1. In 1964 Malaysia held its first elections. The Tunku had an understanding with the Chief Minister of Singapore, Mr Lee Kwan Yew that the PAP (People Action Party) would contest only in Singapore and would stay out of the rest of Malaysia. It was really not a smart kind of agreement. It was not put on paper at all. Only an understanding between two leaders.
2. It was not surprising that the PAP decided to contest in the peninsular. Lee had expected the Malaysian Chinese who had been represented in the Government only by the MCA could be persuaded to support him. If he defeated the MCA then the Tunku would replace the MCA with the PAP in the Alliance.
3. The PAP is a Chinese party largely. But it had always projected itself as non-racial. To win in Malaysia he had to appeal to Chinese chauvinism. However he could not do this openly.
4. Being the astute politician that he is, Lee came up with a slogan which did not sound chauvinistic but which played up Chinese sentiments to the core. The slogan was “Malaysian Malaysia”.
5. While appearing to be appealing for all Malaysians the slogan was clearly suggesting that there was no equality between the Chinese and the Malays. He and his party was made out to be fighting for equality between the Chinese and the Malays, whereas the MCA represented only the Chinese towkays.
6. The Malays were alarmed at the prospect of the Peninsular Chinese combining with Singapore, Sabah and Sarawak Chinese to outnumber them. Split as they were between PAS and UMNO, their chances of continuing to dominate Malaysian politics was at risk.
7. Strangely the PAP bid failed against the MCA. But the Tunku was shocked and decided that Singapore’s inclusion in Malaysia posed great danger. One year after the election Singapore was expelled. But the PAP chauvinistic legacy was taken up by the DAP. And the slogan “Malaysian Malaysia” continued to figure in Malaysian politics, evolving into a new catchword, “Meritocracy”. If “Malaysian Malaysia” conjures equality between races, “Meritocracy” implies something stronger. It implies dominance by the race with the greatest merit in every field; in education, in business and in all fields of human endeavour.
8. When the Malays, understanding the implications, protest against meritocracy, they were condemned as racists. Faced with being labelled as such, most Malays dared not support even the NEP. Some, perhaps due to mistaken pride have begun to support meritocracy, undermining the Malay position further.
9. Today we see a lot of Malay NGOs trying to defend the Malay position. Invariably they have been labelled racists. The unfortunate truth is that those who labelled them are equally racists because of their advocacy of meritocracy.
10. It is the same with political party which appeal on the basis of the religion of Islam. In Malaysia the Malays are all Muslims. There are quite a large number of Indian Muslims in Malaysia but they do not figure in the political party said to be Islamic. The party, by using Islam, knows full well they are appealing to Malays almost exclusively. But the intention is not to defend the Malays but merely to gain their support. One can say they are not Malay racists. Rather they are Malay political opportunists.
11. That is why they find no difficulty in switching tactics in order to win the support of the non-Malays. Where before they condemn UMNO for working with non-Muslims, today their co-operation with non-Muslims knows no bounds.
12. The difference between UMNO and the other parties is that UMNO is openly partisan, not hiding its concern for the well-being of the Malays. Unfortunately because of mismanagement it has become weak. That is why today we have Perkasa and other Malay NGOs who are as openly concerned about the Malays as the UMNO once was. The condemnation by those said to be advocating meritocracy is because they see the racism of the meritocrats, just as the Malays of 1964 saw the racism of “Malaysian Malaysia”.
13. What we are seeing today is not a campaign against racism but a campaign by racists against racists. The meritocrats are as much racists as the Malay NGOs, and Perkasa.
14. Incidentally by writing this I know the meritocrat racists will condemn me as racist. So be it.

ADAKAH MERITOKRASI BERSIFAT PERKAUMAN?
1. Pada tahun 1964, Malaysia telah mengadakan pilihanraya umum yang pertama. Tunku dan Ketua Menteri Singapura Lee Kwan Yew bersetuju supaya PAP (Parti Tindakan Rakyat – People’s Action Party pimpinan Kwan Yew) hanya bertanding di Singapura dan tidak di mana-mana kawasan di Semenanjung Malaysia. Ianya bukanlah satu perjanjian yang bijak. Tidak pun dimeterai secara rasmi. Hanya persefahaman di antara dua orang pemimpin.
2. Tidak mengejutkan PAP kemudiannya memutus untuk bertanding di Semenanjung. Lee menjangkakan yang kaum Cina Malaysia yang diwakili di dalam Kerajaan oleh parti MCA dapat di galakkan untuk menyokong beliau. Jika MCA Berjaya dikalahkan, Lee percaya Tunku akan gantikan MCA dengan PAP di dalam Perikatan.
3. PAP ialah sebuah parti yang didominasi kaum Cina. Tetapi ia sentiasa mengetengahkan ianya sebagai parti yang tidak berlandaskan kaum. Untuk menang di Malaysia dianya mesti menarik sokongan chauvinis Cina. Ini tidak dapat dilakukan secara terbuka.
4. Sebagai ahli politik yang cekap, Lee memperkenalkan slogan yang tidak terlalu berbaur chauvinis tetapi tetap menyemarakkan sentimen Cina. Slogan tersebut ialah “Malaysian Malaysia”.
5. Sementara ianya ternampak menarik bagi semua rakyat Malaysia, slogan tersebut sebenarnya menarik perhatian kepada tidak adanya kesamarataan antara kaum Cina dan kaum Melayu. Dia dan partinya diketengahkan sebagai memperjuangkan kesamarataan antara Cina dan Melayu, manakala MCA hanya mewakili golongan towkay Cina.
6. Orang Melayu berasa cemas akan kemungkinan penyatuan kaum Cina di Singapura, Sabah dan Sarawak akan menyebabkan orang Melayu menjadi kaum minoriti. Perpecahan di antara PAS dan UMNO menyebabkan peluang orang Melayu untuk terus mendominasi politik di Malaysia menghadapi risiko.
7. Yang anehnya PAP gagal dalam cubaannya menentang MCA. Tetapi Tunku amat terkejut dan memutuskan yang penyertaan Singapura di dalam Malaysia membawa bahaya. Setahun selepas pilihanraya, Singapura disingkir. Tetapi legasi chauvinis PAP ini diteruskan oleh DAP. Slogan “Malaysian Malaysia” terus dimainkan di dalam politik Malaysia, dan berubah menjadi satu perkataan yang baru, “Meritokrasi”. Jika “Malaysian Malaysia” membawa makna kesamarataan antara kaum, “Meritokrasi” membawa maksud yang lebih keras. Ianya bererti dominasi oleh sesuatu kaum yang mempunyai merit di dalam setiap lapangan; di dalam pendidikan, perniagaan dan semua lapangan yang diceburi manusia.
8. Apabila orang Melayu, memahami akan akibatnya, mula menentang meritokrasi, mereka dicerca sebagai bersifat perkauman. Kerana tidak mahu dilabel sedemikian, ramai orang Melayu tidak berani menyokong Dasar Ekonomi Baru. Ada sesetengah, mungkin kerana sikap bodoh sombong, mula menyokong meritokrasi dan menekan lagi kedudukan orang Melayu.
9. Hari ini kita lihat banyak NGO Melayu bangkit mempertahankan kedudukan orang Melayu. Dan semestinya mereka ini dilabel sebagai bersifat perkauman. Malang sekali, sebenarnya yang melabel mereka ini juga bersifat perkauman kerana sokongan mereka terhadap meritokrasi.
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.
11. Itulah juga sebab kenapa mereka tidak punyai masalah menukar taktik untuk menarik sokongan bukan Melayu. Jika dulu mereka mencerca UMNO berkerjasama dengan bukan Islam, hari ini kerjasama mereka dengan bukan Islam tiada batasan.
12. Perbezaan di antara UMNO dan lain-lain parti ialah UMNO secara terang menyebelahi sesuatu pihak, tidak menyembunyi akan perjuangannya untuk kebajikan orang Melayu. Malangnya kerana kelemahan urusan pentadbiran ianya menjadi lemah. Sebab itulah hari ini ada Perkasa dan lain-lain NGO Melayu yang secara terbuka memperjuangkan nasib Melayu sebagaimana UMNO terdahulu. Pencercaan oleh golongan menyokong meritokrasi ialah kerana mereka melihat NGO Melayu bersifat perkauman, sebagaimana orang Melayu pada tahun 1964 melihat sifat perkauman dalam “Malaysian Malaysia”.
13. Yang kita lihat hari ini bukanlah kempen menentang sifat perkauman tetapi kempen oleh pejuang perkauman menentang pejuang perkauman yang lain. Penyokong meritokrasi juga bersifat perkauman sebagaimana NGO Melayu dan Perkasa.
14. Sehubungan itu saya juga akan dicerca sebagai bersifat perkauman oleh pejuang meritokrasi yang bersifat perkauman. Biarkan.
salam satu malaysia
satu indonesia satu thailand sudah lama wujud ,kenapa?
kerana di negara itu tidak ada orang cina orang india.

Tun,
Izin saya balas tulisan ” eaamir ”
Saudara kata kan DEB tidak gagal, tentu lah tidak gagal sebab kalau dikatakan gagal dasar itu terpaksa di gubal kan ? Kalau sampai hari ini saudara masih tak nampak sebab kegagalannya, ertinya dasar itu sudah 100 % gagal kerana menghasilkan otak-otak yang tak berguna sehingga tak dapat nilaikan yang mana gagal atau tidak.
Anda kata DEB berjaya menghasilkan Jurutera yang bertauliah, doktor yang berkualiti, lawyer yang berkebolehan tetapi kenapa anda semua tidak berjaya mendapat peluang pekerjaan di sector swasta ??? Ada ker pihak swsta begitu bodoh sehingga mereka sanggup menolak cerdik pandai yang sedia berkhidmat untuk mereka untuk keuntungan berlipat ganda ????? Fikir kan saudara, kalau lah anda adalah majikan swsta ada ker anda akan melakukan perkara yang sama ????
Kesimpulannya cukup mudah iaitu lulusan Universiti dari kaum bumiputra ” TAK ADA KUALITI LANGSUNG ” kalau ada pun cuma 10 % sahaja, dengan mudam kuam bumiputra dapat masuk universiti tempatan dan luar negarasemata-mata hendak memenuhi kuota sahaja. Saya tak kata 100 % kaum bumiputra adalah bodoh atau lemah tetapi peratusannya adalah sedikit dan apabila dicampur-adukkan kepada 90 % yang lemah maka sesiapa pun tak akan tahu yang mana satu adalah benar-benar bijak.
Jadi jangan salah kan pihak majikan swsta kerana kerajaan UMNO/BN telah memperbodohkan kaum melayu sendiri, kaum bukan bumiputra pulak lain ceritanya kerana mereka terpaksa bersaing sesama mereka sehingga ” best of the best ” sahaja dipilih untuk memasuki unversiti. Apabila mereka lulus , mudah untuk mana-mana majikan swsta untuk mengambil mereka sebagai pekerja mereka kerana pihak majikan tak perlu pening kepala untuk temuduga mereka. Mereka adalah yang ” best of the best ” yang saya sebutkan tadi, kalau gaji yang dibayar adalah sama, cuma saudar fikirkan kan yang mana satu saudar nak ambil ???
Saudara katakan Proton berjaya ciptan kan enjin Campro sendiri, tidak ker saudar tahu apa yang berlaku kepada engin tersebut sejak ia di keluarkan dari kilannya ??? semua orang tahu kenapa saudar buta berita ???? Begitu teruk ciptaan mereka sehingga engin kereta itu boleh mati ditengah-tengah jalan, saudar masih boleh banggakan dengan Proton ? Begitu banyak masalah engin kereta tersebut sehingga mekaniknya sendiri pun tak dapat selesaikannya, anda masih buat mimpi siang hari ????
Renungan seketika saudara supaya saudara tidak tergolong dalam golongan tersebut .
Terima kasih.

Apologise for being off-topic but writing to this one seems safer and not attracting snoopers(noted Lee Kuan Yew’s wife passed away yesterday).
Also apologising for disturbing anyone’s weekend and Ayahanda Tun et al’s peace, however this is urgent as India is to commence Commonwealth Games tomorrow and its proximity to one of the snoopers yesterday was from Pakistan, and OBL just called for help for Pakistan also yesterday.
Time will tell whether suicide bombings in mosques in India are commercially driven for the land for development. And noone knows WHO actually commissioned the bombings. We believe that suicide bombings are a direct path to hell, those who suicide thought they were smarter than God and decided to take life into their own hands, that decision was not THEIRS to make! Same with the ones who direct the killings – aruah Lawiya and Banting case for example.
However, could we send our boys to help reinforce security in India after all they are a major trading partner. Buddha says that development in India is lop-sided, focusing on ICT but lacking basic infrastructure. Plus they have not imposed any limits on the number of children each family is allowed to have. This could be difficult for them in future.
Could we also have solar farms in UAE and KSA, it is a shame, the waste in Dubai. But we hope they change the debtor’s prison laws first. Wanted to start gathering support for Save Atlantis Fund but facebook won’t allow me to have an account named Rainbow Warrior! Scared of lack of space, were they? There was a guy who called himself rainbowwarrior and that threw everything out.
Gtg Mum has an open house to attend.

Greenpeace Ayahanda Tun et al,
Outbound streaming on Four Trillion Dollars entry was from country code 181 i.e. USA or Canada. Let’s forget about buying Google or Blackberry. What we need is policing. However, there isn’t a muslim country on G7. Since muslims make up at least 25% of the global population, shouldn’t it be new G8 with Malaysia the Moderate Muslim Country on board. G7 was formed in 1976 made up of industrialised nations. Malaysia ranked 4th highest industrial country in the world in 2000 or 2001 if I am not mistaken. We were also 20th in the Global Competitiveness Index in 2008 and 24th in 2009.
In any case should we not value our suggestions for improvement to Google and Blackberry and get equity for them. Or send Maybank Investment to go merge the viruscos (recent experience with CIMB suggests that they are not innovative nor responsive enough – we waited for 3 weeks for risk management to revert and they never did, subject matter for injection into Ayer Molek Rubber Berhad was a Chinese Dato’s development in Kota Bharu, details with 007 – SC deadline is 10/11/10, hope SC give AMRB an extension, we could even cite force majeure on politics! Not to mention operational issues at branches. Have highlighted to Independent Director (except the latest) so maybe he can tell them “I told you so”!).
Pleased to report the snoopers seem absent today, perhaps after being caught out yesterday on the Osama issue. Hope he gets the message. If they were ours, they’d have got the message from D4 anyway.
Regarding facilitation cost there is a better way, since we know that provision is fixed by God, we should just TRUST and God will give according to our needs and according to the AMANAH that we have to carry out. I am no longer ashamed of my beat up 2000 V6 Perdana of which I have changed the engine 3 times and the gasket is leaking again! Btw there is an Islamic Code of Ethics on Hang Kasturi’s effort already, except that it links to JAKIM for Al-hadis, some of the doom and gloom ones may not be conducive to inviting people to trade nor to Islam. Hope they’ll review.
I may be stating the obvious based on a blogger’s report that Ayahanda Tun was in Kota Bharu recently (am extremely sorry if my messages have disturbed Ayahanda Tun’s wellbeing, but I had to convey I had a duty to inform). If we have the numbers, would the KRIS consider RTO PAS? Both sides could learn from each other. Our fellow Malaysians should not be unduly worried after all the opposite poles had already uneasily united under Pakatan. This is the message my conscience told me after watching Rumi Say I am You on youtube … we, mankind, the evolutionary intelligence are the “secrets of the universe” (referred to in Surah Jin?).
I leave it up to Ayahanda Tun to decide what sounds better coming from Ayahanda Tun and what Ayanda Tun prefers that Rainbow Warrior should take the bullet for Ayahanda Tun, as this is what we Sufis are about. We are willing to take the bullet for God, King, Country and Mankind because everything is for God’s pleasure. We have complete FAITH and TRUST in God that everything shall be for the best.
Life really is NOT a coincidence, God is instructing through the ideas and inspirations that we get, if it’s important the KIV will come back. I humbly request leave to brief my father on it. Waiting for God’s next instruction (after Zohor maybe!)
I thank God and the network of God’s Agents for the ideas, inspirations, insights and training. Should I have used inappropriate language or hurt anyone’s feelings, it was unintended and apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Salaam (greenpeace).
Assalamualaikum ayahanda Tun yang saya hormati dan kasihi.
Meritokrasi yang keluar dari bibir orang Melayu selalu dianggap Rasis tetapi yang lahir dari bangsa lain bersifat kesamarataan.
Perlembagaan sudah jelas Malaysia adalah milik orang Melayu(Hak istimewa orang Melayu).Hanya orang Melayu saja yang taksub yang tak faham atau sengaja tak mahu faham.Kenapa kita orang Melayu tidak mahu sepakat dalam memajukan Melayu.Nasib baiklah masih ada NGO Melayu dan PERKASA yang masih mahu menuntut dan mempertahankan hak Melayu.Kalau kita terlalu berharap pada UMNO semata-mata rasanya cepat atau lambat hak Melayu akan berkurangan.Bukannya UMNO tak mampu nak menjaga hak istimewa orang Melayu tetapi kena jaga keharmonian dalam BN.Jadi saya rasa jelas sekiranya kita orang Melayu bersatu PAS dan UMNO bersatu,kita sudah tidak perlu lagi menagih simpati dari bangsa lain untuk mendapatkan satu undi.Kita sudah mampu untuk membentuk satu kerajaan yang diwakili barisan kepemimpinan yang terdiri dari orang Melayu yang beragama Islam dan saya rasa bangsa lain akan melutut meminta simpati dari kita orang Melayu.Sekarang ini mereka meminta itu dan ini kerana mereka tahu BN yang diterajui oleh UMNO masih menagih simpati satu undi dari mereka.Janganlah selepas kita merempat dinegara sendiri baru kita nak sedar,sudah terlambat,nasi sudah menjadi bubur.Mungkin sekarang ini MCA masih mahu berdamping dengan UMNO kerana mereka masih belum dapat apa yang mereka mahu.Tidak mustahil apabila DAP sudah mampu menerajui atau menguasai kepemimpinan pusat MCA akan meninggalkan UMNO dan pada masa itulah PERLEMBAGAAN yang menyebelahi orang Melayu akan terkubur.Sasaran utama yang diperjuangkan oleh DAP ialah menggubal perlembagaan yang mana berpihak pada orang Melayu.Tapi yang saya hairan kenapa masih ada lagi orang Melayu yang masih mahu berganding bahu dengan DAP sedangkan mereka tahu DAP akan mengikis hak istimewa orang Melayu sedikit demi sedikit.Apakah wakil-wakil Melayu dalam parlimen dari pakatan rakyat akan menentang sekiranya hak orang Melayu diganggu gugat? Saya rasa tidak kerana mereka lebih mementingkan diri sendiri.
Sedarlah orang Melayu.Marilah kita bersatu demi kelangsungan hidup anak cucu kita dibumi bertuah ini.Jangan sampai anak cucu kita mengutuk dan menyalahkan kita di masa akan datang.
Semoga ayahanda TUN akan terus menghasilkan tulisan-tulisan yang menaikkan semangat KEMELAYUAN dan berdoa agar ayahanda TUN sentiasa dalam lindungan Allah swt.

ADDENDUM – RAHSIA KRIS RIMAU
Alhamdulillah! Read there’s some trouble between Khalid Ibrahim and Azmin PKR, also in Perak DAP, we could teach them the Love, Peace and Harmony of the KRIS, tapi masuklah PERIKATAN! (Could we vote on-line please, Hang Lekiu and Hang Lekir? We’re all kicking ourselves tak turun padang vote tengah2 panas and line panjang the last elections … we can see why you’d have to PAY people to do it tapi tak bestlah main money politics … Our Buddhist Sufi wants his communes to ensure ALL vote)
When one forgets the SELF then only can one be ONE with God is the message we learnt from Sifu Sufi yesterday – have a class tonight kena pakai tudung kejap (Gutsy Sailor still owes me the Cool Serkop he’s supposed to invent), be emailing to sufi71 later.
Re Pulau Besar would it be possible for us to lease land from Tan Sri Wan Azmi for the theme park? Better still he let us use it for free but with an agreement so bank would fund it? It could enhance utilisation of his resort. Sifu Sufi wants a Melaka village where villagers dress in period clothes. As a historian he’s choc a block on all the Sultans of Melaka, what they did, how was their character. Please?
Am rushing for meeting now, have to give a thought about whether it’s a good idea to transfer the funds into our banks in ASEAN (MAYBANK bila nak bukak – do I HAVE to go see Tg Zafrul? 007 masih radio silence!) if we are serious about helping them, once we do that perhaps we can cut interest rates to make things go faster then the long-term loans won’t be double the project cost. Have to tell Buddhist Sifu the risk of borrowing USD, it may be low now but it could go up later and be more expensive payback time!
Also inadvertently omitted Hang Kasturi and Tun Teja in salutation below, sorry! Still owe business card … when we get the Sufico company number haha! (Btw Tun Teja you inspired me to become (pardon the expression) a motormouth like you when you came down for OGA all those years ago, thank you!)
RAHSIA KRIS RIMAU
Greenpeace Ayahanda Tun (and PM, Hang Lekir, Hang Lekiu, Hang Kasturi, Tun Teja, 007, et al if in mailing list)
Alhamdulillah syukur. NST habaq PKR dah kecoh Zico asyik complain kat media – was he the mole? Pa boring, dia pegi site sebab Pak Belalang dah lama tak nampak kat Jebat Must Die …
Spent the afternoon at Metaphysics, history and literature expert Sufi Sifu hippie commune … Peace! (Btw the wormhole and teleportation is most likely internal, through the heart and behind it for the spirit to connect to God). Tqvm for the grants for Ustadzs from UIA, Sufi Sifu dah terpikir nak buat PhD – he’s translating a 1939 book from Acheh library that he was inspired to songlap just before tsunami (Padang was muslim in the 9th century)… btw Harta Qarun gold was derived by alchemy … and has a book Rajawali that we’d like to turn into a movie … agak EON Productions boleh tolong, ke? Not to mention Alangkahsuka Srivijaya the film, Lore of the Light leading to Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa with the Gog and Magog (Goths and Mongols?) in between as the prequel, and Singhasari, Majapahit to Melaka to now as the sequel? Sufi Sifu has an excellent concept for theme park in Pulau Besar in Melaka, and we’re priming him up to debate at Langkawi with a translator … dia tu lagi seorang hard disk otak dah overflowing with dalil akli and nakli! plus lawak! Any chance linking to Sufi.com and to his marketing arm? There’s a collection of Sufi-lyric songs he did with Blues Gang … tolong hapuskan cetak rompak! Please, Hang Kasturi and Hang Lekiu?
Btw could we have Bomoh Corps JV with Indonesia comprising of Ustadzs and Pawangs collaborating in translating old Arab medical texts and understanding genies made out of smokeless fire, and same with the Orang Asli? They’d need better means after bomoh pakai setan activities get banned … syirik! fine RM10,000 atau jail setahun dua cukup kot?
For your kind consideration:
TOP SECRET NATIONAL AND STRATEGIC MASTER PLAN
Please may we the “trying to get enlightened ones” get FROR on sludge oil, tank farms and the ships needed? Subject to due diligence, this HAS to be done Kerana Allah and we need to make sure the distribution aspects post-implementation DO happen. Btw could we have a Green Peace Stock Exchange?
May I please handover the financial and socio-econ models, PSPP and Project Financing structures to Sea2sea International and 2nd liners – Malek Target and Jaha both ex-Atlasone and Nadzir at Aftaas boleh tahan, besides template dah berlambak2 dari Air Selangor, AtlasOne, Jaring sampai SMER and Alangkahsuka Srivijaya pun ada! Dah burnout buat kotak2 Powerpoint dan Excel kejap … supervise saja boleh kot … kalau report long-form LAGI burnout …
007 agak sibuk jaga Government Broadband Network ke, Sea2sea International ke Alangkahsuka Srivijaya … my cousin-in-law kata ada quarry China nak jual kat MRCB! Boustead pun boleh source cheap and Affin give good credit terms kot …
Sea2sea International we foresee to commence with SME database of profiles and cvs with links to GLCs, ICC and the various Malaysian CC’s. On-line monthly audit,
If we may, want to sink our teeth into the CREATIVE industry next – interactive multi-media for handicraft and tourism theme parks – could we please have some land for the Sundaland Atlantis theme park in Langkawi? Indoor and outdoor rides, wana beat Space Mountain! Could we work with PETROSAINS for those, please?
And there’s a boutique hotel of Malay wooden houses from each state that we’d like to work on in Batu Rakit, if possible with YM Raja Bahrin, Bakawali and the operator 007 identified but we’d like Rahman Hotel to manage operations. And we could get Brian biofertiliser onto the Real Estate Tourism link with MOTOUR, he can bring Royal Caribbean to Langkawi, Penang etc. Dialah yang mintak D2 kitaorg kira masa Raya China 2008 tak cukup nak fill order, habis kat domestic. Btw sludge process tak feasy for Kerteh, quantum 3 hari siap process. Better hantar ke Melaka pada (dengar khabar) bakar kat Kualiti Alam! (RM15 juta setahun katanya).
But please police Selat Melaka first, we’ve worked out how many marine police, coast guards and OPV needed, just need to add communications, Gutsy Sailor can talk to Malaysian Reinsurance, Takaful? (aruah Syed Othman’s son-in-law), Lloyds and IMO for reduction of insurance premiums, and perhaps we can extend to the whole of Sundaland with SMER – Alangkahsuka Srivijaya! (There’s a Chinese port we’re eyeing … and Cambodian FTZ …).
(Btw dengar khabar Inai Kiara kena sue pasal dredging tak betul kat Penang and Terengganu – margin tulang sub-con cut corners kot! Nak kena rescue – malu kat India! Gutsy Sailor kata their old Dutch sub-con had special vessels the bottom can open to dump the sand. Should we jv to make those or buy second hand, Dubai dah ghost town banyak yang murah kot! Gutsy sailor nak tolong brokerkan, boleh?)
And to make Selat Melaka THE cruise destination, could we get an Autonomous Region of Muslim Siam and cut a canal across the Isthmus of Kra? Indonesia wanted a port built at Indrapura, they had a bridge on the coastal road that would not allow big ships to pass underneath, not enough hinterland population but last I heard they managed to get it done as a Migas port. They had coal seams along the river otw Pekan Baru. Btw dengar khabar environmental activists closed a coal port in Australia – Newcastle? Kalimantan banyak coal tapi need clean process – Coal to Liquid?
Subject to feasibility, would economies of scale and extended markets make biofertiliser more feasible compared to urea in Sipitang? We have 2 solutions from UK and 2 from India. Cepua senang2 boleh kot. Otak tengah penuh history!
We foresee Sipitang port with refinery (and treated sludge tank farms); and that either the container point near Sepangar (or fed to Sipitang?) for the biotech industry comprising herbals, natural ingredients, and combined into pharmaceuticals and cosmetics and nutricosmeceuticals. Biodiesel blending is a possibility. Could Sea2sea Sabah work on these, please? They might not be happy if we cut urea, and currently we’re dependant on only them for expenses … (could we do business plan for Tun’s ID’s company? Agak banyak project tu … Saya tak minat simple lease atau deferred payment 5-7 tahun – by the time 25 years down the road, the amount vs GDP would be small, loan repayments does not increase, GDP grows! So how come they look at the TOTAL amount when it’s the short-term that throws out the ratios and makes the crunch!). M3 naik RM30t (betul ke baca ni?) sejak awal tahun, USDRM dari 3.46 ke 3.08, IDR strengthen sikit against MYR, tapi takdelah sampai maid naik gaji ke RM800. Ambik dari Cambodia kot? Indon maids kat Msia lari pergi kerja dan RTO kedai, siapa yang larat nak jaga safety mereka! Bukan dapat duit balik!
Hope Rizal gets Oxford-style Centre of Excellence of Environmental Studies in Tuaran, and hope we get homes and to run the yachting academies (btw Gutsy Sailor ada financing and marketing method untuk expand services). Naik turun Sabah Melaka Penang Langkawi nanti agak, Tun! (Kalau orang panggil). Tolonglah bagi yacht sebiji! Mintak mana2 company donate untuk promotion Save Atlantis Fund dan Langkawi One …
Sorry mintak Datuk, kami sebenarnya nak low profile (nak panggil brokar panggillah!), my parents deserve it more than me, hope my mum gets to advise the ECER handicraft retail JV, she has a design cert from London. And takut my Pa boring takde issue nak blog, kalaulah dia jadi Independent Speaker, I would love to hear him saying “HEP” when the arguments aren’t constructive!
Apologise for menceceh banyak, got it from mum I guess, separuh brain-dead balik kerja tiap2 hari! Pa and Gutsy Sailor don’t understand I apologise a lot it’s my Japanese genes besides I am too often misunderstood. Or I misunderstood! Oops. Am improving, InsyAllah. Adab berguru dengan Sifu Sufi.
Maaf tak formal cuba nak lawak, depan Ayahanda Tun et al kami tak berani kot!

Asalamualaikum Tun and to others,
Dont fall into the trap of the propaganda that the NEP is a total failre.
This is a mere propaganda.
How can it is a failure when it has produced qualified bumi engineers in Petronas, TNB, bumi doctors at HUKM, bumi financial technocrat like our (really?) Nazir Razak at CIMB, bumi accountants and lawyers. Nazir Razak, you become the CEO at CIMB, why dont you try to get a CEO post at Public Bank or Hong Leong.
How can it be a failure when Proton able to produce our own engine called camp pro from scratch. This is a big achievement and have a lot of future potentials. Alas, PM Najib did not optimally employ Proton in its model econ baru. Proton is being side lined.
NEP’s failure is only in getting Bumi into the business sector.
Reason – Sabotaj from Non Bumi business networks. They act like a cartel, racial based cartel, not treating Bumi’s businesses equally.
No doubt there are lazy Bumi- Alibaba- but they are not major.
On Model Econ Baru
- About attracting FDI – previously proven only to provide jobs but minimum tech spillover.
- About minimising gov role in development. We ll be like USA. US model is going down the drain. Should emulate Japan’s model. Gov is not just an enabler, but play active roles to balance the market’s failure.
- About making huge expenditures, building infrastructures.
On Meritocracy – PM Najib do you think you have enough merit to be the PM? You preached “moderation” at the UN. Do meritocracy in line with moderation?
I am a bumi, and have a master’s degree but after months found it difficult to obtain a job in the private sector. Maybe because of meritocracy.
Dear Doc
please distinguish between the people of singapore and the leaders of singapore. the people of singapore hate their PAP leaders more than you do. go to a forum website called 3in1kopitiam.
you country is beautiful. keeping it in malay hands will keep it this way.
Salam semua,
Walaupun saya seorang yang berbangsa melayu, beragama islam. Tetapi saya suka pada idea meritokrasi ini walau bukan 100%. Kerana selama amatan saya, dasar untuk orang melayu sekarang ini sudah cukup korup dan patut dinilai kembali.
1. Bila kita dilahirkan, ibu bapa bertungkus-lumus untuk menyediakan kos bersalin, dari A-Z. Juga diri kita sendiri, bertungkus-lumus belajar dan berusaha untuk hidup yang lebih baik. Tapi ada di kalangan melayu sendiri, disebabkan status keturunan, pendidikan taraf A++ dan pekerjaan sudah menanti dari saat keluar dari rahim ibunya. Saya tidak kisah jika apa yang dia dapat kerana ibu bapanya ‘orang kaya’ sebab jadi kaya kerana berusaha. Tetapi adalah tidak adil jika dia dapat sebab dia anak ‘orang ada-ada’. Di mana meritnya di situ? Saya tidak mahu memberikan contoh di sini dan harap pembaca boleh memikirkan golongan mana yang saya maksudkan.
2. Keistimewaan sebagai orang melayu seingat saya tidak pernah saya rasai, seingat saya. Saya tidak mahu bercakap masa alam persekolahan saya sebab saya masih dibawah tanggungan ibu bapa. Tetapi dari mula alam pekerjaan sehingga kini, berkali-kali cuba memohon kerja dengan sektor awam, tetapi hampa. Bukan kerana tidak layak tetapi tidak ada kabel. Alhamdulilah, ketentuan tuhan saya kini boleh hidup mewah hanya dengan merit kekuatan diri sendiri.
3. Kini, saya tengok melayu lemah. Cuma tahu berbahasa melayu. Nak berbahasa inggeris pun susah. Yang boleh hanya beberapa kerat sahaja. Selalu saya berfikir, ke mana pergi sekolah rendah 6 tahun dan sekolah menengah 5 tahun dulu? tak berkatkah apa yang dipelajari? Saya dengan bangga boleh bertutur dengan pelbagai bahasa. Hanya bermula dengan azam untuk maju, saya percaya saya boleh. Tukarkan sifat hasah dengki dan iri hati diri sendiri kepada injin untuk memajukan diri. contoh, bila dengki lihat orang cina bertutur dengan bahasa mereka, hah! belajar bahasa mereka sama juga dengan bahasa yang lain. Saya pelik orang melayu, dah lebih 53 tahun merdeka, tak boleh kejar kaum lain dalam bidang ini. Juga, lantaklah dengan kaum cina atau india yang tak boleh berbahasa melayu fasih, kerana itu hal mereka.
4. Kepada semua yang komen terlalu jelas kemelayuan tu, cuba renungkan kembali. Jika anda semua tidak tahan berkongsi tanah bertuah ini dengan kaum lain, fikir balik. Nak gunting rambut pergi kedai siapa? nak beli barang keperluan rumah pergi kedai siapa? nak tambah aksesori kereta pergi kedai siapa? Nak beli rumah, beli dengan siapa? lU PIKIR LA SENDIRI!!!
Dear Sir
I am just a Normal Housewife,I learn a lot from just reading all the remarks here. Its sad to think that that many people said u are loosing it. But after reading your views i understand why they said all this here.
Until the day my Father died he still believe that you are one of a kind. He had a love and hate relationship with you.he respect you.
Some of the things said here is so true that even I can’t deny it. I am a Malaysian who is neither Malay Nor Muslim. But in My heart I am all Malaysian. I have in several occasion where people ask me why I don’t just change my Passport because Non Malay and non Muslim treated like a second grade Citizen in our own country. I told them I believe that not all Malay feel like that because I have Malay relative and they respect me as I respect them, and they don’t agree with some of the things going on here. I am Malaysian and I am proud of it, I was born here I will die here, but it make me sad on what they are doing to non Malays in Malaysia now.
What do we have to do to make Malays to respect and accept us as one of them?
Are we not considered as one of you?
We are born here too, without help we succeeded, Is that a crime?
We are all born here, this is OUR country too….What make them more then us?
What make them so special that we are not?
How am I going to explain to my children that we have very little rights in our country?
Tun,
Izin saya balas tulisan daeng, saudara hang ini mabuk siang hari ker ? Kalau melayu sudah terkenal dengan pemalas, curi tulang, suka rampas hak-hak orang lain tanpa mahu berusaha tak cukup lagi ??? Mahu titambah dengan gelaran pemabuk siang hari ?????
Saya cuma akan sokong penutupan sekolah jenis kebangsaan dengan syarat bangsa melayu adalah bangsa yang maju dan berjaya seperti bangsa America, Jerman atau pun Jepun. Sekarang bangsa melayu selepas DEB dilaksanakan 40 tahun masih kata tak cukup, berani sungguh dan muka tak erti malu nak paksa kaum lain belajar bahasa anda ?????
Kenapa hendak gunakan duit dari hasil kutipan cukai kaum bukan bumiputra untuk hantar anak-anak melayu ke luar negara untuk lanjutkan pelajaran ???? Bukan ker bahasa melayu cukup bagus dan berguna ???? Sepatutnya kena guna bahasa melayu di Malaysia lah untuk anak-anak melayu, buat apa pergi ke negara kafir dan belajar dari mereka, bodoh kan ???
Kalau pun kerajaan menyokong dan membiayai sekolah jenis kebangsaan Cina tetapi jangan lupa dari mana datangnya cukai pendapatan di Malaysia ??? Sebahagiannya adalah dari Kaum Cina juga, jadi apa salahnya kalau duit itu digunakan untuk sekolah jenis kebangsaan sebab duit kaum cina juga ??? Yang sepatutnya berasa malu ialah sekolah kebangsaan kerana mereka bergantung bulat-bulat dengan bantuan kerajaan, duit kerajaan ialah duit cina juga ” FAHAM ” ???
Terima kasih

you want to nationalise private owned entities? hello, isn’t that the very core of communism or extreme left wing socialism? you must be smoking something you are not suppose to. tsk tsk
Capitalism is already endorsing meritocracy which obviously your race are not doing well at. Its natural that you seek refuge under the NEP scheme. I cant blame you, its always better to have a safety net. The question of the day, how long will that very safety net is going to hold the horde of “unsuccessful” people? Its just unsustainable.
Sustainability comes with efficiency. Efficiency is the birth child of competition. Ask any economist,they will tell you.
Salam Tun,
Selamat Hari Raya Maaf Zahir Batin. Izin saya menambah sikit perihal meritokrasi. Satu perbahasan yang menarik yang cuba dijaguhkan oleh warga pro-DAP dan proksi MCA atau dengan kata lain etnik cina.
Saya mungkin menimbang cadangan “malaysian for malaysia” atau meritokrasi dari etnik cina malaysia sekiranya berikut:
1. Hapuskan semua sekolah kebangsaan cina di Malaysia tanpa kompromi dan intergrasi pelajar kepada satu sistem sahaja.
2. Miliknegarakan semua entiti korporat dominasi sebarang etnik termasuk cina dan melayu sebagai GLC.
Tapi percayalah tidak akan ada mereka yang hipokrit ini bersetuju.
I’ve been working with malaysian chinese both in private family owned business and GLC subsidiaries. My experienced indicate that “NEPOTISME and SELFGAIN” over company interest is common practised. And “yes” they do have incompetence and poor performance of chinese ethnic enjoying comfort position just relying on nepotisme alone(subsidi hubungan kekeluargaan). So, I just LOL when chinese dare to bark about meritocracy.
However in general, i did find both my malay and chinese brethen in MNC’s seems more resourcefull, competent, succes and selfsustaining without barking or blaming anyone and truly make themselve usefull and nation proud in silence. Not even bother about meritocracy or subsidies cuz they work their way by their own hard and smart ways.

Greenpeace Ayahanda Tun et al,
Tracking the origins of Hyang Parameswara, the following was found on id.rodovid.org referring to:
1. M.C. Ricklefs. 1991. Sejarah Indonesia Modern (terjemahan). Yogyakarta: Gadjah Mada University Press
2. Poesponegoro, M.D., Notosusanto, N. (editor utama). Sejarah Nasional Indonesia. Edisi ke-4. Jilid II. Jakarta: Balai Pustaka, 1990.
3. Slamet Muljana. 2005. Runtuhnya Kerajaan Jindu-Jawa dan Timbulnya Negara-Negara Islam di Nusantara (terbitan ulang 1968). Yogyakarta: LKIS
These documents apparently refer to Negarakertagama (circa 1365) and Prastasi Singasari (circa 1351).
According to Pararaton, Hyang Parameswara aka Aji Ratnapajangka aka Bhre Kabalan from Wijaya Rajasa line married Dewi Suhita (female ruler of Majapahit) from Wangsa Rajasa line. His mother was Surawardhani alias Bhre Kahuripan, Wikramawardhana’s sister (details later). His father was Raden Sumirat who became Bhre Pandansalas aka Ranamanggala, son of Raden Sotor, Hayam Wuruk’s half-brother.
Raden Sotor’s father was Kudamerta later known as Wijayarajasa aka Bhre Wengjer aka Bhatara Parameswara ring Pamotan. His mother was Dyah Wiyat alias Rajadewi Maharajasa youngest daughter of Raden Wijaya the founder of Majapahit. Raden Sotor’s sister is Padukasori, Hayam Wuruk’s Queen.
The above suggests that Hyang Parameswara was from the line of Syailendra and Srivijaya (Santanu) before that. Wikipedia suggests that Sang Nila Utama (Srivijayan from Palembang) founder of Temasik aka Singapura is his great-grandfather.
However, contrary to Wikipedia suggestion that Srivijaya had been driven out by Majapahit circa 1290, Kertanegara of Singhasari/Tumapel may have been invaded by Kublai Khan in 1292/3 as per records from the Yuan Dynasty cited by id.rodovid.org. (intermarriage to preserve lineage became complicated at that time and requires full concentration to unravel!).
That could also explain the later establishment of Kota Chik Bu in Kelantan by Long Yunus (son of Long Sulaiman who arrived in Pattani with his sister Tuan Kembang Bunga from Kembayat Negara when their country was invaded by China – Siti Zubaidah
Tun,
By fighting for NEP and give special privilage to Malays, you are NOT helping the malays but making them even more behind the other races.
I AGREE with you to help and make the playing field level but NEP is a WRONG policy to do so.. look at what it is now, after 40 years the Malays has not improve much.
Tun, you must admit your mistake and start figuring a new way to help the malays and malaysian.
Salam Rainbow Warrior, I can see where you are coming from and how it somehow ties with Tuns article BUT your great write-ups needs a space of its own, I find them facinating and well tought out but again, quite out of place in Tuns comments space. Do you have a site that we all can visit? Maybe even Tun may be interested to know more of your writings there, I know I would. No offense intended, just my toughts.
Salam Raya to Tun and all.
YM Tun. In this article alone you have 283 comments. Certains comment need to be marked.Please If possible comment place here to have serial number for easy and quick reference.
Joel C,
That kind of reaction is what we always received when we talk about ourself. Why do you feel so threatened by our discussion to lift up our own future. We have live in Malaysia for 53 years yet not a single non-bumi being treated unfairly.
Do you realy think what Tun said is racism? Why there are no comments of the same idea jolt to your mind when you hear Meritocracy, Malaysian Malaysia, Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan A or B?
You guys always think that we want to be strong so that we can squeeze you around dont you. WE WANT TO BE STRONG SO THAT WE CAN BURIED ALL THE TONGKAT YOU GUYS SO ENVY ABOUT IN THE FUTURE. That time, your Meritocracy will be an even floor for everyone to dance. Right now, your floor is more shiny than us. You call that equality? Do you really think that Rey Mysterio fighting Big Show in WWE ring is a fair fight? Just give us sometime to even up, okay..
Joel C “This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard from anyone with a sound mind. Branding ‘meritocracy’ as a form of racism is definitely one of the most preposterous arguments yet from our ex-PM.

Hi Joel C, don’t ask just anyone in the world if you yourself coldn’t digest what is written here by Tun. I don’t think just anyone in the world would know Malaysia at least as much as you do. If a warganegara couldn’t catch it, left alone others
Salam Tun,
Saya sokong 95% kenyataan ini:
By lanmohamad on August 29, 2010 12:21 PM
salam Tun,
Saya amat setuju jika kerajaan Barisan Nasional (UMNO) skrg ni buat tindakan keras dan drastik dengan hanya ada sekolah aliran melayu…tutup semua sekolah jenis kebangsaan Cina atau Tamil atau lain2..tingkatkan ekuiti bumiputera drpd 30% kepada 67%…
Ini ada kriteria meritokrasi utk menjadi masyarakat tanah melayu iaitu Malaysia. Islam agama Rasmi Persekutuan.
Komen saya :
Saya tukar Melayu = Melayu + Bumiputera di Sabah + Sarawak = 60%.
Sepatutnya sekolah kebangsaan cina dan tamil tak wujud di Malaysia.
Pembelajaran Bahasa Tamil dan Cina boleh diajar di sekolah kebangsaan sebagai subjek elektif atau tambahan wajib bagi bangsa mereka dan lainnya. Saya mahu tanye dengan soi lek yg ada skandal sex itu / kit siang / guan eng / samy vellu yg tidak akan menang pilihanraya lagi:
MANA ADA DI DUNIA YANG KERAJAANNYA MEMBIAYAI PENUBUHAN SEKOLAH KHAS UNTUK KAUM PENDATANG ???????????
KITA SERING LAUNGKAN BAHASA MELAYU ADALAH BAHASA KEBANGSAAN. KITA SERING BERKATA AGAMA ISLAM ADALAH AGAMA RESMI NEGARA.
SATU LAGI saya cadangkan kerajaan gubal undang2, sesiapa dikalangan ahli parti politik yang terlibat dengan skandal sex dan kesnya masih dibicarakan … DIHALANG DARI MENJADI WAKIL RAKYAT ATAU BERTANDING DALAM SEBARANG PILIHANRAYA PERINGKAT NEGERI MAHUPUN PARLIMEN.
Dalam kes seperti ini, kita jauh ketinggalan dari kebanyakan negara kafir di dunia ini. PELIK BUKAN? Kita kata negara ISLAM….
Sekian Tun.
Selamat berpuasa dan berhari raya Tun yang sentiasa saya kagumi.

dear Tun,
Jika persoalan perkauman dibahaskan kita tidak akan kemana,tetapi selagi kita orang melayu masih lagi dominan kita masih lagi berpeluang membentuk masa depan kita,dan disini saya mengesyorkan supaya tun menubuhkan satu persatuan ‘cerdik pandai melayu yang matang’ yang akan menjadi penggerak kepada bangsa melayu untuk satu hala tuju dimasa akan datang,katalah untuk 100 tahun akan datang. orang melayu di difinasikan sebagai yang berketurunan melayu,mempunyai darah keturunan melayu atau mereka yang serumpun yang merangkumi seluruh nusantara.Persatuan ini akan ketuai oleh 20 orang ahli jawatankuasa,yang akan dipilih oleh semua ahli online.Ahli diminta membayar yuran rm1 setahun dan ahli jawatankuasa berkhidmat secara sukarela. Tiada elaun mesyuarat atau elaun perjalanan dan duit yuran hanya untuk membayar sewa tempat mesyuarat atau penginapan sahaja,dan sebaiknya pilihlah mereka yang telah berjaya dalam hidup seperti jutawan untuk menanggotai jawatankuasa.Orang melayu boleh berjaya contohnya tan sri azman hashim dan bukan melayu pun sedia bekerja dengan beliau,sebab mereka punyai keyakinan yang perniagaan milik simelayu itu boleh menjamin masa depan mereka, boleh membayar gaji mereka. Umno walaupun tunggak parti pemerintah mereka terpaksa menjaga semua kaum, tetapi persatuan ini menjaga kepentingan kaum melayu sahaja, dan akan mendesak kerajaan untuk menjaga kepentingan itu.Ahli akan membeli produk buatan ahli,dan mengunjungi kedai ahli,yang akhirnya membuat satu ikatan yang kuat. Ianya lebih kurang abim atau alarqam cuma persatuan ini hendaklah dibentuk secara professsional, sementara aiarqam atau abim diasaskan oleh mereka untuk kepentingan peribadi pemimpin mereka,sementara persatuan ini lebih kepada pembentukan masyarakat malaysia akan datang dimana semua kaum mendiami rumah didalam tapak perumahan,dan tiada lagi kampung melayu atau kampung cina tetapi dalam waktu yang sama rezab melayu dikekalkan agar satu waktu nanti orang melayu mampu memiliki walaupun masa ini diluar kemampuan mereka. Bagaimana pandangan Tun?

