Complaining about RM5.80 is arrogant says Muhammad Taib
Between a sensitivites and a fact!
Muhammad Taib keeps talking about sensivity of feelings when he had in fact affect the feelings of many Malaysians when he married (subsequently) divorced a Princess without the knowledge of her father and in the capacity as the leader of a State being "convicted" for not declaring the RM2million cash in Brisbane airport.
That was definitely much more sensitive to majority rather then a fact that RM5.80 for meals a day was unreasonable for detainees in police custody. All human beings should be treated as a living person and deserve the necessary food for their well being though they are not asking for chicken chop or KFC or nasi beriyani from Perth restaurant and etc. but just a decent meal.
Teresa was humble enough to accept the food but I doubt Muhammad Taib would eat the same given his extravagant ways as in Brisbane!
We have seen the UMNO elite rich like Muhammad Taib driving Mercs, living in bungalows, travel in business class and etc. but the poor in the villages or estates remain as they are. Does complaining about the meagre RM5.80 meal means arrogant that affects the feelings of the poor?
Even the poor of all races are asking as to what the BN/UMNO Government have done for 50 years when many are still in the same predicament as pre Independence economic status. Eradicating poverty had been the agenda of the Government since independence but till today we are still eradicating and does it need another 50 years to eradicate???
Is Muhammad Taib saying that the poor should remain poor and don't complain when complaining is equivalent to arrogance in his vocabulary!

Better to hear about giant melons and MyFuture rather then BN/UMNO politics
Frankly, I hardly buy or read newspapers today given the local political issues hogging the limelight daily never seem to end where stories like giant melon puts farmer and wife in limelight are even much more refreshing to the minds.
Other interesting developments is on South Africa's Mbeki agrees to party call to resign ends his nine year reign as President succeeding Nelson Mandela amidst corruption allegations. Do we smell some similarity here in Malaysia?
On the local front, Pak Lah not pushed to step down, says Umno information chief despite earlier reports on Pak Lah under pressure to exit. One thing for sure is that even the UMNO Supreme Council is in cahoots and splitin the middle.
And a bare it all by Information Minister that Government radio station Radio24 used to spread ruling party propaganda instead of benefitting the country as a whole! Why does the rakyat (people) want to pay taxes to listen to Government propaganda 24 hours?
He goes on blaring "As a government radio station, it should not be misused by anyone, including to disseminate matters negative to society and contrary to government policies," and then "If you do not agree with government policies, don't be a government employee. Resign."
Malaysians can expect at least "MyFuture" to repair the racial ties in this peace loving country. While that program may be more suitable to the BN/UMNO leaders primarily, majority Malaysians irregardless of race, religion and culture on the ground remain united as one while the leaders of UMNO play racial politics to remain in power. Read Zaid’s simple recipe to reforms for a short dose of UMNO power play.

Between ISA, takeover, swap and the "dreams"
Malaysians and people around the world are apalled over the ISA arrest and Che Det says no justification in arresting bloggers! Meanwhile, Semi Value had woken up to comment "Arrest anyone who raises racial issues!"
With Anwar in a rush to call for a Parliamentary emergency session to have a no-confidence vote on PM rejected ouright, it would only be wise for the Abdullah Badawi to pick up the challenge and "bury" Anwar once for all.
Should Badawi carry on denying the accusations thrown at him as well as avoiding such calls, it will only lead to more Malaysians believing that Anwar was right. Badawi as a PM should have the confidence to look up and this presents him a great opportunity to end Pakatan Rakyat's challenge besides proving to rakyat that Anwar was all lies.
Meanwhile the botak (baldy) speaks again saying ‘Don’t speculate on Anwar and ISA’ but would suggest that he looks into the origin of this speculation. Who ISA be invoke on the individuals who starts the speculation to be fair?
The people's view of Badawi as at to-date has always been a weak leader, coward and corrupt while using the ISA to "closed-up" the wrong doings and the perception of the rakyat will continue of this sentiment till Badawi gets into Parliament for the no confidence vote.
Swapping portfolios does not absolve the issues today but swapping positions would definitely help in ending the attacks to a certain extent though Najib would also start facing his long standing accusations of involvement in the many military deals and Mongolian Altantuya Shaaribu brutal murder.
Judging from Najib's body language and facial expression during the press conference with Badawi, he has the uneasy feeling and started questioning the logic behind Badawi's swap. The other BN "Yes Man(s)" say aye aye to the swapping. He knows for certain that it was a wrong move but Najib's wife is now dreaming of becoming the "First Lady".
It remains to be seen if the PM's son-in-law ambitions of being the youngest PM in 2 years time remains a distant dream or reality. If Badawi continues this trend then it can be non existence.
Common Badawi, pick up the courage (grab your balls as well) to face the no confidence vote in Parliament!
Bury Anwar and Pakatan Rakyat once for all (if not, you always remained a coward in the eyes of the rakyat)!

