*Fellow Malaysians, shouldn't the whole nation need to know and understand what is really happening.

Persatuan patriot kebangaaan

WE ARE AND NEVER WERE A RACIST By Major (R) Mior Rosli (TUDM) I wish the Defence minister, the deputy defence minister read and listen to what I have to say very carefully.. Yesterday, Hishammudin accused Persatuan Patriot Kebangsaan of being Racist.. I demand your apology to us because it is not us who are racist.. it is you. Don't you remember when you was the UMNO youth chief? You unsealth the Keris, waved it in the air and demand for Chinese blood? Isn't that Racist and dangerous? The police should have charged you under ISA, put you behind bars and throw the key. We don't need Racist people like you leading a multi Racial country. Now just because the elections is round the corner you have the cheek to talk about increasing the number of non malays in the Armed Forces. Something that we have heard many many times over many many years. Let me tell you and all your bloody UMNO goons.. THERE IS NO RACIAL CONFLICTS NOR SENTIMENTS AMONG SOLDIERS WITHIN THE MAF. ...

The destruction of education by politicians and racism in Malaysia

[20/01, 8:56 am] Lee Khee Joo: SHAH ALAM: Tokoh pendidikan mendedahkan kualiti lebih 2,500 profesor di negara ini tidak mencapai standard diharapkan. Sehubungan itu, beliau mencadangkan jumlah tenaga profesional dikerah untuk mengajar secara sambilan di universiti-universiti tempatan supaya dapat menyumbang kepakaran dan pengalaman yang diperoleh daripada industri. Pengarah pertama Institut Teknologi Mara (ITM), Tun Dr. Arshad Ayub berkata, dengan kerjasama antara kumpulan profesional dan profesor, diharapkan ada lebih banyak artikel penyelidikan membabitkan idea di luar kotak dihasilkan seterusnya memberi sumbangan besar kepada masyarakat.... My comments : Let me say straight away that Tun Arshad is just running away from the problem. More than 50 years ago Lee Kuan Yew said 'The Malays do not like to tackle difficult issues head on, they keep postponing them'. Tun Arshad says 2,500 professors are sub-par. I suppose he is referring to mostly Malay professors at government ...

Sarawak Report Vast Expenditure OK As Three Halls Not One?! 16 January 2021 Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin has sought to clarify a letter that went viral on social media claiming that an allocation of RM35 million had been approved to build a hall in his Pagoh parliamentary constituency. The letter, dated Jan 11 and addressed to the director-general of the Public Works Department (JKR), was from the Implementation Coordination Unit in the Prime Minister's Department. The letter stated it was the prime minister's wish that the project be implemented as soon as possible and JKR had been directed to start work on the site by March 1.

The marginalizing of Indians

All Indian must read and digest this issue. Who shud take the responsibility for this ? Politicians ? NGO leaders ? or us educated, affluent Indians who allowed all this to happen right under our nose and still pretending that nothing is wrong.

The Malay friend

https://m.malaysiakini.com/news/559024 COMMENT | The main obstacle to a modern, progressive Malaysia is not the rural Malay, but the educated, well-travelled, English-speaking urban Malay, who controls a government department, a GLC, a bank or a business. We're not talking about the ordinary pak cik managing his stall in a warung, but the Malay taiko who owns franchises, or multi-million ringgit companies, or markets luxury foreign brands. These Malays wield power and influence. Some are decision-makers in government. The rural Malay is too busy trying to make ends meet. He has no control over policymaking. When you attend talks about rule of law, democratic values and good governance, the number of Malays present can be counted on one hand. If you had been to the Negara Ku event in Ipoh in 2014, which was launched by lawyer and social activist Haris Ibrahim, Clare Rewcastle-Brown's book launch at Tower Regency Hotel, in 2018, the Ipoh launch of Maju in 2020...

SHAME ON U MAHATHIR !!!

Courtesy of TripleEight Jon - SHAME ON U MAHATHIR !!! Your Vision 2020 is a total failure, exactly like all policies or whatever political you tried to implement. VISION 2020 has succeeded in reducing the income gap between races and turned the country from an agrarian society into an industrial nation but it has, failed to create a Malaysian race, said Dr Mahathir Mohamad. "When I proposed a Malaysian race (Bangsa Malaysia) to call our own, I believed that we could be like countries such as the USA," said the 95-year-old on Facebook Live last night. It is incredulous that this old man, at the ripe age of 95 keeps lying thru his dentures about his acumen when he have none.  His Vision 2020 is a total failure, another one of his long line of failures.  Bangsa Malaysia never came about, it got even worst during his last Premiership.  Mahathir is a pure racist, especially against the chinese whom he disrespect and look down upon.  The true reason for this is simply beca...

