OPEN HOUSES chedet.co.cc September 29, 2009 By Dr. Mahathir Mohamad

1. I don't know whether we should copyright open houses but they are certainly a Malaysian invention.

2. I was gratified to see everyone, Malays, Chinese and Indians congregating at open houses during Hari Raya. They all seem to get along fine with each other. The Malays, Chinese, Indians, Sabahans and Sarawakians all seem to behave like true Malaysians, greeting the Malays with "Selamat Hari Raya" and being thanked by the Malays. Even little Chinese and Indian children were taught by their parents to shake hands and try to say Selamat Hari Raya.

3. It makes we wonder whether the country would not be better off if we don't have politicians. Of course I am one. But it does seem that it is the politicians who keep on stoking the fires of racism. Left to themselves the people would accept the way of life that has kept Malaysia almost conflict free all these years.

4. Malaysia has different schools for different races. They also live in racial ghettoes, speaking their own languages and promoting their own cultures. Few have friends not from their language groups. They really never get a chance to truly mix with each other. We are truly different from Thailand or Indonesia or the Philippines or indeed any other country in the world.

5. But the religious or racial festivals are celebrated together. We had four days to be together for the Raya. And the open houses would continue for at least one month, giving us a chance to forget racial politics and be just Malaysians. Even leaders of the opposition parties went to the Prime Minister's residence.

6. Maybe we should have continuous festivals throughout the year. Then we would come together the whole year long to celebrate and get to know each other. Maybe then we would be able to create a bangsa Malaysia.

7. Selamat hari Raya, Kong Hee Fatt Choy, Happy Deepavali and Merry Christmas to everyone.

By foongAuthor Profile Page on November 11, 2009 10:45 PM just came back from a Taiwan Tour, brought my youngest daughter who is only 9 years old. We wentfor5 days only. we enjoyed ourselves there. The moment we stepped on Malaysia ground, at the airport , suddenly my daughter popped out" oh! it's so nice to come back to our own country!' I was stunned ! from a 9 year old girl !! What does this show? There is nothing about races in her mind, all she knows is Malaysia is my country,this is the place i was born and it is nice to be back in our own country . Why the fuss about Malay, Chinese,or Indian ? Why the fuss about SK, SJK(C), SJK(T)? I agree with Tun Mahathir about politician creating all these racism stories. but don forget,Tun is also a politician, Tun also raised this issue for umpteen times in local newspapers !!!

Another story i want to share... My daughter went to study in a matriculation college in Tangkak. Her room mates were two malay girls. when she filled in some forms, in the space for bumiputras, she wrote hers as non bumiputras. Her room mate seemed puzzled and made a comment such as this "di manakah jun dilahirkan ? bukankah Jun dilahirkan di Malaysia ? Jikalau Jun dilahirkan di Malaysia, mengapakah Jun bukan dianggap bumiputras?" My daughter didn't know how to answer her ?

My son commented once to me, why you adult all are so racist ? most of his rock climbing friends are Malays, he sleeps with them, cheers with them and speaks like them. that shows what ? only adults recognise races, children don't, but adults influence them and slowly children also become racist, and the whole malaysia has Malays, Chinese and Indians. Where is 1 Malaysia !!! By mastersifuAuthor Profile Page on October 29, 2009 3:56 AM salam seribu salam Tun...

Thn lepas,sempat saya dan keluarga berkunjung ke rumah terbuka Tun,dapat sampaikan salam utk Tun dan Tun Sri,anak saya sempat bergambar dgn Tun lagi,terima kasih..

Terbaca beberapa isu yg agak sensitif di sini,saya serendah2 diri ingin bagi sedikit pendapat,harap Tun izinkan.

Chinese blogger disini byk menitik beratkan perkara yg kebanyakan masyarakat cina rasa kurang selesa,more to education actually.. malay blogger akan defence terutamanya hak kesultanan dan hak melayu yg telah dicatik dlm perlembagaan negara.. ok,saya cina,wife melayu,i always call my son,"CINAPUTRA" !!! what to u think i will comment?

Anak2 saya semua sekolah cina,tetapi di SEKALAH WAWASAN ! (satu2nya sekolah idea Tun yg tidak dapat langsung sambutan dari masyarakat cina..)

It's a wonderful school,beautiful study environment,see all races jumping around at the field and canteen.. One day i was at the school,one indian boy on the way to canteen, fell down,2 chinese boy and 1 malay boy helped him out.. Peristiwa sebegini bukan hanya dapat dlm iklan Yasmin saja malah dimana2..

Sesiapa melayu yg kalau erti baca surat khabar cina,pasti akan bengang sebab byk isi kandungannya berunsur perkauman kononnya mempertahankan hak org cina,kononnya lah.. Dan sama sekali cina yg baca akhbar melayu utama juga rasa sebegini sama sekali kerana tak habis2 juga ada artikal atau forum yg amat tidak menyenangkan duk menyuarakan perkara racist yg tak berasas juga..

Kesimpulannya adalah,seperti ADAM yg membahaskan perkara2 ditimbulkan one of the blogger,amat mederate sekali,syabas adam ! Adam tidak menggunakan bahasa2 yg kurang menyenangkan tetapi fakta2 yg menyokong pendiriannya,of course salah betul ada juga yg masih perlu dikaji.

Saya yg asalnya sekolah cina,kecit2 dididik ajaran bahasa classic confucious dari mendiang bapa saya yg berasal dari CHINA, bersajak berpuisi cina,tulis dakwat cina,boleh ckp dlm manderin,hakka,cantonese,hokkien,teohchiew..rasa2nya boleh layak ajar sekolah menengah lagi kalau kata bahasa cina saya lah,(maaf bukan tunjuk pandai tetapi tunjuk fakta,.) tetapi saya dari sekolah menengah bila campur melayu,saya cakap bahasa malaysia,lorat negori,sekarang tengah belajar kecet kelateh lagi.. (sorry,i speak tamil too..) kesimpulannya,ramai cina di negara kita,put aside those yg tua2 tak sempat atau tak berpeluang belajar BM,mengurungkan diri mereka dari bercampur dgn kaum lain,tu yg kekadang bila dgr some MP bercakap BM,aduuuuuiiiiiiiii..itu MP,what about others?

SRKC sudah tertakluk dlm perlembagaan negara,saya percaya kerajaan sekarang dah 50 thn merdeka,cukup matang utk tidak buat perkara yg seperti hapuskan SRKC,hapus tokong hapus kuil tu semua..

Cuma kita kena faham dasar kerajaan kenapa tidak buka lagi sekolah cina yg selama ini didebatkan bertahun2,kenapa? Kerajaan walaupun tidak menghalang sekolah cina,tetapi tidak lah sampai bina banyak2 sekolah cina utk menggalakkan pulak..

The fact is,u can not deny the facts that chinese who go to chinese school,many of them,(i don't say all) when grow up,they mix amongst themselves,tu yg perpaduan yg didebatkan tu jadi tanda tanya..

Sama sekali org melayu tidak boleh kata cina conquer ekonomi,dah cina tu bangsa yg pandai niaga,nak marah macam mana..? Ada juga org melayu yg hebat berniaga sampai kaya raya,cuma majority tu teramat kurang saja, NEP is a very good policy,it balance out the rich and poor between races,poor things are those idiots who benefited,conquered the cakes and let other malays watching..

Perpaduan antara kaum bermula dari sekolah,terutamanya sekolah menengah. i strongly support the WAWASAN SCHOOL BE ON AGAIN,thats perpaduan,thAt is ONE MALAYSIA !!!

SALAM UTK TUN DAN KELUARGA... By InSisAuthor Profile Page on October 15, 2009 12:36 PM

Saya agak menyampah nak pergi open house orang UMNO. Ada beberapa sebab saya turunkan seperti dibawah:

1. Mereka akan tunjukkan kekayaan/kemewahan mereka seperti pakaian, kereta (Brabus dll), cara mereka melayan kita macam nak tak nak aje, tunjuk rumah besar dengan perabut mewah. Isteri dan keluarga mereka tunjuk ketul2 emas. Pendekkan cerita..berlagak.

2. VIP-VIP UMNO tunjuk lagak tak seperti sebelum mereka pegang jawatan dulu sama-sama lepak. Ini yang rakyat perhatikan. Tunggu PRU mereka akan terjemahkan feeling dan sokongan mereka.

3. Nak jumpa VIP-VIP UMNO punyalah susah. Mereka dikelilingi oleh "gate-keepers" mereka. Kekadang tunggu berjam2 atau berhari2 atau kekala 2/3 bulan.

Sape2 nak marah saya marahlah. Ini kenyataan.

Wassallam. By AdamAuthor Profile Page on October 15, 2009 9:26 AM

Dear sitirend,

That is quite an ignorant phrases coming out from you. Religious men must only be at mosque? Saints? Prophets ?

Better to be unspoken Atheist?

By saying that you could already be revoking your faith towards the religion.

There can be no total 'unification' as you have said, there would always be opposition and the ruling parties. This is why it is called DEMOCRACY. Too obvious that you do not understand democracy, what if unified? Totalitarian? Autokratik? Monarchy?

By sitrendAuthor Profile Page on October 14, 2009 12:35 AM

As I can see, you can view LIFE in a different view after your retirement. Often a problem or conflict can appear different when the person gets out of the box or cocoon.

Politicians are ambitious people. Some masquerade as Spiritual but look at the during election campaigns, My God.....even Devil will not behave like that. Religion is just a front.These people cannot be religious, they are simply lost in their own world. They are just 101% politicians.A true Spiritual man cannot be ambitious. History of Saints,Prophets and Enlightened Masters will prove so.

While we call an ordinary politician as a "Wolf in Sheep's clothing", the so-called religious politician is a "Wolf in Wolf's clothing". But so far no one can name the great Samy Velu!!

If the Country is unified, the job of the politicians is finished. Fearing this alone, they have to continue stroking the fire of rascism. Hatred is their food.Otherwise why so many problems caused by politicians?

It is better to be an outspoken atheist than an unrealized politician.

Kudos to Tun M for realising this and PM for trying to make a difference. PM Najib, you truly deserve the Nobel Peace Prize if you are really sincere in your efforts. By AdamAuthor Profile Page on October 12, 2009 4:51 PM

Of course there is no apartheid exercised in the country, but there is "apartheid" like policies being exercised. There WAS, and IS racial discriminiations on non-Malays.

Answer;

Apartheid-like policies, that was really self explaining. You have just contradicted yourself with two different statements.

Apartheid-like policies, is not Apartheid policies. Care to enlighten me on what do you imply as Apartheid-like policies?

Like;

Resemblences, similiarities, they are two different things as compared to the one you refer as Apartheid.

Given the chance, I would like to know what is Apartheid? Mind explaining? and what is Apatheid-like policies being exercise in the country?

Care to refresh your memory, Adam? Here are the facts as a result of government discriminitive policies. - Wavering Kris and shouting Malay Supremacy - sounds like Ku Klux Klan defending Aryan supremancy to me.

Answer;

So what if he/she is wavering Keris? How many persons has he ( Keris weaver ) killed? discriminate?

It was just a mere symbol, a symbol of tradition of the Malays. Symbol of protection for the people.

Do you honestly think the Keris wielder is really protecting his people though? Honestly?

- Being denied entrance to the university or major you wish to study despite better grades than malays.

Answer;

Being denied entrance?? Ha Ha ha, amusing, oh my lord. Did you know how many others, including Malays who has failed to gain entrance into University?

And they only get to study something they do not ask for? like Diploma in business? or even none?

- More than 80% of local university students are Malays

Answer;

No,that is not true. Ever since the introduction of "M", more and more non-Malays gain entrance to the University. It is not dominated by the Malays or other Pribumis.

- More than 90% of employees in civil service/GLC are Malays

Answer;

No, not anymore. The percentage is not 90%. There are more and more non-Malays as of today.

- Dumping and humiliating sacred animal head of other religion publicly

Answer;

The dumping and humiliating scared animal head of other religion is not the Government's doing. It was this bunch of people.

- More than 90% of government scholarships allocated to Malays

Answer;

Is that true? Then let me enlighten you a little bit, "Biasiswa Nasional" open for all regardless of races. Over 70% of the current scholarship is occupied by the non-Malays.

- Forced relocation or demolition of Hindu temples - Lack of government funding to upgrade vernacular schools

Answer;

You sure about this?

Of course the Indian don't get killed or raped in Malaysia. Otherwise, don't you think groups like Hindraf or other "freedom fighters" will act more aggressively?

Answer;

Would act more aggressively? Then what about their actions on the poor police? Are they not human too? The innocents who were there by the time they came and ruin their shops? trash their cars?

Injured so many police just because they think they are right? What has the innocents rakyat done to them? What about the family of the victim in Johore?

The point was discrimination comes in various forms and it doesn't need to be in the form of killing or raping.

Answer;

Discrimination is not the same as you emphasized in your previous arguments on why the Malays should stand up, just like they did for Palestinians.

Because both are different, just like what you yourself have cleared that out.

If you were, for instance suffering the same plights, then it shall suffice to have that arguments.

If you fight for Palestineans for their injustice and human right cause, why don't you do the same for your OWN countrymen, who have been deprived for fair treatments and opportunities?

Answer;

Define fair treatments and opportunities, clarify it?

This answer is from me, NOT from most of us. You're generalizing things here. I am not expecting others to "fight" for me. Rather I work hard to earn my place and right in the society.

Answer;

Most, not All. I do not go using ALL for nothing. Read carefully, you did say. Re-read your lovely comment back.

5) I have seen a lot of our Malay readers objected to Israeli's discrimination against Palenstineans. If you're truly fighting for human rights, why didn't do so for your Indian- countrymen, who in the past 50 years have been marginalized? How ironic?

Now? Clear? or you still accuse me as of generalizing? By Khairul-DeanAuthor Profile Page on October 11, 2009 11:25 PM

Che Det,

Sekiranya ada yang tersilap, terkasar bahasa, apa-apa keterlanjuran, terlebih atau terkurang dari saya terhadap Che Det dan keluarga saya harap Che Det dan keluarga maafkan saya.

Mudah-mudahan ada yang sanggup meneruskan usaha memertabatkan kewangan dinar emas dan ekonomi Islam selepas ini.

Take care of your health.

Terima kasih dan salam sejahtera. By HajarAuthor Profile Page on October 10, 2009 12:31 PM

Dearest YAB Tun,

1. Yes, we should copyright “Open Houses” and also the idea of having “different schools for different races.”

2. Only Malaysians celebrate all kinds of celebrations throughout the year. Soon we are going to celebrate Deepavali, followed by Christmas, and later Chinese New Year..and so on..don’t forget about other religious festivals and even birthdays. No wonder we don’t have much time to work towards becoming a developed nation.

3. And, yet we have so many UNGRATEFUL CITIZENS who claimed that they are being discriminated, but at the same time are given the opportunities to go to the school of their choice and also free to have their own celebrations…etc.

** May Allah SWT bless Tun & family ** By tzAuthor Profile Page on October 10, 2009 11:38 AM

Tun,

1) Are you sad to see some politicians making irresponsible comment in the news paper to stir up the racial harmony in order to get votes or front page to show he care for their race? What is your comment to them?

2) We are heading to an era of not compete about who can be constructive or achieving more, but to pin point the others weakness, etc. This is current politics.

3) Is our minister in charge of the position have prior background or knowledge of the area in charge? Are we lacked of qualified politicians? By fun_jonny68Author Profile Page on October 9, 2009 2:38 PM

Dear Tun, salam Aidil Fitri harap sihat bahagia. Minta izin menjawab seorang pengulas naik angin(setelah sedikit ubah suai).....

...... Menjawab sdr 'kamal ahmad' on October 5, 2009 10:23 AM

>> Noble One Dear swearing noble one. Go back to your old posting ‘he who shouts (or swears?) first loses his dignity’ or something like that (ref V9179). ‘S.O.a B, dumb ass, damn you, go to hell, shit’ (all quotes) are exactly words that can apply to your above posting. I will not elaborate where these words apply to maintain decorum.

>> Fair assumption

The writer admitted to being Malay in the first sentence, ‘We, the Malays..’ and re-emphasized with ‘us’ later on. You assumed the writer is ‘she’ from where? I am dumb ass for using an admission, what does your assumption(from the pseudonym)make you?

Same with HBT, she is Chinese by her own admission in several postings. Maybe you don’t read enough her postings! You are too busy increasing your own postings!

>> One Sided

What is wrong for me to take one side when you can take Umno’s side. On one sided postings, detractor, non-parrot, non-beholden, non-worshipper, unbound, another side of the coin are equally possible description. Strange, a proclaimed Umno diehard accuse others of one sidedness? Jgn udang tak sedar sendiri bongkok.

>> Racism

If condemning, commenting on racist postings is racism, I am willing to go to hell for it. Nobody here decent enough to caution the inciters? But quick to pounce on me? Just cos you can't feel (not directed at you) it does not mean its not there. Maybe God should make one of our children another colour, to understand the other.

>> Self defence

Tun has lamented being labelled racist for defending his race. I am not surprised to be labelled after grappling with racist comments in an ultra blog. I am not promoting ultra chinese righteousness. My postings are all in response to writings released, not intrusive comments (open own topic) to promote anything. If you dont realize this, you don't read chedet enough!

I am tempted to mention your ancestors (in response) but decided otherwise. I dont seek glory, respect or righteousness. I only hope people read and think. Whether they agree or not, it is entirely up to them.

>> Getting Over

You need getting over, not me. I am all the while doing my usual thing. Keep up the charitable deeds, cut down on the uncharitable words, as God blesses both noble deeds.

...... Menjawab sdr 'Adam' on October 5, 2009 10:41 AM

Thank you for giving me the benefit of doubt with your request. It reflects excellent (proper) understanding of a writing. I dont mean to smear Malays generally. My comment is also not intended to smear Umno Malays generally. It is meant to refer to like minded people commenting in this blog (majority happens to be Umno grown Malays) who subscribe to the views mentioned.

I feel a racist comment deserves our scorn and shame. If a person feels insulted by the response, let him feel how he has hurt others. No apology due there. However I do apologise to Umno Malays and Malays who feel hurt by my comments when they do not hold the views of these commenters. I admit the reply may appear racist to the neutral person. Bear in mind it is a response.

By AdamAuthor Profile Page on October 8, 2009 1:08 PM

1) I have seen questions from our Malay readers that why non-Malays are not proud of the the national language, preferring to attend vernacular schools and they are less patriotic.

2) These readers perhaps didn't realize that the "apartheid" or racial based policies that are being practiced may be a reason how the non-Malays are behaving today.

Answer;

There is no apartheid in exercise in the country. I would rather not to mention of among the reasons of their behavior, but if you insist on racial arguments, I will have no choice.

3) Until the government removes racial based politics or stop discriminating non-Malays, I am doubtful that Malaysians can truly achieve a united and advanced society.

Answer;

There WAS, and IS no discriminations on non-malays. Their rights were not denied.

4) You may reach 2020 by the measure of GDP, the sophistication or maturity of your society is still 3rd world. :-)

Answer;

Indeed, and you are nowhere above that, I have my part of share in anyway, and not from anyone. I am among the majority of Chinese, and indian. Most probably the only malay in the course, I am taking.

Answer;

As compared to Palestinians, do the Indian gets killed? get raped? and all? you want the majority to do that to you, so that you will learn on how to be grateful? Do they get denied their provisions? schools?

5) It is ok to marginalize your 40% (~10M) non-Malay countrymen, but you still need to suck up to the 1.3 billion strong Chinese (China) and 1 billion strong Indians (India). How interesting to look at it this way, ehh? 6) Choosing between a proud Malaysian and a proud family member, I will choose the latter. I owe my responsibility to my wife, my children to find a place where our children can be happy, to pursue their dreams and to maximize their potential.

Answer;

That's the obvious answer I get from most of you, and at the same time expecting others to "fight" for you. Very amusing.

7) So, what does a proud malaysian mean to you when you're being denied opportunities, worse of all, less future for your next generations?

Answer;

Opportunities as in? What opportunities are being denied? Care to clarify? By S..TanAuthor Profile Page on October 8, 2009 1:47 AM

Dear Tun, salam Aidil Fitri moga sihat sejahtera. Minta izin memberi pandangan pada sebuah tulisan....

Pandangan pada tulisan n.ajis on October 7, 2009 8:25 AM

...... HAK TERMAKTUB

Baca kandungan perlembagaan Article 153. Kedudukkan istimewa dan hak istimewa (keramat!) sama? Kedudukkan, sesuatu kita pelihara dari terjatuh, hak satu tuntutan tanpa soal. Umno yg perkenalkan hak istimewa dan ketuanan, bukan nenek moyang kita.

Perlembagaan menjamin kedudukkan Melayu dari jatuh dgn peruntukkan khas dibawah naungan Agung. Tak sebut negara ini siapa punya mutlak? Siapa yg jadi tuan? (siapa Raja adalah) Siapa, itu keputusan rakyat.

...... SEKOLAH

Menyalahkan sekolah bahasa lain saja sebagai punca perkauman mcm kata boleh ada asap tanpa api. Tepuk sebelah tangan berbunyi! Periksa kenapa orang lari dari SK lepas BI dimansuh dan dasar monopoli. Lihat apa berlaku di SK 30thn ini. Kenapa yg sedikit berada di SK pun dipinggir dan bukan jadi contoh kejayaan berada di SK?

Kalau ada bukti SJKC ajar perkauman, tunjuk bukti dan tangkap mrk. Jgn busukkan orang dgn tanggapan dengki saja.

...... HAPUS BAHASA LAIN

Orang ketinggalan zaman saja fikir menutup akhbar boleh menutup perasaan rakyat. Membakar kelambu krn nyamuk. Bahasa itu ilmu. Tuhan suruh kamu mengejar ilmu ke seluruh pelusuk dunia. Ilmu depan mata kamu nak hapuskan! Bahasa dan bangsa lain pun ciptaan Tuhan.

Kaum lain tak adakah agenda tersembunyi, atau menyemai kebencian? Akbar mrk kenapa tak boleh tutup (Utusan)? Tutup akhbar krn 70% tak faham hujah lucu. Agama yg 90% orang tak faham, kena bungkuslah! Apa erti hak dan kebebasan individu? Walau seorang saja yg faham, hak dia membaca, menulis.

Pendekar BM khuatir dua matapelajaran boleh membunuh BM, menggugat martabat bangsa dan bahasa dlm hal PPSMI. Di sini orang nak hapuskan bahasa lain ke satu mata pelajaran saja di SK. Bahasa lain tiada kedudukkan rasmi, tapi tetap ada martabat. Budaya dia agung, budaya orang sampah yg mesti dikurangkan? Boleh minta BM di martabatkan dan perluaskan tapi tak perlu hapuskan keturunan orang.

...... MUDAH SAJA

Cara atasi perkauman, semangat 1Malaysia bukan satu bangsa tuan, menerima bangsa lain bukan melayan mrk, bercampur bukan paksa menyerap, bergaul bukan bergaduh, bukan tulisan hapus dan tutup sana sini!

PS: Jawapan saya pada pengulas lain masih tersangkut. Pembetulan sedang berjalan.... By S..TanAuthor Profile Page on October 8, 2009 12:34 AM

Dear Tun, salam Aidil fitri harap sihat sejahtera. Minta izin menjawab seorang pengulas...

Jawapan untuk n.ajis on October 5, 2009 5:02 PM

...... BLAMING SJKC

SJKC is under supervision of Education Ministry and subject to M'sian laws. If they promote racism, report the matter and evidence (like cases reported against SK) and let them answer to the laws of this country. Dont make sweeping claims to smear SJKC.

...... CHINESE CIVIL SERVICE?

You willing to include dreams and fantasies to enhance your argument! If Hokkien is made official language, we may have civil unrest from Cantonese, Hakka, Teochiew, Hailam. You dont understand your countrymen yourself, but you decry them for not understanding their countrymen? Supremacist again, others must know you, you need not know others! What attitude condemns people speaking their mother tongue among themselves as 'bullshitting' (quote).

On language, it is a loss for M'sia to abandon an international language heritage right at her doorstep cos it cannot see beyond race! Many countries are willing to pay for expertise in this language. Here, instead of gaining one more knowledge they scoff at it due to race.

...... LITTLE CHINA

Painting opposition as devils to the Malays and bent on making M'sia Little China is favorite Umno scare tactic. No M'sian is against Islam as official religion, Malay as official language and special position of Malays. However they have every right to question Umno's interpretation of the constitution.

Special position means shares, special discounts, barring minorities from heading any govt dept/GLC? Official religion means no place of worship can be built if any Malay objects? Official language means other languages cannot be taught? By n.ajisAuthor Profile Page on October 7, 2009 8:25 AM

Mudah sahaja untuk selesaikan isu perkauman:- 1) Terima isi kandungan perlembagaan Msia, terutama berkenaan bahasa melayu, islam, hak istimewa orang melayu, pendidikan etc. Itulah perkara yang telah dipersetujui nenek moyang kita semasa pemberian kerakyatan secara jus soli kepada lebih sejuta pendatang asing. Saya minta bangsa ultrakiasu fikirkan kesannya jika berlaku khianat kepada nenek moyang, pasti mereka akan terseksa dan tidak aman serta menyumpah cucu cicit mereka. 2) Wujudkan sekolah wawasan. Ini kerana terbukti kewujudan sekolah yang "berjenis-jenis" telah gagal menyatukan rakyat malaysia. Malah sekolah inilah yang dikenalpasti menyemai semangat ultrakiasu dan perkauman yang ekstrem. 3) Rapatkan jurang ekonomi antara kaum. Ini supaya tidak ada perasaan iri hati terhadap satu sama lain. Maka sewajarnya DEB diteruskan kerana kek ekonomi orang Melayu masih kecil berbanding yang lain. 4) Hapuskan akhbar selain bahasa Melayu dan Inggeris. Ini bagi memudahkan pemantauan terhadap akhbar yang menyemai semangat kebencian dan ultrakiasu perkauman. Kerana kurang tidak sampai 70% rakyat yang faham bahasa akhbar perkauman ini maka ia tidak perlu ada. Dikhuatiri akhbar yang tidak dapat difahami majoriti rakyat akan mengambil kesempatan atas agenda tersembunyi yang tidak diketahui. By anakmemmetAuthor Profile Page on October 6, 2009 2:08 PM

Assalamualaikum Tun...

