritrocacy sebab ia bolih mengugat kedudukan orang Melayu.
Saya sama sekali tak percaya cakap LKY untuk kononnya tujuan beliau ikhlas.Bukti sebenar Kerajaan Singapura langsung tidak upamakan rakyat melayu Singapura.
Satu contoh hanya ada Menteri Hal Ehwal masyarakat Melayu/ISLAM
TAK wujud Menteri Hal ehwal Cina sebagainya,bertujuan mengonkong,
mencekam perjalanan Islam.Contoh Fatwa MIUS mengenai derma organ yg diluluskan.adakah itu fatwa MUIS atau sebaliknya.
Dengan izin Tun,
I would like to share with your readers an experience I had yesterday.
I caution my dear readers that it was not one of those “Petronas” moments!
I was given a parking ticket by one of the enforcement officers from the majlis perbandaran kelang for not parking at the proper designated parking in Klang. Having explained that I did parked my van at the designated place earlier and paid for the parking ticket, I had parallel parked my vehicle for a short while as I had to load the items that I had purchased from the nearby hardware store.
Making a long story short, having strenuously explained my predicament, the enforcement officer stood firm and I was still issued with a ticket.
I then immediately proceeded to the municipal building to pay my summons. Having explained my case to the officer in charge, she promptly got her superior to give me a 50% discount from the actual fine. The officer further explained courteously that if I wish to state my case further I will then have to write in officially to have the ticket cancelled.
Not being totally happy with the situation but at the same time partially satisfied that my explanation brought some reduction in the fine, I proceeded to make the payment at the counter.
It was on the way out that I observed a young lady and met with a middle age gentlemen.
We started talking about our matter particularly with the topic of being fined/ summoned by the majlis perbandaran for parking offences.
It was here that suddenly the gentlemen passed a shocking comment “…you see if it was THEIR own race THEY can get it set aside without having to pay a sen!… “. Suffice for me to share with you this comment alone (I will not publish the rest as it is not very nice to hear).
Shocked by the statement, I then thought about my own case… I did get a 50% discount after all..

Dearest YAB Tun,
smekom tun…
saya pernah dengar tun memberi tahu “sesuatu dasar adalah baik tapi yang membuatkan dasar itu tidak baik adalah pelaksana dasar yang xbaik”saya amat bersetuju dgn kata tun ini,banyak org melayu yang masih miskin,tp ramai jgk yang dh kaya melangit,terutama org politik(pembangkang pn sama),wakil rakyat,org kanan kerajaan dan menteri2.kalau di buat kira2 semestinya harta die org ni x masuk akal dgn pendapatan rasmi mereka.hampir semua dari mereka adalah pelaksana dasar,jadi x hairanlah kalau banyak kebocoran&rasuah dalam pentadbiran,cara nk selesaikan saya rasa tun mungkin adalah pakar dlm hal ini,jd janganlh tumpukan pada yang umum je,tompok2 hitam kecil dlm pentadbiran pun mesti di padam sedikit demi sedikit lama2 jd bukit,macam mana?Tun mesti ada jawapannye,kalah dalam pilihan raya xpe,kalau kalah bermaruah(mesti xkalah banyak)tp kalau kalah dgn skandal mesti tunggang langgang lepas ni,contoh cam tony blair.kami rakyat yang hina ini hanya mengharapkan Allah s.w.t dan tun sahaja untuk sedarkan pemimpin sekarang,sbb suara kami ini mcm x laku je,mcm anjing menyalak bukit.Dan yang terakhir sekali kerajaan/BN perlu buat kajian sedalam2nye(dibuat oleh pakar2 bukan pengampu2)supaya bunyi flip-flop xberbunyi lagi(cth:saman ekor),tolonglh buat kerja betul2.jgn takut pada kekalahan kalau anda betul2 benar,(flip-flop menempakkan kerajaan xde pendirian@takut walaupun benda tu adalah betul(cth:GST)=buat kajian pakar dulu)
Assalamualaikum Tun.
Selamat Merdeka Malaysia!!!
Salam merdeka pada Kamal Ahmad dan juga saing-saing kat sini.

Wah hebatnya!wah hebatnya!wah hebatnya!
Siapa kata nak mengamalkan Islam kena mengucap dua kalimah syahadah dulu?Dr MAZA tak kata pun.
TIADA TUHAN SELAIN ALLAH DAN MUHAMMAD PESURUH ALLAH adalah seberat-berat timbangan.
Terima kasih Tun.
Salam Tun..semoga mengizinkan..
Setuju dengan JB_FROM.
Di masa perang dunia kedua siapa yang amat menderita?Golongan mana?
Apa peranan golongan bangsawan?Betulkah padi yang orang awam yang mereka dapat(?) datangnya dari sawah dan bendang golongan bangsawan?Betulkah ubi kayu yang mnejadi makanan ruji orang awam datang dari kebun dan ladang orang-orang bangsawan(?)..Betulkah banyak penderitaan orang awam di zaman itu telah di bela nasib mereka secara “senyap-senyap” oleh orang-orang bangsawan dengan Jepun?
ATAU?
Nasib orang-orang awam dan bawahan tidak sama dengan nasib orang-orang bangsawan sejak zaman kesultanan melaka..Kehadiran dan kewujudan kami hanya menjadi hamba sahaya orang-orang atasan dan bangsawan..In short we are your cannon-fodder..?
Fast forward.
Muncul seorang pejuang bangsa melayu yang tulin.Mahathir Mohamad.
Bermula dengan tindakan bijak beliau yang meninggalkan amalan perubatan beliau yang hanya dapat menolong segelintir orang bawahan sahaja,beliau berusaha keras untuk menolong lebih ramai golongan..juga menyangka dapat merapatkan jurang di antara golongan atasan dan bangsawan dengan golongan bawahan.
Untuk merapatkan jurang mesti ada perantaraan.Tun ada ciri ini yang tiada pada kebanyakan golongan atasan dan bangsawan.
1)Amanah.
Tanpa amanah bagaimana Tun ada semangat kental dan jatidiri untuk berkhidmat kepada negara dan masyarakat watannya?
2)Enthusiasm( eh apa namanya dalam BM ya? )
Kalau dalam perjuangan, ini sikap yang enggan mengalah kepada lawan.Banyak yang menyangka “kiasu” adalah sebahagian nilai murni..Mungkin tidak..Tun sentiasa cukup bersemangat untuk menukarkan ideanya kepada kenyataan..Hanya mereka yang jujur sahaja yang sanggup mengekalkan “enthusiasm” ini..Tun telah mengekalkannya dari dulu sehingga sekarang..Untuk itu kami amat berterima kasih dan malu juga kerana tidak dapat menyaingi Tun dalam memberi perkhidmatan secara murni dan tulus ikhlas kepada masyarakat.
3)Pembentukkan modal insan.
Biasalah la tu Tun..Tun jadi “lembu”..sapi yang dapat nama!!Tunlah orangnya yang menyediakan infrastruktur untuk pembangunan modal insan terutamanya institusi-institusi pengajian tinggi..Tapi orang lain yang dapat nama..
Membina modal insan..
4)Tun jugalah orangnya yang menerapkan nilai-nilai Islam dalam perkhidmatan..Jasa Tun tidak terkira banyaknya..Macam biasa..Orang lain juga yang dapat nama atas usaha dan penat lelah Tun!!
5)All said and done..
Malangnya..
Di dalam pentadbiran Tun..mereka-mereka yang terdiri daripada think thank Tun dan “inner circle” Tun bukan terdiri daripada golongan hafiz.Di sinilah puncanya umat melayu kerugian..Pembangunan material mereka tidak di iringi dengan nilai-nilai keislam yang tulin.Kita ambil contoh mudah sahaja..
Tun menjemput pemimpin-pemimpin Islam OIC datang bermesyuarat di Malaysia..di mana mesyuarat dan persidangannya??
Di hotel-hotel terkemuka di Kuala Lumpur..
So..? What’s wrong with the picture?
JIWA KEISLAMAN ITU SENDIRI YANG DI CARI..
Amat sukar di temui di hotel-hotel..
Jiwa keislaman merempah ruah di masjid-masjid!!
Itulah kekurangan Tun di dalam pentadbiran!!
Masih belum terlambat Tun..Semua posting Tun hanya melihat dari sudut “sekular” sahaja..
Pada pendapat saya telah tiba masanya kita melihat apa jua isu dari pandangan kesufian..tasawwuf dan mukasyafah..
THE REAL MERIT..
Semoga Yang Berbahagia Tun sudi menimbangkan pendapat saya..
Ribuan terima kasih Tun..
Dear Tun,
Happy Merdeka Day.
Dear Tun,
APA KOMEN TUN TERHADAP:-
1- Gerakan Freemason di Malaysia.
2- Paperwork penubuhan negara malaysia oleh seorang Yahudi.100 tahun sebelum kemerdekaan tanah melayu
3- Punca sebenar Dato Onn Jaafar difitnah.Yang mana sebenarnya beliau adalah pejuang Islam Melayu yang sebenar. Dan beliau sendiri telah dapat menghidu gerakan rahsia Freemason ini.
4- Kegagalan pimpinan Tun dalam membentuk melayu yang perkasa adalah disebabkan polisi perlembagaan Tanah Melayu itu sendiri tidak memungkinkan ianya terjadi kerana British telah mengatur rapi segalanya hinggalah ke hari ini.
Hidup Tun,
Assallammualaikumwarahmatullahiwabarokatuh..
Tun..semoga sudi mengizinkan..

Eh! Macam mana nak terjemah adat “bermaafan” ini dalam bahasa Inggeris. Ada ke tradisi sedemikian bagi Orang Islam dari negara lain ? Mari tanya adik wajaperak !!!]]
Ada bang..tetapi biasanya orang-orang mukmin seluruh dunia terutamanya di Palestin,Kashmir dan mana-mana ‘region hot point’ berpeluk-pelukan dan bermaafan ini bila bertemu dan berpisah..Kerana mereka rasa sayu dan terharu di dalam perjuangan…siapakah yang akan di panggil terlebih dahulu?..Bezanya di Malaysia kita bermaafan setahun sekali sahaja!!
Bahasa Inggeris seperti biasa adalah tidak berkemampuan dengan sepenuhnya untuk menceritakan rasa hati seorang insan muslim apatah lagi konsep bermaafan.Maybe they got it conceptually right but almost inadvertently wrong in the context.
So..the next best thing for “bermaafan” in English is simple as
Forgive and forget…:)
See..the rule of conceptual is applicable but wanting.
The real bermaafan in Islam is simple too from the view and perspective of sufi,tasawwuf and mukasyafah….
Kembali ke asalnya iaitu fitrah..
SEBAB ITU DI PANGGIL AIDIL FITRI!!
Terima kasih abang..
Terima kasih Tun.
Affirmative policies and programs are needed to help those who are poor and underprivileged. They should be based on needs, not on race.

