'So this is the real face of '1Malaysia' - the classification into bumiputera and non-bumiputera with consequent entitlement to rights and privileges. Tell me again, what is the meaning of '1Malaysia'?
Fury over 'disowned bumiputeras' in Sarawak
Kgan: So this is the real face of '1Malaysia' - the classification into bumiputera and non- bumiputera with consequent entitlement to rights and privileges. Tell me again what is the meaning of '1Malaysia'?
An empty slogan to fish for votes from the non-Malays? We must be the only country in the world where education opportunities are dependent on skin colour.
To Sarawak and Sabah: take care. This bumi/non-bumi divide will eventually spoil the racial harmony you have now. If East Malaysians are smart, they should throw this poisoned chalice from Umno back to its face and declare everybody non-bumi.
Chipmunk: So much for the '1Malaysia' pledge. Tell me Mr PM, what did you mean by the above slogan which you preach so often? What is '1Malaysia' to you? Are they just campaigning words for the next general election?
If '1Malaysia' is preached sincerely, then do away with the 'bumiputera' status or include all of the rakyat under it. Mr PM, your response to this will determine the results of the 13th general election.
Lonestar: We should do away with the bumiputera/non-bumiputera divide. After all, we are from the 'bumi' and will surely return to the 'bumi' after all is said and done. Whichever party takes over from BN has to ensure that Malaysia is not divided ever again along racial or ethnic lines.
Petestop: Why are the East Malaysians complaining now when it is they who ensured that BN formed the federal government? Peninsular Malaysia rejected the BN government by a simple majority.
Perhaps the East Malaysians just want to continue to get short-terms goodies and are blind to the fact that they are losing out in long-term. For example, Sabah is the state with the highest number of impoverished persons in Malaysia.
Emergency motion on Klang shooting rejected
Ch: When police officers shoot, they say they do not shoot to kill. Maybe they need some help to identify the parts of the human anatomy (chest versus arms/legs) to hit with bullets if they want to avoid fatalities.
Concern Citizen: Unnecessary shootings are not urgent to discuss but the 'potong' issue can be discussed in Parliament. I think the deputy speaker is under the control of BN. By right, the speakers and his deputy must be neutral persons in the Dewan.
Malay: Of course, BN is not interested in debating the issue. Both the speaker and deputy speaker are BN people. This is not important to them because it is not their families. BN is playing with Indian lives.
Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein, if you don't know how to run the country, resign. IGP Musa Hassan, where are you? MIC, you should close shop if you cannot fight for the Indians.
Ex-Perlis mufti charged
Mr KJ John: Unless he preached in a public space, this charge isn't valid. Anyone is free to be invited into a private space to preach and teach scriptures, regardless of the specific interpretation of them.
Surely there cannot be a law against an event held in a private space unless it involved some specifically banned teaching.
Chipmunk: I am sure there are many more people out there who give religious talks without authorisation but apparently former Perlis mufti Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin was the key target in this case.
Finally, the Jabatan Agama Islam Selangor (Jais) has come up with a charge after contemplating what to charge him for. Speak of selective judgement. Anyway, Asri, the folks down south welcome you anytime.
Wira: The prime minister has already indicated that he does not agree with the arrest. I wonder on whose instruction is the prosecutor's office proceeding with the charge anyway? Or is this really a 'sandiwara'?
Perhaps causing Asri and the Muslim community in this country to rejoice should the government later force the prosecution to withdraw the charge?