Selamat hari raya buat Tun sekeluarga...

Saya ingin membuat sedikit komen berkenaan pilihanraya yang akan datang, terlebih dahulu saya minta maaf kerana komen ini lari sedikit dari tajuk sebenar.. Saya ingin menyatakan di sini jika BN masih membuat kempen dengan cara yang lama seperti yang kita lihat di media-media cetak dan elektronik contohnya seperti kempen Dato' Isa Samad melawat orang sakit, melawat rakyat miskin dan sebagainya, dan kempen seperti mencari kesalahan dan kesilapan pemimpin lawan dinegeri-negeri lain (yang tidak terlibat), ini akan mengurangkan peratusan kebolehmenangan Dato'Isa Samad. Kempen-kempen seperti ini telah lama membuatkan rakyat jemu. Bermula dari Permatang Pauh, Manek Urai dan hingga pilihanraya kecil yang terbaru ini, semuanya menggunakan modus operandi kempen yang sama. Dikuatiri pilihanraya kali ini akan menyebabkan kekalahan sekali lagi kepada B.N jika masih tidak berubah. Justeru saya berharap agar Tun dan P.M berbuat sesuatu sebelum terlambat.

Sekian terima kasih By AnakLuarNegaraAuthor Profile Page on October 6, 2009 12:54 AM

Alhamdulillah tradisi Open House atau rumah terbuka ini amat dialu-alukan dan iainya satu intipati yg bagus bagi mengeratkan silaturrahim diatara semua kaum.

Memang benar kata Tun, alangkah baiknya jika tiada ahli politik yg memecah-belah dan memporak peranda diantara kaum.. Yang penting Tun bukannya dari golongan mereka dan saya amat bangga dengan kepimpinan Tun selama ini ...

YAB Tun dan Saudara Adam, Tidak dinafikan wujud isu perkauman di Singapura, ianya ada di mana-mana, no doubt.

Answer;

Thank you for seeing it in the view of mine.

Apa yang saya tekankan adalah rakyat mesti sanggup bekerja lebih keras dan berkoban dalam memastikan pembangunan negara adalah berterusan dan tidak ketinggalan. Di sekitar kita umpama Indonesia dan Thailand, pasaran mereka telah dibuka dan mereka mempunyai pasaran yang lebih besar, buruh yang lebih murah, maka secara semulajadinya mereka lebih menarik sebagai tempat untuk dilabur. Kita tidak boleh berhenti disini sahaja, kita harus berganjak ke depan. Kita ambil contoh negara China, ianya pada 3000-4000 tahun dahulu adalah negara terkaya dan termoden dunia tetapi kerana terlalu yakin dengan kemajuan sendiri dan masalah politik yang berterusan, mereka telah ketinggalan sehinggalah kebangkitan semula mereka pada tahun 1980an.

...... M'SIA TRULY UNIQUE

We are truly different from Thailand, Indon, Phillipines and rest of countries in the world. They dont have policies that promote racial and ultrakiasu spirit like SJK (C).

...... RACIAL GHETTO

If the civil service/GLC is 95% Chinese, they will claim Hokkien not BM as national language. The language will be use to promote ultrakiasu spirit and racism against others because no one understands what the hell they are bulshitting about.

...... SALAH ORANG SAJA?

The polarity today is created by DAP (lead by ultrakiasu families). They want to live in Msia, owned by orang Melayu but they want to turn it into Little China.

Kalau jari dan hati tak selari, niat dan buat tak sama, harapan dan habuan lain, ini akibatnya. Bila kebebasan bersuara mahu ikut perlembagaan. Bila Islam agama rasmi, bahasa melayu bahasa rasmi, hak istimewa orang melayu... tak nak pula ikut perlembagaan.

1) I have seen questions from our Malay readers that why non-Malays are not proud of the the national language, preferring to attend vernacular schools and they are less patriotic.

2) These readers perhaps didn't realize that the "apartheid" or racial based policies that are being practiced may be a reason how the non-Malays are behaving today.

3) Until the government removes racial based politics or stop discriminating non-Malays, I am doubtful that Malaysians can truly achieve a united and advanced society.

4) You may reach 2020 by the measure of GDP, the sophistication or maturity of your society is still 3rd world. :-)

6) Choosing between a proud Malaysian and a proud family member, I will choose the latter. I owe my responsibility to my wife, my children to find a place where our children can be happy, to pursue their dreams and to maximize their potential.

7) So, what does a proud malaysian mean to you when you're being denied opportunities, worse of all, less future for your next generations? By AdamAuthor Profile Page on October 5, 2009 10:41 AM

...... EVIL THOUGHTS Another commenter amazingly repeated the above opinion with a full statement. Shows the mentality of Umno grown Malays frolicking here. Minorities can do no right. They come you say its for the free food. They attend parades you say it is for the show not the spirit. They dont come you say they lack gratitude and loyalty. The fact Malays now have plenty of free food (as claimed by commenter) to throw at minorities proves continuing DEB is more for supremacy than helping the poor. I feel sad the supposedly richer minorities now are foraging for free grub from wealthy Malays. When minorities hold open house they claim look how wealthy the minorities, how sad Malays are humbled as guests in their own country.

Some one once told me meaningfully to always appreciate the unappreciated. That was Haji Mohd. Zain Tajudin. Those words sink into me well. I will have to say my peace for it.

I observe many here slamming the Indonesians. But for once we should see why they acted that way. For all the Indonesian criminals, the police must maintain order and shoot to kill if necessary. We make no apologies there, absolutely none. But for the maid abuses, must we close one eye and be blind to the obvious? The government MUST make known here out of all the maid abusers how many Chinese and how many Malay, and Indian employers? I am sorry for this comment HBT. We would see that Chinese tops the list to the hilt. They abuse many Indonesian maids. In the place where I stay in KL (when I am in KL), it’s a place where many people keep maids. Its just 5 minutes walk from KL Sentral. I have on once occasion stop a PhD Chinese man from hitting his Indonesian driver in the parking lot by my own physical threats on the PhD (you hit him I hit you here and now – defending a public from brutal attack see who have better day in court), I have on one occasion given RM250 to a fleeing Indonesian maid whom I know was being abused badly by a Chinese mistress to a Chinese Minister who keeps her. I have on another occasion verbally told off a Chinese Puan Sri for slapping her Indonesian maid in front of me in the elevator. These are all Chinese employers. Nirmala Bonat – who did her? Now out of the Chinese employer’s deed, the whole nation got shit on their faces. Before we even say another word to the Indonesian, we must think why the reactions from them. Many rich folks don’t even know what respect means anymore, to respect a maid! Someone’s mother and wife, and daughter! Many Datuk and Tan Sri (Malays Orang Kaya Baru plenty) I know expect their maids to wash some of their cars with the drivers as early as 6 am. Teach your wife and children to respect all humans! Your money don’t buy you humanity so earn it with your deeds, hearts and soul. Be kind to another. There is a proverb in Chinese that says “what you do today will happen back upon your child”. Live that line!

And S Tan you arrogant one sided S.O.a B! How do you even know that commenter Kak Long SJ (I don’t even know who she is at all) is even Malay? Is even UMNO ? You are a racist frolicking for free cyber space here. I know who you are. I know where you are from. I know why your BM is so good. Once long ago when I stood up for HBT against that mutt V9179, you said I was the only Malay standing up for a Chinese? Dumb ass you S Tan (I know what that S stands for now). How do you know she is even Chinese? For your information S Tan, I stood up for an oppressed being; be it here or anywhere else, I don’t care if that person is Chinese or Malay, American or Indian or even a Jewish Child or an Arab child, any one (except criminals) who I see gets treated that way helplessly in front of me I would stand up for. Not you or anyone else would change that with your racist remarks here. You are racist S Tan. Stop dead on your tracks now and consider that. No race and no religion quota I go by in defending a defenseless, standing up for the oppressed and appreciating the unappreciated.

Appreciation for the unappreciated, I have said my lines and kept my peace. Damn you S Tan, you can go to hell with your racist and ultra Chinese righteousness lines here. You can pick up your ancestors ashes and go straight to hell with your thinking. I don’t give a shit what you say from now on, you have tainted yourself beyond repair, beyond respect, beyond righteousness. You have taken your name to the shit banks where you belong. The world is rather a small place, and money gives us the edge into knowledge. I could email this to you as well. But for all to read, share and remember; an ultra righteous racist by the name of S.Tan, I have decided to post it here.

Get over it and donate to help the Indonesian quake victims in Padang. We have many open charity lines that's legally registered. Don't get cheated with your kindness. Do it in the name of God far above politics, do it for the children. Fly above all, and we may become better humans that way and God would see you better as well.

Dear Tun, salam Aidil Fitri harap sihat sejahtera selalu. Kiriman saya untuk tajuk ini...

...... M'SIA TRULY UNIQUE

We are truly different from Thailand, Indon Phillipines. They dont have affirmative policies that promote racial supremacy. They dont have open affirmative policies for supremacy of the majority.

They only have affirmative assistance for the poor. In fact no country in the world has such policy.

...... RACIAL GHETTO

Look at this govt built ghetto. Masuk tadika permata (99% satu kaum), masuk SK (95% satu kaum), masuk sekolah asrama (99%), masuk matrikulasi (99%), masuk universiti tempatan (99%) atau luar negara biasiswa kelompok (95%), masuk khidmat awam/GLC (95%), tinggal Putrajaya (95%). All paid for by taxpayers money.

Look at the other ghetto. Masuk SJK (95% satu kaum) peringkat rendah saja lepas itu masuk SK dan bergaul dgn lain kaum. Hanya 10% (yg kaya dan mampu) belajar sekolah menengah swasta Cina. Lepas tu pergi universiti Taiwan, kalau masih ada duit!

So long as the civil service/GLC is 95% Malays, minorities find it useless to master BM as a career language. It is only a citizenship language and lingua franca. They need another language to get employment locally or internationally. They must rely on foreigners or their own kind.

...... SALAH ORANG SAJA?

On vernacular schools, the polarity today is created by Umno (led by one person for 22yrs). Previously when English schools were around, vernacular schools face falling enrolment from this competition. English schools were multi racial in character.

This reversed when English was abolished by none other than this person. Who changed the character of schools? He pressed on for 22 yrs until the last day of his term to change this policy. But the mould is already set. You cannot change it, you have to break it (SK not the vernacular schools)!

This is another case of blaming others for your own policy failure. The other is DEB, still blaming other races for existence of poor Malays after 40 yrs.

Kalau jari dan hati tak selari, niat dan buat tak sama, harapan dan habuan lain, ini akibatnya. DEB dan dasar sekolah mcm harmoni, dipermainkan orang politik sedangkan rakyat tak ada masaalah.

...... FOOD OR FRIEND?

Don’t sully Tun’s good intention to highlight ordinary citizens wonderful harmony with idiotic statements.

The statement ‘just like how they are "willing" to be together to have the Free Food???’ to refer to other races is contemptible, with vile intention to demean. You imply they visit open houses not to respect the host but to grab free grub? You may question their motive but Tun will never believe people come for free food.

...... TUTUP SEKOLAH KRN TUTUR?

On vernacular schools the issue is not racism as you believe, but loss of mother tongue, heritage and culture, education and knowledge, international language, unifying language vs dialects, ‘indoctrination’ and domination in SK, lack of opportunities for BM educated minorities.

Resolve these issues first then cry racism. Look with your eyes, see with your heart. Bukan mata beliak, hati tutup, fikiran lesap.

...... COLOUR OF CITIZENSHIP

Making this disputable statement on minorities ‘as their ORI countries had Simply REFUSED to accept them back!!’ shows a supremacist mentality to demean minorities as beggars of citizenship. Citizenship is a choice and has to be earned. The deed of payment is not just by command of BM but other deeds (read Rukunnegara).

Chedet.cc supporters are always imposing new citizenship criteria (e.g school language, work language, signage, employment criteria), but refuse to acknowledge contributions in other forms. Like a wife who doesn’t cook is forever not a good wife?

You want to know why minorites struggle with national language, read the anti PPSMI explanation why Malays struggle with English! READ!

Another commenter amazingly repeated the above opinion with a full statement. Shows the mentality of Umno grown Malays frolicking here.

Minorities can do no right. They come you say its for the free food. They attend parades you say it is for the show not the spirit. They dont come you say they lack gratitude and loyalty.

The fact Malays now have plenty of free food (as claimed by commenter) to throw at minorities proves continuing DEB is more for supremacy than helping the poor. I feel sad the supposedly richer minorities now are foraging for free grub from wealthy Malays. When minorities hold open house they claim look how wealthy the minorities, how sad Malays are humbled as guests in their own country.

...... FORM OF PATRIOTISM

They are nit picking on trivial matters to demonise minorities. International invitation which is impolite to refuse is twisted as glorifying other countries. Umno invites Malays from S'pore, Thai, Indon too for their celebration.

On flag matter, if the minorities are declared equal to bumiputeras tomorrow, I will chop my feet if they dont hang flags as enthusiastically as the favored sons. It is a sign of frustration not unpatriotic. Is it strange the favored child cries loudest at the parents funeral compared to the others who sob quietly? The other children ungrateful?

...... WELL WISHERS OR HUNGRY GHOSTS

Tun must revise his figures on well wishers to his open house, to exclude the hordes there with evil hearts and intentions! Beware Tun. This is your spirit of Raya for 2010!

All these to paint minorities as opportunists who harbour evil feelings. Who really harbours evil thoughts? By tunnusantaraAuthor Profile Page on October 3, 2009 8:26 PM

Salam Tun,

To 'I see stupid people': FYI, I have never agreed to "sekolah wawasan". To me that is just simply ridiculous! - Belajar STILL asing2??

I believe Tun had to come up with a "midpoint" solution for those hardcore racist chinese associations dong-?? to insist, or more like DEMAND!, a "special" "segregated" school for "their" "people??".

As mentioned before, as citizen FIRST of this country (IE. if one wants TRUST & Respect from the majority Fellow-Citizens - just like in any Other Countries in the world...), those Sekolah Jenis2 people THEMSELVES (the teachers, headmasters, admins, etc.) should Volunteer to be SEKOLAH KEBANGSAAN Biasa with NO Jenis2 themselves!!! A normal National School with normal National Language, IE. as per any other CIVILIZED countries in this world.

Once the Majority see THEIR Sincerity in Wanting to UNITE ALL MALAYSIANS FROM YOUNG, we ALL can now Objectively Focus on the curriculums, the how tos, implementation, etc..

Thus, ALL is FINALLY United in a SINGLE Schooling System. We can maybe set these BASICS as a start:

1. Continue PPSMI for ALL schools (Math & Science in English), WITH OPTION for students to opt for Math & Science in the National Language, Malay.

For example: Total Std.1 students are 300 with 7 class. Students who opt for Math & Sci. in Malay is 130, so, that school would have 4 PPSMI classes and 3 Malay medium (ie. Math & Sci. in Malay) classes.

- this was already implemented in MRSM back in the '70s when there was still English & Malay mediums.

2. ALL classes (PPSMI & non-PPSMI) have options to learn Mandarin or Tamil during the Agama Islam classes.

- I believe this had already been done in some schools last time '70s (but most of them show TV pendidikan to the non-Muslims during Agama Islam classes). But now the difference is tha, it is compulsory for them to study their mother-tongue (ie. like in Singapore - for those who like to "compare" with Singapore - where during language classes, they're divided into their mother- tongue classes because their medium of teaching everything else, is in English).

3. I have some details already outlined on how this could be done which I had forwarded briefly to Hishammuddin last time when he was the Educ. Min. -- but, guess it was put aside when Najib IGNORED the need To Continue PPSMI; and the need To Follow his very SMART & FIRM father's Razak Plan for a Single Schooling System drafted out back in 1956.

Re: King to rule, yeah, why not?? -- maybe give them "transition" period for ALL Political Parties in Malaysia to BUCK-UP!!, ie. from coming 1.1.2010 to the next election in 2013!!

Cheers.

Thank you Tun!... Wassalam.

YAB Tun,

Kehadiran kami di rumah terbuka bukan kerana makanan yang disediakan adalah percuma. Ianya adalah kerana kami ingin bertemu dengan seorang negarawan yang jasanya tidak akan dilupakan dan mengucapkan Selamat Hari Raya kepada keluarga beliau. Adalah amat menyedihkan mendengar komen sesetengah ahli forum yang menyatakan bahawa kita tamak dengan makanan di rumah Tun. Masyarakat Cina amat tahu membuat pengiraan, adalah tidak berbaloi untuk memandu sejauh itu, mencari tempat letak kereta dan berbaris hanya kerana nak makan percuma.

YAB Tun dan Saudara Adam,

Tidak dinafikan wujud isu perkauman di Singapura, ianya ada di mana-mana, no doubt. Apa yang saya tekankan adalah rakyat mesti sanggup bekerja lebih keras dan berkoban dalam memastikan pembangunan negara adalah berterusan dan tidak ketinggalan. Di sekitar kita umpama Indonesia dan Thailand, pasaran mereka telah dibuka dan mereka mempunyai pasaran yang lebih besar, buruh yang lebih murah, maka secara semulajadinya mereka lebih menarik sebagai tempat untuk dilabur. Kita tidak boleh berhenti disini sahaja, kita harus berganjak ke depan. Kita ambil contoh negara China, ianya pada 3000-4000 tahun dahulu adalah negara terkaya dan termoden dunia tetapi kerana terlalu yakin dengan kemajuan sendiri dan masalah politik yang berterusan, mereka telah ketinggalan sehinggalah kebangkitan semula mereka pada tahun 1980an. Belajar dari kesilapan dan kejayaan negara lain tidak ada salahnya.

Buat Ayahnda n Bonda & semua pelawat Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Dzahir dan Bathin...

Izinkan anaknda,

Nampaknya hari ni semua rakyat indonesia seluruh dunia pakai batik dari ujung rambut sampai ujung kaki! termasuklah yg kena gempa kemarin & yg aku ambik dok jadi orang gaji di rumah mak aku nuh!!!. seronok sungguh presiden depa isytihar menang 'pertikaian batik' dengan malaysia. yang peliknya, bila masa kita BEREBUT dengan depa? setahu aku, kita selalu kata batik ni asalnya dari nusantara - kepulauan melayu -tak taula kalau malaysia ni duduk di eropah nun!!! Tak tau la lepas ni nak isytihar menang apa plak? sate? rojak? belacan? kerabu? asam gelugoq? tulung habaq mai

Awat malaysia saja? apahal batik siam? batik brunei? batik hawaii ka? nampak sangat suka 'buli' kita. padahal bila rakyat dia kena bencana musibah, tak segan silu & tak malu plak merayu mintak bantuan malaysia!!! menyampah laaa!!!. kita ni pulak lembut hatiii sangat, dok pi la tulung orang yg panggei kita 'maling', nak 'sapu bersih' kita macam la kita ni sampah dok pi mintak sedekah dari depa!!! tak sedaq kaum puak dia yang berjuta mai menumpang cari makan dengan kita (mai buat jahat jadi dajai pun ramai)...awat la depa jadi buta perut sampai lagu tu?

By joe on October 1, 2009 4:26 PM

Banyak perkara yg aku stuju dgn hang. Dengan umoq aku dah nak masuk stengah abad ni, dah lebih suku abad mengajaq dari sekolah rendah hingga ke sekolah menengah dan pernah buat part time di universiti, aku nampak ada perbezaan ketara antara cara berpikiaq dan bertindak pelajaq2 yg pernah aku ajaq.

Memang pelajaq2 melayu banyak kelemahan - tak suka bahasa inggeris (walau pun tahu pentingnya bahasa ni bila lepaih sekolah, masuk U, masuk kerja), mudah berputus asa, takut buat salah, takut dengan benda2 @ idea baru, jika gagal suka menyalahkan semua orang lain termasuk makbapak, guru, kawan2 kecuali diri sendiri, kurang usaha, suka buang masa melepak, main games, telefon, bercinta & seribu satu salahlaku yg terlalu banyak nak disenaraikan.

Malangnya lg, tak ramai yang mahu berubah bahkan malu nak berubah jadi lebih baik. Aku geram budak2 kita ni, kalu buat salah tak malu, tak solat, langgar peraturan sekolah, melawan guru, menggelar guru, jadi perosak hartabenda awam, merempit, berdua2an, bergaduh sesama sendiri, berebut jantan/betina, jadi bohsia, pengkid, softboy sikitpun tak malu, TETAPI nak belajaq elok2, nak mengaji Quran dengan betui, nak belajaq solat wajib & sunat, nak ambik peluang tanya cikgu, ustaz @ ustazah MALU plak. Yang peliknya lagi, makbapak pun 2x5x100. Anak dah kena buang, terhegeh2 mai dok merayu2, skali lg salahkan semua orang lain, sampai guna orang politik suruh sekolah terima balik anak depa walhal anak depa dah memang tak minat jadi orang!!! Yang macam mala'un ni lebih ramai dari yg segera insaf.

Tapi ada jugak yg sedaq awai dan bangkit dari kegagalan.

Ada sorang budak ni yg asyik failed english, hampir2 dia berputus asa sblm spm sebab trial dia dpt E8, cuma 32 markah. Tapi aku kata ka dia, ada masa lg, boleh pebaik kelemahan dia. dengan usaha bersama rakan2 senasib, dia tunggu hari2 lepas skolah tumpu pada banyak kesilapan2 kecik yg membawa kepada kesilapan besaq - spelling, vocabulary, grammar & mechanics of writing - spm dia score B3. Melompat sakan dia. Ramai lg yg mampu ubah keputusan G9/E8 jadi C6 ke atas.

Yang suka berusaha, bersiap sedia berterusan & betui2 bijak toksah cakapla. Bijak tapi merendah diri, mengaku tanpa bantuan guru, ibubapa, rakan2, sapalah mereka. Memang aku bangga bila ada pelajaq yg fon kata dapat p overseas pasai english depa score. Saban tahun ada saja yg tunggu nak pi UK, US, Aus, NZ, Jepun, Russia, Uzbek dll.

Dalam pada tu ada jugak jenih takla bijak mana tapi sombong bangang tak dak arah terutamanya yg perasan 'banana man' konon depa pandai sebab tuisyen luaq sekolah. Cakap pun 'broken' & sumbing. Padahal tuisyen master hanya tau ajaq depa hapai (memorize) sample essays & tulih balik yg tu jugak masa periksa. Nasibla kalau dapat result baik tapi kalu tak kena hari, tertungging! essay ciplak mana sama original punya!!! Puaih plak cikgu2 di sekolah dok tulung pebaik kesilapan bodoh depa tu...

Bagaimana nak mengubah nasib malang menjadi cemerlang? Peluang dan bantuan sedia ada - sekolah, guru2, bilik darjah, kerusi meja, bukuteks percuma, biasiswa, tabung itu ini- belajaqla dgn tekun. Tak payah tukaq warna bijik mata, kulit atau nama! Hanya melalui usaha berterusan dan tawakkal...

Pendek kata, ubahla perangai kita yg suka menyalahkan dasar2 yg telah dipersetujui bersama sejak sekian lama dan pihak kerajaan. Sejak dari sekolah sampai la dah beranak pinak bercucu cicit, asyik nak salahkan orang lain tapi tak pernah muhasabah diri. Kenapa gagal berjaya macam orang lain? Kenapa tak guna peluang yg ada untuk memajukan diri? Kenapa balik2 kerajaan yg salah? Di sekolah dapat peluang sama rata, kenapa tak belajar betui2? Bila gagal, susah cari kerja, takdak kelulusan setimpal, salah kerajaan??!!! Try la pi duduk negara lain?!!

Ada yg terlajak bijakpandai kata di Malaysia ni, mana2 pihak pun yg jadi kerajaan akan mampu sediakan kemudahan prasarana seperti yg ada hari ni. Toksah beranganla. Tengok negara2 yg merdeka lebihkurang sama dgn Malaysia di bahagian dunia lain, budak2 depa ada lagi yg tak dapat bersekolah, ada yg nak belajaq tapi tak dak sekolah, tak dak cikgu, kena hambat dgn rimau, dibaham boya & singa, lari dari junta tentera dan pemimpin2 suku kaum gila kuasa, tak dak serba serbi sebab kerajaan depa tak berkeupayaan dan berwibawa mengisi kemerdekaan mereka sebagaimana berjayanya kita dari zaman Tungku , Tun A Razak, Tun Hussein, Tun Mahadzir...dasar2 pelajaran yg dirangka membolehkan lahirnya cerdikpandai yg kebanyakannya hari ini meremehkan dasar dan kerajaan sendiri...mudah lupa sungguh. Bagi depa jadi kerajaan agaknya HANCOQ depa dok berebut kuasa dan bertelagah. Ada beberapa negeri diperintahpun, tak abih2 berbalah...ini pulak berangan nak ambik alih pemerintahan negra. Baik tak baik, mai pihak lain plak dok memerintah kita...boleh jadi Putrajaya pun kena juai...

Ada orang pulak bila gagal, susah cari makan, tak mahu berusaha lebih untuk mengubah nasib. Dan mengapa plak selalu menyalahkan nasib, menuduh semua orang dengki, suka menggunakan cara2 yg salah, menipu, merasuah, mengawal harta hinggakan sanggup menyusahkan ibubapa dan adik beradik sendiri, harta banyaksedikitpun diputarbelit, dan menyimpang dari akidah? Bengang sangat dgn orang yg suka cari & mintak tulung dengan segala bomoh, pawang, dukun bahkan sami untuk mengubah nasib dengan mengenakan orang! Itu syirik namanya...Allah SWT suruh usaha dengan cara yg baik, bertanya kepada alim yg berilmu, berdoa & tawakkal. MOGA DIPELIHARA DIRI INI, ANAK2 DAN KAUM KELUARGA DARI BERBUAT BEGITU. PERKENANKANLAH YA ALLAH...

