263 Comments by Rattiauthor Profile Page on May 25, 2010 3:01 PM RACIST LABEL chedet.co.cc May 7, 2010 1. I was asked by a Chinese reporter recently why I said the Chinese did not vote Barisan Nasional in Hulu Selangor. To avoid ballot boxes being tempered with or getting lost the counting is now done at the polling stations. 2. Obviously if the voters in a given station is overwhelmingly Malay and the votes are overwhelmingly for PAS then we can assume the Malays at that polling station did not vote for the BN. Similarly if the voters at a polling station are largely Chinese and the votes are largely for Pakatan, then it is obvious that the Chinese there did not vote for BN. 3. Perhaps it is because Perkasa appears to be racist that the Chinese are against BN. But Perkasa is not BN. Also the Chinese parties in BN are facing a crisis. What is happening now is that Malays are forming Non-Governmental Organisations because of Chinese attacks against the Malays and UMNO seems unable to defend them. 4. We hear a lot about demands by Chinese extremists questioning the provision of Malay special rights in the constitution, demanding an end to the NEP, reduction of quotas for Malay students. They even say the Malays are also "kaum pendatang" or immigrants. An article even claim that there is no such thing as a Malay race (read here). 5. UMNO remained silent. In fact when an UMNO member said that the Chinese and Indians are descendants of immigrants, he was suspended by UMNO. It seems to many Malays that UMNO is incapable of countering the attacks by Chinese extremists against Malays. 6. The NGOs like Perkasa feel that they have to rebut racist statements by the Chinese. And when they do they are labelled as racist. 7. The BN must remember that in the 2008 election it lost a lot of seats. Where it won the margins are very small. If a few hundred Malays decide not to vote BN, even the seats that it had won would be lost in the 13th General Election. 8. UMNO and the Government are facing a dilemma. In trying to win over the Chinese with allocations and abolishing New Economic Policy provisions, the BN will lose Malay support as indeed it did in 2008. On the other hand no matter how the Government try to satisfy Chinese demands, the Chinese have clearly rejected the BN. 9. The opposition is no alternative. They have shown no capacity to rule. 10. Playing race politics in Malaysia is dangerous. This country may find itself being governed by a weak Government. There will be more politicking and more racial conflicts. There will be instability and chaos. Then everyone, whatever race he may be will suffer. 11. The choice is ours. 263 Comments By rattiAuthor Profile Page on May 25, 2010 3:01 PM Wooo Tun.. seems like 80% of Malaysian or more are still a racist bunch! I don't understand one thing though.. why do some people keep saying that the Chinese and Indians will live poorly if they were still in China and India? It's funny that these people do not know the two countries well.. go , go and visit these two countries-you will see that there are more middle-class and rich people living in those countries compared to Malaysia! On why the so called non-Malays are probably doing better here is because they are not as lazy! Therefore, the question boils down to one thing.. you pick up your boom-boom and work hard to achieve something in life.. grab the opportunity! Don't sit and whine that the non-Malays are doing better and therefore they deserve the second-class citizen treatment! As a matter of fact, thanks to Tun, the Malays have advanced so much more materially, I believe there are far more rich Malays compared to rich Chinese now! Only people like me who has lost out in everything, I had to do my law courses on part-time basis.. then found out the companies were paying me much lower just based on my race! And you talking about racism! Get real fellas! By kulupaliAuthor Profile Page on May 25, 2010 1:29 PM Salam sejahtera Tun; Mohon