MALAYSIA IS regarded as A FAILED STATE

Lee Kuan Yew – "Malaysia could have enjoyed Singapore’s multi-racial system if not for the break up"

by Zaleh =Published on 14-09-2010 11:38 AM=

"Lee Kuan Yew, the founding father of Singapore commented on the racial relations of Malaysia saying that if Singapore and Malaysia did not part ways back in 1965, the latter would have enjoyed the type of nationalism and multi-racism culture that are practised by Singapore. He was speaking at an interview with the New York Times recently where he mentioned that it was being ‘turfed out’ of Malaysia which formed the first regret of his career that spans many decades.” -------------------------------------------& etc.

Lee Kuan Yew is reported to have said:

QUOTE
“Malaysia took the different line; Malaysians saw it as a Malay country, all others are lodgers, ‘orang tumpangan’, and they the Bumiputeras, sons of the soil, run the show. So the Sultans, the Chief Justice and judges, generals, police commissioner, the whole hierarchy is Malay,”

A reply is needed from Najib

Najib Razak

Below is an open letter to Malaysia’s Prime Minister, Najib Razak, I wonder if he will read it and then have the common courtesy to reply? Most likely he will not!!

Well done Ms. Jeswan Kuar, you are a true beacon of common sense and enlightenment in the stinking quagmire that Malaysia is gradually turning into.

Najib talks about ‘1Malaysia’, which is a concept which is pure adulterated devilish devious political drivel. There is more religious intolerance and overt racism since the '1Malaysia' bandwagon began to roll.

His ball-carrying ministers are talking absolute rubbish and must be looking through rose coloured glasses, or are just plain stupid, if they think the people of Malaysia will even listen to them, let alone take one iota of notice of the verabl diarrhoea coming from their mouths.

Here is the letter, please read it carefully, I am sure the vast majority will wholeheartedly agree with all that is written in it by Ms. Jeswan Kuar.

I most certainly do.

