Malaysia’s dangerous racial and religious trajectory

Identity politics has turned inflammatory as Malaysia’s
former ruling party tries to claw back support.

When Malaysia’s Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition ruled the country, it faced an opposition that campaigned on a platform of anti-corruption, free and fair elections, and greater democracy.

BN, led by the United Malays National Organisation (Umno), the largest and most dominant party, ruled the country for 61 years until its shock defeat last year by the Pakatan Harapan coalition, with Mahathir Mohamad at the helm.

Now, for the first time in its history, Umno finds itself out of power and playing the role of the opposition. And in this “new Malaysia”, where once the opposition campaigned for reforms and clean governance on a pluralist platform, it has now been replaced by a previously moderate Umno turned ultra-Malay to court the Malay majority.

To further burnish its ethno-Malay credentials, Umno has teamed up with its one-time arch enemy, the Islamist Pan Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS), to contest elections under the banner of Malay rights and Islam.

This month, thousands thronged Umno’s headquarters at the Putra World Trade Center in one of the largest crowds seen in recent years, to witness the signing of a charter to seal the Umno-PAS collaboration.

The change in the characteristic of Malaysia’s opposition from a plural platform to an ethno-religious one has transformed the country’s political landscape. Identity politics has become pronounced and inflammatory.

It has manifested itself in the calls for the boycott of non-Malay products, even halal products produced by non-Malays. It has also seen the proliferation of fake news involving race that has stirred anger and anxiety among segments of the Malay community suffering economic hardship.

Among this is false claims of mainland Chinese being indiscriminately granted citizenship in Malay-majority Malaysia, a story which went viral, causing Malays to feel they are losing out and that the country is about to be taken over by the Chinese.

Another incendiary hoax that circulated recently was a picture of a Chinese-looking man burning the Malaysian flag, angering many Malays who called Malaysian-Chinese people unpatriotic, with some netizens demanding that “Chinese pigs” should leave the country.

A reverse image search revealed the photo was actually from a 2013 incident in Manila where a former Filipino police officer burned the Malaysian flag to protest against the then–Philippines President Benigno Aquino’s handling of the Sabah issue.

The veracity of the photo and its inflammatory implications were largely ignored even by the country’s political elite, with Umno’s secretary-general Annuar Musa tweeting out the photo from his official Twitter handle.

Malaysia’s identity politics has triggered a competition among political parties, non-government organisations, and political elites to be the biggest champion of Malay rights and special privileges, which are enshrined in the constitution and accepted and respected by all Malaysians.

It has triggered a race to be a defender of Islam, which is also enshrined in the constitution “as the religion of the Federation”, but other religions are allowed to be practiced in “peace and harmony”.

Malaysians of all races have long respected and accepted the sanctity of Islam, but the rising surge of identity politics has seen the opposition and opposition-linked NGOs accuse the Pakatan Harapan coalition of being anti-Islam in a bid to discredit the government. In government-owned mosques in several states, pro-opposition preachers have been telling their congregation that the government discriminates against Islam, wants to eliminate Islam, and is “liberal,” which is an anathema to conservative Muslims.

Politicians from the Chinese-based Democratic Action Party (DAP), a member of the ruling coalition, have been a particular target of such attacks, where the party is constantly accused of being anti-Islam and seeking to take over the country.

Hence controversial Indian Muslim preacher Zakir Naik, wanted in India on money-laundering charges, has become a cause célèbre for political elites, never mind the fact that he accused the country’s Hindus of being more loyal to India’s Narendra Modi than Malaysia’s Mahathir.

Naik also called Malaysian’s ethnic Chinese “old guests” who should leave the country before he does. Naik was granted permanent residency in Malaysia by the previous government.

In an illustration of the febrile political climate, Malaysia’s youngest minister, Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman, who initially backed calls for the preacher to be deported, said “an attack against our Chinese and Indian brothers and sisters is an attack against all Malaysians,” but later changed his tune after suffering a huge backlash from Malay-Muslims. Days after his remarks, Syed Saddiq called on Malaysians to forgive Naik and to “move on".

This focus on identity politics steals attention from where it should really be directed. It is crucial for the Pakatan Harapan government to fix the economy, a mammoth task given the huge debts it inherited, but it is possible if all members of the coalition parties sit down and work together with discipline and focus.

If the economy blooms, hatred and suspicion will dissipate.

Yet given the state of provocation, the disregard of political elites for the potential of racial riots, with some expressing “it will never happen” or others simply shrugging their shoulders, as if to say “who cares”, is mind-boggling.

In the event of the worst, everyone will suffer, as fire does not distinguish race or religion. There will be no winners, only the ashes of the power-hungry.