Another BN "Project" Embarrasment
2008/09/17
LAOS SEA GAMES: Malaysia left out of contributors' list
Zulhilmi Supaat, BERNAMA
KUALA LUMPUR, Wed:
While most of the Asean countries are helping Laos, the 2009 Sea Games host, in cash or kind for the 25th edition of the Games, Malaysia has been left out of the contributors list.
The reason — lack of a proper mechanism on who should initiate the effort to help Laos.
“On Malaysia’s part, who should take the initiative to help Laos? The Youth and Sports Ministry, the Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) or Kok Chi?” OCM honorary secretary Datuk Sieh Kok Chi said when contacted by Bernama here today.
He was asked to comment on whether the Laos National Sports Committee (LNSC) had sought help from the OCM for the Games preparation.
A check by Bernama on several Laos Sea Games websites found that most of the Asean countries are contributing to the cash-strapped Laos which will host the bienniel event in Vientiane, on Dec 13-21 next year.
Read the rest of the story here.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another BN Malaysian Government classic screw up administration and embarassment to the world!
The Minister of Sports then should be held responsible for this mess and should step down immediately. So which Minister of Sports which caused the country's image getting screwed?
Present Youth and Sports Minister is Dato' Ismail Sabri bin Yaakob while the previous was the tomboyish and pants favored, Dato' Sri Azalina Othman. So who should be held accountable here if judging from this statement below?
OCM honorary secretary Datuk Sieh Kok Chi said the Laotian Sports Ministry had signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Malaysia’s Youth and Sports Ministry early last year on cooperation for the Games but since then, there had been no follow-up.
If we were to look at last year then it would be Azalina and perhaps she was involved very much in the aborted 2008 MYR17million Champions Youth Cup (CYC) or there were no proper handover after the March 8, 2008 General Elections.
It would be interesting to note as to why even the present Minister had not acted on this assuming the MOU had clearly stated the level of cooperation. Was this an oversight? Or the UMNO Minister was heavily engrossed with the March 8 aftermath followed by the internal party fighting and onslaught by the Opposition to takeover the Federal Government by Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim.
Whatever it is, Abdullah Badawi's cabinet had yet again failed to deliver and upkeep the image of the country in the eyes of the world!
He being the leader during this period should accept responsibility of this debacle and resign like Zaid Ibrahim did which was highly respectable by Malaysians.

Sept 16 - The Bomb That Never Exploded
By S. Retnanathan
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 16 (Bernama) -- Soon after the general election on March 8 this year, the date Sept 16 began to top conversations, be it at coffeeshops or lobbies of five-star hotels.
Every opportunity that the man-on-the-street found to strike a conversation with someone from a political party, even if that someone was just an ordinary member, the date almost always came to the fore.
Sept 16 was the date most referred to by the media in the last six months, so much so that even those who were oblivious to Malaysian politics, or politics as a whole, latched on to it as if it was some feel-good medication.
The date became a focal point after Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) advisor Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim dropped a bombshell less than a month after the general election, claiming he had enough Barisan Nasional (BN) members of parliament (MPs) wanting to cross over to the loosely formed pact of PAS, DAP and PKR dubbed Pakatan Rakyat (PR), by that date.