Salam Tun,
I am all for what you stand for, and agree with the points you raised. But you must not remain silent on the shortcomings in the implementation of the NEP. Most of it was implemented during your tenure as PM, you served the longest. By way of constructive criticism, I felt that you diverted too much funds to grand projects such as the Twin Towers and KLIA, which left less money for higher education scholarships. The grand projects benefitted foreign contractors and non-bumi subs. Second criticism, while you are quick to criticize Malays in general for failing to fully take up the opportunities provided by the NEP, you have remained silent on those who grossly abused the opportunities provided to them. You have remained silent on the MAS issue and on the Offshore Patrol Vessel issue. Why? Are these opportunists not traitors to the cause? Your silence and the apparent “protection” given to these traitors leaves a crucial unanswered question in the minds of the Malay electorate. Apakah UMNO benar2 memperjuangkan Bangsa Melayu? Atau sebaliknya, adakah UMNO memperjuangkan hanya segelintir masyarakat Melayu?
Asalamualaikum Tun & bloggers,
*I BEG TO DIFFER, PLEASE MAINTAIN THE N.E.P.*
NEP carried out its purpose althought not perfectly. It requires more time to mature into a perfect policy. I’m one of the product from NEP and it made me into a better man today. Many thanks to you Tun and the team who created it in the first place.
*CHINESE THINKS THEY’RE SUPERIOR?*
Undoubtedly they’re excellent in many fields; such as economics and education. But bear in mind, the previous policy maker by our ex-colonial master; the British Empire has created the disparity since 15th century! Immigrants Chinese and Indians were brought into Tanah Melayu in shear numbers to work in mines, rubber estate and towns. The Malays and other Bumiputeras were literally left out to access this wealth. I say the N.E.P. system should be continued for the next 500 years to even the score!
*PLEASE REMOVE N.A.P.!*
Unfortunately, the National Automotive Policy (NAP) has been dragging down the entire local car industry for the past 25 years. Now your crown jewel; Proton starting to post some kind of “untung” it would be great to remove this policy to make way for a leveled playing field for all car brands. The ‘rakyat’ needs better choices in life. Landed property is very expensive to own these days but at least if we can get cheap, better quality and reliable cars (second most expensive investment) that would be a great ease to the financial constraints. Proton has a long way to go but, please do not drag the entire market with you until kingdom comes. We can’t let go of NEP (for now) but at least, let go of NAP as it will benefit everyone. Our public transport still sucks big time (sorry to say) and all of the essential commodities “harga naik” including fuel. Letting go of NAP will surely benefit every “rakyat”.
Diakhir kata, “Selamat Berpuasa Ramadhan”.
Tun, jika lihat trend sekarang, ramai bumiputra yang migrate di luar negara tidak termasuk rakyat Malaysia yang bekerja di sana selepas tamat belajar disana. Jika keadaan ini semakin berlarutan, makan kaum bumiputera akan jadi minoriti di bumi sendiri.

******1. Meritokrasi****
Apakah itu meritokrasi? Istilah meritokrasi diperkenalkan oleh Michael Young seorang ahli politik British dalam tahun 1958 .Young menakrifkan meritokrasi sebagai satu sistem dimana pemilihan dibuat berdasarkan kemampuan(merit/aptitude) dan kebijaksanaan intelligence). Bagaimanapun Michael Young sendiri hentam Tony Blair kerana menyalahguna istilah meritokrasi dalam Akhbar The Guardian(29 June 2001), “Down with meritocracy: The man who coined the word four decades ago wishes Tony Blair would stop using it”.
Di Singapura sistem meritokrasi ala Parti PAP sedang mewujudkan jurang perbezaaan masyrakat diantara kelompok elit dan orang kebanyakan. PM Singapura sekarang dinaikkan melalui system meritokrasi PAP ke? Orang Cina kata
What you prescribe to is an idea that is so far outdated that it will not work anymore. It is getting more and more difficult for Malaysia to compete with the rest of the world whether you like it or not. Unfortunately, the crutch mentality still persists with the majority of the Malay bumis. There are a lot of really smart and capable Malays that lived with me in the USA and can compete with anybody. Why? It is because they know that there is no crutch for them to lean on over here. Either work smart and hard or starve. Alas, Malaysia is a blessed country with so many natural resources and abundance. People are easily contented and leave it ot the will of Allah to survive. There is no need for the bumis to worry and work hard as long as the corrupted rich UMNO people in power give them the leftovers aka special previleges. That has always been the crutch mentality of the people governed by the sultans even going back in time.
Looking at the other side of the coin, the non bumis can leave the Malay bumis alone and let them be what they want to. Look at it as less competetion. Creation of a smaller country within the country of Malaysia is what I’m seeing with the Chinese Malaysians as they know they cannot depend on the government and has to trade among themselves for survival. Unfortunately as thing gets harder and harder, there are more poorer Malaysians of all races now and needs the government’s help. Malaysians must all come together and build a better Malaysia for their future. In the USA, we identify ourselves as Malaysians and not Malay, Chinese or Indian. Malaysians.
Dear Ybhg Tun Mahathir
You are one best example of meritocratic leader. Selamat menyambut Merdeka juga hari ini 31-08 dan cukup2 berehat.
Ybhg Tun, as you know, we are all making assumption that meritocrasy is made in heaven. Do we know as well many underworld gangsterism has long been practicing meritocracy ? A member has to rob banks without being caught, he has to kill his own comrades to keep sanity in the group, and he has to tell lies to everyone outside his group as part of meritocratic loyalty. This gangsterism is most rampant amongst Chinese community, prevailing in Malays and Indian communities. For Ybhg Tun, you are meritocratic leader because many many of your contributions to the country are widely accepted by Malaysian, be it Liberals, Democrats or he
Salam Tun Dr,
Selamat menyambut kemerdekaan diharap Tun berada didalam keadaan sihat walafiat hendaknya.
Ikhlas
Dear Tun,
If I have my way, I would make all the non-bumis to fill up a form, stating their choice; whether to return to the lands of their forefathers or; stay in Malaysia – once taken, a choice of which would compel them to be revoked of their citizenship rights. Let their existence here be equal to those of the Bangladeshis, Pakistanis, Burmese, Nepalese and Indonesians (and mind you, at times, we Malays regard those Indonesians as brothers).
Alang-alang sudah dicop sebagai ‘racist’…
Salam
Tun,
Your son became a billionaire because of racism or meritocracy? Can you please tell us?
Thank you
Assalamualaikum Tun, Selamat Berpuasa dan Selamat Menyambut Hari Kemerdekaan Negara yang ke-53,
Great article! I couldn’t have said it better myself. I think Tun covered all the major areas.
I would like to highlight Tun’s points :
Education
1) There are 60% of bumiputera in IPTA and only 10% bumiputera in private learning institutions.
It must be noted there MORE private learning institutions than IPTAs but there are only 10% bumiputera in these private learning institutions. There has been many calls for more non-Malays entries into IPTAs but what about for bumiputera to enter the private learning institutions since they account to a mere 10%?
Awarding of government contracts
Even with the 5% advantage given to bumiputera contractors, many of the Government contracts DO NOT GO TO THEM because of their LACK OF CAPACITY. Even if they do get, non-bumiputera contractors get MOST of the sub-contracts.
So we can conclude the major beneficiaries of government contracts is actually the non-bumiputras because
1) the bumiputera due not have the capacity to execute the work (something must be done to address this) and
2) even if awarded to a bumiputera, most sub contracts actually go to the non-bumiputra contractors.
Therefore to say that the government contract benefit the bumiputera and not the non bumiputra is UNTRUE.
Awarding of private sector contracts
1)Private sector contracts are BIGGER than government contracts
2)In the private sector the bumiputera contractors get next to NOTHING.
Therefore we can see that in Education, Awarding of government contracts and private sector the real beneficiaries are actually non-bumiputera.
Maybe PERKASA can follow up on this?
Thank you.
Salam Bahagia Tun.
Your latest posting was obviously resultant from the previous “Meritocracy, is it racist”..the many eye-opener replies from the general public about NEP and what’s not.
It appears that the posting have instilled in you some truth points about the NEP, and how other non-bumi have reacted only goes to enforce your realization that NEP have flaws.
The call to review the NEP is not about total removal of the privileges accorded to the bumi. Chinese in majority are business minded, and the matter of factly, not all are successful,filthy rich, or have the capability to venture anywhere outside Malaysia. But nevertheless, they are constantly finding ways on how to go about making a better living for themselves.
They are also a very Malaysians. But when they see that other Asean countries are moving much faster forward than Malaysia, they beckons to ask what have caused the country to slow down. What is it that make the once progressive SEA country to stand still.
In their course of doing so, they have found out that the FDIs were slackening with less and less investors choosing Malaysia. And when they reviewed further, they realized that among the concerns brought out by this investors were some NEP induced requirement for bumis.
For the love of the country, it prompted their leaders to called for a review of the NEP, because they see the opportunity that will be available to Malaysia if the NEP is reviewed. Opportunity of having the country elevated to higher international recognition by means of having a more progressive and dynamic economy.
Tun, and some folks here like Kubakoya have mentioned and acknowledged that NEP actually weakens the race.
Very truth so, as many comments made here are very representative of it. Many are still arguing away blindly that the NEP should not be questioned, and wants all to remain status-quo.
Again and again, many are lamenting on how difficult it is to get employment in the non-bumi establishments (able to speak english, mandarin etc). But they failed to see thru their own inferiority complex why this establishment set such a criteria for employment. Their vision are blindly by racism thoughts. Why?
Well, let me enlighten you.
In such establishment, its only hope of advancing in their business (due to lack of FDIs and constricting economy in Malaysia) is to go abroad. Where else in the world now beside China, that would be the platform to elevate the business if not in China? Although Chinese realized that English is an important language to learn in China, many medium and large companies there still conversed in Mandarin largely in their course of business.
Now you see the reasons behind it? I believe many far visioned folks out there have realized this. That’s why they are sending their children to chinese classes and schools to equip their kids for the future. Why haven’t some of you realize this, for the country instead for yourself?
Even english educated chinese here are picking up mandarin to future equip themselves.
On the NEP, it is not being asked to be totally removed. Its being asked to be reviewed with a possible reduction in the benefits accorded, in order to promote and instill some sense of eagerness, competition, and business minded of the bumi. The gradual reduction must be strategically planned so that the impact will not be so pronounced to the degree of high wealth disparity among other Malaysians thus caused more racial tensions in Malaysia.
If one would have realize, the NEP have actually “benefitted” the non-bumi. Why? Simple. When the NEP is launched, the non-bumi have already seen their future to come. They realized that without hard work, their generations to come will just wittered and disappear from Malaysia. Some affluent ones would have already left to other greener pasture. Some struggling ones will start to pick up the changkols and start plowing the land to earn a living and yet save some for their children’s studies etc.
You see, NEP have actually made these people more resilient, more competitive, and more dynamic in their thinking. They have got no choice because they know where they stand in Malaysia.
And in their hard earned wealth, they are able to send their children to overseas’ universities, not that they like to flaunt their wealth, but because of out of necessities as they knew the quota imposed on local tertiary education is so ever limited to the non-bumi. For the less wealth-ed, they scrape and borrow from private firms and thus was in-debted for life until the children could find a good work to later on pay back the loan.
Now, would you think these non-bumis would pick up the changkols to plow the land if the Gov.have promised them of a golden future without much requirement and restrictions?
Lets take the oil rich Arabs and Brunei’s citizens for example. How much have they progressed in the world in terms of exporting their non-oil exports products internationally? They are perhaps more of an importer of goods and services, and large consumers than producers. When you hardly need to work to earn a living, you see no need in work or be ambitious to want to progress onwards.
Bottom line here is this, we need to be less dependent on NEP in order to instill in ourselves and of our children’s some competitiveness mind set, be able to think out of the racism box, and start to want to progress in life with much ambition and drive.
Salam Bahagia Tun.
Dear Tun,
I could not help wanting to respond to the following, so please kindly allow me.
By BuyongAuthor Profile Page on August 30, 2010 11:22 PM
If only Najib did not introduced 1Malaysia slogan, all these racial talks will not be happened.
made me spill my coffee. while true to the point, you have to give the current PM a chance to try a new formula. Alas, to me personally i think it was not at all attractive. i find it very odd to reach out for a number before typing the word malaysia. it’s a bit ackward. it feels like a password.
I propose Progressive Malaysia to be a better phrase. In encompass all levels of society and something everyone can relate to. It is a step before becoming advanced. I would also gladly agree to anything better than my own proposal.
As a ‘progressive’ malay would i agree to meritocracy ? Well, no, because there are still very many malays not included. They have to decide for themselves. If they wish to remain status quo, then they must realise that the help extended to them will slowly dwindle and finally it will be called ‘social welfare’, not new economic policy.
There is still time to catch up. But i think the malays must loose their phobias to do so.
In each race, in each organisation, and in each company, meritocracy is already the usual practice. In the context of social and national matters, i feel meritocracy should not lead, in much the same way i feel that a rich man should not lead. I always prefer a wise system, and a wise man, preferably with a heart attached.
Meritocracy as we all know has simply no heart at all. And evil illusion.
Assalamualaikum Tun..
Sebenarnya saya sendiri dah tak tahu dengan semua isu perkauman ni.Saya betul-betul letih dengan semua isu perkauman.Ramai non-bumiputera sebenarnya yang tak puas hati terutama dengan sistem pendidikan di negara kita.mereka kata sistem pendidikan di malaysia tidak adil.Non bumiputera betul-betul mahukan pihak pembangkang menang kerana mereka mahukan perubahan di negara kita.Saya sendiri tak tahu nak komen apa.
TUN,
Saya tak tahu betul ke tak.Tapi saya yakin orang melayu sangat takut andai malaysia menjadi seperti singapura.dan saya sendiri tidak mahu malaysia menjadi seperti singapura.mereka asyik menuntut hak mereka.dan kita mempertahankan hak kita.
tapi,bolehkah mereka jamin yang mereka tidak akan menindas melayu andai kata mereka berada di atas??saya takut kita akan menjadi hamba di bumi kita sendiri.Tapi saya tak mahu sentuh pasak hal ini.tapi saya rasa semua orang islam patut bersatu bukan sahaja melayu islam tepati cina muslim dan indian muslim serta bumiputera muslim.
tun,
saya hargai jasa tun buat malaysia.saya sedar betapa susahnya menjadi seorang perdana menteri negara yang multiracial and multireligion.Saya percaya andai kata British membawa masuk Cina muslim dan indian muslim ke malaysia sudah tentu isu perkauman tidak dibangkitkan kerana dalam islam semua adalah sama.
kerana saya tidak pernah memandang cina muslim dan india muslim sebagai cina dan india.tapi, saya memandang mereka sebagai islam, saudara saya sendiri.
tun, saya baru hidup 18 tahun di dunia ni.saya takut melihat masa hadapan saya.apa akan jadi kepada malaysia agaknya.adakah 50 tahun lagi malaysia akan tetap sama??
tun,saya tak tahu betul atau pun tak.tapi adakah tun mempertahankan hak melayu kerana tun tahu kebanyakkan masyarakat cina adalah berkemampuan?saya yakin mereka berkemampuan kerana saya belajar di kolej swasta dan saya nampak mereka adalah majoriti di situ dan kebanyakan membawa kereta ke kolej.entahlah tun.saya pun tak tahu.pengalaman saya terhadap perkara ini masih belum luas.saya belum mampu memberi komen terhadap isu ni kerana saya takut.
tapi, apa-apa pun saya harap malaysia akan aman damai di bawah lembayung islam.di dalam redha Allah.
kalau benar kita mahukan perpaduan, masyarakat melayu,cina dan india perlu bersama di bawah satu bumbung sejak mereka kecil.kalau mereka dipisahkan dan bersama ketika berusia 13 tahun, percayalah mereka tidak akan bersatu.saya dah lihat.schoolmate chinese saya yang bersekolah di sekolah kebangsaan lebih rapat dengan orang melayu berbanding schoolmate saya yang dari sjkc. saya yakin sistem pendidikan mampu menjamin perpaduan di malaysia.
dan juga kita sama-sama memperjuangkan kemerdekaan sistem pendidikan negara ini dari elemen-elemen anti-nasional, demi anak bangsa.
MERDEKA!
Salam Tun dan pembaca semua.
1. Bila Ronnie Liu dari DAP guna surat rasminya untuk beri sokongan kepada kontraktor-kontraktor tertentu yang ada perkaitan dengan dirinya, seluruh masyarakat CINA DAP dan MELAYU PAS dan PKR senyap dan sepi. TAK BERBUNYI APA-APA. KENAPA?
2. RASUAH dalam PAKATAN dihalalkan? PAKATAN RAKYAT (PAS-PKR-DAP) yang berdegar-degar bercakap tentang memerangai Rasuah, tetapi bila orang kuat DINASTI LIM ambil rasuah- tak mengapa???
3. TAK SAMPAI SATU PENGGAL- dah tak boleh nak kawal diri dengan rasuah- ada angan-angan nak ke PUTRAJAYA? (Ini bukan apa ni… Ini auta si Anwar tu ja… Dia dok jual ke kawan-kawan Pakatan dia kata -WE ARE ON THE WAY TO PUTRAJAYA, and they are buying his words!!! Serupalah dia tak pernah guna tactic ni dulu…)
4. Ini tanpa melupakan kes rasuah – eh silap! SEDEKAH SEKS yang diambil oleh orang PKR di PERAK semasa PAKATAN memerintah Perak 2008 dulu. Kalau ada Melayu lain yang sudah lupa episod itu, Melayu kenit ini tidak mudah lupa…..
5. Bukalah mata wahai rakyat Malaysia… Bercakap berdegar-degar memanglah mudah- tetapi bolehkah yang bercakap itu walk his talk???
6. BN tak sempurna dan tak pernah mengaku sempurna- dan itu lebih saya terima daripada orang-orang yang always holier than me tetapi when the acid test comes- failed miserably…..
SELAMAT MENYAMBUT KEMERDEKAAN KALI KE 53 NEGARAKU MALAYSIA. SEMOGA NEGARAKU SENTIASA DALAM LINDUNGAN ALLAH SWT SELALU.
Salam Tun berdua dan pembaca semua. Tetap sabarlah kita menjaga diri dan solat kita- kerana sesungguhnya dengan sabar dan solatlah bantuan dan rahmat Allah SWT dapat kita perolehi. “Pohonlah bantuan (ALLAH) dengan sabar dan solat. (Dan) Sesungguhnya (sabar dan solat) itu adalah berat melainkan keatas mereka yang khusyuk” – maksud ayat al-Qur’an.