Terima kasih kerana tak jemu-jemu menulis dan mengeluarkan pandangan perkara yang terbuku di hati tun dalam blog ini. Hasil tulisan Tun membuatkan kami lebih sedar tanpa leka untuk memperjuangkan hak kita di bumi datuk/nenek moyang yang tercinta ini.
Ramai tidak sedar niat Tun agar mereka di luar sana sedar agar Malaysia tidak akan menjadi seperti sebuah Singapore baru pada masa-masa akan datang.
Malangnya PAS dan penyokong-penyokongnya seperti tidak sedar dan tidak memahami apa yang diperkatakan oleh Tun menerusi blog ini.

Greenpeace Ayahanda Tun et al,
Perhaps, in an attempt to settle this “race” and “religion” issue once and for all, please allow me to present my take on why it is pointless to argue on this topic and why Malaysians and perhaps the world should unite and focus on business instead of politicking, on PEACE and Reversing Global Warming.
After much deliberation and praying to God for guidance throughout most of this fasting month, I finally decided to say it myself instead of asking Ayahanda Tun or PM or DPM or anyone else to say it. I have nothing to fear because I am sure that if what I say is going to have an adverse effect on Malays or Malaysia, Ayahanda Tun et al would moderate it.
I should just bite the bullet, call a spade a spade and take full responsibility for my actions. Apart from that I feel it is unfair to burden others (SO MANY, am sorry, all) to carry the message. I
Dear Tub Dr Mahathir
The only problem with Special Melayu kuota is that UMNO President and higher echelon kronies abused it completely and openly to deprieve melayu bukan UMNO kroni from benefiting from the economic pie.After all the disclosures by MCA Tun Ling and the gang whom he leak information, it is clear that all the money that appears to be taken by MCA are actually corruptly gotten by UMNO kronies.
Unless Tun disagree that corruption is bad, then Malaysia need to fix the UMNO corruption issue.
Dear Tun, please usggest a way to correct this problem?

Apa kahabar Tun dan keluarga semua, semoga sihat-sihat belaka.
Salam satu Malaysia sempena menyambut kemerdekaan Negara ke 53.
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 the call of IBU PERTIWI for defense of the homeland, no one could be ignored.Very cold response among them.
If so,( Ultra Kuasu + Ultra Meritocracy = to Racist ).Indeed, because of fear of death..!!??.
Sistem meritokrasi yang sangat-sangat diinginkan oleh pihak tertentu itu dikhuatiri akan mengujudkan semula satu konflik kumulatif yang akan meletup bila sampai masanya(seperti peristiwa 13 Mei).
Sistem meritokrasi yang sihat jika dilaksanakan dengan betul boleh membawa manfaat kepada bangsa Malaysia. Tetapi jika kaedah perlaksanaannya cuba dieksploitasikan, maka akan menimbulkan perasaan tidak puas hati yang semakin membiak.
Akibatnya, akan tersemai perasaan marah dan benci; yang pastinya menyemarakkan lagi perasaan perkauman di Malaysia. Di Amerika isu ini menjadi isu panas yang tidak berkesudahan antara kulit puteh dan berwarna.
Jurang perbezaan yang ketara; boleh mengundang perasaan tidak puas hati yang tidak berkesudahan, terutama jika melibatkan perbezaan antara 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, yang lemah akan terus lemah dan hanya yang kuat dan berupaya sahaja akan melonjak keatas. Ibarat ENAU dalam belukar melepaskan pucuk masing-masing.
Oleh itu harus dicari jalan penyelesaian terbaik agar wawasan 2020 dan matlamat 1Malaysia yang dibangunkan mengikut acuan sendiri itu menjadi kenyataan. ( http://www.google.com.my/search?hl=en&q=meritocracy+and+racial+issues+in+america&btnG=Search&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai= )tq Tun.
Salam Tun & fellow CheDet’s Bloggers,
To add further to my earlier comments, I wish to hear any of my Chinese bloggers to sincerely answer why can’t we establish a single school system in order to kick start action towards national UNITY and developing a national entity called MALAYSIAN? Then there will no issue to debate on. We will be all Malaysians and true Malaysians.
Sorry to say, extremist among us ( minority )like to keep the matter boiling under lid ( continuous mistrust )so that they can blow-up in our face sooner or later. It is a sad things but it is true. Politicians are one of the main culprit as they have personal interest for nothing else but power & greed.
May Allah bless & protect us from these evils.
YABhg Tun
I need to correct you on one point. Meritocracy does not mean the stronger race will prevail. It means the stronger will prevail. The Tun Dr Ismails and the Tun Dr Mahathirs will still be a fighting force in a meritocratic system. As will your Tun Daim Zainuddin. Under a true meritocratic system, the truly capable Malay Malaysians will stil thrive.
So will the Chinese like the Tun Tan Siew Sins.
Some of your lesser Malay ex-colleagues will not, as will fall along the wayside your lesser MCA, MIC and Gerakan ex-colleagues.
Dear TUN,
Your last point (14) mentions that you will be condemned as a racists…
Do Malaysians even understand the concept of being racist??
The battle that you were fighting back then was to help the malay’s understand the economy and enjoy the bloom of their hard work VS doing the same amount of work and earning less!
I’ve typed and deleted my next paragraph many times as i fear i would be labeled ‘Racist’… but as you said in your last point (14) so be it.
Obama being the first African American president will not repeat itself in MALAYSIA. You will never see a non Malay be the PM of Malaysia. Back then, The Tengku made a mistake by giving away Singapore for convenience. That mistake CANNOT repeat itself…EVER!!
Thank you.
Assalamualaikum wbt. Yg Bhg Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad,
Meritokrasi jika dianjurkan mengikut keperluan yang jujur dan ikhlas seharusnya tidak dilihat sebagai rasis atau bersifat perkauman. Ianya merupakan suatu kaedah mewujudkan persaingan yang sehat dalam semua bidang kehidupan (contoh: pembelajaran, pendidikan, ekonomi, sosial dan sebagainya), tetapi pelaksanaannya hendaklah bergantung penuh kepada niat dan objektif yang jujur dan ikhlas.
Senario politik di Malaysia buat masa ini dilihat masih lagi diganggu gugat dengan sifat-sifat ketidakikhlasan pengamal-pengamal politik tertentu dalam mengunjurkan konsep meritokrasi diantara kaum di Malaysia. Disamping keseimbangan sosio ekonomi masih lagi belum mengizinkan konsep meritokrasi diamalkan di Malaysia sepenuhnya, memandangkan tahap pencapaian sosio ekonomi, pembelajaran dan pendidikan dan sebagainya diantara kaum jurangnya amat ketara. Oleh itu semua bangsa rakyat Malaysia seharusnya benar-benar memahami situasi sebenar sebelum kita dapat menerima konsep meritokrasi secara total. Tugas berat yang ditanggung oleh kerajaan yang mentadbir urus negara bertanggungjawab memastikan urusan mengseimbangkan keperluan antara kaum di Malaysia, dan tanggungjawab sedemikian harus jugalah dikongsi bersama oleh rakyat Malaysia. Jika perkongsian ini tidak berlaku sepenuhnya, maka objektif melahirkan rakyat Malaysia yang seimbang dalam segala segi kehidupan tidak akan tercapai sepenuhnya.
Ahli-ahli politik di Malaysia dari kalangan pemerintah dan pembangkang jika benar-benar berpaksikan kepada perjuangan yang tulin, tulus dan ikhlas terhadap kepentingan rakyat dan negara seharusnya berganding bahu bersama-sama berusaha mencapai objektif yang diharapkan. Ambil contoh seperti politik di negara Jepun (kebetulan saya pernah berpeluang menimba ilmu di negara Jepun pada satu ketika dahulu)bahawa diantara parti memerintah dan pembangkang mengamalkan kepentingan rakyat dan negara, bukan lebih kepada kepentingan diri sendiri. Amat malang sebahagian ahli politik di Malaysia bersikap mementingkan diri sendiri lebih dari kepentingan rakyat dan negara. Oleh hal yang demikian sesuatu usaha yang baik untuk rakyat dan negara yang diunjurkan oleh parti yang memerintah akan ditentang habis-habisan oleh parti-parti pembangkang. Senario politik sedemikian tidak sehat bagi masa depan rakyat dan negara Malaysia. Pembangkang boleh memainkan peranan penting dengan membuat teguran dan komen-komen yang membina, bukan teguran dan komen-komen yang meruntuhkan. Saya masih ingat satu ketika dahulu Parti Gerakan yang berkedudukan sebagai salah satu parti pembangkang telah bertindak begitu rasional terhadap parti pemerintah dan parti itu mendapat tempat dihati majoriti rakyat.
Konsep meritokrasi apabila sampai saat dan ketikanya yang sesuai boleh dilaksanakan di Malaysia dengan sepenuhnya. Kaum yang lemah dan masih ketinggalan dari banyak segi kehidupan haruslah terus berusaha dengan gigih tanpa jemu bagi mewujudkan rakyat Malaysia yang seimbang dalam berbagai segi kehidupan. Manakala kaum yang lebih maju seharusnya bersifat murah hati membantu kaum yang lemah supaya kita benar-benar dapat memupuk semangat 1 Malaysia. Sikap kaum yang hanya mementingkan kelompok dan kaumnya sendiri sahaja tidak akan dapat menjana kejayaan seperti yang dicita-citakan oleh kerajaan. Kita boleh berkongsi kuasa dalam politik dengan berkesan seperti yang diamalkan oleh Kerajaan Perikatan terdahulu dan Barisan Nasional terkini. Amat jauh berbeza dengan konsep perkongsian kuasa yang diamalkan oleh pakatan pembangkang di Malaysia dimana terdapat perbezaan ideologi politik yang amat ketara dan banyak menimbulkan masalah sesama sendiri dan rakyat menerima akibat buruknya.
Meritokrasi jika diamalkan berpaksikan kepentingan sesuatu kaum sahaja ianya akan dilihat sebagai rasis. Meritokrasi sedemikian akan menghasilkan suasana politik dan sosio budaya kehidupan yang tidak seimbang dan stabil. Natijahnya rakyat Malaysia tidak akan dapat hidup aman damai dan negara akan kucar kacir. Marilah kita sebagai rakyat Malaysia sama-sama mendokong Rukun Negara, Menghormati Perlembagaan Negara, Menghormati Keluhuran Undang-Undang Negara, hidup bersatu padu membina negara Malaysia.
Sekian, terima kasih.

Dear Tun,
Tun said, ‘”Meritokrasi” membawa maksud yang lebih keras. Ianya bererti dominasi oleh sesuatu kaum yang mempunyai merit di dalam setiap lapangan; di dalam pendidikan, perniagaan dan semua lapangan yang diceburi manusia.’
Dear BLIND Malays, which race excel in these field “pendidikan, perniagaan dan semua lapangan”, of course the Chinese, that is why they emphasize on “Meritokrasi” because they can excel in that area and latter take over once know as ‘Tanah Melayu’ that we are still proud out until today.
Dear Malay, don’t make Malaysia like Singapore, once known as Tanah Melayu and now known as Tanah Lee’s & Co.
Dear Chinese, don’t be greedy, we just like you just want a land that we could call ours. You have China, we would also would like to have ‘Malay’sia.
Reality today is that PAP is still solidly in power in Singapore but Umno in Malaysia is so much weakened by infighting, corruption and decadence. Its allies the MCA and MIC are unspeakably falling. Even Gerakan has to be mentioned here to keep its name mentioned.
Is Perkasa is a revival of KMM (Kesatuan Melayu Muda of the 40s)? Then it is not rightfully represented by YB Ibrahim Ali who is more of a student screamer from the times of Anwar Ibrahim. Whither again can we have another Ibrahim Yaakob or the more Islamic Dr. Burhanuddin al-Helmi? Also the likes of Ahmad Boestamam and Onn Jaafar? Or even socialist Shamsiah Fakeh?
Back to modern times, in PAS there is big question mark of who after Tuan Guru Nik Aziz? Forces are amassing against him within the party right from the very top.
In Umno, after the era of Dr. Mahathir, Musa Hitam, Muhammad Taib, Anwar Ibrahim and then there seems to be none.
Where have all the good ones gone?

Tun,
I respect all your views. The only thing now, leader talk too much but no action this include the new leadership, main atas pagar. Literally, as a Malay I am deeply worried the current leadeship unable to act against those triggered the racial sentiment. UMNO must have the courage to kick out MCA from BN. UMNO members must be braved to kick out he weak leader now. Less talk more action.
Salaam Tun,
there are always people of the other side, who wants to take away every bit of what little we have…. they are so wicked in their wisdom and ways…. and forget that we have never asked for anymore than the 30%, off the 70% they are enjoying exclusively. this means they are not even sharing with the rest of the people of Malaysia the 70% they have consumed and taken away…. these are a people totally ungrateful and totally selfish!!! who are they calling unfair, who are they referring as meritorious…. lend me your ears:
we are a people who love life in a manner that is easy, peaceful and non obstrusive, nor vocal about ill words hurled at us, most of the time, but we are not weak, deaf and dumb.
All You “70% people” out there,,, have real conscience ‘honestly’. dont blame us “30% people” for taking life and enjoying it at our own pace. Be happy with your “70%” & stay within your side of the border; dont create trouble with our 30%. “ONE MALAYSIA” will be better and more peaceful this way.

Art of Living – Erich Fromm
Love is not a sentiment which can be easily indulged in by anyone, regardless of the level of maturity reached by him. All his attempts for love are bound to fail, unless he trys most actively to develope his total personality, so as to achieve a productive orientation; that satisfaction in individual love cannot be attained without the capacity to love one’s neighbour, without true humility, courage, faith and discipline. In a culture in which these qualities are rare, the attainment of the capacity to love must remain a rare achievement. Or – anyone can ask himself how many TRULY loving persons he he known.
If two people who have been strangers, as all of us are, suddenly let the wall between them break down, and feel close, feel one, this moment of oneness is one of the most exhilarating, most exciting experiences in life.
It is all the more wonderful and miraculous for persons who have been shut off, isolated, without love. This miracle of sudden intimacy
is often facilitated if it is combined with, or initiated by, sexual attraction and consummation. However, this type of love is by its very nature not lasting.
The two persons become well aquainted, their intimacy loses more and more of its miraculous character, until their antagonism, their disappointments, their mutual boredom kill whatever is left of the initial excitement. Yet, in the beginning they do not know all this: in fact, they take the intensity of the infatuation, this being “crazy” about each other, for proof of the intensity of their love, while it may only prove the degree of their preceding loniness. There is hardly any activity, any enterprise, which is started with such tremendous hopes and expectations, and yet, which fails so regularly, as love. If this were the case with any other activity, people would be eager to know the reasons for the failure, and to learn how one could do better – or they would give up the activity.
The first thing we have to learn is that love is an art, just as living is an art; if we want to learn how to love we must proceed in the same way we have to proceed if we want to learn any other art. Maybe here lies the answer to the question of why people in our culture try so rarely to learn this art, in spite of their obvious failures: in spite of the deep-seated craving for love, almost everything else is considered to be more important than love: success, prestige, money, power – almost all our energy is used for learning of how to achieve these aims, and almost none to learn the art of loving.
Could it be that only these things are considered worthy of being learned with which one can earn money or prestige, and that love, which ONLY profits the soul, but is profitless in the modern sense, is a luxury we have no right to spend much energy on?
Man can only go forward by developing his reason, by finding a new harmony, a human one, instead of the prehuman harmony which is irretrievably lost.
Man is gifted with reason; he is life being aware of itself. This awareness of himself as a separate entity, the awareness of his own short life span, of the fact that he will die before those whom he loves, or they before him, the awareness of his aloneness and separateness, of his helplessness before the forces of nature and of society, all this makes his separate, disunited existence an unbearable prison. He would become insane could he not liberate himself from the prison and reach out, unite himself in some form or other with others, with the world outside.
The experience of separateness arouses anxiety; it is, indeed, the source of all anxiety. Being separate means being cut off, without any capacity to use my human powers. Beyond that, it arouses shame and the feeling of guilt. This experience of guilt and shame in separateness is expressed in the Biblical story of Adam and Eve… who, by recognising their separateness they remain strangers, because they have not yet learned to love each other; Adam defends himself by blaming Eve rather than trying to defend her.
The deepest need of man, then, is the need to overcome his separateness, to leave the prison of his aloneness. The absolute failure to achieve this aim means insanity, because the panic of complete isolation can be overcome only by such a radical withdrawal from the world outside that the feeling of separation disappears – because the world outside, from which one is separated, has disappeared.
In society the union with the group is the prevalent way of overcoming separateness. It is a union in which the individual self
disappears to a large extent, and where the aim is to belong to the herd. If I am like everybody else, if I have no feelings or thoughts which make me different, if I conform in custom, dress, ideas, to the pattern of the group, I am saved; saved from the frightening experience of aloneness.
The dictatorial systems use threats and terror to induce this conformity; the democratic countries, suggestion and propaganda. But in spite of this difference the democratic societies show an overwhelming degree of conformity.The reason lies in the fact that there has to be an answer to the quest for union, and if there is no other or better way, then the union of herd conformity becomes the predominant one. One can only understand the fear to be different, the fear to be only a few steps away from the herd, if one understands the depths of the need not to be separated.
Most people are not even aware of their need to conform. They live under the illusion that they follow their own ideas and inclinations, that they are individualists, that they have arrived at their opinions as the result of their own thinking – and that it just happens that their ideas are are the same as the majority. The consensus of all serves as a proof for the correctness of “their” ideas. Since there is still a need to feel some individuality, such a need is satisfied with regard to minor differences; the initials on the handbag or sweater, the belonging to the Democrate rather than the Republican party, to the Elks instead of the Shriners become the expression of individual differences. The advertising slogan of “it is different” shows up this pathetic need for difference, when in reality there is hardy any left.
Union by conformity is not intense and violent; it is calm, dictated by routine, and for this very reason often is insufficient to pacify the anxiety of separateness. The incidence of alcoholism, drug addiction, compulsive sexualism, and suicide in contemporary society are symptoms of this relative failure of herd conformity.
This desire for interpersonal fusion is the most powerful striving in man. It is the most fundamental passion, it is the force which keeps the human race together. The failure to achieve it means insanity or destrution – self destruction or the destrution of others. Without love humanity could not exist.
Mature love is union under the condition of preserving one’s integrity, one’s individuality. Love is an active power in man, a power which breaks through the walls which separate man from his fellow men, which unites him with others; love makes him overcome the sense of isolation and sepateness, yet permits him to be himself, to retain his integrity. In love the paradox occurs that two beings become one and yet remain two.
Spinoza arrives at the conclusion that virtue and power are one and the same. Envy, jealousy, ambition towards any kind of greed are passions; love is an action, the practice of human power, which can be practised only in freedom and never as a result of a compulsion.
Love is primarily giving, not receiving. Giving is the highest expression of potency. Giving is more joyous than receiving, not because it is deprivation, but because in the act of giving lies the
expression of my aliveness.
Whoever is capable of giving himself is rich. He experiences himself as one who can confer of himself to others. He gives of himself, of the most precious thing he has, he gives of his life. He gives what is live in him; he gives his joy, his intrest, his understanding, his knowledge, his humour, his sadness, he gives of all the expressions and manifestations of that which is alive in him.
In thus giving of his life, he enriches the other person, he enchances the others sense of aliveness by enchancing his own sense of aliveness. In giving he cannot help bringing something to life in the other person, and this which is brought to life reflects back to him and they both share in the joy of what they have brought to life.
Love is a power which produces love. You can exchange love only for love, confidence for confidence, etc. If you wish to enjoy an art, you must be an artistically trained person; if you wish to have an influence on other people you must be a person who has a really stimulating and furthering influence on other people.
In the Book of Jonah, God explains to Jonah that the essence of love is to labour for something and to make something grow, that love and labour are inseparable. One loves that for which one labours, and one labours for that which one loves.
Care and concern imply another aspect of love. Today responsibilty is often meant to denote duty, something imposed on one from the outside. But responsibility, in its TRUE sense, is an entirely voluntary act; it is my response to the needs of others. The loving person respondes.
Responsibility could easily deteriorate into domination and possessiveness, were it not for a third component of love, respect. Respect is not fear or awe; it denotes the ability to see a person as he/she is, to be aware of the unique individuality. Respect means the concern that the other person should grow and unfold as they are. Respect, thus, implies the absense of exploitation. I want the loved person to grow and unfold for their own sake, and not for the purpose of serving me. If I love the other person, I feel one with him or her, but with them as they are, not as I need them to be as an object for my use. It is clear that respect is only possible if I have achieved independence, without having to exploit anyone else. Respect exists only on the basis of freedom, for love is the child of freedom, never that of domination.
To respect a person is not possible without knowing him; care and responsibility would be blind if they were not guided by knowledge.
Knowledge would be empty if it were not motivated by concern. There are many layers of knowledge; the knowledge which is an aspect of love is one which does not stay at the periphery, but penetrates to the core. It is possible only when I can transend the concern for myself and see the other person in his own terms.
Care, responsibility, respect and knowledge are mutually interdependent. They are a syndrome of attitudes which are to be found in the mature person; that is the person who developes his own powers productively, who wants only to have that which he has worked for, who has given up narcissistic dreams of ominiscience and omnipotence, who has aquired humility based on inner strength which only genuine productive activity can give.
If a person loves only one other person and is indifferent to the rest of his fellow men, his love is not love but a symbiotic attachment, or an
enlarged egotism. Yet most people believe that love is constituted by the object, not by the faculty. In fact, they even believe that it is proof of the intensity of their love when they do not love anybody except the “loved” person. This is the same fallacy which I have already mentioned above. Because one does not see that love is an activity, a power of the soul, one believes that all that is necessary to find is the right object – and that everything goes by itself afterward. This attitude can be compared to that of the man who wants to paint but who, instead of learning the art, claims that he just has to wait for the right object – and that he will paint beautifully when he finds it. If I truly love one person I love all persons, I love the world, I love life. If I can say to somebody else, “I love you,” I must be able to say, “I love in you everybody, I love through you the world, I love in you also myself.”
The most fundamental kind of love, which underlies all types of love, is brotherly love. By this I mean the sense of responsibility, care, respect, knowledge of any other human being, the wish to further his life. This is the kind of love the Bible speaks about when it says: Love your neighbour as yourself. Brotherly love is love for all human beings; it is characterized by its very lack of exlusiveness. If I have developed the capacity for love, then I cannot help loving my brothers. In brotherly love there is the experience of union with the whole of mankind, of human solidarity. Brotherly love is based on the experience that we’re all one.
The differences in talents, intelligence, knowledge are negligible in comparison with the identity of the human core common to all men. In order to experience this identity it is necessary to penetrate from the periphery to the core. If I perceive in another person mainly the surface, I perceive mainly differences, that which separates us. If I penetrate to the core, I perceive our identity, the fact of out brotherhood.
Love of the helpless, the poor and the stranger, are the beginning of brotherly love. To love ones flesh and blood is no achievement. The animal loves its young and cares for them. Only in the love of those who do not serve a purpose, does love begin to unfold. Compassion implies the element of knowledge and identification. “You know the heart of the stranger,” says the Bible, “for you were strangers in the land of Egypt;… therefore love the stranger!”
The greatest impediment of mankind is not desease.. it is dispair.
Extracts from – The Art of Loving – By Erich Fromm
Andrew Tay,
I am actually appalled and bewildered by your various posts. You have a great sense of hate towards the Malays and I don’t think any effort will make you feel otherwise.
The sad thing is that you actually acknowledged that Malaysia and your Sekolah Kebangsaan education had put you in a better position to compete in Australia.
You want English to be implemented at the expense of BM. Why can’t you have both? There are plenty of examples that you can draw from, if you choose to move away from your anglophile bent.
Look at Japan, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Holland, Norway, Italy, Spain, Russia, Thailand, India, China. They all celebrate their national language without losing their competitiveness.
We all know your real reason. You know the real reason. It is really about the Malay language and things Malay isn’t it? Why do you hate it so much when the system has not failed you. In fact, it gave you a firm grounding to be competitive in Australia.
Do us and do yourself a favour. Please stay and enjoy your time in Australia. Home is where the heart is and obviously Malaysia is not quite for you. Don’t worry, Malaysia will chug along with or without you. No one is indispensable, including you. If you have the time say a little prayer and make peace with yourself.
Thank you, Parameswara 2, for your extensive exposition with regards to Prophet’s Muhammad’s last reminder concerning race relations. It is obvious clear that Ketuanan Melayu runs contrary to the teachings of Islam. I do not think that the Prophet will agree with how Malaysia is run today and as such, I think that many of our leaders will never reach syurga. Islam is a beautiful religion, if the al-Quran is to go by, but looking at how Islam is practised in Malaysia today, is it any wonder that many non-Malays choose Christianity over Islam?
Meritocracy is a form of discrimination,like any other. If it doesn’t lead to justice and equitable distribution of wealth among races, then it is morally not justified. The ends count. Lee and the racists will not enter into any debate about the ends, which speak for themselves.
Dear Sir,
You have a very nice personality and you are a well educated person.
Kind Regards,
Sham
Salam Tun & fellow bloggers,
This is an extension to my earlier comments….
Interesting to read many comments, some are really constructive, some are good for nothing, some are too emotional, some with anger and frustration for one reason or another, from various backgrounds and vested interest. ( NB: not easy to be a leader ye Tun? you really need miracles to satisfy everybody.) Talking is easy, doing is another but you have the done the best, proven in many ways, for Malaysia in your best ability. Nobody should expect anything else as if they can do better beyond their “best” ability.
I believe, majority of Malaysians ( Malays, Chinese, Indians and others ) will still regards you as the best PM Malaysia has ever had, so far of course. Your much concern is of course understandable for many but for one or two who call for your quiet retiring life is pure disrespectful & stupid. I do not understand them because you are not in control ( by their own admission )but they should accept that you are merely exercising your right as a concerned citizen to comment and coming from you who has vast experience in nation building should be most welcome. You by your admission had made some mistakes ( especially the choice of your deputies ) but all should learn from this rather condemning you for that mistake. Keep it up Tun as long as Allah give you the good health and mind and having the ability & willingness to do so until your dying day, as a true stateman to service the nation for Bangsa, Agama & Negara.
As for all Malaysians, please look at ourselves in the mirror and what can WE DO to change the things we dislike. Changing ourselves in our thinking and actions is much easier than to ask for others to change. Isn’t need?
1. UMNO – has been the backbone for the nation administration for more than 50 years. What has been happening is obvious. A strong commitment to change is called for now if it wants to remain relevant.
a) The leadership must BERIKRAR & BERSUMPAH atas nama ALLAH that they must govern the country based on “Islamic standard”, berdoalah dan beristikarahlah sebelum membuat sesuatu keputusan semuga Allah memberi petunjuk dan perilindungan dari syaitan. Jauhkanlah diri dari perkara2 maksiat yg dilarang olih Allah dan ketahuilah seksa Allah itu sangat pedih…Ameeen.
b) The leadership must potray good character ( akhlak yang baik )in every espects of your life, at work, with family and with others irrespective of their standing, colour, race or faith as examples to be followed by the people. Only then, you will be essured of respect and trust by ALL , especially the Malays.
c) As the leader of BN, UMNO has no choice but to implement CHANGE in itself before can expect others to change.
2. Non-Bumiputra ( especially the Chinese ) – similarly must look back and try to maintain the harmony so achieved. It is ok to accumulate and enjoy your wealth, you deserve for “hard” works but your persue to complete “control” by zero-sum game through so called “meritrocracy” may & will backfire and destroy what wealth you have accumulated resulting in your future generation to “start” all over again. Is it worth the risk? Let adopt sincere sharing with others and you will deserve the “right” to call yourself a Malaysian. Never to compare Malaysia with other countries just because you have to admit that Malaysia is UNIQUE in its own way.
3. Bangsa Pendatang – please I call for all to stop highlighting it as it will not helping solving the problem. To say that Malays are also “bangsa pendatang” is totally wrong. As all must be aware that we have once before Malay archeopilago ( Gagasan Melayu Nusantara )comprising all Indonesia, Borneo, part of southern Philipine. Now all are gone except only Persekutuan Tanah Melayu left. So harping on this issue will be dangerous as the Malays feel that they have no where to go to call a country of its own.
4. Tolerance vs Muhibah – Please go for the later rather than keep saying Malay are tolerant. Tolerance mean element of force to accept is still there and Malays will always be suspicious in view of others. Whereas Muhibah is total sincerety of acceptance and everybody will be more comfortable to each other.
5. A single school system – why the Chinese in particular still insist having your own chinese school if you are sincere in calling yourself or to become Malaysian? It reflects your insicerity towards forming 1 Malaysia or Malaysian Malaysia.
Hope the above will be viewed positively.
HAPPY RAMADHAN TO TUN & FAMILY
They constitute a system of power in which the people operates at a chronic disadvantage. The meritocracy myth is propagated by those who have lucked out, or who have advanced by sidestepping the straight and narrow — good grief, look at who’s now living in the winning edge. Nevertheless, because mobility and opportunity must mean rewarding merit and ability regardless of background or of inherited
disadvantage. Meritocracy should be a left-wing word…!!!
“MELAYU BANGKIT” most visited : http://earn-credit-card.com/
I Don,t bother what meritrocracy mean.
What matter me most is what kind of Govt is governing.
Yes PAP has succeed.They achive much as being No 1 in all.
Yes UMNO ruling still struggling for improvement.
But…..But……, But
PAP stands to be no 1 in everything.
No ONE GETS ANYTHING.
UMNO did not bother much of my life.
Never intrude my privacy.
Did not squeezes my life,my family.
I own my own life,UMNO care of peace in Malaysia.
I do believes even the Chinese if not RACISM will go for UMNO.
As what matters most is we did not want our life,our generations to be squeeze,like (kain buruk)
The table is clean,We are stiil dirty and will be thrown away,like rubbish.
8. Apabila orang Melayu, memahami akan akibatnya, mula menentang meritokrasi, mereka dicerca sebagai bersifat perkauman. Kerana tidak mahu dilabel sedemikian, ramai orang Melayu tidak berani menyokong Dasar Ekonomi Baru. Ada sesetengah, mungkin kerana sikap bodoh sombong, mula menyokong meritokrasi dan menekan lagi kedudukan orang Melayu.
salam tun…
orang melayu tak sokong DEB tapi sokong meritokrasi…
kenapa yer??…
mungkin dalam DEB pun kena buat meritokrasi kot…
just wonder…
The big problem is not the Malay or non Malay, it’s the rampant corruption of UMNO politicians and they are really everywhere, too many of them, top to bottom and all Malaysian including the malay are suffering and we are (and here i mean all- malay chinese indian and the other ethnic minority) going to suffer even more in the future if we don’t do something now- unless we built and grown a sustainable malaysian economy that can tap into the world what we have today will not be able to sustain our future generation and malaysian will get poorer and poorer like what had happened the last few decade. Where was Malaysia compare to other countries like south Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand,Indonesia, Singapore etc say 20 years ago and where are we now compare to all these countries? And bear in mind that UMNO have almost obsolete power during these period! And what happen? So TUN for goodness sake no more politics as you do not need to but be a respected statesman that will web remembered by Malaysia future generations to come as the father of awakening and realizing the full potential of Malaysian, in particular the confident of malay to face the world. Stop blaming fellow Malaysian for UMNO failure as you are barking at the wrong tree. Let the new generation of capable leader especially the Malay do what they need to do to undo all the damages inflicted by the past leaders of which you are one of them. How do you think Perkasa and the many other malay NGO helm by the very same people who were all at one time or another in power but who were themselves corrupt to the core and were more concern with their own interest rather than the interest or progress of Malay, and if indeed the position of the majority of malay is still that bad after 50 years of UMNO dominance in the last 50 years of malaysian government, than it does need too much brain to understand who is at fault? So do you think the so call affirmative actions is bumiputra special rights or umnoputra special right? I leave it to Malaysian to decide but with their eyes wide open, decide with brain and not emotion please. Keep the bumiputra special rights but please do not hold back others. You cannot claimed to have win a race by preventing others from running faster but you should instead ask them to train harder and for goodness sake remove useless or corrupted coach – get the kampung out of our head and lead Malaysia and malaysian into greater height and be a global players in everything we do…
Assalamualaikum Tun Yang Amat Dihormati,
1.Satu pandangan ikhlas daripada Tun ,bagi saya untuk menyedarkan masyarakat yang tidak sedar akan pihak yang semakin berani dan terikut-ikut dengan laungan hak sama rata dan menyentuh perlembagaan negara.
2.Untuk mendapat kuasa politik dan undi daripada kaum majoriti(bumiputera),pihak pembangkang kursusnya DAP,banyak menggunakan pelbagai kaedah bagi menutup sikap sebenar racist mereka.Sudahlah mengajar rakyat untuk tidak menghormati undang-undang dan perlembagaan,akan diburukkan pemimpin lain sebagai racist ,hanya kerana mempertahankan hak yang termaktub di dalam perlembagaan negara,bukannya merampas hak golongan lain.Ini banyak dihasut oleh pihak berkepentingan dalam politik dan perniagaan.Salah satu senjata mereka,bersembunyi disebalik alasan meritokrasi.
3.Bagi saya,sudah lama sedar permainan kotor DAP yang seiras dengan PAP,apabila kaum lain yang majoriti mempertahankan hak,mereka laungkan racist.Mengapa nasihat seperti Tun utarakan sekarang,mereka melenting,Tun sudah biasa menegur mereka tidak kira Cina,Melayu ,India dan lain-lain dulu.
4.Ada golongan menuntut macam-macam,sedangkan hakikat(dengan hati ikhlas)bahawa jurang masih besar,walaupun jauh lebih baik daripada 30 tahun lepas(terima kasih,kepada DEB).
5.Adalah tidak adil melemparkan bahawa melayu adalah racist,apakah selama ini mereka jatuh miskin,tertindas,tiada hak mempertahankan budaya masing-masing?Selama menjadi warganegara Malaysia,adakah,golongan yang tidak pernah puas hati ini,memenuhi kriteria warganegara Malaysia.Bagaimana pula sekiranya,ada pihak mempertikaikan sekolah Vernakular,dengan bantuan kerajaan.Tiada negara yang ada sekolah yang pelbagai sistem seperti di Malaysia.Niat golongan chauvinis tidak ikhlas dalam penyatuan rakyat secara muhibbah,mereka masih merasakan mereka berada di China,atau ‘singgah sementara ‘disini,tetapi hakikatnya,mereka sudah menjadi sebahagian atau ahli keluarga Malaysia’patuhilah rukun negara,perlembagaan serta undang-undang negara.Lihat saja alasan mereka,apabila niat ikhlas kerajaan mewujudkan sekolah Wawasan ditolak.Mungkin mereka boleh mendengar nasihat daripada Nelson Mandela,apa erti penindasan serta pelampau perkauman.Adakah mereka akan hidup sesenang sekarang,sekiranya pemimpin negara ini mengamalkan dasar perkauman?Semua kaum ada yang hidup miskin,sederhana dan kaya,kerajaan telah melakukan apa yang terbaik(zaman Tun is the best!,walaupun saya hidup sederhana).
6.Sememangnya sukar mempunyai pembangkang seperti DAP,PAS dan PKR,tidak membina untuk kebaikan negara(sekiranya membandingkan parti pembangkang di negara maju).DAP khususnya(Lim Kit Siang & co.),mahukan kuasa melalui undi(ditolong oleh PAS),caranya menfitnah pemimpin negara,memanupulasikan pemikiran rakyat yang keliru(sama taktik PAP).Hari ini mereka berlakon,bila berkuasa terserlahlah sikap sebenar mereka.Lima negeri(5-1=4),yang dikuasai oleh mereka sudah nampak ‘sinopsis’pemerintahan sekiranya mereka memegang kuasa negara(minta dijauhkan).Lihat saja Pulau Pinang apakah Lim Guan Eng melaksanakan dasar yang adil?
7.Selama ini kita boleh dan mahu hidup bersama dengan aman serta bersyukur dan boleh berusaha dengan adanya kemudahan yang disediakan.Mengapa pula kita hendak termakan kata-kata daripada pemimpin pembangkang yang hanya mahu melihat kita berpecah.sejarah perlu kita hayati,kerana ia adalah panduan untuk kita meniti kejayaan di masa hadapan ,bukan untuk diri kita saja tetapi untuk generasi akan datang.Detik hitam 13 Mei 69,kita tidak mahu berulang,tetapi boleh berulang sekiranya kita tidak berhati-hati,itulah yang selalu Tun nasihatkan.Perkara sebegini tidak akan bangkit,sekiranya pihak chauvinis tidak mencabar perlempagaan negara dan menyentuh sensitiviti orang melayu dan bumiputera.Pihak yang menuduh Tun dengan pelbagai alasan,adalah kerana mereka ini yang mungkin mengamalkan apa yang mereka tuduh.
8.Akhir sekali, kerajaan atau kementerian yang berkenaan(KDN)harus tegas dan konsisten mengenakan tindakan kepada mereka yang mengeluarkan kenyataan berbau hasutan perkauman serta boleh mengugat keamanan negara.Saya masih mengharap,agar suatu hari negara kita dapat mewujudkan satu sistem sekolah,dimana anak-anak semua kaum dapat berlajar dibawah satu sekolah,bahasa mandarin dan tamil dijadikan bahasa elektif.Harapan satu bangsa Malaysia terletak pada generasi muda sekarang,nak harapkan orang lama ‘kiasu’.hati mereka dah keras.Pemimpin atau orang yang memegang amanah merosakkan usaha murni DEB,harus disingkirkan.Kerajaan sekarang harus dikekalkan,agar W2020 akan menjadi kenyataan.Insyaallah.
Akhir sekali,Selamat Menyambut Hari Kemerdekaan-53.Semoga Tun sentiasa dilindungi dan dirahmati Yang Maha Esa.Amin.Sentiasa bersama Tun,dulu dan kini.
Dear Tun,
This is really hot topic and I hope you keep this topic open until after Hari Raya. Lets listen to as many voices as possible and from here we can at least gauge the feelings of IT literate sector of the rakyat. We can form a conclusion how sensitive and diverse this topic is and where we are going. Either we progress or we are doom!!!
Salam Tun,
Just wasted 2 hours watching “Mahathir” on hisotry channel. I decided to watch it hoping to find something I could cherish about you. Everyone may go on and on about how much you contributed to the country. Alas, in the end you confessed that you failed. You only managed to fill the coffers of your family and cronies for a full 22 years…
KES A: Seorg bangsa Cina (pengundi DAP) bertanya, bagaimana anak beliau seorg dgn BSc (Sains Komputer) boleh menjadi pensyarah di IPTA. Adakah melalui kuota UMNO saya boleh mempengaruhi pengurusan Universiti?
KES B: Seorg bangsa Cina (pengundi DAP) bertanya, bagaimana anak beliau yang lulus cemerlang STPM boleh terus masuk IPTA? Adakah melalui kuota UMNO saya boleh mempengaruhi pengurusan Universiti?
KES C: Seorg bangsa Melayu (pengundi PAS) bertanya, bagaimana anak beliau yang berniaga boleh mendapat pinjaman dari sebuah bank GLC? Adakah melalui kuota UMNO saya boleh mempengaruhi pengurusan Bank?
Tiga kes di atas adalah contoh liciknya parti pembangkang memainkan sentimen sehingga boleh mempengaruhi penyokong mereka berprasangka bahawa hanya kuasa UMNO yang menentukan segalanya di bumi Malaysia ini.
Ingatlah warga Malaysia, toleransi adalah segalanya. Jika bangsa Melayu sedia berkongsi kewarganegaraan sejak daripada tahun 1957 lagi, apakah yang kami (bangsa Melayu) dapat daripada kamu (bangsa Cina dan India) sehingga tahun 2010 ini? Jika dalam perniagaan ada urusan jual-belinya (bayar duit, dapat barang), maka apakah yang kami dapat daripada kamu? Bahkan kami tidak pernah menjarah harta-benda kamu, menyingkirkan kamu daripada segala bantuan yang kami perolehi daripada kerajaan (bahkan lebih lagi). Jika dikaji secara mendalam, berapa banyak syarikat yang memperolehi geran kerajaan, bukankah syarikat-syarikat milik kamu yang dominan dalam memperolehi geran MGS dgn peruntukkan RM1.2 juta per syarikat berbanding dgn syarikat-syarikat milik kami yang hanya mendapat geran sebanyak RM50K daripada MARA?
Lihat berapa ramai usahawan kamu yang menguasai produk di dalam tender-tender Kerajaan (contohnya tender Automated Remote Sensing Data Production System) berbanding usahawan kami yang hanya dapat 5-10% kerana memasuki tender-tender kerajaan. Bukankah ini namanya toleransi dan kerjasama, maka apa lagi yang kurangnya?
Kami tidak pernah membenci dan memusuhi kamu, tetapi susahkan kamu untuk bertoleransi dengan kami dan hidup aman dalam negara ini. Tanpa mempertikaikan dan menuntut “hak” kami. Apakah perasaan kamu jika kami minta supaya harta dan infrastruktur yang kamu bina dibandar-bandar diserahkan kepada kami atas dasar “meritokrasi” kerana lebih ramai orang kami yang memiliki PhD berbanding dgn kamu? Sanggupkah? Maka, jadikanlah sifat toleransi sebagai budaya hidup kamu.
salam Tun,
Semua rakyat Malaysia berterima aksih kerana Tun telah banyak mengubah mentaliti bangsa Melayu.Jutaan Melayu peguam,arkitek,jurutera,pensyarah dan usahawan lahir zaman Tun.pembangkang hanya terpekik terlolong,tiada usaha memajukan bangsa melayu.
Tun bekerja dan bekerja dan abaikan suara org tolol dan bahalol.
AKhirnya ramai Melayu berjaya.
Tidak salah PERKASA menjerit dapatkan hak Melayu kerana Cina pun dah menjerit2 agak lama melalui DAP dan MCA.
Tun abaikan komen org tolol dan bahalol kerana mereka hanya menjerit sampah,bukan berusaha memajukan bangsa Melayu sebagaimana Tun lakukan dahulu,kini dan selamanya.
Lov Tun ever

The Chinese call Tun “racist” because Tun talks about race which the Chinese find difficult to understand. Lee Kuan Yew drove the Malays out of SIngapore and do what ever he likes against the Malays. The Chinese never called Lee Kuan Yew “racist” because he does not talk about it. Who is more “racist”?
Sometimes, it looks like the Malaysian Chinese look at Lee Kuan Yew as their leader and not Tun or other Malaysia PM’s except Abdullah Badawi and Tunku.
Dear YAB Tun,
My name is Shanmugavelu, better known as Shan. I am a Malaysian and for identification purpose generally I am referred as Indian. I admired you lot. As a great statesman, as a guider and as person who gave Malaysia a great direction. I even follow thru every word of Tun either thru your blog or thru any other media.
I promote Malaysian product in oversea. Especially Malaysian pineapples. And I made it a point to print the word PRODUCE OF MALAYSIA in big and bold letters on the carton boxes. This is becouse I regard myself as 100% truely Malaysian.
Even though my parents came from India to here but I born in Malaysia. I was educated in Malaysia. I understand Malaysian culture. I married here. My children born here. There are currently studying in Malaysia. Strictly bringing them up as Malaysian. Ofcourse certain aspects which I inherited from my parents maintained but strictly they dont even allowed to think about they have their own race other than being Malaysian.
Lately, I read many of Tun’s comments are moving towards protecting the major population in Malaysia. I understand Tun’s concern. I believe Tun must have 1001 reason for such concern.But I believe Tun could contribute more towards a better united Malaysia by promoting Malaysianism rather than Malaynism.
Ofcourse there are many people out there so selfish and promoting certain groups’ interest but Tun as a person who led this contry for many years and being most influanced leader of the contry could contribute towards united Malaysia rather than making Malaysia into devided by many groups.
Meroticracy does not work in Malaysia, at least at this moment in time. Some places have super-fast internet access. Many other areas do not enjoy such privileges.
Obviously it is wrong to apply meritocracy in Malaysia.

Dear Tun,
The greatest mistake done by the malaysian govt was to listen to the ungrateful chinese through their parties in the government. MCA, Gerakan,DAP are all the same, to make most for the chinese. they are not sincere to this contry. Umno has been loyal and perhaps being naive to accept their demands. that had created uneasiness among malays. the chinese has gained most of the economic chances created by the govt. they knew that they have the advantages in business through their business clans. these clans are exlusively for the chinese. these clans have diasporal affiliation in many countries and with motherland china and taiwan. their loyal only to china and singapore being capital of overseas chinese. they are here only to benefit from economic oppotunities. They have no love to this country. Lately MCA has created a lot of problem to the government and Umno. The govt has to make a close watch on MCA now, the party is now not only fight for malaysian chinese but also for illigal chinese immigrant from china. MCA created VOA, ask immigration officer not to take action on the immigrant that misused their visas and perhaps pressure the govt to give citizenship to them. Some chinese politicians even cheated the government to bring in chinese prostitutes under tourism and students visa.