An open letter to Najib Abdul Razak From: Jeswan Kaur | Jan 14, 10 10:33am Malaysiakini “Mr Prime Minister, I am compelled to pen you a letter, feeling very distraught over the racial discord rearing its ugly head yet again. The negative outbursts resulting from the High Court's approval for the Catholic weekly Herald to go ahead and use the word ‘Allah' in its publication and the subsequent attacks on churches have made it very clear, that 1Malaysia is only and only political propaganda. Your giving the go ahead for protests at mosques only added fuel to the fire, one that is sure to ‘engulf' Malaysians across the board if not enough effort is put into extinguishing it. You know very well that the unity in diversity Malaysians once enjoyed has been destroyed by the powers that be for their own gain. God by any other name is God and the house of worship is simply that. Is a Chinese denied entry into a kuil? If yes, then the annual show at Batu Caves in conjunction with the Thaipusam celebration is nothing but an exercise at making money, thanks to the devotees who offer prayers at a fee. What about the Sikhs, whose holy scripture the Guru Granth Sahib Ji makes reference to ‘Allah' and its derivatives Alah, Alhu, Allahu and Allahi some 46 times? What does this tell you? Will the Sikh holy book be tampered with to erase all references made to Allah? Will the Sikhs be banned from reciting prayers from their holy book? Mosque and blessed feeling for non-Muslim If religion is so ‘private', I wonder what will happen to that tourist with a tattoo of the word ‘Allah' on her or his arm walking innocently along Petaling Street, Malaysia's very own Chinatown? I was 22 when I started off as a journalist with an established newspaper company. Even then I had no hang ups over ‘my religion and your religion'. This explained why I asked my Muslim colleague if I could accompany her to the surau and wait while she did her solat. She was more than happy and said ‘yes'. As she fulfilled her religious obligations, I sat, feeling blessed at being in a house of worship. It never crossed my mind that the surau was a place of worship exclusive to Muslims, until a senior reporter walked in and ordered me out, as she said the surau did not welcome a non-Muslim. Along the way I had more Muslim friends, some who said it was a no-no for me to set foot inside a mosque or to hold the Quran. But there was one Muslim whom I befriended who was only very helpful in helping me understand more about Islam, including going through the Quran, understanding the Sunnah, Hadith and even experiencing the month long fasting during the Ramadan month. Urgent need for comparative religion studies As a reporter, I was assigned to cover assignments at mosques. It was never unnerving for me as it was for the Muslims who became restless noticing the presence of a non-Muslim at their place of worship. I cannot understand why Muslims become so insecure at the sight of a non-Muslim inside their mosque. But they will only be too happy if the non-Muslim comes in with a purpose to convert. Doesn't a non-Muslim have the right to set foot inside a masjid, since it is yet another house of worship, to seek God's blessings? Maybe this is why many Malaysians especially are ignorant about religious practices in Malaysia because they are not given a chance to learn, with no conditions attached. Is comparative study not possible without converting? We all know that Mecca is a city forbidden to the non-Muslims. But why? It is a place gifted with so much history and sadly the non-Muslims are only allowed to see the city through television and magazines. A Muslim friend passed away a year ago and we, her non-Muslim friends, gathered at the mosque. We brought along selendang or scarfs to cover our heads, knowing well what was expected of us. And we later marched to the Muslim burial ground after the Zohor prayers to bid our friend farewell. No hang-ups there. Even shampoo and toothpaste not spared I remember as a child listening my grandmother uttering the word ‘Allah Taala' to the Muslim makciks in the kampung where we lived each time they talked about their respective health. No one took umbrage then, so why today the unnecessary excitement over the court approval for a Catholic news bulletin to use the word ‘Allah'? Why does the government take offence and demonstrate absolute authority in displaying its dismay over this, to the point that your colleague Nazri Aziz went on to say that the judge had erred in allowing the word ‘Allah' to be used? Is he saying that we no longer trust the judiciary? Mr Prime Minister you definitely have lots to do, but your to-do list will be hogged by the utmost urgent need to address the issue of 1Malaysia, in the true sense of the word, where the Indians, Chinese and the Malays live as brethrens, with no hint of doubt or syak wasangka. I believe advertisements showing toothpaste and shampoos exclusively for the Muslims have been doing a lot of damage. Is this a good example of 1Malaysia? Should the Indians and the Chinese follow suit? I do not understand how Malaysians of today are united in their diversity. A walk to the pasar malam scares me as I dread passing by the stall that sells beef, as there hangs the head of the cow that was slaughtered. Can the non-Muslims make noise about this? We do not because we 'understand'. But if pork meat was sold openly there would be chaos in the country. Whither ‘love thy neighbour' ? Why? Just like we ‘understand' when opulent mosques are built throughout the country. But how would the Sikhs feel when Astro's Zee station abruptly ends the morning prayer telecast live from their holy shrine, the Golden Temple in Amritsar, Punjab, because of Astro's timing glitch. This shows Astro's insincerity in making available such service to the Sikh community, not to mention complete disrespect for the prayers. Also, why must the term ‘babi' (pig) be used to hurl abuses at non-Muslims? Do the non-Muslims stoop as low as use the term ‘lembu' to offend the Muslims? Non-Muslims keep their pet dogs miles away from their Muslim friends who avoid ‘man's best friend' like the plague. Sad, truly that even animals are not spared by mankind, God's most challenging creation. If we have stooped so low, then it is time the country's national anthem ‘Negaraku' be relooked, for the rakyat no longer live bersatu dan maju (the people live united and progressive) nor does the rahmat bahagia, Tuhan kurniakan (God bestow His blessings and happiness on us) seems applicable anymore, keeping the racial tensions in mind. I am sure God is thoroughly dismayed with his creation, for they have failed to grasp the true meaning of ‘love thy neighbour' and are ever thirsty for each other's blood. Attacking churches like that happened recently is a bleak demonstration of 1Malaysia. When will the politicisation of religion stop? How many more hearts will your administration break to protect the interests of the dominant race of this country? Is worshipping the creator an exercise in politics? Mr Prime Minister, where were you when a Muslim transsexual was accused of bringing shame to Malaysia? For human rights sake, why did you not utter a word? Is the issue of transsexualism a petty affair to you? What happened to your catch-phrase of ‘rakyat diutamakan etc'. Is Malaysia gearing towards a second black May 13? If the current events are to be looked at, then yes, the worry and fear are very real as we watch the nation emasculate gradually but surely. But if we all come to our senses and realise the truth and beauty of ‘love thy neighbour', all will be well, insyallah.” Tantum religio potuit suadere malorum So potent was religion in persuading to evil deeds.