Ayahnda Tun n Bonda,

Maafkan anaknda kerana meluahrasa. Dah lama tak masuk sini, sibuk peksa kertas trial & ke ulu ilir, balik kg raya, pi hantaq anak balik kolej, dah tu balik mai mengajaq, kerja lg...

Semoga Ayahnda Tun n Bonda & kita smua diberkati Allah SWT di dunia & hari kemudian, InsyaAllah.

Salam Tun,

Selamat Hari Raya to Tun and family. Reading your views and observations on the hari raya openhouse where people dont see colours or race reminded me of the same comment made by my friend Wendy Lau when i was invited to her Chinese New Year openhouse last year. Wendy said that the politicians made us remember the 'colour and race' but as friends we get along fine.. I definitely agree with her and even mentioned to her that my son is going out with a well- mannered chinese girl and the other son is dating a half-indian :)) and wendy said her daughter's best friend happens to be a malay girl who sleeps over frequently.

On another note, you remind me of my late father Harun Othman. He was in perikatan and later an umno man as bendahari in KL. What i'm alluding to is that my father had the vision of relocating his family from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur in 1958 because he believed that KL will be bigger and better than Sg in years to come. He also had a great leader in TAR who was a big influence on him. I used to hear great stories about umno and TAR from him which made me very puzzled as to why so many malaysians do not appreciate how lucky they are living in Malaysia. The little travels that i've had the opportunity to experience make me very proud to be a Malaysian and know how very lucky we are living in a very peaceful and harmonious country like Malaysia. The more i travel the more i miss home. That is why it riles me up every time when unsavoury demos led by an unsavoury leader tries to muck it up :(

Salam/dz By Capt.Jag2020Author Profile Page on October 2, 2009 11:33 AM

Assalamu'alaikum Dear Tun,

1) Alhamdulillah, Sir, so far Malaysia has managed to achieve all that we have enjoyed all these years (eventhough there are still much spaces to be filled in in order to improve) besides much hardwork and dedication, one of the most important factor contributing to the political stability of the country is the ability to handle and control the racial conflict especially for us that is well known to be comprised of multi-racial population. And during your leadership as the PM, this element was strictly and closely monitored, observed and controlled in order to ensure the smooth-running of the country. It actually takes both Art and Science to do that....and I have to admit Sir, there are not too many people out there that are able to deal with such issue. And that makes you both patron of Art and Science and undoubtedly one of it's great maestros.

2) Referring to your first point:- ' I don't know whether we should copyright open houses, but they are certainly a Malaysian invention'. Hmmm, speaking about invention, Maybe it's time for us Malaysian to keep up with and promote the culture of innovation, creativity and invention more prgressively in both art and science. It is worthwhile to note that, one of the most important ingredient for the developed nations to stay where they are today is much owed to this factor. Before we can even talk about the R&D development, we might want to start with ourselves first by having the 'paradigm shift' that we could actually do this, believing in ourselves as Malaysians that we are also capable to become one of the highest civilization the world has ever known given the right opportunity and resources.

3) Sir, to me one of the most important contribution of yours has been to spark and catalyze this spirit, build up our confidence as Malaysians particulalry the Malays and the Muslims thus motivated us to strive and reach for our dreams. And the spirit has been translated into the slogan of 'Malaysia Boleh'. The spirit has also allowed us to liberate our minds, by constantly questioning and evaluating the beliefs and values especially those that came from the first world countries so that it would be properly adapted and implemented in our Malaysian context. And this has also allowed us to achieve what we have achieved so far.

4) The message is quite simple....never allow ourselves (Malaysians) to be easily convinced and persuaded by any ideas or beliefs that could actually distrupt the equations of our progress, the consequences shall be fatal.

5) Thank You Tun for all your great contributions and excellent service.

6) May Allah be with us and grant us the great victory. Wassalam

Mereka pandai mengasak jawatan TPM diberi kepada kaum mereka tetapi tidak pula mahu mengalah untuk jawatan KM PP digilirkan. Berbeza dengan UMNO semasa menjadi kerajaan di PP, sanggup memberi jawatan KM kepada GERAKAN (meskipun ia tindakan yg tidak masuk akal). Inilah sifat mengalah tulen orang Melayu sehingga pihak lain seperti kaduk naik junjung yg saban hari mempertikaikan kek ekonomi orang Melayu yg sememangnya tidak seberapa.

Mereka kata DEB hanya mengayakan UMNO maka perlu dihapuskan sedangkan realitinya DEB lah yg membantu majoriti orang Melayu upgrade taraf hidup melalui pemberian biasiswa MARA dan JPA. Bahkan itu pun dipertikaikan oleh LKS beberapa bulan lepas. Kalau ada kepincangan DEB, maka hapuskan kepincangan itu bukan DEB keseluruhannya. Saya meminta pemimpin PAS yang beria-ria menyokong agenda DAP hapuskan DEB untuk bayangkan bagaimana kedudukan sosio ekonomi masyarakat majmuk Malaysia hari ini jika DEB tidak dilaksanakan pada 1970-an. Mungkin Hasan Ali hanya layak jadi penyapu sampah di deretan kedai Bukit Bintang dan Petaling Street. Saya setuju jika PAS memperjuangkan pembetulan semua DEB (pemberian tender, usahawan melayu tulen etc.) tetapi bersekongkol dengan puak ultrakiasu menghapuskan DEB merupakan tindakan bodoh.

Inilah akibatnya apabila agama tidak memandu kehidupan bangsa ultrakiasu ini. Agenda teratas hanyalah wang, wang dan wang sekalipun diperoleh melalui jalan salah. Lihat puak-puak Ah- Long dan majikan pembantu rumah yang sanggup memperlakukan manusia seperti binatang. Sedangkan kesalahan berpunca dari diri mereka sendiri. Dalam perbankan, istilah corporate governance merujuk pemberian pinjaman hanya kepada yg layak. Tapi, golongan ah long beri pinjaman kepada golongan yg sememangnya tidak mampu membayar semula seperti pekerja kilang dan ibu tunggal. Kadar faedah yg dikenakan juga merupakan yg tertinggi dalam dunia, dikira on daily basis. Mungkin boleh masuk World Guiness Record. By ezaniAuthor Profile Page on October 2, 2009 10:02 AM

Salam Tun

I am concerned about the state of the Royal Malaysian Police Force and the MACC after events that have been unfolded recently. The police I have been observing for few years (and reading about them in the newspapers) and every now and then we hear of (off the job) police personnel being caught in raids conducted by their fellow officers at clubs and entertainment outlets. I agree that there many more good police officers than the bad ones but I am very worried about recent trends and the ratio of good "straight" police officers and bad ones. We have also seen many western movies and TV series about good and bad police officer stories.

What concerns me is the case of a young Indian police officer claiming trial for beating up Kugan, also an Indian, the car thief at the Taipan USJ police station. It seems to me he is being made the "fall guy" because the coroner/examiner said Kugan's bodily injuries could certainly have been caused by more than one person. If this is true, then to me, this is a case of loopholes and weaknesses in our legal processes being manipulated. If true, then "all" those responsible should be found guilty not just one person being made the fall guy. Another case in point is the Altantuya murder. We still don't know what really happened.

My next point is about the MACC and the proceedings of te inquest which is currently ongoing. When the MACC tried to raise a stay of inquest to try to block T Sivanesan from telling the story that he may been "tortured" by "MACC officers", to me, it only served to show that they are admitting that they did so. If what T Sivanesan said is false, then why should the MACC be afraid to defend themselves and say what is the truth rather than trying to erase T Sivanesan's "confession" ? If the MACC officers really did do "physical" things to their suspects and witnesses, they should admit it. And this is true for the Malaysian Police also. I am not saying I support the bad guys such as thieves, murderers and rapists. If they are proven to be so ("thieves, murderers and rapists"), then they should be treated as such - harshly and without compassion - for the crimes they have committed.

But I believe innocent people should be protected and any wrongdoings should be exposed and corrected. The government, the police and the MACC should be completely transparent about this as responsible public officials of this lovely country.

Dearest Tun,

SELAMAT HARI RAYA.

We, the Malays are being disillusion. Many of the non-malays participated in the jamuan hari raya, not because they want to salam, maafkan yang lalu and live harmoniously with us. It is because the food is FREE and plenty. They will come with even family members, the more the merrier. Underneath, there is still harbouring of bad feelings. This is them, opportunist. They know Melayu mudah lupa, particularly at that moment, in the spirit of Hari Raya, the Malays are showing off, grap it. What comes later doesn’t count. So, politicians or not, there are of the similar nature.

Yesterday was all over the newspapers, China independent day. Many Malaysian Chinese selected and went proudly to observe. Why the eagerness? Do they show the same for the country Merdeka day? Do they even put up flags in their houses to celebrate? Aren’t they proud of this country where they now yearn to rule? Why want to rule when you don’t even appreciate it?

And on the Melayu mudah lupa, just before the now tragedy in Indonesia, Indonesian were about to launch war against Malaysia for the most trivial things. And now, on the call for humanitarian, funds, mostly from the Malay related organisations are being call to help them.

Unless the Malays know how to respect their honour, the others are just opportunist. No good deed is deem good to them and they will take advantage whenever possible.

I do live amongst them and have relatives through marriage. It is their basic nature..

Tun adalah pengasas Proton dan banyak polisi2 automotif negara yang ada sekarang wujud sejak pemerintahan Tun lagi....apa pandangan tun berkenaan link yang saya nyatakan diatas.

Sekian dan Terima Kasih love you tun

______

Salam kasih dan salam hormat Ayahanda Tun. Please, if I may be granted some leeway to respond to a fellow commenter Saudara Md.Aziz, on an issue concerning the automobile and their pricing structure in Malaysia. In the course of this comment, the good commenter had quoted writing by a one Syed Akbar Ali and I have also included the http link above for reference.

For the longest of time I have been telling those I fully believe could make that change in Malaysia over the much needed break at lowering our imported cars tariff and subsequently its pricing structure.

When this tax structure comes down, Proton and Perodua too would come have to come down lower to survive. We already have automation at work and the issue of job losses from drop in sales should not be a hindrance at all. If any, when prices become lower things would go by the volume and they would have to offer real values to consumers for survival.

Datuk Mustapa Mohamed (Stopa) is about to come out with a New Automotive Policy, one which we pray would be no more a half-past-six Badawi frame work of the worthless 2006 NAP kind. Stopa had mentioned, the new policy would try to cater best to the needs of importers and vendors. Stopa must send out a signal for a total revamp of this policy by the government. Starting with his ministry, it has to "catalyst" into subsequent other policy arms of the government, especially the MOF.

But I think Stopa got it wrong big time. It would be more politically correct and apt in this climate of political survivability for the good Minister to be saying “one that would cater to the need of consumers above all else”. I mean the good Stopa, for crying out loud may well have figured out that we the Malaysian motoring consumers have had enough crap with the left-over of Dollah/Khairy/T4AJK failed NAP. What 250% to 300% tariff nonsense must Malaysian motoring consumers still bear? Don’t the policy makers know that the consumers are paying through their nose and behind for the cheapest Viva on the market now?

A lot of monthly disposable income goes to paying for car installments in Malaysia and when cars have to be sky high in pricing, what you get is corporate bean counters cutting backs on essentials, like some essentials which are critical live saving equipments such as ABS, Airbags and NCAP safety ratings passive safety features. Vehicle ABS is 1940 technology, Airbags is late 60’s Detroit’s technology; and what I meant by latest active technology are devices such as Active Traction Control, Distronic and even GPS navigations which is coupled to the speed and proxy sensors of the vehicles for better driving. Those devices have been mass marketed in other countries for a good few years already by now and they are not exorbitantly expensive. When the government removes safety devices to make cars cheaper, then you stand to have bad statistics. Bad statistics with innocent human lives!

We have the aimless Highway Safety Board in Malaysia who’s just wasting air time on prime time TV when they failed to address issues such as the above! Don’t simply quote statistic based on number of mishaps and preventions, why not tell us how many percent of fatalities have been successfully avoided with the use of airbags in America, EU and even Australia? Why not crusade that kind of active safety in Malaysia? Why not crusade for a good reliable sized airbags?

When car prices are allowed to become lower, people would have to pay less for it and they would borrow less and this would give them more money to spend on other cycles of life necessities, this would make them more contented and this may very well give the government some boost. For your lost revenues you could cut throat some other ways with some other players for compensations. By giving back more money for the people to spend the government would be creating a less debt prone society, less loan-sharking activities would ensue and cheaper price cycle in almost all market and economic segments would finally be allowed to take place. In short, this would increase the quality/value of life for Malaysians.

Malaysian motoring consumers have had enough of this really. I am greatly disappointed by the government policy of raising the MPV H/P rates to 3.5% at the launching of the Exora. See where the Exora is now? You don’t make new friends with this kind of policies. However we must stop all kinds of Proton bashing by now. We must clearly draw the line between politicians, senior corporate players and the hard working Proton men and women. Proton must at last be allowed to become our pride and joy, the delight of a nation again but in all the proper and respected ways. We have to draw lines and separate politicians/senior corporate players and the hard innocent workings of businesses (workers unions, etc).

You know, non-profit homes are making do driving children around in 25 year old vans with mismatch doors and seats – just as long as it moves and even the good hearted Puspakom inspected with much compassion on them. But how about the government? Still trigger happy at the statistics with the 250% to 300% tariff and import tax? Don’t penalize us into driving Protons and Perodua only! Some of the rakyats would still buy a Mercedes even if it’s for a silly half a million RM! And you are telling us to get a loan for half a million on a German piece of metal and the banks would tell us to take a 12 years loan on it. You think that piece of metal would be worth half a million an hour out of the showroom? You think the loan would be safe at half a million on four wheels? What is the value of half a million RM now? 1 year down the line when you have to repossess the car over faulty payments, how much would that piece of crap still be worth? So who lose in the end?

On some cars its even two financing in one shot; credit card for down payment (they/their kaki in banks, would even help you apply for a gold card to max out here on down payment!) and conventional bank financing for the rest – that’s what some advert means by 100% or even 120% financing with the gray importers - that is one way, I’ve checked.

The business module here is greed driven market sentiment. That has to stop beginning with car trade and prices. Where the monies and all hard cash went to? No wonder our cost of living is high and we are a debt prone society! A policy like this from the government is devaluing our own currencies and people! They must realize this and fix things.

It’s high time the PM does something about this. Maybe the people wants to see some actions, maybe they want to see the PM separated from the usual lethargies of tired governance and its heavy bureaucracy. Help the people, give them back their hard earned cash liquidity, give them back the ability to buy the very best their hard earned cash could honestly afford, and to be able to offer their families a safer and comfortable ride around.

That beginning has to come from Najib himself; he has to show us that he cares for lives more over potential loss of tariffs and the AP holder’s greed. He has to be able to control all banks from being able to lobby for a raise with the H/P rates at the break of any impending tariffs reductions. He must be able to stop corporate players from lobbying for protectionism policies at the expense of the hard working rakyat each time they feel insecure with their products. Malaysians has awakened, don’t sleep anymore Big G.

Make ABS and SRS compulsory safety equipments on all new cars. Put Proton and Perodua to NCAP regime. I would like to see their figures. As for now only NAZA is doing so with Inokom. Give back spending power and hard earned cash liquidity to the rakyat.

I hope no government man would come up next and says that driving with ABS and SRS is not all what its make out to be as a means of putting issue to rest. Review the 3.5 H.P on MPV. It has Protectionism Policy all over it. By the way things are and at the snail pace things are going now with the Big G, an Anti Trust Law and Workers Union agendas would be a good platform for a campaign at next round PRU.

Betul tulisan sdr. Air jernih dikocak oleh ahli politik sampai keruh, sampai semua orang tak sedap nak minum. Saya setuju dan sokong seruan sdr. Kita bidas dan tolak pendapat berbau kaum mrk seberapa boleh dan sendiri jalankan kehidupan mcm biasa. Memang di luar sana tak kecoh pun.

Betul juga kata Tun, rakyat tidak membenci sesama bangsa. Hanya orang politik dan penyokong mrk yg melaga lagakan rakyat dgn laungan dan seruan mrk. Banyak dari mrk membanjiri chedet.cc melepaskan pendapat perkauman. Tuan rumah patut bertanggung jawab terhadap ini.

Tulisan saya pun membalas dan menyangkal pendapat perkauman. Saya waspada tidak menghina, mengutuk bangsa tapi perbuatan penyokong chedet atau Umno saja. Kalau nampak mcm perkauman krn ia bergelut dgn tulisan perkauman terkena hanyir bukan bawa hanyir.

Dear our beloved Tun,

I’m truly in support on the idea of having Sekolah Wawasan for our kids.

Dear readers

Let us think the similarity of goals on having the Open Houses and the Sekolah Wawasan.

Open Houses – People from different races can eat free foods, huh? It’s okay. What else? We can meet (having chat or even mengumpat?) and say good things to each other. Wishing Happy Hari Raya, Gong Xi Faa Chai, Merry X’mas, Happy Diwali, Gawai Guru Gerai Nyamai, Happy Keamatan and etc etc to our friends without thinking that we are from different races, right?

Sekolah Wawasan – Pupils (our kids!) from different races and backgrounds can eat (of course not for free) at the same canteen. What else? Let’s think harder. Say good things to each other? Having a chat or mengumpat? Making friends? Playing (or even fighting?) on the same field?

Folks! Let’s have Sekolah Wawasan for our kids! No more excuses please! Say no to all those racist politicians (the one who had strongly objected the idea of having Sekolah Wawasan)!

P.S: To nj, jebatmustdie, satd, psytroopers, zazaland and the rest; The idea promoted by the satusekolahuntuksemua.wordpress.com is also quite good to be considered by the Govt BUT I think those racist activists and politicians won’t let it happen that easy.

Anyway, good luck! By dalAuthor Profile Page on October 1, 2009 9:27 PM

"4. Malaysia has different schools for different races. They also live in racial ghettoes, speaking their own languages and promoting their own cultures. Few have friends not from their language groups. They really never get a chance to truly mix with each other. We are truly different from Thailand or Indonesia or the Philippines or indeed any other country in the world."

May I suggest One School For All. By JamalAuthor Profile Page on October 1, 2009 9:14 PM

Dear Tun,

Everyone knows for a fact that we are different. Be it race, religion and what have you. For that matter those in the same race are also different.

So everyone is different. However, we are also all the same. We are all humans.

The Open House thing is when we go back to our original human nature or our Fitrah. We all are good peace loving people who want to be happy.

As we grow up we are shaped by our environment, up-bringing, experiences, education,etc...thats when we start to see things, act and response dfferently to the same things.

Humans are after all creatures of the enviroment. But our Fitrah says otherwise. And our fitrah does not care about colour or creed. Just look at our little children when they interact; is race a barrier to them? No. It is we the parents who inculcate views in them about other races.

So at the open house, went we free ourselves of the biases (for whatever reason -some say the free food, some say the joy of meeting people) - we have gone back to our Fitrah - I suppose.

In any event I believe all this talk about racism is misplaced.

Its NOT racism that is creating the unhappiness - its actually the feeling of being treated unfairly, of feeling being unjustly treated, of feeling of being oppressed even.

So the prognosis it that its not about racism - but the feeling of being treated unfairly.

If this is the case then the goverment needs to think of ways to make the people feel that they are NOT being unfairly treated. Don't focus on race but on how to make the various groups of people feel that they have not be unfairly or unjustly treated by the goverment. By dalAuthor Profile Page on October 1, 2009 9:09 PM

1. orang melayu buka kedai runcit. waktu mula2 barang penuh kedai. barang tersusun kemas dan rapi. pelanggan masuk tak berenti2. last2 sekali barang makin kurang. dalam kedai makin tak teratur. pelanggan pun makin kurang. sudahnya hidup segan mati tak mau. bila ditanya kenapa dengan kedai awak "kena buatan orang" "orang dengki" itu mungkin jawapan yg biasa kita dengar. bukan semua yg jadi mcm tu, tapi ramai. 2. orang cina buka kedai runcit. beberapa tahun kemudian menjadi mini market. selang tak berapa lama jadi pasaraya. bila disapa "wow taukey u manyak untung nooo, dari kedai runcit sudah jadi pasaraya". taukey jwb "tak ader laa, mana ada untung manyak punya, ini pinjam bank punya". taukey jawab merendah diri jer .. low profile. 3. orang melayu buka bengkel baiki kenderaan. waktu mula2 sesak dengan kenderaan untuk dibaiki. pekerja pun ramai tapi sebahgian besar budak pelatih dari IKBN, Giat Mara, Kolej Komuniti etc. pekerja yg terlatih pun ada. pekerja semua melayu. masa berjalan. makin lama makin kurang orang hantar kenderaan. sudahnya hidup segan mati tak mau juga. jumpa kawan yg dulu selalu hantar keta repair kat bengkel tu, tanya dia, dia pun jwb "eh, kau gi hantar keta kau tempat lain lah, aku dah kena laa" itu nasihat darinya. bukan semua mcm tu, tapi ramai. 4. orang cina buka bengkel baiki kenderaan. waktu mula2 merangkak ajer. tak berapa nak ada keta. cuma ada taukey dan sorang pekerja saja (sudah tentulah bangsa cina). boleh ada masa tengok paper lagi. kemudian pelan2 bilangan keta bertambah. bilangan pekerja pun bertambah juga lah sebab dah banyak kerja. selepas beberapa tahun bengkel semakin membesar, pekerja semakin ramai (90% cina, kalau ada melayu pun adalah sorang gadis setakat jadi kerani jer). beberapa tahun kemudian dibawah taukey yg sama juga selain perkidmatan enjin, ada pula perkhidmatan tayar & bateri. masa berjalan nama bengkel meniti dari mulut ke mulut (pelanggan melayu lah). tau2 taukey yg sama juga buka bengkel spray keta pula. habis sebiji keta punya urusan repair dia yg control. apa kata mat, "lagi senang aper, keta aku dari awal lg memang si ah chong ni yg buat, dia dah tau apa penyakitnya". abu tanya, "dia okey ker". mat jawab, "kalau tak okey dah lama aku belah gi tempat lain". 5. sebenarnya banyak lagi yang boleh saya kongsikan. semua itu bukan saya reka2. ia merupakan realiti yg saya lalui dan temui disepanjang saya berurusan. banyak pengalaman yg saya kutip yg membuatkan saya berkata kepada diri saya "bangsa aku banyak kekurangannya". pengalaman saya sebagai pelanggan (peruncitan, bengkel dan construction). saya sebagai pengguna jalan raya, saya sebagai insan yg cuba hendak berbakti (berbuat kpd seseorang yg tak dikenali), saya sebagai orang yg berurusan dgn orang yg tinggi ilmu agamanya) dan banyak lagi. kadang2 saya berkata kepada diri saya "barangkali tuhan memilih aku untuk mengalami semua ini, supaya aku dapat berfikir dan mahasabah tentang bangsa ku sendiri"

Kalau jual harga mahal tak boleh, jual harga murah rugi. Yang lagi satu, jual murah pun untung lagi tak kisah. Nak masuk pasaran, tidak diberi peluang, tertutup rapat.

Yang Berbahagia Tun dan pengunjung sekelian,

Sudah banyak telah diperkatakan soal sistem persekolahan yang ada kini. Saya terbaca satu ungkapan yang saya rasa paling tepat sekiranya kita semua sayangkan negara kita ini. Ianya berbunyi:-

"To build a nation, build a school"

Sekiranya tidak silap, Professor Khoo Kay Kim memetik ungkapan ini dalam salah satu tulisan beliau.

Terdapat sekumpulan bloggers yang prihatin terhadap perkara ini. Mereka inginkan suatu sistem pendidikan yang dapat melahirkan sebuah negara yang benar-benar utuh dan bersatupadu dengan identiti yang satu, yakni MALAYSIA,bukan identiti melayu, cina, tamil dsb.

Apa yang saya fahami sedikit sebanyak, mereka ini sedang berusaha supaya:-

1. Kerajaan membuat kajian yang mendalam terhadap dasar atau sistem pendidikan yang ada sekarang dengan mengambilkira soal membina negara, bukannya hanya semata-mata mementingkan soal untuk dapat banyak "A" saja dlm peperiksaan.

2. Jangan ada lagi sekolah-sekolah yang berpecah belah, masing-masing dengan hala tuju sendiri hinggakan membelakangi kehendak Rukun Negara & Perlembagaan serta tidak menghormati langsung Akta Bahasa Kebangsaan.

3. Serapkan semua sekolah yang ada kini di bawah satu sistem persekolahan, yakni Sekolah Kebangsaan / Nasional di mana segala peruntukan dan bantuan dapat disalurkan sama rata kerana tiada lagi sekolah-sekolah yang berbeza seperti SK, SRJK etc.

Untuk 1-Malaysia, DS Najib mungkin bolehlah merenung kembali kepada perkara asas seperti penggunaan BAHASA. Blog 1-Malaysia beliau meletakkan Bahasa Inggeris ditempat pertama, baru diikuti oleh Bahasa Kebangsaan, kemudian bahasa Cina(?) dan baru-baru ini bahasa Tamil pula! Kenapa tidak buat untuk bahasa-bahasa lain juga seperti Bahasa Iban, Kadazan, Bajau, Murut, Dayak, Senoi, Jakun, Thai, Urdu, Benggali, Tionghua, Baso Kelate, Ganung, Den Lopeh, dan bermacam-macam lagi bahasa-bahasa yang di pertuturkan oleh rakyat Malaysia???.

DS Najib keliru ke di antara Bahasa Kebangsaan/Bahasa Rasmi dan Bahasa Ibunda? 1-Malaysia bercakap dengan SATU BAHASA RASMI bukannya Bahasa Ibunda yang berbilang-bilang itu sehingga letih orang nak paparkan semua bahasa-bahasa itu!