Salam sejahtera Dan Selamat berpuasa untuk Tun dan Isteri,
Thank for highlighting again this interesting issue – meritocracy.
Meritocracy is good term and has a positive meaning. Its reflect a concept that creating environment of fairness and just. Those who are most capable and and most qualified will be selected or will be given the chances. For those who are not most capable or not most qualified will be left out. It looks good but is it fair?.
If we examine it closely and turarerly over time it will lead to most unjust and most unfair situation. We will be end up with the strongest control everything the weaker will be supressed and getting weaker.
We are dealing with human being. We cannot allow this unjust policy to take place in this most tolerance country. The weaker, the less fortunate, the less capable must be assisted and supported in order for them to become strong and capable over time and not to be suppressed and left behind.
By doing so than the unfortunate will be able to improve themselve and together we develop and prosper this country. A country not belonged to by small group of most capable people. It belonged to every citizen. Therefore it become the responsibility of the government to ensure meritoracy not be practice if it will lead to more unjust result. Be fare with every citizen no matter what color there are.
Selamat menyambut hari merdeka ke 53.

Dear Tun,
Yes and you shd explain even more to avoid conflict. It wld be more acceptable if justified but policy must also be with control – because everybody knows the NEP did not go to helping poor malays but instead eaten up by greedy malays and most likely UMNO.
It must also be done is a way that compensate the grieve of Chinese because no one like to be told you shd be given less because yr grandfather from China. They are given less so ok how about thanks to them for supporting. Nowadays nobody say thanks but instead I will kill you if dont give!!!
Chinese must allow malay to grow. Trust this is fair to both.
Pemimpin Singapura meraungkan Meritrocacy dan pernah juga cuba mengalukan Kerajaan Malaysia supaya melaksanakan meritrocracy kononnya sebagai punca kejayaan mereka.
Mereka berbuat demikaian sebab mereka faham,
seumpama ada tender kerajaan, orang melayu tak akan mampu kedepan.
Meraka tahu benar kelemahan orang melayu.
Tetapi sekiranya orang melayu bolih kedepan,mereka akan tukar teknik dan system lain.
Dengan mensyorkan system Meritrocracy kepada Kerajaan Malaysia seolah bertujuan melemahkan kedudukan orang Melayu di Malaysia.
Bukan bertujan rational atau membangunkan orang melayu.
Mereka ada Menteri Hal Ehwal Masyarakat Melayu/Islam bagi mengawal,mengawasi,mencekam kedudukan orang melayu.
Tidak wujud Menteri Hal Ehwal Masyarakat Cina,India, Serani,Christian,Buddist atau sebagainya.
Saya yakin badan agama,bangsa yg lain tak akan mengizinkan Pejalanan,Kewangan mereka di bendung olih Kerajaan.
ADAKAH ini dinamakan meritrocracy untuk mereka bukan untuk kita.
Saya lihat seolah Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura berkiblatkan PAP lebih dari Hukum ISLAM.
Saya hairan kenapa Badan Islam Kerajaan seperti MUIS,JAKIM mengeluarkan sijil Makanan Halal pada orang Kafir.
Kalau bolih keluar sijil Halal bermakna sijil Makruh,Haram,Sunnat,Wajib pun bolih disijilkan.
Inikan hukum agama,yg umat Islam wajib ikut,mengapa perlu sijil.
Kelamaan ada sijil masuk surga,ada juga sijil masuk neraka.
Dengan mengeluarkan sijil halal seolah kita mengalakkan orang kafir bermain dengan hukum Islam.
Ternyata Kebanyakan makanan keluaran Kafir sanggup membeli sijil halal demi kepentingan perniagaan mereka bukan kerana mengikut hukum agama.
Dengan mengeluarkan sijil halal,memberi perluang pada si kafir
meyalahkan gunakan pengertian hukum halal sebenarnya.
Seolah ini hukum manusia.
Dear Tun And Readers,
Selamat menyambut Kemerdekaan Negara. And Tun once say this…
Sesungguhnya tidak ada yang lebih menyayatkan
dari melihat bangsaku dijajah.
…Tidak ada yang lebih menyedihkan
dari membiarkan bangsaku dihina.
Air mata tiada ertinya
sejarah silam tiada maknanya
sekiranya bangsa tercinta terpinggir
dipersenda dan dilupakan.
Bukan kecil langkah wira bangsa
para pejuang kemerdekaan
bagi menegakkan kemuliaan
dan darjat bangsa
selangkah beerti mara
mengharung sejuta dugaan.
Biarkan bertatih
asalkan langkah itu yakin dan cermat
bagi memastikan negara
merdeka dan bangsa terpelihara
air mata sengsara
mengiringi setiap langkah bapa-bapa kita.
Tugas kita bukan kecil
kerana mengisi kemerdekaan
rupanya lebih sukar dari bermandi
keringat dan darah menuntutnya.
Lagi pula apalah ertinya kemerdekaan
kalau bangsaku asyik mengia dan menidakkan,
mengangguk dan membenarkan,
kerana sekalipun bangganya negara
kerana makmur dan mewahnya,
bangsaku masih melata
dan meminta-minta di negaranya sendiri.
Bukan kecil tugas kita
meneruskan perjuangan kemerdekaan kita
kerana rupanya selain memerdekakan,
mengisi kemerdekaan itu jauh lebih sengsara.
Bangsaku bukan kecil hati dan jiwanya
bukankah sejak zaman berzaman
mereka menjadi pelaut, pengembara
malah penakluk terkemuka?
Bukankah mereka sudah mengembangkan
sayap, menjadi pedagang dan peniaga
selain menjadi ulama dan ilmuan terbilang?
Bukankah bangsaku pernah mengharung
samudera menjajah dunia yang tak dikenal?
Bukankah mereka pernah menjadi
wira serantau yang tidak mengenal erti takut
dan kematian?
Di manakah silapnya hingga bangsaku
berasa begitu kecil dan rendah diri?
Apakah angkara penjajah?
Lalu bangsaku mulai melupakan kegemilangan
silam dan sejarah gemilang membina empayar

May I interject. It is not only in the construction sector that qualified Malays are not able to participate. Many other sectors too, even in simple employment. A strong example is seeking employment. Lately the qualification of “Must be able to speak English, Malay and Mandarin” or “Chinese dialect is an advantage” is getting more rampant. I remember when seeking employment 20 years ago, this qualifying statement was virtually non-existent. Nowadays it is almost becoming a norm. I bet you, even if I am able to speak fluent Mandarin, or any dialects these companies would still not hire me. As such, I’m reduced to working in “Mat Salleh” companies because of my fluency in English and also because they mostly do not discriminate. Therefore, many Malays are handicapped by their command of English? Think again.
Salam to Tun and all,
I had seen this trend thru out my working life in private sector. In general yes, bumis new grads are less competetive, timid and all negative traits. Very few bumis in sr management level. Nevertheless the trend is reversing…esp in MNC. I had witness excellent/outstanding bumi engineers/exec which can compete with others on equalfooting and still come up top. Same trend with education, we have seen top scorer and best student were no longer belongs to basically a particular race. Bumis student are stamping their mark now. In fact, many top student is bumi from sek kebangsaan (sjk is a myth…) Commercial front, there are more sucessful bumi businessman than before (eventhough still not to the level we would like to have). Corporate wise, again some bumi have shown what they can do. Travelling outside Malaysia..in few occasions bumped into bumi working at unheard of places ..sometime alone…competing with others. This is due to NEP…..fair distribution of wealth and opportunity. And this is what some are so afraid of. With every available chance will make it disadvantage to bumis, keep the unequal playing field in a subtle and not so subtle way. Why dont be frank, acknowkledge that there is no equal distribution now. Help bumi to achieve their share rather than making it difficult. If NEP has been abused, then correct the weaknesses. Do yr part as Malaysian, give constructive suggestion rather than condemming it and sowing hatred. Bumis need to be vigilant and continue doing what they are doing now without shame or guilt. This is the right of the country to ensure in general all having porpotionate peice of the cake and opportunity.

