Ini adalah hakikat sistem politik di Malaysia.

CARTOON REVIEW: Santa Clause Is Coming Soon !

CARTOON REVIEW: INFINITY OF NEW EKONOMY POLICY

This cartoon was published in Public News on 27/07/1987 depicted New Economy Policy was started in 1970 with the objective to restructure the society and norrow the poverty gap between racial which was proposed just after the tregedy 513. Unfortunately, it was extended its period again and again, its initial 15 years period was extended to another 20 years, it seems like there is no ending period . Until and unless the report on the 513 incident was disclosed, poverty gap between racial may not be necessary  the cause of the incident. This could be due to the rivalry party that was defeated in the general election, out of jealousy and worry,  triggered the havoc.Up to date, because of the New Economy Policy, certain quarters who has political power became richer and richer to the extend the gap of poverty within the racial increased.

Kartun ini dipaparkan di Berita Awam pada 27/07/1987 menonjolkan Polisi Ekonomi Baru dimulakan pada 1970 dengan objektifnya untuk menyusun semula masyarakat dan mengurankan jurang perbezaan kemiskinan di antara kaum di mana ia dicadangkan sejurus selepas trajedi 513. Malangnya, ia dilanjutkan jangkamasanya lagi dan lagi,jangkamasa 15 tahun pada mulanya dilanjutkan ke 20 tahun untuk kali yang lain, seumpama tiada tempoh tamatnya. Sehingga dan kecuali lapuran peristiwa 513 dibongkar, jurang perbezaan kemiskinan antara kaum barangkali bukan punca peristiwa. Ini mungkin kerana pihak lawannya yang ditewas di dalam pilihanraya umum, atas sebab cemburu dan bimbang, mencetuskan kekacauan.  Sehingga hari ini, oleh kerana Polisi Ekonomi Baru inilah, segelintir yang mempunyai kuasa politik bertambah kaya dan lagi kaya sehingga jurang perbezaan kemiskinan di dalam kaum bertambah.

CARTOON REVIEW: THE NEAR DEFEAT OF DR M

This cartoon was published in Berita Awam on 06/05/87 depicted Dr M was nearly defeated in the straight fight with Ku Li, he won with sliding majority votes on UMNO election. Subsequently, when UMNO was declared as illegal party, Dr M and a group of UMNO members who favour him formed  UMNO BARU. Through its application screening through process, members who favour Ku Li was discarded from entering the party, eventually forced a group of UMNO members who favour Ku Li form a group called Semangat 46. Unfortunately, Semangat 46 was nearly capsized in the General Election thereafter, PAS became the real winner in the state of east coast. Due to lack of support from Malay community, out of disappointment, Semangat 46 was dismissed not long after. UMNO BARU, especially Dr M, became so strong to the extend he could amend Federal Constitution at wish to made it favourable to BN in view of the strong majority seats in the parliment. The election policies, either in the party or for national were changed.During his tenure, at that time, communication channel dan public mechanism tools can be monopolised so easily by the government, those news which are unfavourable to them were censored.  Appoinment of the judges fell on the hand of executive ( the PM in particular), some of the power of the royal was detrived in particularly in land matters caused the constitutional crisis; therefore,  the real separation of  power was at stake. There was at one time, internal fight was so intensive in UMNO BARU, Dr M announced " Operation Lalang" merely to srenghtened his position in the party and divert the attention to thier internal problem and against opposition party. UMNO youth leader at that time, Najib, the advocator "1 Malaysia" then when he is the PM of Malaysia, used extreme sensitive words against Chinese community to create havoc, however, no action was taken against him. Dato Lee who was MCA youth ran to Australia. Apart from opposition leaders, many innocent organisations leaders like Tong Jiao Zhong were arrested under ISA without giving chance to defence themself. Thereafter, Dr M was the longest service PM in Malaysia for decades whom are qualified to be named in Malaysia Book of  Record. His influence still can be felt even after his retirement from the way the media so emphasis on his opinions, the way he commented on the administrative style of Pak Lah while he still in his tenure, the appointment of Dr M's son as the minister eventhough he was defeated in the UMNO youth election and became laughing stuff of the opposition when the winner Khairy, once conflict with Dr M, has no ministerial post at all.......As Dr M once said : "People tend to forget....".