The kopitiam

The kopitiam visit is more than a storm in a teacup R Nadeswaran This writer has always maintained that religion is a personal issue. One cannot impose his or her religious values or diktat on others. I also hold the belief that followers of all religions have the same objectives - to be good and to do good. Race, religion and royalty have always been taboo subjects because they could be misinterpreted by selfish parties without understanding the issues or by twisting the contents of an observation. However, an exception has been made to address a recent incident which has stepped on the rights of individuals and threatens the thin fabric which is unsteadily holding us together. In the process, the humble kopitiam has been inadvertently drawn into a controversy which cannot be dismissed as a storm in a teacup - the ramifications and implications could be exploited and could lead to a bigger upheaval. The kopitiam is an institution - the ordinary man's local. Almost all...

Merry Christmas JAKIM . . . What happened to your Christmas spirit ?

When being silly becomes dangerous: an account of the Islamic Development Department of Malaysia (known by its Malay acronym JAKIM) ........ Merry Christmas JAKIM . . .   What happened to your Christmas spirit ? by Mariam Mokhtar 27 December 2020 When JAKIM said that cakes should not be iced with the words "Merry Christmas" , I donned my apron and chef's hat and baked my bûche de Noël to show solidarity with my fellow Malaysians. I suppose, JAKIM will now certify my kitchen as non-halal… dapur haram. Ebenezer Scrooge lives on in Malaysia. Take your pick from JAKIM and the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Zulkifli Mohamad Al-Bakri. Zulkifli said that festival greetings are allowed on a product if its purpose is not for display in halal-certified premises. Meanwhile, JAKIM banned halal-certified bakeries from displaying cakes with "Merry Christmas" on the icing, but the 'politically coward' (PC) "Happy Holidays"...

About the Malay race

Mahathir from Kerala, who became Prime Minister not long after visiting V. S. Naipaul left, and five other Malay who entered medical college in Singapore, did not meet the minimum entry qualifications. The British allowed them to enroll anyway since there were no Malay doctors at that time. Of the six Malay, including Mahathir's wife Siti Hasmah, Mahathir's marks were the worst. These details were disclosed by Singapore Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew to the late Johor sultan. The sultan referred to Mahathir as MenteriKeling and later Perdana MenteriKeling. The sultan was Bugis. In the column for race at Singapore University, Mahathir wrote Indian Muslim. These days he claims that he has only spoonfuls of blood (Indian), "otherwise, I am Malay". Universiti Sains Malaysia, USM, has done DNA studies on this phenomenon. Besides being from the Indian subcontinent and Arab states, the so-called Malay in Malaya are Minang in Negeri Sembilan, Yunnan in Teren...

Differences between Indonesia and Malaysia

"Differences between Indonesia & Malaysia from a retired German lecturer P. Feisenberg who had worked in Penang during Tunku's days and in Jakarta in Suharto's time. An interesting account of his observations & gloomy prediction of the future of a young nation ... A big divide between the two countries yet they live next to each other and both are Muslim countries. Is this because there is a Mahathir ( and an UMNO ) in one whereas there is none in the other ? I always tell my friend that Indonesia is not the best country in the world to work and live but since working in Indonesia for about 5 years, I don't have the feeling that I am living in a Muslim country despite 93% of Indonesians are Muslim. 99.9% of my colleagues are Muslim and we go for lunch and dinner together and sometimes to a Chinese restaurant that served pork and there is no fuss about it. (For your information – the people who sell pork are Muslim – bosses are Chinese an...

Madness in Malaysia

Madness in Malaysia BY ZAID IBRAHIM Another year is coming to an end. Some people make personal vows on matters affecting their lives, others celebrate the coming of the new year as if there's no tomorrow. I have no wish to celebrate or make any life-changing resolution, except to tell you a story about how wonderful Sarawak is. Sinatra croons about New York—the city that never sleeps—while I would say that Sarawak is the place to be in the future when Peninsular Malaysia burns through its own folly. I see a lot of similarity between Syria and the Peninsula. Syria is in the throes of a civil war that has taken the lives of more than 200,000 people. The feuding parties, the Sunnis and the Shiites, just don't know when to stop and seem to hate each other more and more every day. They call in allies and friends, leading to a massive escalation of the conflict that could bring Middle Eastern countries, including Turkey, into full-scale war. Hundreds of thousands of Syrians h...