Kalau dalam soal bahasa pun (yang menjadi kunci kearah perpaduan sesuatu bangsa itu) kita sudah berpecah belah, lebih teruk lagi jika ianya dianjurkan oleh PM sendiri, bagaimana anak ketam tu nak berjalan dengan betul?

Jadi, saya berharaplah agar sidang pengunjung di sini dapat membantu mereka-mereka yang sedang berusaha gigih untuk membina negara ini dengan memberi buah fikiran masing-masing ke arah mencapai satu SISTEM PENDIDIKAN yang baik agar negara kita cinta ini akan terbina utuh dari anak-anak watan yang dididik sejak di bangku sekolah lagi; yang benar-benar mempunyai semangat cintakan MALAYSIA.

Minta tuan-tuan semua layari dan menyumbangkan pendapat masing-masing di:- http://satusekolahuntuksemua.wordpress.com/ agar kita semua sama-sama berusaha memberi pandangan kepada Kerajaan, khususnya Kementerian Pelajaran serta juga menegur ahli-ahli politik supaya jangan menggadai negara ini dengan agenda kepentingan peribadi masing-masing, tak kiralah dari parti mana sekali pun ahli- ahli politik ini.

Salam.

For me,its one of the interesting events...banyak maklumt yg boleh saya dapat, memandangkan ia juga turut ada kaitan dengan bidang yg saya pelajari sekarang - diploma pentadbiran awam..selain itu, saya juga amat tertarik untuk membuat sedikit kajian pada topik yang akan Tun kupaskan pada hari itu nanti kerana bagi saya, konsep "ketuanan melayu" amat bertentangan dengan konsep yg dibawa oleh Dato' Seri Najib (sekarang)- iaitu "satu malaysia"...

U r my id0l!!! luv u lots!!! p/s: harap dapat bejumpa,mengenali dengan lebih dekat lagi serta berpeluang untuk bergambar bersama sebagai kenangan bersama Tun pada hari tersebut nanti..:p

Salam, Saya sependapat dengan" n.ajis on September 29, 2009 5:19 PM".

1. ******Tan Sri Jin Shamsuddin : Pakar Perfileman********* Saya masih ingat dalam suatu temuramah TV beberpa tahun dahulu, Tan Sri Jin Shamsuddin (pakar perfileman Malaysia yang masih ada) pernah berkata untuk memahami sifat atau budaya sesuatu kaum dengan lebih mudah ialah dengan melihat rancangan TV (movies) . Saya bidang teknikal dan tiada kaitan dengan Tan Sri Jins Shamsuddin kecuali sama2 Muslim.

2. ****Budaya sesuatu kaum mudah difahami dengan lebih jelas dengan tengok cerita TV****** Jadi nak tahu perangai orang putih England, tengok cerita TV dari England. Nak tahu perangai orang India tengok cerita Tamil dan Hindustan. Nak tahu perangai orang Cina, tengok cerita Cina Kantonis & Mandarin dari Taiwan, Hong Kong, mainland China. Kerana ianya diwujudkan khusus kepada sasarannya untuk mendapat pasaran. Setiap cerita TV ini melalui proses penelitian yang rapi sebelum diterbitkan untuk pasaran untuk menjamin keuntngan. Sudah tentu penerbitnya akan buat kajian mendalam agar rancangan TV mereka mendapat sambutan menggalakkan.

Nak tahu perangai kebanyakan orang Melayu, tengoklah cerita Melayu. Ada cerita Mat Rempit, cerita orang kaya berlagak dan sombong, cerita orang kampung miskin, cerita "merapu", cerita cinta "tak kira tua dan muda",dan macam2 jenis cerita.

Kena tengok semua jenis cerita, baru dapat gambaran sekurang2nya hampir tepat tentang kaum tertentu. Ada cerita orang kaya zalim yang miskin (cerita Tamil) . Ada cerita pengkianatan anak murid kepada guru(cerita Kung Fu), kawan aniaya kawan( cerita Cina)dan macam2. Ada cerita orang baik dan cerita orang jahat.

3.**** Pusat Penyelidikan Kebudayaan******* Tidak boleh dinafikan orang Melayu lebih berpengetahuan dan berpengalaman di Malaysia dalam industri hiburan/perfileman.(Serious bukan perli ye). Gunakan kepakaran ini untuk kebaikan semua . Mungkin dengan semangat 1Malaysia, kerajaan mewujudkan Pusat Penyelidikan Kebudayaan diterajui ole FINAS yang terdiri dari pelbagai pakar2 termasuk bidang perfileman, politik, akademia dan lain2 untuk mengupas sifat2 pelbagai kaum terutamanya di Malaysia supaya DIFAHAMI SEJELAS2NYA untuk semua kaum jika hendak hidup aman dan tenteram di bumi bertuah Malaysia ini.

4. ******Punca Perkauman********* Masalah perkauman di Malaysia bermula dari zaman penjajahn British. Depa punya hal,kita kena tanggung! Depa tinggalkan pelbagai masalah perkauman di semua negara bekas jajahan mereka. Mana tahu satu hari nanti cucu cicit depa dan konco2 depa dapat memerintah semula. Lihatlah perkauman di India , negara2 Afrika kesan jajahan British.

Alangkah baiknya negara kita dapat dikembalikan semula kepada zaman sebelum pemerintahan British! Tiada perkauman! Tiada parti politik! Tiada ahli politik! By I See Stupid PeopleAuthor Profile Page on October 1, 2009 6:17 PM

Saudara Faa, Saya berharap saudara dapat ke negara yang anda telah ceritakan yakni HK,Singapura, Taiwan dan Singapura malah Thailand. Lihat pembangunan mereka. Nak jadi macam mereka, mimpi mungkin. Kita hanya mampu mengurangkan lagi jurang pembangunan yang semakin memisahkan kita dengan mereka. Saya setuju dengan kata2 saudara bahawa orang2 Melayu sudah pandai dan mampu bersaing dan atas dasar inilah kita mahu liberalisasi dilakukan ... we are all ready. Apa yang perlu ditunggu? YAB PM telah memulakan langkah pertama dan saya memberi pujian kepada beliau kerana beliau nampak orang2 Melayu sudah boleh bersaing dan tidak ada asasnya untuk memberi perlindungan yang melampau sehingga membantut pembangunan negara.

Ya, apa nak dikata. By joeAuthor Profile Page on October 1, 2009 4:26 PM

Tun.

1 ni bukan nak bodek yer. ni pendapat freebody saya. keadaan orang melayu banyak berubah daripada kurang baik kepada baik sikit, terjadi masa tun jadi PM lah. orang melayu yg kurang peluang untuk belajar tinggi, dapat banyak peluang belajar tinggi pun terjadi masa tun jadi PM juga. bertambahnya bilangan professional melayu spt doktor, jurutera, professor dan mcm2 lg lah itu pun masa tun juga. melayu jadi kaya jadi jutawan, pakai keta besar dan bini besar, pun masa tun lah benda tu dicapai. melayu digalak dan dibantu mencebur bidang perniagaan, berlaku zaman tun jadi ketua negara juga.

2. kepada anda yg tak berkenan dengan tun, harap jgn lah menyampah pulak. benda elok, kita kena kata elok lah. yg tak elok pun ada sebab tun ni bukan malaikat, dia pun orang mcm kita juga. kalau kita sebut hak yg elok, kita boleh perelok lagi supaya bertambah elok. kalau kita sebut hak yang buruk, kita boleh perburuk lagi supaya bertambah buruk. maksud saya masa tun juga lah penagihan dadah dikalangan anak muda melayu menjadi2, maka mahukah kita selepas tun dah tak jadi PM kita nak menambah ramaikan lagi bilangan anak muda melayu yg jadi penagih dadah.

3. berbalik kepada pertambahan bilangan melayu yg menceburi dunia perniagaan daripada peruncit hingga kpd pasaraya. daripada pengedar kpd pengeluar. tapi bilangannya "not sustainable" (tak kekal)dan "not expanding" (tak berkembang).

Cuba fikir-fikirkan. WHY ???? dan KENAPA ?????? jadi begitu (please read below)

2. orang cina buka kedai runcit. beberapa tahun kemudian menjadi mini market. selang tak berapa lama jadi pasaraya. bila disapa "wow taukey u manyak untung nooo, dari kedai runcit sudah jadi pasaraya". taukey jwb "tak ader laa, mana ada untung manyak punya, ini pinjam bank punya". taukey jawab merendah diri jer .. low profile.

3. orang melayu buka bengkel baiki kenderaan. waktu mula2 sesak dengan kenderaan untuk dibaiki. pekerja pun ramai tapi sebahgian besar budak pelatih dari IKBN, Giat Mara, Kolej Komuniti etc. pekerja yg terlatih pun ada. pekerja semua melayu. masa berjalan. makin lama makin kurang orang hantar kenderaan. sudahnya hidup segan mati tak mau juga. jumpa kawan yg dulu selalu hantar keta repair kat bengkel tu, tanya dia, dia pun jwb "eh, kau gi hantar keta kau tempat lain lah, aku dah kena laa" itu nasihat darinya. bukan semua mcm tu, tapi ramai.

4. orang cina buka bengkel baiki kenderaan. waktu mula2 merangkak ajer. tak berapa nak ada keta. cuma ada taukey dan sorang pekerja saja (sudah tentulah bangsa cina). boleh ada masa tengok paper lagi. kemudian pelan2 bilangan keta bertambah. bilangan pekerja pun bertambah juga lah sebab dah banyak kerja. selepas beberapa tahun bengkel semakin membesar, pekerja semakin ramai (90% cina, kalau ada melayu pun adalah sorang gadis setakat jadi kerani jer). beberapa tahun kemudian dibawah taukey yg sama juga selain perkidmatan enjin, ada pula perkhidmatan tayar & bateri. masa berjalan nama bengkel meniti dari mulut ke mulut (pelanggan melayu lah). tau2 taukey yg sama juga buka bengkel spray keta pula. habis sebiji keta punya urusan repair dia yg control. apa kata mat, "lagi senang aper, keta aku dari awal lg memang si ah chong ni yg buat, dia dah tau apa penyakitnya". abu tanya, "dia okey ker". mat jawab, "kalau tak okey dah lama aku belah gi tempat lain".

5. sebenarnya banyak lagi yang boleh saya kongsikan. semua itu bukan saya reka2. ia merupakan realiti yg saya lalui dan temui disepanjang saya berurusan. banyak pengalaman yg saya kutip yg membuatkan saya berkata kepada diri saya "bangsa aku banyak kekurangannya". pengalaman saya sebagai pelanggan (peruncitan, bengkel dan construction). saya sebagai pengguna jalan raya, saya sebagai insan yg cuba hendak berbakti (berbuat kpd seseorang yg tak dikenali), saya sebagai orang yg berurusan dgn orang yg tinggi ilmu agamanya) dan banyak lagi. kadang2 saya berkata kepada diri saya "barangkali tuhan memilih aku untuk mengalami semua ini, supaya aku dapat berfikir dan mahasabah tentang bangsa ku sendiri"

6. jangan kita salahkan orang lain diatas kegagalan kita. kita salahkan diri kita sendiri, supaya kita terasa kesal lalu ingin memperbaiki diri untuk menebus kegagalan. untuk peminat blog TM ini, saya alu2kan jika anda bersedia untuk berkongsi pengalaman dan buah fikiran untuk kemajuan bangsa melayu seperti yg tun inginkan semasa beliau menjadi PM dan selepas daripada itu.

Dear our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir,

It is quite weird for us to notice that some people do love free foods in open houses but at the same time refused to accept national school which is also free (fully-funded by the Govt)!

When you write like this and continue writing in this manner, the good intellectual side of you is able to generate a calming influence on the country.

Please do help to promote common sense, fairness, justice and especially devotion to duty of those we are administering this country. In many ways our country has become a joke.

Semasa Dahulu pada tahun 70an dan 80an tidak ada terdengar masalah Pekauman di Negara ini. Mungkin pemimpin pemimpin kita yang dahulu sedar berapa pentingnya kehormanian bangsa didalam Negara kita.maka tidak dibawa isu-isu ini kepermukaan awam dan mungkin dibincangkan diperingkat atasan dan tertutup. Tapi sekarang nampak gooyah dan goyang kehormanian ini akibat pemimpin-pemimpin lantang bercakap di khalayak ramai. Surat-surat khabar pula menjadikan isu-isu ini dihadapan muka surat akhbar>(mungkin nak dapat jualan laris kot).

Semua ini ada hubungan didalam menjaga kehormanian negara., maka kita seharusnya balik kembali kepada dasar dahulu yang telah terbukti dan berjaya.

Kadang-kadang Ahli-ahli politik hendak mendapat perhatian dan popular murahan isu-isu ini lah yang akan ditimbulkan dan akhirnya mendapat perhatian didalam akhbar, maka orang seperti ini harus dimasukkan dahulu kedalam ISA. Tak perlu melihat latarbelakang mahupun parti mana diwakilinya.

YAB Tun Dan Ahli Blogger Yang Disayangi,

Kerana kami cintakan negara ini, keranamu Malaysia ...

Perlu ditekankan di sini, tiada orang yang mahu mencari perbalahan dalam isu perkauman. Semasa saya berada di luar negara, adakalanya saya agak malu dengan pembangunan negara. Kita terlalu ketinggalan dan kerana cintakan negara ini maka kami mahu kerajaan membuka pasaran dan ini akan menjadikan kita lebih berdaya saing. Kita bukan nak menyusahkan orang Melayu. Kita mahu semua menuju ke era baru yang lebih berdaya saing, bukan lagi bahan ketawaan dunia. Untuk mengurangkan lagi masalah perkauman negara, berikut adalah cadangan saya, 1) Buku sejarah mesti diubah agar sumbangan setiap kaum diambil kira. Adalah amat melampau apabila sumbangan kaum yang lain dilupakan. Negara ini tidak akan sampai ke hari ini hanya dengan sumbangan satu kaum saja. Mustahil.

2) Dialog antara agama perlu digiatkan dan diperbesarkan agar sentiviti semua agama difahami. Insiden kepala lembu memang menyedihkan.

3) Pembangunan negara lain perlu didedahkan malalui media agar kita tidak terlalu bangga dengan pembangunan yang sedia ada sehingga lupa kita berada di dalam keadaan yang agak ketinggalan.

Saudara Faa,

Saya berharap saudara dapat ke negara yang anda telah ceritakan yakni HK,Singapura, Taiwan dan Singapura malah Thailand. Lihat pembangunan mereka. Nak jadi macam mereka, mimpi mungkin. Kita hanya mampu mengurangkan lagi jurang pembangunan yang semakin memisahkan kita dengan mereka. Saya setuju dengan kata2 saudara bahawa orang2 Melayu sudah pandai dan mampu bersaing dan atas dasar inilah kita mahu liberalisasi dilakukan ... we are all ready. Apa yang perlu ditunggu? YAB PM telah memulakan langkah pertama dan saya memberi pujian kepada beliau kerana beliau nampak orang2 Melayu sudah boleh bersaing dan tidak ada asasnya untuk memberi perlindungan yang melampau sehingga membantut pembangunan negara.

Keranamu Malaysia bukan keranamu orang Cina, Orang India atau Melayu... Jangan pentingkan diri sendiri sehingga mengabaikan negara...

Aku bangga menjadi Anak Malaysia!

Salam Tun,

Well bro tunnusantara... I agreed with u, all of us here dun like "Kuku Besi" but for our country then it is like no choice becos we are like neither here nor neither there situation... and well I'm not comparing with SG only, I'm comparing with Brunei too if u read me well... And well, do u think is tat really bad for our King to rule Malaysia just like Sultan Bolkiah??? Well i rather support to "Ketuanan Melayu" than "Ketuanan UMNO"

If i'm in a position that can twist the constitution then I must be very powerful person here. No one brave enuf able to twist it but we can voice it... Just tat we have to think deeply about the root cause of the problem splitting us up... Its not about Vision school, not about the media, not about anything... Eventhough you put all races together, it is still the same... Look at Sekolah Kebangsaan canteen, chinese sitting 1 group, malay sitting 1 group even football team conquer by Indians becos the captain is Indian, which happen to my SK school la and some schools I known...

For the non-bumi, sending them to vision school is like brain-washing them... Its not my thinking but its a fact out there... It serve just a short term, after they join on the working society and learned about the unfairness, corruptions, etc, then back to square wun... Jus like me, when im in SK, I'm 100% support BN. I even went on debate and say how good is BN when my peers opposed me. When later come out from school to college to work then only we realize the real situation in Malaysia becos we've been hide from the truth...

Living in Malaysia is so so complicated... red tape here n there... Wanna help the country oso very hard...either u kena exiled, thrown out from the building, or kena shoot at point blank. I really likes wat Tun said how good it is if we dont have politics which messdup everything and there's whr my thinking of malay monarchy comes into picture to scrap out all the useless parties... Yes.. Long live the King... By PsyTroopersAuthor Profile Page on October 1, 2009 3:14 PM

Tun yang dikasihi,

Spesis yang asyik membangkang usaha perpaduan melalui pendidikan ini tidak ubah macam dalam cerita P Ramlee, filem bertajuk Anak Bapak.

Adegan dalam mahkamah.

Peguam Cik Normah: Saya bangkang Yang Arif!

Hakim A.R Tompel: Berapa banyak mahu bangkang daaaa...Asyik bangkang sahaja, bila mau habis bicara?

Siapa kata Tun tak pernah berbuat apa-apa? Mereka tu yang sebenarnya asyik membangkang! http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=2003&dt=1028&pub=utusan_malaysia&sec=Ren cana&pg=re_02.htm&arc=hive http://satusekolahuntuksemua.wordpress.com/ By PsyTroopersAuthor Profile Page on October 1, 2009 3:04 PM

Ayahanda Tun yang dikasihi,

Nampaknya rakyat Malaysia lebih gemar menyalahkan Tun dengan tohmahan bahawa Tun tak berbuat apa-apa untuk menyatupadukan rakyat seawal sekolah rendah semasa Tun menjadi PM.

Mereka-mereka ini mungkin terlupa dengan idea Sekolah Wawasan yang diilhamkan oleh Tun. Idea Sekolah Wawasan yang menggabungkan pelbagai sekolah dalam satu kawasan ini pun, telah dengan kurang ajarnya dibangkang dengan keras oleh mereka-mereka ini.

Cuba pengunjung tengok balik semula, siapa yang membangkang keras idea Sekolah Wawasan ini? Tengok semula arkib-arkib berita. Mereka-mereka yang jenis inilah! Tak ada orang lain dah. Spesis yang sama sahaja. Spesis ultra kiasu!

Mereka yang jenis inilah yang selalunya memperlekehkan usaha yang dibuat hanya kerana satu sebab: Mereka sebenarnya tidak akan menyokong pun apa-apa usaha ke arah perpaduan melalui sistem pendidikan. Kalau Sekolah Wawasan pun sudah dibangkang dan diperlekeh sebegitu hebat, agaknya adakah puak-puak cauvinis ini akan menyokong usaha ke arah satu sekolah?

Dan malangnya ada yang tersesat masuk ke dalam blog Tun untuk menjual sikap cauvinisnya. Pergi main jauh-jauh. Tak ada orang nak beli di sini. http://satusekolahuntuksemua.wordpress.com/ By Hajar AlwiAuthor Profile Page on October 1, 2009 2:40 PM

Well said. Amongst commonfolks like us, I believe 'Open Houses' is just one of the various ways we propogate unification; without even realizing we are doing it. That is until someone initate some kind of deliberated racial tensions. Differences, are there. But it is our choice, to acknowledge and embrace it; or to claim it as a barrier. :) By joeAuthor Profile Page on October 1, 2009 2:16 PM

Salam Tun

1. saya rasa jemu bila baca komen2 dari peminat blog ini. masing2 duk bangkit isu yg berbau perkauman dan racist. saya tak tau mana satu yg betul. penulis melayu kata penulis bukan melayu racist, penulis bukan melayu pula kata penulis melayu yang racist. nampaknya tak berkesudahan. tak berfaedah kepada keharmoniam negara.

2. kalau negara kita ni lingkup kerana rakyat bergaduh sama sendiri, semua akan dapat susah tak kira melayu, tak kira cina, tak kira india. semua akan menderita.

3. kita rakyat biasa sebenarnya tak ada masalah diantara kita. kita melayu, cina dan india boleh bekerja dalam satu ofis, boleh duduk minum satu meja ... hari ini melayu belanja minum, esok gilir cina belanja minum dan lusa giliran india belanja minum pula. itulah realitinya bila 3 bangsa ini bekerja dalam satu ofis dan bersahabat. tak ada masaalah pun.

4. TETAPI keadaan ini boleh berubah. perasaan curiga mencurigai boleh terjadi. keakraban perhubungan diambil tempat oleh kerenggangan. keharmonian hubungan diganti dengan perpecahan. Ahmad, Ah Seng dan Muthu tak semesra dulu lagi walau pun dalam satu ofis. hubungan sekadar atas urusan kerja semata. Ahmad tak lagi keluar minum semeja dengan Ah Seng dan Muthu. Kita tak tau siapa yang elak siapa, siapa yg boikot siapa.

5. Ahmad ahli UMNO, Ah Seng ahli MCA dan Muthu ahli MIC. walaupun demikian mereka tidak pernah bersembang politik dalam pergaulan sehari harian mereka bertiga.

6. TETAPI dek kerana termakan dengan isu2 panas yg dibangkitkan oleh pemimpin parti masing2 yg membuat kenyataan yg saling serang menyerang, ungkit mengungkit dan tuntut menuntut .. maka tempias nya turut mereka rasai sebagai individu bila mana menyentuh kepentingan etnik mereka. sudahnya mereka tak semesra dahulu lagi.

7. DISINI siapa kah sebenarnya yg menjadi dalang yg telah meretakkan hubungan akrab mereka bertiga. sebelum ini mereka tiada masalah. jadi YANG JAHAT sebenarnya adalah PEMIMPIN parti politik yg mereka menjadi pendokongnya.

8. kita sebagai rakyat biasa JANGAN TERTIPU dan TERMAKAN dengan mainan pemimpin politik seperti ini. mereka mempunyai AGENDA TERSEMBUNYI sebenarnya. itu kita kena baca dan faham.

9. YANG SEBENARNYA pemimpin politik jenis ini samalah seperti seorang jurujual yg tak beretika. kerana hendak melariskan produk jualannya dia sanggup kondem produk orang lain. jenis pemimpin politik yg tak beretika ini kerana mahu mengekalkan sokongan pengikutnya dan supaya dikatakan juara dan jaguh dalam kelompok etnik yg diwakilinya maka dia tak rasa bersalah bila isu2 yang boleh menggugat keharmonian kaum dibangkitkan.

10. saya menyeru kepada rakyat biasa JANGAN PEDULI dengan pemimpin politik jenis ini. dia nak menyalak macam anjing menyalak hantu ditengah malam, biarlah dia menyalak sorang- sorang. kita teruskan tidur kita, tak usahlah kita bangun ditengah malam keluar rumah kerana nak tengok hantu yg kononnya dilihat oleh anjing itu. setuju tak kalau saya katakan lama kelamaan anjing itu akan berhenti menyalak dengan sendirinya bila dia tahu salakannya tidak mendapat perhatian. dan sudahnya kita pun dapat tidur dengan nyenyak sebab besok nak bangun awal kerana nak pergi bekerja.

11. boleh faham kut apa yg saya maksudkan pada para 10. so Ahmad, Ah Seng dan Muthu you all continue macam biasa lah. itu anjing mau salak berapa kuat you orang tak usah peduli. you all mau ingat tentang keselamatan dan kesejahteraan generasi selepas you all. kepada N.AJIS dan S..TAN, tolong sentuh sikit seruan saya ini. akhir sekali, take care of yourself n your family. By joeAuthor Profile Page on October 1, 2009 2:12 PM sorry tun. saya masuk sekali lagi. ada tertinggal sikit hal juga.

Specially to N.AJIS dan S..TAN. saya ikuti tulisan anda berdua. khasnya dalam isu "DALAM KASUT" yg diketengahkan oleh tun pada July 2009. Wow .. saya dapat merasakan betapa hangatnya bila anda berdua berbalas-balas hujah. well done .. pada saya lah. this time jika anda berdua ada baca saya punya tulisan dlm blog tun ini pada 1.10.2009, I wish both of you please feel free to response.

Dear Tun,

I had missed going to your open house this year thinking that I was going to see you in another function shortly afterward. But you did not come to this function, so I missed giving you my greeting in person. Anyway, I look forward to go to your open house next year. How nice if there are more open houses in a year.

Dear Bloggers, On Malaysian Inventions and Intellectual Properties again, have you notice the top banner on chedet blog, PECIPTA which has been around for quite sometimes? Recently, I had a look and it turns out to be an exposition of research output (in S&T) from our local Universities. There appear to be many new ideas and innovations to be displayed. This is our opportunity to see what they are doing in our Universities. I will definitely go to this PECIPTA. See you there!