There won't be any end to racism in Malaysia if there are still politicians who continue to harp on 3Rs (Race, Religion and Royalty) to secure political advantage. Besides these politicians, political party with only one race will continue to the main cause for existence of racism in our country.

Over the years, racism in Malaysia is already an acceptable norm. It is a not new normal. The minority "pendatang" must submit to the majority sons of the soil even though some came from elsewhere not too distance away. The minority cannot hold any important government posts. The majority cannot vote in the minority in any general election. And it is haram according to a bigotry political leader.

Police brutality also exists in Malaysia and nobody can deny that. There have been countless cases of death in custody, and the disappearances and potential murders of Pastor Koh, Pastor Helmi, Ruth and Amri also serve to affirm that. We have our own George Floyds in Malaysia. It is the failure of the government of the day to implement much needed check and balances in our police force, as the current "leaders" are self-serving and motivated by greed rather than serving the nation for the good of the rakyat.

Don't ever forget the reluctance of PRDM to solve the murder of the IGP Abdul Rahman who was shot dead in broad day light at about 8.30 am on 7-6-1974 at Lorong Weld, (now known as Lorong Raja Chulan) Kuala Lumpur. They the PRDM and the AG's chambers charged 2 people and when the case was fixed for hearing, the DPP promptly withdrew the charges. Thereafter it became a cold case file. THE POLIS and the new IGP never bothered to continue with the investigation. If they coud do this (reluctance to investigate further) to their very own TOP polis officer, do you think that they would bother about Pastor Koh and the others who dissappeared in the hands of the very infamous Special Branch ? It is 46 years since this brutal murder of a dedicated and loyal TOP Polis Officer took place and whom the then Prime Minister stated that the IGP was gunned down by "ANTINATIONAL ELEMENTS". It is pertinent to note that the then PM DID NOT SAY that the assailents were communists, gangsters etc although the PRDM were at pains to pin this murder also on the assailants of the Chief Police Officer of Perak. Although they were due to hang they asked for this murder to be tried...the rest is sandiwara. If the present bunch of SB officers were around then,with that Pichay fellow leading them, they would probably blame it on the LTTE !!!! The murder of the Mongolian lady has still not been solved ! Who gave the command to kill her ???

In Malaysia blatant racial discrimination is constructed I numerous legislation, embedded in official policy guidelines and practiced daily in all departmental administration, taken all these cumulatively racisms of its kind has become entrenched in Malaysia expressed overtly in attitude and covertly in judiciary and other public law enforcement agencies. It is so commonly practiced the victims have got accustomed to it while cursing the dominant Malays silently in their hearts and mind, a curse that will reverberate as retribution of Karma eventually.

It is a sensitive subject. Most of us are extremely careful about not causing offence by making insensitive remarks about people of another race or religion. But how often we have heard people speak in another language that we do not understand to some members of a group of which we are part of. How often have heard remarks made of persons of another race which stereotype them as lazy,parasitical, quarrelsome, sneaky, treacherous, greedy, cold and calculating, money minded etc ? And employers should be asked about their preferences of race when it comes to employment. It is a well known fact that Malay employers will prefer Malay employees and Chinese employers will prefer Chinese employees and Indian employers will prefer Indian employees. The problem is that there are relatively few Indian employers. And the big Indian employers like Ananthakrishnan and Tony Fernandez would be mad to employ only Indians. Their companies show a remarkable mix of Malaysians. Exactly what all Malaysian employees should do. As the writer points out the proportion of Indians in Malaysian prisons is far higher than their proportion of the population. And again more Indians die in custody than any other race. Indian poverty is inter-generational partly because of their exclusion from so many educational and employment opportunities in the country. The Government extends to Malays so many schemes and programs for their upliftment but offers very little to non Malays. It is time to change things.

For starters, I am a non Malay but I belong to the rare lain lain bangsa.

The reason I state this is because everything said or written is always viewed through a race tinted lense.

A lot of non Malays here hurl all kind of insults and expect the bumi population to support them.

I know the counter argument will be about the malay extremist remarks. But let me ask everyone. Does two wrongs make a right?

Just because a dog bites a man, that doesn't mean a man must bite a dog?!

All those spewing racist and bigoted remarks be it towards the non Malays or towards the Malays need to do so serious soul searching.

I have met bigoted and racist people from all races. Indian friends who condemn the Chinese, Chinese who insult all and sundry and Muslims too who think the rest are godless fornicators.

We need to change our own attitudes first before expecting our politicians or other people to do so.

However this much I will say. Racism exist everywhere. I've experienced it in Australia as well as in the UK. The sad reality for OUR COUNTRY is it is INSTITUTIONALIZED!

That, my friends is heart breaking.