True, my grandfather was born here by the way. He was young when he arrived in Malaysia. He didn’t have a choice. It was his father who brought the whole family to Malaysia. For whatever reason i will never know.
Contrary to your believes, he did not smoke opium. He like every chinese migrant was hardworking and it paid off. He became rich and retired a rich man.
Also contrary to your believes, i do not wish to be the “master” of Malaysia nor would i ever want to see my race be the “master” of malaysia. I do not mind who rule malaysia, i couldnt even care less if it was a Malay, Indian or a Chinese. As long as he/she is good at governing Malaysia. As long as he or she forms a fair and transparent government.
Contrary to your fictional fact, my grandfather does not do business with Malays because he cant speak Malay. He does business with the Chinese only. He distributes stuffs to other smaller chiense busienss so they can sell stuff to other people which may or may not include Malays. He paid his taxes, he does not cause nuisance or break the law. He was a good citizen as far as i know.
At that “time” which you refer to the Chinese as mine workers, i am pretty sure that the Malay rulers and the British that rule over them chose the Chinese over you own race for a particular reason.
Most of the mines are owed by the British and only a handful are own by the Chinese. Malay rules get royalties only. Anyway none of my family is involved in the mining industry.
You and your race like to dwell in the remnant of your past. If you want to talk about the past, I can suggest that the Malays should be thankful to the Chinese because without China’s protection, the Melaka ruler will not be able to keep his territory because the Siams are the bigger dog in the neighbourhood and was consistently threatening Melaka and its state. So lets not talk about Malaysia’s pathetic history.
I was never schooled in a Chinese school. I went to a Sekolah Kebangsaan. Im proud of that. I do agree that they should be a unified schooling system. If anyone wants to learn Chinese or Malay or Tamil, they should enroll for a special subject that teaches this. The medium of teaching should be English because we want to stay competitive in the international arena. We cant afford to risk our country’s future just because we want to preserve our identity. There will not be an identity worth preserving if we cant compete externally with countries like SG, Thailand and Indonesia.
I am in Australia for my job. I studies here and i was subsequently employed after graduating. I like it here. I love what im doing now. I dont see any inequality here and i dont care as long as i love my job. So be it that i have to compete with heaps of Anglo descendants, the continental europeans, the Kiwis the Mainland Chinese, the Singaporeans, the Hongkies, the Taiwanese, the Japanese and the Koreans. Its not easy to get a job here. I came on top of them because of my “training” from back home. I have lifted up my game and it has paid off handsomely by my ridiculously high pay.
Competition is real here; international competition that is. The government does not favour any race here except for the Aboriginals. I can work for the government here even though i am a Malaysian. They will take me in as long as im good enough for them. They dont have policies which state that you must be an Anglo origin or an Aboriginal to get a job in the government.
However i choose not to work for the Australian government instead i got selected to work for an Aussie firm who had a month long advertisement for a job opening. You can just imagine the applications that poured in. After a few levels of interview, i was selected for that job. So the white guys who own the firm had to hire an Asian boy fresh from undergrad. I remain the only asian fella in the firm. haha. Sadly though. So im pretty stoked of my achievement. Let it be an inspiring tale for you guys out there, never be fearful of a little competition and a little luck never hurts. Always be prepared for interviews (you dont have to be smart, you just have to pretend to be smart). And English, it doesnt have to be great, average will do as long as you can effectively convey your message across.
And finally, not everyone respects Mr Mahathir’s policies. There are pro and cons. You have to accept that as everyone has a different mind. Im very sure he has good qualities of grand stature and a big heart but i for one is not convinced of his policies. He cant simply take credit for all the development he has brought on this country but rules out all the disastrous precedent which he endorsed. The demise of accountability and transparency has lead to the limbo which our country is experiencing. Even in UMNO, corruption is so rampant and no action was taken to punish/sack the culprit. Only the henchmen are crucified while their masters are in safe hands.
Even the people in his Cabinet are not prosecuted for mismanagement or corruption while he was in office but once he is gone, Mr Ling got charged for mismanaging the PKFZ. If things like this happens under your watch, you have to be accountable to the public because you are the boss. The boss may be deemed to have constructive notice of the actions of the people below him because of the nature and the way the Cabinet works. You cant just sweep scandals uner the carpet.
hisham, i am grateful for being born in Malaysia. But dont think why i should be grateful to Malays or as a matter of fact, to anyone except for my family. I own my life, i made it today because of my efforts and from the support by my family. I owe no one and no one owns me. You better get that into your thick skull if you want greatness for yourself. Make a name for yourself not by criticising the success of others but instead use the success of others to drive you forward. Dont just harap orang lain untuk tolong kamu. Okay? Kapish?
Asalamualaikum,
Bila orang Islam masuk didalam Surau ada urusan sebagai wakil rakyat untuk menghulurkan bantuan. Ada Orang UMNO mula mengelabah, ianya kerana mereka kurang ilmu ugama. Dahlah belajar ilmu ugama pun kurang ambil tahu, lepas tu suka menimbulkan polemik dikalangan orang Islam. Sebab itu kalau dilihat diMalaysia ini perkembangan Islam dikalangan bukan melayu kurang memberansangkan, ianya disebabkan mereka mereka yang mengaku melayu Islam tetapi kurang ilmu ugama.
Salam Tun and fellow bloggers,
I CHALLENGE THOSE BLOGGERS WHO JUSTIFIED SINGAPORE’S MERITOCRACY AS THE REASONS WHY THE MALAYS IN SINGAPORE ARE IMPROVING – INTELLECTUALLY? SHOW THE DATAS PLEASEEE…
ONE SIGNIFICANT EXAMPLE I CAN SHOW U IS THE PROMOTION OF A MALAY (YUP ONLY ONE) TO THE RANK OF A GENERAL, BUT….
….AFTER MORE THAN 40 YEARS?
….ONLY AS A BRIGADIER GENERAL? THAT IS ONLY EQUIVALENT TO
GRED 54 IN GOVT SECTOR, SAME AS AN ASSOC PROF AT THE
IPTA….APA NI? IN MALAYSIA, THE CHINESE AND INDIANS IN
THE FORCE ARE SMALL, BUT WE HAVE CHINESE AND INDIAN
GENERALS, BUT IN SINGAPORE, THERE ARE MORE MALAYS IN THE
FORCE BUT ONLY ONE BRID GEN? MERITOCRACY MY FOOT!..JUST
PLAIN DISCRIMINATION BECOS THE CHINESE ARE IN CONTROL.
Only two weeks ago I talked to a 60 year old singapore malay. He said they dared not talk anything bad about singapore…he even declared himself as a BABA. Dared not admit he’s a malay!
IT’S WORKING IN SINGAPORE, DISCRIMINATING THE MALAYS THRU MERITOCRACY, THAT’S WHY THE CHINESES HERE IS JUST COPY-CATTING THE SAME FORMULA, TO DISCRIMINATE THE MALAYS HERE.
SO U MALAYS WHO DO NOT UNDERSTAND TUN’S ENGLISH, TRY READING MINE, SIMPLER ENGLISH FOR U TO UNDERSTAND….HAIYA, SOME PEOPLE…
salam Tun,
Saya amat setuju jika kerajaan Barisan Nasional (UMNO) skrg ni buat tindakan keras dan drastik dengan hanya ada sekolah aliran melayu…tutup semua sekolah jenis kebangsaan Cina atau Tamil atau lain2..tingkatkan ekuiti bumiputera drpd 30% kepada 67%…
Ini ada kriteria meritokrasi utk menjadi masyarakat tanah melayu iaitu Malaysia. Islam agama Rasmi Persekutuan.
SALAM KASIH DAN SAYANG
AYAHANDA RAKYAT TUN
Izinkan,
MERITOCRASY has been implemented discreetly by a development Agency of the PR government of Selangor headed by a MELAYU!
Nowadays, if a Malay/Bumiputera ( Selangorean or otherwise ) wants to buy a Bangalow Lot and/or a Shoplot from this Agency, he or she has to bid in an OPEN TENDER and the properties will be offered to the HIGHEST BIDDER ( Eligible Malaysian)…VERY FAIR MA?
SO WHY THEN THE DEMAND THAT THE BUMIPUTERA DISCOUNTS BE ABOLISHED?
Can the Malays/Bumiputeras compete when others have their ‘ASSOCIATIONS’(for funds) to bid high to ensure ownership (clans’ assets) while the Malays have only the NGOs and PERKASA(for fun) to bid miserably?..
Perhaps, the ‘open tender’ exercise cud be taken as a ‘test’ case of the meritocrat racists at work ie.. discreetly ‘stunt’ the growth of quality assets of the Malay/Bumiputera..
One wonders why there were NO calls for MERITOCRACY by the meritocrat racists in the allotment of Low Cost Flats and the ’5-foot’ stalls to Malay/bumiputera (majority)?
EVEN THE (STILL)’HIGH PRIEST OF THE MUTTALS’ did not muttered a word to the unjust previleges.
PERHAPS, THE MERITOCRAT RACISTS FELT THAT ONLY SUCH PREMISES ARE SUITABLE TO THE MALAYS (UNDER THE SPECIAL RIGHTS)…
Perhaps, someday when the meritocrat racists have placed the Malay/Bumiputera on their ‘deserved’ pedestal, they will then chant a new ‘phrase’..NANG BUTI NANG PUNYA MELAYU to supersede the old chant of BODOH PUNYA MELAYU!
Somehow we have this ‘chill’ in the bones that the MERIT policy if practised in an ‘imbalance’ economy will sooner or later go CRAZY and when the ‘weak and poor’ Nang Buti Nang turned into KUI BUTI KUI,’hell’ will break loose which makes ’9/11′ irrelevant.. God forbids!
True to the words of our honourable High Priest… ‘samuraimelayu’ only mimic our Ayahanda Tun… for fear of a CALAMITY that will DESTROY 22 years of PROGRESS and the ASPIRATION of Wawasan 2020, MALAYSIA, A DEVELOPED NATION!
So fellow rakyat chedet.cc, please try to comprehend the above failing which please contact our Sdr. Ravi for further assistance.
WAWASAN 2020 BUKAN TITIK PENYUDAH BAGI JENERASI MENDATANG IA BERMULA
AL FATIHAH, AMIN.
Peace Tun,
Truth is not Racist. Facts are not Hate.
To have political power (directly or indirectly) is to have control over the money supply.
“I care not what puppet is placed upon the throne of England to rule the Empire on which the sun never sets. The man that controls Britain’s money supply controls the British Empire, and I control the British money supply.” – Jewish Baron Nathan Mayer Rothschild
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan_Mayer_Rothschild
Those who control the money supply is/are indeed controlling the politic scenario whether directly or indirectly.
“The U.S. has no longer a government of Goyim (Gentiles) but an administration in which the Jews are full partners in the decision making at all levels. Perhaps the aspects of the Jewish religious law connected with the term ‘government of goyim’ should be re-examined, since it is an outdated term in the U.S.” – Avinoam Bar-Yosef, The Jews Who Run Clinton’s Court, Maariv (a major Israeli newspaper), September 2, 1994

Yang amat berbahagia Tun,
Saya nak sambung sedikit komen johortgar. Saya amat bersetuju dengan apa yang diulasnya. Cina tidak lagi berminat menyokong Melayu sebab mereka dah dapat semuanya yang diperjuangkan…….
Pemimpin Cina dan masyarakat Cina umumnya tidak lagi berminat untuk bersama-sama orang Melayu dalam mengurus dan mentadbir negara. Setelah lebih 52 tahun bersama mereka telah dapat apa yang mereka perjuangkan selama ini. Kekayaan ? warganegara?, kuasa? Kedudukan semuanya telah diperolehi . Malahan walaupun telah terbukti kalah dialam pilihanraya ke-12 dulu mereka masih menikmati kuasa yang sama
“a campaign by racists against racists.”
That sounds about right. I mean, it definitely levels out the board by making it clear that typecasting one race as greedy and racist might mark you as a racist also.
If anything, I can appreciate that UMNO is upfront about its form of positive discrimination and concern for the Malay population. Fear compels different groups to oppose one another: each group fears that while the other has influence, their kin will suffer negative ramifications. The hateful medium of emotion via which “equal rights” is promoted will not make either group any more willing to grant influence to one another. It simply justifies a deeply buried fear.
Your firmly stated views and your determination to stick to those views is admirable. I think that you’ve made a rational statement that may offend the sensitivities of some individuals… but to be realistic, it’s difficult to make a point without offending someone these days. Good to see a frank handling of racial issues by a former politician!
Sayang Tun,
Whatever negative comment that I put up. You are still my hero.
No other malay leader is better than you.
You ARE the BEST.
Failure to change the malay is not your fault.
Maybe the best way to help the Malay is
Kasi mereka Susah.Baru mereka akan cari kesenangan sendiri.
Luv you Tun.Selamat Berpuasa.Semoga ALLAH mencucuri Rahmat pada Tun sekeluarga.Amin ya Allah.
Salam Ayahanda Tun
Saya perhatikan semenjak China & India dikatakan akan menjadi world economic super power, “itu batu besar atas kepala sudah makin besarlah” bagi golongan2 asal sana.
Selamat menyambut Hari Kemerdekaan ke53. “Dimana bumi dipijak, disitu langit dijunjung”.
Tak sempat nak baca semua komen… tapi nak letak komen saya juggak..
Bagi saya, slogan Malaysian Malaysia, Meritocracy takder bezanya dengan malayan Union.. maksud saya mereka hanyalah BRANDING atau marketing tool untuk mengelabui rakyat tujuan atau strategi sebenar di belakang idea2 tersebut… begitu juga dengan laungan anti-KRONYISM sedangkan dalam masa yang sama mereka lebih handal mengamalkannya secara halus….
Sepatutnya, jika sanggup jadi rakyat Malaysia, maka perlembagaan akan di hormati dan hasrat di sebalik penubuhan negara itu dilaksanakan dengan ikhlas…. ambil contoh mudah Bahasa Malaysia cukuplah… Agaknya berapa ramaikah rakyat Malaysia yang masih tak fasih bercakap BM?? Atau membelakangkan BM dalam urusan2 harian seperti iklan, penerbitan karya atay komunikasi….
Inikah Malaysian Malaysia?? Mana hati Malaysia mereka? Sebenarnya Malaysian mereka hanya luaran semata sedangkan dalam hati mereka berbeza dengan hasrat asal negara ini…
MAna pula keikhlasan sesetengah “”rakyat” mahu integrate dalam masyarakat Malaysia? Adakah agenda tersembunyi dalam polarisasi kaum di IPT yang di terajui oleh persatuan2 budaya tertentu… Walaupun dah 50tahun kita merdeka, ada “rakyat” Malaysia yang gemar membiarkan anjing2 comel mereka berkeliaran lari bebas di taman2 atau tempat2 jogging tanpa memikirkan sensitiviti rakyat2 lain… BAgaimana pula dengan menternak babi sambil mencemarkan kawasan2 kediaman Melayu?
Saya rasa sekiranya attitude ini yang tidak menghormati Budaya, sejarah atau perlembagaan di applikasikan oleh “rakyat2″ bermerit ini untuk menjadi rakyat negara lain seperti Australia atau US, adakah mereka dapat diterima sebagai rakyat sana??
Kepada rakyat Malaysia terutama Melayu… usahlah bodoh sangat terpengaruh dengan Branding Meritokrasi….
MAsalah utama Malaysia selepas 50tahun merdeka adalah masih ada kelompok Rakyat tertentu yang mahu membolot kesemua kemewahan dan kemudahan negara ini, tanpa berusaha bersungguh2 membuktikan bahawa mereka punya jiwa untuk menjadi sebahagian dari Negara ini, sebaliknya mahu mengubah imej dan suasana negara ini kepada imej negara asal keturunan mereka…
Mereka juga boleh labelkan saya sebagai racist, tapi mereka juga sama saja disebalik retorik dan slogan mereka… say one think, but do it differently…
Salah satu sebab mengapa sebahagian besar rakyat Malaysia tertentu gagal mengasimilasikan jiwa mereka sebagai rakyat Malaysia sebenar adalah kerana sifat Racist dan Chauvinistik mereka yang memandang rendah budaya tempatan, lalu merancang membina semula negara agar mengikut acuan imej mereka sendirii… RAcists calling other people as racists… conveniently forgetting that they are racists too… Jangan salahkan Melayu sahaja mengapa selepas 50tahun NEP belum mencapai sasarannya, mereka juga tak banyak membantu… terutama dalam persepsi chauvinistik mereka..
Lebih baik dipanggil racist dari menjadi bodoh. Don’t tell me that these people can accept a qualified Malay as PM if given the chance… Lagikan Obama terpaksa memutihkan dirinya sebelum diterima oleh masyarakat orang putih sebagai kepala mereka di US…..
Salam,
Dalam keadaan sekarang ini, susah nak salahkan kaum lain. Sebagai Melayu saya pun akan berjuang untuk sehabis dapat untuk hak kaum saya. Kita nak minta mereka faham dan bertolak ansur? Saya rasa susah sikit, sebab keadaan x sama macam pre-Merdeka dulu, no citizenship, ancaman komunis, etc. The only way is to accept the rulers’s offer at that time to survive. Sekarang, tiada sebab untuk mereka bertolak ansur. Everything, depa dah pegang.
Cuma satu je risk, kalau permainan racist ni menyebabkan negara kita collapse, then you’ll loose everything. Either you’re Malay, Chinese or Indian.
Yang saya x faham dan kadang2 buat saya menangis adalah sikap kaum Melayu sendiri. Berpecah belah, tak sedar yang hak dan masa depan anak cucu hampir tergadai. Some of them consider themselves as open minded modern Malay. Ini bukan hanya isu 30% ekuiti Melayu, ini adalah kelangsungan kuasa suara orang Melayu di masa hadapan. Do you thing its not possible that in future Bahasa Malayu bukan lagi bahasa rasmi, Islam bukan lagi agama rasmi, PM for non muslim?
Apa yang saya nampak, kalau orang Melayu yang benci kerajaan ni whatever gov do semuanya salah. Infact, manfaat yang diaorang dpt dtng dari usaha gov. Yang kelakarnya kerja kerajaan, gaji, bonus, facility sume dapat pun anti kerajaan. Kalau ya pun benci sangat kat UMNO, jangan smpai jual hak sendiri. Ini bukan jual dah, tapi beri free je. So, bersatulah orang Melayu. Bukan nak perperang dengan kaum lain, but to show that we are united kalau hak asal kita cuba diambil.
Wassalam.
salam tun,
Apa yang saya ingin luahkan ni mungkin sensitif sedikit. Saya berasa pelik dengan kebanyakan orang cina di malaysia. Sudahlah bertahun-tahun menetap di Malaysia tetapi gagal menguasai bahasa kebangsaan dengan baik. Mereka lebih mengutamakan bahasa ibunda mereka sendiri. Ada juga segelintir mereka memandang rendah dengan bahasa malaysia, kalau tak tau cakap melayu trus speaking mat saleh.
Seolah2 menganggap bahasa Melayu nie asing dan menjegkelkan mereka.
Apa yg sy ingin persoalkan, adakah layak kaum cina ini menjadi warganegara malaysia ? Saya lihat pendatang Myanmar yang 3 tahun menetap di malaysiapun fasih berbahasa malaysia, berbanding orang cina yang 30 thn di malaysia.Apakah langkah2 kerajaan bagi menjadikan bahasa melayu ini sebagai BAHASA UTAMA mereka seperti apa yang terjadi di Thailand dan Indonesia. Kalau kita lihat di kedua2 negara ,kaum cina disana fasih menggunakan bahasa kebangsaan mereka, seolah2 mereka bukan lagi orang cina.
Harap Tun mengutarakan isu ini di blog tun akan datang. Terima Kasih.
Saya amat bersetuju dengan pandangan 4
salam Tun,
Hari ini kita lihat bagaimana angkuh kaum kafir harbi ini berani secara terang-terang cuba menperlekehkan kaum islam dan melayu yang menjadi nadi dan majoriti ( 65%) tanah melayu dan sekarang Malaysia dalam hak-hak yang termaktud di dalam perlembagaan negara Malaysia sejak dulu lagi. mereka tidak pernah mengenang budi dan pergorbanan orang melayu yang sanggup berkongsi tanah dan kekayaan yang banyak di negara malaysia yang sentiasa diberkati oleh Allah subahaalah taalah sehingga hari ini.
Orang melayu tidak pernah mempersoalkan hak, kekayaan, sistem pelajaran cina, kerakyatan dan sifat perkauman (utra kiasu) mereka, tetapi dengan angkuh dan tamak disamping mengambil kesempatan sebilangan kecil orang melayu dan islam yang berpecah belah dan bodoh sombong, ” menangguk di air keroh” dalam situasi sekarang.
mereka mempersoalkan hak bumiputra, agama dan raja-raja melayu yang menjadi ketuanan di sini sejak beribu tahun lamanya.
meraka berbangga menjadi bangsa yang maju, kuat usaha dan berjaya dalam perniagaan, hinggakan menidakkan hak kaum yang lemah malah ingin menguasai semua kekayaan dan pelajaran tanpa mengambil kira perasaan orang lain.
Sifat mereka sejak dulu lagi dapat dilihat dalam sejarah dunia adalah bangsa yang tamak, perkauman, tidak kerjasama, tidak perihatin dan amat mementingkan wang ringgit hinggakan menjadi kiblat mereka hidup dan mati di dunia ini, Ini kita dapat lihat sejak kedatangan mereka di tanah melayu, mereka telah menciptakan dan melakukan berbagai bentuk perniagaan yang haram untuk menjadi kaya raya yang mustahil bagi orang melayu islam untuk melakukannya. Diantara kita boleh hingga ke hari ini iaitu :
1) Mengusahakan bidang makanan dengan mencampurankan bahan-bahan
terlarang dari segi agama dan kesihatan.
2) Mengusahakan pelacuran, perjudian, dadah, perdagangan orang dan
ceti haram.
3) Merasuahkan orang melayu untuk dapat tender balak, tanah, lombong
pasir, lesen, kontrak kerajaan dan dll.
4) Mengusahakan cd haram, cetak rompak, barang-barng palsu dan
tiruan berbagai barang di pasaran.
5) Membuka kedai, ladang-ladang dan kilang-kilang haram di merata
tempat di tanah kerajaan.
6) Mendeskriminasi keupayaan kaum lain dalam kenaikan gaji, bonus
dan kenaikan pangkat dalam perkerjaan sektor swasta.
7) Tidak menghormati perminpin, agama dan hak hak kaum-kaum lain.
Oleh itu orang melayu hendaklah bersatu, bangun dan tidak mudah mempercayai mereka yang sentiasa mengambil peluang dan kesempatan untuk menindas seperti mana yang terjadi ke atas orang melayu dan saudara mara saya di singapura – kampung halaman saya yang tercinta…orang melayu mesti berani dalam memperjuangkan hak kaum 65% dalam ekonomi Tanah Melayu atau Malaysia.
Dear Tun,
In my opinion, u had been indulging in your own personal emotion too deeply nowadays because you see everything else as racist if it appears to not benefit you yourself or your race. I do hope that you can chuck your personal emotion away when you are commenting on issues like this accompanied by at least some evidence but not just your own wild imagination since you are a well respected figure especially in Malaysia. If not,just basing on the comments by Tun in this post, it may cause the others to think that Tun is actually suffering from mild paranoid personality disorders.
This discussion is not necessary.
Racial politics is the sole reason why we are falling behind in terms of our country’s development. If Malaysians Politicians were to truly work for All Ethnic Malaysians instead we would be much more successful than the other countries in South East Asia. Australia is a good example to follow. It is made up of many cultures, races and religion but yet there’s no sign of racial politics.
We are falling behind because the strong ones can no longer make progress and the weak fail to progress even when given the necessary assistance.

Dear Tun,
To Ah_Huat
“China is coming up, India is coming up, Vietnam is coming up and now even Russia is on the rise. In this flat but wired world regardless of whether we are Malaysian Malay, Chinese or Indian, if Malaysia fails to progress, all of us will become history of this country.”… (Yeah..because of the cheap and abundant labour that they can provide and thats why their nationals are flocking here looking for a better future..Hahaha)
Without the Malays, Chinese could not do well in the country and without the Chinese, Malays will not do well either. Both have to work together to uplift Malaysia and mitigate the acute impact that is being brought about by globalisation. ..(Here, you sound rational)
For me, a true leader is someone who has the vision that focuses not just on one particular ethnic group in the country but instead nurture the future for everyone. A good leader is someone who knows what the biggest threat the country is facing and directs the people to stave off that threat. A good leader is also someone who is impartial in his ability to promote harmony in the country for as long as possible. ..(Still rational.. However do you know about the late 90′s currency crisis?)
UMNO is a political loser leading the country to nowhere. They do not have the capacity or unction to understand what is going on in the outside world. They have no serious idea where Malaysia will be in the next 30 years. With the emergence of the three new superpowers, India, China and Russia, standing tall and alongside the USA and the European Union, UMNO knows nothing of the kind of world it will ….. (Now you are ignorant yourself..China,Russia and the USA and in Europe, GB and France …(together with the subservient Germans are the backbone of the EU) has always been considered superpowers. Militarily or economically after WWII, that is. Whether militarily or economically made expedient by the advent of the cold war. FYI, UMNO has bureaus and clubs around the world)
UMNO only knows how to get the Malays to fight with other non-Malays on insignificant issues within Malaysia, while in the meantime everyone knows all too well that these issues are oftentimes trivial, self-destructive and merely self-serving. …(
No different than what you are doing here vice verse)
UMNO has no genuine interests in learning how their impoverished Malays will go on living in the future and they have no welfare concern as to what benefits them. UMNO
To all. Boycott this blog before it got out of hand. This is getting too irresponsible, vulgar & degrading.
Salam Tun,
Pedulikan apa yg mereka semua nak kata pasal Tun. Teruskan perjuangan Tun. Bagi saya, Tun adalah Pemimpin Melayu Terakhir. Mereka hanya akan menghargai sesuatu itu bila ianya telah hilang dari genggaman.
Come on Mahathir.
The way you put it, it sounds that the Malays are still the most stupid people in the world. You are doing them a great injustice. In Singapore, the Malays do not have that much special privileges. As a result they have done very well. Malays students can now be counted among the top students. There are years when a Malay student top the PSLE and O & A levels exams. They did it on their own merits. Malaysia’s NEP has help only a privileged few Malaysia. Most of the kampong folks have been left out.
Salam Tun,
Saya kagum dengan Tun….BERANI KERANA BENAR semoga itulah jiwa anak2 melayu sekarang. Pada pendapat saya, meritocracy sebenarnya lebih mirip kepada capitalism dalam business. Sejarah membuktikan total capitalism adalah merosakkan sehinggakan USA sendiri mempunyai anti trust law. Negara Cina sendiri tidak membenarkan kebebasan mutlak seperti yang diagung2kan negara2 barat….dan dengan cara itulah negara Cina berjaya dari segi ekonominya dan political stability seperti sekarang. Masaalah terbesar orang melayu kerana kebanyakan mereka masih tidak faham apa sebenarnya objektif DEB itu sendiri manakalah kebanyakan orang Cina faham benar objektif DEB tetapi memilih cara KIASU dalam menangani isu ini. DEB adalah untuk memastikan Malaysia ini bergerak ke hadapan untuk jangka masa panjang di masa hadapan. DEB adalah seperti anti trust law dalam dunia capitalism. Kenapa segelintir orang2 Cina masih mempertikaikannya? Saya rasa jawapannya mudah…KIASU atau GREEDY atau lebih lembutnya UNSCRUPULOUS dalam bahasa inggeris. Mereka tidak boleh menyalahkan objektif DEB jika ada masaalah ali baba dan korupsi pemimpin2 melayu…kerana sejarah telah membuktikan bahawa DEB dan Formula BN telah sedikit sebanyak membawa melayu dan malaysia maju sedikit kehadapan. Kalau mereka benar2 cintakan negara malaysia dan rakan dan jiran melayu mereka, sama2lah berusaha untuk mengurangkan masaalah ali baba dan korupsi pemimpin2 melayu itu sendiri. Tetapi keadaan sebenar adalah sebaliknya iaitu mereka ini sambil kuat mengomel sambil kuat menyuap mulut orang2 melayu seperti ini. Orang2 Cina di Malaysia harus sedar bahawa Malaysia dalam apa sekali pun, tidak akan menjadi seperti Singapura walau bagaimana mereka mengagung2kan LKY tu. Ini kerana Melayu adalah Melayu dan hendak atau tidak mereka kena sama2 menolong orang melayu itu sendiri walau bagaimana hinanya bangsa melayu itu sendiri. Adalah sesuatu perkara yang amat mustahil untuk mencampakkan orang2 melayu tu ke dalam Laut Cina Selatan dan Selat Melaka dari Malaysia tanpa menjejaskan taraf ekonomi mereka yang sedia ada sekarang. Buatlah macamana pun orang melayu sebenarnya sentiasa tidak akan puashati selagi ekonomi mereka belum sampai 30%. PAS dan PKR hanyalah untuk sementara dalam perjudian politik mereka tetapi Melayu tetap Melayu….tak kira lah betapa hebatnya LKY dengan Singapuranya. Kepada pihak2 KIASU ini terimalah hakikat bahawa meritrocacy adalah membawa ketidakadilan sosial indirectly adalah berbau perkauman. Tolonglah jiran melayu engkau tu….sebab dia orang pun bukanlah teruk sangat.
Tun Bodoh,Pemimpim Melayu sekarang dan yg dari dulu pun Bodoh.
Hanya pandai mengata fasal kelemahan orang melayu
tapi sebagai pemimpin yg diberi kuasa tak mampu mengubah kedudukan orang melayu.
Mengatur Dulang PAKU serpih,,,,,,..
Tun pun serupa dengan Pemimpin Melayu yg lain.
Hanya pandai mengata kelemahan orang melayu
tapi tak berupaya merubah kelemahan orang melayu.
Pemimpin LEE dengan bijak dapat merubah dan secara senyap
banyak membantu orang cina ke karah melemahkan orang melayu Singapura.Hingga orang melayu Singapura hidup merempat ditanah sendiri,tak punya suara,tak punya muka,tak punya maruah,tak punya harta,tak punya harta,hanya menang sorak dikedai kopi saja.
Tun jangan hanya suka mengata,ikhtiarkan sesuatu.
Salam Tun & fellow bloggers,
We are still talking and will continue to talk about this issue ( as clearly reflected in this blog ) until the cows come home without achieving the object set i.e to be IMalaysia having one entity called Malaysian, meaning we should be talking in one language, maybe we should have one set of Malaysian name, Malaysian dress etc mixing from the diversed cultures we are proud to have.
Everybody seems to bring up good arguement but only based on their perspective and please we have to admit that Malaysia is UNIQUE in many ways. It can be a strength but it can also be a weakness. Therefore, we have to be very carefull in adopting any policy to move us forward nationwise. We can learn from outsiders many good things from here & there but must be relevant to our own formula in nation building process, slow but steady. Never allow outsiders to imposed their values on us based on their view/concept on democracy,human rights, globalisation etc through various agencies if not carefull will destroy us. Cut & Paste method is definitely easy but most dangerous way.
Please for heaven sake, we should not only be talking about our problems within our national context only but with the outside world. We must be aware that their view is based on ” strong dictates on the weak ” doctrine and this they must pursue with full of deceitful ways and means in order to protect their grand plan to control on others. This is what they call ” NEW WORLD ORDER ” thay everybody must subscribe to….. meaning MUST ORBEY THEM or else…. That is why they use every avaialble methods/instrument especially the MEDIA as effectively in highlighting how good their “ways” are. It is purely their propaganda. These are coupled with influence on cultural changes, political pressure & blackmail, economic globalisation, control & even need be – sanctions and finally military power basically at the end game is to force you down on your knees. Is it only a theory? just look back on history for those who care to be rational in our arguement to accept the truth, nothing but the truth. History won’t lie. Those who forget history will have strong tendency to repeat the same mistake.
So my fellow “MALAYSIAN” please do not argue based on emotion, wild accusation, condemnation, political doctrine etc but let gather the relevant data to create a statistics to be based on in developing a new formula in our nation buliding — forward.. our ways. My view is that we should do this “review’ every 50 years ( an everage on a person life time ) by a special study group. This “body” should comprise and represent the people in various interest/expertise in the society and not only politicians ( and I believe that the politicians will be the most dangerous source of trouble especially in Malaysian context ). The study group must look at on every expect required to formulate the nation building policy & process. The result must be made known to the people so that they can understand. Only that way it can be successfully implemented. Otherwise there will be flip-flop policy that will not only confuse the people more but also there will no progress toward the desired result.
I sincerely hope this view will be shared in positive and constructive ways.
May Allah bless us all.
Selamat Berpuasa Tun,
Wahai alqatab:
>Abis tu kalau orang Melayu pergi dan tinggal di Negeri China atau Negeri >India, adakah boleh orang Melayu mempertikaikan apa yang di beri oleh >kerajaan China kepada orang China atau Kerajaan India kepada orang India??
“pergi dan tinggal di..” ertinya tak sama dengan “berlahir dan tinggal di..”.
Meskipun, jika dalai lama tu yang datang dari tibet dilayan baik oleh orang2 india. dan ketua kerajaan india tu singh, dari kumpulan minority, dan cina tu penduduknya berjenis2, cari lah tempat lain untuk dibandingkan.
kalau nak banding pun, bandinglah dengang tempat / negara seperti hongkong, amerika, uk, pergilah ke sana dan lihat.. apakah jenis orang orang yang ada di sana, yang hitam, kuning, perang,macam macam ada, sama sama . mereka macan seronok berkhidmat saja tanpa rungutan berkenaan dasar kerajaan, kerana, mereka tahu dasar itu tidak bersifat diskriminasi.
negara2 jiran kita yang dulunya miskin dan berdasarkan polisi diskriminasi pun kian berubah.. sekarang ni ekonomi mereka terbang. yang tak ada dasar macam tu pertumbuhan ekonminya paling pesat. kalau kita tak berubah dan masih tidur lagi, suatu hari kelak cucu cicit kita akan menjadi hamba abdi mereka. wang ringgit kita pun hilang nilainya.. takut nanti. nak beli barang2 impot pun kena kerja bertahun2.
sebenarnya, kek ekonomi ini boleh diperbesarkan, asalkan kita ada dasar ekonomi yang maju, adil dan saksama untuk menggalakkan komitmen dari semua rakayat tak kira apa warna kulit dan kefahaman mereka. dan yang miskin mestilah kita bantu. suatu hari kelak, mudah-mudahan yang paling miskin pun mampu beli barang barang mewah dari luar negeri, itulah yang kita mahu, bukan sebaliknya.
Salam kasih dan salam hormat Ayahanda Tun. Bercakap kita tentang ploitik tempatan kini, terpanggil saya untuk menumpang sedikit ulasan bersuara pendapat dengan izin Ybhg. Tun.
1)Saya mengucapkan syabas kepada DSN atas keputusan tepat beliau membawa masuk KIMMA ke-dalam UMNO/BN.
2)Komentar berikutnya hanyalah imbasan serta juga mungkin sedikit analisis dan teladan buat semua melalui pengalaman saya dan rakan-rakan sendiri.
3)Apakah nilai perjuangan UMNO? Tentu sekali untuk menyambungkan kesinambungan Melayu dan juga demi untuk meluaskan silaturaheem sesama kita bersaudara. Itu matlamat kita sebagai Islam dan juga sebagai Melayu. Kalau insan baik-baik datang bertandang ingin berkenalan membuka lebaran silaturaheem maka kita sebesar hati menerima dan bersyukur kehadrat illahi.
4)Pada hujung tahun 2003-2004, kami telah mencuba serba sedikit untuk menyuarakan beberapa pendapat tentang cara yang lebih baik untuk melebarkan silaturaheem berkenaan kepada kepala tertinggi UMNO pada ketika itu. Akan tetapi, kami hanya mampu melaung di luar tembok. Ini adalah kerana telah terdapat rantaian pengaruh budak-budak muda sombong yang menapis dan mengatur segala hala tuju UMNO. Ertinya, kepala kepimpinan UMNO hanya akan bertindak diatas informasi yang diberikan oleh pihak ini. Ini hakikatnya. Ramai juga tahu. Pada ketika itu, sebarang informasi kepada kepala tertinggi UMNO akan mendapat tapisan yang amat hebat. Selalunya jika agenda seperti untuk kebaikkan UMNO secara menyeluruh akan tidak masuk kedalam agenda mereka.
5)SAYA SEHINGGA HARI INI YAKIN BAHAWA MEREKA TIDAK MENJAGA UMNO PADA KETIKA ITU. MEREKA HANYALAH TAHU BERCATUR DIATAS ANGIN TANPA MENGIRA SENTIMEN PERASAAN ORANG DAN JUGA TINDAK BALAS MELAYU KEATAS CARA POLITIK ALA MODEN MEREKA. MEREKA INGAT UMNO SUDAH PERLU MENJALANI PROSES MODERNANISASI
i am a malaysia’s malaysian. in the sense that i understand what Tun is fighting for. the bottomline is that what Tun wants is for the greater benefit of the nation. but i am very much upset at how ugly the fight for the greater benefit of everyone has turned into. how people with the same vision but different strategies collide with each other. i believe deep within everyone, we secretly want everything to work out with every faction. if only our leaders would put down the pride, and lay everything out and work with each other. we are not malay, chinese or indians. we are malaysians.
My dearest countryman ever…….
Full brain work out for better brain health…..I’m not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I
know I’m not dumb… and I also know that I’m not blonde. If there are no stupid questions, then what kind
of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions? Subsequently, be as
smart as you can, but remember that it is always better to be wise than to be smart.

Dear Tun,
>2. It was not surprising that the PAP decided to contest in the peninsular.
From a documentary that I watched recently on the history channel, and from Wikipedia which I extracted here:
“The 1963 elections are also known for being the elections where the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), the ruling party of the Central Government in Malaysia tried to oust the People’s Action Party by sending in the UMNO-backed Singapore Alliance Party to contest the elections, violating previous agreement not to do so and a highlight in the relations between UMNO and the PAP.”
and from Tun’s statements (1) and (2), I am confused.
Who was the first one who broke the “agreement” first?
Dear Tun,
Let us not encourage racial animosity among Malays, Chinese, Indians and others. Let us promote tolerance, cooperation and peaceful coexistence among the races. History will judge us badly if we champion narrow racial sentiment, discrimination and racial supremacy. We would be put in the same class as Adolf Hitler, K.K.K. of America or Apartheid of South Africa. Let us not be cruel and bully other races.
Successful and wise Prime Minister would ensure the different races live in harmony and peace in Malaysia. Let us not attack Malay, Chinese or Indians on the basis of their racial origins. Promote good will, friendships and cooperation among the races.

Hi to all.
How could Lee Kwan Yew still have influence in the Singapore Govt (his post as Senior Minister or via his son the PM) all this while?
Yeah right, its ‘Meritocracy’. The best always succeed, right?
But is it really Meritocracy when even the citizen down there has fears to speak against the government? I do think they are far worse than us here in Malaysia, in terms of fredom of speech.
Salam Tun and fellow bloggers,
This is my 3rd entry, still feeling unsatisfied….
I would like to share about my conversation with a malay singaporean (his age about late 20s) related to meritocracy issue…way back 20 odd years ago….
I will put in a dialogue formst;
Singaporean: u all di malaysia ada malay special privileges, that’s why u all pegang post tinggi2 dengan senang. We all sini takda tentang hak istimewa melayu, everything is based on merit…meritocracy.
NOTE: HE WAS TRYING TO BELITTLE THE MALAYS IN MALAYSIA FOR NOT HAVING MERITS BUT ELIGIBLE TO HOLD IMPORTANT POSTS, INCLUDING BEING PROFESSIONALS!
ME: I see, u mean we malays in malaysia are not qualified but due to special malay positions, we can hold important jobs? (I am a professional worker myself)
ME: I wonder why..the malays are the second majority in singapore, but how come there are very few malays holding important posts in public or private sectors? How come the indians, smaller in population than the malays are up there with the chinese running the government, private sectors? O I KNOW, U MALAYS DO NOT HAVE THE MERITS! THAT’S WHY U MALAYS ARE NOT IN THE PICTURE…I GET IT, NO MERITOCRACYLAH…
ME: BUT HOW COME AHH? U GO TO THE SAME SCHOOL, SAME TEACHERS, SAME SYSTEM…BUT WHY AHH? O…I FORGOT, MALAYS HAVE NO MERITLAH..
I turned around, pointed to his 3 year oldboy and said ‘look at him, pretty good with english, plays the organ…but I wonder what;s his future like?
SINGAPOREAN: I will send him to JB for schooling…
ME: Aik, why JB? Kan singapore has got the best system of education? (god knows how they discriminate the malays – they have streaming at the very early school years and I’m sure the malays are already screened out from the ‘clever’ classes)
Sad to say;
1. The malays i singapore themselves believed they do not have merit – lee kuan yew and the chineses managed to psychologically make the malays feel small, unqualified, useless,,,,
2. The malays of singapore are convinced that they are superior compared to ma;ays in malaysia..they’re JUST dreaming..
3. THAT;S WHAT THE UNGRATEFUL CHINESES IN MALAYSIA WILL DO TO THE MALAYS HERE WHEN THEY HAVE THE POWERS! ONE WAY IS BY PROMOTING MERITOCRACY TO SCREEN OUT THE MALAYS!
Sad to see all the comments. Some Chinese are trying to get equal rights even though Malays will end up bad. Some Malays are fighting to always have special rights though it makes them lazy and threaten to be violent if cannot get easy life. Some are trying to get both Chinese and Malays to make peace.
How about those mixed blood Malays and Chinese, lose lose situation but who cares about them? Tun on the other hand thinking he is going to die soon so he is attempting to invoke Malays to get together because fear that he will not be there to protect them.
Malays are greedy and will fight Chinese and even fight amongst Malays but will never willing to work hard. If they work hard u think they will not be able to compete? They can easily beat Chinese but they never seem to realize. Lazy thats all but smart. What a waste.
I support equal rights because its actual better for Malays in long run. They will be forced to work hard and start earlier better, and I disagree with Tun. To love Malay does not mean pamper them. To love your children does not mean manja.
Salam Tun
Thanks For your contribution for the Contry but sad with ur old thoughts….
you are just shadowing yourself by rejecting NEM by saying NEP is better …. 22 years you can solve Malay poverty….
How in the world can those advocating for meritocracy be considered racists??Meritocracy crosses all boundaries of race and religion!Unless you have another meaning of racists.Have not the MALAYS been given enough opportunity by affirmative action and what not for 2 generations??What more do you want?All countries that subscribe to meritocracy have succeeded whereas Malaysia has not.Is there anything wrong with them or is it with us??
Tun, hanya sikit Kaum Bumi yang mendapat faedah daripada DEB, ramai kaum bumi yang sakit kemiskinan… Hanya yang kaya sahaja makin kaya dari hari ke hari… yang dikampung masih terbiar, yang tinggal di kawasan setinggan dihalau dan dibiarkan tanpa haluan dan tujuan.Bagus kalau kita cuba NEM yang diperkenalkan Dato Seri Najib. 22 tahun Tun juga tak dapat selesaikan masalah kaum bumi… Yang kaya makin kaya dari hari ke hari dan Tun M ambil iktibar formula baru Dato Najib…..
SALAM KASIH DAN SAYANG
AYAHANDA RAKYAT TUN
Izinkan,

14. Sehubungan itu saya juga akan dicerca sebagai bersifat perkauman oleh pejuang meritokrasi yang bersifat perkauman. Biarkan.
Biarkan Si Luncai (meritokrasi) bersekongkol dengan ‘Ciyok-Ciyok’nya.
By DatukManis on August 26, 2010 8:39 AM
Sdr. ‘DatukManis,
Terima kasih…nostalgia buat kami.
Terkenang2 pula kami suatu ketika dizaman sekolah rendah. Che’gu bertanya…besar nanti nak jadi apa?…Komunis! jawab kami. Anak ‘kuli’ ini anti-gomen ketika itu kerna TIDAK dapat ‘scholarsip’ $10 ringgit sebulan walaupun dia antara murid cemerlang dalam pelajaran dan sukan (darjah 1 hingga 6) manakala anak ‘CC Gomen’ pula yang dapat menikmati nya…
Pakaian yang paling mahal dimiliki adalah jenama ‘DON’ dan pakai sampai usang. Kasut untuk ke sekolah adalah ‘Fung Keong’ ( kasut BATA adalah jenama mewah bagi kami). Untuk jalan2 ke pekan pakai selipar jepun. Pernah pula suatu ketika dipekan, kami masuk menjengok kedalam Klinik Ng..kena hambat keluar dek ‘jaga pintu’ dan diherik..’BODOH PUNYA BUDAK MELAYU’…sampai mati kami tak akan lupakan kata hina tersebut!
Walaupun perit dan pedih keadaan yang telah kami lalui namun kami tetap bersyukur kerana adanya Dasar Ekonomi Baru (DEB) yang dilancarkan selepas Peristiwa 13 Mei telah memberi pelbagai ruang dan peluang kepada ribuan anak miskin seperti kami untuk memajukan diri (tidak kira bangsa) tanpa tongkat!… TIADA EJEKAN KATA HINA lagi.
Secebis kisah untuk pejuang2 meritokrasi renungi..Apakah ruang dan peluang akan terbuka luas kepada yang simiskin dan lemah ( tak kira kaum atau anutan) jika dasar ‘merit’ diutamakan?
ALFATIHAH, AMIN.
Ps. La ni kami dah kenai jenama ‘Ferragammo’ dan ‘Porsche’ … THANK YOU Ayahanda TUN and NO to meritocrat racists!
Assalamualaikum Tun, sekali lagi saya doakan semoga Tun sihat dan panjang umur. Amin.
Apa yang diperkatakan ini sungguh benar… terutamanya mereka yang terasa Melayu kini terancam.
Tun telah berjaya membuktikan meritokrasi pun boleh jadi rasis.
Tapi apakah tak mungkin demokrasi pun boleh jadi rasis. Cuba lihat sekarang…. biasalah bila dah ramai. Nasib Sarawak boleh dilihat tahun depan. lihat saja kes menamakan semula Sibu!
Happy Merdeka Day to Tun & all Malaysian.
We are all proud to be Malaysians.

