The Sunnis were the privilaged race in Iraq during Saddam Hussine reign. The geopolitical balance can be easily unbalanced by interested foreign forces. As such let me plead with all factions to solve any problems in Malaysia the Malaysian ways without instigations from foreign fources be it American, China, India, Indonesia or Singapore. <BR/><BR/>LOng live Malaysians.<BR/><BR/>Simon WeeSimon Weehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03712281614895432512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-69745134047528298882007-05-29T17:27:00.000+08:002007-05-29T17:27:00.000+08:00I think I can swallow the recent comment by the st...I think I can swallow the recent comment by the student in NUS. DAP, what is your take?<BR/><BR/>Happen to come across a view of another malaysian student abroad (Australia) by accident, http://drjazzi.blogspot.com/search/label/Lim%20Kit%20Siang<BR/><BR/>I also think it is almost impossible to change the what the malays think of DAP, don't even talk about the malays voting for DAP. Can Tony turn it around? My question would be - does he intend to change the malays' perception against DAP?<BR/><BR/>I wish to bring to the attention of Tony that eventhough he has "won" the debate challenge, the winner, as far as the malays are concerned, whether it is you, Tony, have to ask the malays. I dare not say that here, some could support you but I have a feeling most of them does not like your statement, albeit it is for the good of the country.<BR/><BR/>Talking about trimming down the government, something comes to my mind about how a corporate head would do in trimming down a company in order to save a company. They pay out reasonable compensations. Sometimes they have Voluntary Separation Scheme. Can this apply to the government department as well? Rather than just say trimming down the government, that would normally trigger some fear of jobless situation or hurtful feelings, perhaps Tony, you could've suggested to the government to offer compensation for volunteers or unlucky ones? All you need to know is money works like a miracle sometimes.<BR/><BR/>I would say DAP did a good job in pressuring the government to have salary increment for police and civil servants. That, I strongly believe, does have a small impact on the malays perception against DAP.<BR/><BR/>Tony, I know you didn't do anything wrong. I do support you man, but on the other hand I worried if you can go far beyond the malays thoughts. Will they walk with you? I certainly hope one day, they will.<BR/><BR/>And I certainly hope, one day, DAP does not have to focus on malaysian chinese areas to win votes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-63126217221682569462007-05-29T12:53:00.000+08:002007-05-29T12:53:00.000+08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-80593979564715353242007-05-29T11:48:00.000+08:002007-05-29T11:48:00.000+08:00I would like to clarify that I am all for a Malays...I would like to clarify that I am all for a Malaysian Malaysia and I respect the sacrifices made by DAP politicians to achieve this end. I count among my close friends very urbane, informed Malays with whom I can discuss politics openly. They are opposed to the idea of Malay supremacy and who regard the nepostism and corruption of UMNO with disgust. Yet they could not bring themselves to accept DAP as a viable alternative. The question then is, why is this so, if DAP is in fact the multiracial party it claims itself to be? How many issues that adversely affect the Malays per se are taken up by DAP (one comes to mind -Islamic Family Law Bill 2005)? How in touch is the DAP with the Malay community? When I say that the DAP is sinocentric, I mean exactly that - it still focuses on the issues that affect the Chinese community (please do not equate 'sinocentrism' with 'racism'), often times to the neglect of issues important to other communities. <BR/><BR/>For the record, I come from a family of staunch DAP supporters. I am familiar with the rhetoric of 'a just Malaysia for all regardless of race' that is championed by the DAP (which is admittedly, my hopes and dreams also). But when DAP make statements like this (even if it is 'supported by facts'), it shows clearly that it fails to feel the pulse of the Malay community, and hurt their sensitivity. <BR/><BR/>This is my 2 sens' worth. As I do not wish to turn this forum into a debate on this issue, this will be my last comment for this post. <BR/><BR/>A Malaysian student in NUSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-84151297353077212752007-05-29T10:31:00.000+08:002007-05-29T10:31:00.000+08:00remember the nursery rhyme?" cluck! cluck! cluck!"...remember the nursery rhyme?<BR/><BR/>" cluck! cluck! cluck!" cried the poor little chicken<BR/><BR/>Remember its the little chicken who thought the sky is falling down!<BR/>heheAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-53646260582746933582007-05-29T09:35:00.000+08:002007-05-29T09:35:00.000+08:00Thanks Alan.rgdsSimon Wee, always a friend.Thanks Alan.<BR/>rgds<BR/>Simon Wee, always a friend.Simon Weehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03712281614895432512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-91949567071599915542007-05-29T08:00:00.000+08:002007-05-29T08:00:00.000+08:00People , I think the reason the SSIL (silly son-in...People , I think the reason the SSIL (silly son-in-law ) is so pissed off with <BR/>Tony is that the idiot (KJ) is an unemployable unemployed too!!! <BR/><BR/>Therefore the imbecile concluded that Tony had personally <BR/>attacked him .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-83154763947041401512007-05-29T04:41:00.000+08:002007-05-29T04:41:00.000+08:00Good luck, Tony.

For a Malaysian to hold such a view speaks volume of the success of the Malay leadership in institutionalized the concept of Malay Supremacy in Malaysia. According to Dr Kua and other likeminded, they managed to do it by unleashing May 13. (Talking of May 13, the recent expo’se highlights an issue in which the Malays, as represented by the Deputy Prime Minister, want the sad chapter of the country history to be forgotten, which people like Dr Kua want the truth to be acknowledged. The solution? Acknowledge the truth and then forget about it.)<BR/><BR/>Practically anything “New” in Malaysia spells the exclusion of others in favour of the Malays. Be it the New Education Policy, New Economic Policy or even the New Straits Times, all Malaysians except the Malays have been adversely affected. I am sure Tony would be able to acquire enough documentary evidence to prove it. If those affected start to clamour for fairness and justice and to right the wrongs perpetrated against them are accused of being “sinocentric”, then a great disservice has been done to them. Of course what were done to the disadvantage Malays before May 13 could be termed as unfair and unjustified. By the same token what have been done to the non-Malays after May 13 could also be termed as unfair and unjustified.<BR/><BR/> Malaysia belongs to all Malaysians and as such we must find common grounds to get by. If a call by the non-Malays for a review of the New Economic Policy after more than 40 years of implementation is termed as racist or sinocentric, then racially such a name-calling misses the point. <BR/><BR/>We all know that the Malaysian civil service is 90% dominated by the Malays. Because of such set-up whichever way it is criticized the element of race is inherent. If any blame is to be apportioned UMNO would be the main culprit. ”Malaysian Student” ‘s alluded to DAP being unacceptable to the Malays because of its sinocentric approach. Let me say that UMNO’s approach is dangerous even to the Malays themselves because one fine day when the situation is untenable anymore, the situation like that in Iraq could be the order of the day. Now is the time to rectify the situation and the finding of common grounds is of immediate importance.<BR/><BR/>Yours Truly<BR/>Simon WeeSimon Weehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03712281614895432512noreply@blogger.com