Syed Hamid: All is calm despite rumours

Syed Hamid: All is calm despite rumours
By LOURDES CHARLES
KUALA LUMPUR: Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar assured members of the public that the situation in the country was calm and no untoward incidents took place as were rumoured.
“There was no change in Federal Government as rumoured or anticipated by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Untoward incidents? Shocking!
I live in Kuala Lumpur and am in shock that untoward incidents rumour had been circulating as reported above as it was my first time hearing it. Malaysians at large are aware of the ANwar Ibrahim Sepetember 16 but not untoward incidents.
Syed Hamid should reveal more of the rumours and take immediate action on the rumour mongers instead of making statements in the press. If the rumour starts from this press statement from Syed Hamid, then the police should investigate Syed Hamid on the source and charge accordingly for creating uneasiness or perhaps use ISA on these people.
We expect Syed Hamid to reveal more and actions taken of such rumours which is alarming when KLites were moving around doing their daily chores as usual and here Syed Hamid comes up with a rumour of untoward incident.

Happy Malaysia Day!
Wishing all Malaysians "HAPPY MALAYSIA DAY"!
September 16, 2008
May this date be the dawn of a New Malaysia.
Zaid : I Quit
The Botak aka "Dumb(o)" should read this article as to how he had single handedly caused so much uproar and anxiety among Malaysians including the loved ones of the Sin Chew Daily reporter TAN HOON CHENG in 'My 18 hours under the ISA'.
Meanwhile, Zaid Ibrahim was a respectable and exemplary Minister who resigns over the controversy surrounding the ISA arrests and of the opinion that Internal Security Act against civilians was wrong.
Further "Dumb(o)" fouled up which says use of ISA is un-Islamic!
On another front, Che Det has this to say "Wonder what has happened to Mazlan Harun's report to the Anti Corruption Agency regarding corrupt acts by Dato Seri Abdullah and Dato Seri Najib, President and Deputy President respectively of UMNO".

ISA : PM and A Dumb(o)
Malaysian ISA arrests at the whims and fancies of the troubled PM and his dumb(o).
Danau Girang Field Centre's research on jumbos’ social life got to include that dumb(o) as well. He has to understand his family tree of Syed to understand that he is also a "pendatang" and genetics as a lawyer which is an embarassment to the legal fraternity.
MPs of ruling party (including de facto Law Minister) and opposition have issued condemning statements on the ISA detention while DAP taking a step further on Teresa Kok's arrest by saying let the courts decide. An abuse of ISA, says Suhakam while journalist groups decry over reporter arrest. De facto Law Minister Zaid says "ISA should be used specifically for terrorists, communists, subversive elements".
The dumb(o) meanwhile confirms his stupidity with 2 statements:
1. 'Order to arrest did not come from me' but ISA detention letters are signed
2. 'Reporter’s life was threatened’ was the reason for her arrest was the most laughable and
embarassing statement from a a Home Minister who signs the ISA detention letters! MCA’s
Fong: Home Minister’s explanation ‘unacceptable’.
While the recent ISA arrests had attracted foreign interests including US summons Malaysian envoy.
A mass rally with police permit planned to celebrate "Perhimpunan Perdana Sambutan Hari Malaysia" on September 16 by opposition besides calling for the release of the remaining 2 ISA detainees.
As long as we have some BN/UMNO flip flops and dumbo(s) running the country, Malaysia will continue to remain controversial and create unnecessary issues which people of all races have learnt to live harmoniously under one roof called Malaysia minus the lawmakers and cronies who have economic interests as long as BN/UMNO stays in power.
Malaysians simply don't understand why the BN/UMNO leaders have to behave as though they own the country when in actual fact they were placed in those positions through a process of election(s) and is accountable to the rakyat for all their actions.
It is only right for the leaders to resign if they failed in meeting the rakyat's expectations and Zaid Ibrahim's move is respectable.

The Ahmad Aftermath
BN/UMNO Supreme Council finally decided on a "token" Ahmad Ismail suspended, stripped of posts for 3yrs to keep BN non-Malays component party members happy but Malaysians have not forgotten the other rhetorics of Khairy Jamaluddin, Hishamuddin and few others.
However, Ahmad accepts punishment but stays defiant but makes many UMNO Penang members unhappy. While other BN parties must act against errant members there are still calls for a more severe punishment from unhappy individuals including two petrol station owners see red.
Would MCA and Gerakan do a turnaround from their decisions prior to the suspension decision? Another flip flop or they have seen enough to convince them that enough is enough.
While this debate was going on, Dr M agrees to rejoin Umno and indirectly sending shivers down Abdullah's camp while Dr M’s return to Umno welcomed, says Zahid. Muhyiddin confirms Dr M returning to Umno and immediately says PM should step down before 2010 which PM surprised by Muhyiddin’s stand.
Dr M’s return: Umno will decide, says PM
UMNO should welcome Dr M's with an open mind to stabilise the Malays in UMNO and further pressure Abdullah to step down early instead of the 2010 deadline. While Tok Guru says Pakatan will benefit if Dr M rejoins Umno.
A further encouraging sign is Government Lifts Block On Websites, Blogs! So it was indeed the Government whom had blocked the websites inclduing Malaysia Today???
Malaysians at large accept the personality of the respective individuals and it's a known fact that you can't change a person unless the he/she helps to themselves. So forget about calls for punishment and etc. as the best method of punishment is to kick BN out for good!
Meanwhile, after a 10 year battle, PSM is now a ... paaarty!