It is not easy to see how the more extreme forms of nationalism can long survive when men have seen the Earth in its true perspective as a single small globe against the stars. The proper means of increasing the love we bear our native country is to reside some time in a foreign one.

If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality. True patriotism hates injustice in its own land more than anywhere else.

I do not support current NEP as I believed it will only weakens the beneficiary. It is a very basic theory of spoil child are most likely to failed when fared against child that are taught in dicipline.
I like to think I am smart enough to understand what Tun Mahathir are trying to achieve.
He is trying to prevent inequality that was created by the culture of Chinese that was good enough to last many thousands of year but obviously not perfect enough to be superpower that currently belong to the west. But that culture was good enough to create inequality in Malayia.
NEP was bring in to erase that inequality, it hopes to give the bumiputeras a level playing field as their history did not teach them as much as the chinese did. So by doing this it give bumiputeras some time to catch up and rightfully it should. But it tooks longer than 20 years
He understand that 20 years did not achieve what he envisioned, which is for bumiputeras to catch up or to be more precise, to overtake chinese. He hopes bumiputeras dominate both politically and economiccaly while minority can at the same time help and share the success created by Malaysian. Bumiputeras achive this in politic by not in economic.
With minority in economic dominance, history shown us that it will not a good for the country and the minority themself. Similar to rich & poor disparity, it will create chaos. NEP is similar to welfare system that are implemented in other country, but instead of targeting the poor, it aimed at ethnic group. Although fundamentals is same, but tecnically is very different.
He is still trying to achieve his vision of bumiputeras’ dominance over minority or chinese in particular as they have much more influence in term of their population size in Malaysia. He afraid if NEP is not continue, bumiputeras will lose even more and overshadow by chinese just like Singapore.
If this is what he really thinks, well I am agree with him. I must confess I do not have any absolute solution but I believe current NEP should b e scrap as it proves it doesn’t work. It should be more in a form of education subsidy and it should be extended to certain less fortunate miority as well. As long as bumiputeras dominate politics, they should have a way to increase state owned firm to achieve economic equality but at the same time becareful not to eleminate Malaysia’s competitiveness.
In The Name of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful, I bear witness there is no God but Allah and Prophet Muhammad as His Messenger, Peace be upon the most respected figure in the Muslim world. May Lord of the Heaven , Earth and between them, protect and pardoned you and all of us from the evil sin in this worldly life and bless you, your family and all our Muslim brothers and sisters thru out this world. Not to forget our non Muslim friends may my Lord the All Mighty open their heart to embrace the most peace and tolerance religion of all time. I

You may be right that to undo your NEP will be disastrous to Malaysia. But that begs the question, was the NEP unsuccessful in the first place? You ran the Malaysian government for 25 years and if NEP had worked, it shouldn’t even be necessary?
Do you know that even educated bumis are now voting against your party because they say the NEP did not benefit them but the ruling BN elite (be they UMNO, MCA, MIC or Gerakan?)
Salam Tun
Thank you for thinking and speaking on behalf of us the Malays. I am a Malay and currently I am sick with the person in power who is not able to defend the Malay rights even though the constitution provides for it. Where are the data? Why is it that the information ministry not doing the intelligent thing..rebuttal with the best possible argument. Put those young Oxford or Cambridge malay graduates to good use. Hire them to do the jobs the current officials are not able to. Defend the constitution..it is the right thing to do. Those who are not willing to defend the constitution which is the article of faith of this country then they are free to leave. There is always a better place to go. For me, I am going to stick around..tanah tumpah darahku !
Salam Tun,
Article from Dato Kadir Jasin’s blog titled Menuntut Hak Kaum Tidak Semestinya “Racist” is also interesting. He mentioned that “Mereka termakan hujah bahawa sesiapa saja yang mempertahankan hak Melayu adalah
Tun,
Salam and Happy Independence day.
To cut long story short, why do we still need to give handicap to “Bumiputra” in general instead of “Malaysian” who are in need?
And to Mdrose, my god. You sounded like those uneducated Minister in the Parliament and shouting the same thing. If you start treating “Malaysian” differently, what makes Malaysia diff from those countries that you have just mentioned???
Heng.
Salam Tun and fellow bloggers,
I read all of the bloggers’ comments on Tun’s meritocracy and racist and these are my findings;
1. the malay racists (in favour of Tun’s thinking)could see what’s happening; the chinese racists are taking advantage of the situation, demanding from the malays who are not united, and trying to get rid of the malays.
2. the malay ‘liberalists’ (not in favour of Tun’s comments) either are ignorant, stupid or dont feel they are malays anymore…they have new values. No doubt some genuinely believed Tun is not Islamic..Islamic means you can allow non-muslims in your surau…maybe she had her period at that time was also fine to the ignorant muslims. oh, not ignorant cos they know this is one political strategy. If I recommend a malay woman there, I dare say they will reject this idea. The political ones like those from pkr or pas are dangerous because they know the consequences and yet they pushed for the idea that meritocracy is not racism. Have you read anwar’s, kit siang’s, zaid’s comments? Just a bunch of idiots, not really interested in unity.
3. the non-malays, especially the chinese racists are taking advantage and exploiting the malays’ kind hearts. These extremists are dangerous, they can trigger problem with the malays. They want to copy-cat singapore’s success.
4. the non-malays who are not into politic but genuinely believed in meritocracy cant be blamed. They are harmless. I wished they’re more open-minded when reading Tun’s thinking. If you’re not a racist, you can understand Tun’s concern.
Tun, please dont get bored highlighting such topic like this. Thank you very much. Too easy to identify those who’re genuinely interested in unity and those who’re not, identify the concern ones and the idiots!
Dearest Tun,
// 18….. Everyone is thinking about his own race. If I am included it is because I think it is dangerous for the rich to take away what little the poor has.//
1-What are you suggesting here Tun?That, should the non Malays finally acquire political control of Malaysia they should not practise meritocracy but instead continue to practise the NEP? Or the non Malays should not attempt to acquire political control at all in the first place..i.e they should devote only on economics?So that they will’ not take away what little the poor has’?
2-But should they insist on enforcing meritocracy and do away with the NEP… which tantamounts to ‘taking away what little the poor has’..then they should be ready for danger…. the likes of 513?What ridiculous and dangerous thing are you suggesting here?
3-That the non Malays must practise self restraint from meritocracy and continue with affirmative action..and let our nation slid further to become a mediocre and substandard nation forever just because it is dangerous ‘to take away whatever little the the poor has’.So NEP forever and meritocracy never!And Malaysia will achieve a high income economy by 2020,insyaallah.
4-With such frightening scenarios,no wonder you are having sleepless nights.If the poor lose whatever little they has then all hell is going to break loose..Is this the contingency plan PERKASA preparing for should that happen?Now Tun if this is the only option we have then its 100% sure the Malaysia can book its place in the failed nation club.Because the Malays will eventually lose its political power,East Malaysians votes can help see the collapse of BN as early as PRU13…
5-Although I admire your simplistic view of things which made it easy for you to believe and achieve the big things,I am afraid that when it comes to this issue you are too overly simplistic.Your approach is truly unlike a world class leader expected of you but sorry to say, more like a ketua kampong Tun..serious.It seems that whatever you have commented of Tunku before has actually come back to you.
6-Tun the non Malay Malaysian are Malaysians like any of us.They didn’t come from CHINA or INDIA to look for a better living they have been destined to be born here as Malaysians like any Malays.In fact if they had a choice maybe they would rather go home to Britain instead of staying here to live with this double standards.Be in their shoes Tun and you can understand how it feel to have scored nine A’s and first grade and yet you can’t go anywhere but a Malay with a second grade can be awarded scholarship into UITM and subsequently go overseas fully sponsored.Any sort of injustices hurts Tun.
7-If they are born rich and privileged its their luck, a test from the lord for them just like the many filthy rich Malays from UMNOPUTRAS (your children very included) who are born wealthy and privileged too.So Tun why don’t you also automatically phase them out of the category that require affirmative action so that they too will ‘not take away whatever little the poor has’?
8-You’ve always mention now and then about’ thinking out of the box”think up crazy ideas”go beyond the horizon”what’s done once can be done again’,and dozens other big phrases..yet the only way to solve our problem here is the simple threatening ‘dangerous to take away whatever little the poor has’!
9-Although you had impressed me a couple of times before with your unconventional ways of tackling things, like check mating Ku Li and Musa during the UMNO presidential election of 87 as well as getting us out of the economic crisis and destroying Anwar 10 years later…but now it seems you have really shrunk yourself to the size of the insignificant Ibrahim Ali!This can’t be you Tun,so the only explanation is you actually have something else up your sleeves….Wonder what it is?
10-Selamat menyambut hari kemerdekaan ke 53.Thanks Tun.

