Every few days or so, Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, our former Prime Minister, comes out with a new story lamenting the loss of Malay and Muslim power and complaining how it is in fact the non-Malays or non-Muslims who are the ones that are really running the country. There are many variants of this argument that he comes out with, such as that the DAP is running the show in Pakatan; or that PKR and PAS leaders have sold out to the DAP; or that the Christians have an ulterior motive in raising the Allah issue, and are to be blamed for the rise in tension and resentment in the country.
In his latest skirmish with Muslim orthodox groups in his blogsite over his support to Kassim Ahmad who has been critical of the ulama class and its over-reliance on hadiths, Dr Mahathir has seen it fit to claim that the result of the ongoing schism in the Muslim world between those who are called ulama and the non-ulama is that "[therefore Muslims have become weak and they have to beg for support from non-Muslims".
Why must he bring the non-Muslims into this latest controversy if not to stoke more fear and distrust among Muslim of their non-Muslim brothers and sisters. This was no spur of the moment, slip of the tongue or foot in the mouth accident. It was carefully crafted and meant to share with his Malay and Muslim audience in his blogsite as well as for reproduction in the other media to 'enlighten' the Muslims.
It seems so typical of Dr. Mahathir to introduce his brand of racist or religiously bigoted thinking and argument into every controversy in the country, whether or not he is directly involved in it and regardless of whether there is any need or justification. "Pathetic" is the word that some would prefer to use to explain his behavior and conduct. I prefer to use the words "mischievous" and "evil".
Weathiest Malaysians - Why is Datuk Mokhzani So far down the List?
While Dr. Mahathir is conspicuous for what he selects to focus his attack on, he is also unmistakable in what he deliberately chooses to ignore. Take for instance the list of the richest Malaysians of which two separate lists have recently appeared.
The first list is compiled by Malaysian Business and the second list by Forbes. In both lists. Datuk Mokhzani Mahathir, the son of the former prime minister has joined the ranks of the country’s richest men or billionaires.
According to the Malaysian Business magazine, the SapuraKencana Petroleum mogul added another RM1.59 billion to his coffers over the last year to raise his estimated wealth to RM4.22 billion — good enough for ninth place on the list.
Forbes also includes Mokhzani in its list but only at number 15, with a total fortune of US1. 2 billion.
According to Forbes, Mokhzani has broken into the billionaire's club (calculated in US dollars, and not our cheap Malaysian ringgit) because of the 22% rise in his oil shares in his oil and gas stocks.
Dr. Mahathir has so far made no comment on the lists and the people who have made it, including his son. Perhaps our docile and politically correct reporters are too afraid of the repercussions to ask him questions about his son's meteoric rise in the wealthiest Malaysians list.
But not all our reporters are that bad. I think the braver ones among them are probably afraid that if they asked him questions about it, all they may get is another round of diversionary, evasive and scarcastic comments about how Mokhzani would have been able to come out much higher up the list - say at number 3 or 4 - if not for the Chinamen or Indians who have made it dificult for his son to rise higher and more quickly.
That answer would have no leg to stand on. But it should please the anti-non-Malay audience that Dr. Mahathir is so fixated on to salvage his reputation.

Give us chinese a chance to rule like USA give black american a chance to rule

"Tapi tanya sama kaum cina dia lagi melenting, tak mahu anak campur melayu dan india takut jadi malas dan bodoh." Get your facts straight. Chinese don't want to send their children to Sekolah Kebangsaan because 1) poor quality of teachers, 2) the economic value of the Chinese language, 3) excessive Islamization in school. Solve these 3 issues, then only talk about abolishing vernacular schools.
2014-03-01 21:06
And fyi, kebangsaan school is in the poor state they are now because the government is the default repository for unemployable graduates. The civil service is in such a sorry state that Malaysia has one of the highest civil servants per capita in the world. So don't blame the private sector for not employing unemployable graduates who can't string together a proper English sentence.

Soojinhou cakap "Tapi tanya sama kaum cina dia lagi melenting, tak mahu anak campur melayu dan india takut jadi malas dan bodoh." Get your facts straight.