A moment emotional madness and a profound look at racism
Ahmad's supporters tear up Tsu Koon's photo.
Is this necessary?
A moment of emotional madness against a second thought on the consequences arising!
Police report lodged against Umno man for ‘shoot the reporter’ remark and what's next will arise from the uncalled for boiling emotions when we are all "pendatangs" or temporary occupants of this land called Earth!
With Ahmad I don't owe an apology holding his grounds and hopes BN council will be fair to him while Ahmad said "if you think that what I did is a crime that warrants my arrest under the ISA, so be it". With his follow-up comments, it does not look like the issue would just end with a BN council action where Ahamd looks very much to be the scapegoat instead of the similar statements of Hishammuddin and KJ.
The State BN Youth Chief had tendered his resignation citing that it is not appropriate for hims to hold the position in lieu of the strained relations.
Chinese component parties severing ties and boycotting the division, it goes to show that unity in BN is at it's most critical situation although PM ays Barisan will not fall apart. Code of ethics for all BN parties soon which is not necessary in actual fact if everyone respect each other's existence in Malaysia and look at each other as Malaysian rather than race based.
The State police chief and Armed Forces Chief had called on for peace and calm to all.
It simply goes to show how matured and stubborn are these bunch of people towards a united Malaysia besides looking at the country in a bigger perspective!
Being leaders of the main ruling coalition party and people's representative, it's shameful and demeaning to the the people who have elected you into the position.
Let's all work towards one country and one Bangsa Malaysia! (minus hardcore racist who still stick to their belief)

Thai Court Finds PM Guilty
Thai Court Finds PM Guilty - Bernama
By D. Arul RajooBANGKOK, Sept 9 -- Embattled Thai Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej was stripped of his post Tuesday after Thailand's Constitution Court found him guilty of violating Article 267 of the constitution by hosting cooking programmes while still in office.
Would the courts in Malaysia be brave enough to uphold justice and not let "hidden hands" rule a decision to restore public confidence in the judiciary system of Malaysia?

A Minister Less in Malaysian Cabinet
NAJIB: Kurup no longer a deputy minister!
This was following KK High Court Declares Kurup's Victory In Pensiangan Null And Void.
And Ansari Abdullah, the Sabah PKR chief, said the the ruling meant “one down, 29 more to go” in referring to the 30 seats required by Pakatan Rakyat leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim for him to keep his promise of bringing down the Barisan Nasional government on Sept 16, which is also Malaysia Day.

Kuala Lumpur ~ City of Illegal Advert Posters?
Cities around the world have many proud nicknames given and an identity of the city to the world. Some examples are;
Bangkok ~ Venice of The East or City of Angels
Stockholm ~ Venice of The North
Hollywood ~ Tinseltown
London ~ The Square Mile
Las Vegas ~ Sin City
Manila ~ Pearl Of The Orient
New York ~ Gotham
Not to be outdone, Kuala Lumpur would stand handsdown for the dubious title of "City of Illegal Advertising Posters". I wonder why the local authorities could not take action against the "pole and tree decorators" when their contact numbers are clearly displayed on the posters?
It's happening all around Malaysia in this instance and had been going on for sometime now. Isn't this the duty of the enforcers to ensure Malaysia remains clean and attractive to the visitors of the world?
A sure answer from local authorities would be that they lack enforcement manpower but this is no excuse as these illegal posters is now habitual for years.
Should the enforcement bring down such posters, public funds are being wasted in cleaning up the mess left by these unethical advertisers and strict actions should be imposed on such offenders.