izin kenyataan KHAIRI ALI, May 25, 2010. dan FAIRUZSTONE, May 22, 2010 Beliau ibaratkan ada strategi LEGION bagi menguasai politik di Malaysia. Saya setuju dengan anda berdasarkan senario semasa hari ini. Kerana Legion ini pandai ambil kesempatan dari kepincangan yang berlaku. Analisis politik kita adalah sama dan sependapat terhadap apa yang akan berlaku terhadap politik di Malaysia beberapa tahun akan datang. Sebagai Penganalisis Politik Bebas; kita berhak memberikan pandangan untuk selamatkan negara kita yang tersayang. Impian LEGION ini dengan mudah tercapai jika orang Melayu cenderong kepada berpecah belah, asyek LEKA , tidak sedar(tidak dapat meramal apa yg tersirat) dan MUDAH TERPEDAYA muslihat halus Legion ini. *****(Tidak seperti Tun yang pandai buat strategi bagi menghadapi sesuatu isu).***** Tetapi ada antara sahabat kita yang melayari blog tun ini mengatakan ini adalah isu yang SUDAH BASI......!!!!??. By khairi aliAuthor Profile Page on May 25, 2010 9:52 AM Salam Tun, Ini jawapan saya untuk fairuzstone : Untuk makluman, 'Legion' ialah sebuah sains fiksyen Hollywood, yang mengisahkan tentang makhluk asing yang ingin menakluk penempatan. Ia masih boleh didapati di pasaran dalam bentuk CD. Lalu, mereka bunuh, mereka menyamar, mereka transform jadi penduduk setempat, dan sebagainya. Semuanya kerana hendak menguasai penempatan! ----- Forwarded Message ---- From: mohd khairi wan ali To: Feriz Omar ; [email protected]; Tan Sri Ismail Hussein ; "[email protected]" Cc: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Sent: Thu, May 20, 2010 9:21:48 AM Subject: PRU-13 : PR 'LEGION' SEBELUM saya meneruskan tajuk di atas, ingin saya berkongsi cerita sikit. Saya masih ada saudara mara di Singapura. Bila saya tanya kepada generasi muda : apa orang Melayu buat kat Spura? Dia membalas : melalak (maksud menyanyi) dan main bola! Bila saya tanya kepada generasa lama : Suka berada dalam Spura? Responsnya begitu pantas : Lebih baik dari Malaysia! Bersih, berdisiplin, jenayah terkawal, dan kesihatan terjamin... 2 generasi... 1, tidak berpuas hati; dan 1 lagi, gembira dan bahagia...! Sekian. Baiklah, saya teruskan dengan tajuk: SETELAH 2 tahun memerhatikan perkembangan, bukan kemajuan, politik di tanah air - khususnya di Semenanjung - saya buat kesimpulan bahawa PRU ke-13 adalah pilihanraya 'Legion'. Ini kerana 'Legion' telah mampu menyelinap masuk ke dalam sensitiviti perkauman, dengan menuduh dan mendakwa, sesiapa saja yang bercakap tentang sesatu kaum, maka itu adalah perkauman! Bahkan, rasis! Legion ini : kenal apa itu demokrasi; tidak takut pada pejuang Islam; tidak pedulikan undang-undang yang ada, bahkan Perlembagaan pun; mereka memang suka mencabar pihak penguatkuasa, terutamanya Polis dan Mahkamah; mendabik dada melakukan keadilan, kesamarataan, dan kesaksamaan; mereka kata mereka mampu mengurus dengan telus, merit, dan ikhlas; mereka adalah pejuang hak asasi semua manusia; MEREKA ADALAH PEJUANG RAKYAT MALAYSIA. Legion kini : mempunyai sarang (tapak) tersendiri bila saja jumlah pengundi mencapai 20%; bila sampai jumlah pengundi 40% ke atas, mereka sudah pun berkuasa; mempunyai modal utama : kebebasan bersuara dan kekebalan Parlimen/DUN; aset utama mereka ialah tempat kelahiran mereka; aset sekitar ialah PAS, PKR, dan juga UMNO (Rujuk Nota di bawah); aset dokongan ialah generasi baru dari semua kaum, dan termasuklah mereka yang benci kepada UMNO, istimewa sekali warga korporat Melayu. Siapakah legion ini? Warganegara Malaysia keturunan Cina! Parti teras dan mentor mereka ialah DAP. NOTA : UMNO di lihat sebagai aset 'Legion' adalah kerana sudah lari dari perjuangan Melayu (Atau boleh juga disebut : terus menerus menipu orang Melayu). Contohnya, membina bangsa Malaysia; membina negara-bangsa sedangkan maksudnya ialah negara pelbagai bangsa; turut memperjuangkan hak asasi manusia, keadilan sosial, persamaan, dll. Semua ini menjadi 'feeder' kepada Legion. LAGI PUN, SEGALA PERANCANGAN PEMBANGUNAN PUSAT TETAP DILAKSANAKAN WALAU