Dear Tun,
Happy Merdeka.
I just wonder whether the Malays in this country ever think about “Saving for your Children’s Education”. That’s what we Chinese thinks about from the very 1st day our child is born (Cos’ we know truly well that we can’t depend on our Government for assistance). We are using OUR OWN HARD EARNED MONEY for our own children’s education. IS IT A SIN ? ARE OUR CHILDREN DEPRIVING YOUR MALAY CHILD A PLACE IN THE PRIVATE COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES.
Likewise, the Malays could also afford to send their children to private colleges/universities if they also plan for their children’s education early. No one is stopping them.
But no, they prefer to use all their money on new branded shoes, branded handphones, clothings, big cars etc etc. Get themselves tied-up on personal loans till retirement (instead of using them for their children’s education).
NOW WHO ARE WE TO BLAME ?
Assalam mualaikum
Selamat menyambut Hari Kemerdekaan kita Tun,
I am a Malay well over 50 years now. I am not proud if I have to be spoon fed and worse if my bangsa has to be spoon fed till doomsday.
During those days, I had to do everything own my own since we come from a poor family. There was no such thing as scholarship, car loan or housing loan or any form of loan especially for the Malays. Tese were because nearly 90 percent malays at that time were considered poor and stupid and uneducated. Incidentally I got a grade 2 for my School Certificate but I have to work since I had another 8 siblings to support and my late father was just a driver for the Tuan.
Withut being arrogant nor vain, I consider my self to be intelligent but unfortunately not given the oportunity. Maybe because i was not politically inclined to join any political parties.
Later in life ( rather late ) I then realised that to get contracts or projects ne has to be a member and more so very close to the Govermnent of the day. No matter how intelligent your are or how innovative and inventative your are without any support form a political masters you will not move forward.
When you took over the premiership, a lot were changed. Especially for the Bumis be it in education or commerce or industries. A lot of the Bumis were sent overseas to be exposed by way of education or just learnig the work cultures of progressive and developed countries. I am sure Tun was aware that for every 1000 sent overseas or even given contracts or projects maybe a fraction of a percent can be succuseful or succeed. This I call the learning curve for the Bumis. BUT IT HAS TO CONTINUE until such time a reasonable percentage of the Bumis can stand shoulder to shoulder with the non Bumis.
Sadly Tun decide to retire and the follwing premier was too weak to continue your crusade. I can even said that he just refused to consider anything that was from you. When he did that, he was beginnig to open the Pandoras Box.
The present situation where the gap in racial divide is consider big is the legacy of that weak Premier. He was the culprit that sold out his own race !!
When Government give contracts or projects to Bumi or GLCs, not less than 70 percent of the sub contractor are CHINESE ! But in private projects such as property developments, industries and even to simple renovation jobs you hardly see any Bumi contractors being given a sub job or as suplliers.
I did venture into contracting works and not once have I ever being given a direct contract from the Government. All these while I was just a sub contractor even though I receive many pats on the back for delivering it on time. But when I tried to get sub contracts job from the privateers, I hardly had a chnace to be considered and on a few oaccasins i was given a sub jobs, they never pay me in full citing that my jobs was no good. Thats the way they accumulate their profits without having any humane feelings for the poor contractors especiay the non Chinese contractors.
100 years ago to be powerful and to be rich one has to go to war with weapons,etc. The present situation, you can still go to war and win handsomely via ECONOMICS and EDUCATION. This is the real situation in this country. If Tun just have to look up ath the tall buildings in KL, I am sure yu will find it difficult to identify a Bumi owned building or properties. The same with big factories and big farms or estates. Either it is owned by the Government or non Bumis.
Just look at our neigbors with the exception of Singapore. Thailand, Phillipines, Indonesia all their Bumis are mere slaves in their own countries. Their masters are the one that owned banks, skyscrapers, estates and plantations. These people just need to look after the politicians well and they wil get anything they wish for.
This happened in our country during the 4 year rules of your repalcement Tun.
When the present PM’s younger brother proposed to do away with the NEP, I was shocked and sad because he seems not to understand or just refused to understand the actual situation of the Malays now.He was lucky because I am sure he did not go through the grind wheels and moreover I can consider him to born with a silver spoon in his mouth. So he cannot really have the feel how to live with everything not enough !!
I hope the present PM will consider to look again at the NEP. unless he is too is a weak leader and rely a lot from peole like his younger brother or cousin.
A few years ago, i did wrote in your blog Tun, to say that the present PM is not in the same moud of his ate father. And i sti maintain that. He is more folowing his mthers character. In short he is a Mama’s boy
Last but not least, for your info Tun, I did get a sub job from a Bumi company who happened to be the crony of your ex Deputy PM. When he was sacked by you, this crony ran off with my money to a tune of RM12 million to Austraia to fund the comeback of this sacked ex DPM. Overnight I lost everything and now I am penniiess and jobless with a substantial debts hanging over my head. For me to get a project or a contract now is impossible because everything are still in the hands of the politicians and they already have their bag carriers and proxies.
Because there are many disillusioned Malays like me out there who has lot faith with UMNO, the non Malay parties are being brave now to demand this and that.
This is the real situation now Tun
Tun,
Selamat Hari Kebangsaan…MERDEKA!!!
Ada perpatah Melayu yang mengatakan: Dah beri betis, nak peha…
Orang dulu-dulu buat dah perpatah tu sebab golongan ini la.. Tak puas-puas nak lebih… Depa ni bukan nak bersyukur pun.. Bila kita kata macam perangai Israel, depa marah… marah kerana benar !! Masalahnya sekarang, ramai pulak yang menjadi pengkhianat bangsa..
Tak tahu la Tun… Ramai sangat yang BUTA sejarah !!
Have a nice day, Tun…..
Islam, kuda tunggangan.
Berkaitan dengan posting Tun sebelumnya ia-itu:
“10. Sama juga dengan parti politik yang meraih sokongan menggunakan agama Islam. Di Malaysia, orang Melayu kesemuanya beragama Islam. Terdapat juga sebilangan besar kaum India Muslim di Malaysia tetapi mereka ini tidak berperanan dalam parti politik yang dikatakan parti Islam ini. Dengan mengguna Islam, parti ini sedar yang ianya hanya untuk menarik secara eksklusif sokongan orang Melayu. Niat mereka hanya untuk meraih sokongan orang Melayu dan bukan untuk mempertahan kedudukan orang Melayu. Mereka ini boleh dikatakan bukan bersifat perkauman pro-Melayu. Tetapi mereka mengambil kesempatan politik ke atas orang Melayu.”
Ada pemimpin politik bukan hanya sanggup menggunakan nama Islam tetapi menghina Islam. Katanya dia berlaku sebegitu kerana Allah pun ada mencarut, gangster dsb. Penyokong2nya berdiam diri seolah bersetuju kenyataan dibuat adalah mainan untuk melawan parti politik musuh. Bila bekerjasama dengan DAP dan PKR idealisma Islam terbenam. Tidak dengar langsung berkenaan hudud. Masih lagi penyokong2 berdiam diri.
Bayangan apa akan terjadi apabila bukan Islam memerintah sudah berlaku di P. Pinang dan Selangor. Mereka masuk masjid. Mereka menggunakan Islam atau simbol Islam sebagai kuda tunggangan untuk meraih sokongan dan undi PRU13.
Pernah maharaja Mongol, Genghis Khan (~1170-1227) selepas membakar Bukhara, Samarkand memberi ucapan ‘Punishment of God’ dimimbar masjid, walaupun ia bukan Islam:
“O people, know that you have committed great sins and that the great ones among you have committed these sins! If you ask me what proof I have for these words, I say it is because I am the punishment of God. If you have not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.”
Dengan kehendak Allah, keturunan beliau yang memerintah Moghul Empire, India menganuti Islam.
Politikus kafir yang memberi ucapan dikawasan masjid tentulah berkenaan politik bukan hal agama. Ada yang menyangka yang mereka mula berjinak dengan Islam. Sebenarnya mereka adalah opportunist menggunakan Islam atau simbol Islam sebagai kuda tunggangan. Penyokong2 muslimin masih berdiam diri kerana hal itu disifatkan sebagai sandiwara politik.
Selamat memyambut Hari Kemerdekaan kepada semua rakyat Malaysia.
Hi Tun , I very admire and highly solute to you what you had done and contributed to Malaysia from unknown conutry to well-know country. When you resign as our prime minister, I felt it is good for you. You able to had good time to relax and with family. And also you may able to judge the capability your new successor.
I think that all Malaysian able to feel the difference of atmosphere between currently and the period that the duty is on your hand. I so quiet.
Currently the globe is in a slump situation even at our Country.
In me opinion, why the goverment and oppsition created a lot problem such as racists, curruption, fighting for rights and etc. When each time there is a suggesstion from any party, there must have a fight before thinking / go into into deeper thought, even your (Tun) reader. Sometime it disgusting to read.
I do hope that our Malaysian able to give more cooperation to over- come this slump globalization without creating alot problem. The goverment should do the best to contribute the country, don’t think about gain for themself, the current financial status is small able to be see by rakyat. And the opposition try to train more capable leader as currently it has only litte capable personal.
Tun, about you mention regarding the education . Tun you had made alot comment adn critize to leaders. But Tun you did not put a very hard to our leaders about education. for example, look at the performence of the latest Teo Beng Hock inquest case, it is so embrassing the way of the lawyer giving court practising.
On this Merdeka day . I hope we Malaysian to have prosperous year and so do you TUN.
Bye
LEH
Tun,
I went to a gathering in Johor Bahru held by the Johor government about a few years back.
After the ceremony and functions completed, all the rakyat were invited for food and drinks
All the attendees were Malays since this is a religious function (Maulid).
The rakyat was divided into two’s. The VIP’s get to sit and ate the food on the table while the rest ate sitting on floor in a big hall nearby. I do not mind that. The food they served to us was not the same kind served to the VIP’s. I do not mind that as well. What I do mind is that they serve nasi beriani with just the curry sauce without meat while the VIP were served with multiples types of gravies along with the Beriani Rice.
Some of the folks from the kampung were happy and contented. I was not. In my mind at the time was that, perhaps this is the culture and mindset of the people who govern this country. The VIP get to plunder the wealth while the common malays get only the residue.
Maybe we should have another statistic, what are the gap in terms of wealth of the Malay population. Are the very rich consist of a few while the rest are just average or poor.
This I think is the reason why Dato’ Nazir Razak said that the NEP have been bastardized.
There are no doubt that the NEP contributed a lot to the Malays. Boarding school were built and many got the the required education. Quite a numbers have becomes professionals, academician, etc.
There are also those who had abused it for their interest to reap enormous amount of wealth.
Therefore there are Plus as well as Minus for NEP.
The question is that, does the Plus outweigh the Minus or vice versa in the long run?
As a malay, I want the rights of bumiputra to be maintained. I would also like to see a competence government that will lead us ahead. The government that consists of leaders, compose of Malays and others that are there based on “merit”. The government that pushes progress and development as their main agenda minus the inciting racial sentiment to gain votes prior to the election.
YBhg Tun M,
Selamat Hari Merdeka.
Saya mohon pada rakyat Malaysia yang tercinta ini, hayatilah penjelasan Tun, Marilah sama-sama berfikir panjang untuk kesejahteraan dan keamanan Malaysia. Utamakanlah keamanan dan kesejahteraan kita – kerana hanya dalam keadaan aman dan tenteram sahaja lah kita akan bersama-sama dapat memajukan negara kita dan dapat mencapai kemajuan yang kita recanakan. Inilah FOKUS kita.
Elakkan diri dari berfikiran pendek – elakkan dari mementingkan diri keterlaluan biar ia sederhana. Kalau buat perbandingan biarlah mengambilkira SELURUH RAKYAT MALAYSIA YANG TERDIRI DARI BERBILANG BANGSA DAN KAUM. Buatlah kajian dahulu berdasarkan 26++ juta rakyat Malaysia – misalnya siapakah dan kaum manakah yang memiliki kekayaan dan kemewahan dan sebaliknya? Adakah sesiapakah merampas dan dirampas? dan lain-lain lagi yang perlu dikaji dan diselidiki – sebelum melontarkan apa-apa tuduhan atau memperjuangkan satu-satu idea atau isu.
Tun – Teruskan – teruskan komitmen dan perjuanganmu untuk rakyat Malaysia. KEBENARAN DAN YANG BAIK ADALAH MILIK ALLAH – YANG TIDAK BAIK ADALAH DARI KITA MANUSIA.
Sekian dan terima kasih.
Salam Sayang dan Sejahtera untuk Tun M & Tun CT
dari kami – Ghazali Salali dan Samiah Salali.
If only Najib did not introduced 1Malaysia slogan, all these racial talks will not be happened.
Salam Tun,
Happy Independence day yang ke 53.

Assalamualaikum,
1. 1896 merupakan tahun penubuhan Majlis Raja-Raja. Tidak lama setelah itu penubuhan di kuat kan lagi dengan penyatuan negeri2 bersekutu dengan tidak, kemudian dikuatkan lagi dengan negeri2 tidak beraja.
2. Antara langkah-langkah bagi menjaga kepentingan warga asal Tanah Melayu dan juga pihak Inggeris pada zaman penjajahan, syarat2 kemerdekaan disertakan dengan peruntukan istimewa perlembagaan; iaitu:
a) Bahasa Melayu sebagai bahasa rasmi.
b) Agama Islam sebagai agama rasmi.
c) Hak Istimewa orang melayu dan bumiputera.
d) Kedudukan istimewa raja-raja melayu.
e) Kewarganegaraan.
f) Hak asasi.
3. Kaum-kaum Cina dan India di Tanah Melayu sebelum merdeka yang tidak lagi diterima pulan ke tanah asal mereka, telah di terima oleh rakyat Melayu / Bumiputera untuk menjadi rakyat negara Malaysia; tetapi tertakluk kepada terma dan syarat.
4. Setelah 53 tahun merdeka, mengapakah antara rakyat Malaysia yang tidak sedarkan diri dan lupa tentang perjanjian ini? Apa yang di lakukan oleh kerajaan pusat sekarang adalah berlandaskan perjanjian ini. Lupakah kita? Mengapa ada antara anak-anak jati Melayu sendiri yang menentang perjanjian asal ini? Saya tidak faham.
5. Sejarah amat penting untuk kita mengetahui asal usul kita. Amat penting untuk kita tahu siapa diri kita sebenar.
6. Jangan lupa daratan.
Oh goody, perhaps we should wait for another 500 years before we consider meritocracy again? Regardless of whether the demand for meritocracy is racial or not, surely you do not want to be left behind forever when others are progressing? Since you are a respected figure and wield a lot of influence, at least do something about it rather than just pointing fingers.
All said and done,the Malays(not the other bumiputras) have been given special privileges for the last 41 years and if you think they still have’nt achieved what the government intended what makes you think the next 41 years will be any different??
The real issue here is the abuse of the NEP to benefit only certain Malays while the vast majority are left out.
Nazir, the highest paid CEO is anachronistically ambitious, a megalomaniac. Why and who on earth put Golden Hope and Guthrie under SD? Now SD has a super-megalomaniac as the chairman. PNB will have to revise its ASB dividends for the billions of losses.
Now, Nazir wants to up his meritocracy at Oxford in Islamic Banking. He can afford to do that since childhood to be English educated. In some months time he can speak louder on meritocracy, bastardization the ‘Father of NEP’ that has placed him (and Malays) in good steed.
Apparently, his sibling also has a problem how to handle meritocracy especially for the Malays. The son of the ‘Father of NEP’ thinks that everybody have reached to their level of wealth and knowledge – talking about high income, (un)mastery of English, own-race disinclination etc. Are they both racist or non-racist?