Anyone could tell that the box pasted with the Astro Installer's advert belongs to the public and the Dewan Bandaraya colors confirms it.
(b)
Aa assortment of advertisements and colors to decorate the traffic lights! Will it prove as a distraction to motorists?
(c)
(d)
Another piece of modern art in Malaysia!
(e)
(f)
Trees along the roads are not spared and could be a distraction to the motorists nearing the traffic lights hung in a row.
(g)
With the Government Department logo on the banner, we can safely assume that the event is being endorsed by the Malaysian Government and supporting the placements of the banners. Is the authorities being pro-active to keep the city clean from such illegal banners.
Come on lah, RMP traffic police! Be consistent for all....
I had a recent encounter with a Sargeant ranked traffic police officer named Haizad recently and he was polite in issuing summons for a traffic offence for beating red lights. It was green when we passed the lights but he had claimed it was red and challenged to view the cameras in balai. (police station)
Just to cut the story short, he requested driving license and NRIC before issuing summons without talking further. Sign sini and terima kasih! (your singnature here and thank you)
Even with his sunglasses on, I recognised him as a resident of the Kelompok flats in Keramat adjacent to Taman Keramat and Setiawangsa which are highly populated with police and military personnel.
Sargeant Haizad's action is commendable for issuing traffic offences eventhough he was heading home (not too sure if he was off duty) for various offences in his kawasan (area). This, he had been equally efficient and consistent (he claims to be doing this everytime he goes home).
BUT what irks me most are the number of motorcyclists (some with pillion) riding around the area without helmets and I would personally belief some are too young for even a "P" license. Aren't these group of "brave young" riders dangering the lives of other road users if they don't treasure theirs?
They come out in droves in the evenings patrolling the residential area. Some riding alongside their girfriends and weaving through cars at a speed. Even the school going students are riding aimlessly without helmets and shouting their heads off at times which is simply disturbing to the residents.
There were many close calls and accidents especially at the Sri Ayu flats traffic lights junction and I wonder if Sargeant Haizad would bring his team there for an Operasi on these motorcyclists. I doubt the police would do that as chances of detaining childlen of the servicemen would be high and placed them in a tight situation.
This Setiawangsa area is also home to FT Minister, Datuk Zulhasnan Rafique, the Army Chief and many more VIPs! It's not about the few VIP individuals but the road safety of the other thousands of motorist using the roads in that area and keeping Malaysia a civilized society of road users in equal terms as how Sargeant Haizad patrols other traffic offenders in his city kampung in earnest.
Come on lah, RMP traffic police! Be consistent in application and not target us the civilians only!

Gerakan may quit Barisan
The Sunday Star September 7, 2008
KUALA LUMPUR: Gerakan will leave Barisan Nasional if it cannot play a "meaningful role" within the coalition, said acting president Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon. [Advice : Since when did the BN say Gerakan did a good job administrating Penang and not to be a follower to UMNO whim and fancy?]
The party is now reviewing its role in Barisan, he said, just a day after he had declared Gerakan had no intention of quitting the coalition. [Advice : Just quit and stop being a lackey in BN coalition. Keng Yaik said it right before.]
But that declaration had been tempered with the caution that Barisan must change to cope with the political reality and move away from race-based politics.
“Look at our symbol. The dacing (scales) stand for equality and fairness. We must go back to our original spirit,” he had said. [Advice : Since when did the BN dacing balanced?]
Dr Koh had also earlier warned that Barisan may reach a “point of no return” if racist remarks and anti-social behaviour continued to tarnish its image, implicitly referring to Umno Bukit Bendera division chairman Datuk Ahmad Ismail’s alleged racist statements. [Advice : What are you waiting for Mr Koh when that Ahmad and Abdullah had said they are not racist? Instead the press had misquoted them!]
Ahmad was reported to have described Malaysian-Chinese as immigrants and squatters. He has denied the reports, saying journalists had quoted him out of context. [Advice : Does Ahmad realised that God did not "drop" Malays on this peninsula ahead of the Orang Asli! Go back into your history please. Shame on you both unless Ahmad says he is a descendant of Orang Asli and not from Sumatera, Acheh, Java etc. i.e. we are all pendatangs to the Orang Asli on this peninsula.]
He has also refused to apologise for the alleged remarks, citing support from the 13 Umno divisions in Penang, and demanded that Dr Koh and Chinese community leaders apologise to him for asking him to express regret. [Advice : Why should Dr Koh and Chinese community apologise for the immaturity and professionalism of a "leader" who indulge in such public speeches. It's a shame to Malaysia! It's also indirectly a call by these 2 fellas for all "pendatang" to kow-tow to these UMNO idiots!]
Ahmad also said that he was sure MCA would garner unanimous support from the Chinese if Gerakan broke away from Barisan, which saw Dr Koh accusing him of "trying to drive a wedge" between Gerakan and MCA. [Advice : Mr Koh, just do it! (like Nike says). Does MCA have a choice to support those 2 fools? MCA would also end up as nother lackey in BN if they kow-tow to these racist UMNO leaders. Anyway Chinese makes up only 30% and what these fools don't understand is that without Gerakan and MCA, then all the Chinese votes would be lost from BN and left PKR and PAS to secure the additional 30-40% Malay votes. Simple equation which that Ahmad fool do not understand.]