Kartun ini dipaparkan di Berita Awam pada 06/08/1987 menonjolkan Dr M hampir tewas dalam pertandingan langsung dengan Ku Li, dia menang dengan majoriti undi yang tipis dalam pilihan UMNO. Lantaran itu, apabila UMNO diikrar sebagai haram, Dr M dengan sekumpulan ahli UMNO yang berkecenderung di sebelahnya menubuh UMNO BARU, melalui proses penapisan permohonan, ahli-ahli yang berkecenderungan di sebelah Ku Li disekat daripada menyertai parti ini, akhirnya memaksa sekumpulan ahli-ahli yang berkecenderungan di sebelah Ku Li menubuh oarti baru disebut sebagai Semangat 46. Malangnya, Semangat 46 nyaris terlingkup dalam Pilihanraya Umum yang berikutnya, PAS merupakan pemenang yang benar di Pantai Timur. Disebabkan tidak mendapat sokongan daripada masyarakat Melayu, atas putus asa, Semangat 46 telah bersurai tidak lama kemudian.UMNO BARU, terutama Dr M, menjadi begitu kuat sehingga beliau boleh mengubah Perlembagaan Persekutuan yang lebih bermunafaat kepada BN secara sukahati  memandangkan kerusi Parlimen yang majoriti. Polisi-polisi pilihan, baik di dalam parti atau negara, telah diubah.Semasa pemerintahan beliau, pada masa itu, saluran komunikasi dan alat-alat mekanisma awam boleh dimonopoli dengan begitu mudah oleh kerajaan. Akhbar-akhbar yang tidak membawa munafaat kepada mereka disunting. Perlantikan hakim jatuh di tangan eksekutif ( terutama Dr M), sesetengah kuasa raja ditarik terutama dalam hal tanah menyebabkan krisis perlembagaan, maka, pengasingan kuasa yang benar dalam keadaan berbahaya. Pada satu ketika, perbalahan dalaman begitu sengit dalam UMNO, Dr M mengumumkan "Operasi Lalang" sekadar untuk mengukuhkan kedudukannya dan mengalih pandangan masalah dalamannya untuk menentang pembangkang. UMNO MUDA pada masa itu, Najib, pencadang "1 Malaysia" semasa beliau menjadi PM, menggunakan perkataan yang terlampau sensitif terhadap komunikasi Cina supaya berlakunya kekecohan, walau macam mana pun, tiada tindakan diambil terhadapnya. Dato Lee selaku pemuda MCA pada masa itu lari ke Australia. Selain daripada pembangkang, ramai daripada pemimpin organisasi yang tidak berdosa seperti Tong Jiao Zhong ditangkap di bawah ISA tanpa diberi peluang untuk membela. Selepas ini, Dr M menjadi PM yang panjang berkhimat berdekad-dekad lamanya sehingga beliau berlayak dinamakan di dalam Buku Rekod Malaysia.Pengaruhnya masih terasa walaupun beliau telah bersara dari cara media masih memandang berat tentang pendapatnya, cara beliau memberi komen gaya pentadbiran Pak Lah semasa beliau masih dalam tempoh jawatannya, perlantikan anaknya sebagai menteri walaupun tewas dalam pilihan UMNO youth dan menjadi bahan kelakar pembangkang bila Khairy, pernah bercanggah dengan Dr M, sebagai pemenang, tidak dilantik apa-apa jawatan tahap menteri.langsung... Seperti apa yang diperkatakan oleh Dr M :"Rakyat senang lupa....".

CARTOON REVIEW: THE END OF THE POLITICAL LIFE OF TAN KOON SUAN

Tan Koon Suan appeared in the one of the six prominent people 2010 seminar organised by speaker association recently, he urged the government to help Chinese as well who has contributed a lot to the country . This cartoon was publshed in Public News on 10/08/1986 depicted Tan Koon Suan was jailed because of the Pan Letric case, until he has nothing left. Apart from Lee San Choon, Tan is one of the MCA chairman I really admired whom has sacrified for the sake of the benefits of the Chinese community. He was one of the tycoons and advocated the idea of coorporation to gather the wealth of the Chinese to do business in big way, until the idea of the coorporation collapsed, it left mystery unexplained and to my personal opinion it was merely conspiration of certain quarters who worry and jealous the wealth of the Chinese community grown up so rapidly having to say that other minor reasons could be also the contributory factor. Given chance, I will elaborate what are the logics behind in the next cartoon review.Strange enough, whoever real leader in MCA who are willing to sacrify for the sake of the benifit of the Chinese community has short political life, provided he has gained the blessing from the leading party in BN. As a result, we can witness many of the puppets around in the party who are bow to the finger pointing of the leading party in BN.