We have been going through all the racist issues since the day we achieved our independance 53 years ago. Until today, the bumiputras and non-bumiputras are still not contented. Seems like it is better we let the whites colonise our country again. Our forefathers have fought for independance hand in hand whether they were Malay, Chinese or Indian. I believe in equality. The government should help those who are in need genuinely and not the type of race. Let us be fair and just, otherwise we will still be talking about the racist issue for another hundred years.
Take care Tun.
Assalamualaikum YBhg Tun & Famili, saya sekeluarga mengambil kesempatan untuk mengucapkan selamat menyambut Aidl Fitri dan kemenangan perjuangan di bulan Ramadhan.
1. Saya berpendapat sejarah itu penting, kerana ianya ialah sumber rujukan. Kemakmuran dan dinikmati oleh semua kaum selama ini ada kaitan dgn kestabilan ekonomi bangsa Melayu. Itu saya pasti.
2. Melayu ini cepat ‘lupa’, mudah ‘mengamuk’ dan cepat ‘melatah’.
3. Kenapa Presiden MCA dengan selamba mengungkit keistimewaan bumiputera? Itu pun kita kena tanya diri sendiri. Kerana dia tahu kita sudah tidak bersatu. Kenapa kita tak bersatu sebab semua ada kepentingan. Kenapa semua ada kentingan kerana kita cepat ‘lupa’.
4. Macam kita nyanyi lagu bangau oh bangau.
5. Cuma saya terfikir jika YBhg Tun sudah tiada…di mana suara bumiputera?
Semoga Allah SWT memberi kesihatan dan memanjang usia YBgh Tun, amin.
Assalamualaikum Tun.

Is Meritocracy a Religion?
BERITA from Mstar:-

Umat Islam Harus Patuh Arahan Sultan Sebagai Ketua Agama – Imam Besar
2. PETALING JAYA: Titah Sultan Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah yang mahu kesucian surau dan masjid dipelihara harus diambil berat kerana beliau merupakan ketua agama negeri yang diperakui, kata Imam Besar Masjid Negara Tan Sri Syaikh Ismail Muhammad.
3. Beliau berkata orang ramai harus sedar segala hal ehwal berkaitan hukum agama Islam harus mendapat perkenan daripada baginda tanpa perlu dipersoalkan oleh pihak lain.
4. “Kalau kita tidak patuh pada perintah Sultan, apatah lagi berkaitan hukum-hakam agama Islam, itu sudah menjadi satu kesalahan,” katanya kepada pemberita selepas Program Lawatan Mahabbah Ramadhan, Penyampaian Sumbangan Aidilfitri dan Jalur Gemilang kepada pesakit Pusat Perubatan Universiti Malaya (PPUM) di sini, Isnin.
5. Beliau berkata demikian ketika diminta mengulas tentang kejadian Anggota Parlimen Serdang Teo Nie Ching memberi ucapan di Surau Al-Huda Kajang Sentral Ahad lalu dan Anggota Parlimen Selayang William Leong masuk ke ruang solat Masjid At-Taqwa di Selayang Baru untuk memberi bantuan baru-baru ini.
6. Syaikh Ismail berkata adalah menjadi tanggungjawab seseorang umat Islam untuk menerangkan kepada penganut agama lain tentang hukum-hakam dan adab-adab tentang tempat beribadat bagi menjaga sensitiviti dan keharmonian masyarakat.
7. Sebelum itu, Syaikh Ismail yang ditemani Imam Jemputan Solat Tarawih dari Mesir Shaikh Abdul Rahman el-Desauky Taha Raduan dan kakitangan Masjid Negara serta PPUM telah meluangkan masa melawat wad-wad menyampaikan sumbangan berupa hamper, risalah Islam dan Jalur Gemilang kepada para pesakit.
8. Mengulas mengenai program itu, Syaikh Ismail berkata objektif utama program adalah untuk mengeratkan hubungan antara kakitangan Masjid Negara dan PPUM serta memupuk budaya bersedekah.
9. “Diharap, program sebegini dapat memberi sedikti sinar keceriaan kepada pesakit-pesakit yang sedang menerima rawatan di hospital tersebut.
10. “Di samping itu, penyerahan Jalur Gemilang kepada pesakit adalah bagi menyahut seruan kerajaan supaya rakyat Malaysia disemai rasa cintakan negara serta menyemarakkan lagi sambutan kemerdekaan yang ke-53,” katanya.
11. Syaikh Ismail turut berharap program sebegini sentiasa mendapat perhatian dan sokongan daripada orang ramai demi terus mengimarahkan masjid sebagai institusi untuk merapatkan hubungan sesama muslim.- BERNAMA

Salam Merdeka Tun,
Wither the “MeritocRACIST”.
The Malays still has a long way to go, a lot more to do to even up the odds especially relative to the others. And the others always sprinting away whenever the Malays came anywhere near to catch up. To expect them to lift even a finger to help would be expecting too much. Some (or is it many as per this blog) of them are even asking for interested parties to cease helping the Malays for reasons of stopping to fortify or encourage further the already well known “laziness” and other such unbecoming traits (character deficits??) of the Malays.
The government can only do so much.
Now, with the seemingly intractable political divisions among the Malays, their case may become utterly hopeless. UMNO, hobbled with accusations of corruptions, cronyism and nepotisms (mostly true, but its all becoming sort of old wives tales already) may ends up a liability to the Malay Agenda if the perception is not wholly corrected.
Power corrupts…bla…bla…bla..so imagine being in power for over 50 years and not giving in to temptations. A certain party or group of parties has been in power for only a bit more than a couple of years and see whats becoming of the State it rules – not very pretty! Nonetheless, no excuses for those who blatantly game the system for their own benefits when they were supposed to be the guardian angels. Some parties were so vocal when it involved others, but lately they exposed themselves to be no better.
PERKASA was thus born out of necessity, albeit as a temporary stop-gap measure perhaps. At least, the Malays may continue sleeping in at weekends (or even on workdays) knowing theres somebody at the gates looking after their stuff/turf, should some people not exactly their friends decide to overrun whatever little footprints they have in the nation’s economics landscape and whatever left of their shrinking political territories – you know, some little tidbits and extras embedded in some wordy but sacrosanct piece of document, not enough, truth be told, for others to be envious of – if they were honest to themselves.
PAS is definitely not helping because it is supposedly only for the Muslims and Islam. The fact that all of its members are Malays is a mere demographical coincidence (or is it inconvenience?). Lest it be labelled “assobiyah” it ends up dancing to DAP’s tunes – DAP, an entity so violently opposed to PAS’ ideology of setting up an Islamic state, nothwithstanding whatever “personal opinions” the old goat may utter.
PKR has a lot of early promises at multiracialism but it keeps shooting its own feet while its erstwhile de-facto leader keep shooting off his mouth. Now he is under trial for allegedly shooting off his loads in some forbidden black hole. PKR is now perceived merely as a political vehicle for the three A’s: Anwar, Azizah and Azmin (or is it Anwar, Azmin and Azizah). The rests are just stooges, lackeys, extras and hangers-on.
DAP seems to be helping PKR but could it be just taking advantage of the opportunity to play puppets master? Given a chance as per Penang, DAP shows off its true colors with no inhibitions whatsoever – the true meritocracists a la PAP its mentor, elder borther and sponsor?
MCA, MIC and GERAKAN – they are just grappling for directions and the strengths to try to resuscitate themselves. One even let a caught porno star be its president, another still can’t get rid of its president who still hangs on despite the deafening writings on the walls, while the other one pretends its still a robust party although PRU12 slaughtered them thoroughly beyond recognition.
Well, in the final analysis, its up to the Malays really to choose whichever path they want to tread going forward. Some say their thousand years journey to the “Promised Land” had ended also milleniums ago. This was the Promised Land. Promised to no one else but the Malays – “descendants of Ibrahim a.s. and Keturah, the mystery woman from the East”. This was the land which unite the siblings who travelled overland with those who arrived via the high seas, and who then went on to found great empires and civilisations which lasted another thousand of years. Can’t they unite now, when they are still here and still can? They have nowhere else to go from here except into either a future of glorious revival, or into ‘oblivion’ – if thats what they so chose at the end of the day.
Have a good break fast!
What you say carries a very significant weight in Malaysia and particularly among the Malays. I appreciate your concern of your race’s success in Malaysia. Every leader of their own race would have the same inclination. But once you are or were a PM of this multiracial country, you have to be responsible for what you say. A leader or even ex leader of multiracial Malaysia cannot seen to be racial. Everybody knows it is to the Malays’ advantage if the country is divided by race purely due to sheer number. But it is downright irresponsible if you are willing to split the country for your own race’s political dominance.
It will never be to Malaysia’s advantage or even the Malay’s advantage if this country is perpetually dominated by one Malay party. Having a dual party system give some form of check and balance control for the rakyat. You may be the best PM Malaysian have ever had, but that doesn’t mean future leaders from UMNO would be half as good as you. They may bring this country to its knees.

Dear Tun,
All I want to say is that you have failed your people.
May God have mercy on you.
Salam & Greetings all,
I used to believe I had gone beyond skin color. I tried to be impartial on almost all issues, preferring to see the facts instead. I used to think it’s okay to have a non-bumi PM as long as he can do an excellent job.
BUT, after being in business for a couple of years, I finally come to a realization that most Malaysian are racists. May be that’s the common thing that binds us all… funny.
The Chinese will prefer another Chinese workers, sub-contractors, vendors etc. Vice versa the Malay. The Indians, well just look at Air Asia & Maxis.
The non-bumiputra praised the US for electing Obama, an African-American to be their president but fail to see that:
a. If he is a Muslim he would never be president.
b. If both his parents were black he would never be president.
c. The US is 234 years old, we are only 47 years old (Malaysia formation).
So there.
Salam.
Assalamualaikum Tun,
Going by the present meaning and conotation of racist, just by supporting one own race, is already a racist. They want all human to talk only about the interest of all human. They put up some add-ons, namely, all human are brothers. Human are all similar. As such they should have equal oppourtunities, rights and so on.
They dont consider the existence of races; the different kind of races; the advancement or poverty of races; and so on. In other words, they do not consider the former situation in human life as ever exist.
I think in Islam, human are brothers only during the time of Nabi Adam as and Hawa as. After that, human are not brothers anymore, as they have evolve into lines of descendants, and then races. In fact, Allah claims that He created human into races, creed and so on!
Now, they are denying all these. They want to create a new fantacy for human. So they created a new history, like Malays are all from Indonesian region. They disobey anything that is religious, including to be on guard for your own race!
Less Tun feels that being racist, in this present context, is wrong and filthy, rest assured that it is not against Islamic teaching, as long as we respect all races. But if they dont, well… everybody can read what happens during Prophets’ time.
I, for one, do respect and appreciate, all races, including the Chinese, or Indians, who, of course respect me as a Malay, and not some Indonesian migrants!

Dear Sir and commentators,
1. I believe that this is a case of “do and be damned, don’t do and be damned”.
2. The demands to level the playing field were made to increase the total economic pie for all Malaysians. We can’t deny that we are losing FDIs and talents at an alarming rate.
3. The migration of certain sectors of the economy has already started with local companies delisting and capital flight happening to other more business friendly environment that is afforded by our competitive neighbours.
4. If we do not create a level playing field and attract more investment and talent into our country, the economic pie will not grow and hence we will continue to suffer from shrinking revenues and would miss out on development and growth that is happening around us.
5. Granted that social equilibrium has to be maintained. However, the protectionism in the form of social safety nets that we had had for the past 40 years had create inefficiencies, over dependence and the complacency.
6. We are riding on past assumptions and are operating as if the world and Malaysia hasn
Good evening Ayahanda Tun,
15. Actually construction by the private sector is bigger than the public sector. In the private sector the bumiputera contractors get next to nothing. I suppose this is because the private contracts are given based on merit. Or maybe it is not. I don’t know.
Perhaps this article from Joceline Tan will be able to assist Ayahanda Tun to know and understand how government and private contracts are given out to and by Chinese, and these DAPs are repeating the same old one mistake no matter how they twist and turn.