Betwen the Pioneers and Pendatangs (Immigrants)
Who are the early settlers of the Peninsula before the arrival of Malay Sultanate from Palembang, traders from India, China, Acheh, Java and then the colonialization by the west?
With economic and mighty strength, we push the early settlers much deeper into the woods and taken as slaves by the "slave raiders". The slave-raiders were mainly Malays and Bataks (as stated here), who considered the Orang Asli (Malay term which transliterates as 'original peoples' or 'first peoples') as 'kafirs', 'non-humans', 'savages' and 'jungle-beasts.'
In 2003, they account for 0.6% of the country's population! They also are classified as hardcore poor, high illiteracy levels, high school drop-out rate, high mortality rate (including infants) and more importantly, the disposession of their homeland. More can be found here.
The Aboriginal Peoples Act 1954 provides for the setting up and establishment of the Orang Asli Reserve Land which also includes the power accorded to the Director-General of the JHEOA to order Orang Asli out of such reserved land at its discretion, and award compensation to affected people, also at its discretion.
The question here who are the pendatang and the pioneer marginalized into obscurity?

Apology Not Accepted!
Thank you for the 50 years BN/UMNO and welcome the true People's Coalition for a Bangsa Malaysia!
It's a disgrace to the world for a leader in a multi-racial country like Malaysia where race and religion tolerance between one another are not respected.
Najib apologises but not
Abdullah Badawi - PM and/or
Ahmad Ismail - the person who started the controversy
are they disagreeing to own an apology?

Malaysia - 51 years And Unity Is Still Called Upon
As majority of Malaysians wanting a peaceful, harmonious and growth for Malaysia regardless of race and religion, there are still many individuals within the main political party of UMNO chose to champion the Malay rights (Ketuanan Melayu).
It is perceived as racist in nature though and bringing in inequality of economic development for other ethnic Malaysians in this country with diversity of race and culture which brought to the tourism theme of "Malaysia Truly Asia".
UMNO, instead of focusing on the country's growth post 12th GE, they had been focusing on internal politics and racial overtures to strengthen their hold among the Malay race and party. This as Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah had said, UMNO is perceived as a racist party which is absolutely true since the party leaders prefer to delve issues of this nature.
Should Malaysia have economic growth and success, it is not the effort of a single race but truly a cohesive partnership of individuals from all races. When a single race chooses to claim ownership or egoistic over the achievement and others being sidelined, that's where all hell break loose.
As political leaders especially UMNO, they should be more matured and the times of racial politics are something of the past which is not relevant in these present world. Indulgence in such practise will give rise to destruction not only to the party but where Malaysians are concerned, the country.
Perpaduan Teras Kejayaan (Unity is the Pillar of Success) would be deemed an early failure if UMNO leaders do not understand the actuality of living under one roof as Bangsa Malaysia.
The immature thinking UMNO leaders cannot be blamed for such thoughts anyway, as they had been for 50 years living in all sorts of special benefits, contracts, programs and etc. where they had missed the competitive mentality e.g. a signing ceremony involving the UMNO Government be called off last minute.
With these "special passages" comes corruption and cronyism as seen in the run-up to UMNO party elections. So where is the competitive mode?
Those educated and exposed to education overseas would be much more prepared for the real world as competition is what sets the standards and growth for these group. This is evident in the way these group of Malays behave, speaks and thinks. Very open thinking and high tolerance level in short (except for that Oxford boy who wants to be the Emperor).
Even in school and sports today, is Malaysia where we are supposed to be? We used to be a powerhouse in football and on par, not better with Korea, Japan, Iraq and etc. FAM have elected office bearers who only talk football and with financial capability to stand in office instead of having people who have walk the path as a player and knows the hardship or efforts required to compete on the world stage. It's better for politicians to focus on governing and build the country instead of getting involved with everything.
Kelantan Umno Chairman Tan Sri Annuar Musa today asked fellow Barisan Nasional (BN) component party Gerakan to stop demanding that Umno and the BN penalise Bukit Bendera UMNO division chief, Datuk Ahmad Ismail over his alleged racially sensitive remarks about the Chinese community which he claims was made in his personal capacity here.
Yet again, a living example of a racist and if the remark was made in public, how can it be personal and Ahmad should be aware of the do's and dont's since he was speaking to the public. This can only go on to confirm the maturity, acceptance and commitment of UMNO leaders towards Bangsa Malaysia.
It is yet to be seen of any UMNO leaders who really comes out to call for action against Ahmd and speaks strongly against racism. Why do Malaysia still have to maintain a national day theme of Unity now that we are 51 years on?