Tan Koon Suan muncul di seminar salah satu daripada enam orang yang terunggul 2010 yang dianjurkan oleh persatuan penceramah baru-baru ini, beliau menyeru supaya kerajaan menghulurkan bantuan juga kepada Cina yang banyak menyumbang kepada negara ini. Kartun ini dipaparkan di Berita Awam pada 10/08/1986 yang menonjolkan Tan Koon Suan dipenjarakan kerana kes Pan Letrik, sehingga beliau tidak meninggal apa-apa. Selain daripada Lee San Choon, Tan Koon Suan merupakan satu-satunya pengerusi MCA yang saya sanjung, di mana beliau berkorban demi munafaat komuniti Cina. Beliau adalah salah seorang yang kaya raya pada masa itu dan orang yang memulakan idea koperasi supaya mengumpul kekayaan Cina agar menjalankan perniagaan secara besar-besaran, sehingga terlingkupnya idea ini, ia tinggal hanya misteri yang tidak terjawap, pada pendapat peribadi saya ia sekadar satu konspirasi oleh sesetengah pihak yang khuathir dan cemburu akan kekayaan Cina diperkembangkan begitu pesat walaupun ada alasan-alasan lain yang kecil yang menjadi faktor penyumbang. Diberikan peluang, saya akan menerangkannya secara panjang lebar dalam tinjauan kartun pada masa yang akan datang tentang lojik-lojiknya di sebalik pendapat saya . Anih sekali, barangsiapa betul-betul pemimpin yang ingin berkorban untuk komuniti Cina mempunyai riwayat politik yang pendek, kecuali beliau mendapat restu daripada parti yang menerajui BN. Akibatnya, kita dapat menyaksikan banyak boneka di dalam parti yang tunduk kepada jari telunjuk parti yang menerajui parti.

CARTOON REVIEW: BURDEN FOR TUN DR LIM

This cartoon was published in Public news on 17/09/86 depicted late Tun Dr Lim borne the responsibility of leading in Penang as the president of Gerakan Party and ensure that Prime Ministry post was consolidated in the the hand of Chinese whom was the main population until he cann't afford to retire eventhough his age was catching up in worrying prime minister post will change hand to his composition party in BN who was long eyeing for this post. After Tun Dr Lim was passed away, when we recall, besides to remember his contribution, true enough his prediction, UMNO Penang just before his demise dan under care of Koh, quite frequent certain quaters claimed that this post shall be sitting by UMNO.

 Kartun ini dipaparkan di Berita Awam pada 17/09/86 ynag menonjolkan mendian Tun Dr Lim memikul tanggungjawapnya menerajui pimpinan di Penang sebagai presiden Parti Gerakan dan memastikan jawatan  Ketua Menteri dikekalkan di tangan kaum Cina yang menjadi populasi utama sehingga  tidak sanggup beliau berundur walaupun usianya telah meningkat kerana dikhuatirinya jawatan Ketua Menteri ditukartangan ke parti komposisiya di dalam BN yang telah lama menyanggak jawatan ini. Dengan pemergian beliau, di samping kita terkenang jasa mendian Tun Dr Lim, apabila mengimbas kembali, betul benar ramalan beliau, UMNO Penang sebelum pemergian beliau dan di bawah jagaan Koh, telah kerap menyuara agar jawatan ini disandar oleh UMNO .

CARTOON REVIEW : Delima of talented non Bumi

This cartoon was published on Publc News in 29/07/89 which is depicted non Bumi talented was hand tighted because to fulfill the Bumi quota, 20 over years till now, true enough this stuation has never been improved which could be one of the major contributory factors why many of the foreign investors pulled out from investing in Malaysia, even some of the non Bumi investors were forced to invest in neighboring country which can provide more liberal business environment and more tax incentives in view of the world without boarder may invite more stive competition.Quota system most likely would only be benefitial to small amount of the Bumi who are in political power directly and indirectly whom they would be invited to be sitting in the board of company without much effort. These kind of politicus fully understood you requests just before the general election and became lost of memory after the general election and wonder : "What are you still want? Not enough?""