Macam abang cakap semua apa yang kerajaan buat memang tak betul bagi kaum cina. Susahlah kaum yang tak banyak kat Malaysia ni. Untuk makluman Soojinhou, you perasaan tak tak banyak public listed company baru atau billionaire baru dari kaum cina. Cuba check list billionaire Malaysia, semua kaki Tun Mahathir, tiada list baru. Maksudnya generasi baru ini tak akan ada lagi calon billionare baru.
2014-03-01 21:12
Like I already said, peabrain, it is a class issue, not a race issue. There are Chinese and Indian cronies as well as Malay cronies. It has always been a class issue. It is only dumb fools who believe that because there are Chinese billionaires in Malaysia, so therefore the Chinese must be treated very fairly in Malaysia. Get it?
2014-03-01 21:16
duitbesar, you are really blinding yourself. puluhlah hak keistimewaan kamu, if you are so proud of having it. i dare to say most of us, the non-malays, are not really questioning about the special right, cuma kita nak lihat ia digunakan dgn lebih effective channeling ke melayu yg miskin, bukan guna RM1 ukt tujuan itu, lepas tu guna RM100 masuk pocket politician.
2014-03-01 21:33
Mula2 cakap cuma mau kerajaan yang tak korrup, lepas tu kata bumi lot patut dihapuskan, lepas tu lantak kalimah Allah, lepas tu kata mutu pelajaran tak bermutu langsung. Korang memang semua tak betul dengan apa yang ada pun. So bagi abang no point to talk dengan minoriti sudah keterlaluan. Bagus jangan layan langsung. Sekarang pun kerajaan tak ada menteri cina sangat bagus, tak ada gertak
2014-03-01 21:36
no cina ministers so what? as long as the ministers carry out their duties with high integrity and governance, that's the most important thing regardless of race.
2014-03-01 21:41
Katak bawah tempurung don't understand that it's not Chinese that says these, it is actually the international community that says. Civil servants per capita is benchmarked internationally, so is competency of students, so is human rights standards, so is the use of Allah. Uncle must be living in Stone Age. Like I say, the threat is external from competition as a result if open economy, not internal from Chinese.
2014-03-01 21:52
Some ppl are just plain BODOH......the world open ady....no more car protection.....air space is open competition.......TPPA also coming.....and the nuts ppl are saying ppl want to take their right??? Puzzling
2014-03-01 21:54
Hahahaha. Human right standard,ya. Cuba nasib kat Amerika. Itu Presiden ibu orang putih baru jadi presiden. Cuba cari billionaire cina di Amerika, tak ada langsung. Dalam politik? Tak ada langsung. Korang tau ka, buat jalan keretapi 100 tahun dulu semua orang China, lepas siap, mereka tak mahu hantar terus, tak mahu bagi kerakyatan. Orang putih lagi racis, kecuali Kanada dan Australia. Melayu tak suka migrant, dia suka Malaysia, mahu dominan politik hanya Malaysia. Korang cari Vietnam ke, Myammar ke. Oh, abang lupa, Vietnam pun makin ramai cina, sedang diconquer pun.
2014-03-01 21:58
Macam saufi cakap, dia paham betul budaya cina dan tak akan beri undi DAP. Sebenarnya melayu tak bodoh, tau sangat muslihat DAP tau sangat muslihat nak dominan politik, apa alasan korang bagi gula2 tak manis, pahit.
2014-03-01 22:00
If cannot compete cakap lah cannot compete......easy je.....jangan lah cakap tak Mahu migrate.....world level Ada Chinese .....

Uncle Koon nothing to lose. Dia dah kayaraya tapi tak dapat datukship sebab suka lawan. Semua anak dia migrate Kanada, korang? Masih di Malaysia, jumlah semakin sikit. Abang relaks saja. senyum saja.

Peabrain still don't understand that unlike all other developed countries, racism is institutionalized in Malaysia. The other country that did it, South Africa, has longed abandoned it. While racism is practiced everywhere, it is never written into law in all developed countries. The difference is huge. It means that in developed countries, it is possible to initiate legal action if there is sufficient evidence to prove discrimination based on race. While we are talking about human rights, the first article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which Malaysia is a signatory of, says "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights." Equal in rights. Go figure Mr Hidup Melayu. That's international standards, not Chinese standards, and yes they hina you also.
2014-03-01 22:13
soojinhou, i think people like duitbesar doesn't have the intelligence to understand what you had said. no matter how we want to explain, he will still spin it thru racial lens. Pointless.
2014-03-01 22:22
WAH! already 344 commentaries. I think we should stop arguing on this subject. Eventually no one can win an argument.
WE must use our common sense to judge what is the best for all Malaysians and Malaysia- how can we catch up with our neighbours to become a developed nation.
I have just posted another piece "B N Government's Eduction Disaster". I am sure you all have a lot to comment. Happy reading, Koon Yew Yin
2014-03-01 22:37
wat's the point of arguing all this? if chinese is being marginalize here, we all can go sg and do the same to them wat? hahahaha.
2014-03-01 23:18
Hahahaha. Uncle Koon ni tak habis-habis kutuk BN. Ada saja orang tua ni buat pembohongan. Untuk makluman korang, arkitek DAP bukan lain kalau Uncle Koon, yes, dia memang orang kuat LKS. Apa-apa isu yang boleh buat orang cina benci MCA atau BN memang dia kaki goreng dari dulu. Kalau korang nak tau kenapa orang cina benci MCA, dipersilakan Uncle Koon, siapa yang mula kata MCA explotasi orang cina dan tipu orang cina, Uncle Koon. Dia ni buat banyak damage in race relation in Malaysia. Patut kerajaan buat sesuatu sebelum kaum cina terpinggir jauh dalam Malaysia. Bila MCA tidak berfungsi, maka bisniss tak licin dengan Umno, maka no money for chineses. Umno memang tak semua ni, persoalannya korang tau ke?

