Give non race politics a try of 2 terms
Dr Mahathir has quit UMNO, Malaysiakini has just reported.
I am not surprised. I was also not surprised when yesterday, Malaysia Insider
carried a piece of news that the ?good? doctor has decided to play race card
again.
I was not surprised because when a person is becoming desperate, he will take
desperate measures. Just like an animal, when it is cornered, it will be at its
fiercest. And never underestimate Dr Mahathir; this is a move to force Pah Lah
into a corner too.
I am however disappointed that he has decided to put his own agenda above that
of the nation.
According to Malaysian insider, Dr Mahathir said: ?What does it say? Malaysia
for Malaysians! This is the reality of the present situation. If we do not speak
up, if we choose to keep quiet, we will lose our rights and the other races will
take over. When that happens, it will be like Singapore. Do you think we will
still have control??
This is dangerous and seditious. How on the earth can non Malay takes over the
country, like in the case of SIngapore, when they make up of less than 40 % of
the population?
Remember, this is a democracy, each person has only one vote. As long as the
Malay brothers are in the majority, they will have the ultimate say over how the
country is run and going to be run. Even if they decided to do away with racial
politics, as many Malay intellectuals are starting to advocate, the fact that
they are the majority race will always be a safeguard to their rights.
So I appeal to my Malay brothers, do not be afraid of doing away with nonrace
politics. You have the number; you are the majority. Give non race politics a
try of 2 terms , 10years at the maximum. During these 10 years of trying out non
race politics, adopt policies based on social strata and give assistance to the
poor and the needy regardless of race. DO away with politics of race, politics
of patronage? etc.
I am sure, the country will progress better. There will be better economic
progress because by doing so, business people will become more competitive;
universities will produce better students due to better competition; there will
slowly be a culture of excellence emerging from all fields, even in sports. The
indigenous people will develop their potential to succeed and be able to stand
without clutches? important attribute in the era of globalisation.
There will definitely be better unity. Without race based politics, the people
will definitely mix better.
Just take an analogy. If you have a solid brick house and all your neighbours
have only wooden huts, by letting them build solid houses around you does not
make your house any smaller. Another analogy. Say you have the right to use cars
and other people only the rights to use bicycle, by giving them right to use
cars too does not amke your car any smaller, or your car any uglier.
Similarly, give people more rights does not make your existing special rights
any lesser.
When after a trial of 2 terms or 10 years , the Malay majority finds that there
are worse off, they can always vote to bring back the old way..race based
politics .
In fact, by virtual of being the majority race with the most votes,this is their
best safegurad, and they can vote for any system they like after 10 years.
The thing is, if you do not even try, how do you know that non racial politics
will not be better? Overseas examples like Switzerland have shown us that if non
race politics is adopted, the progress and unity among people will definitely be
better. So why not give it a try?
Dr Mahathir has misled people again by his speech.. The Malay percentage of the
population will get bigger with time and the non Malay proportion will be
smaller, according to demographic projections. No matter what happens to the
other races, Malays will always be in the majority and because of that majority,
they can rest assured that Malaysia will not be another SIngapore, where the
Malays are in the minority.
So I appeal to our Malays brothers, do not fear non race politics. It is the
trend in this world where everyone will be treated equal, as written under the
Universal Declaration of Human rights. With the world becoming smaller and
flatter, the ability to blend with the world is getting more and more important,
and when everwhere in the world , equality is becoming a reality, how are we
going to blend with the rest of the world if short sighted racial policies are
still being adopted?

HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN!
Tunku and Tun Hussien left the UMNO mahathir created, because they had total
disdain for what mahathir was doing. mahathir is now leaving the party he has
created himself, because he could not get his way.
He hopes others will follow his example. It would be good to see how much of a
support he has in UMNO. AAB now has the opportunity to put mahathir to rest for
good, at least in UMNO.
mahathir?s arrogance knows no bound. This arrogance is a result of his bloated
self-confidence in himself. He has convinced himself that he can do no wrong and
his logic supasses all others?.
The logic and confidence which are built with no moral and spiritual foundation
are now tumbling down. Malaysia is on the path of recovery from 2 decades of
decadence. There is hope for Malaysia yet. Just imagine what people?s unity can
do!

interests. Let all speak out for unity.

This is what I said previously. Malays, who form the majority of the population,
are the ones who lead the non-Malays. Not the other way round.
Umno is expired its shelf life. Lets change before you are poisoned.
