PM calls out Dong Zong for being racist

LANGKAWI: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad described Chinese educationist group Dong Zong as “racist”, saying it frequently protests the government’s education policies – including introducing khat in schools.

The Prime Minister said the organisation had previously opposed setting up Sekolah Wawasan where three types of primary schools – national schools, Chinese vernacular primary schools and Tamil vernacular primary schools – would come under one roof.

Dr Mahathir said Dong Zong’s objection was because they did not want their children to mix with the Malays, reported Sinar Harian.

He said this in response to Dong Zong’s allegations that the introduction of jawi calligraphy in schools was a form of Islamisation.

The Langkawi MP also questioned the reason Dong Zong was only protesting the plans to introduce khat now.

“This matter was approved in 2012 by the previous government. Why did Dong Zong not complain at the time? Why is it a ‘new’ complaint now?

“Now that we have made the decision, if they do not want to take up (the subject), they will not have to do so, ” he said at a function at Masjid Padang Mat Sirat here yesterday.

Dr Mahathir also sarcastically said he would ask for Klang MP Charles Santiago’s permission for future decisions.

“In the future, when I want to make a decision I will ask Charles first, whether or not I can do it.

“If I can get his view, he is the same level (setaraf) as me, ” he said.

Santiago had said in an earlier statement that too much power had been concentrated in the hands of Dr Mahathir and that he had been making unilateral decisions with disturbing frequency.

You guys need to be realistic on what DAP can do and cannot do.

I don't think DAP are power crazy.

It is just that the old man has return to his old slithering self.

What he says today are completely different from before GE14.

Like it or not the future of our country are in the hands of the Malays.

Do you guys really want DAP to play hard ball with the old man?

The old man will have no problem rallying pasumno to form a new government.

Will the situation be better then if that happens?

Be careful with what you wish for guys.

All we can hope for now is the old man keeps his promise to hand over power asap.

former minister Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz, activist lawyer Siti Kasim, columnist Azly Rahman and many other Malay intellectuals had also opposed the inclusion of Jawi calligraphy in the Bahasa Melayu subject for Year Four pupils.

even TUN M's buddy Daim Zainuddin sent a clear message.

We failed because education ministry didn’t get priorities right, says Daim

hey guys, i think best way to handle the situation is to stay silent...

what needed to be expressed had been done by Dong Zong, Charles Santiago, Ramkarpal etc...

further expression of inner voices wont help...but only invite aggravation of the situation

stay silent

Jikalau pisang dibiar berbuah dua kali
Detik sejarah hitam akan berulang lagi
Kepimpinan melalui teladan
Harmoni secara perbincangan
Jangan bagai ketam menyuruh anak berjalan betul
Tak guna ramai pegawai macam pahat dan penukul
Banyak lagi kerja perlu buat bersatu hati untuk maju
Fokus sahaja kepada apa yang penting dan yang perlu
Ketepikan sahaja yang kontroversial dan remeh
Kaji balik hanya selepas perpaduan diperoleh
Berpadu semua untung dan kita teguh
Berpecah jiran untung dan kita roboh



Firstly ....the next shoe minister must start by sorting :

Each and every of primary and secondary schools are dilapidated.......

.....morbidly termite infested........unsafe.......as though ceiling gonna fall on the pupils any time