tak payah kutuk tak payah complain "actions are better than words". Malaysia is going down every year simple poor quality of teachers very true compared to previous generation teachers which had passion now all the teachers care is money " 1 of my teacher told me that if u want to learn more and better teaching come for his tuition and pay him" can u tell me corrupted teachers like this who earn pay check from the government( makan gaji) not even bothered about the students performance and when parents come to school to ask the teacher just give some comments and off u go, teachers now days are getting more and more useless forcing students to find alternative of taking tuition's might as well we dont have to go to school and just take tuition and go for exams saving the government cash flow on teachers and only open smaller schools for the needy children and saving large amount of cost that could help the public for better for better usage. Besides the vernacular teachers only mainly use a singular language perfectly shows no openess for the school to the outside world and thats the shame for his school shut down and transfer vernacular teachers to government base schools. I have even heard the standard of vernacular school are droping gradually equating to government school students. The fundamental error of this country education system. In our country to much focus on grades and small amount of sports activity compared to passion. If u go to some foreign companies to work and even getting into masters where by your grades are low they are given the opportunity to work and continue their masters because of the passion they have and not on exam based results. People in malasyia thinks 10A+ are the best but awkwardly they are not, they are good in studies, sometimes in work but they lack of creativity. The world resolve in creativity and not good grades, 1 of the fundamental problem in our countries people thinking. We need passionate people to teach and not greedy people, we need passionate people to love this country and not just go around fighting with one another and looking down at each other because of something they dont know about, learn things that u dont know if u said something wrong ask forgiveness and learn to forgive others instead of building hatred( I dont think each and everyone religion taught anyone to hate they taught to love why cant u do the same thing and yet u pray everyday and its a shame to yourself) , we need passionate people to change and evolve this country and not people who are sulking and complaining over and over again about the same thing. WHY CANT EVERYONE BE TOLERANT TO EACH OTHER? DO WE HAVE TO FIGHT? DONT U THINK WE LEARN ENOUGH FROM WORLD WAR 1 AND WORLD WAR 2 sadly not taught in schools? WHY CANT WE NEGOTITATE? WHY DO WE BEHAVE WORST THAN ANIMALS? WHY WHY WHY? Do something about it and stop writing bullshit upon this post. again i will state that """ACTION IS BETTER THAN YOUR WORDS""" DO something now and not regret about it later. Thank you.

Please migrate to other countries if you feel that this country is not a good place to stay.....Many Chinese, Indians etc who are not happy with Malaysia have migrated......Even Malays also migrated to Australia, UK, US etc.......

2014-03-02 12:02
History wont lies....Compare Malaysia with Singapore....Singapore is poorer than Malaysia last time, but where Singapore is standing now...Meanwhile,u can find Singapore is made up majority of Chinese...If Lee Kuan Yew got chance to be PM of Malaysia last time and execute the same principle, then now Malaysia I think can on par with UK, US.....

2014-03-02 12:11
Hmmm... The last I checked, those who are dissatisfied with the system are the majority. BN is now a minority government. I think those who should migrate are the minority UMNO goons like Duitbesar. But then again, they are probably too incompetent and too racist to be accepted anywhere in the world, except maybe Zimbabwe.
2014-03-02 12:19
Why should we migrate.We should kick out BN.ABU is the way and the only way to change course.We are the son of malaysia.We are born here,we will die here.This is tanahair ku.
We want change.We want change.We want change.

Everyone here debating about the differences that we have so that we can be more unite learn each other way perspective towards nation building together. Make a good positive debate. Anyway right now god clearly shows the problem that all human must unite taking care of is healing the earth environment. See how the mother nature effecting us the super flood, drought, sudden cold and many more. Everyone busy talking about differences race, religion, politics and other differences but don't see the bigger picture effecting us now that is the environment. Everyone see this is a small matter once it hit us very very hard surely all human unite to solve this big problem. We all the same human have heart, brain, face and more. The thing that changes human behaviour knowledge to become of what they are now is how human grow up, learn, influence and

WOH! 363 commentaries within 2 days of the posting of my article!! I am happy that my article has generated a lot of discussion. It may seem the whole picture is milky, but eventually people will see the truth.
If you like me to write another piece on how to make money from the stock market, I like you to say so now.
2014-03-02 14:55
Yes. Too much of Malaysian current affairs makes Jack an angry boy and Jill an angry girl. Especially since no solution is in sight. Let's take a breather and look at the stock market, which is neutral ground.
2014-03-02 15:27
Yes Uncle Koon, we are the defenceless people. Every now and then, we will have the present day government officers telling those who are not satisfy/happy to emigrate, even school children are not spared!
These morons think this country belongs only to them because they have forgotten their roots (coz their forefathers/mothers are also immigrants from Indonesia, India, Pakistan, etc.) and the country's actual (not twisted) history.
For those successful people like yourself, I'm sure you had put in a lot of efforts and struggles (blood, sweat & tears) before you reached your current status. For those who made their billions because of their status and connections, they don't care how the poor and struggling people feels. They don't need to work but just show off their identity to make money. There was a Tan Sri's son who had never work a single day in his 20+years of life, is able to afford to buy a 7million bungalow for his girl friend and suddenly a son of a Tun is listed on the Forbes billionaire club!
We had to suffer daily humiliation and the only way to ensure we have a better life here is to make more money.
So Uncle Koon, please continue to write more articles to advise us!
Thank you.
