Outright Racist remarks sicken me

September 10th, 2008 Submitted by: Adrian

The recent events in the country led by a certain Umno Individual really pisses me off. Normally I, like most other Malaysians, would not comment on sensitive issues like this but surely someone must put a stop to this individual’s sickening attitude.

Basically it all started when it was reported that he boldly stated that other races apart from Malays are “PENDATANGS” (Immigrants). This basically means, “we are the rightful owners of the country”, so you have NO RIGHTS to say anything. It is also reported that he claims that he owes no apology to the masses but instead demands an apology from the newspapers who apparantly wrongly quoted him. Surely if he really wants to ensure peace is retained without any misunderstandings, he would try to play it down by saying he does not support the thought of us (Chinese & Others) being Pendatangs instead he does otherwise claming to stand his ground. He need not even make any apology as far as I am concerned. He just need to say that he believes we are all EQUALS. Obviously he doesn’t think so. And though it is known that he is not alone in his thoughts, he definately has the balls to voice it out….. Brains might be lacking somewhere though.

How can someone at the day and age make claims like that? Was it all done to create havoc? Perhaps its all a ploy to try to divert Anwar’s attempt to gain power. Whatever it is, I hope the government will charge such individuals seriously to make sure they don’t think they’re some god of some sort. He obviously have no respect for fellow Malaysians, No respect for other leaders, No respect for other parties, and No respect for unity. I hope proper justice (which I hope there still is in Malaysia) would be done!

This is a matter of National Security. I definitely don’t want to be caught in any racial clashes just because of what this individual has said. He’s actually threatening my sense of security! Based on that I feel I definitely have a right to comment & react!

EDIT - LATEST UPDATE: As of a short while ago, I am glad to learn that the individual in question has been suspended from party politics for a period of 3 years. I am glad justice has been done in a way to remove him of his abusive powers. And as how our PM puts it, I hope other parties take the same appropriate measures to rectify and control their memberes or individuals if they are found to “misbehave”. Nobody should be above the law. I am glad & happy to know that the supreme council has made the right decision in rectifying the matter.