Assalamu’alaikum Tun,
Perkara ini akan jadi berlarut-larutan selagi kerajaan tidak menunjukkan keberanian menangani dgn tegas.sejak Hindraf,banyak kali telah terjadi perkataan dan perbuatan orang-orang asing yg memperkecilkan kita tapi tidak ditangani dgn segera dan bijak.Karpal Singh misal nya.dia secara kurang-ajar mencabar kita melangkah mayat nya dulu sebelum Malaysia jadi Negara Islam.hingga kini dia bebas.taada apa-apa tindakkan keatas nya.orang lain lihat,lalu mencuba sesuatu yg lebih berani hinggakan MP wanita kafir pembangkang tembus masuk mencemar kesucian Mesjid kita.
meritokrasi adalah helah yg telah terbukti berjaya membenamkan orang Melayu S’pura.kini dgn kebangkitan China sebagai kuasa besar yg bakal mengambil alih Amerika,orang- China di Malaysia,walau sebaik mana pun kita melayan mereka,tidak akan melepaskan peluang untuk perlahan-lahan mengambil alih tampuk pemerintahan kita.
baru-baru ini seorang menteri China mengatakan China adalah kuasa besar,negara besar.negara lain,yg menuntut kepulauan Spratly,cuma lah negara-negara kecil saja.dan tuntutan nya keatas Spratly dimasukkan kedalam “core-interest” nya setahap dgn masalah Tibet dan Taiwan.erti nya Spratly bukan lagi kepulauan rebutan yg boleh diselesaikan dgn rundingan,ia kini menjadi sebagian hak mutlak mereka.dan orang-orang Cina Nusantara mengganggap ini sebagai isyarat untuk menjadi lebih agresif.
hanya Pemimpin yg tegas saja dapat menyelamatkan bangsa Melayu dari bencana yg hampir pasti terjadi.peluasan daerah pengaruhkuasa China tak akan dapat kita bendung sekalipun PAS dan Umno bergabung.tapi jika ada pemimpin yg setegas,sebijak dan seberani Tun sebagai Perdana Menteri,sekurang-kurang nya perdebatan perkauman seperti ini tak akan terjadi.
dizaman Tun,non-bumiputra tahu dan sedar diri akan kedudukkan mereka sebagai orang asing di Malaysia.mereka terima kedudukkan mereka dan mereka hormat hak kita.tapi setelah mereka lihat kelemahan Badawi,mereka ingin cuba-cuba menduga sejauh mana yg boleh mereka dapat dgn mencetus masalah.lalu PM Najib mula memberi berbagai macam habuan-pujukkan,termasuk lah dasar satuMalaysia.apakah mereka akan baik semula dgn kita? tidak mungkin.
kelemahan orang Melayu dan kerajaan sudah jelas dimata mereka.apapun yg PM Najib tawarkan tak akan memuaskan mereka sebab mereka sudah lihat satu lagi S’pura dalam jangkauan tangan mereka.satu singapura yg jauh lebih besar,yg menguasai laluan utama perkapalan,yg lengkap hasil-mahsul nya.mereka menguasai lebih dari 70peratus ekonomi setiap negara dalam Asean.dgn kerjasama yg kukuh dikalangan mereka,bukan lah mustahil untuk bagi mereka menyingkir melayu dan PM najib sendiri.Hasbunaullahu wa ni’mal Wakiil.semuga Dia bukakan hati Pemimpin-pemimpin kita untuk berwaspada.
terimakasih Tun.
So would another 50 years enough? or 100 years? Just give us a target? And how are we to measure?, etc. I am cool to be 2nd class citizen for that period.
There must be a better way other than just award the contract to a bumi contractor knowing that they will not capable to complete the job OR endup giving out to sub-contractor who are majority none-bumi or even foreign. AND even if that BUMI contractor is a capable contractor to complete the job by themselve IS THAT MEAN the majority of the Bumi will be benefited? or merely just balance the ratio between bumi and none-bumi.
I guess every human/race is good in vertain area and weak in something else. No point pushing them to venture in the line they are weak in by “awarding” the contract.Safe the money by awarding to the lowest price and use the money for other area that more beneficiary to the rakyat i.e education, monorial,….
if we have tried a method for 20 years and is not satisfy with the result, lets look some other ways.

Terima Kasih
I can guess what Tun is trying to get at. What caused May 13? Was it caused by disparity of wealth? Was it not caused by instigations and misquided speeches of fury? Today we still have the same disparity of wealth. Give another 50 years and we will still have the disparity of wealth. US of A has gone through more than 200 years of independence and there is still disparity of wealth.
So how did Europe solved Communism? They worked hard and created a middle class. They enact laws that respect the toil and sweat of the individual and control the monopolies of capitalism. Communism is an extreme result of the Tzar’s rule and European excesses in China. You can see the irony here. Now we have questionable implementations of policies that has resulted in the majority 65% bumi vote split and in disarray. Perkasa is not the result of the minority vote. It is the splinter from the majority.
We do not need more wealth. Look around you and it is no longer 1940 nor 1957. Every gentleman has 2 cars and 2 houses and couple of affairs. This is no longer about livelihood nor survival. It is about bigotry.

Salaam Tun,
Yes, I dislike all racist talk from ANY Malaysian, especially from you, of all Malaysian. If any Malaysian can’t STOP it, then…keep on talking racism, AND for heaven sake stop the gibberish about ONE Malaysia.
Can’t wish you, or any Malaysian “HAPPY MERDEKA DAY” as we are not merdeka yet…obviously.
Why should we bow down to the greedy. They already have everything and this show they want to hog everything to themselves, not sharing it with anyone. Why should we bow down to these type of people whims?
Dear Tun,
I agree with what you have written. Looking at the assets ownership, the Malays are not ready to have open competition with the non Malays yet at this point in time. Let us be sensible and reasonable. I am sure the Malays would not like to be perceived as being weak forever. May I suggest we put another 25 years of protection, another generation, with some adjustments.

Salam Tun,
Dulu negara kita stabil. Tak ada pun nak sebut pasal racism ni. Sejak slogan 1Malaysia ni la, semua benda ni jadi. Sekarang ni pemimpin UMNO (kecuali Tan Sri Muhyiddin) pun takut utk mempertahankan hak org Melayu. Mason baiklah ada PERKASA.
Well Tun, when a retired PM who owns a few bakeries cannot bake his craft in peace anymore, I say we have some serious thin ice situation which some of us may be walking on somewhere. It
One of the root of the problem is lack of enforcement! Whilst enforcement of all policies is done on public and semi-govt sectors, there is tendency for lack of enforcement of the rules and policies on private sector especially on small and medium sizes companies.
Whilst the economic contribution of this sector is undeniable – it should also be noted that the law-breaking incidence in this sector is also very high. Under-declared income, unlicensed activities, discriminatory employment policy and employment practices are rampant. The amounts involved might be small but sikit-sikit jadi bukit.
Just like corruption, this black market activities represent leakages of the economy that drained the country’s capacity. The usual outcry will be ‘jangan kacau lah, kita mau cari makan sahaja’. But if they want to be serious in being fair than the law must be applied across the board. Yes, some of the rent-seeking companies will also be affected and they will be making noises. But that’s what discipline is about right?
Yang Amat Dihormati Tun,
I really love the way you write this. It hits straight to the target. MCA and most chinese in our country are the REAL racist, always desire to take away the not so special rights of the malays and at the same time demand for more chinese schools and many other chinese things. I felt so annoyed when this Chua made the remarks. Maybe he was not thinking straight when he said that or maybe he was too dumb to realize that if not for malays’ votes, he would not have won the election.
If they can touch on our rights, why can’t we do the same to theirs? Can we demand that all vernacular schools and the kinds be closed? Let us all be truly Malaysian and stop from associating ourselves with countries like China & India. Why on earth you need China Press? What does that mean? To all chinese and indians, love your country! (Malaysia of course!). For how long more you must be associated with China and India? You should realise that insisting to be chinese and indians won’t do any good to you. While your kinds can adapt well in Thailand and Indonesia, why can’t you do it here in Malaysia?
Thank you Tun for giving me the space and i pray that someday we all can be a true Malaysian who speaks fluent malay, who respects the malay rulers, who goes to the same school, who reads same newspaper and watches the same tv channels. Enough with chinese and indian schools, chinese and tamil newspaper, chinese and tamil tv channels etc.
Thanks and Selamat Menyambut Hari Kemerdekaan Ke-53 kepada semua.
Dear Tun Mahathir
Salam Merdeka Dear Tun and fella readers.
Meritocracy will work if:
1- We establish a powerful body to oversee operations in both private and goverment entities. Those who practise racism policies in work place will jailed or even whipped. Formulate new Acts that will deter racism in business dealings.
2- Wealth distribution to the poor regardless of racial background, impose high taxes on the Malaysian riches, provide free education and free medical to all ( like Finland). Jail term and whips for tax evaders ( we all know which races who’ll avoid taxes at all cost). Give generous tax allowance to those who practise near zero racism.
3. Penalise monopolies like what the US do the microsoft. Here in Malaysia we have some problems with price control, especially when near Hariraya.
4. More seeds and venture capitals for new businesses that operate inline with nation building policies, ie multi-racial company. Airasia is one good example of multi-racial corporation.
5. Now, how they wish that we would retain the NEP.
Dear Tun Mahathir
Greetings, Tun. I resonate your thoughts on the issue. As long as there is disparity between communities, meritocracy is just another word for racialism.
It is indeed a reality today that Malay produce and Malay labour is under valued or at least valued lesser than that delivered by the Chinese and maybe some Indians too. But who do you blame for that?
I say you blame UMNO and its leaders who have for a very long time done things on the assumption that the non-Malays are the enemy or the people to beat. Underpinning that assumption is that Malays cannot be as good. You actually make the Malays believe that.
And so, now that the non-Malays are taken to be hostile, what happens is that for the average Malay, he only sees his market, his customers as only Malays. He produces to sell to the Malays and he labours to deliver his service to the Malays. That is why you have nasi lemak being sold to the Malay market for RM3 whereas those Malays who have defied these assumptions and gone about to set up their food stalls in Chinese areas have found they can sell the same stuff for RM5 or more. Not only that, they find that there is no hostility towards them or their produce. Indeed about the only food stall in a very Chinese Food court that I used to go to which always had a que was the Nasi Lemak stall owned by a Malay.
Same thing applies to labour too. The Chinese graduate is able to obtain on average a higher starting salary compared to a Malay graduate. Why? No prejudices here. Just that Malay labour comes a little cheaper, that is all. But for those who have ventured out and performed, they know that if they had started their careers with prejudices impacting on them, this normally does not last long.
Calling for Malay Unity or Chinese unity or Indian unity in Malaysia is the worse kind of call on any community. You perpetuate hostility, suspicion and prejudice. I cannot understand how this can be good. And for an Eighty four year old man not to see it is really such a shame and a waste.
Greeting Tun
I’m a mixed blood born (Indian & Chinese), neither I hate to be racist as well and I was grown up in your PM era. I’m a businessman in profession dealing in logistics, and I’m dealing a lot in government and private sectors. Here are few issues I notice and I like to suggest, in how the bumiputra and others races to be competent.
1. Yes, you would like to see the bumi’s to be independent and success, but how? Why others races have to work triple the effort to be successful, after all I’m proud to be a Malaysian and many others races felt the same too. In others countries, they don’t seeing me as Indian, Chinese or Malay but they are notifying me as Malaysian, and why in my own country, we have quotas…?
2. In view: My father was an army, his last position before his retirement was a Corporal, and at time he don’t really has the strong financial to further my education into local university and even worst, my scholarship application was rejected due to quotas, I was upset and angry with the government. This is where i started to work my way up to assist my family economy.
3. In view: Bumi’s been given to many priorities, scholarships and tenders, this is a great task given by the government to help the bumis to come up in life but it’s only a handful of them succeed. I don’t blame the government neither yours’ visions and missionaries as it benefited others as well. You had done a great tasks as a leader and your success due to your ambitious and hard works.
4. In reality: Tun, I’m not been racist but I just want to help all bumis to realize that a lot of government efforts had been pouring to them but the attitudes of complacent and contented are limited their development, and most got carried out to be rich and famous till they’ve forgotten others in race. Many of my colleagues are bumis and only one out of ten are really work their way up constantly but others likewise, whereby five out of nine will have second wives (mostly)and the rest will enjoy their luxuries in cars (mostly) and properties (less). Attitude of showing off and contented, which had reluctant to move higher.
5. In reality: Those who in kampung, mostly reluctant to accept the changes and competition, they are happy with the concept of moderation. Bumi’s must change their perceptions, be innovation and allow the changes to take place and anticipate in competition. Let this flow in their mind to thinks big and creatives but live in moderate manners. Just like in Chinese says, “today I can spend RM 1000.00 but tomorrow I MUST earn 3 times more”. this is only the concept and we need to plant it in our mind to work hard and smart.
Lastly, I would like to take this opportunity to say sorry if my writing a little bit of hastily but I’m a Malaysian and I’m proud to be a Malaysian, and I would want to see all of us work our way out together loud and be spiritual of Malaysian.
Regards
Douglas Sivasothey
This Is Their Hidden, Actual Agenda – ATTACK THE MALAYS!!
“…See how fast these parasites embrace a Malay who condemns the NEP? Where were these people all this while when Nazir was busy making fat profits for CIMB? Why no call to make him finance minister then? But the moment he said, “I have strong opinions about how the NEP has been bastardised over the years” and “… every time I mention the NEP, I get blasted,” these scums joyously elevated him to saintly status, the Melayu Godchild who will front their crusade to dismantle the NEP and other constitutional privileges of the Melayu Tuan Tanahs..”