Assalamu’alaikum Tun,
Semuga Allah Subhanaullah Ta’ala memelihara Tun sekeluarga dan kita umat Islam semua dgn sebaik-baik pemeliharaan.dan semuga kita terhindar dari bencana yg sedang melanda seluruh Nusantara kita sekarang ini dimana kebangkitan suatu bangsa besar sedang hendak meminggirkan kita dibumi kita sendiri.
pemimpin kita amat lemah dalam menangani masaalah bangsa pendatang yg jadi pelampau hinggakan Tun yg kami kasihi terpaksa turut campur dgn hal-hal perkauman yg sepatut nya diuruskan oleh Akta ISA.kenapa pemimpin tertinggi kita begitu lemah Tun? kenapa karpal singh anak-beranak,limguaneng dan bapak nya dan orang-orang asing yg bukan bumiputra Negeri ini begitu bebas mencetus kebencian terhadap apa-apa yg berbau Melayu atau Islam,masih dibiarkan bebas berleluasa? hak istimewa apakah yg mereka ada? atau keberanian mereka didorong oleh kedayusan para pemimpin kita?
Tun mengambil contoh tentang Lee Kuan Yew dan Singapura.saya sebenar nya kadang-kala ingin memaafkan Tunku kerana dosa besar nya melepaskan S’pura ketangan bangsa asing.tetapi melihat tindak-tanduk orang-orang asing ini disini,saya rasa Tunku bukan saja patut dipersalahkan kerana melepaskan S’pura,malah lebih dari itu,tindakkan nya memberi kerakyatan kpd mereka juga merupakan suatu kesalahan yg amat besar terhadap seluruh bangsa Melayu dan umat Islam Nusantara.
ada jenis-jenis manusia yg memang tidak patut dibuat baik.seorang pemimpin yg gagal melihat hakikat kenyataan ini tidak patut dijadikan pemimpin.Tunku telah tiada,semuga Allah mencucuri rahmat keatas Roh nya.tapi kita kini yg kena tempias akibat kesilapan perhitungan politik Tunku.dan anak-cucu kita entah apa pula nasib nya,dua-tiga puluh tahun mendatang akibat pelaksanaan dasar SatuMalaysia pemimpin sekarang ini.
besar harapan saya agar Datuk Seri Najib terbuka hati nya meluangkan masa meneliti komen-komen di blog Tun ini demi untuk membuat pertimbangan yg betul dalam dasar-dasar rasmi nya.mungkin dgn membaca sendiri kebencian terhadap Islam dan Melayu yg terpapar disini beliau dapat gambaran yg lebih jelas tentang memberi makan buaya yg akhir nya akan memakan diri nya sendiri.
terimakasih Tun.
Salam Tun,
As everybody knows, in forex tradings its called leverage…you know – use as much other peoples’ money as possible so you can maximise your profits – quite a favorite topic in this blog. In this case its a matter of survival and getting the most out of your relative position in the country, race wise.
So you use whatever levers you can lay your grubby hands on – politics, economics, religions, laws/Constitution, education, international relations/reactions, etc.; capitalise on whatever advantages you have; undermine the others given whatever weaknesses they have; all to catapult yourself to the best possible position ready for the next assault….and the cycles goes on and on….until when – integration, assimilation…?
At the end of the day, you win some: enough to sustain yourself for the next round, and you lose some: not enough to give away your seat at the table. To remain in the game you must ensure that you don’t lose big, like what happened to the Red Indians, the Abos, as happening to the Palestinian Arabs and as some wiseguy here mentioned, to the Somalis too. On the other hand, the South African Blacks managed to rise from the ashes, thanks to the lever of world opinion being on their side.
The Malays was very nearly did in too, had they not stood up against the Malayan Union. Right now, all they still have in their favour is the political lever which is getting eroded and inefficient due to wear and tear. If they lose this too, then they will go the way of the Injuns, out into the reservations.
And its a very real threat. Right now, they are at their weakest due to infightings among themselves – broken into three major factions: UMNO, PAS and PKR. All they need is a concerted effort by their “enemies” to give them the proverbial push down the cliff – if they (ie. the enemies) can get their acts together – for which efforts seem to be gathering momentum. Assisted of course by some very influential “traitors” among the Malays – familiar stories? They apparently enjoy repeating history…..even if its not in their favor!
After more than 50 years of being the political masters of Tanah Melayu, then Malaya and now Malaysia, the Malays were still not seen as competitive enough to stand on their own as a respected and
proud people, despite their long history of empire building and civilization spanning centuries beginning some say in 700, others say very much earlier, until 1511.
Whats seemed to be the main obstacles? This they must contemplate deeply, together as a united people. Find they must, from the depth of their soul the solution to their predicament, well before they had to toss away the only lever they still have once its rendered irrelevant.
But be united first and foremost and its half the battle won.
Wishing everybody all the best.
Is meritocracy = aristocracy–A DECEPTION CALLED MERITOCRACY?
Let’s put that under scrutiny.
What is ‘meritocracy”?
1. A form of social system in which power goes to those with superior intellects.
2. A system in which advancement is based on individual ability or achievement.
3. The belief that rulers should be chosen for their superior abilities and not because of their wealth or birth.
4. A group of leaders or officeholders selected on the basis of individual ability or achievement.
5. Leadership by such a group.
A case in point.
The Singapore pledge that their school children recite every morning states: . . .” To build a democratic society, based on Justice and Equality” . . . – NOT “meritocracy….please note the WORD EQUALITY.
But consider what PM Lee of Singapore defends his position in power to be…
PM Lee: Our (political) system is based on
Salam Tun Mahathir
Menurut saya kalau bukan pimpinan Tun dan tegas demi memperjuangkan bangsa dan persekutuan tanah2 melayu tidak mungkin bangsa bumiputra dapat terus memegang kuasa dalam negara sendiri.
Ramai yang iri hati dengan pencapaian Tun waktu pemenrintah.Biasa lah bangsa melayu tidak bisa kerjasama,bersatu apa lagi hasrat denki dan hilang haluan pemikiran.
Bangsa lain memamang tidak ada kekuatan mencukopi untuk rampas kuasa kecuali mendukung bangsa bumiputra yang menentang pemerintah barisan dengan alasan kononnya korupsi berbeluasa tetapi pencapaian negara di segaja ketepikan.Coba lihat sendiri dengan negara2 lain apa bila sudah berkuasa situasi akan berbeda.
Mereka yang menentang sama ada bangsa melayu yang di dukung bansa pendatang senantiasa mecari alasan supaya pemerintah Barisan di tumbang.
Mereka pikir hanya mereka yang terperlajar dan bijak dan lupa bahwa sebahagian besar bansa bumi masih miskin dan kais pagi makan pagi.
Saya percaya bilanganan mereka terlalu kecil dan tidak memwakili rakyak umumnya.Setelah pilihan raya banyak orang melayu tertipu dan minda mereka di racuni oleh pihak parti2 pembakang.
Malaysia tidak bisa menerapkan metritokracy sepenuh nya karna akan menibulkan kekeresahan rakyat majoritas yang masih banyak kelemahan2nya.Seharusnya kerajaan tingkatkan taraf hidup mereka yang di kampong2 setanding dengan bangsa lain.Kalau kerajaan tidak hati2 Malaysia akan menghadapi bentrokan kaum dan yang akan bukan hanya negara tetapi bangsa minority akan rugi besar.
salam kali kedua buat Tun dan pembaca semua,
Maaf Tun, Tumpang lalu sekali lagi dan nak menyimpang juga. Hari ni ada free time sikit, tu yang tulis dua kali tu. Geram belum abih.
1. tadi saya round-round menjengok laman web orang lain. Laman web penyokong-penyokong PAS dan web Kit Siang juga.
2. Yang bestnya…… Kit siang buat posting, adalah…. 6 komen, 7 komen, 5 komen, paling ramai pun 11 komen… Awat yang penyokong DAP tak larat nak ‘mengomen’ kepada posting boss depa???
3. Dan yang paling BEST and AJAIB sekali, SEMUA KOMEN TU MEMUJI DAN SETUJU AJA……. tak dak satu yang tak setuju… haiii… ini sudah hairan bin ajaib. On Top of that, nak komen pun, bukan main susah, tak macam blog Tun ni, senang sungguh nak log in dan komen.
4. Pada hemat saya lah tun, You are indeed the best. Sebab orang mengata pun ada kat sini, yang memuji pun ada kat sini, tak gitu RAVI???
sikenit- yang sudah semakin kurang geram.
Salam sejahtera untuk Tun;
Sungguh tidak dapat diduga tentang betapa buruknya sifat orang-orang Pas kerana tarlalu fanatic terhadap parti mereka. Mereka lebih mengutamakan parti mereka daripada menonjolkan sikap patriotik terhadap Negara.
Menjelangnya Negara bersiap sedia untuk menyambut hari kemerdekaan, kita sebagai rakyat Malaysia sepatutnya mengibarkan Jalur Gemilang tanda cinta terhada Negara yang tercinta, tetapi sebaliknya bagi orang Pas, mereka dengan megahnya mengibarkan bendera hijau bulan secara besar-besaran sama ada di rumah mereka, premis perniagaan dan juga markas parti mereka.
Itulah menunjukkan betapa taksubnya orang Pas terhadap Parti mereka lebih daripada cintakan Negara. Sehingga untuk upacara hari kemerdekaan ini pun bendera parti dikibarkan seolah-olahnya Negara sedang mengadakan pilihan raya. ( http://www.mesra.net/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t6859.html )
( http://panggungopera.blogspot.com/2010/02/mengapa-ahli-pas-terlalu-taksub-kepada.html )
Islam itu indah, tetapi Pas adalah hipokrit. Jika dulu mengutuk UMNO kerana bekerjasama dengan parti China ( MCA & Gerakan), UMNO dituduh bermacam-macam, termasuk mengkafirkan orang Melayu yang menyokong dan mengundi BN. Kini sekongkol pula dengan DAP yang memperjuangkan meritokrasi.
Ini lah politik PAS(Parti Ajaran Silap) yang kuman diseberang laut nampak tapi gajah didepan mata buat tak nampak. Alasan-alasan pemimpin PAS dan juga penyokongnya tentang dasar PAS sekarang, kononnya melaksanakan dasar Islam yang tidak bersifat BANGSA adalah retorik semata-mata.
Memang benar Islam ada lah agama persaudaraan, tidak kira apa bangsa asalkan Muslim; manusia muslim itu adalah bersaudara. Tetapi persoalannya adakah PAS selama ini telah berjaya Islamkan ahli DAP?. Jika tidak, barang siapa yang beragama Islam mengundi PAS adalah kafir kerana bersekongkol dengan parti orang kafir (malahan lagi Ultra Kiasu itu).
Apakah Haji Hadi Awang telah lupa apa yang difatwakannya satu ketika dulu terhadap UMNO. Nampaknya PAS sanggup menghalalkan cara demi untuk mencapai matlamatnya. PAS ibarat meludah kemuka sendiri, cuba menegakkan benang basah kerana gara-gara ingin sangat berkuasa, akhirnya dikhuatiri; hanya menang sorak tetapi kampong tergadai.
Pas bising pasal lesen judi, tetapi dalam masa yang sama memperjudikan nasib orang Melayu dalam soal hak dan ketuanan Melayu kerana parti itu adalah Parti Ajaran Silap.
Apakah lagi yang tinggal untuk orang Melayu, jika Pas antara parti yang di harapkan untuk mempertahankan hak orang Islam Melayu selain Umno, kini telah jauh menyimpang daripada pejuangan asalnya?.
Pas bercakap pasal akidah, tetapi mempermain-mainkan soal akidah orang lain sejak dulu lagi, tetapi menghalalkan apa saja yang Pas lakukan dengan ulama mereka memberikan berbagai dalil dan nas yang diragukan.
Antara Contoh umpamanya, sanggup bersama dengan agama parti kafir(melipat kertas orang mati, membakar lilin ketika upacara orang mati, berkempen politik di tokong dan sebaginya) yang kononnya menunjukkan toleransi, tetapi sebenarnya lakunan semata-mata kerana ingin memancing undi orang China.
( http://www.angelfire.com/in/elcom98/akidah.htm )
Jika dahulu perbuatan itu dilakukan UMNO, sudah pastilah betapa dahsyatnya kutukan Pas terhadap UMNO dengan berbagai nas dan fatwa direka dan dicari untuk menarik perhatian pengundi fanatiknya dan orang Melayu supaya membenci UMNO.
Dalam masa yang sama mempertikaikan akidah orang UMNO dengan Nik Aziz mengatakan bahawa orang UMNO mencipta akidah. Iaitu memutarbelitkan ucapan Najib tentang akidah orang UMNO.
Apakah kelayakan Nik Aziz yang dapat menentukan dan mempertikaikan akidah orang UMNO yang jika tidak selain hanya Allah yang mengetahui?.

assalamualaikum Tun,,
maaf jika comment sy bebaur perkauman tetapi secara tulusnya bagi sy melayu patut bersikap meritokrasi,,ini aDalah melalui pengalaman sy yang berada di salah satu universiti di malaysia..jika semua mahu tahu keadaan perkauman di universiti adalah amat dasyat..di sebabkan sy bersekolah di MRSM jd pengalaman belajar bersama kaum lain adalah sukar hanya 10% yang hanya membawa kepada beberapa orang sahaja PELAJAR KAUM LAIN,,jadi keharmonian seperti konsep 1Malaysia boleh dilihat apabila kaum minority bekerjasama dengan kaum majoriti,,iatu melayu ,,cina dan india..namun apabila di universiti keaadaan amat tidk terkawal,,kaum cina terutamanya sangat kuat bersifat meritokrasi mereka,,manakala kaum melayu hanya melihat kaum lain begitu bersepadu dengan lemah,,sangat memalukan..melayu begitu sombong antara 1 sama lain,,tidak ada semangat untuk menguatkan/kukuhkan ikatan persaudaraan ssama melayu..
contoh dalam sesuatu bidang sains terutamanya yang sering diambil oleh pelajar-pelajar cina STPM semasa di universiti,,disebabkan mereka merupakan 40% yang mengambil bidang tesubut dan meningkat sepanjang tahun,,apbila masuknya pelajar tahun 1 kaum cina mereka amat dirai,,malah segala keperluan mereka seperti nota-nota lengkap diberi kepada junior-junor,,malah apabila perjumpaan kelab sesuatu course seolah-olah terbahagi kepada 2 iaitu kaum cina dan melayu..pelajar-pelajar junior cina tahun 1 amat diberi keistimewaan,,ikaatan yang dijalankan antara mereka amat bagos..pantas tanpa menitikberatkan konsep senior-junior..
sedangkan kaum melayu terutamanya bidang sains majoritinya dari matrikulasi tidak dibimbing dari awal..
malah senior hanya memberi 1salinan nota dan perlu difotokopi dengan sendiri,,memang berdikari tetapi proses ini sngat melambatkan
…..berbanding kaum cina amalkan 1senior 1 junior..
jika mahasiswa pun bermasalah seperti ini,, bagaimana jika menjadi pemimpin suatu hari nanti..teruk bukan…hmm..sepatut semangat membangunkan kaum sendiri perlu dipupuk,,bukan dibiarkan begitu,,sy cuma bpandangan bahawa jika hal kecl sebegini pon kita ketinggalan..apetah lagi dgan pentadbiran negara suatu masa nanti..apabila menyentuh isu kaum melayu semua orang melayu bangkit mengkritik itu n ini..tetapi secara zahirnya sangat sombong antara 1 sama lain ..jangan sampai kita dijajah dengan kaum yang telAh ada di negara kitA SENDIRI,,,,
WASSALAMM,,,,
Salam Tun dan Pembaca semua,
MAAF TUN, TUMPANG LALU, NAK MENYIMPANG SIKIT TUN…
1. Khatib baca khutbah Jumaat, sebut nama orang bukan Islam untuk didoakan oleh ahli jemaah solat Jumaat. Dari PARTI POLITIK MANA KHATIB TU? Begitu berani dan sanggup sungguh dia gadaikan ibadat solat fardhu Jumaat orang lain atas penafsirannya yang menyimpang dari ajaran sebenar agama???
2. Orang Bukan Islam masuk ruang utama solat, kat tempat imam lagi, untuk berceramah kepada orang Islam, ini kerja orang PARTI POLITIK MANA NI? Begitu kagum mereka kepada orang BUkan ISlam ini, kenapa di Selangor dah tak ada orang Islamkah yang boleh beri ceramah agama, tazkirah ka, apa sajalah. Penceramah itu seru ahli jemaah supaya taat kepada ALLAH dan Ikut Sunnah Nabi SAW ke???
3. Malaysia bukan negara yang sedang berperang, tetapi tak salah kita bersedia juga dengan alat-alat senjata canggih untuk negara kita, walaupun mungkin tidak setaraf yang dimiliki negara maju yang lain, tetapi orang PARTI POLITIK MANA NI yang pergi rata dunia jaja kelemahan negara ni, supaya orang lain ketawakan kita? Dia yang pergi rata-rata memperlekehkan Malaysia, apa sumbangan besar dia kepada negara???
4. Saya harap, tuan-tuan dan puan-puan dapat menjawab 3 soalan di atas dengan TEPAT DAN BETUL kerana, jawapannya menunjukkan kepada kita bahawa PARTI POLITIK yang dimaksudkan dalam soalan-soalan di atas adalah PENGKHIANAT AGAMA DAN NEGARA.
5. Tun, bukannya BN tak kuat Tun, tetapi tipu helah muslihat dan putar belit PARTI-PARTI POLITIK yang dimaksudkan di atas itu tersangat hebat, sehingga orang Islam dan MELAYU jadi keliru.
6. Semoga kita semua cepat sedar dari tipu helah muslihat jahat PARTI-PARTI POLITIK ITU.
7. Saya sangat sedih kerana mahukan undi dan kuasa, yang ulamak pun dah jadi jahil. Malah lebih bodoh dari si jahil.
SEMOGA ALLAH SWT BERI TAUFIK DAN HIDAYAH KEPADA KITA SEMUA DI MALAYSIA INI (LIM GUAN ENG, LIM KIT SIANG, and KARPAL SINGH INCLUDED). ha…. Pak Khatib, macam nilah doa hidayah, bukannya dok sebut dalam doa masa khutbah Jumaat tuhhh….hish…geram sungguh aku nih…
sikenit – yang sedang geram.
Salam Tun and fellow bloggers,
1. Thank you Nickhazril for your support of my comments.
2. I noticed there are those who understood Tun’s concern but there are a lot more who did not. Look at Tun’s accomplishments, attitude,behaviours, policies,etc. Tun supports meritocracy, but he knows that right now besides using terms like democracy, equality, human rights…these ingratefuls are using the term ‘meritocracy’to deny the malays’ special position. MERITOCRACY BECOMES A POLITICAL STRATEGY FOR THE CHINESE AGAINST THE MALAYS.
3. They know that at present the non-malays, especially the chineses are better equip when meritocracy is concerned. They’re into education (way back 2000 years),economy (they control factories, wholeselling and the malays have to buy through them). They are ready, that’s why they insist that meritocracy should be considered first. The day the malays agree, that’s it…they will take over everything. CAN’T U SEE? What if the chineses do not have the so called merit? I’m sure they will plead with the malay government not to use meritocracy as the benchmark.
4. That’s why they’re pushing that meritocracy idea, more for political purposes, not so much for better Malaysia. A very cunning strategy. I remember an incident whereby when UKM wanted to increase the number of intake of medical students, a chinese political party insisted that the medical students should do their practical at the Bangi campus and not at KL general hospital. Sounds like harmless right? Wrong…they (the chinese political party)wanted to ensure more incompetent malay doctors were produced. Why? Because in Bangi,who are the patients? kes batuk, kudis, gatal2…so the malay doctors could only handle such minor cases and will not be able to handle major medical cases…cunning right?
5. So please…malays and the good non-malays, try to read between the lines. Tun, the malays and good non-malays want meritocracy but the ingratefuls used the term as political tool, then we must stop the manipulation of the meritocracy concept.
6. Today they used the terms malaysian malaysia, meritocracy, freedom, equality, human rights, democracy, justice, etc for political purposes. Political is about power. Read the slogans of the opposition parties’ sponsored ngos. they have about the same concepts, slogan….CAN’T U SEE? Do you really think they’re interested in the real meaning of the labels?
7. I have come across frank swettenham’s comment about the profiles of the malays…so I’m sure the ingratefuls do understand the malays’ profiles, that’s why they’re using all those terms and the social-minded malays easily believed in them. Not difficultlah to read the malays. Remember what the chineses said when najib gave them the goodies? You give I take, but that will not change my stand… high time u study the chineses’ profiles, especially the ones in DAP.
Thank you.
Dearest Tun,
I feel the need to share these excerpts from this book ” Selected Articles & Speeches on Constitution, Law & Judiciary ” by Tan Sri Dato’ Haji Salleh Bin Abas.
“The Malay privileges are not absolute but balanced by legitimate interests of other communities, which broadly speaking consist of rights to acquire Malaysian citizenship according to the citizenship provisions in the Constitution, rights to profess and worship their religions, rights to use their ethnic languages and above all, rights not to be treated with discrimination. Like the Malay privileges these rights are also limited by a number of provisions in the Constitutions. …
…Thus the success of the Federation depends largely upon proper maintenance of the delicate balance between the special position of the Malays and the legitimate interests of other communities and this balance in turn depends upon and will inspire national consensus and commitment. If this balance is disturbed political equilibrium is likely to be affected thereby jeorpardizing that consensus and commitment and one would therefore expect trouble. ….”
I sincerely hope people with likes of Ravi, Andrewtay, DAP and PKR can understand this…
According to the online Oxford dictionaries, meritocracy means the government or the holding of power by people selected according to merit. Merit means the quality of being particularly good or worthy, especially so as to deserve praise or reward. By itself, the word is not racist. However in practical terms, when a race of people cares for only its’ race and exudes an air of self centredness only for its’ own and made worse when it expresses in a negative way about the other race using racial words and racial languages, then it is the people who are racists. Racism stirs trouble whether overtly or covertly, which is not a good thing and which contradicts the actual meaning of merit. Therefore whoever is a racist should not use the word merit and all the other words beginning with it because grammar aside, merit is opposite of something bad, in this case racism.
Racist??? What about this? Why no action? If Malay the one who doing it.. easy got caught and go to the prison. If others.. OK.. we forgive and better not do it again.. bye bye..
Yang Saya hormati, Tun Dr. Mahathir,
Assalamualaikum Wr Wb,
Terlebih dahulu saya mohon ma’af kerana bahasa yang akan saya gunakan ialah bahasa kasar.
Orang2 Melayu ini memang susah lah nak cakap, bodoh lama belum lagi hilang, bodoh baru di timbun banyak2, tidak ada kesudahan nya.
Pedulikan orang nak kata apa, pertahan kan hak dan maruah, tolak konsep2 penipuan habis2 habisan, baik Malaysian Malaysia kah? Meritokrasi kah? ini semua karut, titek!!!!!
Jangan pikir banyak2, orang Melayu tak boleh berpikir banyak2, tolak saja konsep2 karut dengan jenama-jenama indah, orang Melayu harus pegang satu prinsip jangan cepat percaya dengan kata2 manis.
Meritokrasi konon, saya kasi contoh, “anda tak pandai bernang, dia pandai bernang, kemudian dia kipas2 kan anda dan ajak anda lumba bernang, siapa akan menang?” ini lah Meritokrasi keparat.
Di-Singapura, Meritrokrasi telah berjaya mendedahkan berapa bodoh nya orang Melayu, lihat saja proporsi pemimpin di parlimen berbanding jumlah dan peratusan penduduk, kaum India lebih sedikit tapi lebih banyak jadi menteri berbanding Melayu; semua ini kerana Meritrokrasi.
MERITROKRASI BOLEH DAN MUDAH DI MANUPLASI!
Terima kasih,
Fawz.
Dahulu orang Cina.India datang ke tanahair kita
mereka dibenarkan Penghulu,Ketua Kampung Berdagang
tanpa membayar sewa,hanya habuan setahun sekali yg diberikan.
Sekarang orang melayu sendiri nak berniaga DITANAHAIR SENDIRI kena bayar sewa yg mahal.
Di Singapura kebanyakan pedagang melayu sewa kedai atas nama cina.
Sebab melayu dah tak ada tanah lagi.
Ada sama kerajaan pun kena bid the highest price,mentelaah lain cost lagi.Macamana nak survive,bro.
Di Malaysia pula,orang melayu merempat berniaga ditepi jalan
dengan pondok mereka yg macam kandang kambing.
APAKAH HARUS KITA LAKUKAN.
Semacam mereka berkuasa dalam arena politi,habislah mad burger,
makcik som jual mee goreng, bungkus tikar akibatnya.
Sekali lagi
APAKAH HARUS KITA LAKUKAN.
Salaam Tun,
Tidak ada satu bangsa di dunia ini yang berjaya naik tanpa bantuan kerajaan masing-masing. Di UK, dari mula lahir sampai besar, dari hujung kepala sampai ke hujung kaki, subsidi saja sehingga rakyatnya tidak perlu bekerja walaupun sihat sejahtera. Masuk universiti pun subsidi juga.
Jadi, tidak perlulah ditakuti akan tohmahan pihak pembangkang kerana mereka memang tidak pernah senang dengan Islam sendiri sehingga kini. Kita buat apa yang patut untuk perkara yang patut sahaja.
Wassalam
M
You should see a psychologist!!! Whatever encounter you have which made you hate non-Malays especially Chinese so much, you need to make peace with. You are dragging down the country with you fighting your own shadow all the time! May peace be with you!
Really surprised that you can place meritocracy akin to racism. I have to salute you! Are you admitting the fact that the Malays will be thrown back to where they were before the NEP? If anything, you have taken the pride from your own people! This country has become so hideous that even those (Malays) who made it would not return!!! Did they make it because you are watching over them outside Malaysia to ensure their success? You are right though, they have no pride in their own country to want to return to fix this mess you left behind.
Salaam Tun,
Kerajaan perlu ada pegawai yang khusus dalam PR di peringkat tempatan dan antarabangsa yang mampu bersuara dengan garang dan agresif untuk menangani sebarang tohmahan bila wujud sebarang isu besar/kecil oleh pembangkang.
Trend sekarang golongan muda perlukan orang yang sedemikian untuk bersuara bukan sahaja di era siber malah secara realiti juga. Mengharapkan Tun seorang tidak jadi. Tambahan pula, pihak pembangkang yang asyik mempertikaikan hak-hak orang Melayu ini menggunakan kaedah Zionis/Jews dari segala penjuru dalam satu masa untuk menembak secara bertubi-tubi. Bila panas 1 isu, org lain akan naikkan isu orang lain pula. Mereka tidak akan puashati selagi tidak dapat Malaya/Malaysia ini sepenuhnya.
Semoga Allah SWT merahmati Tun sekeluarga dan diberi kesihatan yang baik berterusan, Insyallah..
Salam YAB Tun,
Pada pendapat saya, rakyat Malaysia masa kini tidak memahami sejarah sebenarnya bagaimana lahirnya Malaysia yang merdeka. Baik Melayu, Cina dan India.
Dan generasi yang mengalami/menghadapi/hidup pada masa sebelum, semasa dan selepas merdeka sudah berkurangan. Amatlah perlu sejarah atau catatan peristiwa ini direkodkan dan dijadikan satu matapelaran di sekolah. Moral/pengajaran daripada sejarah perlu diajar kepada kesemua generasi muda tidak kira Melayu, Cina atau India.
Lihatlah bagaimana negera jiran yang menentukan sejarahnya dan diajarkan kepada generasi muda mereka. Sejarahnya telah diolah supaya menurut kehendak pemerintah.
Kita bukan hendak mengubah sejarah tetapi biarlah sejarah yang mendidik kita menjadi rakyat Malaysia yang bertoleransi, harmoni dan sejahtera.
Saya masih ingat semasa belajar di luar negara, pelajar Melayu akan dipandang serong oleh orang tempatan/pensyarah kerana telah tersebar cerita yang kerajaan Malaysia mengamal diskrimasi kaum. Pelajar yang pandai tidak dapat menerima biasiswa. Tahu-tahulah siapa yang menyebarkan kalau tidak pelajar Malaysia sendiri. “Pelajar” ini akan mengatakan bahawa mereka hanya menumpang di Malaysia kepada semua. Disinilah bermula ketidakpuasan hati “pelajar” tersebut hingga dibawa balik ke Malaysia. Dan ketidakpuasan hati ini berkembang subur hinggalah kini.
Perkara ini dapat diatasi jika sejarah sebenar kemerdekaan Malaysia diamati dan dihayati oleh semua. Saya mintalah kerajaan iaitu Kementerian Pelajaran dan Kementerian Warisan Kebudayaan supaya mengkaji perkara ini.
Wasalam.
Assalamu Alaikum Tun,
Masalah yang timbul sekarang ini pada pandangan saya ialah ada pihak yang mahu menuntut sesuatu yang bukan hak mereka berdasarkan perlembagaan. Kalau mereka hormat hak Melayu, orang Melayu sentiasa akan bersedia menjaga kepentigan kaum lain. Namun ini tidak berlaku…saya harap semua pihak brbalik kepada perlembagaan, jadi keadaan akan pulih seperti biasa. Itulah 1Malaysia yang dihasratkan pemimpin negara. Dari sana, kita bersama membina negara ini..pokok pangkalnya, jgan kacau hak orang lain..itu saja.
Dear Tun,
May you always be in good health.
1. This is indeed another well-written exposition. Thank you, thank you for not giving up on Malays. Lately, I tend to write in Bahasa as I believe messages could be effectively passed to those who are yet to master their English.
Yang Amat Berbahagia Tun,
2. Meritokrasi bukanlah demokrasi. Meritokrasi melebihkan mereka yang berkebolehan manakala demokrasi pula melebihkan majoriti.
3. ‘Kebolehan’ adalah hasil usaha yang didukung oleh kemudahan, pengalaman dan kemampuan. Seseorang yang belajar bermain alat muzik sudah tentu akan berkebolehan tinggi jika semasa latihan, dia mendapat kemudahan studio, diberi tunjuk ajar oleh guru yang berpengalaman dan berkemampuan membeli buku-buku latihan sampingan.
4. Oleh itu, sesiapa yang berusaha gigih tidak semestinya memperoleh kebolehan yang tinggi jika tidak mendapat kemudahan, pengalaman atau kemampuan kewangan yang sewajarnya. Tanpa kemudahan, pengalaman dan kemampuan kewangan yang seimbang, mereka yang bersaing di bawah kaedah ‘meritokrasi’ sudah tentu menempuh perlumbaan yang tidak adil. Meritokrasi tidak menjamin keadilan.
5. Di negara ini, bidang yang menjadi tumpuan utama ialah pelajaran dan perniagaan. Pelajaran penting kerana ia boleh membantu mendapatkan pekerjaan yang baik dan perniagaan pula penting kerana ia memberi kuasa ekonomi.
6. Mereka yang duduk di bandar-bandar mempunyai kemudahan dan pendedahan pengalaman yang lebih berbanding dengan mereka yang duduk di luar bandar. Penduduk bandar juga rata-rata lebih berkemampuan dari segi kewangan.
7. Ramai yang tinggal di bandar-bandar adalah bukan Melayu. Mereka mempunyai tapak persaingan yang kukuh. Orang Melayu kebanyakannya tinggal di luar bandar. Tapak persaingan mereka agak rapuh. Oleh yang demikian, mencanangkan perkataan meritokrasi adalah satu panggilan ke arah persaingan yang tidak adil dan merupakan diskriminasi perkauman terhadap orang Melayu.
Permainan Catur
8. Permainan catur menghendaki seseorang itu berfikir. Dia hendaklah merangka dan menyusun strategi. Setiap langkah yang diambil perlu ada kesinambungan dengan langkah yang seterusnya. Bukan itu sahaja, pemain catur mestilah berwaspada terhadap setiap langkah yang diambil oleh pemain yang lain. Dia perlu memikirkan apakah muslihat di sebalik langkah itu.
9. Orang Cina mempunyai versi caturnya sendiri iaitu Chinese Chess. Tetapi orang Melayu hanya mempunyai Dam Haji, satu permainan yang hanya memerlukan pemikiran mudah. Dengan hanya bermain Dam Haji, daya pemikiran seseorang itu tidak dapat diasah menjadi tajam.
10. Lambang salib yang terdapat pada buah catur membuatkan orang Melayu yang beragama Islam menjauhi permainan catur. Tambahan pula, sesetengah golongan Melayu menegah anak-anak mereka daripada bermain catur disebabkan lambang salib tersebut. Kebaikan sebenar permainan catur iaitu mengasah pemikiran menjadi tajam tidak dapat dirasai oleh kebanyakan orang Melayu.
11. Orang British telah banyak mendapat faedah daripada permainan catur. Ramai yang mempunyai pemikiran tajam. Antara mereka ialah Sir Gerald Templer. Tidak kurang juga dengan orang Cina. Sebaik sahaja Jepun menyerah kalah, Chin Peng telah memulakan langkah untuk menguasai Tanah Melayu melalui Parti Komunis Malaya (PKM). Begitu juga Lee Kuan Yew yang kemudiannya cuba meraih kuasa politik melalui slogan ‘Malaysian Malaysia’. Mereka menggunakan berbagai-bagai strategi licik untuk menguasai Tanah Melayu.
12. Orang Melayu perlu mengasah pemikiran.
Kesopanan
13. Kadang kala golongan berumur Melayu kecewa dengan sikap kurang hormat yang ditunjukkan oleh golongan muda Melayu. Sama juga pemimpin Melayu yang terkilan dengan sikap tidak berterima kasih sesetengah golongan Melayu kepada apa yang telah diperjuangkan. Mungkin terlintas di fikiran mereka sama ada patut mereka meneruskan langkah perjuangan.
14. Tetapi, sesetengah golongan daripada kaum lain juga sudah mula menunjukkan sikap kurang sopan terhadap orang Melayu.
15. Golongan berumur dan pemimpin Melayu perlu sedar bahawa kesopanan tidak lagi dititik-beratkan dalam masyarakat sekarang. Mereka tidak boleh terus mengharapkan balasan sekalipun sekadar sedikit rasa hormat. Mengharapkan balasan hanya akan membuatkan mereka terus berasa kecewa.
16. Walau apa sekalipun, golongan berumur dan pemimpin Melayu harus menetapkan langkah mereka dalam memperjuangkan dan mempertahankan hak orang Melayu. Inilah pengorbanan. Sama seperti ibu bapa yang sentiasa melakukan apa yang terdaya demi kebaikan anak-anak tanpa mengharapkan apa-apa balasan.
Ybhg Tun…
minta laluan untuk membuat komentar dan pemerhatian semasa tentang isu racist ini.
1) Menteri kabinet yang kuat menyalak; baru-baru ini ada memberi komen sekiranya guru beliau yang mengutarakan perkatan “pendatang?penumpang” dia akan sepak guru tersebut. Ini lah hemah seorang menteri yang juga tahu undang-undang dan datang dari keluarga ternama berlatarbelakang ilmu perundangan. Mana perginya hemah untuk berdebat, berbincang dan menggunakan ilmu intelek untuk meyakin dan menyerlah kenapa perbuatan dan tuturan guru tersebut ketterlaluan dan merosakkan perpaduan negara majmuk. Sebaliknya berperangai samseng mahu membelasah dengan kekerasan!
2) Menteri menyalak yang mencium tangan Tun ketika berada dalam kabinet Tun ini tidak faham maksud atau aspirasi Bangsa Malaysia. Macam murid samseng dalam kelas jadi belatuk yang tak faham kurikulum tapi angguk kepala bila gagal subjek salahkan guru. Betulkah dia faham konsep 1Malaysia atau hanya menjadi belatuk sekarang ni.
3)no.1 dan 2 MCA dah berbunyi macam DAP yang mengatakan 1Malaysia adalah kaum bumiputra melepaskan NEP dan keistimewaan “handicap” bumi yang termaktub dalam perlembagaan. Cakap tentang handicap- bukankah golf permainan lelaki budiman yang memberi “kelebihan” kepada mereka yang kurang cekap supaya permainan menjadi berdaya saing dan menarik. Maaf, Tun tak main golf- cuma PM dan DPM kita yang minat permainan lelaki budiman ini.
4) Lagi satu komentar terbaru dalam akbhar Star oleh pensyarah lawyer Melayu UM yang tak perlu handicap sebab semua supply chain dan sektor pembuatan adalah sama rata tanpa mengira bangsa, pedih mata saya membaca. Penyarah ini mengatakan artikle yang memberi keistimewaan kepada bumiputra- niat founding fathers adalah bersifat sementara. Beliau telah menafsir apa yang tersirat dan tersurat kebijaksanan yang terkandung dalam perlembagaan Malaysia- bijak sungguh anak melayu yang telah mampu berdiri atas kaki sendiri tanpa mengambil peluang handicap seumur hidupnya. Bukankah perlembagaan kita ada menyatakan tentang handicap biasisiwa, lesen, permit kalau tak silap saya
5) Seperkara lagi Ketua pemuda UMNO dah nampak gah dan semakin liberal glocal dia sampai tak nampak disadvantage bangsa sendiri depan mata- sanggup mencermin pendirian MCA. Tak nampak kah dia MCA dan MIC sibuk memperjuangkan agenda bangsa mereka. Agaknya beliau bercita-cita menjadi PM 1Malaysia dalam masa terdekat.
Kalau bukan bangsa Melayu yang meneroka hutan dikawasn hitam dan kelabu berdepan bahaya kominis dan binatang liar tidak akan wujud, Felda, atau Felcra atau Risda atau hutan menjadi bandar- kenapa kata melayu malas. Bukannya duduk kedai menjual barang runcit dan memberi hutang tanpa mengotor pakaian atau kekebun pukul 4 pagi. Cuma supply chain dan logistic tidak memberi peluang sama rata kepada peniaga Melayu.
Kalau bukan bangsa Melayu yang majoriti menjadi pewira negara (askar dan polis hutan)mempertahankan negara dan berapa banyak keluarga yang tidak dapat beraya bersama anak atau suami kerana berada diperbatasan satu ketika. Betapa berdebar ahli keluarga setiap kali terdengar berita pertempuran dengan pengganas kominis- kalau bukan kerana pengorbanan ini adakah kita dapat melangkah kearah peningkat ekonomi sekarang. Walaupun golongan ini tidak dapat menyumbang cukai; keamanan yang dikecapi melalui blood, sweat and tears menyumbang kepada syarikat-syarikat yang dapat keunutngan dan membayar cukai.
Handicap is to even up the odds.
Salam Tun,
Very well said. Hipokrasi meritokrasi jajaan racist chauvinist keturunan cina.
A)Meritokrasi dalam education ?
Anak-anak cina secara umum lebih dapat banyak asas dokongan pelajaran dari segi budaya dan bantuan kewangan. Rata-rata mereka cukup dari segi keperluan yang membantu untuk cemerlang seperti makanan yang berkualiti, suasana pelajaran kondusif dan budaya kolektif yang menyokong berjaya dalam pendidikan dari ibubapa, komuniti dan pemimpinnya. Lebih bertuah lagi, sejak awal lagi bimbingan serius penentuan masa depan dari segi kerjaya telah diusahakan oleh ibubapa dan komunitinya secara matang.
Walhal anak-anak bukan cina seperti melayu masih rata-rata belum sempurna asas-asas seperti diatas. Malah ramai yang terkial-kial ketika melangkah ke sekolah, terpinga-pinga ketika masuk universiti dan buntu selepas graduate. Kenapa ? Budaya pendidikan belum kukuh dalam masyarakat bukan cina terutama melayu sekalipun ramai yg sampai peringkat universiti. Malah sampai dah kerja di jabatan kerajaan atau GLC pun masih mamai tanpa bimbingan senior mereka sendiri. Yang nyata kuat adalah budaya peperiksaan dan budaya dapat sijil dan budaya ikut babibuta dan penakut pak turut.
B)Meritokrasi bidang pekerjaan dan perniagaan ?
Kalau etnik cina bercakap untuk ini memang terang sangat hipokrit dan mengarut. Kaum cina paling kuat perkauman dan nepotisma dalam hal ini bukan sahaja antara etnik tetapi antara suku cina sendiri. Tamak dan sabotaj sesama sendiri pun tidak kurang hebat macam khinzir. Jangan nak mencarut suruh etnik lain bersikap meritokrasi sedang kita sendiri prejudis sesama suku dan berat sebelah dalam memberi peluang. Cuma bezanya etnik cina lebih pandai bersatu sesama suku sekiranya kepentingan umum etnik cina tergugat berbanding etnik lain.
UMNO masih ajar subsidi tak sudah kepada melayu dan mengharap blessing etnik lain. MCA paling sakit sampai ambil penzina tidak bermoral sebagai presiden. MIC jadi produk Sammy vellu menggalak budaya samseng.PAS gadai persoalan akidah demi politik dan jadi bahan lawak bangsa lain(masih tak sedar dan menyedihkan mengharapkan redha bukan muslim ??) DAP parti hipokrit guna duit haram sbg resources dan banyak ahlinya pelacur prinsip demi wang dan tidak boleh dipercayai langsung ( pandai hina orang pasal rasuah sedang sendiri beri dan makan rasuah dengan rakus )
So, fellow Malaysian. Relevenkah parti politik dan pemimpin politik untuk membentuk negara ini atau anda sendiri berusaha sebaik mungkin menjaga kebajikan anda dan setkan merit anda sendiri tanpa prejudis kaum ?
Salam buat Yg Bbhg Tun,
Bagus untuk sedarkan orang Melayu / Bumiputra dan bukan bumiputra (keturunan China)khususnya bagaimana hubungan dua bangsa ni bermula sejak zaman Kerajaan Melaka lagi. Kalau dua-dua tak sedar, lama-lama makin jauh menyimpangnya dan terlupa terus sejarah hubungan dua kaum utama ni yang dah lebih lima kurun bersahabat.
Nak kata semua orang China pro komunis, tak juga. Sebab ada Musa Ahmad, Shamsiah Fakeh dan lain-lain. Nak kata orang Melayu, pro kerajaan tak juga, ada berbangsa China jadi polis dan memerangi kaum China sendiri. Ianya lebih bercorak individu.. Perjuangan sekarang lebih kepada siapa rajin, dia dapat, yang malas atau kurang peluang kenalah dibantu.
Dua bangsa ni macam dua tangan kita, satu suap nasi dan satu lagi basuh….. Bagi tangan yang suap nasi, ditakdirkan tangan satu lagi kudung, terpaksa juga mengambil-alih tugas tangan yang kudung tu, tak kiralah hina ke tidak…
Tapi tangan kidal nak buat macamana…?
Salam tun,
I realised that those who always hate your post around here are those with chinese username. but i dont really care la. i just want to give my response to some of the point given by others here.
1. regarding those who always ask the malays in malaysia to be like malays in singapore who work hard. there’s one fella who comment up here said that malays in singapore if they were treated unjustly they would have migrated to malaysia. but they didn’t n the writer ask us to wonder why ourselves. come on lah. melayu di singapore itu mestilah melayu yang asalnya dari sana. kenapalah mereka nak tinggalkan tanah air mereka meskipun bangsa lain dah mendominasi tanah mereka?? melayu singapura dah tak berkuasa. nak tak nak kene la kerja kuat, di negara yang dah tak rasa macam nenek moyang dia yang punya dah. siapa kata melayu singapore rasa bahagia di sana bawah pemerintahan cina singapore. apa yang jadi adalah melayu singapore ada dua jenis. satu yang kumpulan betul2 alim, jaga agama. kedua, kumpulan yang dah idup macam orang putih..
the same question can be asked to the questioner, if you don’t feel that u are being treated fairly in this country, why don’t u run away also? aiyo, manyak bising woo..dah la ada patung besar di penang, kelantan n batu caves. n this is actually muslim majority country under the rule of muslim leaders!!! i feel that it really doesnt make sense to have the biggest statues of those gods in this particular country. n yet the muslims are like so jaga hati orang lain because our religion teach us to do that, n we choose to obey it.
2. saya sebenarnya suka kawan2 dengan orang cina dan india yang ade semangat malaysian. sangat suka kita boleh berbahasa malysia sama2. tapi mereka yang tak reti bahasa malaysia itu, soryy lah kan. i tak sure u dari negara india ke china ke. sbb orang myanmar, bangladesh kat mesia pun pandai je cakap bahasa malaysia. kalau betul lah cina n india di malaysia sayang dan setia sama malaysia, hapuskan sahaja sekolah vernakular. sume orang masuklah satu sekolah. sume orang pun diwajibkanlah belajar 3 bahasa, bahasa malaysia, inggeris dan bahsa pilihan ketiga sama ada mandarin ataupun tamil. tak perlulah sibuk2 nak jadikan mandarin n tamil bahasa kebangsaan negara. bahasa2 tuh dah dimartabatkan di negara asal mereka sendiri. once dah takde sekolah vernakular, boleh la kita hapuskan hak istimewa orang melayu itu kalau betul itulah yang mereka benar2 mahukan dan tak puas hati sangat. kemudian kita hapuskan parti2 perkauman seperti mic, mca dan umno juga gabungkan semua jadi parti bn sahaja misalnya. orang melayu tak perlu risau la kan. kita sampai bila2 tetap majoriti.insyaAllah pemimpin tertinggi akan tetap di kalangan mereka yang muslim tak kira bangsa apa.
3. this is my special request to chinese. please advise your females to wear modestly in this country. really dont like them wearing sexy clothes here n there in this country.tak tahu malu ke. kerana orang lain yang pakai seksi2, orang lain yang mungkin jadi mangsa seks orang lain…
end.
Pemimpin Melayu lembab,
Rakyat Melayu sama lembab.
Kenapa, Mengapa,dimana salahnya.
Pendidikan,Pelajaran,Ilmu
Bangga belajar bahasa kebangsaan,bahasa melayu.
Apa pandainya melayu.
Lebih pada beranggan saja.
Economy,Perubatan,Pembangunan atau sebagainya,mana melayu.
Bodoh sombong tak nak belajar English sebagai bahasa pelajaran.
Ilmu Sains,Teknologi,Pembangunan,Military,Perindustrian,Elektronik
kesemua hasil ilmu orang English.
Majority pemimpin melayu tak faham english.
Rakyat kebanyakan melayu tak faham bahasa english.
Bahasa English ilmu duniawi.
Bukan kita nak mengagungkan bahasa english,
bahasa englishlah ilmu dunia.
Kenapa sombong,kenapa tak nak belajar english.
Belajar ENGLISH TAK semestinya kita mengenepikan bahasa ibunda.
Melayu tak punya ilmu,tak bolih kedepan menghadapi cabaran dunia luar.Hanya menang sorak di kedai kopi,tak bolih berusaha kerana tak punya ilmu.Ada hasil sayang tak tahu menghasilkan,bergantung lebih pada orang cina.
Apa ada pada ilmu melayu.
Sajak,menang sorak macam tin kosong,nak naikan rumah kampung pun senggit.Nak naik bangunan,ha ha jauh sekali.
Nak berbini lebih satu,orang melayu champion.
Nak berlagak melayulah orangnya.
Saya berkeras Melayu mesti belajar english sebagai ilmu pembangunan sendiri.Anak muda kita masukan National Service 2 tahun,supaya mereka bergaul dengan berdisplin.
Tak lepak sana sini,tak jadi mat rempit,mat gian,mat penasaran.
Kerajaan,Ibubapa mesti mainkan peranan penting.
Anak muda kita perlu bimbingan.
Yg dah tua,kita tuakan,
Yg muda kita bimbing ke jalan,arah pembangunan.
Yg NAK JALAN,KITA JALANKAN.
Alfateha
Salam Tun,
Thank you for having it in the malay version and so your voice be heard troughout the nation.
Selamat berjuang Tun, semoga anak bangsa akan mengatahui sejarah yang tersirat dan yang tersurat. May Allah bless you with good health inshyallah. amin.
Alirimba.
Dearest Tun,

Semua manusia berasal dari Adam dan Hawa, tidak ada (bangsa) Arab yang lebih mulia dari (bangsa) bukan Arab atau (bangsa) bukan Arab lebih mulia dari (bangsa) Arab; juga tidak ada yang (berkulit) putih lebih mulia dari yang (berkulit) hitam atau yang (berkulit) hitam lebih mulia dari (berkulit) putih) Ketahuilah bahawa setiap Muslim adalah saudara kepada Muslim yang lain. Kamu semua adalah sama; tidak seorang pun yang lebih mulia dari yang lainnya kecuali dalam Taqwa dan beramal saleh.
Dear ekompute/fellow bloggers
1-Di bulan puasa yang mulia beserta hari Nuzul alQuran ini mohon lah semua orang2 Islam untuk bawa2 bertenang didalam memberi komentar didalam blog chedet yang di hormati ini.Jauhilah dari meluahkan kebencian yang keterlaluan terhadap rakyat Malaysia dari kaum2 yang lain.Hating another race is hating Allah who has created them.Kita semua Melayu,China.India,Iban,Kadazan,etc semua asalnya dari Adam dan Hawa.Amatilah khutbah Haji terakhir diatas yang di kirim oleh ekompute YANG BUKAN PUN BERAGAMA iSLAM.
2-Tahu kah saudara perasaan benci yang ada pada diri kita itu adalah hasil dari hasutan shaitan belaka?Lupa kah kita semua bahawasanya shaitan berjanji untuk membawa manusia kearah perpecahan, kehancuran dan kesesatan?
3-Janganlah menganggap rakyat Malaysia dari kaum yang lain sebagai pendatang itu bererti kita telah menghina perlembagaan yang telah pun mengiktiraf mereka sebagai rakyat Malaysia.Janganlah kita berfikiran cetek sekadar melepaskan perasaan yang akibatnya nanti hanya menghancurkan badan…Kalau kita tidak mengiktiraf mereka maka mereka juga boleh tidak mengiktiraf kita..for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
4-We are all here to stay.Well at least I know this is the place that I will want to be till I die.let us be positive and God will bless us all.Trust me God has favoured us all, can’t you all see the blessings heaped upon us?
5.We are in the heart of the World with the unstoppable return of the awakened DRAGONS China and India.South East Asia is in the centre of it all.It is EQUIDISTANT to China,India and Australia.And Malaysia is the heart of South East Asia neighboring almost all of ASEAN.This is the most perfect crossroads of the 21st century!
6-Is this not a gift of God?Strategic position is awesome for business,nobody can escape us my friends.We are practically in the centre of the world.If you give a country like this to the genius will make tons of money but if you give to the monkeys..then it’ll be just a worthless piece of land.
7-We are sheltered from the monsoons,we do not have earthquakes,no volcanoes,we are also land below the wind so no typhoons,No major floodings,let see what else?..oh yeah,open for business throughout the year!Forever summer land..real paradize we got here!
8- And our Malaysian land is not any ordinary land but mind you is among the most beautiful forested land in the world.Don’t believe you ask those Arab tourists.To them this is paradise that’s why they will not stop praising Allah when they see our jungle.Anything else great about our land?My friend its amongst the most fertile land in the world.. you don’t know?And last but not least it’s mineral rich I tell you…OIL,TIN,GOLD….
9-To bless us further God have in the strangest ways brought in all the perfect human materials to tackle the top 3 biggest Asian nations..Malays,Indians and The Chinese people who could later link us with the future powers of the 21st century,And the most remarkable and amazing thing of all these Chinese and Indians although they’ve been here for over a century they are still pure Chinese and Indians ..Wah lau weh!!!Isn’t that awesome?The Chinese of Indonesia ,Thailand,Phillipines no longer speak Chinese so they have lost the advantage to tackle China as compared to the Malaysians.Likewise with India.
10-So we have the most powerfully strategic,major disaster-free,beautiful,fertile mineral rich land,we have all the right human materials Malays/Muslims ,Chinese/Buddhist and Indians/Hindus and oh my God !!..our East Malaysian are mostly Christians ..and through them we can link perfectly well with the Christian Philippines and Australia..see?I don’t even realize this.You think any other country is so blessed like us culturally?
11-So if Najib is business minded enough he must stop a while and think how to exploit all these resources that God have blessed Malaysia so much to make tons of money for this country so that everybody can be happy.If in the initial stages the Chinese and Indians can help us make the money then let us help them to make the money..more succesful their business, job opportunities for everyone ,more taxes and more opportunities for the Malays to learn right here in Malaysia..no need to go to CHINA or INDIA ..God have blessed them so much God have send the CHINA and INDIA to Malaysia to teach them and provide them links with CHINA and INDIA.Tsk,tsk,
tsk,what lucky people!
12-Indonesia is Asia’s third largest country and someday if the Malays are positive enough to be humble and learn up from their more advance colleagues they too are not deprived of a huge market like that afforded the Chinese and Indians.
13-The minds on its own can make a heaven of hell or a hell of heaven.My fellow bloggers,we have no choice but to see things in the positive way because there really is no other option.Don’t just think about ourselves,think also about our children how are they going forward if this racial madness is not contained now…
14-Tun let us end all this racial topics but instead as suggested by ‘peiseh’ seek suggestions on how we can solve this problem in a win-win out’ of the box’ approach.Remember with every problem comes opportunity so the bigger the problem we should be able to enjoy a bigger opportunity.Malaysia is a blessed nation.But it will require our effort before it can deliver anything.We must strive and work for peace and nothing else.Whatever else that we Malaysians are fighting for are all wants only..not actually needs.You go to Palestine and you’ll understand.
15-Tun why don’t you study my two Malaysia suggestion?After ‘hell boy ‘ think its positive I think maybe you would find it workable too.In this my TWO MALAYSIA nobody is held back and while we try to provide affirmative actions to the disadvantage group of people.It’s a win-win formula.Let us not squander all these resources God have blessed us..
Thanks Tun.
I would like to correct this sentence to reflect more accurate what UMNO was actually fighting for:
12. The difference between UMNO and the other parties is that UMNO is openly partisan (among the Malays for the elite Malays), not hiding its (NARROW) concern for the well-being of the (FEW ELITE) Malays (POLITICIANS). Unfortunately because of mismanagement (CORRUPTION) it has become (THE PRIME REASON THAT CAUSE THE MALAY TO REMAIN) weak. That is why today we (ARE VERY CONCERN AND) have (CREATED) Perkasa and other Malay NGOs who (ARE ALL EX UMNO AND THEY)are as openly concerned about the Malays as the UMNO once was? The condemnation by those said to be advocating meritocracy is (NOT TO BE BLAMED) because they see the (FUTURE OF MALAYSIA LIES IN THE)racism of the meritocrats, just as the Malays of 1964 (WHO ARE ALIVE TODAY)saw the (FAILURE OF) racism of “Malaysian Malaysia”.
MANY MUST BE REALLY SURPRISE WITH YOUR THINKING AND LOGIC TODAY,HOW CAN YOU BLAMES EVERY OTHER MALAYSIAN FOR WHERE MALAYSIA IS TODAY WHEN UMNO HAVE ALMOST COMPLETE FREE HAND THE LAST 50 YEARS AND OF WHICH NEARLY HALF WERE YOURS! TO ME YOU SHARE AT LEAST 50% IF NOT MORE FOR THE MALAYSIA’S FAILURE TO DEVELOP A MORE GLOBAL AND SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY, THE FOUNDATION IS SIMPLY NOT THERE WHEN YOU PASSED THE BATON TO PAK LAH ………YOU ARE SMART BUT YOU STAY TOO LONG AND WITH TOO MANY CRONY FOR TOO LONG THAT JUST KNOW WHAT SONG YOU LIKE AND THEY ALL SING THE SAME OLD SONG TO YOU UNTIL YOU LOST DID NOT REALISE THE GRASS ROOT HAVE MOVE ON TO NEW SONG…. IT IS A GLOBALISED WORLD TUN AND THE THREAT MALAYS (MALAYSIA MORE ACCURATELY) IS FACING IS NOT FROM FELLOW MALAYSIAN BUT THE WORLD, THE WORLD DONT CARE A SHIT WHETEHR YOU ARE MALAY, CHINESE, INDIAN, KADAZAN, MALAYSIAN, SINGAPOREAN, BRITISH OR AMERICAN…. THEY ENSURE THEY CAN SURVIVE GLOBALLY, SO MOVE THE KAMPONG OUT OF ALL OUR HEAD WUICK……….
I don’t follow much on the politics, but in term of economy and education (healthcare? the idea is there).
Follow Meritocracy:
+ Whoever aim high got their reward as what they deserved.
+ All plain and clear. Result based.
+ Minority happy(fact anywhere:lucky lucky) feel happy.
- Somebody who already excellent and lucky may feel that they must do it by themselves in everything while others; who not doing so well and unlucky also get the place like them free of charge.
- Patriotism among the rich dropped.
- Some ‘spoil’ authority may act unfair, helping their own circle only.
Solution:
1- Free education, Free hospital, like Canada and France. Up to 70% of your salary goes to the tax.
3- Tax free country, like Dubai. Favor only their 10% citizen.
4- Free so so country, like USA. Money based community.
Best solution:
Learn from them but be it on our own, craft our policy depending on our own need and priority.
Solution for a person:
Whatever happens, act wisely, pursue for the best of you.

