I confess to being an ex-MT junkie, probably Groupie I, but a very naive one at that.

Are they totally false and unsubstantiated? I am more interested in 'the beef' - not so much the 'toppings.' Could you imagine what would happen to us, our country in the future? We need good governance and leaders with good morality, as opposed to the 'private- vs public-morality' types. Aint sure if true 'maturity' in democracy means either Party A or Party B could rule, there is a choice.”<BR/><BR/>Let me surmise what a LOT of like-minded people like us have as their mode of thinking, in the briefest of words:-<BR/><BR/>1. We don’t like RPK/PKR/DAP/MalaysiaToday/MalaysiaKini etc. If they are going to attack the muslims, belittle Islam or threaten the malays by whatever means, then we are going to retaliate in ways that will make them wish their mothers had never given birth to them.<BR/><BR/>2. Well we don’t like the ruling government either. Or, more succinctly, large aspects of it, the primeval one being CORRUPTION and DESPICABLE BEHAVIOUR of SOME politicians making up the government. At the same time, we are NOT going to let the country go down the drains just because an alternative ruling body is not available and thus handing the rein to the more spiteful pembangkang (who, of course, have their own agendas).<BR/><BR/>3. Commensurate with (2) above, we are NOT the ungrateful ones (unlike some segments of society) who never at all recognize the efforts and policies of the government in dealing with poverty, education, fairness, economies etc etc, to THE BEST OF THEIR ABILITIES.<BR/><BR/>4. We HATE racism, even if it comes from of our own people, the malays. Denying the rights of the non-bumis as guaranteed by the constitution, calling them with derogatory names or saying how one would like to bathe some curved blades with other people’s blood, are not something we are condoning, irrespective of how rhetorical or symbolic that statement can be. However, this should not be misconstrued by others that we are letting YOU to pijak our kepala instead. If sensible people react in the same way as insensible people do, then how can we be WITH you? Remember: an ultra-bigoted chinese will beget an ultra-bigoted malay and vice versa. For the malays, your best recourse is to go back to the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad who had never condoned anything ultra in any of his teachings.<BR/><BR/>5. We are NOT going to let this country be headed by contesting politicians who are morally bankrupt. Or to be more specific: morally, sexually tainted. And that goes BOTH for those who think sodomization is ok and we just want his “economic expertise” and “social fairness” (read: yang nak hapuskan hak melayu) AND those who have affinities for multi-lingual foreign Central-Asian lasses who are “susceptible for anal intercourse” but now resting in peace in the bosom of the Lord.<BR/><BR/>6. While government contracts and businesses should be done always in lieu of the NEP in mind, we HATE that all transparencies disappear. We HATE multi-million ringgit kickbacks, multi-billion purchases with dubious contracts etc. We HATE that the result of the NEP should be to enrich one or two friends of the government and making untold number of malays still in the red as far as the social economics is concerned.<BR/><BR/>7. Between a chauffeur-driven, bimmered Ujang and an Ah Chong or Velloo on motorbike with his wife and two children at the back going to the pasar malam to setup their livelihood for the week, we HATE that the government should still continue awarding contracts to this Ujang while having a blind-eye policy to the plight of Ah Chong or Velloo and not giving their sons scholarships or bantuan. If this is NEP, then NEP is a bad word. (I am not sure whether such a thing or policy exists but that was based on a real scenery I witnessed when I was stopping at the red light in front of Eastin Hotel one day: on my left was this true-to-life Ah Chong with THREE small children clinging to him on his dilapidated honda cup, and on the right was this sardonically grinning MatSom-whose-father-was-a-hospital-dresser-but-now-he-is-a-CFO-,-lunches-at-the-Legend-and-rebukes-kids-from-the-anak-yatim-society-asking-for-donations. I nearly puked on the floor of my car.) Malay muslims would be better off learning how caliph Omar Khattab, Omar Abdul Aziz and the other righteous caliphs handled non-muslims and preserving their rights and taken over their welfares to be responsibilties of the state. <BR/><BR/>Lets look again at what benj wrote: “…the revelations ... absent in the MSM. Are they totally false and unsubstantiated?”