**It doesnt take a genius to figure out that malaysians in general are becoming more racist intrinsically may it be the malays, chinese or indians for the past decades.
**Lets cut the chase and stop being hipocrites.If we are being truthfully honest and modest to ourselves, we have to admit that we are if not largely but merely racist in every single way. The question is why are we racist? The answer in my humble opinion is that we are genetically engineered by Allah s.w.t to be a racist which is in my own definition to be protective and defensive to our own race. Its is coded in our genes.
**If the idea of defending our own race is labelled as racist, than im sure most of us wont mind if we ourselves are being labelled as racist.
**It is not a bad thing to be racist as long as u do not crossover other peoples prerogative and merits and by doing so constitue hatred among other races and creates extreme racist. Its the law of action and reaction. Now that is a bad thing which we do not want to exist in malaysia.
**so are we racist? Tepuk dada tanyalah selera..
Salam Tun,
I agree with you.
I came from a mix parentage, daily encounter with racist remarks on daily chores, work related matters, education, name it, nearly everything; be it from my Malay/Chinese family, friends & colleagues….sigh
Salam Tun Dr,
I am 54, I have recently registered to an IPTA, for my honor’s degree, and I am a Malay. I have not enjoyed just yet, thank you.
10 points on Meritocracy
1) If it’s about your legacy, people ought to respect you with dignity, but my point is on meritocracy:
2) a recently used ‘American-English’ word back in 1958 which means a system in which the talented among the commons, are chosen to moved ahead based on merit with highest mental capacity in democracy;
3) popularized by 1st Prime Minister of Singapore, L K Y, his spoken Malay story;
4) why the hoohahs, simply, meritocracy is ‘a great strategy of PAP, in sheep’s clothing, DAP, against the Malays in this country, in the name of democracy, incorporated by the British, the MCP, sounds familiar, don’t we?;
5) need to remind you, all the Tun and Tan Sri;
6)they have managed to snookered our Dato Seri;
6) not just Ketuanan Tanah Melayu’s land, but air and sea;
7) we have to pay dearly for our courtesy;
8) no crooked bridge with crooked people shall u see!;
9) now, what about our goal vision 2020?;
10) In 10 years time, will we be, a psychologically liberated society?
maha si tua
Tun,
From my personal observation, the three main races in Malaysia are already united.
In particular, Malays are happily working with Chinese and Chinese are ever willing to help Malays.
Therefore, communal riot between ethnic Malay and Chinese will never happen again in Malaysia.
And, I am sure the “racist agenda” would not be achieved by just a “handful” of racists>/b>.
Fortunately, Malays, in particular, have now learned how to differentiate the real motives behind an agenda, be it political or …
Let’s not waste time, let’s move forward. Efforts should quickly be made to “improve quality of life of Malaysian” and further unite Malay, Chinese and Indian.
Shall we ?

Dear Tun and all,
I am bumi. If many Malay proud of being subsidized or protected, I feel the otherwise. Protection only for babies. And time has come for us to grow up and face the real world, the free market. Let the protection part handled by law generally.
I know myself and I fully aware that my brain is not as good as my fellow chinese friend. If weak brains like mine protected and subsidized, it will be like that forever and even worst. Over time, our brain becomes smaller and our fat becomes thicker and finally we will loose to the wiser.
People fought through hell before their nation emerged back to glory. That’s the natural law seen on historical stones. But, I do not want that to happen to us Malay. So, our leaders must do superb job to polish up rakyat brains and put them at the par with others while from time to time we must allow ourselves to fight equally and rise from our box to be independent.
It is a tough job, but it is possible.
Assalamualaikum Tun.
Maksud Tun kali ni, orang Melayu adalah miskin?
Wah hebatnya Dr Mohd Asri Zainal Abidin.Tak sia-sia berceramah sampai bukan muslim pun boleh bagi sumbangan pada umat Islam dalam ruang utama masjid.Nak-nak pulak kalau orang tu masuk Islam kan? Lagilah besar pahalanya.
Semoga orang Melayu semakin tidak miskin.Boleh guna duit sumbangan buat program agama.
Bersyukurlah pada Allah.Wah hebatnya…
Terima kasih Tun.
Facts about us,Malay
Kita mesti memiliki Tanah yg ada.Jangan dijual.
TAL PERLU pembangunan.Pembangunan perlu economy,perlu ilmu.
Kita belum sampai taraf persaingan dengan bangsa lain.
Jika belum bersedia jangan buka gelanggang.
Tewas kita,tergadai Tanah.
Hidup zaman Hang Tuah,berkaki ayam pun OK apa,
Tanah kita tak tergadai,Pembangunan yg mencakar bukan milik kita,kita hanya menang syiok saja!
Kita punya Tanah,Mereka punya economy,
Jangan gadai tanah kita dengan economy mereka.
Pembangunan memang satu kemajuan,TAPI apa erti pembangunan yg mana kita orang melayu akan ketinggalan dan kehilangan hak hak kita,
seperti yg berlaku pada kaum melayu Singapura.
Dahulu tinggal kampung dengan halaman,
Sekarang merempat tinggal macam rumah burung mempati,hidup berhutang kat HDB,banyak bayar bil yg tak sewajarnya,
tembok,ceiling,flooring pun konsi dengan jiran,nak kena bayar parking dan sebagainya.
Dapat kita tedur,makan,pakain untuk anakbini kita
walaupun Kampung,
ADALAH SERIBU BAIK daripada
hidup bandar berhutang sana sini,tak aman,tak segar,stress,
ada makanan pun tak bolih makan,sebagai hidup dalam impian bukan kenyataan.Tak ada pengertian.
Jangan fikir orang yg pakai tie itu hidup senang,
yg berselipa tu hidup susah.
YANG PENTING.
Kita mesti fahamkan pelabur,pendatang yang mereka adalah pelabur,pendatang BUKAN bertujuan menjajah Tanah kita secara economi.
Kita mesti pastikan perkara ini tak berlaku seperti Singapura.
Pada mula buat baik,mendatang,berdagang,sekarang mereka menindas orang melayu secara senyap dan orang melayu merempat
dibumi sendiri.
Salam Tun!
saya sangat bangga sebab setap kali Tun lawan habis-habis untuk kaum bumiputra dan melayu di malaysia,tapi adakah itu benar?sebab setakat saya lihat banyak member-member saya terutamanya orang melayu semakin miskin kecuali orang-orang umno yang semakin kaya.saya rasa Tun cuba bodoh kan orang -orang melayu jika niat Tun kalau betul dah lama rakyat bumi dah kaya kat Malaysia,tak perlu lah 20 tahun.bila Tun beritahu kaum bumi bererti kaum indon yang kat malaysia sekali kan? orang-orang melayu sendiri tak cukup makan buat apa banyak sangat orang indon yang mempuyai ic kat malaysia sekarang ini?dengan taraf bumi pula itu.kalau orang indon yang datang kesini secara haram melalui sampan boleh dapat taraf bumi kami ini semua lompat dari awan ke? Tun adalah bapa negara Malaysia yang modern dan kami adalah anak-anak Tun yang tercinta bolehke Tun mengguna kan rasic trum card dan cuba pecah belah anak anak Tun walaupun kami adalah di takdirkan sebagai anak tiri kat Malaysia,adakah salah kami di lahir dengan agama lain iaitu agama yang tertua di dunia ini? saya memang tak faham kelakuan Tun.walaubagaimanapun saya memang tak setuju jika cina nak tadbir nagara ini,sebab saya ada banyak pengalaman semasa saya kerja di singapura.mereka lagi darsyat rasic tapi tak nampak.mereka ini seperti lalang mana ada angin dia belah di sana sekarang dia orang dah ada masaalah dengan melayu sebab itu dia orng nak cuba racunkan orang india tapi kami bukan bodoh,kami tahu niat jahat mereka orang macam utaya dan vethamurti boleh lah percaya kata-kata mereka tapi bukan kami.saya lebih suka dan cinta dengan orang-orang melayu yang ada kemanusiahan jadi Tun jangalah cuba racun kan mereka dari segi poltic sebab Tun adalah seorang yang hormat sekali di Negara ini.
If a bumiputra contractor gets a project from any of the ministries, then he or she would definitely go to a distributor and of course, the distributor must be a non-bumi especially Chinese.
If the protection is abolished, then the distributor would easily win the contracts from the government.
It is very true that a bumiputra would get next to nothing if he or she interested to get a project from private sector.
Yes, anyone can say the bumiputras are not competent enough but I found that this is not true.
That is all..
Dear Tun,
1. I hate to discuss this subject too but the other races are too much, lately, demanding all sort of things.
2. I was once a contractor and I remember when ever the government award a job to a Bumiputra contractor, most of the subcontract works would go to other races mainly the Chinese. But if private jobs from listed companies control by other races, it would be miracle for a bumiputra contractors to get even the invitation to tender!! all subcontracts works would go to their skin. Somebody should do real audit in companies like Gamuda, IJM or even YTL..isn’t the gevernment helping the Chinese? all of them secured millions of government contracts and only few bumiputra contractors are involved..
3. I was in Jakarta last week when there was a big demonstration, burning Malaysian flags and so on. It is sad to see our flag being burnt.
4. I was talking to a Chinese friend who was totally against the government’s policy to support bumiputra. I told him if he is not happy then he should consider seriously migrate to Australia or Singapore. In Singapore they have do not have that policy except they do not allow bumiputra to hold important post in the government, police and army. It would be better and suit him well.
I am not racist but I am just trying to be practical for those who dislike our policy.
Salam
Mdrose.
Tun,
Your statement on your esteemed blog that “Everyone is a racist” is a classic one. I take it that “Every one” includes you as well!
What an honest, candid and bold admission! I admire your openness, your straightforward talk! It appears to me that in our country being a racist leader could catapult one to the highest position! What a shame it is! What a sad state of affairs! There won’t be redemption or salvation to our communities if racism reared its ugly head time and again!

Selamat Menyambut Hari Kemerdekaan kepd Tun sekeluarga,
Nowdays it would seem that being a Malay comes with great rensponsibility.
We have to endure all the comments and criticism from others and at the same time refrain ourselves from saying the same thing.
If we talked abount the position of the Malays it is automatically racists.
If they talked their position it is protecting their rights.
