Dear all,

Reading the comments: What is Really Wrong with the Malays? Koon Yew Yin, Calvin comments (Please post comments without vulgarity.) Has prompted me to post this blog.

The Real Malay Dilemma by Ms. Siti Kasim

Below is the letter I posted in Tun Mahathir’s blog on 6/25/2017 on Malay Contradiction.

Dear Tun Dr. Mahathir,

Allow me to wish all our Muslim Brothers and Sisters Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri.  Mohan Maaf  Zahir dan Batin.

Semoga Tun dan isteri sekeluarga Sihat Sejahtera Selalu.

Dear Tun,

Our learned AG said it again: “Bar’s call on Doj action makes no sense”

Why an elephant in a room can be invisible to our learned AG?

Malay of today is in contradiction.

We have well educated, intelligent, knowing their job well, hardworking, sincere, trustworthy with worldwide view and had served Malaysia with honour and distinction. (I take my hat off to ex-Bank Negara Governor Tan Sri Zeti Akhtar Aziz and honourable G25)

We also have well educated but not knowing their job well, yet promoted to position of power/important because of their political string and thus beholder to MO1. (They are prepared to be misused and abused by MO1).

We have religious types with their overzealous to be seeing as revered and true Muslim readily abandon their Malay Culture and Adat Istiadat with Arabisation.

We have elite types thinking they have special right over other and demand special treatments even when they are in foreign country.

We have those felt oppressed or restricted when in Malaysia thus celebrating “Merdeka” over-zealously when they are over-sea.

We have government servant and politicians who have no guilt or shame-feeling in taking bribe as if taking bribe is part of their jobs.

We have working class, working overtime or needed to hold two or three jobs (as suggested by a Minister) in order to provide life necessities for their family. (Malaysians need skill upgrading and higher pay. Unfortunately the Malaysian industry model is still stagnant at this low-cost based industry as not enough effort is made to upgrade our industry to higher value and higher income industry.)

We have traditional types wanting to continue with their traditional way of life.

Lastly we have opportunist politicians and religion extremists indoctrinating and imprisoned the Malay mind in the name of protecting their special right and religion.

What types of Malay emerge from these contradictions will determine whether Malaysia will be a progressive or regressive, liberal or repressive country or worst of all a kleptocracy fail state.

My hope is that the Malay must realize that this country future falls heavily on their shoulders.

Thank you.