Dearest Tun,

Yes, it's wonderful to see all races enjoying themselves during the festive season. It potrays how peaceful and generous the people of Malayia. However, discrimination is there staring at us. Sometimes I got really fed up with perception of the races amongst each other - the malays wil always be seen as incompetent compared to the non Malays even though facts show otherwise. In workplace particularly, if a Malay worker were to make mistakes, the scene was humiliating. Unlike when a non Malay were to make mistakes, it will be kept a secret. Why? many keep saying, US has accepted a black man to become their President... well, how long have they gained independence? How long have they abolished slavery? After HUNDREDS of years not fifty years! And they all speak the same language, dress the same and eat the same food. One cannot compare Malaysia to US. I 'm sorry but I will never accept a non Malay to be the PM. Many non Malays refuse to speak the national language and accept that they must learn the language and be proud of it. I dont'want this country to be another Singapura or another Hongkong or China or Taiwan or India. Money is important but is not everything. There were Malay government in this land. It was not land occupied by mere farmers and fishermen.This land is part of Melayu nusantara. The one that divided the lands were the English and Dutch. One cannot say the Malays were migrating to another country. Islam is the religion of the people . By alibabaanjingAuthor Profile Page on October 1, 2009 1:21 PM

Correct me if i'm wrong, but it was during your time as PM that race-based schools mushroomed like no body business...you're the one that cause our children to not 'have friends from their language groups'...you are responsible for creating this racial segregation..and you should be accountable for the 'racist' world that you have created here in malaysia...if only our children goes to one type of school, if only they have friends from multiple culture backgrounds, only then can they appreciate what diversity they have...

tapi apa kan daya...nasi dah menjadi bubur...kini, mereka sudah berpecah...budak melayu ke sekolah kebangsaan, budak cina ke sekolah jenis cina, budak india ke sekolah jenis tamil....inilah dunia yang anda sudah bina...inilah realiti Malaysia yang kita cinta

Suasana seperti ini akan berkekalan selagi ISA terus ujud kerana ia dapat mengawal daripada berlaku pegeseran di antara kaum di Malaysia. Penentang ISA mungkin tidak sedar ISA adalah salah satu sebab musabab penyatuan kaum yang terdiri dari belbagai latar belakang, kepercayaan, adat resam, cara hidup dan agama.

We had just our primary school reunion. 27 years long we have never met. We speak the same and acted the same although some has grown beard, mustache, hair and most prominent is weight. Since then each of us Chinese, Malay, Indians and Mamak has gone through ups and downs as a direct cause of the government policies. Some has benefited from it and some has suffered because of it. Those who benefited and suffered is very successful today. It is just about making a lemonade every time you found a lemon. Bukan semua orang Cina senang mahupun kaya, bukan semua orang Melayu yang jadi kaya atau senang sebab polisi kerajaan dan bukan semua orang India itu miskin dan hidup tersiksa. Bukan ketiga-ketiga bangsa ini berjaya kerana politik. Kebanyakkan mereka senang hidup dibawah radar kerana menggunakan keringat yang ditinggalkan oleh nenek moyang iaitu "hard work to succeed". We do not talk about race. We did talk about opportunities. We talk about being together, happier forever. It is not about 1Malaysia, it is just about being Malaysian as we have always been since Merdeka. Selamat Hari Raya Maaf Zahir Dan Batin By Justin WongAuthor Profile Page on October 1, 2009 10:51 AM

Salam Tun,

Walaupun sudah melebihi satu tahun saya meninggalkan tanah air untuk meneruskan pelajaranku di Amerika Syarikat, tidak aku melupai keunikan Malaysia. Semacam yang ditulis oleh Tun, saya berasa Malaysia tidak sama dengan negara lain seperti Indonesia, negara Thai etc. Setiap kaum di Malaysia masih mempunyai gaya hidup mereka yang tradisional dan setiap rakyat hidup dalam harmoni walaupun tidak sama bangsa dan agama. Oleh kerana kaum-kaum di Malaysia mempunyai cara hidup dan budaya yang berlainan, kita sebagai rakyat Malaysia boleh menikmati keistimewaan tersebut. Tetapi dengan ahli politik yang hanya tahu membesar- besarkan percetusan antara kaum yang pernah berlaku dalam perbalahan politik... ini tidak akan ketatkan perpaduan antara kaum dan juga tidak akan memajukan negara. Oleh itu, saya amat berharap dan berdoa agar setiap rakyat di Malaysia tanpa mengira bangsa boleh hidup bersama- sama dalam keadaan aman dan harmoni.

Salam Tun, Politics in Malaysia is merely a wealth platform. Politics here is also all about racial segregation/ unity. This racial issue is Malaysia. Most of toleration and grievance alike is published in newspaper or some sort of media. A few to ponder if it true what we intended as 1Malaysia: 1. Remember couple weeks ago malay neighbourhood with chinese neighbour cleaning pork meat in their house. 2. Relocation of temple. Was it built on legal ground to start with? 3. Sepang pig project.. ? 4. Bumiputra status = muslim status? Why am I seeing so many indonesian go about their businesses like they are the citizen of this country? 5. Why ceramah agama at surau or even azan has to be so loud?

Every races include indonesian here is making their statement loudly of their 'domination'. I do not sense the unity truly here yet. Are we malay suppose to abide to all other races wanted previllage while we are left with loud azan and ceramah to acknowledge our existense as the majority and with country official religious? Can't other races have that in mind before create a request that will be published in newspaper and create racial tension?

Selamat hari raya.

Assalamualaikum YBhg Tun Mahathir,

Saya setuju dengan pendapat crunchira,

Ini memang betul YBhg Tun, saya rasa mereka ni kalau ada kepentingan dengan kita sahaja baru nak baik dengan kita kalau tidak jangan haraplah walaupun bukan semua macam tu. ( Baik ada makna )

Saya juga bersetuju benar kalau kerajaan memberi bantuan kepada semua bangsa tak kira bangsa melayu, cina, india atau lain - lain jika mereka benar - benar miskin kerana dalam Islam kita harus berbaik dengan semua orang jika mereka tidak bermusuh kita. ( jangan pilih bangsa melayu je )

YBhg Tun, saya tak faham dengan rakan - rakan saya banyak yang bekerja dengan Jabatan - jabatan kerajaan tetapi menyokong pihak pembangkang wahal mereka mendapat gaji dari pihak kerajaan.

Bagi saya politik pada masa kini kucar kacir baik dari pemimipin kerajaan dan pihak pembangkang. Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim masalah liwatnya dan Dato' Seri Najib Tun razak ( Atlantuya )walaupun kita tak pasti mana yang betul mana yang salah.Pemimpin sekarang tak ada yang benar - benar clean. Susah rakyat nak buat pilihan. Bak pepatah Melayu Kalau pilih BN ( masuk mulut buaya ) pilih PR ( masuk mulut naga )2 x 5.

Berkaitan pilihan raya kecil Bangan Pinang, Pemilihan Tan Sri Isa samad bagi saya( seperti seorang pahlawanan yang nak pergi berperang yang telah luka parah ) tengok je lah nanti.

Semoga YBhg Tun Mahathir dan YBhg Tun Hasmah di rahmati Allah SWT selalu.

To people like "I see stupid people" who's SO TYPICAL & simply very shallow in his/her outlook; & in trying hard to twist & spin our country's Constitution. For your very TYPICAL s'pore "example", suffice to say that it is a KUKU-BESI Dictator-style ruling with Ridiculously Tight ISA!

&, for a tiny island at that, that simply shows how Extremely-KIASU the so-called leaders of that small island are!!.. HAHA! Hope you yourself are not "stupid" anymore (as per your nick) by making shallow comparisons with that KUKU-BESI Dictatorship-style that is imposed on that small city-state island.

Lastly, the Underlying Question is..... WHY CAN'T THEY WILLINGLY LEARN TOGETHER IN SCHOOLS FROM YOUNG, just like how they are "willing" to be together to have Free Food???

Yes, Tun. Got your points on them HYPOCRITES!

Thanks & Wassalam.

Tun, Masalahnya, kemeriahan rumah terbuka sama ada Aidilfitri, Tahun Baru Cina, Deepavali dan perayaan-perayaan kaum lain yang dimeriahkan dengan penyertaan pelbagai kaum di negara ini adalah lebih bersifat superfisial sahaja. Semangat 1Malaysia hanya wujud buat sementara sahaja pada majlis-majlis perayaan dan keramaian dan selepas majlis tersebut selesai pengunjung-pengunjung ini akan kembali semula ke kelompok kaum masing-masing yang mengamalkan budaya, bahasa dan adat resam masing- masing. Keadaan ini berlaku disebabkan Perlembagaan negara kita yang membenarkan pelbagai bahasa, adat resam dan budaya digunakan oleh kaum minoriti yang menjurus ke arah polarirasi kaum. Perkara ini menjadi parah sejak akhir-akhir ini apabila kaum minoriti bukan sahaja menuntut hak kesamarataan kaum malah mempertikaikan hak kaum majoriti tanpa memperdulikan keadaan sosio ekonomi bangsa Melayu di negara ini. Lebih malang lagi bagi bangsa Melayu, apabila ada golongan Melayu sendiri yang kaya dan lupa asal usul mereka sendiri termasuk golongan liberal serta ahli-ahli politik Melayu yang bertentangan ideologi menyokong tuntutan melampau golongan minoriti ini hanya disebabkan fahaman politik dan kepentingan peribadi mereka sendiri. Contoh sikap double standard kaum minoriti terserlah baru-baru ini apabila DAP membidas cadangan Ketua Pemuda PKR Pulau Pinang supaya jawatan Ketua Menteri negeri itu digilirkan antara tiga kaum utama di negara ini. Alasan DAP ialah mereka mempunyai kerusi DUN terbanyak di negeri itu. Saya percaya Tun, jika keadaan itu terbalik, kaum minoriti termasuk DAP tidak akan segan silu meminta supaya jawatan KM digilirkan sama rata antara semua kaum. Sebagai contoh, kaum minoriti mengharapkan jawatan Perdana Menteri digilirkan dan dipegang sama rata antara semua kaum di negara ini. Dalam suasana kemeriahan Aidilfitri ini Tun, adalah sedih apabila mengenangkan ada orang Melayu yang lupa bahawa bangsa Melayu adalah bangsa yang termiskin di negara ini. Antara contohnya, ialah bangsa Melayu tidak mampu membeli saham ASM yang ditawarkan sehingga ia terpaksa dijual kepada kaum minoriti di negara ini. Selain itu, bangsa Melayu adalah bangsa yang paling ramai menghuni di flat-flat di ibu kota berbanding kaum minoriti di negara ini. Saya tidak mahu mengulas mengenai nasib bangsa Melayu yang rata-rata masih hidup dalam keadaan daif di kawasan pedalaman. Sementara itu, pelajar-pelajar Melayu dalam bidang pengajian profesional juga masih jauh ketinggalan berbanding kaum lain. Begitu juga lah golongan pekerja profesional Melayu di negara ini berbanding kaum minoriti. Sayang sekali Tun, dalam suasana kemeriahan Aidilfitri ini, tidak ramai orang Melayu yang insaf disebabkan kealpaan, sombong, iri hati, ego dan kebodohan mereka bahawa kehidupan mereka masih tidak banyak berubah dan pada masa yang sama hak mereka semakin hari semakin terhakis. Disebabkan sifat-sifat yang dimiliki orang Melayu ini, mereka mengundang kepada kemusnahan bangsa mereka sendiri di negara ini. Salam Aidilfitri Tun.

Salam Ayahanda Tun, please approve this comment, saya rasa politik ni seperti tengok cerita dalam TV... apa yang nak disampaikan bagus.. tetapi akibat dari byk ayat-ayat yang berbunga (samada dari pemimpin sendiri atau tambahan dari orang tengah), maka orang jadi salah faham. lagipun, kebanyakkan pemimpin bukannya 'direct contact' dengan rakyat.. ini hanyalah pendapat sy, kerana sy juga pernah merasakan tun jahat ! maafkan saya tun selamat hari raya, maaf zahir batin khairul By arikAuthor Profile Page on October 1, 2009 1:03 AM

Apa khabar Tok Det .....semoga sentiasa sihat

Sebenarnya saya tak tahu nak buat apa pada malam ini jadi saya hendak memberi sedikit coretan kosong . Maklumlah nak tidur pun mata tak mengantuk lagi melainkan kalau sudah betul-betul letih barulah saya tertidur . Lagi satu minta maaflah Tok Det sebab tidak dapat menghadiri majlis hari raya rumah terbuka Tok Det dan juga menteri-menteri yang lain maklumlah saya ini segan sikit . Tahun ini seperti biasa saya dapat menyambut hari raya dengan bersukacita seperti tahun- tahun yang lepas , semoga tuhan kekalkan kebaikan ini kepada saya dan juga ahli keluarga saya .

Saya rasa tak salah kalau kita menyambut apa-apa perayaan pun atau kita berkunjung kemana- mana rumah orang yang tidak seagama dengan kita asalkan kita masih tahu batas-batas sebagai seorang islam . Dizaman saya sekolah dulu saya memang mempunyai ramai kawan yang rapat dari pelbagai bangsa , jadi saya tak nampak apa-apa masalah pun cuma yang nak jadi samseng aje yang selalu buat kacau . Pantang silap sikit nak ajak bergaduh tapi akhirnya kembali berbaik semula maklumlah zaman persekolahan , darah tengah panas....he he he

Apa pun saya tetap berterima kasih kepada tuhan saya kerana sepanjang perjalanan kehidupan saya ini dilimpahi dengan pelbagai adegan dan juga pengetahuan , mudah-mudahan ianya akan berguna untuk saya dan juga keluarga saya . Cuma kalau ditakdirkan kita berperang pun saya tetap bersyukur juga , kerana itu hak tuhan kita yang mewajibkan kita berperang tetapi kalau boleh kita sebagai seorang islam hendaklah cuba mengelakkannya melainkan hati kita sudah tidak dapat bersatu lagi . Tuhan lebih mengetahui semua itu

Dibulan ramadhan yang mulia kita diwajibkan berpuasa dan membayar zakat , habis berpuasa kita bermaaf-maafan...nikmat sungguh dengan apa yang telah diberikan oleh tuhan kita.., kebaikan yang diberikan menyuruh kita berterima kasih kepadanya mudah-mudahan amalan kita diterimanya Akhir sekali ....muliakanlah tuhan kamu , tanpa pertolongannya siapalah kita . By khairulAuthor Profile Page on October 1, 2009 12:56 AM terbaca dari komen member dibawah ------Rumah terbuka...... Jangan samakan rumah terbuka orang Islam dengan orang bukan Islam,biarpun berkonsepkan sama tapi dalam Islam ada halal haramnya.

Apa yang diperhatikan pemimpin kita anggap sama je 'open house' tu demi perpaduan. Islam tetap dengan peraturan yang tak boleh diubah lagi tidak seperti peraturan yang sering digubal oleh pemimpin negara.

Fikirlah sendiri http://www.zoompanas2.com/2009/09/politik-isa-samad-calon-bn-di-bagan.html

------sy harap jgn dijadikan alasan utk tidak menyokong rumah terbuka bangsa lain, kerana mereka juga tahu makanan halal / haram bagi orang islam. adakah anda tahu apa yang anda makan itu betul2 halal ? By khairulAuthor Profile Page on October 1, 2009 12:53 AM

Salam Tun dan Toh Puan,

Hahaha, maaf Tun krn ketawa, itu lah politik Tun, muka politik boleh berubah-rubah dan lidah bercabag. Mereka suka cari undi murahan dan buat pelbagai cerita yang boleh membawa untung pada poket dia tanpa memikirkan kesilapan besar yang mereka lakukan.

Mana anuar? Masa berkempen baru datang...masa rakyat susah duduk di luar negara bersama- sama gay-gay amerika kafir tu.

Politik memang jahat Tun, tetapi inilah cara kita untuk terima di mata dunia "demikrasi" ala barat.

Saya kadang-kadang bosan dengan politik, nak itu dan ini . Kalau tak dapat canang isu basi sana sini tanpa memikirkan kesan janga panjang pada rakyat miskin.

Kata Tun memang betul...seperti iklan PETRONAS- Almahum Yasim Ahmad...dimana seorg budak lelaki cina bercinta dengan seorg bdak perempuan melayu. Dan perempuan melayu itu mengakui" kesimpulan..."mereka tidak memandang perbezaan tetapi kenapa kita yang matang ini nampak perbezaan warna kulit dan mencanag perkauman di rumah dan sekolah jenis kebangsaan"....

Harap ahli politik fikir masa depan dan jauh...apa yang telah mereka lakukan dlm 2 tahun ini? apa perubahan pembangunan yang mereka lakukan? Tahu bercakap sana sini dan menagihkan bantuan beras dan makan untuk 1-3 hari sahaja, tetapi tayang di surat khabar kerajaan negeri berbulan-bulan....dan heboh satu kampung. Tak tahu tambung dah kosong! Pinjam duit federal lagi! tulah tak tahu nak tadbir negeri nak tadbir negeri!

Tun kami sayang Tun,

Salam Tun,

Nowadays, ie. eversince badawi's CHAOTIC era; all the nice friendly MUHIBBAH atmosphere has somewhat LOST or Thrown out of the window!!!

Before badawi, RACE-WISE, we really don't see WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL of us, different races, sit & eat together!?.. -- It was like a NORM. Nothing "weird"!!!

As our unity foundation is somewhat ALWAYS there, The Next Question to ask NOW should be:

WHY CANT THEY "WILLINGLY" LEARN TOGETHER IN SCHOOLS FROM YOUNG -- just like how they are "willing" to be together to have the Free Food???

IF they're sincere Mature citizens of this Land (ie. know, understand & respect this country's Constitution + All that is tied to it); &, with more than half a century here, it is High Time they SHOW THEIR SINCERITY to this country by letting go of their Racist & segregated Sekolah Jenis2!!... - FYA, that was agreed solely for their "Jus Soli-ed ancestors" to get education here, as their ORI countries had Simply REFUSED to accept them back!!

Anyway... Yes, Tun. Got your points & are aware of those shallow hungry-HYPOCRITES.

Thanks & Wassalam.

Dear TDM, I remember the idiom 'the blood is thicker that water' which imply one would always stay united with their kin or race in time of conflict, doesn't matter whether one is right or wrong. That was in the olden days. Now 'the religion is thicker that blood'. And guess what? One's religion has taken over and become the dividing factor of people on this planet. Muslims can be made up of Malays or of Indian/Pakistani's descendants or even Chinese as long he or she prescribes to Islam tenets. By now the people all over the world would have known that Muslims cannot co-live or co- habitat or live peacefully together with people of different religions simply because the Muslims cannot tolerate practices of other religions. They are so self-rightous believing only their flock (not even other sects, i.e. syiahs, ismailies, etc) would go to heaven but not the others. Whilst the non Muslims can visit their Muslim friends and enjoin in the Muslim foods/practices but the same cannot be said of Muslims vis-a-vis their non Muslim friends. They are so many constraints and abstinences for the Muslims to be able to live with people of other religion save the Jewishs which also practice strict adherence with no room for tolerance. They can't mix or congregate with others without being skepticals and cynics of the others. The irony is that these same Monotheist people be they Jewishs, Muslims or Christians that claim their religions are descending from Abraham religion would fight and kill each other (Look at the Middle East War and Crusade War). The Non Believers be they atheists or polytheists don't fight and kill among themselves or are fighting the so-called Believers for religious reasons. Only the so-called Believers fight among themselves so that 'they' can go to Heaven. Does God proscribe killing among the Believers or something is not quite right here. That make the Believers the laughing stocks of the Non Believers and they cannot comprehend why people who believe in one God would fight to death among themselves. Just look at the flash points in the Middle East, Kashmir, Africa and the Balkan States (where the people are of the same blood or race only differ in their religion). Is religion a fallacy or a tool to divide people then? If each follower claims that he or she would go to heaven if he dies while fighting the other believer then something is not right here. Muslims would continue to achieve martyrdom and so would the Christians who would like to become crusader in the name of Christianity. But both cannot be right at the same time. Muslims like to believe that only Islam is the acceptable religion in the eye of God but what about those people where the teaching of Islam are not reachable for various reasons. Doesn't Islam stand for justice? It is like a few Christians going to to set up a community on the Moon or other planets where the only religion known and practiced is Christianity. Would God then send another messenger? Would it be known as Islam then? Or by other name? Would the holy book be Quran? The reason I ask is because the Americans are planning to set up a new community on the Moon come 2050. I don't think they would want to bring along Al Quran with them then as it would definitely bring a new war among Moon's new community. I think I have said enough. I don't want to bore the readers nor do I want to confuse and blur the existing default lines among the believers.

Dear Tun

Coming from you, your point #3 is a bit hard for me to digest. Left to themselves, I think sooner or later its "mob rules, OK!". Tunku Abdul Rahman practised "laissez faire" in his administration - proclaiming himself "the happiest PM in the world" - its almost "left to themselves" kind of rule.

But what's really happening then....you know it only too well!

On the surface, happy hour most of the time, lets be merry and tomorrow is just another day, sort of.... Ahmad, Ah Chong, Samy drinkin n eatin together, ribbing each other, then left laughing their heads off.....some to the banks, most to their humble abodes to sleep off the day's stresses and whats not. Beneath, its another story.

I think from the Malay point of view, the first poster: n.ajis (pity the pseudonym though) tells it quite well to some extent. I don't know how the Chinese' and Indians' points of view were then.....but I can accurately guess that theirs were as simmering.....getting hotter all the time.....until they all went BANG! in 1969.

You know it only too well, Tun. In fact you were in the middle of it all....you were a central player (not causing the tragedy of May 13th of course.....but thankfully, was instrumental in moving Tunku out and making the NEP a reality).

And, truth be told: politicians were just that...politicians.... people who stirs the hornets nests, who won't just let sleeping dogs lie (while a few of them really do the genuine works)....even today, they're still at it, and will keep on at it....its their raison d'etre. Yet, we can't do away with them....lest it becomes "mob rules, OK!". By RAAuthor Profile Page on September 30, 2009 6:31 PM

Salam hormat Yg Bhg Tun,

Saya tertarik meneruskan ulasan terhadap kebaikan hari-hari perayaan berbagai kaum dan anutan agama di Malaysia. Memang tidak dinafikan bahawa ada diantara perayaan yang berasaskan agama dan ada perayaan yang berasaskan budaya. Bagi Penganut Agama Islam kedua-dua perayaan "Aidulfitri dan Aiduladha" adalah perayaan berasaskan agama bukan budaya. Maka sudah tentu ada halal haramnya. Namun demikian atas prinsip perpaduan ummah atau makhluk yang dijadikan oleh Allah SWT di muka bumi ini tidak menjadi kesalahan bagi orang Islam menjemput rakan taulan yang bukan Islam ke rumah terbuka mereka bagi menikmati juadah hari raya dan sama-sama memupuk perpaduan antara kaum berbagai agama dan mengenali Islam lebih dekat. Begitu jugalah bagi perayaan berasaskan agama bagi kaum bukan Islam tidak salah dihadiri oleh orang Islam asalkan kita sentiasa menjaga batas-batas halal haramnya. Islam bersifat universal, jangan lah disempitkan Islam. Pendapat mengatakan kalangan pemimpin sengaja membesarkan hari-hari perayaan sebagai suatu mekanisma memupuk perpaduan adalah tidak tepat dari segi Islam itu sendiri. Hari-hari perayaan berasaskan agama seperti Hari Raya Aidilfitri dan Aidiladha secara sedar atau tidak boleh juga menjadi satu cabang atau kaedah mendakwah bukan Islam untuk mengenali segala keindahan Islam lebih dekat dihati mereka, insyaallah. Yang menyempitkan Islam adalah kalangan penganut Islam itu sendiri. Islam harus disebar luaskan dengan berbagai cara.

Mengapa Pemimpin Pas (yang mendakwa parti berasaskan agama Islam)boleh bersekongkol dengan parti DAP yang terang-terangan menentang kewujudan kepimpinan dan pemerintahan Islam boleh diterima oleh Pas tanpa mengambil kira halal haramnya, percanggahan prinsip perjuangan Islamnya dan berbagai-bagai perlanggaran dari syariat Islam itu sendiri? Ini sepatutnya menjadi persoalan besar bagi umat Islam di negara Malaysia. Pas hanya mementingkan keselamatan politik mereka dan sanggup menggadai maruah, prinsip dan integriti agama Islam itu sendiri.

Islam dianjurkan berbaik sangka dan tidak memusuhi penganut agama lain yang je By wongAuthor Profile Page on September 30, 2009 6:20 PM

Selamat sejahtera Tun,

1.Adalah suatu nikmat apabila di dalam mana-mana rumah terbuka untuk menyambut sesuatu perayaan ianya dihadiri oleh pelbagai kaum di negara kita.

2. Suasana muhibah inilah yang saya percaya ingin dilihat oleh para negarawan bahawasanya rakyat berbagai bangsa dan kaum hidup aman dan damai. Tetapi suasana kedamaian dan kegembiraan ini hanya terbatas di waktu-waktu perayaan sahaja.

3. Tun, sebagai seorang negarawan dan mentadbir negara selama 22 tahun, saya percaya mesti ada sesuatu di dalam sudut hati Tun untuk dikongsi bersama saya mengenai kedudukan hubungan kaum di negara kita dan apakah langkah-langkah yang boleh diambil untuk memperbaikinya ?

4. Apakah Tun bersetuju dengan saya bahawa sistem kepartian politik kita yang berasaskan kaum membantutkan perhubungan kaum yang lebih erat dan tulin?

Refer to: "By capello08 I hate when pople say like this"

Bro, Yes! u can hate people finger point to UMNO/BN but u cant stop people blaming UMNO/BN becos it's a fact and result already shown on GE12 and soon GE13 too IF UMNO/BN continue with their racist agenda and corruptions... Very good example like watever racists remark shown in Utusan Malaysia, cow case plus all the corruptions involved with certain UMNO/BN leaders

IMO How to say... Yes I knw, everywhr/every1 in politics does corruption, I absolutely dont believe if u say 100% clean although i dont have evidence and probably they are very clever to hide it unnoticeable (Maica? PKFZ? No? DisneyLand? Bungalows? Own palace? Lingam? No?) In future if PKR do form a new government by majority, I'm sure they will corrupt too as they now doing so in Selangor but less. Just tat, to corrupt little or more only... Actually I dun mind if there're corruption but if the leaders can manage to bring in more profits, carings and development to the country 100x of their "commisen", as Rakyat i will close 1 eye... Sad case is, we yet to c any improvement from them... neither from UMNO/BN too. The country development is still stagnant for some time after Tun left as PM.

When the mat salleh says dun invest in Malaysia, they must have a very good reason wan... Always saying Malaysia, got many many red tapes, corrupted, not transparent, political not stable... so no matter how we change our business policies to attract or send John Todt to persuade them is pretty useless... At the end, everything goes to Singapore.