Assalamualaikum Tun dan selamat berpuasa,
Apakah meritokrasi baik untuk negara ini? Dengan adanya meritokrasi maka selesailah segala masalah antara kaum di negara ini?
Kalaulah betul nak laksanakan meritokrasi pasaran negara perlu dibuka seluas-luasnya kepada peniaga asing. Pasaran perlu dibuka seluas-luasnya kepada peniaga-peniaga luar negara. Superhypermarket seperti carefour dan macro perlu dibenarkan membuka perniagaan mereka tanpa sebarang sekatan. Bank-bank asing seperti bank of Amerika, citibank perlu dibenarkan masuk dan dibenarkan membuka sebanyak cawangan mereka suka. Syarikat-syarikat asing diberikan kebebasan untuk membeli syarikat-syarikat tempatan yang lemah tanpa sebarang sekatan. Walaupun ini akan menjejaskan peniaga-peniaga kecil cina tapi ini adalah meritokrasi. Walaupun syarikat-syarikat tempatan tidak dapat melawan kepada syarikat mega asing sbb syarikat asing punya dana, dan kepakaran jauh lebih tinggi,tak apa, sebab meritokrasi menuntut supaya yang lemah mengalah kepada yang kuat.
Saya rasa tidak adil jika perlidungan kepada melayu diangkat tapi perlindungan perniagaan cina dari perniagaan asing dikekalkan. Alasan to protect the local businesses tidak boleh diterima. Kalau terus dilindungi sampai bila dia nak berdikari dan bersaing di peringkat antarabangsa. Walaupun peniaga asing mempunyai dana berbillion dolar dan mampu menjual produk jauh lebih murah dari peniaga cina tapi orang cina perlu juga bersaing walapun modal hanya setakat juta ringgit. Ini tuntutan meritokrasi. Yang lemah menyerah pada yang kuat. Jangan pulak nanti apabila peniaga-peniaga cina lingkup sbb tak dapat bersaing dengan peniaga asing org kata orang cina malas dan tak mahu memajukan diri pulak. Ini kalaulah pihak-pihak berkenaan ikhlas nak melaksanakan meritokrasi di negara ini.
Salam Sejahtera Ybhg Tun,
Untuk mencapai kemerdekaan ketika itu, semuanya bersetuju. Bukan Melayu diberikan kerakyatan dan Melayu dijamin hak ketuanannya di bumi Melayu ini.
Sekarang setelah lebih 50 tahun merdeka, semuanya ingin ditukar. Kononnya mereka pun lahir dibumi ini.Hak ketuanan Melayu mesti dihapuskan.
Seorang ahli perniagaan bukan Melayu terkenal satu ketika dahulu menceritakan kepada Mingguan Malaysia (satu ketika lama dahulu) antara sebab mereka berbondong2 datang keTanah Melayu adalah kerana “sometimes we had to exchange babies in order not to eat our own flesh as even rats were no more around’.
Satu kesilapan bagi sang kerbau itu mendengar rayuan sang buaya supaya mengangkat batang pokok yang sedang menghempapnya.Setelah diangkat, kerbau itu pun kena ngap..
Dear Dr,
I am a Malay, a Malaysian, and an UMNO member. No one can deny the fact that this country, once known as Tanah Melayu, belonged only to the Malays. Even the British had recongnised that. However, when discussion for Independence came about, the British had headaches thinking about the future of the Chinese and the Indian. As a result, they requested the Malays to grant citizenship to all the immigrants. In return, the Malays were guaranteed special rights in the constitutions of this country. Is it fair??? Yes!!!
Fast forward 53 years! Non-Malays are questioning the special rights enjoyed by the Malays. In retaliation, the Malays are questioning the right of citizenship given to the non-Malays. Is it fair??? Yes!!!
After Merdeka, we realised the British were liars. The Malays were groomed to become ‘piun’ in government service and lived in the kampong, whilst the Chinese were groomed to be in business and lived in the city. As for the Indian, they remained doing hard labour in the plantation and railway across the country.
Is this fair??? No!!!
Fast forward 53 years! The Malays are still behind in the quest for the wealth of this country. Due to early headstart during the British, the Chinese are well ahead widening the economy gap, yet the Chinese become greedy and ask plenty in the name of meritocracy. Most of the time, their demands are at the expense of the Malays. Is this fair??? No!!!
To you Dr, keep on fighting for the Malays!!!
Another excellent post from Tun. This subject was long over-due, thank you for being perspective to it!
Tun,
Sebenarnya orang melayu tidak sedar, di dalam dunia ini, kita bukan bersaing dengan orang cina atau orang india tetapi kita bersaing dengan seluruh dunia.
Sekiranya harga petrol di pasaran dunia naik, orang melayu yang mempunyai pendapatan perkapita dua ribu lebih merasa beban lebih berbanding dengan bangsa lain di negara maju yang pendapatan mereka jauh lebih besar.
Untuk kita maju kehadapan, keseluruhan rakyat kita harus bersatu meningkatkan ekonomi negara. Sekiranya ekonomi baik, tidak kira yang miskin dan yang juga kaya akan mendapat habuan.
Mengikut perpatah bahasa inggeris, “when the tide is up, all the boat will be afloat”, tafsirannya, sekiranya air laut pasang, tidak kira bot kechil atau besar, semuanya akan naik timbul.
Pertubuhan perkauman seperti Perkasa dan hindraf akan hanya menaikkan ketegangan antara kaum.
Untuk maju kehadapan, orang melayu sepatutnya menolong bangsa sendiri. Malangnya sikap orang melayu banyak yang hasad dengki, tidak suka melihat bangsa sendiri maju.
Memang tidak dinafikan, UMNO memang banyak berjasa kepada orang melayu. Tetapi, mereka yang mendapat bantuan dan menjadi senang mula menyombong dan bongkak dengan bangsa sendiri. Yang mempunyai pekerja bangsa sendiri, menganggap mereka seperti hamba-abdi.
Akhirnya, bila orang melayu tidak mencapai tahap yang diimpikan, mulalah menuding jari kepada pendatang luar dan juga bangsa asing. Kesalahan sendiri tidak mahu diakui.
Saya berharap UMNO akan berubah. Di zaman ini, banyak orang melayu yang sudah terpelajar. Sepatutnya UMNO dapat mengambil mereka yang terbaik untuk menjadi ketua dan pemimpin. Malangnya,ramai antaranya yang kehadapan bukan yang berkebolehan tinggi berdasarkan merit tetapi banyak yang “yes man”.
Salam & Greetings,
Just an addition to this so call meritocracy:
I just had a meeting today with my business associate and friend who is in the industrial repair business, this happened about 2 years ago. After renting the factory where he conduct a very successful business (purely non Ali Baba in case you’re wondering) he wanted to buy the factory from a Chinese landlord.
This Chinese landlord refuses to sell and hiked up the price tremendously to deter him. After persistently offering to buy the property at slightly higher market price, my friend got fed-up with this shenanigans and request an assistant from his Indian friend to be a proxy buyer.
His Indian friend met with the Chinese owner and offer to buy the property. He immediately agreed and sold the property at slightly lower than market price!!! Long story short, the Indian friend bought the property and immediately change the name to my Malay associate which now still operate at that factory.
So, here’s the gist:
1. The Chinese property owner refuse to sell to a Malay at even slightly higher than market price. What is he afraid of?
2. Meritocracy? Meritocracy my a** ..
Salam & Greetings.
Tun M.
there is no changing your views of matters – you have set thoughts and ideas. Sensible Malaysians at large will ignore your comments and rantings as it’s pointless to argue against a person who has only one motive – “he for all himself”.
And sir, you legacy will be remembered by a few…note the operative word… few…
Internationally, you’ll be always remembered by the tag Paul Keating gave you “recalcitrant”. Lots of politicians are recalcitrant…but that term will only be synonymous to you.
Your blind devotees will remain blind…they wont be able to compete in the world that is progressive, fast, and doesnt look too kindly to laziness and stupidity.
Your cronies who sang your praises will sing no longer once you have departed this world for the next…they were in it for themselves…you taught them to be selfish and the only difference they have over your blind supporters…they have a brain. And they will use this brain for their selfish gain.
Tun, meritocracy will prevail in Malaysia…it may take 2, 3 possibly 4 generations to rid the cobwebs from your failed administration. But future Malaysians at large will evolve and start recognising that meritocracy by no means, will deprive one while rewarding the other, but making one deserving to be rewarded.
Let me reiterate Tun M. – yours was a failed administration. It failed the country and for the 22 years you governed Malaysia, we could have achieved progress…but we will remain with pure rhetorics which you were so fond of.
UMNO under you was strife with corruption and money politics, yet you kept a blind eye. Your coalition partners were led by incompetent people, yet you were just happy to let them be as long as they served your whims.
You couldn’t implement education programs that would make Malaysia compete with the progressive nations, and you blame all your failings on others.
People like JJJ and SamuraiMelayu just mimic what you say because they have no comprehension of what humanity is or what progress means.
And you havent equipped the likes of them to compete and excel on a level playing field of fair and equitable rules. And who’ll be the cause of their failure – you sir…and you can be proud of that.
(Ravi)
About the Surau attack, if the government did not proceed with charge then next time dont bother catching the culprits.
or even better, everyone should just start apologizing when crime is committed?
Minta izin Tun,
In response to capello08 posting on August 25, 2010 6:41 PM;
“But we have seen in some other countries like Australia, the level of racism against Chinese is quite high, in certain areas.”
Have you ever stay in Australia? I am currently in QLD, Australia and I am in a position to say that majority Australian is against racism. NO hatred against the Chinese, Malay or any race. In fact I mix quite well with all whites and Indonesian Malay here ( No sniff of racial tension like what is happening in Malaysia right now )
“We don’t want to be like South Africa or Indonesia.”
Chase away all Chinese, Indian and other races from Malaysia;
just like Malays chasing away the Chinese in Indonesia ( at one stage ) and the blacks getting rid of the whites in Zimbabwe
and Malaysia will be like Indonesia or Zimbabwe.
Salam Sejahtera Tun,
Syabas alqatab dan DenZuk Vega – tahniah kerana saudara berdua berpandangan jauh kehadapan macam Tun – mudah-mudahan perjuangan yang belum selesai ini difahami dan dihayati oleh rakyat Malaysia seluruhnya terutama anak-anak muda kita – generasi yang akan mentadbir dan menguruskan negara kita yang tercinta ini.
Janganlah jadi manusia-manusia yang pandai mengucapkan “Syukur” tetapi hanya sebagai permainan bibir sahaja – tanpa menterjemahkannya pada perbuatan dan perlakuan baik-baik – tanda kepatuhan kita pada Allah yang Maha Pencipta dan Mengetahui.
Semoga Tun M dan Tun CT sentiasa dalam Peliharaan Allah.
Terima kasih Tun.
Salam sayang pada Tun berdua
dari kami Ghazali Salali dan Samiah Salali.
tun mm,
why u keep on bringing Lee KY. I know you jealous of him as he achieved economic superpower level unlike malaysia which is running economics like spoilt suckers.
Politically, Lee Kuan yew could be more worse than malaysia’s umno.
Since you dont bring up malays via merit, but keep on creating half bake graduates, so goes malaysia’s economic viability.
You are ignoring quality but emphasizing quantity. your malaysia will never achieve Status negara maju 2020…. This umno’s msia will always be a 3rd world country.
Sayonara ….
haha nice article http://stars.nhb.gov.sg/stars/tmp/lky19650315a.pdf
I LOL’ed at the writer who is implying that malays need more “special” attention especially in education and nutrition.
The writer said….
“And we give free education from school to University to Malays
which we don’t give to our own people, non-Malays. And in this way, even one,
may be two or even three generations, you are going to build up a new generation
of Malays who will be the equals of all the non-Malays.”
One, maybe two or three generations, LOL err, he wasn’t so sure about one. Its just shitting me right now.
He further said….
“And in Singapore, our approach is a long-term one. I don’t believe the
Malay can be helped just by giving him a few more gold coins in his pocket. But
I think it can be helped by better nutrition, better housing and definitely better
education.”
He is stating the obvious. Everyone knows long term is for the win! Everyone except for Mahatair of course.
Maybe its true, if there is meritocracy the Chinese will dominate everything because we are sooooo GOOD! Hell yeah! Lets give our malay brothers some love here guys because they are, according to the writer, 2 to 3 generations behind.
To iljaivolgin2,
Don’t be naive. Malays don’t even have a 30% stake hold in the economy and you want to play on supposedly ‘level’ grounds? The grounds aren’t level, that’s why the Tun is saying that the meritocracy that is being championed isn’t a fair meritocracy.
Sure there are a bunch of Malays that are smart such as yourself, but if you base scholarships just solely on grades and not the person’s background, family income, etc it would defeat the purpose of the scholarship being given. Imagine the scholarships being given to only 10% Malays and 90% other races. Do you think Malays can even get to the 30% economy target?
Please don’t regard yourself so highly as to be so intelligent and up to the point of martyrdom. Talking about WW2 as if you lived during that era.

SEREMBAN: The parents of four teenagers who allegedly splashed red paint and threw liquor bottles on a surau in Taman Pulai Impian, Sikamat, on Monday, today apologised to the surau management committee and Muslims in the country over the incident.
Cheng Kok Foo, 38, Wong Seow Wai, 43, Loh Teck Ai, 53, and Leong Foong Kuen, 53, apologised to the surau management committee chairman, Mohd Hasbi Ismail, at a meeting initiated by the Negeri Sembilan MCA at the surau this morning.
Present were state MCA chairman Datuk Dr Yeow Chai Thiam and Taman Panchor Jaya Umno branch chief, who is also the Sikamat constituency service centre coordinator, Arshad Jawi.
The parents said they apologised to all Muslims in the country, particulary those staying in the housing area, for the action of their children which hurt their feelings.
“We admit that our children have committed a serious offence and we, on behalf of our children, would like to apologise for what they have done. We are sorry and we regret the incident,” they said. — BERNAMA

Apologise? Is that all?
nswamy and others,
don’t make personal comments against Mahathir la. Give your opinion politely. You can use strong words to emphasize your opinion; but stay clear of attacking the man personally. Please let us all be gentlemen and keep comments made in this blog cordial.
Assalammualaikum Tun,
Sesungguhnya yang baik itu dari Allah jua, dan yang burok itu segalanya kesalahan kita.
1. Sesungguhnya meritokrasi itu bukanlah perkara yang berperkauman. Meritokrasi adalah perkara seharian untuk segala perkara bagi segala umat manusia, haiwan dan tumbuhan iaitu bagi segala yang bernyawa. “Evolusi” benda bernyawa di dunia ini adalah dari sifat-sifat yang “fittest will survive”. Kalau tak kerana meritokrasi, dah lama singa atau lipas PUPUS.
2. Dalam sejarah manusia moden yang makin memerlukan kerjasama “masyarakat”, ujud sifat-sifat yang lebih baik daripada sifat kekuatan fizikal yang bolih membuat manusia tertentu untuk lebih “berkuasa” atau dapat menghasilkan sesuatu yang lebih baik, iaitu sifat2 bijaksana, amanah, menyampaikan dan mengiyakan.
3. Seperti segala masyarakat di dunia, masyarakat Melayu juga mengamalkan “adat meritokrasi” sejak dahulu kala di dalam apa juga budaya hariannya. Yang tua, yang ariff, yang kuat, yang rajin, yang tinggi, yang kuat lari, yang mulia, yang pembersih, yang pandai masak nasi minyak, yang pandai ugama, yang pandai mengaji, yang berpengaruh, yang ada pelajaran, yang pandai baca, yang pandai kira dan sebagainya.
4. Tetapi bezanya bangsa Melayu ini, meritokrasi mereka, hampir keselurohannya, adalah dalam konsep gotang-royong dan berkonsepkan “bulat air kerana pembetung, bulat kata kerana muafakat”. Yang mana maksudnya, meritokrasi orang melayu, hampir keselurohannya, bukan atas dasar persaingan. Orang melayu tak pernah memanggil sebutharga jika sebuah titi yang perlu dibina tetapi mereka tau siapa yang terbaik untuk mengadakannya.
5. Ini adalah amat berbeza dengan meritokrasi yang diamalkan Kuan Yew, PAP dan Singapura. Dari segi sosio-budaya, geography serta sejarah MERITOKRASI YANG DI LAUNGKAN OLIH DAP ADALAH BERSIFAT PERKAUMAN KERAS.
(Hard core racism).
6. Pertamanya, kita kena faham bahawa mana-mana bangsa yang besar adalah bangsa yang sangat kecil pada keadaan2 tertentu..(ini adalah suatu tajuk yang lain pula….)
7. Niat Kuan Yew untuk berpolitik adalah kerana dasar perkauman dan bukan untuk keujudan dan kemakmuran kaum pendatang dan bangsa nusantara (pribumi) yang sama-sama berkongsi tanah Singapura yang pada masa itu dibawah jajahan Inggeris.
8. Kuan Yew berpolitik apabila melihat Jepun terlepas hukuman daripada kesalahan membunuh berpuluh ribu orang cina di Singapura. Pada masa yang sama orang cina adalah berkiblatkan, secara politik, kepada Mao Ze Dong atau Chiang Khai Shek. Demi mendapat sokongan majaroti orang cina di Nusantara, Kuan Yew melakukan perbuatan perkauman yang paling hina dengan memaparkan diri sebagai Lee Kuan Yew dan bukan Harry Lee lagi kerana orang berpendidikan cina mempunyai slogan kebencian puak (semacam kebencian perkauman juga) kepada orang cina yang berpendidikan barat iaitu BANANA.
9. Pada masa itu, perkataan meritokrasi atau “Singaporean Singapore” tak pernah ujud dibenak hati Kuan Yews sebab orang cina telah menguasai hampir segala-galanya di Singapura. Selain yang dikuasai olih Inggeris, adalah dibawah monopoli orang-orang cina dan serba-sedikit dipunyai olih saudagar-saudagar timur tengah, india atau nusantara.
10. Bila nak memerdekakan Singapura, Kuan Yew, seperti Inggeris dan kaum cina di Singapura amat takut dengan pengaruh komunis yang didokong olih majoriti daripada kelas bawahan cina di seluroh nusantara. Bahkan di Singapura sendiri penuh dengan komunis atau penyokong komunis.
11. Penyelesaiannya adalah merdeka bersama-sama Sabah dan Sarawak dan bergabung dengan Malaya untuk dijadikan Malaysia yang mana Malaya telah mempunyai perlembagaan negaranya yang seperti apa yang ada pada hari ini.
12. Disinilah si Kuan Yew dan buat perangai.
13. Tanpa menghormati budaya orang melayu dan bumiputera, Sultan dan raja-raja melayu serta perlembagaan Malaysia yang baru sahaja beliau persetujui, dengan sifat tamak perkaumannya, beliau telah melaungkan “Malaysian Malaysia”.
14. Sejarah perjuangan politik Kuan Yew sebelum itu amat tidak ada kena mengena dengan sosio politik dan budaya Semenanjung Tanah Melayu, Sabah dan Sarawak. Ideologi PAP juga bukan untuk faedah mana-mana rakyat di negeri beraja Melayu bahkan untuk rakyat Sabah dan Sarawak jua kerana semuanya amat berbeza dari apa yang berlaku di pulau kecil Singapura sejak zaman Raffles lagi. Tambahan pula perlembagaan Malayalah yang lebih amat bersesuaian di Sabah dan Sarawak maupun di Singapura dan TELAH DIPERSETUJUI.
15. Tetapi dek kerana sifat perkauman keras Kuan Yew, Singapura di TENDANG dari Malaysia dan bukan Singapura keluar dari Malaysia.
16. Bila Kuan Yew dan hilang dari senario NEGARA ini, maka diujudkan serpihan kanan PAP di Malaysia iaitu DAP,
17. DAP menyambung laungan PAP iaitu “Malaysia Malaysia” dan sekarang dilaungkan pula “MERITOKRASI”.
18. Sejarah Malaysia yang penuh dengan yang tersurat dan yang TERSIRAT. SIRATANnya, “MERITOKRASI” yang dilaungkan olih DAP adalah penuh dengan asas dan sifat-sifat PERKAUMAN KERAS.
19. Apakah siratan dasar perkauman keras DAP yang sejajar dengan laungan “MERITOKRASI”nya.
a) DAP percaya yang terbaik di Nusantara ialah cina. Meritokrasi DAP bukan untuk kemakmuran Bangsa Malaysia tetapi untuk meletakkan orang cina di segala posisi yang penting termasuk jawatan pengerusi masjid kerana percaya orang cina lebih baik jadi PENGERUSI daripada bangsa lain.
b) DAP tak pernah mengamalkan meritokrsi dalam mana-mana masa dan tempat kerana setiap posisi yang mana mereka bolih tentukan, mereka akan memberi kepada yang setia sahaja dan bukan yang berkelayakan. Sampai nak boikot acara upacara angkat sumpah Menteri Besar Perak. Walaupun hadir juga akhirnya, tetapi terdahulu dari itu CEC DAP telah melaungkan kepada seluroh orang cina di Malaysia bahawa seluroh ahli DAP, yang majoriti orang cina, tidak mengiktiraf Undang-Undang Tuboh Negeri Perak. ha ha ha
c) Meritokrasi DAP adalah ala PAP, bukan menurut rukunnegara. Bagi DAP, tujuan menghalalkan cara. Cari makan, tak fasih bahasa malaysia, carut marut, kekerasan, sentimen bangsa lain tak penting atau tidak difahami langsung, kesalahan sendiri dijelaskan menurut kefahaman diri sendiri bukan menurut kesefahaman sejagat, sampai isu khutbah ingin dijelaskan sebagai kebebasan bersuara.
d) DAP kata ISA salah kerana hukum tanpa perbicaraan, tetapi DAP menghukum sesiapa sahaja tanpa perbicaraan disepanjang masa termasuk menghukum Lee Lam Thye tanpa perbicaraan. DAP tak percaya ISA tapi PAP percaya ISA selama-lamanya.
e) “Meritokrsi” DAP mengikut suratan, Meritokrasi bangsa malaysia mengikut siratan. Kg Buah Pala hilang kerana suratan DAP. Kg Baru belum hilang kerana siratan bangsa malaysia.
f) Bila ditanya kenapa tak tolong bangsa lain, semasa pakatan memerintah Perak?, jawab mereka UMNO, MIC, PAS dan PKR bolih tolong melayu dengan india. Aik? kata “Malaysian Malaysia”?
20. “MERITOKRASI” yang dijaja olih DAP adalah LAUNGAN PERKAUMAN.

China Chinese and SE Asian Chinese are of different stocks. oNe is much less greedy than the other.
Assalamualikum
Semoga Tun sekeluarga sihat sejahtera
Berdasarkan senario politik sekarang…..saya tertanya-tanya dalam hati. PADA TAHUN 2020 NANTI….ADAKAH NEGARA KITA MALAYSIA BERJAYA MENCAPAI STATUS NEGARA MAJU MENGIKUT ACUAN SENDIRI seperti yang dirancangkan …atau SEDANG BERLAKU PERANG SAUDARA YANG DAHSYAT ANTARA KAUM YANG BEREBUT “KEISTIMEWAAN” DITAHAP KEMUNCAKNYA yang bermula pada hari ini.
Moga Allah jauhkan malapetaka seperti ini.
Tepuk dada tanya selera.
Wasssalam
Selamat Berpuasa
Terima kasih.
salam Tun,
as far as I’m understand meritocracy is nothing to do with racist. Its purely based on merit of any matters that show outstanding, excellent & extra ordinary.
For example, any excellent SPM student shall be given a place in IPTA regardless their race. I believed its will burn the spirit of Malay to strive better for their education.

Dear Tun,
With your permission,
By andrewtayAuthor Profile Page on August 24, 2010 9:59 PM
and
addul_rahimAuthor Profile Page on August 25, 2010 10:30 AM who agreed with him 100%
Andrew Tay,
You actually live up to Mahathir’s label of a “meritocratic racist.
Your statement is reeked with racist slurs and really reflect your deep seated
hatedness of one particular race.
Besides, you pick and choose examples as it suits you in order to feed your
insatiable hatred, even when ( and this is almost laughable) the examples
you cite contradict.
You ACTUALLY admit that Singapore is racist but “it pays off”!!!!. What
language is that? What moral code are you guided? Or you have none to start
with? Is being racist ok if you are Chinese? I’m deeply shaken and surprised by
your claim of moral rectitude.
You actually want democracy Australian style. Fine. I like that. After living
there for a while it is definitely attractive.
But here’s the thing that people like you refuse to see. In Australia,
Chinese or indeed migrants don’t demand for separate schools, separate temples,
Chinese New year holidays. Chinese there do not insist that their children
speak Chinese. I’m quite sure that you want your children to speak English,
send your kids to English schools, accept that your children will be more
Australian than Chinese. The more Australian they are, the better.
Yet in Malaysia, you want the game to be played differently. You insist on
separate schools, you insist on rights to build things Chinese? You demand your
right as a Chinese first and Malaysian second?
I wonder where you get your moral compass? Maybe, you don’t have any?
How dare you pick and choose things as they suit you.
There is a term for people like you: Ingrates! and yes with a capital “I”.
Let me give you a bit of education and trace your roots in Malaya.
Your great grandfather, probably your grandfather came to the Malay States
(Malaya was a British invention and used only after 1900) probably around the
start of 1860s, the time of the tin rush. He probably landed in Singapore,
Penang and then made his way to Perak, Selangor or Negeri Sembilan or Malacca.
He was most probably a country bumpkin, a penniless peasant from the southern
province of China and was duped into going to Malaya by a coolie broker , based
in China. The coolie system, if you insist to know, is also called the “pig
trade” and the coolies (your grandfather) who were transported to the Malay
States were called “pigs”. (Those are not my terms, please read Blythe, William
(1947), Sketch of Chinese Labour in Malaya).
When in Malaya, he was probably part of the Chinese Kongsi. He would also be
labelled as a “sinkheh” and would probably worked his butts off to pay off his
passage from China to the Malay States.
Your greatgrandfather lived in shanty longhouses for Chinese coolies or “rumah
ketchil”. (small houses)
He was probably an opium smoker as Chinese businesses at that time was based
on the sinful activities of “Opium and Gambling”. (Please read history before
you label me).
My point here is your great grandfather came to Malaya, broke, penniless and
without a home. Your great grandfather’s motherland and your ancestral home,
which you at times might feel so proud of, failed him and his family. China,
at that time failed him.
The Malay States (Malaya) was a sanctuary. The Malay States offered him
shelter, a home, stability. He was a much better person in the Malay States
than he was in China because the Malay States provided him with resources.
Malays and Malaya provided your grandfather with wealth. The Malay rulers,
worked with your grandfather’s employer who most probably would be a towkay with
secret societies links.
At that time your greatgrandfather and his boss, just like any new migrants
you see today, looked towards the Malays for tokenism and contracts to work the
mines.
Of course, just like new migrants, they were very nice to Malays. They
acknowledged Malay rule, Malay Sultan and the Malay language.
Here’s a side note: Unlike the orang asli, Melanau, Bajau and if you like, the
Australian Aborigines who had no system of organisation, the Malays had an
administrative system, a system of governance that went back centuries, so long
ago that your greatgrandfather’s China sent an envoy to Malacca in the 13th
century. If you think this is fiction, which people like you most probably will
do, read history books. And if you want to be doubly sure about the facts maybe
you should read those written by “Ang Mohs”.
Now, years after your penniless greatgrandfather had made good his life at the
behest of Malaya and Malay rulers YOU, Andrew, the ungrateful great grandson,
wants to turn the table against the host that has been so kind to your
ancestors.
Worst, YOU will not stop at anything until you become a MASTER of a place that
has been so kind to your ancestors. Have you heard the phrase ” the dog that
bites the hand that feeds it”
There’s one term to describe people like you. I have to repeat this. “INGRATES”.
You are a racist, with a misplaced paranoia of a race that has been so good to
you and your greatgrandfather.
If you really want to know, the Malays never asked, never pleaded that your
greatgrandfather should serve Malaya. There was no knife to his throat asking
him to serve Malaya. He came because he was broke, broken and penniless.
You can say anything about the Malays, but they have served your
greatgrandfather well. And now, they have given YOU a chance to be better. Yet,
you shout and ridicule them.
At least Mahathir is a grateful person, willing to compromise his ancestral
links with that of his so called “adopted race”.
Are you willing to do the same? My guess is, you’d be more willing to be an
Australian, ever willing to sell your soul as a Chinese to meet Australia’s
demands than to be a Malaysian. I’m not in the least surprise. It’s so typical
of people like you.
Andrew, Andrew, Andrew where is your moral compass? At this point, I’m convinced
that you have none or very little of it.
I’m sorry but YOU, Andrew have wafer – thin morality.
I want to call you a “meritocratic racist”, a racist that cloaks behinds the
cover of a beautiful ideology called “meritocracy”.
I wish you well. But please read and reread history before you hurl accusations
and label people a racist.
For your info this is the second time I’m educating you on your ancestral history in Malaya, for somewhere down the line your friends or your politician has been lying to you…:)
Every body,every nations,every leaders has thier own personal agenda,regardless of what good or bad reasons they put up with.
No HUMAN IS SINCERE towards their own personal agenda.
Fill up Malaysia with Singapore malay,Indonesian Malay,Muslims
that are able to built Malaysia.
This is what PAP did,bringing more Chinese from China to fill the strength.
In the 60s
The malay married at early age,breeding 8-12 children per family.
They married early to avoid Zina.
The Chinese married at later age breeding 2-3 children per family.
Hukum Zina does not matters to them.
Yet the populations of Singapore are more Chinese.
Facts proves most are being imported from China and its meritrocracy as named by Lee,The Holeeeman.
So WHAT excactly meritrocracy meant.
Assalamulaikum
Dearest Tun,
1-A brief comment about our Merdeka before I forget -Sir until when are we going to have this Merdeka celebration and why do we want to remember this Merdeka day so much?
2- I thought only the Straits Settlements and the British Borneo were the British colonies. The rest of us were only protectorates of the British because thanks to UMNO Malayan Union didn’t happen am I correct?
3-Ahh I see,so we want to remind the people of UMNO’s contribution towards achieving this freedom so they must vote them into power again and again.
4- No offence Tun but to me it’s the terms negotiated for the independence that’s actually holding the nation back. The what that’s giving Tun the sleepless nights and actually making us not independent anymore.
5- The British themselves were once ruled by the Romans and i truly wonder if they have an independence day to remember this freedom from the Romans?
6- In my opinion its MALAYSIA DAY on 16th Sept that we should be celebrating on a grand scale. If it had not been for Anwar Ibrahim our East Malaysian counterparts would not feel appreciated until today.Najib was only succumbing to pressure.Anwar was only using the issue ?Well that’s politics.
7- To me there is more pride in honoring the day the nation was formed through a merger of two different cultures separated by the South China Sea, rather than a day to remind us that we were once people under bondage.
8- We can’t blame Tun for this insensitivity towards our East Malaysians during his 22 years,he was too busy building the infrastructures and other big things for Malaysia and not least his Langkawi.
9- Pak Lah on the other hand was busy pursuing al Ghazali and Al Shafie but after finding Jeanne he was I guess, even busier.So you can’t blame him too.
10-Jangan mareh Tun nanti kurang pahala puasa. Life is short don’t worry be happy.
Merdeka Tun!
Dear The Hidden Secret,
You are smart, but that is because you are in the group of “other” races that is not either Malay, Chinese or Indian.
For your information there is no “Malay school” in Malaysia, only Chinese and Indian school.
The Malay only goes to national school most of the time.
I’ve grown weary of this, Kit Siang is stoking racism among the Chinese youth, and the impact is the racist bigots that are worse than Malay, Malay is most of the time passive, but if you keep on provoking them what can you really expect?
Salam Tun.
Meritokrasi sering dikaitkan dengan kesamarataan dan keadilan. Benarkah kesamarataan itu adil?
Kesamarataan tidak semestinya adil sekiranya peluang yang sama diberikan antara:
- golongan peniaga dengan pekerja makan gaji.
- golongan kaya dengan si miskin.
- golongan usahawan dengan petani sara diri.
Tiada maknanya sekiranya peluang yang sama diberikan kepada golongan berada sedangkan mereka memiliki lebih pilihan dibandingkan dengan golongan yang sederhana yang tiada pilihan.
Sebagai contoh, kemasukan ke IPTA. Sekiranya anak-anak golongan berpendapatan rendah dan sederhana terpaksa bersaing dengan anak-anak golongan berada semata-mata berdasarkan keputusan peperiksaan. Maka suatu hari nanti, bilangan anak-anak golongan berpendapatan rendah dan sederhana yang berjaya pasti berkurangan. Bolehkah mereka ini bersaing dengan anak-anak golongan berada yang memiliki kelebihan dari aspek pemakanan, tuisyen, bahan rujukan, perhatian keluarga dan kualiti hidup.
Bolehkah anak-anak seorang buruh kasar dapat mengharapkan pemakanan yang terbaik, tuisyen peribadi, bahan rujukan terkini, perhatian khusus dan keselesaan hidup dibandingkan dengan anak golongan kaya?
Jika tidak, mana mungkin meritokrasi itu satu yang adil. Mereka bersaingan secara tidak adil demi memuaskan hati segolongan orang politik yang mempunyai agenda tersembunyi.
Kalau betul kita mahukan suatu yang adil dalam masyarakat. Sistem kuota berdasarkan populasi penduduk sewajarnya dipraktikkan.
Tun
I am flabbergasted that you would write such an article. Perhaps this is the real you and the man whom I admire for certain reason in the past does not exist . The very man who cried once claiming that he failed in uplifting the living standards of the Malay . Not to mention a fatherly figure who scolded that he would rather teach his children how to fish so they could fish for a lifetime rather than feeding them a lifetime giving them fishes.
If we choose to go back to history , the truly bumiputera of our land are the natives – orang asli and not the Malays because they just happen to migrate to our land by a mere 20 to 50 years earlier than other immigrants.If the non Malay ialah pendatang begitu juga dengan orang melayu juga PENDATANG . ! Malaysia is the only country in the whole world who have a positive discrimination policy on the majority !
At times, I would rather be a Malay in Singapore, at least they get help for being less fortunate or a minority where as here I get hindered being a minority. I was not born the son of some Chinese towkay but an average Chinese family. I did not dip my toes on foreign soil and came back with a fancy foreign degree. But merely a product of ‘force’ to be more hardworking and climb the corporate ladder slowly hence a mere senior executive in a MNC and getting my degree from a UK professional body and I am in my thirties. I do stay in a fancy bungalow but in my parents single story house in KL.
I have seen ex Malay classmates being sponsored by government to foreign university although with mediocre results in secondary school not because they were inherently more stupid but conditioned by society to have an more easy going attitude towards life because the government would always provide for you if you know how to find it
Going back to everyday reality, if we truly is to be a one nation then we do have to strive our best not to give in to our sensitivities and truly strive to be 1Malaysia and Wawasan 2020, two grand policy advocated from two great man of our grand land.
NEP should be used on all Malaysian, as long as their quality due to their economic situation.whereby the government should provide help to those based on those who are needy in regardless of their race.
You were the Bapa Kemodenan Malaysia in your prime
You were brilliant and in your own arrogance in a highly admirable way the way you opposed the West when they were being intrusive
Now you merely sound like a character from a classic play such as Corilanus , the one that stroked on the mentality of the working class so that they would be playing out for your own for your own agenda
But a more common thought is on the street, Mahathir is losing his marbles !!!
Such a shame.
A man who I once truly admired for certain traits to one that I do not comprehend at all

CABARAN WAWASAN 2020 : OLEH DR M
=================================
1) Mewujudkan negara Malaysia “BERSATU” yang mempunyai matlamat
yang “DIKONGSI BERSAMA”
@@ Malaysia mesti menjadi sebuah negara yang aman, berkeharmonian, bekerjasama sepenuhnya secara “ADIL” , dan terdiri daripada
“SATU BANGSA MALAYSIA” yang mempunyai kesetiaan politik dan dedikasi kepada negara @@
Persoalan:
* Apakah definisi “KONGSI BERSAMA” dan “BERKERJASAMA DENGAN ADIL” ?
* Apakah ini (menghangat-hangatkan isu berbaur perkauman)
kaedah terbaik untuk mengukuhkan “keharmonian” dan
“keamananan negara ? Tidak bolehkah isu ini diperbincangkan
dari perspektif / peringkat nasionalis demi kebaikan
masyarakat dari umumnya berbanding dengan kepentingan
satu-satu kaum sahaja ?
* Jika Orang Melayu akan ketinggalan melalui meritokrasi,
bagaimana pula dengan bangsa India yang am-nya jauh
ketinggalan ? Bukankah mereka warganegara Malaysia ?
* Siapakah di antara bangsa Melayu yang tidak berdarah
kacukan India/Cina/ Arab/ Orang Putih/ Filipina/
Bumiputera Sabah Sarawak /Indon ? Moyang Dr M sendiri
pun datang dari Kerala, India. Di zaman ini, tiada
Melayu yang betul-betul boleh mengikiskan hakikat bahawa
dalam darah sendiri pun mengalir keturunan “Pendatang”
Setiap titik darah tokoh-tokoh Kemerdekaan, dicemari
orang asing, orang bukan Melayu, penumpang dari luar
Siapakah Melayu yang sebenar ?
*****************
2.Mewujudkan sebuah masyarakat yang “BERJIWA BEBAS”
tenteram dan maju, dengan “KEYAKINAN AKAN KEUPAYAAN
SENDIRI” , berbangga dengan apa yang ada, dengan apa
yang telah dicapai, ” CUKUP GAGAH MENGHADAPI MASALAH”
@@Masyarakat Malaysia ini mesti dapat dikenali melalui usaha mencapai kecemerlangan, amat sedar akan semua potensinya, tidak mengalah kepada sesiapa, dan dihormati oleh rakyat negara lain @@
Persoalan:
* Apakah Dr M “TIDAK YAKIN DENGAN KEUPAYAAN SENDIRI” ?
Daya persaingan , kecenderungan dan kepintaran anak bumi jauh
lebih baik dari yang disangkalkan ramai.
* Apakah Dr mahu mewujudkan kaum yang ” CUKUP GAGAH MENGHADAPI
MASALAH ” ? Apakah bukti ini merupakan pertimbangan yang
terbaik ? Tidakkah strategi lain diambil kira sebelum mengkritik?
*****************
8.Memastikan masyarakat yang “ADIL” dalam bidang ekonomi.
@@ Ini merupakan masyarakat yang melaksanakan pengagihan kekayaan negara secara adil dan saksama, dengan wujudnya perkongsian sepenuhnya bagi setiap rakyat dalam perkembangan ekonomi.@@
Persoalan:
* Adakah kebajikan orang Asli dan peribumi Sabah Sarawak
diambil kira dalam pengagihan kekayaan ? Bukankah mereka
juga orang asal di “Tanah Melayu” ini ?
* Apakah definisi “ADIL” dan ” PERKONGSIAN”
* “HEMPAS TULANG BERISI PERUT”
Rajin bekerja (berusaha) mudah mendapat rezeki.
Jelas Dr M lebih memahami kenyataan ini daripada
orang lain. Masakan tidak , Dr M pun tidak berpeluang
memasuki universiti di negara Singapura “racist”
yang mengamalkan meritokrasi. Betulkah tidak ?
****************
Wahai saudara-saudari, sebelum kita menunding jari,
dan membenci kaum lain marilah kita mengimbas kembali
* Pernahkah keluarga saudara dirawati doktor
dari kaum “pendatang” sehinggakan sembuh ?
Apakah saudara membenci kaum itu ?
* Siapa di antara kita tidak pernah dididik
guru dari kaum yang lain ?
* Tidak pernahkah saudara diberi pertolongan
dari kaum lain, sedangkan kaum sendiri berteluk tubuh ?
* Orang miskin dan berpendapatan rendah terdiri
daripada pelbagai kaum. Bukan hanya segelintir
kumpulan sahaja .
* Perkembangan pesat ekonomi dan kemakmuran negara
hari ini adalah hasil titik peluh moyang kita semua
tidak kira bangsa ataupun agama. Siapakah kita untuk
menilai setakat manakah sumbangan mereka ?
Kesimpulannya, amatlah diharapkan kalau persoalan
meritokrasi dibangkitkan, biarlah adil dan demi
kebaikan negara secara keseluruhannya, bukannya
dari asas pemikiran yang sempit dan agenda yang
terselit, bak kata pepatah ” ada udang di sebalik
batu”
Sampai “bilakah” Wawasan 2020 boleh dikecapi ? Dr M ?
Dr M,
you comment so much on singapore, Can I ask you a question, do you there to filght with singapore ? I doubt so.
I doubt the Malay can be what it’s today in M’sia with the Chineses contribution to the economy.
you want 30% ? I think 3% or 0.3% you may get it without the chineses ….