PUN DI KAWASAN PEMBANGKANG! SAYA HARAP PEMBACA SEKALIAN DAPAT MENGAITKAN KISAH ORANG MELAYU DI SINGAPURA SEPERTI YANG DICERITAKAN DENGAN APA YANG SEDANG BERLAKU DI SEMENANJUNG MALAYSIA. SAYA BERHARAP JUGA PEMIMPIN UMNO, YANG SEDANG MEMBUAT BEDAH SIASAT SIBU, DAPAT MANFAATKAN PERSPEKTIF INI SEBAIK MUNGKIN. By HBTAuthor Profile Page on May 22, 2010 12:42 PM Ayahanda Tun, Malaysian Insider's Reuters news..... //World A: largersmallerresetEmail Print Thai turmoil turns spotlight on silent king May 21, 2010BANGKOK, May 21 — Revered King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the only monarch most Thais have ever known and Thailand’s unifying father figure, has remained silent as political mayhem unlike anything seen before in the kingdom unfolded this week. The 82-year-old king (picture), in hospital since September and undergoing physical therapy after a bout with pneumonia, according to the palace, has defused previous crises in his 63-year reign. But not this time. Thailand’s fundamental divide between the disenfranchised poor and what they call an “establishment elite” represents a collapse of a traditional order in Thailand at a time when people have begun to broach the hitherto taboo topic of succession. “It could be difficult for the king to intervene without appearing to favour one side or the other, and thus potentially compromising his authority as a parental figure dedicated to the well-being of all Thai people,” said Danny Richards, analyst at the Economist Intelligence Unit. Worse would be if a royal initiative failed to stop the violence, Richards said. Thailand’s severe lese majeste laws forbid people to say or write anything publicly critical of the king, regarded as almost divine in the traditional Thai Buddhist culture. Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn does not command the same devotion his father does, and some from the “establishment elite” think it is time to face the succession question. “We should be brave enough to go through all of this and even talk about the taboo subject of monarchy,” Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya said at a seminar last month at Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies in Washington.

While en route to the Western Ocean between 1405 and 1433, a fleet led by an envoy of the Ming dynasty, Admiral Cheng Ho, visited several times the Malacca Sultanate, which was centred in the modern-day state of Malacca, Malaysia. As a result, some Chinese chose to stay back in Malacca and married the locals.

  • LOSS of CONFIDENCE Chedet.Co.Cc September 20, 2008 by Dr
    LOSS OF CONFIDENCE Chedet.co.cc September 20, 2008 by Dr. Mahathir Mohamad 1. I was reading the comments on my blog on 'Mengingati Pejuang-Pejuang', when I came across a comment which respectfully disagreed with me that the defeat of BN in the General Election was not due to support for the opposition but disaffection with BN. 2. He said if that was the case they could have voted for the third candidate who actually lost his deposit. 3. I had lost in the Election of 1969 in a constituency with 35,000 voters of whom 30,000 were Malays. I had won in this constituency in 1964 with more than 4,000 votes majority. I figured that in 1969 that even if the non-Malay voters did not vote for me I would still win because support for me amongst the Malays had increased by almost 3,000. 4. But what happened shocked me because Chinese voters not only refused to vote for me, which meant a loss of 3,000 votes but they voted for PAS. I needed 6,000 more votes to replace 3,000 voters who did not vote for me and another 3,000 because they voted for PAS. 5. I lost by 900 votes. If the voters who were dissatisfied with UMNO and BN voted for a third party or refuse to vote, the BN would lose these votes but may still win if the margin previously was big and the opposition did not get additional votes. But when votes were taken away from BN there would be a decrease in BN votes.