Dearest Tun,

Malaysia has grown from a young teenager to mature teenager who knows how to behave and walk. We do not require politicians to guide her, and without politicians, Malaysia will be better off, and the gap of wealth definitely would be narrower.

Honestly, Tun, why should we feed these politicians? Because of these politicians, the rakyat is divided and get poorer each day. We do not need them, really, just like Hong Kong and Singapore whereby they do not have politicians and that is why their Gaji for PM and the Cabinets are so much higher.

Malaysia sets minimum salary level for swasta and government employees, like China, according to the inflation rate, whereby rakyat can afford to own a home. If the ruling party can do this, Rakyat will never support opposition party!!!

In Malaysia, gaji swasta tak pernah naik, kadar inflasi naik gila, poket politicians semakin tebal.Just look at these 2 detractors of chedet, Ravi and S..Tan, have Tun ever read nice and sincere comments from them for, Fair But Unequal, ever since they have started to blog in?

Once these politicians are out, infaltion rate will come down, and I can quarantee that there will be no more politicians dare to challege the PM. These politicians are the "DETRACTORS OF UNITY" by bribing our Kerajaan Malaysia due to personal greed.

Take care Tun.

Dear Tun,

I felt sad not being able to attend your open house this year. Was away from the capital.

Couldn't agree more. Luckily, Malaysians had you as the leader for some time. It was during your leadership that Malaysia made great strides forward.

Not only that, every community was well taken care of and though it was not named as such it was a 1Malaysia -- the Everest expedition is a good example.

You were light years apart from the mediocre leaders around you. Your successor can best be described as way below average and true enough he destroyed in five years what took decades to build.

Najib so far I would also describe as below average -- weak and indecisive (allowing Kartika to be caned is a clear indication of his weakness).

Even he himself has no conviction in his 1Malaysia concept. Very easy to find the answer.

Actually it is a very simple thing which he has not done yet. But I am not going to say what it is.

Wish you many more Hari Raya's to come.

Best Regards,

Salam Aidilfitri Tun.

Malaysians are becoming more and more polarised these days. The usual rhetoric of saying 1Malaysia is only a slogan for the ears. The reality is way beyond that. Yes, the citizens can visit each other and celebrate all the festivals together but it is not going to be 1Malaysia if each minority race wants to continue having their education in their own mother tongue. It is not apt, sir.

How could Malaysians be united if there is no real bond from young? Having NS at the age of 19 or so is also a no-go. It is a little too late in my opinion because the vernacular schooling and its environment had been ingrained in the mind and psyche of these so-called "Malaysians". If that is not the case, then why a 23 year old young man had the heart to insult and degrade the National Anthem of the country? If that is not the case, then why some Malaysians of the SRJK type cannot even speak BM. They can only converse in the language of their forefathers.... an unusual and strange paradigm indeed. I ask myself, are they in transit only? waiting to go back to the homeland of their forefathers? Do they really want to become true Malaysians in every sense of the word?

Sometimes, I wonder if the government is encouraging bantustans (according to one's mother tongue) to sprout everywhere in Malaysia, where "Malaysians" live only with their own kind as neighbours. If that is the case, then 1Malaysia should be forgotten. Period. Why be hypocrites, right? Is there any good if Malaysians are nice to each other only during festive seasons?

Incidently Tun, I think we do have a way to overcome this, ie. The Satu Sekolah Untuk Semua (SSS) or One School For All. I just stumbled onto this blog, put up by patriotic but anonymous Malaysians.

Please go to http://satusekolahuntuksemua.wordpress.com for more details. The petition site is also worth looking into.

Take care, Tun.

Tun yang amat mulia lagi dihormati oleh yang berotak

Regularly, I have always asked myself and also some close friends to envisage or visualise what the world would be like if we do not have politicians. They thought there is something wrong with me or I am abnormal. I can foresee the world will be a better place to live in.

Without politicians, communists and terrorists will never walk on this earth. There will be no wars, no racial discriminations, no famine and no hunger world-wide. Generally, the world’s politicians are the crocodiles and wolves who devour the wealth of the poor peoples of their countries and also, the world’s wealth.

To me all peoples of this world, irrespective of skin colour or religion they profess, they are my brothers and sisters. The moment, if someone becomes a politician, though he is from my own community or even my own brother or sister, I will keep my distance.

Of course there are honest politicians somewhere but just show me one who is. Trying to locate one is akin to looking for a needle in a haystack. Following this line of reasoning, I have never looked upon Tun Dr Mahatir as a politician but a Patriot of Malaysia.

Thank you. By rayhoAuthor Profile Page on September 30, 2009 4:10 PM

It must be the Hari Raya spirit that have you said the truth - it is the politicians who stoke the embers of racialism. It is now burning up the harmonious & tolerant nature of the Malayans. Like mistreating a rubber tree to extract more latex than its normal yield the pollies are harming the tree & it will not grow to its full potential or may even die prematurely.

But yet we have to have politicians in a democracy. The safeguard as witnessed in older democracies is to allow checks & balances in the form of independant judiciary, freer press & no ISA so the people dare to speak up. It is still not too late Tun, why don't you rise above partician politics and canvass for some reforms to remove race & envy and move Malaysia to a more open democracy.

If our "open house" is strictly for local festivities there is no danger.

The danger is "open house" at the global level especially when Najib is jettisoning the country towards that direction. If he is making unpopular statements and actions on national matters then we fear his capability internationally.

Singapore is having an open house at the tail end of the Peninsular - dirt cheap water, plenty of sand (to narrow the Straits), housing and land for its citizens. I first commented on this while Muhyiddin was still the MB.

Yet, this neighbour tells you what and want not to do. This bridge no that bridge yes. To relate this to a layman situation, when I want to entent my kitchen ( to have more space for open house) within the compound, I don't have to ask approval from the neighbour.

The Defense Minister nonchalantly said Indonesia had illegally entered our airspace 13 times. What should he think he should do when someone broke into his house in Bagan Datoh or elsewhere even once?

Enough of the open houses held here by the foreigners in the past - Portuguese, Dutch and British. The next one meng-antu-ya is Uncle Sam who is Jewish now.

Our ignorance, state of technology, incapable leadership is an open house for plunder under the pretext of globalisation.

I agree with Jebat.

But a 1-school system cannot exist unless there is a 1-government.

And there can't be a 1-government if everything the government does is based on satisfying their Bumiputra rights first.

The whole idea of a more privileged race has nothing to do with helping poorer communities anymore. And this race based concept is not coherent with a country that aspire to become a first world nation.

And you can't blame the non-Malay communities for isolating themselves from a system that oppress them. It is only natural, that when we exclude certain people from the system, they tend to congregate at the opposite pole. By Phrase RiderAuthor Profile Page on September 30, 2009 3:05 PM

A'kum Tun, minta laluan.

My first comment is to "I see Stupid people"; I wish that you were smarter but your remark is smack on stupidity! How could you say that S'pore and Malaysia shares the same population trait and composition. How racially diversified is the S'pore cabinet, or their civil service. How vocal are the NGOs for the minorities or the oppositions? How well are the minorities represented in the Govt or wealth distribution? Bumi mana Hang dok ni? Siang-siang Dok mimpi ka?

As for JMD (Jebatmustdie)- I think everyone knows the answer- single schooling system such as the one practiced in the US or UK or Australia or NZ and I even have written on your blog on this matter is the 1 solution for racial integration (such as the white,Black, Hispanic or ABC). Why is there no request to the senate/ congress to offer vernacular schools- Chinese, Spanish, Arabic etc? Why are they willing to adopt, adept and be assimilated into the singular education system and a monolithic culture? it its those people with vested interest that wants to be their race champion, be it Malay or Chinese educationist groupings with their blinkered view and narrow agenda is the biggest obstacle. And some of those who would not dare make a pip when sending their kids abroad for foreign education is the loudest of them all here in Malaysia. These are the same selfish bunch of people who got their Phd in Western country or sending their children there while demanding the locals to attend vernacular school and furthering their racial narrow mindedness. Sampai Tun kena guna Ops lallang!!!

Depa guna persatuan yang berasaskan bangsa untuk memajukan agenda perniagaan dan aspirasi politik mereka dengan memberi sokongan kepada orang-orang politik yang dapat mendukung kepentingan bangsa atau individu yang menjadi jaguh bangsa. Biar dia orang dan anak pinak dia sahaja yang boleh maju dan prosper tapi orang lain tak boleh; jadi jangan wujudkan peluang itu di negara ini! Ini lah manusia yang pentingkan diri sendiri dan menindas anak bangsanya- hmmm pejuang bangsa/bahasa konon!!!!

Ini pandangan saya, RG By lordapesAuthor Profile Page on September 30, 2009 2:52 PM salam Tun,

"Maybe we should have continuous festivals throughout the year."

Seldom I disagree with you. I don't think we should have continuous festivals throughout the year. What makes open houses so popular because we seldom do it. The 'magic' will be lost if it is done on a weekly basis.

Just as our compassion for Palestin (or Bosnia, Africa, etc.). When served with the same sympathetic story everyday, we will lose interest someday and just stop caring. By samcoAuthor Profile Page on September 30, 2009 2:47 PM

You agree with us that corruption is widely spreading in our Malaysia system. Thank you for sharing your honesty opinion with all Malaysian. I would like to ask a simple question to you. UMNO as a biggest party in BN coalition, should they led by example in fighting corruption.

It is only a simple question, and I guess all Malaysian would like to hear your honesty answer again.

By the way, I fully agree with you that telling lies is the a form of rasuah. Should a tainted politican be given a chance?

By AdamAuthor Profile Page on September 30, 2009 2:30 PM

Dear Capella08,

The above is an example of racism, even by the Malay(s) themselves. People from other parties be it PAS, MCA, PKR, MIC, PBS, etc and NGOS also have people who commit corruption. Don't just see the receiver. Also see the people who give the rasuah. Both should be caught and treated the same. I dislike rasuah (if any) in Umno. And I hate people who single out Umno, they are hypocrites. Today just visit Pejabat2 tanah, Majlis2 perbandaran, see people who are talking to policement by the roadside, JPJs, Ports, Customs offices, etc - if you catch anyone redhanded giving rasuah are they Umno people?? I bet less than 10% are!

Stop racial and Umno slurs. Telling lies is also a form of rasuah.

Answer;

AFAIK, that is not racism. PAS, and UMNO is very different, try and bribe the wakil rakyat and see if you will be entertained, and bribe an UMNO now, and see if you will get entertained. Faith is not buy able.

Telling lie is not a form of bribery, as lie is;

A lie (also called prevarication), is a type of deception in the form of an untruthful statement, especially with the intention to deceive others

And a bribe is;

Bribery, a form of pecuniary corruption, is an act implying money or gift given that alters the behaviour of the recipient.

These are among the diseases of most UMNO now, they still refuse to see their mistakes, and insist on it. Open your heart, and you will see like I do, that money is not everything. By wajaperakAuthor Profile Page on September 30, 2009 2:22 PM

Dear Tun, What you have said is 100% true...it is the politician who makes things worse together with few media groups who like to add fuel to the fire. But if we look carefully, the racial "cancer" has actually gotten worse now in Malaysia !! Look at the Sekolah Kebangsaan today....hardly we see any Chinese kids there ? Only the Malay and some Indian kids are there. I have checked about 4 schools in my neighborhood in Johor, well, either no Chinese or less than 2 students in the entire schools...meaning all level !! Whose mistakes ? The Chinese ? the Malays ? the Indians ? I think it is the political agenda and the policy itself ! 30 years ago, well, the ratio is well represented ! This is where the fundamental ground to understanding of being a true Malaysian is fading ! Some of the kids have no real experience playing/interacting with other races till they are adults ! As long as we never fix our education system, surely 1Malaysia will be just another "wayang kulit" of Malaysian politics ! School and sports are very powerful mechanism for racial integration. Today, somehow, I do not see the Moktar Dhahari, Arumugam, Soh Chin Aun and Santokh Singh kind of team in Malaysia !! Why ??? We got to look into this very seriously...please do something Tun !

Dearest AYAHANDA TUN DR MAHATHIR,

Highly skilled Politicians / Perasuah / Peliwat2 ANwar = Buah Ngok’ Taxi 15 (Developers for luxurious lifestyle living) lobbying KJ as the 9th PM, NO WAY because we have learned!!!! Singapore will have to decentralize their economy through FREE & SHARE MARKETS by crossing over to Malaysia NOW to reduce their US $ Reserves BEFORE the “new currency” is established and they cannot run away with it, Ayahanda.

The Star paper and Sinchew are the politicians 15 merupakan peliwat2 & anjing2 yang suka main “liwat” (bad stabbing and rakus kekayaan) di tempat awam Negara kita yang mempunyai 9 Raja2 Melayu.

The Star paper reported today that: "TERROSRISTS CASED JARKATA HOTELS BEFORE BOMBINGS" JAKARTA: Indonesia police have released a series of files from slain terror leader, Nordin Mohd. Top's (41 years) laptop showing detailed and chillingly “non-chalant” behind the July bombings in Jakarta…… blah..blah..

Remarks: non-chalant” means “ambil berat” – kata lawan nonchalant by separating it (no such word in dictionary) Conclusion: Peliwat 15 ANwar “TUKAR ARAH” Strategy to lobby and attack 1-3 & 1-4!!!!

Ayahanda, Selangor State must be ruled by UMNO back up by PKR to prevent Anjing ANwar 15 from Harassing Sultan Selangor because His Royal Highness’ Putera is in teenager stage. Here are just 2 tips for Mohd. Khir Toyo and late Zakaria family to clear their names “using Raw passionate (heart to heart strategy):” by whipping Selcat to re-brand as CAT - MUSLIM Modern Industry model by:-

1. M. Khir Toyo must have a stringent plan to implement “Destruction Creative” on the BRANDING of “Selcat” Administration, with PKR’s Khalid Ibrahim to gain back Selangor as the leading party:- a. Selcat Administration = maksud tersirat bahawa Kerajaan Malaysia merupakan Kucing (Cat) kepada Sultan Selangor, Raja2 Melayu dan Agong Malaysia - Derhaka kepada Raja Melayu as per RN 2 - Kesetiaan Kepada Raja & Negara b. Selangor Government is using Selcat system (Alien cat system - this is why Teoh BH was murdered) to oppress, harass and ridicule our Muslim in Selangor, Sultan Selangor /Kerabat and All Raja2 dan Kerabat di Malaysia. Furthermore under Malaysia Constitution, our Monarchy’s unwritten rules, budaya, adat & tradisi = RAW Rules of Agong & Raja2 Melayu of the States and Malaysia, hence, UMNO can tell off PR. c. PKR, PAS, DAP have supported Selcat system to oppress UMNO, meaning that PR agreed and supported non-Muslim to oppress, ridicule and harass Muslim in the name of RN 1 & RN5 - Ridicule “ALLAH” as Non Muslim (Alien) CAT. And the cow head demonstration is the incident of Muslim frustration caused by religion oppression by non-Muslims in the area of dominant Muslim.

2. M. Khir Toyo needs to help Zakaria family out, advice the family to vacant Zakaria Istana. Get Sultan Selangor to re-launch and re-name the Istana as the GUEST HOME (ISTANA) for His Royal Highness’s GUESTS visiting Selangor. This Guest Istana will then be the property of Selangor fully sponsored by Selangor government, as with which accounting rules to be used, it’s up KT and Khalid Ibrahim.

Furthermore, The Chinese Association, Hua Zong was won by TS Pheng (Perwaja Steel, Pahang) with 94 votes (Tun, Hisham & Mukhriz), thus Pemuda UMNO must be won by M.Khir Toyo in next PAU. If Ayahanda does not help them, how are they going to pay back the debts for Najib’s mistakes. KT must be passionate, have kesedaran sivik and country’s heart more than the desire for UMNO and Malays to win back Selangor.

Ayahanda, we must avoid mistakes on late Ghafar Baba, Eric Chia, TS Loy, Anwar and Najib, liberalize and justify their mistakes due to human weaknesses and world economics landscapes, the aftermath of Cold War, to open up Malaysia to the world.

Take care and enjoy yourself. Selamat Hari Raya, Ayahanda Tun. By rahimAuthor Profile Page on September 30, 2009 1:39 PM

Y.A.B Tun, Semenjak kebelakangan ini konsep rumah terbuka telah disalah tafsir menjadi suatu pesta menjemput orang ramai untuk menikmati juadah dan makanan yang disediakan tetapi dibayar oleh pihak lain atau Kerajaan. Kalau rumah terbuka Perdana Menteri sudah tentu dibiayai oleh Kerajaan Persekutuan. Duit rakyat yang dikutip melalui cukai dsb. Kalau semua Menteri mengadakan rumah terbuka maka dapat dibayangkan berapa jumlah wang rakyat dibelanjakan. Mungkin semua sekali Kerajaan Persekutuan berbelanja sampai RM30 juta termasuk rumah terbuka yang dianjurkan Menteri-menteri dan Pegawai Tinggi Kerajaan yang lain. Saya tak fikir PM atau Menteri-Menteri guna duit mereka sendiri untuk menganjurkan rumah terbuka.

Kita berbangga rumah terbuka sewaktu sambutan Hari Raya, Raya Cina atau perayaan Depavali. Sepanjang bulan Syawal, kebanyakan Menteri sibuk dengan majlis-majlis rumah terbuka. Banyak wang rakyat habis untuk tujuan keraian. Saya cadangkan Kerajaan hadkan perbelanjaan untuk rumah terbuka ini untuk PM meraikan tetamu asing saperti Duta-duta atau ketua kaum sahaja. Kerajaan tak patut tanggong belanja untuk menyediakan makanan rumah terbuka untuk orang ramai. Kalau PM nak jemput orang ramai maka dia patut bayar dari gaji dia sendiri saperti anggota Kerajaan yang lain mengadakan rumah terbuka. Lagi pun tak elok kita membazir wang rakyat.

Saya fikir lebih elok duit belanja rumah terbuka oleh Kerajaan Persekutuan digunakan untuk membiayai pembinaan rumah orang miskin PPRT atau menyediakan makanan berzat kepada pelajar miskin. Dinegara lain, mana ada Kerajaan belanja mengadakan rumah terbuka saperti di Malaysia. Konsep rumah terbuka adalah untuk tuan rumah menjemput jiran dan saudara yang rapat kerumah untuk merapatkan silaturahim. Bukanya majlis kita bermegah siapa yang ramai dikunjungi oleh orang sewaktu rumah terbuka. Kesian dekat Pak Lah. Rumah terbukanya agak sunyi berbanding dengan rumah terbuka Tun Mahathir. itulah sifat orang kita. Bila dah tak ada kuasa, semua pakat cabut lari. Raya tahun lepas bukan main ramai lagi yang nak cium tangan Pak Lah sewaktu rumah terbuka.

Rumah terbuka adalah amalan peribadi dan pahalanya dapat kepada diri sendiri. Tetapi kalau duit Kerajaan digunakan maka itu bukan amalan ugama. Berdosa pulak yang dapat selepas kita selesai berpuasa sebulan. Terpulang lah. Saya hanya membuat teguran. Kalau saya salah, maka saya pohon maaf.

Kita hari ini bercakap mengenai amalan yang tranparen dan kita mesti dipertanggongjawapkan kepada setiap tindakan kita. Mereka yang diberi tanggongjawap menjaga duit rakyat, mestilah insaf kepada " accountability" mereka kepada rakyat. Kalau semua kita buat kerja dengan penuh amanah, maka wang rakyat dapat digunakan sebaik mungkin untuk memakmorkan negara. Inshallah, wawasan 2020 akan dapat dicapai kalau setiap sen pendapatan negara digunakan dengan sebaik mungkin.

Bulan syawal adalah bulan kita merayakan kemenangan kita melawan nafsu dan syaitan sepanjang bulan Ramadhan. Kita dituntut tidak mencemarkan kemenangan ini dengan amalan- amalan burok yang lain saperti pembaziran, peyelewengan atau rasuah.

Semoga Negara kita akan maju kehadapan mencapai Wawasan 2020. By pakbelalangAuthor Profile Page on September 30, 2009 1:22 PM

Dear Tun,

Frankly, 3 months ago I just registered myself to be a member of UMNO through on-line registration and is now a full- fledged member of an UMNO branch in my kampong at a retirement age of 59. Now I wonder whether I had made the right decision. I thought this is the right time to do a favour in a small way to help UMNO to strengthen the party. But I am rather disappointed and sad that UMNO have not changed much its outlook under Najib's leadership. I was hoping very much that Najib could really turnaround the fate of UMNO but I am yet to see any concrete changes in its outlook. Anyway, I am still confident and looking forward to what extent UMNO will change its constitution to revamp and revitalise its image from being a "dirty" party to a "clean" party free from corruption. If things do not improve to my expectations, I am afraid I will have to withdraw from being a member of UMNO. Maybe, it is no big deal to withdraw as a member but at least I hold to my principle. I do not want to associate myself to a "haprak and HP6" organization whose principles are like "shit"!! By PekliAuthor Profile Page on September 30, 2009 1:14 PM

Salam Tun,

1. Yes, in public Malaysians do sit at one table and joke with each other albeit of different races.

2. But all of us know what happens when we go home and being surrounded by our own kind. We talk bad of the other races.

3. When you throw delicious free foods on the table, Malays, Chinese, Indians and even monkeys will come and throw away smiles and laughter.

4. We should not try to eliminate the differences among us. Instead, we should embrace these differences.

5. There is no such thing as pure equality, be it among men and women, rich and poor, different races in Malaysia. It will never be equal no matter how much you fight for it.

6. We (Indians, Chinese, Malays, and the rest) all have roles to play. Play them right we must. 1Malaysia concept is for hardcore idealist like Najib. Yes, Malaysia will always be 1, but there will always be more than 1 race in Malaysia.

7. I am a Malay, in fact a hardcore Malay. Until there is 1 Indian Prime Minister and 1 Chinese Prime Minister in Malaysia, let's not talk about 1Malaysia.

8. Yes, it is the politicians that destroy the unity among Malaysians, especially when they misrepresent and manipulate the rakyats to achieve their own goals.

9. Okay now, let's go search for more free delicious foods. By crunchiraAuthor Profile Page on September 30, 2009 1:08 PM

Assalamualaikum Tun..

Saya nak sgt pegi umah terbuka Tun. Tapi xsempat. Saya dari Terengganu sampai ari ahad lepas..Keje ari Isnin.

Cakap pasal keje..Saya nak cite betapa bagusnya tmpat keje saya ni Tun. Tiap tghr masa bulan puasa ari tu msti ada kuliah zohor..Saya bersemangat pergi...Tapi ustaz yg berceramah ceramah politik lak. Org kuat PAS rupanya..hmm, sy jadi hilang mood. Datang ke surau dgn hati yg ikhlas nk mendengar sesuatu yg baik..tp entahla. Siap memburuk-burukkan beberapa pemimpin besar Malaysia. Hmm, macamana boleh terlepas. Nampak sgt pihak pengurusan sengaja. Xsedar diri, bekerja di syarikat berkaitan kerajaan.. Syarikat berkembang pun dari awal kerana suntikan dana dari kerajaan..Syarikat bersama2 menjayakan projek besar kerajaan. Tapi diri masih xsedar di mana bumi dipijak utk mencari rezeki. Saya xsuka langsung.

Utk pengetahuan..tempat sy keje ni syarikat GLC..satu Malaysia knal.. Selalu jadi penaja besar..Tapi ni Cawangan Shah Alam punya..

Bercakap pasal perkauman..sbnrnya saya rasa kita yg terlalu baik. Saya percaya Melayu xakan memulakan apa2 klau org lain xmulakan apa2..Kita bercakap pasal realiti Tun..Maaf Tun, ikhlas bagi saya, saya nampak isu pasal perkauman ini tetap akan ada..cuma ianya boleh dikawal sahaja. Realiti Tun, jangan tgk org Cina atau India ketika open house sahaja. Xcukup tu..semua org boleh berlakon seolah2 xde pape.Kita tgk semasa mereka bekerja dimana masa tu kita bkn tgh makan nasi himpit. Masa tu, kita bekerja. saya dulu dah masuk 2 kilang. semuanya sama sahaja. Mereka meminggirkan Engineer Melayu sehingga dah xder sorg pn Eng Melayu sbb xthn. mana nk tahan, dalam meeting pn ckp Cina. India pulak, bila dah naik sikit, mula memandang rendah kat org.Alih2 Tun, Melayu jadi kuli batak. Tapi Tun, honestly, yg pandai buat keje, yg tau technically operationnya mcmana Melayu jugak..kita bukan xpandai..tapi sengal dlm English je. Xpandai berkomunikasi la katakan. 2 la..da elok2 buat PPSMI, pegi stopkan pulak..diaorg ni suka sgt Melayu jadi kuli batak kot.

Maybe bkn semua cina dan india mcm tu..yg dah hidup dalam kebudayaan Melayu..Cthnya di Kelantan dan Terengganu saya xnmpak pn ada masalah sgt..diaorg baik je sbb saling paham memahami kan..Ada yg baik...saya xnafikan..tapi berapa la sgt..Kita senang..org xkcau Kita,Kita mmg ok je. klau xok..Saya percaya xde la dulu Kita sng bagi org masuk Tanah air kita ni..Kita xkedekut. TAPI BILA DAH BAGI PIJAK KEPALA PULAK..cth, kepada saudara saudari budiman pegi cek kuota biasiswa MARA n JPA skrg. brape bnyak itu percent kat org lain. Dulu 5 percent je. Tapi disebabkan doaorg yg selalu menuntut n kejahilan MELAYU xsedar2 duk bagi muka kat suara diaorg..ha, tu lah bahananya. Esok lusa xtau la pulak kan. Bagi Betis nak Kepala otak. tu baru 1 cth..Byk lagi..

Jangan la marah kepada india n cina yg mmg baik..sbb kita pun suka klau kita smua dapat berbaik n bekerjasama dalam bumi MALAYsia ni..tapi hormatila tuan rumah kan..Jangan nak duduk master bedroom..Tu mak ayah kitaorg punye....