Japan DPJ powerbroker to bid for PM in party vote
By Chisa Fujioka and Yoko Nishikawa
17. TOKYO (Reuters) – Japanese ruling party powerbroker Ichiro Ozawa said on Thursday he will challenge Prime Minister Naoto Kan in a party leadership vote next month, risking a bitter battle as the government struggles with a surging yen and a slowing economy.
16. Kan, who took over in June as Japan’s fifth prime minister in three years, is fighting for his job after an election loss in July deprived the ruling bloc of a majority in parliament’s upper house, forcing it to seek opposition help to enact bills.
15B. Japan’s ruling Democratic Party former secretary general Ichiro Ozawa delivers a speech at a political seminar in Tokyo August 25, 2010.

15A. Ozawa has blasted Kan for floating the idea of a future sales tax hike right before the upper house election. While Kan has since toned down his calls for debate over the tax, Ozawa’s allies have called for a showdown in the party vote on Sept. 14.
14. Ozawa, who heads the biggest group of lawmakers in the ruling Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ), poses a threat to Kan, although analysts say it is unclear if many would back him given the risk he faces of indictment in a political funding scandal.
13. “I think Ozawa has a 40 percent chance of winning,” said Tomoaki Iwai, a political science professor at Nihon University. “He appears to lack the numbers but he has a lot of support among the local party organisations and members in the regions.”
12. Iwai said that, whether Ozawa won or lost, the party was likely to fracture, but that Kan might emerge stronger if he could engineer a decisive defeat of his rival.
11. POLICY VACUUM
10. Analysts said Ozawa’s candidacy would also create a policy vacuum, clearing the way for market players to push the yen higher against the dollar and threatening further declines in share prices.
9. “The fact that Ozawa has said he’ll run, given the reports that say Hatoyama will back him up, mean that whatever Kan might say about policy, the markets won’t listen,” said Norihiro Fujito, general manager in the investment research and information division at Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities.
8. Ozawa said former Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama, still influential in the party, would back him in the vote, which will decide the prime minister by virtue of the party’s majority in the parliament’s powerful lower house.
7. “Former Prime Minister Hatoyama told me that if I decide to run, he would fully cooperate and support me,” Ozawa, 68, told reporters after an early morning meeting with Hatoyama.
6. But polls show voters are put off by Ozawa’s scandal-tainted image and his history as a wheeler dealer who pulls strings behind the scenes.
5. The challenge by Ozawa, who could be less aggressive than Kan on fiscal reform, comes as Japanese policymakers scramble to talk down the yen , which rose to a fresh 15-year high against the dollar this week.
4. The yen’s strength threatens an export-reliant economy that is already showing signs of moderating.

Dear iljaivolgin2 / solidsnakeckw,
Equality DOESN
Salam Bahagia Tun,
Meritokrasi agaknya sinonim juga dengan ungkapan “Siapa cepat dia dapat (first come first serve) yang memberi gambaran suatu keadaan yang berlumba-lumba dan berebut-rebut.
Jika tidak ada suatu peraturan diwujudkan, maka kesianlah si kura-kura yang kekuatan semulajadinya tidak terletak pada pergerakan yang pantas seperti si Arnab. Maka adilkah meritokrasi secara begini di mana si Arnab akan sentiasa jauh di depan?
Apabila tiba masanya utk menyeberang sungai, maka si Arnab akan memerlukan semangat setiakawan si kura-kura utk membawanya ke seberang sana. Jika tidak si Arnab tidak akan pernah sampai.
Siapa datang dulu dia dapat parking yang paling dekat dengan pintu masuk pejabatnya. Ini lazim kan? Seolah-olah kita perlu berebut tanpa mempunyai sikap yang lebih mulia. Cuba baca jawapan ini:-
“Since we’re here early we’ll have time to walk, don’t you think that whoever gets in late will need a place closer to the door?”
Read more, H E R E
Salam Sejahtera.
Salam Tun
I am very saddened by your view of meritocracy and the Malays.
It’s an ultimate insult to the Malays race. You have assumed that All Malays are incapable to compete with other races. You have assumed that Malays need protection and must be spoon fed forever.
Your post have buried the pride and dignity of every honest and hardworking Malays.
Tun, if you are playing racial politics, I think such strategy is outmoded and doom to fail. Time have changed, Malays are better educated and well informed in this internet age.
Today Malays want to be like any other proud races of this world
Assallammualaikumwarahmatullahiwabarokatuh..
Tun moga sudi mengizinkan..
[[ah_huat]]…
Oh..sorry..
Mr ah_huat
Mister ah_huat..I have no bussiness here defending Tun since he has 2000 minus 20 able moderator to do that job.Your definition galled me..that much showed how “bias” you can be..Pontificating on your own “superior” view and does not mentioned the other part of equation.Tun is established Dr.That is a prominent profession of professional..Just adress him as a doctor..You mind your styles..I will mind mine..
[[For me, a true leader is someone who has the vision that focuses not just on one particular ethnic group in the country but instead nurture the future for everyone. A good leader is someone who knows what the biggest threat the country is facing and directs the people to stave off that threat. A good leader is also someone who is impartial in his ability to promote harmony in the country for as long as possible]]
You did not mention specifically who?..Benjamin Nyetan nyahu? Slobodan Milosevic? Or Genghis Khan??..Mention specific and your opinion will be specifically torn to shred..
[[Mr Mahathir, after all these criticisms you have railed against the present government, many of us feel that you are beginning to sound irrational because your arguments lack logic]]
Pray tell..which one is that?..LABU LCCT? IJN ? THE OIL FIELD CONCESSION TO BRUNEI? JAMBATAN BENGKOK ? ISRAEL ATROCITIES?..Which arguments lack logic but..
YOUR ARGUMENTS IS CONFOUNDINGLY ENGLIGHTENING???
[[You have basically exhausted all forms of good reasoning because you hardly sound convincing to any of us. Some of us think that your poor conduct might be owed to your ever increasing jealousy of the highly successful Mr Lee Kuan Yew, your former nemesis in Singapore]]
Ha..ha..now it’s get clearer..:)..The bone of your contention is Tun lack self esteemed and had to compensate of this drawback by being jealous of the highyly successful Lee Kuan Yew..
Oh.oh brother..this argument will never end..suffice to say..In Malaysia we had this predicament because we lack the quality of “Mr Mahathir” but overwhelming presence of “ah_huat”….:)
Only one of him in 1000 year’s but we can find any ah_huat everywhere that we reside’s..
[[I suppose that reality is always hard to accept let alone swallow]]
Spot on Mister ah_huat!!
[[No matter how you slice it, you must accept the fact that Mr Lee is rightly regarded the Father of Singapore but given your racist attitudes, you can hardly be called the Father of Malaysia. Mr Mahathir, accept the fact that unlike you, Mr Lee continues to be a force of influence to the government of Singapore and he will likely be until the day he dies]]
Now..now..ain’t this ironic Mr ah_huat??Mr Mahathir is independent man..He does not takes order from other’s..Nobody stooges..But sorry to burst your bubble..
Your beloved Lee Kuan Yew must report to CIA sorry I meant American and Israelis representative first of any important decision to be made of Singapore!!..
Now..how do I knew this for sure?..Like you..
I have healthy dose of imgination…:)
[[You also need to tacitly accept that Mr Lee remains intellectually sharp (sharper than you, we think) and immensely popular on the world stage. Mr Lee continues to be an international leader respected by many but unfortunately, try as you may, you are not quite so. Maybe that is why you sought out your popularity in certain African and North African states where some think you are god. That must be good for your ego but Mr Mahathir, it does nothing for your country
Dr Mahathir Sir.. I thought you belong to the BFF group that consists of the late Suharto and the immortal Lee Kuan Yew?
Salam..
Bersyukur…bersyukur…
-Perlukah wujud lg pemimpin seperti Sukarno tetapi di Malaysia?
-Mungkin ramai yang harus baca sejarah apa yang telah dilakukan beliau terhadap bangsa cina /tiong hua di Indonesia sewaktu zaman pemerintahan beliau.
-Dan mungkin ramai harus tahu kesan tersebut kepada bangsa cina di Indonesia sekarang.
Kita harus belajar bersyukur ~
Assalamualaikum Tun.
Buat la apa ke jenis slogan atau dasar pentadbiran,tapi kalau parti memerintah punya PM tak pandai mentadbir,tak guna juga.
Zaid Ibrahim fikir orang Melayu kuat,maka dia sokong meritokrasi.Chua Soi Lek fikir orang cina kuat maka dia sokong meritokrasi.Bukankah itu berfikiran perkauman?
Saya teringat pasal satu dokumentari pasal melelong ikan di satu pusat perikanan.
Orang cina dengan hingar bingarnya memberitahu harga mereka tawarkan secara terbuka.Maknanya pesaing boleh dengar dan lawan harga yang mereka tawarkan.Siapa banyak duit dialah dapat.
Orang Melayu memberitahu harga pada toke dengan cara berbisik.Suasana tenang tak bergolak.Berapa harga yang diterima oleh toke tak kita ketahui.Berapa?
Anda boleh apply perkara ini dalam kehidupan.Ramai orang cina tak kawin-kawin.Buat anak pun tak pernah.Ramai orang Melayu kawin-kawin sampai senang buat anak.
Di sini,kita dapat lihat orang cina terikat dengan duit dan orang Melayu terikat dengan agama.
Kebanyakan Islam luar yang anda lihat pada masa sekarang dan ditohmahkan oleh masyarakat luar adalah sebahagian dari kegelinciran pemikiran manusia itu sendiri kerana kita terdapat 72 cabang,di mana satu cabang sahaja yang tepat.Iaitu Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah
Sudah tentu contoh lelong ikan tadi saya ambil dari masyarakat Malaysia.Corak pentadbiran Melayu yang tenang dan tak bergolak dan sekarang cuba ditentang oleh corak pentadbiran cina yang hingar bingar.
Dan semua orang tahu bahawa sudah lumrah buaya berenang di dasar sungai dan kita tak nampak riak golak air di permukaan.
Samada berapa yang diterima (kejujuran) oleh toke Melayu tadi ditentukan oleh tahap penguasaan Islam dalam diri toke tadi.Dan pastinya Malaysia adalah negara Islam yang mengikut Ahli sunnah Wal Jamaah.
Oleh itu,bagi mereka yang suka mengikut kuliah agama dan tertanya-tanya kenapa perlu kecoh dengan mengikut Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah,maka ini adalah sebabnya.
Orang cina boleh cakap apa saja ilmu yang mereka ada untuk merasa kesenangan,kecantikan,kesihatan atau untuk makan sedap mereka,samada dengan berniaga atau makan vitamin nak bagi anak cerdik.
Tapi orang Melayu berkata ‘buat tapai kena dengan hati yang gembira baru tapai tak masam’.
Terima kasih Tun.
DEAR iljaivolgin2Author
Tertarik dengan kenyataan iljaivolgin2Author seperti berikut:
“I’m sorry but this post does not make any sense. How is meritocracy racist at all? Meritocracy allows those who are most deserving to receive fruits of their labour. I’m malay and I find it SO annoying when other people think that I got a scholarship because of my race (i.e. all malays get scholarships easily, even the less clever ones can get them). Well I got my scholarship because of my achievements, NOT because of my race.”
KEPADA SAUDARA BERKENAAN, ADAKAH ANDA PASTI HANYA BERDASARKAN KEPADA PENCAPAIAN ANDA, SEBENARNYA TELAH MELAYAKKAN ANDA MENDAPAT BIASISWA KERAJAAN???

HAMPIR TIADA LANGSUNG… YANG DAPAT BIASISWA RATA-RATA DARI MUIS (MAJLIS UGAMA ISLAM SINGAPURA DAN BUKAN DARI KERAJAAN SINGAPURA).. SEBAB JUMLAH PELAJAR CINA YANG CEMERLANG LEBIH RAMAI DARI PELAJAR MELAYU. DI UNIVERSITI DI MALAYSIA SEKALIPUN WALAUPUN KEUTAMAAN DIBERIKAN KEPADA BUMIPUTERA, SECARA PURATA BANGSA APAKAH YANG MENDAPAT KEPUTUSAN CEMERLANG DIAKHIR PENGAJIAN??? BANGSA MELAYU ATAU BANGSA CINA??? ADAKAH ANDA YAKIN ANDA BOLEH MENDAPAT BIASISWA JIKA MERITOKRASI BENAR-BENAR DIAMALKAN…
APA SEBAB PERISTIWA 13 MEI 1969 BERLAKU??? SEBAB TIADANYA DASAR MELINDUNGI HAK BUMIPUTERA SEBELUM PERISTIWA ITU BERLAKU… EKONOMI, PENDIDIKAN DAN BANYAK HAL DIMONOPOLI OLEH BANGSA ASING…
JANGANLAH SETELAH MENDAPAT HABUAN ANDA TIDAK BERTERIMA KASIH. TIDAK UBAH SEPERTI ANDA MEMANJAT TANGGA DAN APABILA SAMPAI DIATAS, TANGGA YANG ANDA PANJAT ITU ANDA TENDANG TERAJANG KERANA MERASAKAN TIDAK BERGUNA LAGI. SEDANGKAN TANGGA ITULAH YANG MENYEBABKAN ANDA BERADA PADA KEDUDUKAN SEKARANG INI. JANGANLAH BERSIKAP ANGKUH MENGATAKAN ANDA BIJAK DAN SEBAB ITU LAYAK MENDAPAT BIASISWA… TETAPI HAKIKATNYA ANDA BELUM TENTU BOLEH DAPAT BIASISWA SEPERTI MANA JUGA PELAJAR CINA YANG CEMERLANG DI MALAYSIA; WALAUPUN MEREKA CEMERLANG DALAM AKADEMIK, NAMUN BELUM TENTU BOLEH DAPAT BIASISWA KERAJAAN KERANA QUOTA DAN JUMLAH BIASISWA YANG KERAJAAN MAMPU TAWARKAN.
katakan 3 org (seorg melayu,seorg cina,seorg india) mempunyai kelayakan yg sama kecuali lain2 kaum, pi temuduga utk satu pekerjaan. penemuduga tu sama ada dr melayu/cina/india, jika dia memilih utk mengambil kaum yg sama dgnnya (jika penemuduga tu melayu,dia akan mengambik melayu,jika penemuduga tu cina,dia akan mengambik cina,jika penemuduga tu india,dia akan mengambik india),ada kah itu racist..jika sebaliknya, adakah dia akan di tuduh tidak mengutamakan kaumnya sendiri.
Assalaamualaikuum Tun.
Saya sangat bersetuju sekali dengan pandangan Tun.
Tada perlu yang kita khuatir untuk memberi pandangan.Orang cina perlu faham, Mereka duduk di negara Malaysia di beri kelonggaran dan kebebasan.Kalau lah mereka duduk di negara lain tiada kelonggaran di berikan kepada mereka.
Tun terus kan perjuangan MU.Kami sentiasa menyanjungi MU.
Kita hanya takut kepada ALLAH. Tun may ALLAH bless You, Amiin
Asmkm Ybhg Tun Mahathir
Selamat berpuasa.
Saya lihat Tun sentiasa mahu mengingatkan semua orang di Malaysia akan sejarah Malaysia ini, tambahan pula sempena Hari Merdeka 31- 08. Salah satu pendekatan Tun adalah memperkatakan isu2 yang telah ditimbulkan oleh banyak ahli2 politik, seakan menjurus kepada pembentangan semula Perlembagaan kerana mereka fikir tok nek masing2 dari setiap bangsa Melayu, Cina, India telah buat silap. he…..he……
Sebagai Melayu, saya juga nak tukar Perlembagaan kerana fikir tok nek saya buat silap sedangkan inilah resepi yang semua tok nek Melayu Cina India dah setuju masa tubuh Malaysia dulu. Kenapa, saya juga rasa diri didiskriminasikan dalam bidang ekonomi dan pekerjaan.
Tun memang betul apabila sering memperkatakan hal isu2 kaum. 99% orang diblog ini salah pengertian, apabila menuduh Tun membawa isu perkauman, yang Tun perkatakan adalah isu2 kaum di negara ini dan mesej Tun, bagaimana kita mesti stabilkan harmoni seperti dulu, macam zaman Tun jadi PM selama 22 tahun, masa zaman Tun Razak, zaman Tun Hussien, zaman2 tu la………semua mahu hidup selesa dan bahagia……he…….he………
Eloklah jangan bloggers panggil Tun nama
Salam Ayahnda Tun dan keluarga,Semoga Tuhan pelihara Tun dan keluarga sihat selalu hendaknya…..
Syabas Tun di atas tulisan Tun kali ni….Kami Anak Kedah Tulin sentiasa berdiri di belakang Tun,,,apa jadi pun kami tetap bersama Tun…
Kenapa pulak kita nak takut dgn sesiapa pun di bumi Tanah Melayu ni nak mempertahankan hak Melayu….Jangan jadi negeri je negeri Melayu,tapi segala gala di dalam Negara Melayu ni jadi orang lain punya.
Orang Cina dah lama mempertahankan kaum mereka..Lihat lah disekeliling anda..Kalau kilang tu kilang toke Cina, nak kerja kena tau cakap Cina, tulis Cina, tu pun cuma blih jadi tukang sapu sampah dan cuci jamban, drebar……Kalau ada Melayu buka kedai runcit, tuan pergi le tunggu dan lihat siapa yang beli di kedai Melayu tu, hanya Melayu akan beli di situ…Orang Cina tak akan beli di kedai Melayu..Tetapi bila Cina buka kedai,siapa yang beli ??? Siapa yang perkauman?? Kenapa Cina cuma beli hanya di kedai Cina…Sifat perkaumman mereka memang dasyat dan tak dapat nak di gambarkan.
Kenapa kerajaan kena bagi sama rata di dalam bantuan dan ambil hak orang Melayu dan beri pada kaum lain…Sudah la kaum Cina dah monopoli perniagaan, pelajaran, melebihi 70% dan bantuan yang sepatutnya di berikan kepada kaum yang lemah di pertikaikan. Lihat lah betapa tamaknya kaum ini..
Macam juga Tun, saya juga tahu ramai kaum Cina/India tak akan setuju dengan comments saya ni,,tapi saya peduli apa????
Ni negeri Melayu, dulu Negeri Tanah Melayu, kemudian Malaya dan kini Malaysia, Disini kaum kaum pendatang bebas mencari kekayaan, tapi jangan lah sampai hak kaum Malayu nak di pertikaikan.. Siapa kah orang yang paling kaya di Malaysia, orang kedua paling kaya,orang ketiga paling kaya dan seterus nya orang dari kaum mana??? Kami orang Melayu tak pernah kata apa pun, abis tu kenapa bila orang Melayu nak di beri sedikit je keistimewaan di Tanah Melayu ni nak di pertikaikan,,,Abis tu kalau orang Melayu pergi dan tinggal di Negeri China atau Negeri India, adakah boleh orang Melayu mempertikaikan apa yang di beri oleh kerajaan China kepada orang China atau Kerajaan India kepada orang India??
Tun, kami sokong Tun, kaum2 ini tak akan berpuas hati selagi mereka tidak menjadi Perdana Menteri dan menjadikan Negara ini macam Singapore.. Pada masa tu baru lah Melayu semua nak sedar Negara tercinta telah tergadai dan menagis air mata darah sekali pun tidak ada guna nya…
Tun, saya paham sangat2 apa yang di bimbangi oleh Tun..Harap orang2 Melayu sedar sebelum terlambat…..
Tun, apa pun kami Anak Kedah Tulin 100% meyokong Tun……
Terima kasih , Tun
I’m sorry but this post does not make any sense. How is meritocracy racist at all? Meritocracy allows those who are most deserving to receive fruits of their labour. I’m malay and I find it SO annoying when other people think that I got a scholarship because of my race (i.e. all malays get scholarships easily, even the less clever ones can get them). Well I got my scholarship because of my achievements, NOT because of my race. And I feel that someone who does well should be rewarded, whatever their race. That would surely drive the Malays to work harder, rather than being so complacent because ‘the government will help anyway, so why work hard?’ And of course, by posting this, I will labelled as a betrayer. Just like how german people where labelled ‘race-defilers’ in Nazi germany whenever they disagreed with Hitler or how Russians were labelled ‘anti-people’ whenever they disagreed with Stalin
Sehingga kini, Tun masih lagi dalam perjuangan asal. Walaupun setelah bersara dan mendapat kecaman daripada hampir kesemua orang. Saya bangga, niat asal Tun tak pernah berubah. Hati orang takkan saya tahu, walaupun dengan anugerah Allah sekalipun, takkan saya tahu segala-galanya. Teruskan perjuangan Tun dalam membela nasib masa hadapan orang Melayu, dan untuk kemajuan negara kita Malaysia. Sokongan saya terhadap Tun makin kukuh dengan komen pembaca dan para ahli politik terhadap Tun.
Sebagai sisipan, kepada pembaca blog Tun, saya TAK PERNAH mendapat bantuan secara langsung, baik daripada Tun ataupun daripada kerajaan Melayu sendiri, malah banyak kali DIPERMAINKAN oleh bangsa Melayu sendiri. Tetapi ini tak bermakna saya akan MENGKHIANATI bangsa saya hanya kerana soal DUIT. Saya cuma berharap agar anak cucu saya takkan menjadi bangsa yang menagih simpati DARIPADA bangsa lain pada masa akan datang, dan manusia macam Tun yang banyak memperjuangkan masa hadapan tersebut…..
Salam Tun,
1) Ahli meritocrasi percaya akan “ketahanan hidup berasaskan yang terbaik. Mereka mengambil contoh dari alam semulajadi dan denggan bangga mengishtiharkan ” hanya yang terbaik akan terus hidup “. Ia sama seperti berkata kita adalah species haiwan yang tidak mampu atau terlalu lembab dalam proses evolusi, jadi yang terbaik sajalah yang betul, pemenang akan ragut semua harta. Masaalah teori atau idiologi ini ialah walaupun benar dalam alam natural, kita manusia telah berevolusi jauh dari cara kehidupan liar.
2) Jelas mengapa sekumpulan yang telah mendahului dalam sesuatu pertandingan akan cuba mengekalkan kedudukan mereka, dan ini di lakukan dengan cara menindas persaigan. Meritokrasi ialah satu cara dan alasan yang baik untuk menyekatkan persaingan daripada muncul. Didalam sistem meritokrasi sebilangan kecil kaum melayu dan india akan diterima, dan ini akan dipamerkan sebagai bukti ‘ lihatlah, meritokrasi itu adil ‘, tetapi tolonglah ye, kita manusia terdiri dari bebilang kaum dan kita semua sedar akan hakikat itu.
3) Kita semua akan kekal pada identiti etnik kita melainkan agama, budaya dan warna kulit dihapuskan. Meritokrasi sama sekali tidak ambil peduli hakikat ini, maka ia adalah teori yang salah untuk dipergunakan dalam suasana bebilang kaum dan budaya.
4) Setiap parti politik telah membantu bangsa masing masing dan seluruh negara ini di bina berasaskan kerjasama ini. Hanya segelintir yang berbangsa malaysia, maka meritokrasi harus tunggu sehingga kesemua rakyat malaysia berbangsa malaysia, itupun jika ia berkemungkinan berlaku.
Salam Tun,
Izinkan saya rujuk kepada Reduan D. Oon August 25 2010 5.12 pm. BN kalah 5 negeri dalam PRU 12 bukan kerana peratusan kaum Melayu, China atau Iban. BN kalah disebabkan oleh kelemahan Perdana Menteri dan kerajaan BN pada masa tersebut. PM pada masa itu terlalu egocentric, egoistic dan terlalu mementingkan diri dan tidak prihatin dengan masalah dan beban rakyat. Kesalahan dan dosa yang paling besarnya ialah kenaikan harga minyak dan tol hampir 2 kali ganda 2 bulan sebelum pilihan raya. Ini merupakan beban dan masalah yang paling besar dihumban atas bahu rakyat. Kononnya harga minyak pasaran dunia tinggi. Tetapi rakyat juga tahu bahawa kita pengeluar and pengeksport minyak(bab ini kerajaan diam sahaja seolah hendak sembunyi menunjukkan tidak jujur).
PM ketika itu terlalu taksud dengan mengumpul dana untuk bina koridor di merata tempat. Beliau juga batalkan apa saja projek yang ditinggalkan oleh Tun termasuk melepaskan banduan bahaya yang akhirnya gigit tangannya sendiri. Banduan tersebut dapat rampas 5 negeri dari BN. Janganlah kita salahkan Melayu, India atau Cina. Masalahnya PM yang tidak cekap.
amin tan
Dear Tun Dr M,
I have been participating in your blog consistently for quite some time. However, I feel, on this topic I’d rather not comment much. It is very obvious that you have an agenda in your mind for the future of Malaysia and Malaysians. You would want to spearhead the agenda even at the expense of your image and popularity.
Is what you are going for, good for the nation you have developed and built during your tenure as the Prime Minister for more than 2 decades? I would rather leave it to your wisdom and conscience as I still believe and hope, whatever you are doing is for the good of the country.
Dear Tun,
I’m back..:)

“It is just like a anak yatim who adopted by a family, each time during breakfast, lunch and dinner …. he is warned and teased … “bagi makan then makan saja, jangan persoalkan apa-apa … kalau tak suka, balik saja ke rumah anak yatim” …
Why dont you tell the readers the true scenarios of your script? If I’m not mistaken it goes like this……”Bapak Sekarang Ah Meng dah bekerja dan dengan gaji Ah Meng dapat juga membantu membayar bil ayer dan letrik rumah ini. Jadi Ah Meng rasa, Ah Meng harus duduk di kerusi bapak dan makan makanan yang di hidang untuk bapak dan bapak boleh lah duduk di tempat Ah Meng ini, dan satu lagi bapak…Ah Meng tak selesa lah kongsi bilek dgn si Ahmad tuh dah lah cacat tak bekerja pulak….suruh dia tidur kat reban ayam di belakang rumah tuh aje lah…..Si Ahamd pula berkata dalam hati..” selama ini aku ingatkan kita nih adik beradik”……”
And so the father who do not want to drag the matter further especially during dinner says to Ah Meng “”bagi makan then makan saja, jangan persoalkan apa-apa … kalau tak suka, balik saja ke rumah anak yatim” …
Then again what else is new, distorting the truth and facts are the forte of you and your kind.
Peace Tun and others.
Why did The Queen of England sign the “Pemasyhuran Kemerdekaan 1957″ with DULI-DULI YANG MAHA MULIA RAJA-RAJA MELAYU?
Why didn’t The Queen of England sign it with Tunku Abdul Rahman?
Why didn’t The Queen of England sign it with Tun Tan Cheng Lock?
Why didn’t The Queen of England sign it with Tun Sambanthan?
Why?

To fight racism, maybe we should :-
1. Circulate money to other ethnics/race, not within your ethnic group/race. As such, buy goods and services of other ethnics/race.
2. Hire directors/professionals/managers/executives/employees from other ethnics/race.
3. Give equal pay scale/salary to other ethnics/race.
4. Give equal career advancement opportunity to other ethnics/race.
5. Give equal business opportunity to other ethnics/race.
6. Give equal payment/credit term to other ethnics/race.
7. Give the same selling price to other ethnics/race.
8. Give the same delivery lead time to other ethnics/race.
9. In the event of shortage of supply, deliver to customers based on 1st come 1st serve basis regardless of their ethnics/race.
10. Close all Malay, Chinese and Indian schools. Let us have 1 Malaysia schools for all ethnics/race. Do not listen to opinions on rights to have a Malay or Chinese or Indian schools.
11. Get a boyfriend/girlfriend from other ethnics/race.
12. Encourage interracial/mix marriage between ethnics/race.
13. Give equal opportunity in education, scholarship to other ethnics/race.
14. Have lunch at your workplace together with other ethnics/race if possible EVERYDAY (not once in a blue moon) in the same table.
15. If you are a student, have other ethnics/race in your study/assignment group.
16. Encourage different ethnics/race stay together in a room in boarding schools, hostels, collages, universities.
17. Play football/basketball/other sports with other ethnics/race in a team.
18. Add other ethnics/race in your list of facebook friends.
19. What else?
The above should be applied in private and public sectors.
Regards.
A’kum Tun. Moga dirahmati olehNya selalu.
Obviously there are quite a number of similarities of snobbish mental attitude between Jews and Chinese on diaspora. Their super priority is always and always this ONE super question:
Carlsberg: Is it good for the Jews?
Tai Ku Ching: Is it good for the Chinese?
Don’t think we don’t know. You know we know.
Assalamualaikkum dan salam sejahtera..

Tun; Salam bahagia dan bersua lagi.
Sistem meritokrasi ada kebaikan dan ada 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 melepaskan pucuk masing-masing.
Maka untuk mendapat keadilan samarata bagi semua rakyat Malaysia,
Salam YAB dan diKasihi Tun,
1. Saya juga berpendapat bahawa MERITOKRASI BERSIFAT PERKAUMAN.
2. Ianya bersifat perkauman kerana mereka yang mencadangkannya SEDIA MAKLUM yang mereka akan mendapat segala manafaat secara maksimum sedangkan kaum-kaum yang lain akan lebih jauh ketinggalan. Lagipun, kaum Melayu secara umumnya tidak berkira dan amat baik hati, dan sesiapa juga boleh sewenang-wenangnya mengambil kesempatan di atas kebaikan kaum Melayu.
Dato Sri Najib is too weak. He has to engage the people to formulate the national budget. He should know what is good for the country and the people. Lee Kwan Yew never asked for opinion of the Malays to do anything for Singapore. Non of the Israel Prime Minister ask for Palestinian opinion to do anything. If you do not know how to run the country, just step down.
Salam bahagia Tun.
I must say that from the many comments made here, you would somehow be able to convince the rest of the folks out there that the NEP have failed. Failed for the past 3 decades or so. And that we must now start to look outside the box to find a more practical solution to pull the majority race out of the slumber and hatred that is now so manifested in them.
You can also safely conclude here that the non-bumis are not asking for more for themselves. They are asking for their fellow Malay friends to come out and be competitive on their own and to help to propel the country forward for the betterment of the generations to come.
So Tun, maybe the next posting to come out from you will be “How to propel the country forward together” or “NEP, do we need them actually? Who actually benefit from it?”
I am sure there will be many positive suggestions that are non-racist colored.
Salam bahagia.
Salam Tun,
1. Apa lagi yang mereka mahu , pastinya 100% bumi Malaysia ini.
2. Melayu akan dihalau dari Malaysia.
3. Tiada lagi azan berkumandang.
4. Bangsa yang tak tahu dek untung .
5. Kau pastinya sama saja dengan Zionis ( CinaZionis)
Kalau itu yang akan berlaku , aku akan huru-hara kan bumi Malaysia ini !!!!
Bedebah….
Dear Tun M. We have suspicious of since 1969. Tunku stands vindicated now in suspending your bn membership. Tun hussien lament why he did not choose tunku ku li is now weighing heavily. This current article on derinding meritrocracy completely sets u a million others in the class of pauline hanson, a malay supremist who would sacrifice malaysia at the cost of promoting a decandent policy based politics. Have u read what art harun has written? Go read it. U really ve lost a lot of support of young malaysian who the votebank for nxt general election.in fact if umno goes by this..then rest assured ud destroy bn and nation. Is fasting imparing your sight?old age your mental ability?or is it the karmic accumlation of sins in public wastage driving u to publish this blackness and making your more intelligent supporters withdraw your support. Mmy fondest prayer is you are unable to publish and pervese more minds. This type of thinking has driven more than million msian to settle and flourish abroad a much useful brain power.more will leave…with such perverse help…
Asalamualaikum,
Kami orang melayu bukan hendak kuota bumiputra 30 %. Kami mahu kuota bumiputra 65% mengikut jumah penduduk bumiputra di Malaysia.
Tdak pandai betul perjuangan orang UMNO.
Tun,
I have read about Vision 2020 speech you have made. This is suppose to be a blueprint to where we should be heading in future. This vision applies to all Malaysian living in this country.
Since you had created this vision, we should then follow it. I think what you stated here is not in line with your Vision.
Why should we need Perkasa? Isn’t UMNO enough? The next thing we have is a chinese version of Perkasa or Indian version. Where is that going to lead?
According to you UMNO is mismanaged. If this is true then this is the problem that should be address. How can the welfare of the Malay can be taken care of if UMNO is mismanaged?
Perhaps you should amends the Vision 2020 accordingly indicating where we should be heading in 10 years time.
Literally meritocracy is not rascism. But it can be used subtly as tool for suppression. Meritocracy is merit based on some criteria.
The government should only practice meritocracy if there is one school system, all race based organizations(be it for trade, commerce or culture) banned, one culture, one language. English is allowed as it is International language.
Change back Malaysia to Persekutuan Tanah Melayu to preserve heritage and remind the people of the history and where each one originated.
Pork and liquor banned. Nobody is going to die without these things.
I dont think Chinese are ready for this meritocracy. They want meritocracy as defined by them.
He is a amart man,having a good chemistry among his cabinet.
He thinks ,he make sure what he did is right,and immediately ammend what is wrong.
He is a quiet winner.
He won Singapore.
He learn from Jews that miliatary invasion is hardly to succeeds.
Econmic Invasion proven to him,more effective, as He knows
the malay can never succeed in economy.
He is filling Singapore with more China, to invade Johor,subsequently more part of Johor.
As seen the IDR project has moves much of the malay away from Johor.Capital Land belongs to Singapore has been active in IDR projects.
Today they buy 1 miilion ringgit of land from the malay,will fruit them to be 10 million ringgit later.The malay 1 million ringgit that they have will shrink to 0 riinggit.So on they will sell again their left over land till the malay will have no land.
It happens in Singapore malay land. None is LEFT.
Your choice as to stay undeveloped,inherit your datuk moyang land,
or let them develops seeing your land,your rights being removed.
It is not modernizations,nor materialistcs a measure of success.
It is WHAT YOU WANT IT TO BE.
Mr Mahatir,
Did you read the a comment written by a foreign writer Bryant? i think it’s so good and worth reading….
Dear Mahathir
China is coming up, India is coming up, Vietnam is coming up and now even Russia is on the rise. In this flat but wired world regardless of whether we are Malaysian Malay, Chinese or Indian, if Malaysia fails to progress, all of us will become history of this country.
Without the Malays, Chinese could not do well in the country and without the Chinese, Malays will not do well either. Both have to work together to uplift Malaysia and mitigate the acute impact that is being brought about by globalisation.
For me, a true leader is someone who has the vision that focuses not just on one particular ethnic group in the country but instead nurture the future for everyone. A good leader is someone who knows what the biggest threat the country is facing and directs the people to stave off that threat. A good leader is also someone who is impartial in his ability to promote harmony in the country for as long as possible.
UMNO is a political loser leading the country to nowhere. They do not have the capacity or unction to understand what is going on in the outside world. They have no serious idea where Malaysia will be in the next 30 years. With the emergence of the three new superpowers, India, China and Russia, standing tall and alongside the USA and the European Union, UMNO knows nothing of the kind of world it will shape up to be and how Malaysia may or may not be able to share let alone compete for the ever diminishing slice of cake of the world economy.
UMNO only knows how to get the Malays to fight with other non-Malays on insignificant issues within Malaysia, while in the meantime everyone knows all too well that these issues are oftentimes trivial, self-destructive and merely self-serving.
UMNO has no genuine interests in learning how their impoverished Malays will go on living in the future and they have no welfare concern as to what benefits them. UMNO
The Chinese have forgotten how they got the citizenship and will never be grateful. Read the following article.
http://www.ask.com/wiki/Anti-Malay_racism
They Chinese will insult the Malays again like 13 May, when they think they have the advantage. Meritocracy is their disguise for racism.
They have done in SIngapore and they have done in Penang and they will continue displacing the Malays everywhere they go in Malaysia. Malays just have to fight for survival in Malaysia. We do not want to be like Palestinian or SIngapore Malays.
Fight we will. Meritocracy or not.
Good Evening Tun,
I used to very respect you since I grow up, whatever you said in your PM time I will strongly think that you are RIGHT, example you said Singapore “steal” the water away from M’sia, Singapore air force invade M’sia airspace blah blah… I really think you are really good PM. You make M’sia become developed country, you build KLIA, KLCC, Putrajaya, Cyberjaya, Commonwealth Games 98, Sepang F1 and a lot of mega project I suddenly cannot recall.
But after I came to Singapore I realize a lot of things told or done by you simply seem like lies or junks, these projects waste money and doesn’t really benefit M’sia people and Singapore is not a place you always told us. It is good, peace, efficient, low crime and low corruption government. Singapore Malays are not isolated by the government. (ask Johor’s Malay, they can prove this) The government never bully them and treat them equally.
And please stop spreading this negative article. You simply make the M’sia situation worse than before.
BERAPA LAMA KAH 65% PERATUS PENDUDUK MELAYU DI MALAYSIA BOLEH BERTAHAN?
1) Setiap hari, ikut static angka kematian kemalangan, majoriti melayu mati kerana accident motor/kereta.
2)Sekarang nie setelah 53 tahun Malaysia mencapai kemerdekaan…ada bangsa cina tak faham bahasa melayu dan tak reti cakap melayu… saya sendiri garu kepala dan terfikir, adakah mereka nie cina malaysia atau cina diimport… saya dah tempuh pekara nie byk kali… kita boleh jumpa orang-orang nie di kawasan pekan, majoritinya penduduk cina, mereka2 ni duduk di dalam rumah kedai, mcm menyorok… bangsa dari negara lain pon ramai juga dari myanmar, vietnam, combodia..dia orang nie semua di bela oleh org cina, majoriti di pekan…
Saya berharap sangat Kerajaan Malaysia , menyiasat pekara nie…
bawa tentera2 kita geledah di semua rumah kedai di kawasan cina…
adalah merbahaya sekiranya kita membiarkan pekara nie berlaku… jangan terlambat…
Tun M, maybe we should ask our children to stop reading text book, ignore exams, sack all the teachers, or best, close all schools, colleges, university, etc. No KPI in government, public or private sectors. Just promote whoever we like without referring to merit, like you, Tun. I think, this should be a great plan to stop meritocracy racism.
Tun,
I once felt sad when you decided to step down as Prime Minister.
Now I am pretty grateful that you were no longer a Prime Minister and there is a glimmer of hope for a better Malaysia.
Poch,
Tun did not say anything or calling anyone racially, he was just explaining based on his experiences about meritocracy, and about Lee contested against the MCA, it was actually what was happening.
We know what the Singaporean government did to help their Malay, and nobody ever denies that. It was just that it is completely different than Lim Kit Siang in Malaysia. We have doubts and fear when it comes to him, for example when you see cases like Surau being attack, there is only one sentence of condemnation but when it was Church, he goes on about it for 2 weeks.
Kit Siang in his book mention of how he was discriminated by the Anglo-British when he was studying in the UK, but Lee Kuan Yew mention of how hospitable their treatment were towards him.
You cant blame the old leaders for having this fear, because they had lived and gone through the bitter past of history where people of different races kill each other, even the innocent one.
The British during their era knew that if the Malay and Chinese were united, they could be in trouble and so they designed this policy where Malay benefits from the constitutions, and the Chinese were left with the economy and amazingly enough what they think 100 years ago can affect us even today – that is just how smart the British is, but again, not every British is bad, even during the colonization there are British who supported the independent of Malaya.
and of course, dont blame me for having the fear as well, I had bad experienced before, and if did not manage to escape, wont even be writing here.
Selamat berbuka.
Artikel menarik Tun, semoga umat Islam khususnya melayu bermuhasabah dalam bulan Ramadhan dan kemerdekaan yang semakin tidak dirasakan hambar memberi keinsafan pada mereka.. Saya setuju pandangan Ridhuan oon bahawa tiada jalan mudah untuk berjaya dan tiada tempat bagi yang malas, itu sudah semakin dirasai kini
Racism is alive and kicking. The Malaysian has been taught about racism since their tender age. So, we shouldn
tun,
when i read back some of this so call “liberal-not racist” comments makes me wonder, malaysian do have a lot of hypocrites!
by then, these people which i call hippo(thick skin animal) have an astute ego-imaginary life which i am afraid could ignite catastrophe.
these small minority head is high after many malay would rather give their votes to DAP last election. for reason we all know why.
but then, i think our system has been to pleasing for others to be more taking comfortables as we know nothing greed is never enough.
they are clearly not considerate to majority of malaysian peace.
they would clearly declare to taken all the economy wealth and move to another country. which i read so many times with prove of freinds which has been doing so. sorry to say, are malays required only to be soldiers and policemen guarding the country while they went for lavishness?
well so be it, malaysian are with you tun!
these people plain just being racist themselves.
traitor i might say?
indeed you were right, we are still guided society!
or new edge con-man which relates to this articles
http://theunspinners.blogspot.com/2010/08/perang-psyop-musuh-untuk-ambilalih-msia.html
I must comment on this and I hope this gets published.
Meritocracy? The hell no. Why? The economic situation based on race in Malaysia is grossly inbalanced. Number of bumis is not 65%, Redhuan Oon. It is far more than that, at more than 70%.
Who to blame? Of course shouldn’t point fingers. That’s not professional. However, divide and rule British colonials did contribute significantly. And the scums in the government administration as well as PAS and PKR did some damages as well.
Without meritocracy, Chinese control most of the wealth. Without government scholarships, the ratio of students overseas is 7:1 against non-Chinese. Private institutions have mostly Chinese private students. Private sector scholarhips (non-GLCs) – since they are predominantly ‘Chinese owned’ or ‘Chinese run’ companies – the scholarship winners are mostly Chinese.
Chinese own most of the businesses, own majority of the properties in Malaysia, estates, food industry, factories, etc. That is with DEB. A Malay gained (in terms of wealth), means more Chinese gains. In construction sector for example, Malays who benefited from DEB will transfer some of the works to Chinese firms. Most of them earned by % of the profit margin or less.
The NEP or meritocracy will make the situation worse for Malays. DEB ‘failure’ being the excuse, Chinese people will say that subsidies will not help the Malays but actually make them worse whilst violating the equality rule. Bollocks.
We are not talking subsidies per se here. If the implementation and execution system is good, there is no subsidies for nothing. Only able and credential Bumi individuals or Bumi companies will be granted, who are competent and qualified. The term subsidies should be replaced with distribution of wealth or opportunities.
We are relatively young country for God’s sake.
Truth is, a high number of Chinese are greedy and selfish by DNA. Only religious or coutured ones are not. If they are majority in any European countries, the Europeans may probably treat them worse. The only difference is the Europeans are relatively better off in terms of wealth or education as compared to the European born Chinese there. But we have seen in some other countries like Australia, the level of racism against Chinese is quite high, in certain areas.
The more we pay attention to their demands, the more they will ask for more and step on our heads. Just ignore and follow the Federal Constitution. Fair for all, as per legal. Most Malays sweat for their earnings anyway. We all have to study hard, work hard, etc.
Hey, there are so many wealthy Chinese, so many Chinese students/ scholars, so many successful Chinese businessmen, etc etc.
Can’t you lot stop for a while and count your blessings??
Even the underpriviledged groups in Sabah and Sarawak, who are classified as Bumi, been there for many generations.. are not making so much noise!! So are some of the poor Indians and other ethnic minorities.
Don’t know what to say. So kiasu lot, Chinese are. Good and bad. Bad if you start taking the rights of others and being so selfish. Good because you get all your worldly things.
And so stupid of the Malays in PAS and PKR who like to undermine other Malays whilst undermining themselves in the process.
Crap!
At the rate the kiasu lot is going, the risk of instability in Malaysia is great. At some stage there is a possibility that majority poor (if unchecked) will retaliate. We don’t want to be like South Africa or Indonesia.
May God bless us all in this holy month of Ramadhan.
A rhetoric burst of frustrations from a failed politician who have failed his own people and trying to sabotage another race that he has adopted. Maybe he is the mole to destroy the malay race – KGB style.
Dear Tun,
The Malay minds have been confused and being manipulated by irresponsible Malay leaders from the opposition who are more concerned to control the govt. by whatever means to the extent that they can even accept “kena main bontot”. Good luck Melayu !!! Dah bodoh stupid, dah pandai jadi sombong bodoh !!
matanahair : Before you start accusing mahathir on being a racist please understand the definition or Melayu in the constitution and then compare with there other races. Then you will understand that when we talk about malay it is far away from being a racist. Malay is a tool for assimilating all other race into one as malays is not determine by blood but based on a set of merit that is religion,language,custom. In no circumstances that a malay is bound by blood.1 malaysia supposed to be based on the definition of malay. 1 religion, 1 language and 1 custom . Najib should understand this and to all the other races that trying to imply that malay and racist.. go fly kite
so be it..indeed we are racist..we borned racist…so melayu dont be so defensive…not in the state of denial…but we malay are very tolerate races…bear in mind we dont give you a dammm!!!
Salam Tun,
Sini saya nak cadangakan satu perkara. Mungkin pelik kut atau tak masuk akai (orang kedah kata)! Apa kata Tun menganjurkan satu ekspidisi ke Palestin dalam siri bantuan Kemanusiaan Perdana(bukannya misi membantu Umat Islam, tapi Kemanusiaan)yang di sertai oleh semua kepala-kepala parti politik yang berada dalam Malaya ni. BN- DSN, PAS – DSNAZ, DAP- LKS, PKR- DSAI, MIC- SVEL, MCA-CSL dan sebagainya lagi.
Baik kerajaan , baik pembangkang, baik orang-orang pandai NGO ni lah yang akan menyertai Konvoi ni. Wajibkan semua pemimpin-pemimpin politik ini berada dalam satu konvoi kemanusiaan dan menghulurkan sendiri bantuan kepada penduduk-penduduk di Palestin khususnya Gaza. Biaq mereka ni tengok betapa susahnya hidup rakyat Palestin, betapa daifnya hidup mereka, betapa susahnya apabila tidak bersatu sebagai sebuah negara. Biaq pemimpin-pemimpin ni tak mandi dua tiga hari, biaq mereka ni bau betapa busuknya kalau jamban tak dak (maaf bahasa), betapa panasnya kalau tak dak bumbung,betapa susahnya kalau tak dak sekolah bagi anak-anak belajaq, betapa susahnya kalau tak bersatu hati, betapa susahnya itu dan ini.
Misi ini boleh diketuai oleh sesiapa saja melainkan pemimpin politik. Saya cadangkan Tun jadi Leader dalam ” humanitarian expedition ” ni. Tidak ada wakil pemimpin melainkan pemimpin itu sendiri kena pergi. Wakil-wakil tidak di terima. Rakyat nak tengok boleh ka depa semua ni kita boleh percayai sebab masing-masing ada hebatnya. Ingat, Kepimpinan Melalui Teladan (Slogan Tun tu).
Rakyat Malaysia berbilang bangsa ni nak lihat kehebatan pemimpin-pemimpin mereka. Ada pemimpin yang suka kata semua orang salah, dia seorang saja yang betui (jangan kata pulak tak boleh pergi ke Gaza, nanti sakit belakang, takut slip disk (tapi kalau ceramah, berdiri berjam-jam okay pun!!!), Ada pempimpin yang canang kata nak tolong semua bangsa, samarata habis tu kenapa soal Palestin senyap, mana misinya (mungkin ini memberi juga saya percaya dapat membentuk sifat Khalifah yang diperkatakan oleh seorang pemimpim di sebuah negeri belah utara)?.
Bagi mereka ini mungkin membuka lebih banyak ” massage parlour” lebih baik dan untung dari memberi bantuan kemanusiaan?!! Tunjukkan kepada dunia bahawa pemimpin Malaysia ni baik kerajaan, baik pembangkang boleh bersatu dan belajaq dari apa yang berlaku di dunia lain. Yang penting ialah untuk memakmurkan Malaysia dan rakyat jelata supaya Malaysia ni jadi satu negara yang bukan calang-calang orang tengok.
Maaf kalau bahasa saya bahasa Utara. Tapi saya rasa kalau jadilah ekspidisi ni, rakyat akan lihat sendiri tingkah laku pemimpin-pemimpin depa. Walaupun ada penyokong-penyokong yang masih taksub dengan kata-kata yang boleh membingitkan telinga, biar lah. Tak rugi pun. Bukannya lama. Apa pendapat Tun?
Salam juga kepada Tok Puan dan keluarga.
Saya tafsir pula komen saya tadi ke dalam alam Melayu. 65% dari rakyat Malaysia adalah bumiputera dan tidak sepatutnya kalah dalam mana-mana pilihanraya umum. Tetapi BN kalah teruk pada PRU12 yang lalu. Ia bukanlah sebab meritokrasi atau undi bukan Melayu yang minoriti. Ia adalah berpunca dari undi majoriti sendiri iaitu orang Melayu jua. Mereka sudah tidak percaya lagi kepada pemerintah dan dasar mereka. Maka mengapa disalahkan golongan bukan Melayu dan dasar meritokrasi mereka?
Bukankah Tun Dr. Mahathir lahir dalam zaman yang tidak Umno dan tidak merdeka? Tiada subsidi dan tiada juga kuota membantu. Dalam tahun 30an dan 40an, Mahathir berkerja keras sehingga dapat memasuki NUS di Singapura. Bukankah ayah Dr. Mahathir juga berjaya tidak kerana perjuangan Umno? Ayahnya menjadi guru besar pertama dari pribumi tempatan di Kedah disebabkan merit sendiri. Mereka beranak ini memang kerja kuat. Memang ada visi.
Maka tidak usahlah hentam dan kutuk mereka yang inginkan perubahan dan meritokrasi. Tiada cara lain untuk kita maju. Memang tidak ada tempat bagi mereka yang malas dan mengharapkan kuota dan subsidi semata-mata.
Jika tidak Malaysia akan hancur alamatnya.