<BR/><BR/>Well that’s the whole point, you see. Here’s the statement of the problem, in Reader’s Digest version: <BR/><BR/>BN is good. Opposition is bad. <BR/>BN (or members) does unhloy act “A”. <BR/>Opposition Media (OM) highlights A. <BR/>The MSM hides A. <BR/>OM raises a call on eradicating anything corruptive like A <BR/>BN says this is all Tuduh-tuduh and Fitnah-fitnah.<BR/>OM gives proofs of A. In form of Statutory Declarations, Photocopies of Dubious Letters, Voice recordings, Video Tapes, Leaked reports, Private conversations etc.<BR/>MSM hides them while BN invokes OSA on OM.<BR/><BR/>Now what we, the people simply want to know is this: Are those allegations true? If they are, aren’t we really having extremely BAD people heading the country here? And if they aren’t, ho ho wah lau! We have an extremely air-tight reason for clamping and dismantling opposition voices once and for all under the pretext of creating fitnah to disrupt the peace of society and making the masses at logger-heads with leaders to create instability now, don’t we?<BR/><BR/>I implore that you, Kijang Mas, to be very Objective, Precise, Factual and Neutral in your postings. So far, your postings are one of the very few who have not shown any …. err... love towards things obnoxious in your bid to defend the malay psyche. Many a blog post have been set up to counter-act some of the very ultra-anti-malay voices in the blogosphere but in so doing, most have been slowly swept by emotionalities: it is as though in order to refute the ultra-bigots of the other side, we ourselves have to be ultra bigots of this side. By that I mean, justifying all the wrong doings of some parties in the ruling government. I mean can you imagine how pathetic that can be? Menteri UMNO kalah 7 juta gambling kat Casino nak defend jugak ker? Ketua Menteri UMNO pegi taji budak pompuan bawah umur pun nak defend jugak ker? BN minister “saya lah orang itu” caught in camera doing some gymnastics without clothes with girl in hotel room nak defend gak ker? In short, does being UMNO, BN, give a free rein to be obnoxious in behaviour because you KNOW that there are people who will defend you? Let us not be like the Malays of the time Sultan Mahmud Mangkat di Julang. Even when they knew their raja was in the wrong, they still continued menyembah, and in so doing gives an assurance to the king (read: leaders) to continue doing wrong.<BR/><BR/>And thuswith do we find the conundrum of the century: The obnoxious behaviour of those we hate to love in the ruling goverment are exposed by RPK, LKS, TK, AI, KS, and others whom we love to hate. <BR/><BR/> <BR/>If some people face an uphill battle in defending the malay’s insight to his viewpoints, it could probably not only because they have been mentioned in the same breath as the corrupt leadership, but they continue to defend them. Let us build a true circle of voices fighting bigotry but at the same time hating injustices as well.<BR/><BR/>Apocryphalist (Like macam bagusss…)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-194647368902980524.post-63289409343192548492008-10-18T08:42:00.000-07:002008-10-18T08:42:00.000-07:00Dear Kijang Mas:Very nice of you for the expeditou...Dear Kijang Mas:<BR/><BR/>Very nice of you for the expeditous response, to share with readers more about yourself, your not-so-easy and the blood-sweat-tears days in going West - in the pursuits of enlightenment and excellence - unlike some, if not, many of those fully-sponsored govt 'scholars' who did not make full use of their grey matter. Am not boasting but just to take some pride, as you did, that I'd gotten almost all As (cd have been CGPA 4 Flat if not of the Jewish Prof.) when I had that opportunity in California. May be, my MU lecturers then were too stingy with marks...Could still recalled that the MU Geography Dept was dubbed as 'The Slaughter House' - simply cos many graduated without 'Honours.' <BR/><BR/>You're an exception, for sure - inheriting the God-given genes/DNA of a Queen Scholar!. Theoretically, whatever you touch, you can make 'gold'. You could be the first Malaysian-born astronaut at NASA, had you chosen a different path! Am sure you are now doing your share, as a responsible corporate citizen, in your own ways, to the betterment of, not only the Kelatenese folks but Malaysia as a whole. <BR/><BR/>Touching on this dicey (Kelate) issue, I recalled an instance, during my undergrad days, of one housemate who had no qualms of deserting fellow (non-Kelatenese) housemates merely to join fellow 'countrymen' (statemates rather) - even though he had to commute longer distances to the campus...I presume you dont belong to that cattle of fish. In his defense - he said he would be dubbed as 'unKelatenese' and 'aghah' if he didn't. Hope this mindset/stereotypes are extinct. I am not less-Pahang either - no doubt about it. Thanks for your sincere advise, anyway.