Apepn Tun...jaga kesihatan baik2..makan makanan berkhasiat..Makan ulam2 banyak..Tido msti mau cukup..badan kena rehat gak..otak da la selalu bekerja..tapi Tun tetap superb..Tapi Tun..klau xsihat sgt jangan paksa diri sgt..Apepn, semuanya bergantung kepada-Nya.. Selagi kita percaya pada Qada n Qadar, kita akan menghadapi hidup dengan kuat..Sbb kita tau, Dia yg lebih mengetahui..

Kirim salam kat Dr Siti Hasmah..

Ikhlas, Dak TRG..

[[Just recently, I was told off by my European guest, when I uploaded a copy of the Al-Quarn with translation (which I had legally purchased) to our server and allow members to share. In his opinion I was breaching the copyright law. I told him that the author of Al-Quran is God (Allah), and He does not mind people use "HIS" idea (Al-Quran). He was silenced on this, but he protested further, what about the person who digitise the Al-Quran. Well, I think this person does not mind either, since in a Muslim mind-set, knowledge belongs to Allah (Alhamdullilah). Knowledge MUST be shared and become public domain. Muslims collect dividen, interest, payments only from God in the hereafter]]

Kawan saya pernah bertanya soalan yang mudah ini.

Ilmu Agama tak boleh di jual beli.Jadi mengapa pekedai tidak memberikan Al Quran secara percuma?

Saya berpendapat..memang Ilmu Agama tidak boleh di jual beli.Tetapi kertas yang di perlukan untuk naskah Al Quran serta kos pencetakan dan beberapa kos lain perlu di bayar.Oleh itu bukan Al Quran yang di jual beli tetapi 'makhluk' yang di perlukan untuk menampung Al Quran itulah yang di jual beli dan di perdagangkan di mana 'qadim' itu itu tetap kekal tidak boleh di jual beli.

Hal yang sama juga di perkatakan tentang bayaran Guru yang mengajar Agama.Apakah boleh di berikan beliau wang tunai? Tidakkah itu menjual beli ilmu agama?

Islam itu mudah.Saya berpendapat kita bayar Tuan Guru Agama masa beliau yang di korbankan untuk mengajar agama juga kos yang di keluarkan beliau untuk datang ke Masjid dan Surau..Dan bagaimana Guru-guru Agama yang mintak 'demand' harga?..Pandai-pandai kitalah menimbang samada harga yang beliau minta itu berpatutan atau tidak.

Kembali ke IP ( Intellectual Property ).

Kebelakangan ini telah wujud tuan-tuan punya Banglo di tepi-tepi laut telah menghalang orang- orang awam untuk masuk ke pantai-pantai.Kata mereka itu hak property mereka sampai pantai di pagar tembok batu sampai ke laut..

Alahai tuan-tuan..Semua pantai adalah milik awam melainkan pulau-pulau yang tuan beli dan miliki ( di dunia ) sahaja!Kenapa menghalang hak orang-orang awam?

Begitu juga hal yang lain-lain..Kalau menyusahkan orang..jangan gatal tangan kunci tandas awam,parking menghalang jalan dan pelbagai macam tindakan yang menyusah dan membebankan orang ramai..

Jadi Open House di patenkan jadi milik hak Negara Malaysia ,tarian pendek ka apa ka buat tetapi jangan sampai menyusahkan rakyat dan orang awam..mengapa?

Kerana harta itu bukan kau yang punya.. Ahmad Albab yang punya..

Eh..sori tersasul..

Harta itu semua milik Allah..Oleh itu tunaikanlah yang hak kepada yang berhak..

My dad was a Railwayman. When we were little and with little money, we lived in the Railway quarters in Sentul. Christmas was an open house the whole day and night long. My father's colleagues, Chinese, Malays, Hindus came in and felt at home. Those who drank alcohol drank, and those who did not, did not. I can't recall any talk of Halal or Haram. Sure we did not serve pork. that was well known. But I remember it was my grandfather who slaughtered the chicken or the turkey. There was no evil or malice intended when it was served to the Muslims. And the Muslims consumed it without any mind to possibility of malice or evil whatsoever. Of course today it would be Halal chicken as we'd be more conscious of it. But it was a good day and never once did we think that "hey, we had Malays and Chinese in our house". We had friends and neighbours sir. No Chinese. No Malays! no Hindus. Just friends. just friends! i am so tired! i couldn't make it this time, but if I had, I hope I would just have been a friend who had visited. Not an Indian!!

Today, it is filled with corrupted Malay politician within UMNO. It is quite amazed and amused by the appointment of Isa as a candidate in Bagan Pinang election. This has poved that how desperate of UMNO by choosing a tainted politican. UMNO's weakness has been exposed again. It is a double standard of practice by the UMNO.

As a Malaysian, our wish and your wishes remain the same objective, "Please save our country from these corrupted politican".

The above is an example of racism, even by the Malay(s) themselves.

Tun Mahathir, Salam Dengan Penuh Hormat. Dimulakan dengan ucapan Selamat Hari Raya, maaf zahir batin semoga kesihatan, kemulian hidup di rahmati Allah. Dengan perayan utama dan perayan kecil bagi kaum kaum rakyat yang berbilang ugama,adat resam dan kepercayaan, hampir setiap bulan ada saja perayaan yang di raikan olih gulungan rakyat kita. Adakah perayaan perayaan ini begitu penting atau pun kita memberi sedikit ruang kepada perkara lazim untuk kita melupakan cabaran hidup sebenar. Jika setiap bulan adasaja perayaan yang di raikan, mampukah kita menumpukan perhatian kepada perjuangan sebenar yang di hadapi Negara. Kita merasa bangga di atas pencapaian kemajuan Negara selepas 50+ tahun merdeka.Didalam tempoh pentadbiran Tun sebagai PM, beberapa rangkaian tindakan dan pendekatan telah dilaksanakan ( Hop-Step and Jump). Di manakah kita sekarang dalam process Hop-Step and Jump ini ?. NTR nampak nya telah membawa sedikit sinaran dan di harap cahaya ini menjadi ubur yang menyinari Negara dan rantau ini. Rantau ini !!!!. Disini lah keraguan saya. Jika ada sumber dalam Negara yang tunduk kepada telunjuk kuasa besar untuk mengekalkan permaidani empuk mereka dan terus mengucar kacirkan usaha kita, perlukah Negara mendedahkan diri kepada kuasa besar ini dan terjurus kepada Neo-Politik supaya sekam ini di dedahkan dan di cabut terus. Kita memahami ada Negara di rantau ini yang telah menelanjangkan diri kepada kuasa besar atas kepentingan keselamatan dan kedudukan mereka sama seperti beberapa buah Negara di rantau Teluk. Mereka terus duduk di atas permaidani tetapi tetap di bawah telunjuk. Saya berpendapat bahwa inilah satu permainanan politik yang paling mencabar bagi Negara kita untuk melaksanakan " Jump" yang sempurna. Jika kita tidak mampu bertahan, sekam akan membawa padah , Negara akan hilang maruah dan rakyat tidak lebih sebagai penyumbang tenaga dan pengguna di bawah telunjuk Capitalist. Corak dan system Democracy hanyalah pohon untuk berteduh dimana dahanya boleh di jadikan tempat ber(meng)gantung diri.

Na'uzubillah.

YABhg Tun,

The Bagan Pinang by election should be a clear indicator of which race is voting for who and who. It'll be a very clear indicator whether the other race is with UMNO or against UMNO. Excuses after all are but just excuses. Should UMNO loses, maybe it's high time that Malays should let PAS take over the role that UMNO use to play in safe guarding the interest of the Muslim Malays. Maybe the Malays enblock should vote in PAS as the backbone of the Federal Government at the next General Election. Time for change..... Afterall, maybe UMNO was just a little bit too liberal....

BE CAREFUL ON WHAT YOU WISH FOR.. By I See Stupid PeopleAuthor Profile Page on September 30, 2009 11:45 AM

Tun,

Read on news that finally you have reminded the ministers on Vision 2020 which I reminded you earlier in Calon Bersih...

On item 1, r u teasing on Tourism Minister?? hahaha...

True, how good it is if we dont have politics here in Malaysia tats y I said earlier, Monarchy is better than Democracy (Applicable to Malaysia)... Jus like Brunei, c peaceful are they... every1 is listen to 1 highest voice... but of cos provided he is a good ruler..

Part to blame oso is our constituition which made during the Independence process. Since the first day itself, the constituition have splits up and divided the races. At that point of time, yes all the chinese and indians are pendatang, but when time goes by, the constituition still remain the same generally. To add salt on the wound, NEP is created... Malaysia still think that the descendent of the immigrants are still immigrants...sad to say we all chinese and indians are still immigrants. Then how can we be 1 Malaysia?

When you say Philipines, Indonesia and Thailand have their own unique names for its people. Whether my name is Suharto, Aroyo or Thaksin, in Malaysia the arguement is still the same. The constituition still splits us up... Whether we have vision school or Sek. Jenis Keb. is still the same.. The constituition is still there to splits us up...

And YES! again, Tun, you have ignore Singapore (Brunei oso) again. SG same as us with different names according to own race BUT they are still united and live peacefully. Why? By abenazAuthor Profile Page on September 30, 2009 11:34 AM

"It makes we wonder whether the country would not be better off if we don't have politicians. Of course I am one. But it does seem that it is the politicians who keep on stoking the fires of racism. Left to themselves the people would accept the way of life that has kept Malaysia almost conflict free all these years"

Yes, yes, yes. Tun. This is by far the best statement I have read from anyone publicly, something most people on the ground knows and knew for so long. Without politicians, people in rural and urban areas exist in harmony, helping each other eke out a living to survive. I still have many great and good friends from my high school days, many of whom are people of stature and some just ordinary employees in big corporations. Issue of race and religions never cross our mind, as we reminisce the good friendship and comradeship we have nurtured all these 30+ years. Nothing rocket science actually. We play together, study together, work together, live in the same neighbourhood together. Natural human bonds will develop. By satDAuthor Profile Page on September 30, 2009 11:21 AM

Dear Tun and family.

Salam Raya and Maaf Zahir Batin

One major stumbling block that i see is how the current power sharing arrangement or Consociationalism democracy practised in our beloved Malaysia whereby the main paradigm guarantees that each ethnic group would share political power and constrains the elite of those different groups to govern together. It kinda impose some form of accommodation at the political level by compelling the political elites to find a compromise between the demands of ethnic groups, it does not give group leaders any incentive to adopt a moderate discourse on ethnic questions (look at the kinda speeches during election debates!). On the contrary, in order to obtain the support of their electorate, leaders must adopt an aggressive attitude. It used to work behind closed doors during your time, of late the approach is more confrontational among the representatives of each ethnic community...So where does that leave us under current regime or even future regime?

Vernacular Schools should no longer be used as a bargaining chip, it no longer serve any purpose none what so ever when Languages can be thought as a dedicated Language Subject instead of a medium of Instruction for the whole curriculum......

The more we go on this path...we will eventually become a Nation without a Soul....as Language forms the very basic element to unify the various ethnic groups.....

Do visit satusekolahuntuksemua.wordpress.com to find out more how each one of us can help make this dream of a Unified Nation a reality...... alternatively we can always party all year round (Tun do u think govt can provide supporting festivities budget ka?)

G'day Tun,

SEALAMAT HARI RAYA to you and family. Reading your article re Hari Raya gathering of all races make me so homesick. I am missing out heaps living abroad, not much 'Open House' is happening here. I think the politics become irrelevant during festives, even family politics come to a grinding halt temporarily. Once the presents or Angpau changed hands, it would be a matter of time it would be back to normal politics, don't you reckon? Such is life. However, lets keep up with the traditions of Open House and enjoy the food. By BaiyuenshengAuthor Profile Page on September 30, 2009 10:57 AM

I am almost lost of words after reading. It seems somehow there is really a human side inside you. Like someone who actually achieve enlightenment on the race issue - our issue.

If only our leaders - politician, can come out from the box and embrace equality and humanity and treat all of us as Malaysian irrespective of their racial and religious background, will Malaysian achieve a harmonious environment and balanced progress. Will this be possible? By jebatmustdieAuthor Profile Page on September 30, 2009 10:48 AM

Salam sejahtera YABhg. Tun,

It is a given that Malaysia has different schools to cater for different races. Although we have the national school system which are catered for all Malaysians, the existence of vernacular schools has made the national schools primarily a place for Malay students to study.

Racial polarisation emerges because, at a young age, people are already separated this way.

A simple solution to this would be a single education system meant for all children under one roof. It is critical for the government under this so called 1Malaysia concept to look into this. The benefit of this would be obvious - the feeling of continuous festivals all year long for our school children.

Our forefathers (I'm sure YABhg. Tun was there too) wanted our country to be unified and it's people united. They concocted the social contract which aggressively pursues this goal.

Over the years, certain chauvinist elements wanted to strengthen the vernacular schools. They were successful. Then, our own Islamisation process in the 80's led by Anwar Ibrahim made the national schools unattractive to the non Malays.

Hence, the social contract wavered when racial polarisation festered.

Only the most blinkered couldn't see that the missing element in the social contract is the One School System.

I hope people will realise this before it is too late.

Thank you. http://satusekolahuntuksemua.wordpress.com/ By samexAuthor Profile Page on September 30, 2009 10:40 AM

Assalamualaikum Ayahanda Tun rasanya benarlah kata-kata ayahanda tun tu ... orang politik di Malaysia ni dirlihat akan melakukan apa sahaja demi kepentingan politik mereka. Ternampak hanya pertimbangan politik sajalah yang bermain di fikiran mereka. Tiada lain. Sehingga segala-galanya diperalatkan untuk politik ... kesucian agama dipolitikkan, Kesejahteraan negara dan rakyat dipolitikkan, kedaulatan bangsa dipolitikkan ... Pendek kata kerana terlalu hendakkan berkuasa segala-galanya akan dipolitikkan tanpa mengira implikasinya lagi ... inilah gaya berpolitik ahli2 politik di malaysia ... dan saya bercakap untuk kedua belah pihak ... Kerajaan dan Pembangkang ... Semoga Allah akan terus melindungi negara kita yang tercinta ini Tun ....Wassalam .... p/s : pemilihan Tan Sri Isa Samad juga menunjukkan bahawa kerana mahu meneruskan kelangsungan kerjaya politiknya, beliaua sanggup menerima tawaran menjadi calon pilihanraya kecil bagan pinang walaupun beliau sedar rakyat menuntut satu mesej yg jelas dari parti terhadap ketegasan parti mahu membersihkan imej parti dimata rakyat .... sekali lagi perimbangan politik untuk berkuasa mengatasi kehendak rakyat keseluruhan ... macammanalah rakyat mahu kembali kepada BN pada pilihanraya umum akan datang ...? saya sangat sedih terhadap perkembangan terbaru ini Tun ... By AarushAuthor Profile Page on September 30, 2009 10:27 AM kelakar lah Tun ni, mood Raya x hilang lagi, dh wished yg lain2 tu. Camnilah... kita celebrate Raya 3 bulan, CNY 3 bulan, Deepavali 3 bulan n X'mas 3 bulan! Eeeeeeee bestnyer...... dapat makan banyak2 sepanjang tahun!!!!

Assalamualaikum Tun,

Yes hari raya its the magical time of the year. Sorry that I couldn't make it to place this year Tun perhaps next year I will try my best to be at your place insyallah. I was glad to see there were many Malaysians celebrating hari raya at your open house. Everyone seems happy be it friends or foes of yours. Sometimes hari raya makes me wonder the magical that it have where it would bring us Malaysians closer together but only in one instance last year I think where pak lah celebrated hari raya open house where some indians thugs from the racist group hindraf tainted the prime minister open house hari raya and no action was taken on them. I wonder why?

I surely hope that Malaysians will learn the meaning of being true Malaysians and pledge our loyalty to our beloved country. We can learn from our previous experiences that we are the most unique nation on the face of the earth. In an another words we will live, work and die in this land of ours so we better be sincere Malaysians in building the nation as one before some yankees come and try to tell us what to do with our nation and we don't need that. I truly believe that we Malaysians can shape our own destiny and we don't want any of our leaders or the so called "saviour" of democracy and reformasi and nasi basi running to these yankees like cry babies and then turn back to us and tell us how to run the country like the yankees did.

Lastly Tun I wish you selamat hari raya and the best of luck. "Hidup Tun Dr Mahathir, dulu, kini dan selamanya the true Malaysian Statesman" Viva Mahathir...... May Allah bless you and us all, Aminn.... By radenAuthor Profile Page on September 30, 2009 10:11 AM

Dear TUN Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri buat Tun dan sekeluarga apa yang di impikan Tun untuk menjadikan Rakyat Malaysia menjadi Satu Bangsa adalah satu impian ianya boleh menjadi realiti sekiranya mereka di satukan dengan satu agama atau sekurang kurangnya satu bahasa lihat sahaja negeri jiran indonesia yang mana soekarno telah menjadikan rakyatnya satu bangsa tiada kita nanpak kecuali bahasa indonesia sama ada nama, tulisan tulisan. kita tidak lihat tulisan dan nama kecuali indonesia baik mereka dari cina india arab dan lain lain.

Salam buat YABhg Negarawan Tun Dr Mahathir,

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri kepada Tun dan keluarga. Semoga sentiasa diberikan kesihatan yang cukup baik oleh Allah SWT hendaknya.

Saya tertarik dengan artikel Tun ini. Semoga kecerian perayaan di Malaysia yang diraikan oleh semua kaum berterusan dan berpanjangan.

Namun, saya ada beberapa persoalan yang bermain di fikiran berkenaan beberapa perkara.

1. Kenapa ramai ahli politik tidak berlumba-lumba untuk merealisasikan Satu Sekolah Untuk Semua? Sedangkan objektif yang ingin dicapai adalah sangat murni dengan tujuan yang bertepatan dengan kehendak Perlembagaan. Satu Sekolah Untuk Semua tidak bersalahan pun dengan mana-mana peruntukan Perlembagaan. Apa yang perlu dibuat ialah sedikit pindaan ke atas Akta Pendidikan 1996. Akta sememangnya dari semasa ke semasa boleh dipinda (sama seperti kes kumpulan tertentu memberikan tekanan agar ISA dipinda). Dan selama ini pun banyak pindaan telah dilakukan ke atas banyak Akta.

2. Kenapa para pejuang bahasa di dalam GMP & Pena begitu marah apabila Kerajaan melaksanakan PPSMI dengan alasan Kerajaan tidak mendaulatkan Bahasa Melayu. (Sehingga ada yang mengarak Keranda 152 ke jalanan). Tetapi dalam masa yang sama bersekongkol dengan pertubuhan chauvinis dengan memaksa Kerajaan mengembalikan pengajaran dan pembelajaran Matematik dan Sains ke dalam bahasa ibunda masing-masing. Kenapa tidak mereka-mereka (dalam GMP & Pena) ini memberikan tekanan agar semua sekolah menggunapakai BM sebagai bahasa pengantar UTAMA? Kenapa tidak pula diarak Keranda 152? Terdaulatkah bahasa Melayu dengan tindakan persekongkolan Pena (GMP) ini dengan pihak chauvinis?

Dengan izin: http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=2009&dt=0710&pub=utusan_malaysia&sec=Pen didikan&pg=pe_01.htm

3. Saya sehingga kini masih percaya dan berharap agar suatu hari nanti semua Anak Bangsa Malaysia boleh bersekolah di sekolah yang sama dengan menggunapakai bahasa Melayu sebagai bahasa pengantar utama, PPSMI turut ditekankan demi keuntungan jangka panjang anak-anak kita. Bahasa Inggeris wajib diperkasa. Bahasa Tamil, Mandarin, Arab dan lain-lain bahasa yang difikirkan wajar turut sama ditawar sebagai mata pelajaran elektif di sekolah-sekolah. Adakah rakyat tidak mahu turut serta berusaha merealisasikan impian ini?

4. Saya begitu tertarik dan mendokong penuh usaha yang dijalankan oleh segelintir individu yang berpadu tenaga mempromosikan idea Satu Sekolah Untuk Semua. Mungkin idea ini akan mengambil masa yang lama untuk diterimapakai oleh semua rakyat. Tetapi sekurang-kurangnya ada usaha yang dijalankan. Semoga mereka-mereka ini sentiasa komited dan tidak mudah mengaku kalah. Usaha ini nampaknya disokong oleh ramai komuniti blogger (dan juga rakyat). Saya percaya majoriti senyap mahukan perkara yang betul dilaksanakan.

5. Berikut adalah laman blog pejuang yang komited berusaha ke arah pembentukan perpaduan yang sebenar.

It is indeed a bleesing country. The old days of good ethic malay politicans are gone in Malaysia. Today, it is filled with corrupted Malay politician within UMNO. It is quite amazed and amused by the appointment of Isa as a candidate in Bagan Pinang election. This has poved that how desperate of UMNO by choosing a tainted politican. UMNO's weakness has been exposed again. It is a double standard of practice by the UMNO.

As a Malaysian, our wish and your wishes remain the same objective, "Please save our country from these corrupted politican". By mgpunyaAuthor Profile Page on September 30, 2009 9:44 AM

YABhg Tun,

..such an honest statement from you. But, I supposed, we can say anything we like now that we are "outside" of politics. But sir, an honest statement from you nevertheless. I was watching the RTM news the other day and I find it funny that the newscaster..after over 50 years Merdeka still make comments like...." Ya...semua kaum...India..Cina..Melayu..ada bersama -sama di rumah terbuka.....". The point that I wanted to make here is....we'll be forever be conscious of our ethnic background and therefore divided if people like these keep reminding everone of our race, our racial background. But, who are we to make such statements right? After all....in the US..they still call whites,..whites and black,....black and arabs.....terrorist! and you're talking about the most...so called...liberated and democratic country on planet earth.

RUMAH TERBUKA BAGI MEREKA YANG MAMPU & MEREKA YANG "MEMERLUKAN"

1.0 SELAMAT HARI RAYA ISA SAMAD

1.1 ISA masih diperlukan di Malaysia

1.2 ISA juga masih diperlukan di Bagan Pinang@Teluk Kemang

1.3 ISA amat "MEMERLUKAN" banyak RUMAH TERBUKA HARI RAYA!

2.0 HAPPY DEEPAVALI SAMY VELLU

2.1 SAMY masih diperlukan oleh MIC?

2.2 SAMY masih diperlukan oleh masyarakat India?

2.3 SAMY amat "MEMERLUKAN" banyak RUMAH TERBUKA DEEPAVALI!

UMNO mesti bersedia jika rakyat menolak BN secara total dalam PRU13 nanti. Samy dan Isa antara orang yang perlu bertanggungjawab sepenuhnya jika keadaan ini terjadi.

PM dan TPM juga perlu sama bertanggungjawab kerana tidak peka dengan kehendak dan aspirasi rakyat terutamanya golongan muda yang telah banyak berubah dan menolak pemimpin- pemimpin lama yang telah banyak terpalit dengan pelbagai isu politik wang, rasuah dan salah guna kuasa.

Dear Tun, Selamat hari Raya Aidilfitri.. I ve a few comments upon the celebrating so called Hari Raya Open house or Kong Hee Fat Choi, Christmas and soon.. I remembered during my young time in 1960s and 70s, this so called open house was never been renowned. Every body is wellcome to anyone house especially in kampong. Soon after the hari raya Pray, every body would make a group among them . Orang dewasa dengan orang dewasa, remaja dengan remaja , wanita dengan kaum wanitanya . Pergi beraya dari rumah kerumah tak kira orang kaya dan miskin. Setengah orang tua tua kata, jika orang datang beraya kerumah kita itu maknanya rezeki. Perlu kita layan sebaik baiknya. Amat meriah sekali terutama anak anak .. Tapi hari ini sambutan perayaan hari raya lain sekali caranya. Tunggu ada panggilan Open Hosue baru beraya, walaupun bersebelahan rumah atau di depan rumah. Lebih lebih lagi jika berjauhan sikit. yang sangat merisaukan saya ialah the words Open Hosue . Perhaps for yang di pertuan Agong , atau Perdana menteri dan menteri menteri yang lain, perkataan Open house tu sesuai lah, sebab mereka orang orang kenamaan. Keselamatan mereka di utamakan . Tetapi orang orang kebiasaan kini pun terikut ikut dengan istilah open house. Tunggu panggilan telefon atau jemputan melalui SMS untuk beraya. yang di jemput pula hanya di kalangan rakan rakan yang rapat sahaja. Jika tak ada jemputan maka terasa segan untuk datang kerumah rakan berkenaan. Ini lah trend masa kini yang saya rasa sudah lari dari concept sambutan hari raya yang sebenar. Sepatutnya kita mengamalkan concept kunjung mengunjungi . Bukan menunggu jemputan Open house. Bayangkan lah macam saya hanya saorang kakitangan kerajaan biasa nak mengadakan Open House hari Raya . Orang orang yang datang dari seluruh pelusuk negeri, bukan kah huru hara jadinya ..siapalah saya nak menyediakan makanan dengan perbelanjaan beratus ratus ribu ringgit... Seperkara lagi yang perlu kita fikirkan istilah Open House itu atau Rumah Terbuka . Kenapa tidak kita guna istilah seperti " Majlis Hari Raya " sahaja, rasanya ia lebih sinonim dengan peradaban negara kita . Sesuai dengan semua golongan termasuk orang yang berada dan yang kurang berada. Sekian Tun, terima kasih Selamat hari Raya kepada semua pembaca , maaf zahir dan batin.