PendAtang Dengan Izin
Dear All Malaysians,
I am really impressed that at the slightest feeling that their special position is challenged, all derogatory names will come flying out. Pendatang la, dog la (by a certain principal), and now bastard by a fellow commentor on this blog. I guess they must really be feeling the heat of being (borrowing the name of a show) ‘the biggest loser’ in the country despite given special tongkat, wheelchair etc for 50 yrs.
Not to mention the real threat of using brute (barbaric) force to threaten the other races. Well good luck Tourism Malaysia.
Well that aside, if you are still reading, allow me to bring you through a journey of time, back to Malaya and Singapore of the 60′s.
Well, I guess back then ppl were much more simpler and more importantly our starting point with Singapore are more or less equal regardless of race. The Chinese & Indians were so called the economic kings while our fellow Malay counterpart were languishing behind. You get the drift.
Fast forward 50 yrs, how have these changed? Assuming that the Chinese and Indian remained status quo (which is not, the Indians suffered the worst in Malaysia among the 3 races no thanks to our Toll King) and comparing apple with apple, how had the Malays fared under ‘tongkat’ policy and meritocracy?
Malaysian Malays
1) Still forming the majority of the labour forces and minimum wage workers
2) Still living in kampungs?
3) Literacy (& education?) % of English and Malay not much to shout about
4) Still owned the least of the economic pie
5) Majority of races
6) Low standard of living
7) Majority of Government
Singaporean Malays
1) Still form the majority of the labour forces and minimum wage workers (however earn more than the Malaysian counterpart)
2) Living in HDBs which have PROPER sanitary, PROPER park facilities not to mention one of the world’s best public transportation and facilities for the aged
3) Literacy (& education) not among the majority in Singapore but significantly better than the Malaysian counterparts
4) Still owned the least of the economic pie
5) Minority of races
6) Good standard of living
7) Minority of Government
Well who do you guys from Perkasa, UMNO etc think are living a better lifestyle? If you think its the Malaysians well ain’t it part of the duty of Muslim brotherhood to save your fellows? Send a missionary to Singapore i say, offer them Malaysian citizenship and special tongkats and save them. What? They don’t want? I really wonder why.
Enough of the above lets move on the next topic, a topic of bread & butter. Dear Tun, I would like to know your opinion, how important are the FDI’s to our beloved country? Well that’s quite a silly quest ain’t it? its like asking a bizmen how important are your customers to you. I don’t know anything bout politics or Art of War by Sun Tzu but if your customers are running away from you what will you do? And if they say because of the NEP they find your place of biz not a conducive place for investment what will you do?
Well the UMNO putras and Perkasa can alwiz say screw them investors we Malay Malaysia are self sustainable!! we can alwiz suck from Felda, Khazanah & Petronas!! btw who said Petronas bred multi racial
competition? Well perhaps the sorry bloke does not know that Petronas have a 70% BUMI requirement before they deal with you (locally). Its an open secret.
Business-wise. You guys need to pay installment while we can pay full sum eh? well sir can you answer me, in our Boleh-land, who have the easiest and bountiful access to biz & sme loans? When our ‘Master’ says I want to do business!! thousands of banks (SME, Agro, UMNO, Felda) will come sprawling to give you loans. But the question is why are they saying they are not successful still? “Blame the pendatangs” they say or “Blame the dogs”. We are dying here but y are the ‘bastards’ making noise? Afterall they toed the line for 50 yrs, whats another 50 yrs?
If this was your child who is failing school for 5 yrs, will you wait another 5 yrs before taking action? If this was your child who is sick for 5 yrs, will you wait 5 yrs more before taking action?
Well if stats are to be bliv, there aren’t any 50 more yrs, Malaysia can be bankrupt by 2019. Yet the attitude is, “tak ape la, Malaysia Boleh! Kita sama sama guna tongkat sampai 2020!!”
A year ago, brain drain was a major concern for the government. Well the answer is, will you be a 2nd class citizen for Ringgit or US Dollar, Pounds who does not threaten to lock us up with ISA when we try to fight for our rights and respects us? Maybe you should be happy as well. We are afterall living up to wat you ‘Masters’ say: “We are but just pendatangs, here to cari makan. tak dpt makan? kita pergi luar makan”
What we are doing is really for the better good of Malaysia. If we look too ultra certain race then talk about it and don’t hide behind the racial card. 50 yrs together but when want to talk about bread & butter issues, parangs & keris all come out, like a spoiled brat. It have covered your vision to see that we are on the same boat, with you as the captain. if the boat sinks, ALL of us will sink.
After all that was said and done, lets jz hope that when the boat do sinks in 2019, don’t only blame us. Have a dignity of a captain and shoulder the responsibility too.
Another piece of crap from you , Tun!
Always blaming & abusing others but yourself.
Time for serious self reflections.
The Hidden Secrets: Important words in important documents… “TANAH MELAYU” and “RAJA-RAJA MELAYU”.
Tanah Melayu is a translation of the word, Malaya, that was coined by the British. There was no persekutuan before the British came to the peninsular and the term was not coined by Allah:
Semua manusia berasal dari Adam dan Hawa, tidak ada (bangsa) Arab yang lebih mulia dari (bangsa) bukan Arab atau (bangsa) bukan Arab lebih mulia dari (bangsa) Arab; juga tidak ada yang (berkulit) putih lebih mulia dari yang (berkulit) hitam atau yang (berkulit) hitam lebih mulia dari (berkulit) putih) Ketahuilah bahawa setiap Muslim adalah saudara kepada Muslim yang lain. Kamu semua adalah sama; tidak seorang pun yang lebih mulia dari yang lainnya kecuali dalam Taqwa dan beramal saleh.
It is interesting to see how the slogan, “Malaysian Malaysia”, can be twisted to imply a racialistic sentiment while Ketuanan Melayu is not! Insyaallah, justice shall prevail.
Some of you here must have forgotten some facts. By right BN cannot lose because Malays are the majority of this country. Statistics claimed that bumis made up of 65% of the population. Why then did the majority lost? The democracy that defines our election results are not determined by meritocracy but the will of he majority. The lost of 5 states to the alliance of PAS-PKR-DAP is not because of their meritocratic rhetoric.
Bear in mind that Mahathir himself came up due not to Umno because Umno was not around in the 30s and early 40s when Mahathir made it to NUS, Singapore. Mahathir existed during the British era. Is not that a cruel era? Is not the Malays not in control. Yet our dear Mahathir could come up and not only that, his father came up as the first Malay headmaster in an English defined school. It was due not to colonial constraints around him. It was due to his hardworking and visionary nature.
We are complaining that such a nature does not exist anymore among the powerful elite. They get by with scandals and corruption. Even murder. So why support such groups? If we attack them, it is just that. We love justice and truth. That does not make us meritocrats (of which Mahathir is a shining example) racists. Look objectively at what is our complain. Do not carpet bomb everyone away.
Malaysia is falling behind. It must grow, the corrupt must go.

i kinda agree with chrix25. chinese can success in doing their businesses without need to denying special rights for malays. Here some advice for malays,learn how to do business properly. learn and practice all the good quality from your chinese boss. Jangan terlalu cepat berpuas hati dgn makan gaji. NEP hanya membuktikan bahawa org melayu masih lemah dan perlu dibantu. Sy berharap org melayu tidak terlalu selesa dgn NEP dan berusaha memajukan bangsa melayu.
Dear Tun,
Forgive me if i am considered rude. You are truly a statesman whom we all respect. However lately your involvement in perkasa and the statements made about race, inevitable leads you to be labelled as a racist. Many believe that this whole issue of racism is being created as a “political ploy” for fear of losing the Malay support, which seems divided between Umno, PKR and Pas and to hang on to power. But at what expense Tun. We have lived peacefully so long and is it worth the while to stir racial sentiments. Can Malaysia afford another May 13th whatever maybe the justification. The present leadership under Najib is doing a good job. I believe they should be given time. I am sure that BN will continue to rule this country for some time to come. Lets all live in peace in the interim. I am sure if more is done to curb corruption and improve the delivery system, it will be back to the glorious days.
Its a sign of desperation on the part of Mahathir and the BN.
Why should the Malays have such inferiority complex that they will not be as good as any other race when measured by meritocratic means. You have Zahid, Khairy, and even examples like Nasir. There are a lot of talented Malays in this country that can stand up to any competition.
Protecting Malays when they are weak is right. The unhappiness of people is that this is use as an excuse often to denied other races they rights. Chinese and Indians leaders at independence knew they have to help the Malays. But when they earlier tolerance and kindly spirit is repaid with every increasing arrogance each passing year then you can see their disgust with present BN leaders and so-call NGOs clearly stage-managed by UMNO.
As a leader please preach peace and unity and not add poison into the populace. I have friends from many races and at personal level I find my Malay friends to be the most likeable.
Incidentally it is moot point whether the PAP renegrade on their promise not to contest in Malaya. Could it be UMNO was the first to betray their trust when they contest in Singapore
Dear Tun,
With respect.
Your current writing seems heading the wrong direction which is against your Vision 2020. My apology, I am strongly suggest you sir to get back on track as with such writing above you will destroy your vision which you dreamt off.
Dear readers,
Please go to below web page and read this excellent article written by Art Harun. It is actually will be eye opener for some.

Important words in important documents… “TANAH MELAYU” and “RAJA-RAJA MELAYU”.
This document named as “Perjanjian TANAH MELAYU”, were signed by RAJA-RAJA MELAYU, to form a federation named “Persekutuan TANAH MELAYU”
Excerpts from “Pemasyhuran Kemerdekaan 1957″ :-
“Dan bahawasanya kerana dengan perjanjian yang disebut namanya Perjanjian TANAH MELAYU tahun 1957 yang diperbuat antara Duli Yang Maha Mulia Baginda Queen dengan DULI-DULI YANG MAHA MULIA RAJA-RAJA MELAYU, maka, telah dipersetujui bahawa NEGERI-NEGERI MELAYU, iaitu Johor, Pahang, Negeri Sembilan, Selangor, Kedah, Perlis, Kelantan, Terengganu, dan Perak serta negeri yang dahulunya dinamakan Negeri Selat, iaitu Melaka dan Pulau Pinang, mulai 31 hari bulan Ogos tahun 1957, hendaklah menjadi sebuah Persekutuan baharu bagi negeri-negeri yang bernama Persekutuan TANAH MELAYU.”
“Dan bahawasanya kerana Duli Yang Maha Mulia Baginda Queen, DULI-DULI YANG MAHA MULIA RAJA-RAJA, Parlimen Negeri United Kingdom dan Majlis-Majlis Undangan Persekutuan dan Negeri-Negeri Melayu telah meluluskannya, Perjanjian Persekutuan TANAH MELAYU tahun 1957 itu berjalan kuat kuasanya.”
“Maka, dengan nama Allah yang Maha Pemurah lagi Maha Mengasihani, saya Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra ibni Almarhum Sultan Abdul Hamid Halim Shah, Perdana Menteri bagi Persekutuan TANAH MELAYU, dengan persetujuan dan perkenan DULI-DULI YANG MAHA MULIA RAJA-RAJA NEGERI-NEGERI MELAYU dengan ini memasyhurkan dan mengisytiharkan bagi pihak umat Persekutuan TANAH MELAYU bahawa mulai Tiga Puluh Satu hari bulan Ogos Tahun Seribu Sembilan Ratus Lima Puluh Tujuh, maka Persekutuan Tanah Melayu yang mengandungi Negeri Johor, Pahang, Negeri Sembilan, Selangor, Kedah, Perlis, Kelantan, Terengganu, Perak, Melaka dan Pulau Pinang dengan limpah rahmat Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala akan kekal menjadi sebuah negara yang merdeka dan berdaulat serta berdasarkan kebebasan dan keadilan dan sentiasa menjaga dan mengutamakan kesejahteraan dan kesentosaan rakyatnya dan mengekalkan keamanan antara segala bangsa.”

RAJA-RAJA MELAYU gave their approval to form the federation and the parliament.
An excerpt from the Federation of Malaya Independence Act 1957 :-
“Subject to the provisions of this section, the approval of Parliament is hereby given to the conclusion between Her Majesty and the RULERS OF THE MALAY STATES of such agreement as appears to Her Majesty to be expedient for the establishment of the Federation of Malaya as an independent sovereign country within the Commonwealth.”

Hi Tun,
I am the new generation of malaysian. I studied in an international college. My China Chinese friends once told me that no matter what and where i was born im always China Chinese. The moment i heard this i felt very angry and this is what i replied to them ” True enough im from chinese root. But im not China Chinese. Im born in Malaysia. Im a Malaysian. Nothing else other than that.” To me, if people keep thinking of themselves as Chinese, Indian, Malays or whatsoever i dare to say Malaysia will never grow. Because we always think about our own races and being selfish. We have to think for our country. When our country grows then only we, the Malaysian can grow. We cant grow on our own. We grow by working together as one as what my elders told me ” You can break a choptick easily, but then try to break 1 bunch of chopstick” When we have been occupied by Japanese, we work together to drive them away. Then we work together to gain our independence. Now, how many of us really think for the sake of our country?
I will never forget the ikrar i recite in primary and scondary school. Never because i love my country, i love Malaysia.
I’M A MALAYSIAN!!!!
MAKA KAMI, rakyat Malaysia, berikrar akan menumpukan seluruh tenaga dan usaha kami untuk mencapai cita-cita tersebut berdasarkan atas prinsip-prinsip yang berikut :
* KEPERCAYAAN KEPADA TUHAN
* KESETIAAN KEPADA RAJA DAN NEGARA
* KELUHURAN PERLEMBAGAAN
* KEDAULATAN UNDANG-UNDANG
* KESOPANAN DAN KESUSILAAN
Tun you still don’t get it. Malaysians are tired of mismanagement, corruption , what we are seeing happening in courts with political cases. Police taking sides.
You can spin this to be a race or religion issue but with the internet semau dah bongkar dah from PKFZ to MAS scandal.
I think we need to give another strong message for the next GE.
Race base politics are no longer a concern for Malaysians.
Reducing subsidy for rakyat but not from Cornie company.
FDI merosot , Corruption by fat cats not being prosecuted because they got connection to powerful politician.
Sampai sekarang MAS and PKFZ tak selesai.
A very well written artichoke. Tun, please keep it going. The chinese will do whatever within their means and power to keep the Malays weak economically and politically. Malays are the last to be given the opportunity in businesses, employments etc.
Most Malays do not know the history, especially the history of Singapore. Most 99% of Malaysian does not know that Singapore was expelled not Singapore asked for independence. Lee cyan yew wanted Malaysia to be a Chinese dominant country.
Malays should learn from what happened to Singapore. LKY speak fluent Malay, preached in malay, took care of the Malays, won their hearts and finally umno lost in even Malay dominated areas in singapore back then. When tit is all done, LKY and the Chinese showed their true colour and pushed the Malays aside. The Malays are not allowed to hold high ranks in military and limit their role in politics. Worst thing is LKY managed to brain wash the minds of the Malays in Singapore to be proud to be pupated by the Chinese. The Singapore Malays has become very compliant and proud to be victimized.
That is what Lim Guan Eng was trying to emulate. He received advise from Lee khan yew.
History is repeating itself…..
I hope the government could combat massive corruption so that UMNO is looked up high upon once again
Terlebih dahulu saya ucapkan Selamat berpuasa dan Selamat menyambut hari raya kepada Tun M dan Tun Siti.
Tumpang lalu Tun!
Siapa yang racist?
Adakah kaum yang memperjuangkan sekolah vernakular dengan lembaga pengarahnya sendiri atau sistem sekolah yang menyediakan peluang kepada semua bangsa (sekolah kebangsaan)
Atau syarikat yang mendiskriminasi pengambilan pekerja dengan menjadikan syarat bertutur atau menulis Mandrin sebagai syarat layak wajib.
Bagaimana pula dengan blogger Nutgraph yang merungut dan mengadu tentang bacaan sembahyang terawih di masjid Petaling Jaya yang dikatakan menganggu. Lupakah dia dengan pesta hantu (ghost festival) opera China awam sepanjang minggu dan juga pembakaran colok dan setanggi gergasi sepanjang yang merosak alam sekitar?
Blogger Nutgraph ini juga merungut kerana sekolah tidak membenarkan makanan tidak halal dibawa ke sekolah sebagai satu usaha untuk menghalang kebebasan.
Kaum yang merungut tentang diskaun bumiputera untuk hartanah, kaum ini sendiri tidak akan membeli unit hartanah di lokasi suey/sial lantaran itulah diberi potongan harga kepada bumi- sama ada dekat kumbahan, cawangan letrik atau menghadap fengshui yang membawa malang.
Mana kejujuran perjuangan meritpcracy kamu, semuanya hanya tarian wayang kulit (shadow play)!
Assalamulaikum
Dearest Tun
1-I agree with Jeffrey Suresh Abdullah’s comment about our small jalur gemilang.When you were the boss I was very patriotic and will always buy one to have it on my car.Heck,I actually even have the big Jalur gemilang flying at my house!
2-Then the dreaded day for Malaysia came,Pak Lah took over and this time I refused to put it up although I got a few for free .I noticed that I was not alone.There really was way much less as compared before.
3-So it seems at PRU12 BN lost it’s 2/3 majority and 5 mostly powerful states!
4-I don’t think I will be interested to fly the flag this year too.And I can see that I am not alone again.So Tun I think Jeffrey is spot on to say that generally Malaysians have not really bought Najib either.
5-So Najib, call for the PRU13 only when you see the flags are flying again .Start by doing something they can actually believe.Be warned of two things,one- don’t take the voters for fools and two-you are running out of time.
6-Otherwise its gonna be hello meritocracy and Malaysia doomed for a Failed State as panicky Malays with the help of PERKASA run riot!
7-That’s why Tun is having sleepless nights.
Meritocracy should not be taken as a racist term. Racist has been looked as a negative element in our country. In fact everyone is racist of their own race. So to say meritocracy is racist is not right. In my opinion merit system will bring out the best in all people by not depending too much on the government aid.
Why the chinese are successful and the malays are not ? it’s because of their hard work, the chinese employ the indians and malay to do their work and they get money….they are smart businessman. Who can blame them to be rich ? No one. It’s up to the malays and indians to work hard and smart to be successful. Fine, now the malays have NEP to help them…what about indians? They dont have anything!!! they are not rich and no plans to upgrade them. But still now there are a few of indian business man/woman are coming up coz they are sick and tired of working for other people and in the end they get peanuts…
So I’m not denying the special rights of malays, no one can. The special rights is yours so we dont want anything from the special rights. I dont understand why chinese wants to lower the bumi percentage even though they are holding the economy! sometimes i feel the chinese are too much also by asking too many things. I understand why malays are upset and a lot of bickering about this is happening.
Why cant the certain chinese leaders forget about the bumi percentage and get on to what they do the best…business like usual. Why you need the goverment to spoon feed you also? Already the government is doing for their own people, so let it be. If you grab their spoon, of course they will be upset…they may eat you up!!!
Keep on working hard and prove that meritocracy wins in the end and not spoon feeding method. This is for the indians also, dont think your job is going to be safe. Already indians r not being respected in this country, dont do worse…work hard and smart to build your economy like the chinese…bickering among each other doesnt solve anything…get to the ground and work. In this country we have to work hard and smart to get things, dont wait for incentives or any political promises…it doesnt work in past and it wont in future.
Be one malaysia and stop this racial comments by all parties….lets live as one BANGSA MALAYSIA, that is what i learn in my schooling times.
Assalamualaikum,
Marilah kita semua anak MELAYU ISLAM meneliti dan mengamati bagaimana halusnya jarum musuh kita. Lihatlah mereka memperkenalkan meritokrasi, demokrasi dan berbagai-bagai istilah yang begitu indah dan cantik sekali didengar tetapi amat buruk kesannya kepada kita nanti. Adakah sesuai dengan amalan ISLAM yang lemah dibiarkan mati kelaparan dan biarkan yang kuat bermaharajalela? Adakah adil jika minoriti memerintah majoriti?
Lihatlah bagaimana pengeluaran makanan untuk orang ISLAM dimonopoli orang kafir atas dasar meritokrasi, maka dicampuk aduk segala yang najis dan haram ke dalam makanan kita semua, maka jadilah kita buta mata hati untuk melihat kebenaran.
Lihatlah bagaimana PAS tunduk kepada tuntutan DAP agar tidak memperkenalkan hukum HUDUD jika mereka berkuasa, apakah semua orang PAS ini bacul atau mereka semua hanya mempermainkan ISLAM untuk meraih kuasa. Apakah kita masih sanggup menyokong mereka ini?
Lihatlah bagaimana kaum Cina Malaysia begitu kagum dengan Lee Kuan Yew dan Singapura. Tiadakah mereka ini semangat cintakan Negara? Saya cadangkan agar Najib menjadi PM kuku besi seperti Lee Kuan Yew, nescaya Malaysia boleh cemerlang dan lebih makmur dari Singapura, jangan takut kepada kaum Cina ataupun puak-puak PAS ini. Jika mereka melawan tangkap dan kenakan tahanan ISA, jika memberontak atau tunjuk perasaan…tembak ajer. Bila mereka semua ini tiada tentulah aman makmur Malaysia tercinta ini.
Lihatlah bagaimana pengorbanan dan tolak ansur kaum Melayu dibalas dengan cacian dan penghinaan. Adakah kaum Cina ini satu bangsa yang baik hati, sanggup membantu dimasa kita kesusahan. Jika adapun bantuan pasti akan perlu dibayar dengan harga yang tinggi kemudiannya seperti yang dihadapi oleh nelayan dan petani. Mereka ini dijadikan seperti hamba kerana mereka susah. Pernahkah kita merasa terpanggil untuk membela nasib mereka ini yang menjadi kuli ditanah air sendiri?
Lihatlah bagaimana kuatnya persatuan kaum Cina memperjuangkan nasib bangsa mereka. Alangkah malangnya nasib Bangsa Melayu kerana pemimpinnya gila kuasa menolak kesatuan Bangsa Melayu. Biarlah Melayu ini berpecah belah asalkan mereka boleh jadi ketua. Inilah penyakit yang amat parah bagi Bangsa Melayu, jika ini berjaya diubati maka tiada masalah untuk Melayu menghadapi apa jua cabaran dan rintangan kehidupan ini.
If preaching equality is racist?
Then encouraging ethnic, background and social as definition to
education is ULTRA-RACIST.
If during your colourful leadership, which so-called helm 22years of NEP and 22-years of proper management of UMNO.
Why? Yet,you still fine Malaysian still lack of competitiveness
and still bogged down by lack of education.
Meritrocrats is good that, dreamers can wake-up from the crutch loving dreams that was created by politicians to squeeze more votes.
If were Malaysia lead in way as your thinking, the Malaysia we will sees is Village Hero Nation only.
Salam Tun and all readers,
Below is the excerpt from truthseeker’s comment.
I am a lecturer at one of the IPTAs. I have previously served in a private university affiliated to a political party. I can vouch that the comment below is absolutely true, in general.
Chinese schools and a chinese-based college are excellent in producing students who can be a good ‘photocopier,’ to borrow the term used by Prof. Emiritus Khoo Kay Khim. They did excellently in any test that requires them to demonstrate lower level cognitive skils. They are good at memorizing notes and reproduce them in the exam answers – word for word including any typo or simple grammatical errors found in the lecturers’ notes!!
In general, they do badly in questions requiring them to show higher cognitive levels. They are weak at critical thinking and analysis. In general, they are not that good afterall. Many had string of As in STPM when they enter IPTA but very2 few actually get to earn respectable CGPA upon completion of their degree programme.
As for the Malays, language is the biggest obstacle. They have some capability to think critically but English profiency hinders them from being good at it. They have lack of confidence and ‘malu tak bertempat!’
So, I support truhseeker’s conclusion that there is no real sense of meritocracy at all. Why bother?
——————-
“My friend, a lecturer at one of the IPTA gave an exam, a subjective one that requires thinking (maybe at the application, analysis or evaluation level)and guess what, he said all the chinese students did badly…maybe because they are good in memorizing (at knowing and understanding level only)only.”
Salam Tun,
Absoultely not, meritocracy is not racist.
Meritocracy is a just system that rewards individual based on ability and achievement.
It does not rewards based on colour, creed and religion of that individual.
I read some of the comments above with so much pain in my heart.
How has people become so angry?
They talk about how they have been tolerant of the chinese and all.
What did the chinese do, really?
Those words were spoken because you felt threatened.
And by being threatened, the next reaction is naturally anger.
And anger sponsors hatred and in worse cases, violence.
Why are you threatened?
The government and its people are protected by law.
And everything that happens is within the boundary of the law.
Nobody is stealing anything from anyone.
Those who prospered made it from their own hard work and commitment.
Those who didn’t may need to sit back and evaluate their efforts.
Those who made it through illegal means IRREGARDLESS OF YOUR RACE needs to be punished.
It’s that simple.
So again, what are you complaining against?
If a political party fails, that is simply because they have lost the confidence of the people. End of story.
What has it got to do with race?
Ayahanda Tun,
As usual, thestar reported views and news on input on budget for 1 Malaysia, the micro-economic output activities.
1. PM Najib Wednesday August 25, 2010
PM: Give input on budget
2. PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has invited Malaysians to give their input for the Budget 2011.
3. The Prime Miniter
Tun,
Yes, so be it. We can never ever get along. SO BE IT…
Dear Tun,
Please hold on to this topic for a longer period by giving opportunity for the whole rakyat to comment and reflect about the seriousness of this subject. Lets hear what ordinary people will have to say. Say what they like. Please translate this topic in Bahasa Malaysia as well.
I really want to know the mind of the rakyat on this topic.
As far as I am concerned those elite few people including the politicians whether from govt. or oppositions who subtly continue to harp on racial sentiment must be dumped under ISA. We can’t afford to waste our energy to be concerned about race issue practically everyday. The culprits are the editors of all mainstream media and bloggers. The constitution is there for reference which stipulates clearly the rights of all races with the Malays having special rights.Period. Don’t beat round the bush continuously challenge the constitution if we want to live peacefully. It won’t do any good because at the end of the day things will become out of hand and something will explode that could cause heavy losses not only to the wealth of the nation but more importantly the damage done to the unity of the rakyat. To develop trust and respect for each other will have to start from scratch again and this time around it will be much tougher.
How is meritocracy bad?
By putting someone with the right skill and ability to lead the country we are then in a better position to prosper.
The malays have long been protected by the government. How has that changed their social standing? Yes, many has benefitted from it, but the majority of the population is still backward simply because they took advantage of the system and became complacent.
The chinese on the other hand prospered further inspite of the disadvantages (or lack of additional advantages) posed to them, simply because they had to rise above what is normally expected of them.
The truth is this.
Spoon feeding a person, a race or a community can only do harm and nothing good. By putting someone in the most difficult situation will they learn how to stand on their own two feet and take on the world.
Tun, for the sake of the Malays, let them go.
Let history speaks for itself and be the first to see how independence within an individual brings forth development the same way we fought for independence for Malaysia.
You have outdid yourself this time and your true colors are showing through. So meritocracy is not to be practiced then if you have your way. OK, I wonder how you would have felt if you were rejected to study as a doctor at the University of Malaya in Singapore during your time just because of your race? You have studied hard and proven that you are smart enough to study medicine but is told to take a hike because meritocracy is a joke. I guarantee you will be jumping up and down screaming bloody racist to everybody.
You are indeed a best example of a pot calling the kettle black.
Sir,
What can I say?
Let the man speak for himself.

Salam hormat buat Tun.
In my opinion, the Malays should have by now open up their big eyes. Wake up man. The new generation of immigrant’s decendants have spoken out their discreet interest to pursue their long awaited enthusiasm over control of the country economically and politically through doctrine theory of meritocracy.
Meritocracy is definitely racist especially to call for such in Malaysia’s circumtances where the Malays/Bumiputeras are still lagging behind in terms of education and economy. I agree totally with Tun that this matter arises out of our weak and mismanagement of our country by non other than the sleepy head.
Our Malay leaderships are easily swayed especially if confronted by skilled personal character of a polisher. Unlike the Malays/Bumiputeras whom are subject to religious demarcation, the Chinese resorts to all kind of tactics to lure the attention of anybody in power. They are not restricted to use whatever means available.,cash money, beautiful women, provide luxury cars to visiting VVIPs, sending boxes of dried fish to homes of VVIPs and sponsors in functions to name a few. Of course this is not free because the chinese guys have their goals to strike..political positions or multimillion projects.
The situation is distressful. With this trend ongoing, the 30% equity would never be realized.
Dear Tun
Malays forget easily, that what you said.Whether we like it or not it is true.50 years ago what malay possessed living on their own land. Chinese and British were hand in hand scouping the wealth of this country for almost 100 years. They were provided aminities since they were in living in towns to advance themselve. What the malays had during that times, no school, no electricity, no hospital, no treated water supply, no road. We were starting to get those aminities only 25 years ago. You think you can train an engineer or doctor within 2 days.Not only not getting amenities, this poor country at that time had to face the savage of communist, significant amount of budget was diverted to fight the communist. Then who were the communist?. It was a well known fact that DAP and Gerakan parade that caused riot that led to 13 may. In towns you created riots and in jungle you were firing bullets. God gave a good dream to Tunku before the riot, that in the dream he was chased by a large group of big black rats. However Tunku was poor and bias in interpreting the dream, thinking the rats were Dr Mahathir. Dr Mahathir only one person, singular, rats are plural. Malays or bumiputras have to be redeemed for the lost time. After scouping the wealth of the country for so long and creating trouble to the country, now they are calling malay should not be helped, even 7 % discount should be abolished, to me this is the menifestation of sheer ungrateful attitude. This kind of “trouble brains” are still prevalling in DAP.
Tun
By posting this latest article of yours and if you still think you are not racist but in the eyes of many, indeed you are. Under your watch, you have had pushed hard to roll out your many bumi-policies which are geared favourably towards one race. Under that guise, it is meant to improve the living & education standard of one particular race but after so many years, how much improvement have been made? You did shed tears lamenting the sorry state of the race despite all your efforts to improve their lives, was it not a good indication that you failed to deliver?
DAP in Malaysia or for that matter, PAP in Singapore, these are no doubt Chinese run parties in their own country and just because they are advocating ‘Malaysian Malaysia’ based on meritocracy, it is in your own eye, racism…period!
Dear Tun,
Nowdays people like to put themself same level with animal but using the sound good slogan or jsutification.Meritocracy is similar to Jungle Law, the strong animal eat the weak animal or even human…
Heh…heh…if I support Meritocracy im not racist but is I support NEP i will be consider racist….That normal…..We know that In private sectors 95% contract go to non Bumi, their top management control by Nonbumi except production operators,cleaner, guard and other similar to that level. But have other race complain?? Have Kit Siang shouting to chinese companies to make sure at least 10%(not talking about 30%) of their contract goes to other race. Have Kit Siang plead that chinese companies to increase the other race in their management team. So when in public sector is domain by Malay than than DAP should understand why this happen….I fully agreed if Public sector must take non Malays 50% in top management and some goes to private sector 50& must be Malay in Top management. 50% of government contract should be given to non-malay and same goes to private sector 50% should be given to Malay….So I beleive Kit Siang can help to propose in parliment about this and persuade all private sector to adhere to this rule….Than this is reall Malaysia for Malaysian….oopps and don’t forget to ask all chinese parents to send their children to National School…Or Kit Siang must fight that government must open Malay School since now we don’t have Malay School only India and chinese school…So we must let all race have their own type of school….cos this is call Malaysia for Malaysia.
So in this life not all what we want we can get…must give and take, considerate, what most important is to expend the economic cake and all can share…better to have 70% of 10kg cake rather than 95% of 3kg cake.Malay must accept that other race also belong and have right in Malaysian and Chinese also must behave and think like a citizen of Malaysia. Even Bangla,Nepal and China chinese can speak Bahasa Malaysia much better than Malaysian Chinese….
Have Kit siang told all chinese to speak in National langguage when out of home?? Have Kit Siang himself put priority in National Language. But DAP will come out with Malaysian for Malaysia….Or in actual is Malaysian in DAP way
Salam Ayahanda Tun,
Setuju dan menyokong penuh perjuangan ini.
Salam kasih dan salam hormat Ayahanda Tun.
The Malays have been made near desperados and pushed to a cross roads by Abdullah Badawi, Khairy Jamalludin and the likes of Kalimullah Hassan bunch. I may seriously not be voting UMNO in the next election. I view UMNO as a misguided bunch of self denials living in corners of survivals (sorry boss man), hanging on to a power that is not there anymore. Long gone supernovas. I would certainly not be voting the oppositions either. They have no clear agenda and they seems to forget that history has shown mankind, the next bunch who swipe power from any autocratic previous bunch, may in the end be butchered by their own people and renegading dreams; Japan, Romania, Indonesia, Thailand, The Balkans, The Reichstag Germany, Modern day Germany, Poland, and so many more.
Expectations, strength of mind, force of spirits, lethal aspirations are deadly political cocktail mixes in the hands of novice and amateurs.
Grabbing power is one thing; making power work for you is entirely a very different scenario all together. Your political mind must be sharp and perceptive to make that shrewd role switch/transition from noisy opposition into calm compose administrators at the raucous behest of another noisier angrier opposition and also at the behest of a hungry and restless national populations. Now can they pull all this off with no hiccups? You think the ship is strong enough to weather this storm out? I say they should only go on board with several life jackets. Not to mention, in Malaysia our Raja-Raja Melayu is the real deal. They are not pompous William, pretentious Harry along with lost and confused Charles parading Camilla around waiting for ole Corgi lady to kick the sky bucket for promotions; they are not The Rainier
My dearest Tun
I think as long as you are still around, Malaysia will never progress, Malaysia will never have peace. No one in UMNO, including PM can handle you.
Thank you

Tun,
Saya tidak pasti tulisan Tun ini dibaca oleh orang saperti Hadi Awang, Mat Sabu, TGNA atau pemimpim UMNO yang lain. Pemimpin PKR saperti Anwar Ibrahim tak usah dok ambil kira sangat sebab dia akan buat apa saja asalkan dia berkuatkuasa untuk membalas dendam. Sebenarnya perpaduan Melayu mula pecah semenjak PAS ditubuhkan. Bermula dengan perjuangan menentang UMNO berkerjasama dengan kaum lain dan kemudian isu UMNO kafir dan hari ini perjuangan PAS hanya untuk ke Putrajaya dan sanggup mengadai maruah kepentingan Melayu sehingga sanggup bersekongkol dengan DAP.
2. Pemimpin PAS patut sedar mereka sedang menulis sejarah yang satu hari nanti orang Melayu akan kencing atas kubor mereka kerana menjual maruah dan kepentingan Melayu. Semasa PAS jadi MB di Perak, atas tekanan DAP telah meluluskan berapa banyak tanah tol kepada geran kekal 999 tahun. Ini satu contoh yang baik. Mereka akan janji apa saja dengan DAP untuk sokongan supaya PAS dapat bertapak di putrajaya.
3. Golongan nasionalis Melayu harus bangun supaya nasi tidak jadi bubor.Perkasa dibawah Ibrahim Ali patut digerakan secara lebih meluas dan dapatkan sokongan golongan muda. Pemuda UMNO dibawah KJ terlalu lesu kerana dia ada agenda tersendiri untuk jadi PM juga.Najib cuba memenangi kaum Cina dan India dengan agenda 1Malaysia yang sudah tentu melesukan perjuangan UMNO.
4. Ibrahim Ali akan jadi wira sebenarnya sekiranya PERKASA dapat digembelingkan sepenuhnya untuk menarik sokongan nasionalis Melayu saperti Dato Onn Jaafar menyemarakan semangat orang Melayu dan menubuh UMNO.
5. Masa terlalu singkat menjelang PR13. Pakatan Rakyat dibawah PAS, PKR dan DAP akan mengembangkan sayap ke Negeri-negeri selatan kecuali johor. Negeri.negeri perak, Pulau Pinang, Kedah akan terus dikuasai mereka. Saingan hebat untuk berkuasa di serawak, sabah mungkin memberi lebihan kepada Barisan nasional. Teranggau akan jatuh semula kepada PAS dan bagitu juga kelatan kekal dibawah PAS. Hanya pahang dan johor selamat sebagai kubu kuat Barisan.
6. Faktor utama yang boleh membawa kejayaan Pakatan Rakyat adalah pengundi berumor 40 tahun kebawah yang terpengaruh dengan manifesto PAS dan ada sikap benci atau anti-establishment. Mereka lupa kepada sejarah dan percaya secara membuta tuli dengan pendedahan kepada ceramah-ceramah PAS dalam internet.Pengundi Cina dan india akan berpihak kepda DAP dalam kawasan majoriti cina dan ini melemahkan MCA dan gerakan..
7.Najib sekarang kena fokus kepada PR13. Perangi dakyah PAS, DAP dan PKR dengan agenda politik yang dapat menyakinkan orang melayu bahawa masa depan Melayu akan tergadai sekiranya Pakatan Rakyat berkuasa.
8. UMNO telah banyak berjasa kepada Negara ini dan telah membawa kemajuan dan permodenan kepada orang Melayu. Lihat sahaja video clip keadaan orang Melayu ditahun limapulohan dan enam pulohan berbanding keadaan orang melayu sekarang.Lihat rencana mengenai perjuangan Tun Razak dalam national Geographic yang sedang ditunjukan sekarang. Bagaimana Tun Razak berusaha dengan gigih untuk memodenkan orang Melayu.
9. Saya nak cabar pepimpin PAS kalau dapat ditunjukan satu video clip kejayaan mereka selama 50 tahun yang lepas. Apa yang saya nampak adalah pembohongan dan kita nista kepada UMNO untuk menarik undi Melayu dan membawa perpecahan.
10. Memang tidak dapat dinafikan ada salah tadbir oleh UMNO sehingga negara rugi berbillion tetapi ramai juga yang telah dipenjarakan kerana kesalahan tersebut. Kerajaan dah berazam untuk basmi rasuah dengan penubuhan SPRM. Kita sokong sahaja. Jangan dok putar belit untuk nak kuasa dah sanggup gadai maruah dan kepentingan Melayu.
11. Anwar ibrahim dak kaya dah. Dia, isteri dan anak dah layak dapat pencen jadi ahli dewan Rakyat. Ramai lagi orang Melayu kais pagi makan pagi dan petang tak dapat kais kerana hujan lebat maka petang tak dapat minum teh dan malam tak dapat makan malam. Harta Melayu masih kecil. Berapa bangunan milik Melayu dalam bandar.Pemimpin PAS semua dah ok dari segi ekonomi kerana setiap ceramah dapat duit dengan mengedarkan tong Fi Sabililah. Pengikut yang datang dengar ceramah tu belum tentu ada makan minum untuk anak yang ditinggalkan dirumah, sebab tu ramai orang Melayu dikampong sekarang ini terlibat dengan gejala sosial saperti dadah kerana orang-orang dewasa sibuk nak perpolitik dan nak dengar ceramah.
12. Saya seru pemimpin PAS dan UMNO supaya kembali kepada perpaduan demi masa depan Melayu kerana bangsa kita diasak kirikanan,depan belakang dan jangan sampai kita dak tak ada tempat nak lari. Dulu kita marah Penjajah kerana ambil tanah buat estet dan orang melayu hanya dapat tanah dipinggir estet. Bila FELDA dah buka tanah untuk buat estet untuk orang Melayu, sekarang ini PAS dok masuk buat hasutan supaya orang FELDA membenci kerajaan. Tak usah lah dok kacau FELDA. Itu satu institusi terunggul didunia yang dimiliki oleh orang Melayu. Asal peneroka dulu miskin. sekarang mereka dah miliki harta sampai nilai berjuta.
13. Mengapa kita boleh buat FELDA ?. Kerana kita ada kuasa politik yang solid. UMNO terajui Kerajaan Perikatan. Suara PAS hanya melangau dalam Parlimen sahaja pada masa itu. Sekarang ini Kerajaan nak buat apa pun dah tak boleh kerana komponen lain dalam Barisan buat bising terpengaruh dengan DAP. Kalau Melayu bersatu melalui perpaduan UMNO dengan PAS, Kerajaan akan kuat dan boleh laksanakan Peruntukan 153, keistemewaan orang melayu saperti yang ada dalam dalam Perlembagaan negara. Apa yang Kerajaan buat untuk orang Melayu adalah selaras dengan tafsiran peruntukan istemewa melindungan kepentingan orang Melayu.
14. Tun Razak, PM yang berjaya mentafsirkan peruntukan keistemewaan orang Melayu saperti yang dibenarkan oleh pelrlembagaan dengan memperkenalkan DEB, menubuhkan pelbagai agensi amanah Melayu yang masih aktif sampai hari ini. Tun Razak berupaya melakukannya kerana PAS bersama dalam Barisan Nasional. Ini satu contoh terbaik dan Dato Asri Muda menduduki Kabinet sebagai Menteri tanah dan pembangunan wilayah dimana FELDA dibawahnya. Dia angkut ramai juga orang PAS jadi peneroka sampai hari.
15. Najib patut fokus kepada kerjasama dengan PAS. lupakan PKR kerana ianya serpihan UMNO yang tidak ada akr umbi cuma tunggu hari untuk tumbang. PAS ada pengaruh kuat dikampong di negeri-negeri Melayu majoriti dan saimbang sokongan dengan UMNO.
16. Najib harus bersihkan UMNO dari gejala yang membuatkan orang benci.Publisiti murahan setengah pemimpin UMNO harus dihentikan. UMNO harus digerakan sebagai organisasi melayu yang menyeru kepada perpaduan umah dan membela hak dan kepentingan melayu saperti yang diperuntukan dalam Perlembagaan. Kaidah turun padang harus lebih berhemah tanpa menampakan pemimpin UMNO kaya dan bongkak saperti pernah ditonjolkan oleh Pemuda UMNO suatu masa dulu.
17. PAS harus kembali kepada perjuangan asal yang dirintis oleh oleh pemimpin-pemimpin awal yang berusaha menegakan syiar islam dan memperjuangkan hak orang melayu. PAS harus sedar tanpa perpaduan, islam akan hancur. Palestin hancur kerana orang arab perpecah dan hari ini mereka dipecahkan lagi antara HAMAS dengan ALFatah. musoh mereka suka mereka perpecah dan memberi peluang untuk mereka hentam habis-habisan. DAP suka PAS kuat sebagai saingan kepada UMNO. Dia akhirnya boleh pileh nak berpakat dengan siapa.Orang Cina akan sokong DAP kerana ada affiliation dengan PAP di Singapura dari segi semangat perjuangan. MCA dan Gerakan akan hancur dan terus berkubor. Oleh kerana DAP menolak agenda hudud PAS, maka satu hari apabila mereka sudah kuat tidak mungkin DAP pileh untuk berkerjasama dengan UMNO saperti yang berlaku pada tahun 1969 apabila Gerakan menyertai Barisan Nsional.
Sekian,