<BR/><BR/>On scholarships - those who had shown merits truly deserve it, as you did. So was your Dad, LKY, Tun Razak, Tan Sri Tajuddin (ex-TNB Chairman, a 1st Class brain) and so forth. No qualms whatever... Again, with deep humility, I was fortunate to be one of the two chosen by the govt. to take up a particular course. However, room shd also be given to the above-average but not-so-financially sound parents so their sons/daughters can break and get out from the poverty-cycle.<BR/><BR/>Back to RPK - what interest the readers (I dont read them all) are the revelations ... absent in the MSM. Are they totally false and unsubstantiated? I am more interested in 'the beef' - not so much the 'toppings.' Could you imagine what would happen to us, our country in the future? We need good governance and leaders with good morality, as opposed to the 'private- vs public-morality' types. Aint sure if true 'maturity' in democracy means either Party A or Party B could rule, there is a choice. <BR/><BR/>Of course, I too derived great joy in scanning those beautiful literary pieces, esp penned by Bumis, like your goodself...I take pride in that too.<BR/><BR/>My God, wish I have more time to write...benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18274586240144315382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-194647368902980524.post-90298153407161878522008-10-18T03:51:00.000-07:002008-10-18T03:51:00.000-07:00benj, Thanks for dropping by.Let me extinguish som...benj, <BR/><BR/>Thanks for dropping by.<BR/><BR/>Let me extinguish some of the fallacies troubling analysts of KijangMas (Demi Negara is the name of the Blog).<BR/><BR/>- Excellent linguistic/writing skills due to prolonged exposure overseas.<BR/>No. I've always spoke and write well, even in my Sekolah Rendah. If your theory works, every single Malaysian “exposed” overseas would be eloguent linguists and literary connoisseurs. Are they? Most just get by with rudimentary talking/writing skills even after years of <I>kena celup</I> overseas. <BR/>I’m fortunate to have a father who was very well-educated (Queen's Scholar, sent to London in the late 1950s) and who encouraged me to read at a very young age and who developed a sense of inquisitiveness in his children. Yes, with mum’s support as well. So parenting is key. Not geographical location. I’ve seen very smart people in Rantau Panjang and many stupid people in Mont Kiara and Bandar Utama. Even in the U.S., there are millions of functional illiterates and millions of ignorant people, from the dysfunctional blacks in the ghettos to the <I>White Trash</I> country bumpkins. So lets not generalise here. <BR/><BR/>- 'Went West' as a beneficiary of the NEP(or DEB), a by-product of the May 13...or on FAMA scholarship?<BR/>Why I sense a perversion to any of these possibilities? Is scholarship a bad thing? Heck even Lee Kuan Yew went to Cambridge on scholarship. Nobody’s complaining. Don’t be influenced by the Rabid Anti-Malay Racists who have spun the NEP into a dirty three-letter word. I will post my thoughts on the NEP soon. So no need to elaborate here. <BR/>Oh, actually I “went West” on a one-way ticket at the age of 18. My late dad gave me some “start-up” money, a plane ticket, and arranged for an F-1 Student Visa for me to enter the U.S. That’s it. With a cheap suitcase and some clothes, off I went. This was part of my dad’s toughening up regime instilled in all 8 of us. He gave us two options: Go overseas and survive and thrive OR come back and survive and thrive. That’s it. I was not a product of a govt. MRSM or SM Sains or any of those. I went to a normal Sekolah Menengah in PJ where, between gang fights and sports, I managed to ace the system. As Dr. M said, choose your parents (genes) wisely. <BR/>In California, I saw the demotivated MARA and JPA “scholars” fooling around while I had to work my butt off to find the money, to <I>makan</I>, to buy books, to exist. But I don’t complain. We are ALL part of the system. You win some; you lose some. I don’t think like a non-Malay Malaysian who’s life is crippled by a hatred of the system, living a wretched life of vengeance. <BR/>Anyway, I was later given a scholarship by invitation of the Malaysian Embassy in DC after I trounced every student in the university (and this is not your typical Boondocks U.) with 4.0 GPAs for 3 semesters and 3 of my professors actually wrote to the M'sian Students Dept in DC recommending a scholarship lest I will be "acquired" by the American defense dept or something.<BR/>Sure they gave me money to pay fees up until my MBA at a Top 10 US Biz School (where I was the first Malaysian, not Malay, but first Malaysian to be accepted). So what? I've paid back many times more in M'sian income taxes compared to the funds used fo my education. There were many, many non-Malays on the list of M'sian govt. scholars in my peer group across the world, inc. doctors and engineers. Of course Malays get the bulk of the funds because Malays and other Bumis form a 68% majority in Malaysia. <BR/><BR/>- Kelatenese mindset (tak hile di dunia..) still deeply embeded … in your mind. What is this? Parachiolism?