Kartun ini dipaparkan di Berita Awam pada 29/07/89 di mana ia menonjolkan bukan Bumi yang berbakat tangannya diikat sekadar untuk memenuhi Bumi kuota, 20 tahun telah berlalu, cukup benar keadan ini tidak berubah di mana ia mungkin salah satu faktor penyumbang utama mengapa ramai pelabur asing tarik diri daripada melabur di Malaysia, malah sesetengah pelabur bukan Bumi terpaksa melabur di negara jiran yang boleh memberi suasana berniaga yang lebih liberal dan galakan cukai  yang lebih memandangkan dunia tanpa batas yang boleh mengundang persaingan yang sengit. Sistem kuota lebih bermanafaat kepada segelintir Bumi yang mempunyai kuasa politik secara langsung atau tidak langsung di mana mereka dijemput menduduki di lembaga syarikat tanpa usaha yang banyak. Politikus seumpama ini memahami kehendak anda dengan sepenuhnya sebelum pilihanraya umum dan hilang peringatan setelah pilihanraya umum dan bertanya dengan hairannya : "Apa yang kau orang masih nak? Tak cukupkah?"

CARTOON REVIEW MAR 1988 : UMNO TEAM A AND TEAM B

This cartoon was published on Public News in March 1988 depicted after Umno was declared as illegal political party, previuos political head formed New Umno and he implemented a process to screen through the applicants who wanted to join the New Umno, those belong to Team B was discarded from entering New Umno, eventually forced Team B to form new party called Semangat 46. This cartoon reminds me that not long ago our previuos political head made an comment that party which was formed under multiracial banner should be dismissed because this will split the Malays, what's a nonsence when his act worse than this

Kartun ini dipaparkan .di Berita Harian pada March 1988 menonjolkan selepas Umno diisytiharkan sebagai parti yang haram, bekas orang besar menubuh Umno Baru dan beliau melaksanakan satu proses supaya menyaring pemohon-pemohon yang ingin menyertai Umno Baru, bagi mereka yang memihak kepada Kumpulan B dipisahkan daripada memasuki Umno Baru, memaksa Kumpulalan B menubuh parti baru yang disebut sebagai Semangat 46. Kartun memperingatkan saya tidak lama sebelum ini bekas orang besar membuat kenyataan di mana parti yang ditubuh di bawah panji pelbagai kaum sepatutnya digubalkan kerana ia memechbelahkan Melayu, apakah karutnya kenyataan ini sedangkan beliau melakukannya lebih teruk daripada ini.

CARTOON REVIEW JUL 1986 : EC RULING

'

This cartoon was published on" Public News"  (losely translated from Berita Awam) in July 1986 depicted hidden hand behind the Election Commission (EC) who was instructed to revise and amend the 1981 Election Ruling to make it more favourable to them in the coming election. Recent episod whereby overseas voters who claimed thier right of voting in the near future election whom they have been denied thier right which is granted under Federal Constitution, on the other hand, only certain catagories of overseas voters are allowed to exercise thier voting right overseas via thier respective diplomatic office; this kind of discrimanatory act towards certain group of  Malaysian could also be due to such favouratism as mentoined above which could be detrimental to the real democracy process? God knows.

Kartun ini telah dipaparkan di " Berita Awam pada Julai 1986 menonjolkan tangan yang tersembunyi di belakang Suruhanjaya Pilihanraya di mana ia diarahkan untuk meninjau dan mengubal Peraturan Pilihanraya 1981 agar ia lebih bercenderung memberi kebaikan kepada mereka pada pilihanraya yang akan datang. Episod baru-baru ini di mana pengundi di seberang laut menuntut hak mereka untuk mengundi pada pilihanraya pada masa yang terdekat di mana mereka dinafikan haknya  yang dijamin di bawah Perlembagaan Persekutuan, di sebaliknya, hanya sesetengah katagori pengundi seberang laut dibenarkan menjalankan hak mengundi melalui  pejabat diplomatik masing-masing, tindakan diskriminasi yang sebegini terhadap sesetengah kumpulan tertentu mungkin juga berpunca daripada pilih kasih sedemikian seperti yang tersebut di atas yang boleh membahayakan proses demokrasi yang sebenarnya? Tuhan mengetahuinya.

Whose land is this?