UMNO A Racist Party?
Unity The Pillar to Success (Perpaduan Teras Kejayaan) was the theme for the 51st National Day celebrated nationwide yesterday and the Government call was immediately tested by the controversy surrounding Bukit Bendera Umno division chief Datuk Ahmad Ismail whom had allegedly the Chinese as pendatang (immigrants).
It's shocking!
The nationalistic feeling being Bangsa Malaysia celebrating the National Day had not died down when this controversy arose which the rakyat have all celebrated with pride and joy being together for 51 years in this country we all call Malaysia.
It's shocking!
The nationalistic feeling being Bangsa Malaysia celebrating the National Day had not died down when this controversy arose which the rakyat have all celebrated with pride and joy being together for 51 years in this country we all call Malaysia.
Abdullah Badawi defended the leader saying "Ahmad didn’t mean it". Abdullah is only willing to “I will tell him not to do it again. You know in a campaign all sorts of things can come up. I don’t think he meant it. I’ll make sure to tell him not to use it again.”
It's a weak response of a PM who had called for Malaysians to overcome every test if we stand together and before that he had appealed for racial tolerance. His lame action to address the racist remark is definite to draw flak from all Malaysians.
Malaysians are equally concerned if Abdullah really meant what he said in his 51st National Day address aired over the TV of 'A united people is the anchor to stability, harmony'. With such action from him, his message remains a question for many.
Besides, it further confirms the rakyats' view of UMNO as a racist party and interested to champion their "Ketuanan Melayu" (Malay Supremacy) and Islam Hadhari agenda which had time and again being widely criticised by Malaysians as it was an objective with a racist overtures.
Lim Kit Siang had started the urgent call for drastic action by Abdullah on the eve of National Day and says it is a test case of whether BN leaders are true Bangsa Malaysia. Meanwhile Gerakan and MCA including SUPP (all BN component parties) want stronger action against division chief had voiced out claiming.
MCA vice-president Datuk Dr Fong Chan Onn had referred strongly condemned the racist remarks by Ahmad saying "It's Seditious!".
Police reports lodged against Ahmad by MCA and DAP leaders today over Ahmad's remarks.
Such remarks further speed up the demise of Abdullah as PM and UMNO into oblivion. The party had been vocal previously with some reported racist remarks by Khairy and Hishamuddin to name few. Umno perceived as racist, says Ku Li.
UMNO agenda is definitely a non populist as compared to Anwar's vision of Malaysia belongs to all races which is well accepted by Malaysians today. This event is akin to hammering one of the last few nails into UMNO/BN's coffin amidst opposition calls for "Kuburkan BN" instead of Khairy's loud call for "kita 'kuburkan' politik Anwar" (we bury Anwar's political future).
Another 15 days to September 16, 2008 while Tajol Rosli's prediction of Perak State Government falling back into BN's hands on 31 August 2008 remains his self created dream.