CHE Det,
1. Meritocracy at this point in time is racist.
2. I think so because, the champions of meritocracy are none other than the Chinese.
3. Their race always asked for equality in every aspect.
4. I have some questions for them if they really think the ruling government should bow to their requests.
5. Questions:
i) Are you willing to change your name to a Malay name?
ii) Are you willing to send your children to a One School for All with Bahasa Malaysia as the medium of instruction?
iii) Are you willing to adopt a Malay style and custom in your everyday lives and forgo all customs
and traditions that bears any resemblance to the cultures of your forefathers’ homeland?
iii) And last but not least are you willing to change your religion to Islam?
6. If all the answers to the above is a genuine YES, then I do not see why there should be a problem of equality and meritocracy among all races.
7. However in reality, all of the above cannot be implemented.
8. Firstly, due to the shortsightedness of the earlier Malay political leaders, they were compromising and willing to accept the Chinese and the Indian forefathers , without violating any human rights , as citizens per se of Malaya.
9. Secondly due to the stupidity and laziness of majority of the Malays ( political leaders + Rulers inclusive) they trusted the bule (the Whites) more than their own brown-skin people.
10. With all due respect to you Sir, Im really sick to the bone with the Malay politicians who merely served a lip service where Malay rights and meritocracy is concerned.
11. Meritocracy is thrown out the window when it involves a personal interest.
12. This hipocracy among Malay political leaders is due to nothing but greed.
13. So I emphasised here that meritocracy is NOT only RACIST but to whom holds the last winning card.
Thank you Sir and have a blessed Ramadhan to you and your family.
Wassalam.
To andrewtay.. i am 100% agreed with u. Well said.
Dear Tun Mahathir
Tun,
Malaysia is now experiencing a generation lost.
The switch in teaching medium from English to Malay was a lost generation.
The 22-year reign by the Malaysian Maverick was the root of problems.
Dear Tun,
“When the Malays, understanding the implications, protest against meritocracy, they were condemned as racists. Faced with being labelled as such, most Malays dared not support even the NEP. Some, perhaps due to mistaken pride have begun to support meritocracy, undermining the Malay position further.”
Perhaps there “bastards” taking advantage on NEP. There are even more “bastards”, the “bastarder”. But the “bastardest” are making the loudest noise. These “bastardests” are attacking the whole Malay people, blaming everything on NEP.
Bastardest ! Hush Up Will You?
Salam Tun,
PERKASA hanya mempertahankan apa yang ada di dalam Perlembagaan tetapi mereka dituduh racist. Tetapi bagi mereka yang mempertikaikan hak-hak keistimewaan bumiputera tidak dilabel sebagai racist. Tetapi bila Tun satu masa dahulu mencadangkan supaya sekolah Wawasan ditubuhkan, pelbagai NGO bukan melayu melenting! Belum lagi minta sekolah jenis kebangsaan, dan bahasa selain Melayu dan Inggeris tidak benar dituturkan atau dipamerkan. Mereka ini tidak dilabel racist?? Saya pon hairan? Minta hak keistimewaan bumiputera dihapuskan tetapi apabila diminta mereka juga menggadaikan perkara yang sama, mereka melenting! So sapa yang racist ni??
Pandangan saya selama ini negara aman dan makmur kerana toleransi dan bersifat terbuka. Tidak ada sapa mempertikaikannya dan kaum melayu tidak mempertikaikan kebebasan orang lain menyambung budaya mereka. Tetapi jgn la cuba menjolok sarang tebuan kalau tidak mahu disengat. Ni bila disengat marahkan tebuan sedangkan mereka juga yang menjoloknya!
30% daripada 100%. Ambil la 70% kekayaan negara tetapi 30% tu diberi kepada kaum bumpiutera yang bukan sahaja Melayu tetapi lain2 kaum yang diiiktiraf bumiputera. So berapa percent je oiii!!!. Yoang ko amek 70% tu orang Melayu tak citer apa pon. Saya amat marah dan sedih bila orang bumiputera bersongkol dalam hal ini. Rata-rata tidak sedar atau saja buat tak sedar. Jangan kerana tidak mahun menggunakan keiistimewaan ini anda sanggup menjual maruah bangsa?? PAS, PKR semuanya tidak menunjukkan mahu mempertahankan hak ini dan digunakan oleh orang lain supaya membangkitkan isu ini supaya orang melayu menjadi gelabah apabila yang membangkitkannya ialah orang melayu sendiri dan bukannya orang lain.
Saya berpendapat, tiada negara di dunia ini mempunyai sistem seperti malaysia dan memberi jaminan kekayaan hasil bumi diagihkan sama rata. Kita lihat di US, mana kaum pribumi dia?? Red Indian tinggal nama je….mereka boleh dikatakan tidak wujud lagi zaman sekarang. Kekayaan emas, minyak di US semua dimonopoli bangsa pendatang! Kaum pribumi saya tak nampak lagi bakal jadi Presiden US atau CEO dalam top 500 Fortune! Ketinggalan dan naif. dah la mereka sebelum itu rakyat Britain boleh lak minta independence!! Sedangkan mereka bukan menjajah….yang patut buat declaration of independence kaum pribumi tersebut!! Ni yang datang lak buat declaration tu!! Australia..apa jadi dengan kaum pribuminya?? Saya tak dengar langsung mengenai mereka…..Singapura…mana orang Melayunya?? hehehe sendiri mau jawab…
Apa yang nak disampaikan oleh saya ialah, apa yang dilakukan oleh Malaysia ialah praktikal dan reasonable berbandingkan jika kaum pendatang diberi kebebasan 100% untuk mebuat keputusan. Mereka sebenarnya lebih racist dan tidak adil.
Good morning Ayahanda Tun,
Meritocracy is neither racists nor non-racists.
Meritocracy is a discipline and universal tool to determine whether the person
Assalamualaikum Tun,
So be it.We can’t please them all.Being an UMNO member,Tun must champion the cause and rights of the Malays.
Economically we are dominated.Education wise,we not number one.Wealth goes hand in hand with the economy status.only a few Malays are doing very well and most are politically inclined.
So be it.Mentally most of the Malays have aceppted their destiny as faith.Only the few,with political interest being their main drive are battling for the Malay rights.
Too many wolves in sheeps clothing is the main problem here.we’ll never learn and everybody knows it.Even Tun can’t vouch 100% for present day leaders with a clear concious.
On our layman level,we figth toe to toe daily with the non-bumis.All fair in war and love but it is the Bumi Pegawai,Pengarah,Menteri and even despatch that’s giving non-Bumis the upper hand.Why?coz the non bumis can deliver..and they can pay up front,not like we Malays that need to claim first 2-3 payments before coughing up the agreed sump.
So Tun,like Tun said….SO BE IT.if a Malay leader can’t voice out his or her concern about their own race,might as well not be a leader.The Malays need a voice….suara ikhlas,bersuara kerana kasihkan bangsa bukan kerana cari kedudukan.Martabat ALLAH akan beri.Jangan sampai suatu hari nanti dalam buku sejarah Malaysia,Melayu dikenali sebagai bangsa yang pupus.
Tun,
let me and my fellow freinds inform you..
thats including the chinese and indians who have a moderate ways of life.
nice piece of articles.
we are with you! and so be it..
I find the manner in which Malay interests are being championed by the current crop of political leaders really wanting. Even arguments for a perfectly defendable and in fact socially just policy such as the NEP can
Salam bahagian Tun;
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 budaya bertongkat untuk terus bersaing.
Kebanyakan Negara Islam masih tidak celik dari tidurnya. Sebab itu hampir semua Negara Islam walaupun kaya dengan hasil bumi, tetapi kurang maju jika di bandingkan Negara kecil yang tidak banyak hasil bumi seperti Korea, Jepun, Singapura, Israel, Taiwan dan Hongkong.
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 dan kerja kuat.
( http://archive.arabnews.com/?page=6§ion=0&article=59375&d=22&m=2&y=2005 )
Tks Tun.
Dear Tun,
1) Meritocratists believe in survival of the fittest. They take lessons from nature and proclaim proudly ” only the fittest will survive”. It is like saying we humans are a bunch of animals incapable or too slow in evolving and so might is right and winner takes all. The problem with this theory or ideology however, is that while it is true in nature, we humans have evolved a long long way from the ways of the jungle.
2) It is easy to see why a group ahead in race would want to stay ahead by supressing others, and this is done by not allowing competition. Meritocracy is a very good way and excuse to not allow competition to even start. In a meritocratic system a few very good malays and indians will be accepted, and this paraded as ‘ see, meritocracy is fair ‘, but oh please, we humans are of many different races and we are all very aware of it.
3) Unless you remove religion and culture and melanin, we will always be with our ethnic identity. Meritocracy completely ignores this and is therefore a simply wrong human theory to use in a multi racial, multi cultural environment.
4) The various political parties have rendered help to their various races and the whole country was built based on this. There are very few bangsa malaysia and thus meritocracy should wait for the time when all malaysians are one race, if ever.
Racism in Malaysia is becoming a hippocritical badword …a political tool of politicians who tries to be relevant.
I would like to appeal to all Malaysians to accept this fact that we are all RACIST and it is not a bad thing in Malaysia because it is our form of competitiveness amongst each other to champion for a better life for our race. That is just about it.As long as we respect each other’s rights to voice our differences and resolve to be persistent in championing the right cause without being violent…and disruptive,go ahead.
Do not ever ever bring our religous differences into the equation as all of us are not competent enough to be comparing the various religion in this country.No matter how religous one can be or claim to be,let it be the domain we keep ourselves to ourselves and our own religion and those who practice it.
The constitution is clear enough to spell out the perimeters of practice.
I say all this because I love my country and I celebrate every religous festival of all religions in Malaysia and I enjoy the different ways we celebrate. That we have Public Holidays to officially celebrate them is a true and genuine respect by the government of the day…unlike the western world who don’t.
So come on lets not be emotional and bluff our own selves about racism in Malaysia. That is what Malaysia is so special.

Dear Tun,
Well said, Tun. It is timely to react and challenge. Enough is enough!! The Malays have been tolerating this kind of manipulation of the mind of the people. They have gone overboard and I am afraid the implication will be disastrous. Make no mistake about it. They never learn their lesson well.
Salam Tun,
I figured i’m the first one to comment on this topic.
Before i even begin, i just want to record my highest appreciation and admiration towards you. I can safely say, you’re among the top two role models influencing me. The other one is my late father. he wasn’t as brilliant as you, but he taught be how to be independent and care for family. By the way, i’m a Mensa member. Thanks to the genes my parents gave me.
All my life, i have been trying to be rational person with compassion but when it comes topic like this i can’t help it but, we have to at least once tell the truth. i mean, what;s the big deal about us giving up what is rightly ours. I had a small talk with an expatriate engineer on the ERL back to Putrajaya where i live, and he seems complaining about certain things like if he wants to marry a muslim girl (which in fact, he has one) he has to convert and implying about malay privileges so on so forth. Well my answer to me him, as matter of cutting through the chase, being a majority definitely has some perks. the same things with his native country, England. Well i can go on and relate my conversation with him but the main idea remains, being a majority has perks.
My question is, why aren’t anybody from UMNO just tell the truth? I don’t think we have to walk around and explain things. just say it. This sort of things have to be put on the back burner and move on.
I’m not politician today, but i will someday. and i don’t see myself straying away from what you’re fighting for, before and now. My only regret is i wish UMNO could have recruited more intelligent malays to fight the cause. We could have taken the lead from all aspects, be it politically or economically. Seriously, there are seriously smart malays out there but yet again, we are not that welcome. until today, the closest i can be near politics, is to become slave to a malay politician who is less qualified, experience and of course…less smart.
I have seen you from a far in Putrajaya….and i always wish i could spend some time with you…learning from you…the wisdom and all. For now, that remains a dream. i hope i could gather courage to approach you one day. insyallah.
Semoga panjang umur and sihat selalu, dera tun yang dikasihi.

Salam Tun and fellow bloggers,
1. It’s true, these new brand of racists are using terms like malaysian malaysia, meritocracy, keadilan, human rights, equality, etc and they’re gaining support from the youngsters who are mostly anti establishment, who’re idealist, who wants freedom, etc.
2. Sad to say, the malay youngsters are lebih-lebih and these future leaders do not mind throwing away their special positions cos they really believed in those concepts above.
3. I want to share an incident that happened few years. A govt agency organized a seminar and forum on perpaduan and a forum was held on the last day. They are supposed to come out with a perpaduan proposal for dolah.
a. Kerk (ex DAP) talked about his malay friend who had a bright
son and the malay father and son said they were ready with
meritocracy, so Kerk said even Mahathir said throw away the
tongkat.
b. Then an indian gentleman spoke about his malay neighbor’s son
who were excellent in his studies and felt bad about the malay
position but supported meritocracy. The indian man again said
even Mahathir said throw away the tongkat.
c. Surprisingly, a malay gentleman took the microphone and said
that he had the opportunity to talk to one of Mahathir’s sons
and he said, when my father (Tun) said tongkat, it was not
about malay special positions, but my father was the tongkat.
So throw away the tongkat means do not depend too much on Tun.
So the malay chap told the audience not to use that phrase
‘even Mahathir said throw away the tongkat’ because Tun had
threw himself out by stepping down and not about throwing away
the special positions.
My conclusions are; these ingrateful people will quote you or any malay leaders if they are to their advantages. Like power-sharing (dollah’s time), IMalaysia (najib’s slogan), etc, these words are being used to their advantages.
What saddens me is that my own race is easily influenced on this meritocracy thing. They feel like somewhat inferior if they rise to the top due to the special rights of the malays. The racists managed to influence them psychologically that meritocracy is the best solution but actually they know they’re better prepared in almost all aspects when meritocracy is the requirement.
My friend, a lecturer at one of the IPTA gave an exam, a subjective one that requires thinking (maybe at the application, analysis or evaluation level)and guess what, he said all the chinese students did badly…maybe because they are good in memorizing (at knowing and understanding level only)only. I dont think they have meritocracy in the real sense.
SALAM SIR!!!
MALAYSIA.

Dear Tun,
In spite of what the people who surround you might want you to think, the article below articulates the vision that most young Malaysians want to see in our future. You used to have a great vision of a prosperous Malaysia once. But now it seems you are supporting a future of divisiveness and antagonism.
http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/breakingviews/article/the-malaysia-that-could-be-kalimullah-hassan/
How can you say you love a country and yet want to see it destroyed from within?
Salam bahagian Tun;
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.
Kebanyakan Negara Islam masih tidak celik dari tidurnya. Sebab itu hampir semua Negara Islam walaupun kaya dengan hasil bumi, tetapi kurang maju jika dibandingkan Negara kecil yang tidak banyak hasil bumi seperti Korea, Jepun, Singapura, Israel, Taiwan dan Hongkong.
Meritocracy helps build the ethic of HARD WORK. Itu lah kunci kejayaan sebenarnya, bukan mencari alasan untuk tidak mahu berusaha dan bekerja kuat.
( http://archive.arabnews.com/?page=6§ion=0&article=59375&d=22&m=2&y=2005 )Tks Tun.
Assalamualaikkum Dr.Mahathir & Dr.Siti Hasmah,
Wish you as young and energetic as usual!
BENDERA MALAYSIA,KE MANA MENGHILANG? BEGITUKAH BN?
1.Since Dr.Mahathir become Malaysia’s 4th Prime Minister, we can see Malaysian’s patriotism was at the highest peak.
People love Mahathir & Siti Hasmah.They showed it by carrying our proud flags on their vehicles, homes and all other places.
2.After you stepped down,Pak Lah went up.Unfortunately or technically, many good things went down together.
The number of Malaysia’s flags on streets also went down.
Flags could be a small pieces but it made a BIG difference.
This greatly represents the down of support to BN.
3.After Najib take over, no any flags already on streets.
What is that mean?
We seeing him working hard but 1Malaysia simply and technically, only sounds as SHROUD to protect the power of BN.Honestly,What else is it sounds?
It only sounds begging people to support BN, so that BN can continue stay in power.
4.We have to create TANGIBLE PROGRAMS where EVERY PEOPLE CAN FEEL IT AND ENJOY IT.
Not INTANGIBLE PROGRAMS that created for ‘dengar-dengar sahaja or indah khabar dari rupa’.
5.Again you have to be a lecturer and Daddy to Najib coz we do love Najib to maintain the power and lead us to far better future (of course,not too far and too long future).
He also must try to reduce the back- drops of cimb and other ‘relations things’ when appear on tvs and medias.
Coz people not only know but also analyse things better now.
Worst part, when they analyse wrongly.
Happy always and wassalam.
True…
Singapore
From a malay country to meritocracy and slowly to little China…
Once that is accomplish, next stop….. Malaysia
The day, Malaysia becomes ‘DAP’s modified version of meritocracy’
is the day, it becomes Big Brother China…
The Chinese population will be ‘top up’ from China’s population
to make them the majority (eg; SIngapore)….
Chinese…
From the beginning, they wanted to rule Malaysia…
They spread propaganda about their cause to the Malays
Naive sympathetic Malays believe in their cause due to lack of understanding about the ‘world’, power and human beings…
First, they bring in communism ideology (1948 to 1960)(1967 to 1989)
now, that communism have collapse…..
they talk about human rights….. equality….. and worse, Meritocracy…
of course, the chinese are known to practice human rights, equality and meritocracy…….
the question is ….WHEN?
Salam Tun,
Kepada semua non-malay:
1. Ingat jasa bangsa Melayu , sanggup bekerjasama dgn anda demi kemerdekaan.
2. Segalanya anda dapat , kerakyatan , hartanah , ekonomi , politik,
everything lah … .
3. What else you want? 100% of Malaysia Land…?
4. It is mean that Malay have to be execute from this land..?
5. You will become all same as the Zionis.
6. Anda tidak mengenang jasa..
7. Kerana budibaik bangsa Melayu lah Malaysia ini aman…
8. Kami tak kacau kemajuan Ekonomi anda , anda menjadi kaya raya.
Melayu tidak irihati..
9. Malah kami berurusan jual beli dengan anda (lebih membeli).
10. Fikirkan lah .. Bangsa Melayu lah penyebab utama Keamanan
Malaysia.
Assalamualaikum Tun.
This is my first comment in this blog. Selalunya pemerhati.
Again you set us to think about what you’re saying. Yes never thought that it is a racist act. Niat diaorang terbongkar.
Thanks.
Sihat selalu Tun.
Assalamualikum
Dearest Tun,
1-Quo Vadis Tun? The prospect of the Malays losing their political dominance is really giving you sleepless nights doesn’t it?So no matter what people will say you will continue to harp on this issue until kingdom come.
2-Tun we all know that meritocracy at a time the Malays were mainly impoverished rural folks while the non Malays were mostly urbanized enjoying better education and facilities will definitely do injustice to the Malays.That was the situation of early Malaysia.
3-But the question is until when is a positive discrimination going to be afforded the Malays?Until they become totally dependent on the Govt and unable to survive on their own anymore?50 years of it should have been sufficient but as you yourself admit it was the weak management that has failed the NEP.
4-So should another 50 years be given just because you failed the first time?And how can you be sure that you’d do it right the second time?What if they mismanage again,extend another 50 years and see the disparity of income between the UMNO/PKR putras and the Malay masses become even wider?
5-But we can’t go on another 50 years as we would be losing out to our neighbors in this competitive environment of the 21st Century.These policies we must have to help the Malays will not only shun away the foreign investors but also our own local investors who will take their capital elsewhere.What should have been God’s blessings to Malaysia, these human resources and capital, have instead been squandered away so mindlessly
6-Tun I am not being negative,but sometimes you should know just when you can’t change certain things.You were at it 22 years and yet you failed,so what make anybody else able to do it now?I don’t think we will have anyone else who will be as lucky to have ‘so much time’ as you. Tun sincerely,do you think you can do it right if you get a second 22 years,doing the same wrong things?
6-Crazy though it may sound the only way forward in my opinion is:
a) Breakup Malaysia into 2 fully autonomous regions in one.All the Malays that will require the assistance can get it in the Malay Malaysia (MM).Its like a big ICU.Then there will be the non Malay Malaysia(NMM),the Malaysia that is ready to take on the challenges of the 21st century.
b)I would recommend that the whole state of Penang,certain parts of Perak and Selangor be the non Malay 1(NMM1)centred at my beautiful hometown IPOH,,Western coastal Johore from Muar all the way to JB be non Malay Malaysia 2(NMM2) to be centered at Batu Pahat.Maybe a couple of pockets likewise in East Malaysia.
c)The non Malay Malaysia will be an autonomous states within Malaysia that is only controlled by the Federal Govt in the matters of Defense only.It is recommended to emulate Singapore Lock,Stock and Barrel.It must also ensure that the NMM must retain the Malaysian image and not be turned into a CHINA or INDIA.Like Singapore is OK.The rest they are fully autonomous.
d) Since the Malay Malaysia will be the majority they will rule over the whole of Malaysia.The Prime Minister will be from this Greater Malaysia of course.The recommended new capital is Kuantan,first choice and Pekan,second.The Malays can continue to experiment with their NEP for as long as they wish while the Non Malays can go on with their lives with justice and equity in their Non Malay Malaysia.The Malays in the NMM who feel left out can move over to MM and vice versa.
e) One day when the Malay Malaysians feel they are ready to compete with the non Malay Malaysians they can absolve this two Govt system and merge into the real Malaysia without the discriminatory NEP forever.They will finally have a true ONE MALAYSIA.Everybody should be happy.And we need THINK TANKS to work out things so that everybody should be happy right from day 1.
7- In other words before you can have One Malaysia you must first have two Malaysia!That’s why Najib is unlikely to support this idea.But if he sees what Tun see,he’ll understand its a matter of accepting the inevitable that is going to happen either willingly or unwillingly.Willingly is actually not an option.Unwillingly can cause panic which is really undesirable.It can be bloody.So TWO MALAYSIA is one of the willing options.
8-But my Malaysia is a blessed nation.There will be a way out, if not this way than another but as long as we don’t give up thinking out of the box.Start with the craziest ideas…Malaysia Boleh Tun.

WALAHU’ALAM
Tun,
Let me put in perspective for you.
I am a middle-aged average Malaysian Joe without any political affiliation. I am certainly not a racist.
If an election were to be called now and you are contesting against the following opponents and I as a voter have to make a decision, this is how it will go;
You against Nik Aziz – Though I think he is a clod, I wil still pick him.
You against Lim Guan Eng – LGE hands down.
You against Anwar Ibrahim – I won’t go out to vote.
You against Karpal Singh – Karpal Singh hands down
You againts Hadi Awang, Hassan Ali – I wont’t vote in either occasion.
You against Khalid Samad (Shah Alam MP) — Khalid hands down, I respect this guy.
I think you get the picture. See I am not a racist.
Best Regards,
Ataturk
Dear Tun,
A couple of years ago, during the time when you were PM, we supposedly changed our university entrance system to one that favoured meritocracy. What was that all about, and was it ever carried out.
I cant understand your logic, by all means have quotas for the bumiputera, but please dont label meritocracy the way you did in this article. In the long run, the only way any nation can compete and get ahead is to put its best foot forward in every field. You know this fact as well as anyone would.
Regards and best wishes.
If the Malay could run this country smoothly, wisely, with high morality, free of corruption, this problem would not happen. With the tremendous rate of corruption in our government management today, should the rakyat let those corruption continue without opposing it? So be it?
Tun,
As usual, well put.
Assalamualaikum Tun and Selamat Berpuasa,
Is meritocracy racist? It is racist when it is being used as an excuse for one race to become dominant over all the other races. For example, Singapore supposedly practice meritocracy. But we can see the economy, the military, the government and everything under the Singapore Sun is being controlled by only 1 race, the Chinese. The Malays Singapore is being sidelined to extent they have no role to in the nation building in Singapore. Of course no one talks about this, so long as meritocracy is being devotely practiced. On the other hand, Malaysia has NEP, but we can see the cabinet ministers are multiracial, we see the corporate leaders are multiracial, even our military and police force is multiracial. Most of the top 10 most richest Malaysian are non-Malays. So who is being more racist? Singapore or Malaysia?
We talk about Singapore because that is what some (or most?) Malaysian Chinese want Malaysia to be. Practicing “meritocracy” but opening the possibility of everything being controlled by 1 race. As Tun mention, maybe meritocracy is being used as an excuse to control everything by 1 race, as happened in Singapore.
There are some successful Malays. Some of them has become successful lawyers, owning the big or large law firms, some of them has become successful bankers and corporate leaders. I am sad that some of these Malays support meritocracy without fully understanding the implications to the country. They only look at themselves, once successful, suddenly meritocracy is the name of the game. Ironically, these successful Malays only called for meritocracy when they are at the top of their game. When they first started out in the corporate world or when they first wanted to enter university, there was no mention of meritocracy. The government, in the quest to create a successful Malays to balance the economic inequity among the races, has helped them become what they are today. They are burning the bridge that they used to become successful so that future generation Malays may not use the same bridge. If this is not selfish (some would say treacherous), I do not know what is.
I am a Malay and had benefited from the NEP, being a Mara scholar. Therefore, I feel duty bound to help my fellow Malays who are still struggling to become successful in their own country. The makcik, pakcik from the kampung. They are proud I am one of the successful Malays as most malay youths in the kampungs are still drug addicts. The Malays has still a long way to go to become successful. I would have hoped the succesful lawyers, bankers and corporate leader to look at their fellow malays in the kampungs before talking about meritocracy. Remember your roots. How you become as you are now.
1Malaysia can still be a reality. The problem is the inequity among the races. Most houses, banglos, mansions in the city belong to the Chinese. Most businesses belong to the Chinese. Even the in the private sector, even though the chairman is Malay, the middle management and front liners are mostly Chinese. The Malays are at the exact opposite. So how do we balance this imbalance? Either make the Chinese poorer to match the Malays, or help the Malays increase their livelihood to match the Chinese. Tun Razak know about this and that was how the NEP was formed. Instead of taking what the Chinese own, he chose to increase the livelihood of the Malays so that hopefully, it will match the Chinese and balance the equation.
Once that is done, once everyone is on equal footing, only then can 1Malaysia be a reality.
Hypocrites!..why do even bother being sensitive to these hypocrites Tun.
when the malays defends its right, they call it racist. When others want their rights, they call it “is their rights”.
Dear Dr Mahathir
I love your article. You are absolutely correct in your assessment of the Malays and Malaysian politics. There is no sincerity in politics.
Just hypocracy. Politicians who sway with the “tide” are generally men of no principles — and not worth thinking about..
Salam perjuangan buat Tun,
Tun, Teruskan perjuanganmu demi agama,bangsa dan tanahair.
Semoga Allah berikan kesihatan fizikal dan mental, semangat juang yang tinggi dan berkekalan.Moga hidupmu diberkati di dunia dan akhirat.
Melayu-Pas semakin hanyut dengan janji manis Pakatan Rakyat.mereka semakin keliru dalam halatuju dan perjuangan asal.Demi kuasa, mereka sanggup bersekongkol dengan DAP yang NYATA sekali menolak hudud dan negara islam.
amin.
wassalam
By the way,
DAP is not only ANTI-Malay, but ANTI-Islam as well. Lim Guan Eng might be a bit not ultra Chinese type, but Lim kit siang is very ultra. They have not forgotten what happened to them long ago.
Even isolated case like crime that involves between a Chinese and Malay were taken as a factor to burn up their ANTI-Malay sentiments. God knows what else.
MCA only concerns most about Chinese school and tolerant about the rest, but DAP wants special rights removed, but at the same time keep their ultra-ism alive, the vernacular schools, their language were asked to be made national language.
DAP is another PAP, and they do get supports from PAP.
Coincidently, just a day before Kit Siang spoke of Malaysian unity, his PAP mentor mention about how much Singaporean were treated equally, in every field.
They speak of fair opportunities for everyone, they speak of the so-called freedom, but to your dismay they are not really democratic country. The irony is it not?
We are half-breed democracy, and what are they? you know better the answer.
MCA is anyhow lesser racist than DAP, their primary concern is only Chinese school. That was why PR offers to make Mandarin, and Tamil national language if they win.
I dont hate Anwar, but from what I observe Lim Kit Siang is ultra-chinese type, the type that “I dont want to lose”. I forgot what Chinese used to call that. Start with K something.
Tun, cuma cadangan drp saya. Jika berkesempatan, elok rasanya artikel dlm bahasa melayu supaya senang nak baca dan faham. Sorry for my poor english.
salam.DiMalaysia kita masih terkeliru lagi dengan istilah perkauman.Saya menyeru cerdik pandai bahasa agar memberi definasi perkauman agar ia tidak sempit dan dipolitikkan.Adakah mempertahan hak sesuatu kaum tanpa menggugat kaum yang lain dikira perkauman.Bukankah formula ini yang diguna pakai dari dulu lagi dan telah terbukti berjaya.Tiba2 ia tidak relevan kerana dianggap ketinggalan zaman lalu cuba dibakul sampahkan.mengikut pendapat saya satu bangsa yang cuba mendominasi bangsa yang lain ataupun tindakan ‘etnik cleasing’ barulah dipanggil perkauman.Contohnya Ideologi Nazi,Apatheid dan Zionis.DiMalaysia perkara ini tidak berlaku.Kita sebenarnya bersaing secara sihat dan tidak perlu ada kecurigaan sesama sendiri.Teruskan……
Respect Mr Mahathir.
Finally the mask has uncovered, the true Mahathir is out. Good on you.
Lee Kwan Yew is a visionary. He did so much to develop Singapore. Singapore is a clean city, highly developed, probably a decade ahead of Malaysia in almost everything despite being through mass starvation in the 60s and surrounded by its hostile Islamists neighbours. They continue to strive and innovate raving the utmost respect from everyone around the globe except its bigger envious neighbour.
Singapore is what Malaysia will never be. It has almost zero corruption, transparent government by international standards, almost zero illiteracy, business friendly and politically stable. Rich, so rich that they even if they cant get sand from indonesia, they can reclaim land using money. For a country of 5 million population, they earn slightly less than Malaysia, a country of 27 million. Shame, graeat shame. With so much wealth shared with so few people, hell they are rich as.
You can call them all the nastiest things you want Mahathir but you know deep down you are nothing compared to Lee. If he was the PM of Malaysia, you know he can do better than you. You know that he is a better leader, more inspiring and intelligent. He gets his shit done, pronto.
I wont endorse the Singaporean government as being a fair government. They are known to be slightly bias to the majority but it pays off. They actually help the Chinese to be better in every aspect. I applaud their success.
While you have done the same for Malays, most of them still live an average life. They will never feel what wealth is, they will never feel what a sense of accomplishment is, they will never see their race rise to glory. Its APPALLING! Its disgusting!!
I am gutted, i am angry that after 20 years under your helm, Malaysia has never progress as what it should have.
However, a handful of your people amass so much wealth, they can actually have their kids, and their kid’s kids to live on it without ever needing to shed a single sweat in their entire life. It is unfair that public servants are reaping so much benefit. Logically, doesnt it tell you something is wrong?
Have you seen the australian politicians? They are modest down to earth people. They put themselves as close to the people as they possibly can be so they can relate to them. They dont drive around nice Mercedes and have heaps of entourage and police escort. People can openly mock and criticise them, they will take it. They dont throw people in jail for that. Hell, Kevin Rudd even sat at the front passenger seat in his official car, a white Holden. So did Julia Gillard. F me. Anyway, this is your legacy. This is what my generation will remember you for.
You are notoriously rigid and stubborn.Your unwillingness to change has created a dangerous precedent for those who preceded you to follow that same. You have made the vast population of Malays believing that they will never survive without the government. That is an illusion.
If the Chinese, Indians, Ibans, Melanau, Bajau, and orang asli can survive without much of the government’s help, why cant the Malays? I thought God/Allah made man equally? Are you implying Malays are God’s defective products who will never achieve greatness? So the malays are stupid and lazy? If so, being surrounded by 60% stupid and lazy people is not going to help the country much issnt it.
Look at some of the pathetic posters in this forum. They live in you illusion that they are incapable without the government. It was funny before but now its just disturbing. They honestly believe that they will NEVER survive without UMNO. You are their drug.
You should motivate the Malays instead of spoon feeding them. Although it form may sounds similar, but the substance differs. To train a dog well, trainers have to motivate them by giving them treats. If you spoon feed them/bribe them, the dogs will never going to learn. By applying this to humans, the results will be the same. But you probably already know that. So i guess there is another motive behind all your spoon feeding policies?
You will always play the “Malays cannot survive without UMNO” card. Because they know Melayu mudah lupa. If they are successful, they will lupa UMNO. By far, the greatest conspiracy iv experienced. Risking the future of your “adopted” race. You are going to waste them slowly. Its cancer and the end result is a slow inevitable death.
And for you people out there, humans will never progress if they just take things as it is without questioning the truth behind it. People will always have motives up in their sleeves. Whether those motives are benevolent or malevolent is for you to find out. Dont just accept it blatantly. Think logically either with your mind or conscious before accepting.
Issac Newton will probably never had discovered gravity had he just accept that God dropped the apple. Gallileo will probably never discover the sphere-shaped earth if he did not question the Church.
Now after saying all this, i’l be lucky if this ever get posted or remains posted. Good luck my post.

salam TUN.
sememangnya apa yg dikatakan oleh TUN benar belaka. perkauman di Malaysia sering dijadikan senjata oleh pihak tertentu untuk mematikan hujah pihak yg ingin mempertahankan hak bangsa melayu di malaysia.salahkah kita bersuara kerana merasakan hak sama rata hanya akan merugikan bangsa melayu.melayu sudah lupa kerana terdapat golongan yg merasakan melayu boleh berdiri atas kaki sendiri. mereka lupa kerana masih ramai orang melayu dan bumiputera yg masih terpinggir, lemah dan miskin, pergilah melawat mereka di kawasan pedalaman di sabah dan sarawak malah kawasan2 mundur di Semenanjung Malaysia.
ada pihak yg ingin kerajaan memansuhkan segala dasar yg berkaitan dgn DEB dgn alasan ia melemahkan melayu. mereka lupa dasar DEB yg telah melahirkan beribu2 individu melayu & bumiputra di dlm pelbagai bidang, pentadbiran dan keusahawanan. dengan rasa syukur, anak-anak melayu dapat bersaing degan kaum lain dlm universiti,perniagaan dan sektor swasta yg dimonopoli oleh bukan melayu. kita akur bahawa kekayaan negara haruslah dikongsi sama rata sekalipun golongan bumiputra melebihi kaum lain.
kesedaran akan kepentingan DEB amat penting kerana ia mengurangkan jurang sosial dan ekonomi di antara kaum di malaysia. dasar yg bersifat meritokrasi tidak sesuai dilaksanakan membabi buta kerana ia akan mewujudkan jurang yg ketara di kawasan mundur dan maju. orang melayu sewajarnya berbangga kerana sebelum era 80an bilangan org melayu yg bergiat dlm perniagaan amatlah berkurangan. namun dgn pelbagai dasar dan peluang, kini terdapat banyak kedai,kilang dan perusahaan yg diceburi oleh melayu sekalipun ia masih lagi didominasi oleh kaum lain. adakah kita ingin melihat negara ini hanya dikuasai oleh kaum bukan melayu dari aspek ekonomi? adakah kita sudah tidak memerlukan DEB disebabkan ada pihak yg ingin menghapuskannya terdiri daripada golongan yang berjaya? sudah lupakah mereka bahawa kejayaan mereka kerana mereka diberi peluang dengan biasiswa untuk melanjutkan pelajaran di peringkat menara gading? lupakah kita dengan golongan daif di pedalaman malah di bandar yg mengharapkan bantuan kerajaan untuk sesuap nasi? insaflah wahai melayuku kerana langit tidak selalulah cerah. percayalah kemajuan bangsa melayu tidak akan menghakis kekayaan kaum lain di Malaysia kerana bangsa melayu adalah bangsa yang sangat pemurah dan baik hati di dunia. TAK MELAYU HILANG DI DUNIA. wassalam.
salam Tun,
In light of recent developments in my beloved country,I am beginning to appreciate and advocate 1 Malaysia,1 name,1 language,1 school,1 race.Only then can we truly call ourselves Malaysians.
We must follow the examples of some of our neighbours.
Selamat menyambut kemerdekaan negara ke -53!
Wassallam

Salam . Dearly respected sir ,
In my humble opinion , if the Malay race is to survive and be relevent in this increasingly globalizing world , we ought to take up meritocracy as a challenge and work hard to place ourselves on par with other races , not only in Malaysia but also in the world .
Holding on tightly to the crutch of NEP and Special Rights for another 50 or 500 years only serves to further lull the Malays into apathy and false sense of security .
Meritocracy is not racism . If the Malays can’t rise up to the challenge of fellow countrymen , can they rise up to the challenge of the world ?
Jangan jadi jaguh kampung .
Ambil kapak belah ke kundur,
Baik terbelah si ibu kaki;
Walau setapak saya tak undur,
Itu adat anak laki-laki.
Apa guna padi bukit,
Padi di bendang menabur bunga;
Apa guna hati sakit,
Mati bertikam termasyhur lama.
Baik-baik mengail tenggiri,
Takut terkena ikan parang;
Baik-baik merendah diri,
Jangan menjadi hamba orang.
Bangsa Melayu jangan terlalu merendah diri . Bangsa lain boleh berjaya , kita pun boleh berjaya .
Jangan takut dengan sistem Meritocracy etc. Kuatkan semangat . Berusaha keras . Kejayaan pasti milik kita .
Salam .
Hi Tun,
PAS is not racist and never was, as you rightly implied above. I do think they are also unashamedly defenders of ethnic malays in addition to defenders of islam.
I agree with you that indian muslims do not figure highly in PAS and that’s because indian muslims are constitutional malays and I think it is fair to say that indian muslims do not need PAS to defend them as opposed to the 100s of thousands of ethnic malays living in near poverty in rural kelantan, terengganu, perlis, kedah.
Also, though fellow muslims, constitutional malays like the indian muslims are ‘different’ in outlook, in conduct, etc from ethnic malays.
I think PAS should continue to defend ethnic malays while UMNO continue to defend constitutional malays.
Yes Sir, so be it.
The recent MCA economic forum was a blatant attempt by MCA to strengthen their economc might and share at the expense of others, by firstly calling for the abolition of the 30% bumi equity, GLC interference and liberalize sectors that they have not been able to control.
As rightly pointed out by Dr M, what we need is decisive leadership, a sigular school system, whereby all races can benefit from the collective wealth of all Malaysians. A singular political system, that is not based on race-based parties. Assimilate and integrate, instead of clinging to a past, that is meant to control via a insular language and culture.
As for the bumi discount, it is a known fact that property developers reserve prime lots for friends and relatives, whilst others have to pay higher prices for Phase 3 &4 launches, which means u pay 30-40% more than Phase 1. Imagine, a bumi gets a 7% discount on a RM1.4million property when launched, is only RM1million. Which means instead of getting a 70K discount, he pays RM1.3 million, RM370K more.
The sure way to increase wealth is via assets acquisition, be it property or shares. When access to such opportunities are denied, those who have access benefit the most. The current concept of placement of shares further limits this process. So invariably the rich get richer.
Air Asia is a clear cut living example of a truly 1Malaysia concept, wherey, the culture is benchmarked against hardwork, which all Malaysians can adhere to and therefore are able to succeed.
Tun,
It is sad to say that i have lost respect on your as i was before during your 22 years of Administration. Your supose to be a peace maker as a elderly Stateman however you choose to be what you are today happy to him the nation once you led to be torn apart.
Is it sad right Tun ? Is that what you want to end your life on this earth to be remembered as person who destroy his own country ???
May God forgive you.
Thank you
salam ayahanda tun, slmt berbuka puasa sebentar aje lg…mlm nnti sama-sama kita berterawih…
Salam Tun dan pembaca semua,
1. Those who have had an early start, and hence had accumulated cutting edge skills and experience, can they be allowed to compete with those who had just started, simply based on the basis that the field is open?
2. When the playing field is not level, can those who have got a privileged upbringing be allowed to compete with those who struggle right from birth, simply based on the notion that, the field should be open to all?
3. Meritocracy sounds good, but it will discriminate and sideline those who are underprivileged still further- and then, it will be too late to rectify things.
4. What the government had done so far is great- all races in Malaysia had progressed. Maybe the original target was not achieved due to various hiccups pertaining to human mismanagement but it is still a good policy which we shouldn’t be ashamed of.
5. But to shout about MERITOCRACY without sparing a thought to those in the rural areas, those from broken families, those just starting their business, is almost akin to shouting out loud “HEY… I AM GOOD… AND I WANT IT ALL…AND I DON’T CARE ABOUT THOSE WHO DO NOT HAVE MERIT…WHATEVER THEIR BACKGROUNDS ARE…”
6. Let us not all be trapped by this meritocracy trap. Give opportunities to those who deserve them, whether it is due to their abilities, or whether it is due to their needing a bit of push to get started.
7. Tun, meritocracy is a slogan to make the richer even richer, the privileged to have it all, and the poorer even poorer, the divide wider.
8. Just to prove my point, do you think that any of those in the ulu of Sarawak, the ulu of Sabah, the ulu of Kelantan and the ulu of Terengganu will stand any chance of being counted based on meritocracy in the next five years? Ten years?
9. Kit Siang, Karpal and Anwar would never understand coz Kit Siang and Karpal can’t even speak for five minutes in Bahasa Melayu even if it is to save their skins, so how can they understand those underprivileged people of Malaysia: and Anwar is too busy with his millionaire friends in USA, Australia and all those great countries that he would never have the time to go and have a look at the people in the interiors of Sabah, Sarawak, Kelantan and Terengganu.
10. So, Malaysia- lets not be fooled by shouts of meritocracy delivered by those named in #9 above, coz they do not live in the real Malaysia.

Dr you are critical of the West, Singapore & many others & appear as a champion for muslims. The following data about the present flood disaster in Pakistan, a Muslim nation should beg your attention:
We witness the contrast of two countries-China and Pakistan in a time of great tragedy.
Both were devasted by disastrous flooding, landslides, massive destruction and loss of lives.
The Chinese responded by mobilising their own resources, thousand of their armed forces, police and volunteers systematically tackled the problems. You see Chinese all over the country giving donations in all forms, cash and kinds.
The Chinese leaders were at the site of tragedy within 24 hours.
In Pakistan, the President was enjoying his holiday trip to London, and he has yet to make his first visit to the scene of tragedy.
In Pakistan, we see the long lines of the affected and refugees, dressed in their long robs, blaming that the government for not coming to help them, and so they just sit down and wait and wait, and they are absolutely incapable of organising themselves to help themselves, because the suffering that befall them is God’s will- inshaallah!
China has not asked for a single cent from other countries or international organisations for assistance.
In the meantime, the UN is seeking US$460 million for Pakistan.
The Talibans said it will give Pakistan $20 million if it rejects aids from the Western infidels!
The US has pledged $50 million, Australia $9 million.
And the Arab countries?
Kuwait pledged $5 million,
Turkey $0.28 million, and
UAE $0.028 million which is less than the cost of a toy for an Arab Sheik!
The rich Arabs have oil and cash to drown themselves, but none to spare to help their fellow Muslims!
In every tragedy, it is always the Western infidels and wealthy Asian nations who respond to the sufferings of the Muslims!
Where is all the love and brotherhood that Muslims preach in their holy Koran?
Each day we hear them pray so loud and clear, but how many reach out to their pockets to give something to their suffering Muslims?
The wonders and greatness of Islam and Muslims.
Muslims and Islam still remain a great mystery to me!
An Open Letter from an Indian National to a Capricious Retired Prime Minister
Date: Tue, 8 Jun 2010
This is a very well written article which presents a balanced view and objective observation of the realities in Malaysia . Worth reading…The TRUTH, the whole TRUTH and nothing but the TRUTH.
Comments from a foreign writer Bryant on Mahathir’s article:-Kaki dalam Kasut where he says Chinese is the real master of Malaysia . This article was written without fear or favour, and it is up to us to comprehend the contents. It is written for all Malaysians (irrespective of race, colour, creed or religion)…
An Open Letter from an Indian National to a Capricious Retired Prime Minister
Dear Mahathir
China is coming up, India is coming up, Vietnam is coming up and now even Russia is on the rise. In this flat but wired world regardless of whether we are Malaysian Malay, Chinese or Indian, if Malaysia fails to progress, all of us will become history of this country.
Without the Malays, Chinese could not do well in the country and without the Chinese, Malays will not do well either. Both have to work together to uplift Malaysia and mitigate the acute impact that is being brought about by globalisation.
For me, a true leader is someone who has the vision that focuses not just on one particular ethnic group in the country but instead nurture the future for everyone. A good leader is someone who knows what the biggest threat the country is facing and directs the people to stave off that threat. A good leader is also someone who is impartial in his ability to promote harmony in the country for as long as possible.
UMNO is a political loser leading the country to nowhere. They do not have the capacity or unction to understand what is going on in the outside world. They have no serious idea where Malaysia will be in the next 30 years. With the emergence of the three new superpowers, India, China and Russia, standing tall and alongside the USA and the European Union, UMNO knows nothing of the kind of world it will shape up to be and how Malaysia may or may not be able to share let alone compete for the ever diminishing slice of cake of the world economy.
UMNO only knows how to get the Malays to fight with other non-Malays on insignificant issues within Malaysia, while in the meantime everyone knows all too well that these issues are oftentimes trivial, self-destructive and merely self-serving.
UMNO has no genuine interests in learning how their impoverished Malays will go on living in the future and they have no welfare concern as to what benefits them. UMNO
Dear Tun,
You are pretty convinced the Malay can’t do anything right without the government’s help, right?
That’s why they need NEP.
That’s why NEP is racial-based but not racist.
That’s why meritocracy is not racial-based but is racist.
Simply put, you think the Malay race cannot achieve things anywhere as great as the Chinese can without the government’s help.
That’s why to give success to the Malay means to help them in a very obvious way, but at the same time asking the other races to play blind or “WE WILL KICK YOU OUT OF THE COUNTRY”.
But, think again, is that really a long term solution to your problem?
A wise man once said:
To feed a man for a day, give him a fish;
To feed a man for one lifetime, teach him to fish.
P/S:I really hope you could respond to my comment, so I know I’m not wasting my time syok sendiri.
It would sound naive to say that there are no such things as racism, meritocracy, chauvinism, fascism and libertarianism or whatever people call them in Malaysia.
Imagine Chinese, Malay and Indian as 3 big families. It’s human nature to put their own family at the 1st place.
But those are not my concern. In my humble opinion, exploiting such human natures for own political benefits is the problem. Unethical people spend millions of ringgits to create propaganda that magnify racial issues is the true hypocrisy.
Ordinary people are lack of exposure and information to determine the authenticity of messages communicated to them thus easily exploited and influenced in bad ways.
The most severe segregation in Malaysia would most probably the oppression of rich and powerful towards the poor and ordinary.
Tun,
MERITOCRACY is not racist, but you are the most racist PM in Malaysia history.
Salam Tun, lani org Melayu dh meluat dgn pendatang ni.Bagi betis nk paha.Peduli apa dgn depa ni,hati kita mesti keras jgn bagi muka lagi kat depa walaupun depa buat muka kesian ka sedih ka.Dulu tok nenek kita yg terkenal dgn budi pekerti dan lembut hati bagi peluang kat depa cari makan kat sini sampaikan ada anak2 depa org melayu jadikan anak angkat sebab terlalu miskin.lani bila dh jadi kaya raya mula naik toncang,dh la hak depa kita tak pernah kacau lani depa berani nk kacau hak kita pulak.Wahai kawan2 semua ingatlah… kita mesti keras hati bila menghadapi pendatang ini,biar hari ini depa kata kita zalim jgn masa depan anak cucu kita sendiri kata kita menzalimi bangsa kita sendiri.
Tun,PAS Abu Lahab minta jambatan Langkawi diteruskan sebab utamanya kerana Tun bantah.Kalaulah Tun yg cadangkan jambatan Langkawi tu, pasti PAS Abu Lahab akan bantah sebab katanya membazir…Abu Lahab betoi depa ni.
ADUH …. Tun … don’t know why u wont feel boring by keep repeating same topic again and again …
Must hate jews, Badawi, Bush, Tony Blair, and Chinese …. other than that no more new topics ….
Today, the topic come back to Chinese again, after we hate Tony Blair for last post ….. The topic today same old story and tactics, make use of Singapore to achieve this purpose …
Since i was small, i was taught to sing loudly and proud with this song ….. “Negaraku, tanah tumpahnya darahku ….” …… the song recognized me that here is the place where i was born ………….. but everyday there is people who always condemn me and ask me go back to the mainland ………..
It is just like a anak yatim who adopted by a family, each time during breakfast, lunch and dinner …. he is warned and teased … “bagi makan then makan saja, jangan persoalkan apa-apa … kalau tak suka, balik saja ke rumah anak yatim” …
Tun,
Salam…
Don’t you think after 53 years of independence and after the NEP has failed so miserably, shouldn’t we really start to stray away from race based politics and move towards something different?
I am a firm believer of maintaining our Malaysian culture but that should jeopardize nation building and development. Is your Vision 2020 still a vision or reality????
Heng.
