WHITHER MALAYSIA Chedet.Co.Cc August 08, 2008 by Dr. Mahathir Mohamad WHITHER MALAYSIA Chedet.co.cc August 08, 2008 by Dr. Mahathir Mohamad 1. I am very touched by the response to my article "The Country We Love" (July 27, 2008). We may have our differences, we may be of different races but it seems that we all love this country. 2. I have been abroad hundreds of times but I never fail to look forward to returning home. And as I step off the plane I would feel that sense of belonging that almost move me to tears. I am quite sure that every Malaysian feels this way upon returning to this, our very own homeland. 3. As Malaysia we are not an old country for we came into being only slightly more than 50 years ago. But it had been a very eventful half a century. 4. No one gave us much of a chance when in 1957 we lowered the Union Jack and flew the Jalur Gemilang. We were of many races, cultures and religions, divided again by our economic functions, by extreme disparities in material wealth. 5. But our wise founding fathers, our Tunku Abdul Rahman, our Tan Cheng Lock and our Tun Sambanthan worked out a unique form of racial cooperation that staved off any violent confrontation between the races. 6. That cooperation, embodied in the coalition of racial parties and the Alliance/National Front Governments enabled the country to remain peaceful, bar one or two hiccups for 50 years. 7. Those were glorious years. The country grew and prospered. It became the model of the development of a developing country, a model of racial cooperation. It became known throughout the world where once no one could evenpronounce its name. It was the envy of other developing countries. 8. Malaysians abroad felt proud because the moment they identified themselves as Malaysians, immediately people talked of F1 in Sepang and the twin towers. 9. There seemed to be nothing to stop us from achieving our goal of becoming a developed country by 2020. 10. Now all these dreams seem to have faded away. We are involved in political wrangling of all kinds, our leaders seem to be uncertain about what to do, our foreign policy is in disarray etc etc. 11. We have lost our direction. And we get no guidance. 12. We can withdraw into ourselves and merely wish our problems would go away or would solve themselves. 13. But that is wishful thinking. They will not solve themselves, they will not go away. If at all they will become worse, become much more difficult to resolve, as our people become more deeply divided. 14. The organisations created by our founding leaders which we were once confident could handle every problem have now deteriorated. Everything is about what is in it for me. Even the ordinary members of once respected political parties want something for themselves. Jobs, posts, titles, contracts and filthy lucre are the only things which matter. 15. Sacrifice? What sacrifice? 16. Who cares to sacrifice whatever. For most of the people we put our trust in to steer this beloved country to greater heights, the only sacrifice is to give up the Mercedes Benz for Proton Perdana, and that too very reluctantly. 17. I wasn't the best of leaders when I was in the hot seat. 18. But I did try my best. If my best is not good enough I am sorry. 19. But Dato Onn Jaafar, Tunku Abdul Rahman, Tun Abdul Razak, Tun Hussein Onn, Tun Tan Siew Sin, Tun V.T. Sambanthan cannot be faulted in terms of the sacrifices they made, their contributions to building racial harmony, peace and stability for their country. 20. Could it be that we forgot to teach this generation of leaders about the sacrifices made by our founding fathers. 21. Could it be that we cannot handle wealth as we did poverty? 22. Could it be that our leaders lack honour and the sense to accept responsibility and to retire gracefully? 23. Some simply cannot accept the realities, the role they had played in the destruction of a near perfect system which had done so much for our country. 24. Yes we should "Cry the Beloved Country" as Alan Payton said of his South Africa of the Apartheid past. 25. But crying would take us nowhere. 26. It is time the silent majority stop being silent. 27. It is time to speak up and be counted. 28. If we love our country we must not allow crooks and charlatans to rape and steal it from us. 29. It is ours, this country of many races and religions. 30. We must stand together, we the concerned Malaysians, and defend our heritage. 649 Comments By moyabira on August 8, 2008 11:13 AM assalamualaikum Tun, Semoga Tun & sekeluarga dlm keadaan sihat walafiat.