I n the midst of making History as the compulsury subject to pass in order to get the SPM (O level in Malaysia) certificate; first of all, the content must be no bias, correct in reflection of real history. Don't use it as the political tool to brainwash the student. History subject nowaday is too empasize on the Islamic history which is hardly be memorised by non Muslim student.Few issues need to be decoded such as tragedy 513 as a lesson learned by all Malaysian to the extend how it was happen and only confined to Chow Kit and Kg Baru area. Recently, receiced the email ( as per attached copy) to testify its reality pertaining  the arguement on whose land and non Malay students was chased by the school headmaster to go back to mian land China.

Dalam ghairah kita menjadikan Sejarah sebagai matapelajaran wajib untuk mendapat sijil SPM (peringkat O  di Malaysia); mula sekali, isi kandungannya tidak memilih kasih, detul dalam membayangkan sejarah yang sebenar. Jangan gunanya sebagai alat mencuci minda pelajar. Sejarah hari ini terlalu mementingkan sejarah Islam di mana ia sukar dihafal  oleh pelajar bukan Muslim. Beberapa isu  perlu dibongkar seperti trajedi 513 sebagai pengajaran semua Malaysian pada tahap bagaimana ia berlaku dan hanya berlaku di kawasan Chow Kit dan Kg Baru. Baru-baru ini, terima  email (seperti lampiran ) untuk memastikan kesahihannya berkenaan dengan perbahasan tanah siapa dan pelajar-pelajar bukan Melayu dihalau balik ke tanah besar China

TANAH MELAYU FORMERLY NAMED BARR CHIN
By Michael Chick

Michael Chick goes back to old Arabic maps to find that Tanah Melayu was actually called Barr Chin or Tanah China . So who is the Pendatang?

Even our famous Professor of History does not know this as he only refers to English texts. A shame, isn't it?



The Great Tanah Melayu Debate


We hear UMNO's cries for “ Brain Gain ”, caused by excruciating “ Brain Drain ”, in the wake of hundreds of thousands of Malaysians who are fleeing their country. We've heard the many alleged reasons provided from both sides of the fence. One of the strongest seems to be the fact that UMNO is asking all “pendatangs” to leave the country if they are not happy.

By Michael Chick

Well, Robert Kwok certainly did just that . And along with him, his entire businesses worth billions in “ Tax Drain ”. BTN has also been copiously assisting, by enthusiastically brainwashing simple minds into thinking that “ Tanah Melayu ” is reserved for Orang Melayu.  Of course, they quickly tell you that anyone can become an Orang Melayu by speaking, dressing, and behaving like one (what! ever that means, who knows?).

Well, UMNO managed to achieve one thing. The BTN-type morons, and their predecessors, have been overwhelmingly successful in brainwashing todays' 27 million citizens. Who says that the Peninsular was ALWAYS called “ Tanah Melayu ”? This is a recent British Term!! Let me dedicate this Article to the foremost “ so-called reknown Historian ” of the country. Prof Dr Emeritus Khoo Khay Khim (and anyone else who claims to be as competent in History as well).

Prior to “ Tanah Melayu ” being a British Tag in the 19th century, the peninsular was formerly known as Malacca in the 15th century. The newly-renamed book “Sejarah Melayu” (previously known as “Asal-Usul Raja-Raja”) mentions every other place from India to China , including the tiny-speck-of-dirt called Temasik EXCEPT “Tanah Melayu” . Why was Tanah Melayu NEVER MENTIONED  in Sejarah Melayu? Simple!! Because that was not it's name!! !

Tanah Melayu was NEVER the name until the British came and colonized the Peninsular.

(please see map below)

Since UMNO has a habit of believing that “ whatever is older is better ”, let's take a short walk down this slippery slope of history. (Also, BTN-Baru syllabus planners should start taking notes.)

For starters, “ Malaya  ” in Tagalog means “Peaceful” (go ask your Pinoy maid).

“ Malai ” means “Hill” in Tamil; as in “mini-Himalaya” to describe the Titiwangsa Range on the said Peninsular since the 2nd century by the Gujerati Traders who helped the local Malays set up their formidable Hindu Empire at Lembah Bujang.
ref: Prof Nik Hassan, Tom Harrison, and H.G Quatrich Wales

Also read he re: http://www.astigan.com/2009/03/06/ppag-unearths-evidence-of-iron-industry-in-lembah-bujang/  

Only in the 19th Century was The Peninsular known as “Tanah Melayu”.