Quaere verum

Seek the truth

It seems that Malaysian Unity is in Decline

This informative and revealing interview casts dark shadows over freedoms in Malaysia

Watch and listen to this interesting interview from the Al Jazeera English programme “Inside Story”.

Please listen to it carefully and clear-headedly and judge for yourself who speaks the most sense. The body-language tell a story too. LINK

One of the panel is 100% reading from a script and seems to be incapable of speaking knowledgeably about the issue, or perhaps is even totally ignorant of the facts.

One could be excused for labelling the ABIM [VP Khairul Faiz Morat) representative as acting an inherently stupid stooge, as he is clearly incapable of taking part in the interview properly.

It seems obvious that this issue is more a political and racial issue rather than a truly religious one.

Is '1 Malaysia' is a political, rather than a racially harmonious concept? It sure seems to be based on what is happening up to now in Malaysia.

MALAYSIAN BOXER BEATEN & SLASHED BY MEN IN BLACK– JEALOUSY &/or RACISM?

Perabagaran

The Star had a rather brief and toned down report, click HERE

A more detailed report can be read by clicking HERE

Extract:

Mr Perabagaran said the men, all dressed in black, gloated about the attack and asked him: 'With your condition like this, how are you going to go to the SEA Games, do you think there are no boxers in Kuala Lumpur who are better qualified than you?'

'I feel these people were jealous because I was selected for the SEA Games ... It was also sad that nobody from the National Sports Council came to visit me in the hospital,' he added.

It may well have been jealousy, I certainly hope there was no racial element in this despicable incident.

Questions also need to be asked why the Malaysian National Sports Council ignored Perabagan's plight.

This incident brings shame to sports and also to Malaysia.

I suppose it will just be swept under the carpet as is usually the case!

Malaysia - Listen to a Racist Radical & a Rational Realist

BBC Radio 4's Crossing Continents travelled to Malaysia to explore the divide among races and spoke to the new generation of Malaysians pushing for more equality after decades of a system of racial preferences.

This extract features reporter Mukul Devichand speaking to Sue, a Malay Muslim.
Religion is important to her and this has influenced her views on race.

"If all of the Muslims would actually practice Islam like the Prophet did, then I don't think the Chinese and Indians would have a problem with the Islamic system " Sue.

To get a feeling of how things are in Malaysia with regards to racial harmony, tolerance, mutual understanding, open mindedness and unity, please listen to the views expressed in this video.





Now get the radical, ultra racist, intolerant, divisive, selfish and narrow minded view, by watching the video below.


"This is our land basically. We have already given one special privilege to the non-Malays, that is citizenship" Luqman.


This extract features reporter Mukul Devichand, of BBC Radio 4's Crossing Continents, speaking to Luqman, a Malay student leader at the Universiti Teknologi MARA, who last year led a street protest after an official from the opposition held State of Selangor, remarked that perhaps one in 10 university places at MARA should be opened to other races.

The full documentary was first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on Thursday, 8 January, 2008.

VIDEO OF AL JAZEERA DEBATE ON MALAYSIA'S OPPRESSIVE AND DRACONIAN ISA

ISA debate on Al-Jazeera English, which was broadcast on 6^th August 2009.

Watch the video of the Al Jazeera programme 101 East, when presenter Fauziah Ibrahim moderated a debate about the draconian ISA with former Law Minister Zaid Ibrahim, UMNO Youth Chief Khairy Jamaluddin and Denison Jayasooria from the University of Malaysia.

Tis video can be watched below on YouTube, which is in two parts, or alternatively click HERE (Part 1) and HERE (Part 2).

PART 1

PART 2

Did you take special note of the hateful, ultra racist remarks and nonsensical comments make by Mohd Khairul Azan bin Abdul Azam, Chairman of the Pro ISA Movement.

Such extremist sentiments and radical expressions of racial supremacy by the likes of him are much more dangerous to Malaysia than anything else!