Thanks By anakmiri on August 8, 2008 11:24 AM I am with you Keep on writing By moyabira on August 8, 2008 11:25 AM Assalamualaikum Dr Tun, 1.Rasanya orang zaman sekarang di Malaysia ini terutamanya orang yang tidak pernah mengalami keperitan hidup seperti zaman 40an, 50an, 60an. Tidak dapat menghayati apa itu pengorbanan untuk bangsa, negara tetapi untuk menjaga perut nasi sendiri mereka aje. 2. Ini menyebabkan lahirlah orang-orang yang bersifatkan materialistik atau diri sendiri. By KunPhisaid on August 8, 2008 11:28 AM Viva Tun Berdua, I love Malaysia. I love being Malay. I am proud of my heritage. I am an overseas trained Chemical Engineer. After fulfilling my goverment obligation, I can go to anywhere in this world to get a better money like some of my egonistic highly educated Chineese born in Malaysia. But NOOO, I stay in Malaysia. I love this country. May be becouse I am a Malay? Dirgahayu Tun. By remadel on August 8, 2008 11:30 AM Apa kahabar Tun?...Harap Tun sihat bersama keluarga tercinta... Seperti hilang arah pemimpin kita sekarang, semuanya takut bersuara mungkin takut dengan AB, kalau dulu Tun dikatakan diktator tetapi terang-terangan ditentang oleh orang-orang sendiri, tapi sekarang AB dikatakan orangnya "Mr Clean", lemah-lembut tapi kenapa pemimpin semua takut kepada AB... Tun apa rakyat perlu buat? By twocents02 on August 8, 2008 11:30 AM Yeah Tun! Way to go. Dr M the STATESMAN has spoken. May Malaysia shine on for the rest of the third world countries to emulate... Great piece again, Tun. The SEMANGAT is undeniably very PRESENT and STRONG. By mushroom_soupAuthor Profile Page on August 8, 2008 11:32 AM By Moon on August 8, 2008 12:15 AM I'm chinese (non-bumi) from Tawau, Sabah. My family is poor. Father left us when i was young leaving my mother have to take care of me and other 5 siblings. She had to pajak ikan sikit sini dan sana just so she can try to sell just so she can untung a bit everyday. Being the eldest, when i finish form 5, she cannot afford me to go for further studies. I try to apply to go ITM (Institut Teknologi Mara), thanks to the NEP, the institute is for Bumis only. Those Bumis who can't study and well-off manage to gain entry. I try to apply nursing, but instead was rejected because i was chinese, instead those bumis who pass form 3 only, manage to gain entry. For that lady who wrote to say that it's sad to watch a malay sweeping the floor of a chinese bungalow. Lebih sedih, mak saya terpaksa pergi dari rumah ke rumah orang menanya jika ada kain mau di cuci. You think Malay saja yang kena victimize? Well, think again. Orang cina pun kena victimize bah ------------------------------------------------------------------ This is some of the flaws in NEP... sad to hear this... NEP bertujuan untuk menyeimbangkan taraf ekonomi antara kaum... Memang elok bantu Melayu,asalkan jangan lupa bantu kaum lain... Im grateful for NEP as now im working in industrial industry as engineer after graduating from U... During the early years of NEP, ia banyak membantu kaum bumiputra yg susah seperti saya Tetapi selepas sekian lama; lebih 20 tahun, orang Melayu jadi bangsa yang mengharap...mungkin tak semua,tapi majoriti! Sentiasa mengharap bantuan kerajaan, pinjaman, jawatan kerajaan... Saya yakin, pada waktu ini tanpa keistimewaan yg diberikan, Bangsa kita boleh jatuh..