I think, that was a good write-up, a sincere thought. I am sure everyone in Malaysia might agree to that. Common people have no issues in mingling with one another. We don't have trouble working and associating with each other in the workplace. We seldom really notice racial differences even in the public places, for example in the hospitals, people of different racial backgrounds tend to chat with one another, expressing concern while waiting to get treatment etc. Yet some of us are suspicious of other races, which I think is unnatural, and is certainly the making of the politicians. By DessAuthor Profile Page on September 30, 2009 9:14 AM

Tun, Let's keep it that way. Let's have Selamat Hari Raya, Kong Hee Fatt Choy, Happy Deepavalli and Merry Christmas forever and ever. That is the bond that make us Malaysian. Have another special day.."Selamat Hari Malaysia" , where we celebrate a common festival.. Sounds good, eh? maybe May 19th..? We can have all the famous malaysian dishes to offer to all.. Offer them: Laksa, Mee Curry, nasi lemak(Singapore jangan marah...), Tosei, Strawberry cup cakes, moon cakes, etc, etc....

Tun, You are right but i believe it is more due to the availability of free food rather than anything else.

At one time many years ago i brave myself and took my family to attend a orang besar open house at Mont Kiara. It was Dato Rafidah Aziz's one.

We were quietly waiting for more satay to arrive, and to my horror those waiting were not patient and rushed for the satay man while he was about to reach the long table. Hands shot up as if some primitive instinct tells them if they do not, they will not survive this cold summer.

And what surprised me even more are that those who went after food without consideration are those who looks like me - urban chinese. Despicable!

Sine then i do not dare to go to any more orang besar open house.

Asmkm Ybhg Tun

Open house ini kita anggaplah satu tradisi masyarakat Malaysia yang membina.

Saya juga berkongsi pendapat yang sama dengan Ybhg Tun. Beberapa tahun ini memang nampak isu-isu agama dan kemasyarakatan dimainkankan oleh sebilangan besar ahli politik atau kumpulan individu, khususnya dari pihak-pihak yang belum lagi mahu bertaubat, tak kira dari agama mana, atas kejahatan masing-masing. Harapan saya mereka-mereka ini mendapat laknat dalam masa-masa terdekat.

Sudah berpuluh tahun saya berurusan jual beli dengan orang Cina dan India dan lain-lain bangsa samaada di supermarket, pasar malam, petaling street, pasar road atau kedai-kedai sekitar Malaysia. Saya perhatikan semua orang seronok berjual beli. Inilah hakikat budaya hidup kita di Malaysia atau peraadaban yang dipraktikkan oleh semua bangsa, khususnya orang Melayu ditanahair kita. Kekadang saya terpikir juga, keharmonian kita yang ada ini mungkinkah sama dengan kegemilangan Empayar Melaka zaman Melayu dahulu tanpa gangguan penjajahan anasir-anasir luar. Selalu juga apabila memijak tanah Melaka, saya teringat fakta sejarah yang diajar di sekolah tentang ciri-ciri baik kekuatan Empayar Melayu Melaka, satu kerajaan yang dikenali dunia.

Memang wajar kita perlu ambil tindakan ke atas individu-inidividu jahat dalam masyarakat seberapa segera yang boleh. Tak bolehkah satu program intensif dibuat, seperti Ops Sikap atau Ops Lalang, untuk membersihkan individu-individu jahat ini?

Salam kasih untuk Ybhg Tun.

Assalamu'alaikum, Yang Amat Berbahagia Tun Dr. Mahathir, Para Blogger yang dihormati,

Izinkan...

I am not an expert on intellectual property (IP). But when Indonesia made many claims on the first right of use (batik, dances and national anthem), I cannot help but become sensitive.

Perhaps it is timely to learn a bit on IP issues and perhaps this is the reason Tun brought up the subject on "open house" as a Malaysian invention (for example).

But I am not sure if it could be classified as a "copyright", since copyright is applied to "written" ideas. "written" here means produced in hardcopy, softcopy, online, electronic or magnetic medium. Thus copyright applies to text written in various medium, including all postings on this blog. All my postings (my two sen ideas) on this blog are automatically copyrighted, and I am the rightful owner. People can use these only by quoting my name: penyumenagis, publisher: chedet.co.cc, date XXXX, otherwise they may face some legal action.

"Malaysian open house" is a cultural practice and not a tangible finish product.

I wonder if it can be categorised under "geographical indicator" (GI). GI is also a class of IP (besides, patent, trademark, copyright), and GI associates a particular product with the geographical location, eg. champaigne (wine), jaffa (orange), washington state (apple). Some Malaysian products could be classified as GI, eg. Kluang (coffee), Selangor (pewter), Kajang (satay). I have no idea if these have been filed under GI.

Perhaps, the government and our IP office (MyIPO), should seriously think on these IPs before we lose the first right of claim (to our neighbour) again.

What is the benefit?

Well... to have the first right of claim as an inventor is important and good for morale.

What is the commercial interest?

We can export this "open house practice" abroad. "Malaysian open house" can be a "product" like "hi-tea" in Malaysian hotel chains.

"hi-tea" actually originated from the cultural practice of Scotland. Traditionally, Scottish people served highland tea (hi-tea) in the afternoon. Since Scots are known to be more generous than English, hi-tea contains a wide ranging spread of foods compare to ordinary English tea (eg. with tea and scones only).

Moreover, "Malaysian Open House" can be a different cultural product from "hi-tea" by adding the correct ambience (eg. men and women dressing up in multi-colors), to give the muhibbah warmth and welcoming feeling to the guests.

Just to balance the discussion, the whole issue on IP is relatively new (less than 200 years ago) a western invention.

Just recently, I was told off by my European guest, when I uploaded a copy of the Al-Quarn with translation (which I had legally purchased) to our server and allow members to share. In his opinion I was breaching the copyright law. I told him that the author of Al-Quran is God (Allah), and He does not mind people use "HIS" idea (Al-Quran). He was silenced on this, but he protested further, what about the person who digitise the Al-Quran. Well, I think this person does not mind either, since in a Muslim mind-set, knowledge belongs to Allah (Alhamdullilah). Knowledge MUST be shared and become public domain. Muslims collect dividen, interest, payments only from God in the hereafter. None of our members access to the Al-Quran I had uploaded; they prefer to download from other public domain sites.

But (to balance again) since we live in a modern society conforming to civilized practises, the IP laws must be respected, otherwise, no one will respect us. We must respect the owner of inteligent idea, otherwise, we impoverish these special people. I support the IP laws. Usually, this law applies for a duration of peiod, (eg. for patent, it is 17 years). After this period, the IP belongs to the public.

Wassalam... my two-sen idea (c).

Ayahanda Tun sekeluarga, assalamualaikum......

Nak tergelak juga bila dengar Nik Aziz jemput Ayahanda Tun ke Kelantan. Kalau betul - betul ikhlas kenapa perlu jemput melalui media. Hai, ada apa - apa ke?

Bukan setakat Ayahanda Tun sahaja, kepada sesiapa sahaja yang ingin melawat Kota Bharu Bandaraya Islam atau pun Negeri Serambi Mekah yang mengamalkan slogan Membangun Bersama Islam silalah datang. Insyaallah saya akan jadi pemandu pelancong untuk membawa pelawat ke tempat - tempat menarik seperti Tokong Buddha terbesar di Asia Tenggara dan premis - pemis jualan minuman keras, yang mana lesennya dikeluaran oleh PBT selepas tahun 1990 ataupun premis - premis yang tidak pernah memiliki lesen semenjak Pas memerintah tetapi tiada tindakan diambil terhadap premis - premis tersebut.

Pelawat juga boleh melawat Pejabat Tanah Dan Jajahan di seluruh Kelantan untuk menyemak siapa sebenarnya pemilik tanah anugerah kerajaan negeri.

Islam agama suci. Jangan guna Islam untuk kepentingan diri. Insyaallah...... By naharAuthor Profile Page on September 29, 2009 11:59 PM

Tun; Saya baru sahaja selesai menghadiri Open House anjuran UMNO cawangan Ipoh Barat, di bangunan UMNO Ipoh.

Setibanya dirumah saya terus buka blogs Tun. Memang bagus cadangan Tun.

Jamuan itu telah dihadiri oleh berbagai lapisan masyarakat dan kaum. Keadaan kelihatan mesra sekali dalam suasana aman.

Kesimpulanya: hubungan kaum dalam negara kita ini tidak ada cacat celanya jika tiada penghasut/pengacau/pemfitnah dan lain-lain yang sewaktu dengannya.

Saranan Tun seperti perkara 6 dibawah memang baik sekali.

(6. Maybe we should have continuous festivals throughout the year. Then we would come together the whole year long to celebrate and get to know each other. Maybe then we would be able to create a bangsa Malaysia.)

Tradisi ini jika dapat disejagatkan secara berterusan(bagi setiap perayaan)sehingga oleh jenerasi akan datang.

Sudah pasti lambat laun satu hari nanti akan menjadi satu budaya yang diwariskan sebagai Budaya Bangsa Malaysia.

Assalamualaikum Tun,

Malaysia is truly unique as we live in a multiracial and multireligious country. It was said when we first gain independence, the British thought that this country would not last as the people are from too diversified with many races and religions. Chaos would reign. But after 50 years of independence, Malaysia and its people continue to prosper. Indeed, our diversity has become our strength. We are able to tolerate each other.

I think the 1 Malaysia concept is good, as it reminds us that we are who we are, a very diversified lot, but we are all Malaysians, and we should remain united, for the sake of the country and future generations.

Having such vast diversities, would some way or another invite conflicts as the many races and religions make demands. How the government act, is a very difficult balance to ensure every race is satisfied.

Humans, by nature, is a very complex being. They are not like computers or robots that can be programed to do a certain function and just do it. They cannot be programed to don't raise racial sentiments, don't demonstrate; don't do this or that and they would simply follow it. If that can be done, there would be no war and conflicts on this earth. Of course, if that can be done, then they are not humans but robots.

Instead, humans are emotional beings. Each person is unique. Each race are unique. Conflicts arises when these races disagree with one another. It becomes worst when the races are even segregated at schools or universities.

Having the open house is a very good concept. It lets the many races come together and try to understand and appreciate each other. Hopefully, this will help reduce racial barrier and misunderstandings among the many races. Hopefully, this will show the world that the country is stable and good for investments and business opportunities. We sometimes take our country stability for granted, as not all countries can achieve it like in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, etc. As the countries are not stable, the government cannot progress the nation and instead focus on solving the conflicts first. Business would not come. Job opportunities are lost. Thus, the people are neglected and suffer.

Having too many festivals may not be a good idea, as one would ask who would be running the factories and the government. However, I was made to understand, that for factories, if its Hari Raya, then the chinese or non-malay would be working overtime, and when it's Chinese New Year, some of the malays would work overtime. So, the issue of factories closing does not arise as they are still people working. By GenYAuthor Profile Page on September 29, 2009 11:10 PM

Dear Tun,

Selamat Hari Raya. It was indeed true. We have always been stroked with racial sentiment by our politicians for their personal agenda. Or is it that our politicians need to grow up and be educated of the basics. Then they are not fit to represent. Really sick of our country's politics. Immatured and behaving like kids.

Our society especially the younger generations seems to be going astray. They have the lost the fundamental values. Very easily influenced by others. They need to be guided. But our education system doesn't seem to change with times.

Hope you will continue your unwavering critiques (constructive) hehehe...... By fawzAuthor Profile Page on September 29, 2009 10:35 PM

Assalamualaikum and Selamat Hari Raya Eidul Fitr Ayahanda Tun and Bonda Hasmah.

Indeed, all of us behave like truly 1Malaysia when come to celebrating festivities. I had chinese, indian and not to mention muslim friends that I know since Std 1 (I am now 45yrs old) visited me at home during Hari Raya...we openly talk about current issue without being aggravated whether it is related to malays or chinese etc...at the end we want the best for Malaysia.

The question is are we only being 1Malaysia during festivities??

This come to an experience I had today. I am now in Bangkok for work and today due to cancelled appointment I had early days and return to my hotel early and decided to go for brisk walk (trying to rid off calories I put on during Hari Raya week) at LUMPINI PARK near my hotel.

There are many people exercising ..jogging and walking etc. at the park.....there are a moment in time suddenly everyone stood still(THOSE WHO JOG OR WALK STOPPED AND THOSE SITTING ON THE BENCH OR GRASS STOOD UP)...I am surprised. Then I realised that the THAI NATIONAL ANTHEM was playing on the loud speaker at the park...

The effect on the THAIs (young and old) is instantaneous when they heard the NATIONAL ANTHEM...it tell something about respect and national spirit.

I wonder, if NEGARAKU played in the park or malls etc...will all Malaysian do the same.....instantaneously stood still and sign of respect...PERHAPS WE SHOULD DO A TEST...

I hope our MALAYSIAN SPIRIT does not only prevail during festivities only..rather it is demonstrated in our daily life...

May ALLAH bless you TUN and BONDA HASMAH also to our leaders and off course to our BELOVED NATION.

WASSALAM. By haliamudaAuthor Profile Page on September 29, 2009 10:20 PM

Salam Tun,

Apa Pendapat Tun kalau kat Malaysia ni kita wujudkan hanya sekolah Kebangsan sahaja...ke arah 1Malaysia.

Boleh kupas isu ini.

Terima kasih. By njAuthor Profile Page on September 29, 2009 10:19 PM he..he..he...

Kita bangsa Malaysia hanya bersatu (?), 4 kali setahun (di hari rumah terbuka Hari raya, Krismas, Kong Hee Fatt Choy dan Deepavali)

Anak-anak kita yang hari-hari pergi sekolah (kecuali cuti) tidak boleh bersatu sebab hari-hari mereka pergi ke sekolah kebangsaan, sebahagian ke SRJK (Tamil), sebahagian lagi SRJK (China) dan entah apa-apa lagi jenis sekolah yang ada.

Boleh ke nak ujud satu Bangsa Malaysia dengan hanya bergaul di rumah terbuka saja 4 kali setahun? Bukankah lebih elok kalau HARI-HARI bergaul di SATU SEKOLAH sahaja?

Sign PETITION ni dan ikuti perkembangannya di DI SINI, demi Negara dan Bangsa serta Bahasa!

SATU BANGSA, SATU NEGARA, SATU BAHASA

Assalamualaikum Tun,

1. Selamat Hari Raya diucapkan kepada Tun sekeluarga. Saya setuju dengan pendapat Tun bahawa rakyat malaysia semua kaum boleh hidup bersama aman damai..."They all seem to get along fine with each other....all seem to behave like true Malaysians". Itu yang Tun lihat...itu juga yang rakyat rasa...

2. Keharmonian ini akan terus hidup subur kalau dipelihara atas sikap persefahaman dan saling menghormati di antara kaum..Ini lah yang uniknya Malaysia.

3. Malangnya...pemimpin politik ( sama saja parti BN juga pembangkang)khususnya sering menggunakan isu2 perkauman sebagai modal lapuk politik untuk mendapat sokongan..

4. Apabila keadaan terdesak, mulalah menggunakan isu-isu yang melibatkan sensitivi kaum di sentuh...maka keharmonian dan kesuburan hubungan kaum tergugat...secara tiada pilihan rakyat terpaksa menyokong kaum sendiri dalam kontek survival politik atau survival 'kaum' masing2 yang kononnya akan terhapus jika bla...bla...bla...

5. Ini Modal politik terdesak.

6. Justeru, tunggu sampai 50 tahun lagi pun intergrasi nasional tidak akan tercapai. Ia hanya sebuah retorik .kosmetik semata-mata. Ini kerana tiada keikhlasan dalam pengisian untuk merealisasikan nya sebagai sebuah gagasan yang dijunjung oleh rakyat seluruhnya.

7. 1Malaysia. sehingga kini saya sendiri tidak faham tentang konsepnya. pada saya ia hanya SLOGAN kosong.. tiada penghayatan....Halatuju tak jelas...Matlamat tak jelas...komitmen...siapa yang Commit! Rakyat...rakyat pun tak faham..

8. SLOGAN ini akan jadi slogan yang paling cepat rakyat lupa sebaik sahaja DSN berundur atau tidak lagi menjadi PM. Lainlah WAWASAN 2020 seperti TUN lancarkan dulu ia sangat jelas..matlamat dan halatujunya....tapi sayangnya apabila datang PM Pak Lah...wawasan 2020 diupakan....adala pula Slogan Baru..ISLAM HADHARI...tetapi tenggelam dalam Corridor nya...PM DS Najib pula dengan 1Malaysia.....kita tengok saja lah kemana perginya.

9. Tun, hairan bin ajaib...PM-PM baru ni seolah-olah nak cari populariti sendiri saja...... kenapa tak di gendong WAWASAN 2020 untuk direalisasikan...barulah ada kesinambungan dari Pemimpin dahulu dan sekarang...pada saya WAWASAN 2020 yang dicetuskan oleh Tun adalah wawasan rakyat malaysia. Kita rakyat malaysia mahu lihat kemajuan, keharmonian supaya kekayaan ini dapat dikongsi oleh semua, hidup aman damai tanpa prejudis antara satu sama lain.

10. Integrasi Nasional sangat penting dalam pembinaan Malaysia ke arah sebuah negara Maju dan berdaulat. Justeru kalau Gagasan 1Malaysia nak direalisasikan, saya cadangkan:- i. Melalui Pendidikan: Hanya wujudkan sekolah Kebangsaan sahaja kat Malaysia ini. Ini perkara pertama yang perlu dilakukan.

Setakat ini saja komen saya...

Maaf Zahir Batin Tun,Semoga sihat selalu.

If having celebrations is the pathway to bangsa Malaysia by all means we should party Tun! Well, we all know it is a complex, never ending road to achieve a moving target.

Obama says "We are one", Najib says "1Malaysia". What are the ramifications of such slogans? The former implies among others: i) Reinforces unity and support as in a bundle of sticks tied together; ii) Number one in the world; iii)Differences do not make any difference.

For the latter if I could interpret correctly: i)Is Najib trying to imitate Obama? If so it is a whimper; ii)There are 2 or more Malaysias. In fact there are - W Malaysia and E Malaysia. I spent 7 years in Sarawak and could see the vast differences between the two. There is no road to reach the upland interior, until quite recently the road leading from Mukah to Selangau was in terrible conditions, and we heard the plight of the Penans. It is as if E Malaysia di anak tirikan. iii) Unity seems to be the chief aim but doesn't having 1lagu, 1budaya, 1pemikiran? If everybody think the same then no one is thinking. We must nurture diversity of ways of life and harvest its potential.

If celebrations lead to greater interactions and more mix-matrimonials then it is good for heterotic effect. My genes are of Minangkabau, Peranakan and other wild descendents. The Chinese often speak to me (in their tongue) but I can't understand. What a pity I said to myself. As an excuse jokingly I would say "Saya Cina sudah lama masuk Melayu!

Peranakan patun( by Si Melata. 1894. Pantun penganten)

Hal nikah tepok rebana, Perkara baik bukannya hina. Karangan burok tiada guna, Buat ramai tambah warna.

Bilik cantek berbagei bagei, Dalam kelambu berbau stanggi. Malam berchakap sampai pagi, Chuchi muka kiasai pergi.

Dearest Tun,

Although we love to have festivities all year long, we have to remember that the country's productivity will not sustain the rate as we currently achieving.

Selamat hari raya buat Tun sekeluarga dan seluruh umat islam di dunia. By NHAAuthor Profile Page on September 29, 2009 9:34 PM salam lebaran tun,

"6.Maybe we should have continuous festivals throughout the year."

Then, there'd be too many public holidays, and less work. Less work, people get lazier, tun.

Isn't Malaysia already famous for having too many public holidays? By pakbelalangAuthor Profile Page on September 29, 2009 9:15 PM kah,kah,kah !! What a joke !! You are just great Tun.

You read my mind very well... :) By danial the foxAuthor Profile Page on September 29, 2009 8:59 PM

Looks like I'm the first to drop my comment here..Hehe..I definitely, 100% agree with Tun's idea that we should have festivals throughout the year.The more festivals, the more holiday for the student(like me). Hehe..kiddin'..Even my sensei(teacher) really surprised how we could live peacefully in this multi-races country. (For Tun's information, i'm one of the student under the Look East Policy). Hehe, thank you Tun for giving me chance to further my study to Japan. It's been my dream since i was a kid. By passion1Author Profile Page on September 29, 2009 8:45 PM

Salam Tun,

Selamat hari Raya to you and family.

3. It is true that the country can be really peaceful, if politicians do not play up racial sentiment. As the man on the streets,no matter what race you may be, when we do not join any political party, our main concern is to guarantee three meals on the table for the family. It is the responsibility of the ruling government to take care of our welfare, by maintaining peace in the country, so that we can work when the economy is stable. The BN coalition would still be the preferred government had it not been for all the Arrogance and overly protective policies. The poor raayat worked very hard to put meals on the table, but politicians, by introducing policies create lots of problem for them,not helping them.

Dear Tun,

Selamat Hari Raya.

I grew up in a Malay kampung in Singapore and one of the most beautiful highlight of growing up in such an environment were the celebrations we had.

In addition to Malays, we had Chinese, Indians and even a Chindian family. So you can imagine, we had Hari Rayas with delicious rendang and homemade lontong. We even shared perbuka puasa meals complete with bubor masjid during Ramadhan; for the Lunar new Year my Chinese neighbours would ask the Malay aunty to cook so that everyone could come visit with them; our Hindu neighbours had their lively Deepavalis with deepams (lamps) lit and of course my family with our Christmas celebrations.

There was no need for the Singapore government to encourage us to love and respect one another and to enjoy each other's festivities, we just did. it was natural and it was beautiful.

I do miss the old days when everything was just beautiful. benedict By rarunasalamAuthor Profile Page on September 29, 2009 8:16 PM

Hi Tun as a leader of country - would you not see it as a paramount priority to have the country operating as a UNIT with a single Goal and making it fair and equitable for all concerned?

And to your point 4. - are you in support of having vernacular schools or not. Is yes - why?

If no - then why did you not as Education Minister in your time, and then PM in your 22 long years set a plan that would have seen the country progress into a single National Education system?

I guess, it's easy to have wordplay Tun - it's hard to deliver isn't it?

Would you rather be seen as a leader who introduced skyscrappers and mega projects than someone who built a strong intellectual foundation?

Sounds very inspiring. But in the reality & the history show only one race (the dominant) rules the others. Only one religion combines the races… By tunnusantaraAuthor Profile Page on September 29, 2009 7:50 PM

Salam Tun,

Setakat untuk Makan FREE... siapa tak nak?? I'm very sure if other countries have Free Makan open houses by their leaders (pres, pm, queens, etc.), E-V-E-R-Y Tom Dick & Harry would come.

Makan is human nature - where everyone can Tunjuk Baik 'cos dapat makan free.

The question is: WHY CANT THEY WILLINGLY LEARN TOGETHER IN SCHOOLS FROM YOUNG, just like how they are "willing" to be together to have Free Food???

Yes, Tun. Got your points on them HYPOCRITES!

Thanks & Wassalam.

Aslkam YBg Tun,

Apart from festival celebrations, another activity which eliminates race or religion as a barrier is sport. We have a football team in KK where the players are made of Malay, Chinese, Indian and Kadazan/Dusun. We call each other names, such as "stupid Malay" or stupid Chinese" and felt "no heart" from those name callings. During Hari Raya, the non-Muslim are invited to open house and so on.

Whether we can achieve a Bangsa Malaysia is another story. Because I think to achieve a Bangsa Malaysia we have to Chinanaised the Malay,the Indian the Kadazan/Dusun, Malaynaised the Indian,the Chinese the Kadazan/Dusun, Indianianised the Chinese, the Malay and the Kadazan/Dusun, Kadazan/Dusunaised the Malay, Chinese, Indian and so on. By wlAuthor Profile Page on September 29, 2009 7:06 PM

Tun, I agree with you that it's nice & enjoyable to attend open house during festive season.if you're at receiving end it's certainly enjoyable.But if you're the poor hostess you're be quite tired & completely washed out at the end of the night.It's certainly fine if you have many helpers to assist you & you just chat people up at the open house.As a kid i enjoyed my parents' open houses when my parents' friends came calling during our festive season.Missed those moments really.Nice to be very young again. I think it's rather early Tun to wish people Happy Deepavali,Merry X'mas & Kong Hee Fatt Choy for now. The day will come soon when we have a Bangsa Malaysia.

Selamat Hari Raya Maaf Zahir dan Batin untuk Yg Bhg Tun, Isteri serta seisi ahli Keluarga.

In actual fact event on open house in any festive seasons such as Hari Raya, Chinese New Year, Deepavali etc. really reflects the amazing relationship between races in Malaysia. Its really contradicted against the opinions by the politicians and others (NGO etc.). In view of that Malaysian should be very well united, have better understanding with each other and help the country to sustain our unity whereby the country could be very well develop. The politicians should totally stop using racial issues as one of their weapons to defeat each other and to win the heart of their supporters. The focus of the politicians should be more on how to develop the country and the needs of the people. Concept of 1 Malaysia should be well supported by all Malaysian because it is in line with the ongoing needs of the country and the people of Malaysia. Barisan Nasional has successfully ruled and develop the country for the last 52 years ago. Lets forget about supporting opposition parties (such as PKR and DAP)which do not really focus on the needs of the country for the benefit of the people but more for the individual needs of their leaders.

Lets the Malaysian live in harmony, sustain unity, help each other to build better prospect of the country.

Thank you and Selamat Hari Raya for all Malaysians. By pakngah45Author Profile Page on September 29, 2009 6:29 PM

Di Malaysia semangat perkauman bukan disebabkan ahli politik tapi beberapa akhbar cauvinis kaum tertentu yg mempunyai agenda jangka panjang yang tidak diketahui. Mereka inilah yang memupuk semangat ultrakiasu pada bangsa tertentu supaya terus menuntut yang bukan-bukan dan melanggar asas perlembagaan negara. Sikap bencikan kaum tertentu juga lahir dari urusan harian seseorang. Contoh di Malaysia seseorang yang ingin bekerja di syarikat tertentu perlu menguasai bahasa bukan kebangsaan. Ini akan menimbulkan prasangka dan kebencian. Begitu juga jika sikap sesuatu bangsa yang acapkali menipu untuk mengaut untung berlipat ganda, maka akan timbul persepsi tidak elok pada sesuatu bangsa sama ada mereka boleh dipercayai atau tidak.