But will he be punished or disciplined? He most certainly should be, but of course he most probably will not, as he must be an UMNO-ite!

1Malaysia m' Arse!!

Utusan Malaysia the best selling Malay Language daily newspaper in Malaysia, which by the way is contolled by UMNO of which Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak is the head, has quoted several Malay politicians and activists as saying:

'Malays should put aside their political differences so that they can jointly resist pressure from the Chinese and Indian minorities'.

“The Malays must rise and unite in facing the demands of other races that are now seen as increasingly excessive,” said a paragraph in the article.

To link to Utusan Malaysia click HERE

To see what was reported in the Singapore Straits Times click HERE

and Taiwan News HERE

Najib has been talking about a '1Malaysia policy', that seems to be just that hypocritical talk, is it yet another case of no action, talk only?

UMNO it seems will never reform, lessons apparently still haven't been learned, and the complaisant 'head in the sand' attitude remains.

Does UMNO stand for: Unrepentant Moronic Nincompoops Over-and -over-again

So it is now quite apparent (as visible as the balls of a dog in fact) which race in Malaysia is the most self-centred and overtly racial.

Whither Malaysia?

Who knows, but the good news will hopefully be the demise of UMNO and all race based political parties.

Politics should aim to be secular and racially neutral, otherwise the future looks quite bleak.

Rais Yatim

Meanwhile the Minister of Information, Communication and Culture (also affectionalely known as 'Ministry of Propaganda Propagation'), Rais Yatim was reported thus:

Rais Yatim said the ministry played an important role in establishing only the right kind of information* reached the masses.

Click HERE for the report in the Star

“The government is not looking to find fault with bloggers and other Internet users but would like them to follow the law to ensure they did not misuse it.”

"It is not that we are looking for faults all the time. But we would like the right of the people to be guarded by the relevant authorities and the law. "Our aim is to see the 1Malaysia concept succeed. However, in order to succeed, the facts must not be twisted or misinterpreted by some until it raises racial sentiments.”

"If the right information* does not reach the people how can there be success”?

“So, I want everyone to understand and respect the law."

*(= propaganda)

`THIS ARTICLE GIVES A SNAPSHOT OF THE REAL MALAYSIA.

In Malaysia non-Malay Muslims are treated with suspicion and held in contempt by some (a minority) shallow, narrow-minded, ignorant Malays!

Read the article and feel ashamed of xenophobic, racist, intolerant, unfriendly, bigoted, and ignorant Malaysia and some of her disgraceful people who even abuse and murder their fellow Muslims visiting from other parts of the world.

QUOTE:
In the wake of recent serial killings and severe discrimination of the Africans by mainly the Malaysians I wish to advice my fellow Africans who were made to believe that Malaysia is a “humble” destination for foreigners to consider Malaysia as “not a place to go”

The African had been and continues to be a “nuisance” in the eyes and minds of the citizens of Malaysia, not excluding the police personnel. Do not be astonished if you realize that the moment they see any black color from Africa he or she is perceived to be a criminal.

On Saturday, there was a mob attack by some 20 youths wielding metal rods, sticks and knives on 10 African undergraduates in Wangsa Maju which landed in his death and injured the rest, they were unjustly harassed and mocked by the youths for four consecutive days before the attack. The youths even went up to their Tar Villa apartment and demanded money and cigarettes. According to the students and as reported by the Malaysian Newspaper ”Malay Mail” the drama unfolded when three undergraduates were on the way to board the LRT to perform “terawih” prayers (long prayers by the Muslims after they have broken their fasting) at a nearby mosque at 8.30pm.

POLICE CONFIRMATION

The police confirmed that the victims had been regularly ridiculed by the youths who expressed their displeasure at the increasing presence of Africans in the neighbourhood.

BUT WHAT WAS THE REACTION OF THE POLICE?

Sentul district police Chief Assistant Commissioner Zakaria Pagan told Malay Mail that initial investigations revealed that the attack stemmed from the uneasiness of the residents over the behavior (increasing umber of students) of the Africans.

Therefore:

“We believe the youths who attacked the Africans wanted to teach them a lesson to behave themselves in public.” UNQUOTE