  • A Cross-Cultural Study Between Chinese and Malay Undergraduates in a Private University
    Exploring Preferential Food Selection: A Cross-Cultural Study between Chinese and Malay Undergraduates in a Private University. Adila Alias Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2019 Abstract Previous studies and cross-sectional surveys conducted in Malaysia have shown that the prevalence of obesity, diabetes and other non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are associated with poor diet practices. Overeating is contributing to the increasing prevalence of obesity and other NCDs among Malaysians. This study aims to investigate how environmental influences might impact food preferences between Malay and Chinese. Past research shows that ethnicity is related to differences in food-related beliefs, preferences and overall eating behaviour. To investigate how environmental factors might influence food preferences, a series of experiments were conducted using psychological paradigms. First, food consumption patterns using a Food Frequency Questionnaire (Chapter 2) between the two groups were compared. It was found that Malay participants consumed more spicy and savoury foods, and larger portions of both artificially and naturally sweet foods, such as fruits. Overall findings of the FFQ showed that Malay participants consume a higher level of energy intake compared to the Chinese participants, which is reflective of existing literature in Malaysia. Additionally, Malay participants showed a preference for wheat-based foods other than rice- which is staple food in traditional Malay cuisine. In contrast, Chinese participants showed a higher preference for traditional Chinese cuisine for everyday meals such as noodles and porridge. Preferential food selection was examined using a 2AFC method (Chapter 3). Malay participants selected spicy foods more than Chinese participants, and both groups made more preferential selections of savoury foods than they did for spicy foods.

  • Ethnic Identity and Cultural Heritage Tourism: an Ethnographic Study of the Indian Muslim Community in Penang
    Asian Journal of Tourism Research Vol. 1, Special Issue, September 2016, pp. 39-69 https: doi.org 10.12982 AJTR.2016.00010 Ethnic Identity and Cultural Heritage Tourism: An Ethnographic Study of the Indian Muslim Community in Penang Nor Hafizah Selamat* Universiti Sains Malaysia Ezwani Azmi** University of Technology Mara Abstract: In the wake of Georgetown’s inscription as a World Heritage Site in 2008, this study examines the Indian Muslim community’s construction and presentation of its culture and ethnic identity, under the aegis of the Indian Muslim Community Organization (iMcom) and the Indian Muslim Cultural Heritage Celebrations (IMCHC), in conjunction with the broader Georgetown Festival and Penang Heritage Day. The study gives the historical context of Indian Muslims in Malaysia before exploring the role of Kapitan Keling Mosque as the functional locus for the Indian Muslim community’s festival activities, and how this has shaped the material culture and practices therein offered up for the ‘tourist gaze’. The findings show that the selected cultural heritage of ethnic Indian Muslims, especially cuisine, is both a popular and lucrative tourist attraction, and something the community as a whole values and wishes to preserve. The IMCHC was observed to be a success both in terms of tourism development and, as far as was observed, its aims under iMcom to unite the community into concerted efforts to preserve and value their ethnic and cultural heritage. The study concludes with a brief discussion of iMcom as an agent in the construction and presentation of Indian Muslim culture for both tourist and internal consumption, and some recommended directions for further study.

Lexis 3 : « Borrowing / L’emprunt » 11 Lexical Borrowing in Malaysian English: Influences of Malay1 Tan Siew Imm2 Abstract During its evolution in the region that is today Malaysia, English has come into contact with a range of diverse, typologically-distinct languages. All these languages have influenced the lexicon of Malaysia English (ME), but it is Malay that has contributed to some of the most remarkable characteristics of this variety of English (see, for example, Lowenberg [1986 and 2000]; and Morais [2001]). This paper explores how the English-Malay contact has resulted in the incorporation of Malay features into the lexicon of ME. Using a corpus-based approach, the study analysed a comprehensive range of borrowed features extracted from the author’s Malaysian English Cewspaper Corpus (MEN Corpus) for the linguistic processes behind the borrowing phenomenon. Haugen’s [1950] groundbreaking work on lexical borrowing provides the theoretical framework of this study. It is proposed that the underlying systematicity of the processes involved is reflected in the linguistic outcomes, and that there is much potential for corpus-based lexicography where ME is concerned.

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.