  • Country Profile : Malaysia
    Country Profile : Malaysia Introduction: Malaysia, a country located in Southeast Asia. There are two distinct parts to this country being Peninsular Malaysia to the west and East Malaysia to the east. Peninsula bordering Thailand and northern one-third of the island of Borneo, bordering Indonesia, Brunei, and the South China Sea, south of Vietnam. During the late 18th and 19th centuries, Great Britain established colonies and protectorates in the area of current Malaysia; these were occupied by Japan from 1942 to 1945. In 1948, the British-ruled territories on the Malay Peninsula except Singapore formed the Federation of Malaya, which became independent in 1957. Malaysia was formed in 1963 when the former British colonies of Singapore, as well as Sabah and Sarawak on the northern coast of Borneo, joined the Federation. The first several years of the country's independence were marred by a communist insurgency, Indonesian confrontation with Malaysia, Philippine claims to Sabah, and Singapore's withdrawal in 1965. Note: Representative map 1 Country Profile : Malaysia Population The total population of Malaysia during 2015 was estimated to be 30,513,848. Malaysians are the people who are identified with the country of Malaysia. This connection may be residential, legal, historical, or cultural. For most Malaysians, several (frequently all) of those types of connections exist and are the source(s) of their being considered Malaysians. Although citizens make up the majority of Malaysians, non-citizen residents and overseas Malaysians may also claim a Malaysian identity. The country is home to people of many different kinds of national origins and ethnicities.

This campaign seeks to promote unity among the nation’s diverse population. The thesis uses the concept of political technologies to analyze the 1Malaysia campaign and show how it draws on, but also differs from other similar strategies in the nation’s history. I will analyze the ways that the state in colonial and post-colonial Malaysia created political tools to manage diverse ethnic and religious groups. This thesis addresses a shift in state policy that may offer insights into the strategies pursued by other postcolonial governments that have diverse ethnic and religious groups.

  • Thirteenth General Elections (Ge13): Chinese Votes and Implications on Malaysian Politics
    Kajian Malaysia, Vol. 32, Supp. 2, 2014, 25–53 THIRTEENTH GENERAL ELECTIONS (GE13): CHINESE VOTES AND IMPLICATIONS ON MALAYSIAN POLITICS Lee Kam Hing1* and Thock Ker Pong2 1Social and Behavioural Sciences Research Cluster, University of Malaya, 50603 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 2Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, University of Malaya, 50603 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia *Corresponding author: [email protected] In their immediate reaction to the 13th General Elections (GE13) results, United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) leaders blamed lack of Chinese electoral support for the poorer results they obtained. This was despite the efforts of Najib Razak, the Prime Minister, in his campaign to win the Chinese over. That the Chinese largely voted against Barisan Nasional (BN) was evident in seats which were Chinese-majority. Nevertheless the opposition Democratic Action Party (DAP) also did well in mixed constituencies where the Chinese were not the majority. Opposition leaders and many commentators argued that the voting pattern in GE13 reflected not an ethnic but a regional as well as a class divide. Urban votes and a significant proportion of middle-class Malaysians, they insisted, supported Pakatan Rakyat (PR), the opposition, which gained a majority of the popular votes. This paper looks at the voting pattern of the Chinese as reflected in the results, changes in the politics of the Chinese since GE12, and ascertains what issues and concerns influenced the way the Chinese voted. It would also consider the implications the results have on Chinese representation in government and in opposition. Keywords: Barisan Nasional (BN), Democratic Action Party (DAP), Pakatan Rakyat (PR), Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA), United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) INTRODUCTION "A Chinese tsunami" was how the outcome of the keenly-contested Thirteenth General Elections (GE13) came to be described by Najib Razak and other Barisan Nasional (BN) leaders on the evening of 5 May 2013 (Tan, 2013).