In the 15th Century, the Peninsular was known by no other name than “The Malacca Peninsular” .

Before “ that Rebel-Indonesian Guy ” came over here (look, he wanted to kill his own father; what else do you want me to call Parameswara?), the Peninsular was known as “ Barr Kra ” in the 10th Century. Before that, the Peninsular was known as the “ Golden Chersonese ” since the 2nd Century.

“Golden Chersonese is the ancient name to refer to the Malay Peninsula by Claudius Ptolemy or Claudius Ptolemaeus (Greek: ; c. 90 – c.. 168). Known in ! English as Ptolemy, he was a Greek-speaking geographer, astronomer, and astrologer. During Roman times, the Malay Peninsula developed an international reputation as a source of gold; hence the name was given.”

By the way, “Barr” simply means “Land” in the Persian Language. And Barr Kra above, means “ Land of Kra ” (as in reference to the Isthmus of Kra  ).

But I've saved the best for last, as usual. And I hope all you soon-to-be “ Brain Gain ” people are sitting down reading this ....

The earliest   known Arabic   Maps refer to   the Peninsular as “Barr CHIN ”.  

Where Chin refers to CHINA ! Why did the Arabs call this Peninsular “ Tanah China ” instead of “ Tanah Melayu ”? When Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. spoke about “Exotic Tanah China ”, was he actually refering to Malaya ? After all, according to records, Malayan Gold Mines was already famous 500 years BEFORE the Prophet was born!! As his wife, Khadijah was a Great Trader. He must have known!

Footnote: Chin is spelt “Xin” by the Portuguese, but always pronounced as Chin.

Alright, it's now public!! The oldest known Arab Maps called the Peninsular “Barr Chin”; which translates to “Tanah China ”, or “ Land of Chinese ”.  BTN can now implement this  new found knowledge into their syllabus. You cannot deny that you don't know it now! Perhaps if you spoke Hokkien, dressed like a Hokkien, and practised Hokkien Customs, the Hokkiens might be gracious enough to acc! ept you. Sounds absurd? Absolutely; and so does the other “Great Race-Changing Trick” practised by UMNO. And I quote Prof Dr Anthony Milner (ANU), “ If it's so easy to join a race, it must be equally easy to 'un-join' that race ... ”

Alright, Prof Khoo, your turn now ...

This will be the first exercise in “ Brain Gain ” which UMNO is allegedly proposing, for the greater good of 1Malaysia ; plus, I'll even give you a hint: (because I'm nice and assume that you actually really, really, really, don't know ....)

It's a Dark Green Hardcover Book about an inch thick; usually reserved for Academicians like yourself. So you won't find it in Popular, MPH, Wiki, Amazon or any Pasar Malam. I'm sure that Great Historians like yourself, have your own Jstor Account  number.

Unfortunately, it's written ! in English , so UMNO people   cannot possibly   understand it; because, as they say it   so eloquently, “ ...that English sounds like strange babbling   .... ”
So be nice, Prof, and please translate it for them. And in my best Manglish, “Can translate or not? Please?”

Me? I'll take a nice stroll over to the Royal Netherlands Institute of Southeast Asian and Caribbean Studies  here in Leiden, to read more on this .... I'd better put on a Jacket too, it's a li! ttle nippy today.

“Doei!!” Pronounced, 'do-we' in Dutch.  

Very True... One Malaysia... Bullshit...

GOOD IF YOU GUYS CAN FORWARD THIS TO AS MANY FRIENDS AS POSSIBLE
Discrimination of Non-Malays in Malaysia   Plain racists as PAS said . . .  
The Malaysian government should publish statistics showing how much Malays had benefited from the 'special rights' of Malays and at the same time release the statistics which show how minority races are being discriminated against.

Hence, the responsibility lies in the Malaysia government itself to publish unadulterated statistics of racial discrimination.

If the Malaysia government hides the statistics above, then there must be some evil doings, immoral doings, shameful doings and sinful doings, like the Nazis, going on with the non-Malays of Malaysia .

Civilized nations, unlike the evil Nazis, must publish statistics to show its treatment of its minority races. This is what Malaysia must publish.

We are asking for the publication of the statistics showing how 'implementation of special rights of Malays' had inflicted colossal racial discrimination onto non-Malays.
