And this is how many Malaysians whose forefathers were from the sub-continent have been made to feel-marginalised, sub-standard, quite irrelevant sometimes. The issues have been articulated well. Malaysia First will have to address this. https://www.facebook.com/1192212915/posts/10226927529152866/?sfnsn=wa

LETTER FROM THE GRAVE

LETTER FROM THE GRAVE LEE KUAN YEW'S OPEN LETTER TO MALAYSIAN LEADERS Dear Malaysian leaders, I want to appreciate your condolence messages to Singaporeans since my death on Sunday, March 22. Having died at the age of 91, I would not say I died young. In fact, life expectancy in Singapore, which I led as prime minister for 31 years, is 80 years for men and 85 for women. You may even say I spent an overtime of 11 years. I would say I lived a good life which I devoted to the progress of my country. I can confidently say that everything I did — including that for which I was heavily criticised for being "highhanded" — was for the benefit of my people, not for personal gain. I died a fulfilled man with no regrets whatsoever. May I briefly tell you the story of Singapore so that you can understand why it is often told with admiration all over the world. We were a small, hopeless Island. We thought we were so poor it was impossible to survive on our own. We decided to go into a...

Population re-engineering

Population Re-Engineering by Johan Bakri Dear friends This is of interest to those watching the development of Malaysia and Singapore I am currently reading two books in parallel: 1] The March to Putrajaya This is about the recent and current happenings in Malaysia. It is the first book I am reading as an e-book (attached) 2] Men in White. This is the history of Singapore for the last 50 years The contrast is most enlightening; not that one has to read the books to know. The books spells out the minutiae that is not intended for the public eyes. Needless to say the former is banned in Malaysia. UMNO and Population Engineering by Hussein Abd Hamid Since 1957 UMNO has effectively carried out the population engineering of our country to ensure its long-term survival by creating the myth of a two pronged "Ketuanan Melayu". "Ketuanan Melayu" for the Malay masses who are lulled into a feeling of being superior over the non-Malays because of t...

Celebrate Merdeka without normalising racism

https://www.malaysiakini.com/news/589194   *COMMENT | Celebrate Merdeka without normalising racism* Benjamin YH Loh Published 30 Aug 2021, 11:13 am A + A - 1 COMMENT  | A recent Merdeka-themed video that was released sparked some controversy; in the home of a small nuclear family, a father complains as he scrolls social media about the stereotypical behaviours of certain races in the presence of his child.  His wife chides him as his behaviour is un-Islamic, but when the child shows a drawing with the same stereotypical depictions in place, the video ends with, "I was not born racist, but I was taught."  This video follows in the footsteps of similarly themed Merdeka videos, popularised by the late filmmaker Yasmin Ahmad that try to address racial disunity in Malaysia. Following some public criticism, the video was removed and the creators apologised, but it is important to keep in mind that such mixed respo...