<BR/>No. Its called having an anchor. Having a point of reference. Having a distinct Marker amidst life’s complexities. The difference between an Oghé Kelaté and other Malays of this country is that the Oghé Kelaté do not see their race, their identity, their pride as a detriment to progress. We know who we are, and we are proud of it. With our identity firmly in place, we can partake in the business of self-development, of progressing, of fighting it out in the marketplace. There are hundreds of Oghé Kelaté in Southern California. Many are multi-millionaires – making their big bucks in the food and logistics business. A couple even became Hollywood extras. Many have American/Mexican wives. No big deal, The wives will be fully conversant in Kelantanese in no time. My former gorgeous Californian gal could eat nasi kerabu and budu with her hands while sitting cross-legged on the carpet and became a great fan of everything Kelantanese. Ended up marrying another Kelantanese (a Husam Musa lookalike)! She's hooked. That’s the essence of being an Oghé Kelaté. We are not weak and easily swayed by mannerisms of others. <BR/>In Kelantan, the non-Malays speak perfect Kelantanese. But in other parts of Malaysia, the Malays are the ones who must adjust to the Bahasa Longkang of these people, hence you speak like an Ah Pek to a Chinese and like a mamak roti to an Indian. Why is that? I know why. Because you are shy of your identity. You are all “reluctant Malays.” That’s why minority races can treat you with contempt. You go to a two-bit coffeehouse and start to utter “Can I have Fresh Orange please” to a fellow Malay. Why? Because your language is not suited to that environment. Sad indeed. But not in KB, from the gardener to the hotel GM to the CEO to the royalties, everybody kécé Kelaté with gusto, with pride, with confidence. That is called IDENTITY. A race with no identity cannot progress. Of course, when the time comes to communicate in English, you will never know I’m a Malay or Malaysian over the phone. That’s the beauty of it. Pure beautiful Kelantanese in Kota Bharu; pure beautiful correct American English in the U.S. No half way, no Manglish here.<BR/><BR/>Take pride in your Pahang roots. Learn Pahang history. Find out where your ancestors came from. Speak your Bahasa Melayu Pahang aloud, with pride and passion. Be your true self. Only then can you succeed in life’s journey.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-194647368902980524.post-63285890706134668672008-10-18T00:57:00.000-07:002008-10-18T00:57:00.000-07:00Dear Deminegara:Undoubtedly, deme have excellent l...Dear Deminegara:<BR/><BR/>Undoubtedly, deme have excellent linguistic/writing skills, bravo!

They are meaningful.<BR/><BR/>By the way, nice photo of the tiger. How about a more menacing-looking one? The video clip of the 10th Paratroop Brigade, Malay Regimen, is a nice touch too. These visuals drive home some powerful points.<BR/><BR/>Pink ShadesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-194647368902980524.post-67731127006121729772008-10-14T08:29:00.000-07:002008-10-14T08:29:00.000-07:00Pink ShadesThanks for your support.You are one of ...Pink Shades<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your support.<BR/><BR/>You are one of my earliest "junkie" (no, lets call it "fan"). You sent a comment on the very first day of this blog. That was the day I said to myself enough is enough and decided to do my little infinitessimal part in this battle for Malaysia's future.<BR/><BR/>Thanks also for putting a link at chedet.com (one of my favourites as well). <BR/><BR/>You know, 6-7 yrs ago I somehow found myself in Che Det's office (when he was still THE head honcho of Malaysia) to explain to him the gist of a paper that I wrote on Corporate Governance. Supersmart guy. Very attentive. Never interject. Sharp, incisive questions. <BR/><BR/>I guess he took some of my advise (on compelling Entrepreneurs to hire Professional Mgrs) and taught me a thing or two. Also got invited to his trade trips to the U.S. and Japan. Those were fantastic days, so full of hope and ambition. But that's another story for another day (blog?).<BR/><BR/>KijangMasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-194647368902980524.post-40017853681052199842008-10-14T03:12:00.000-07:002008-10-14T03:12:00.000-07:00I’m your ardent fan but I’m also a firm fan of che...I’m your ardent fan but I’m also a firm fan of chedet and jebatmustdie. These three blogs are a must-read for me. That’s where I get my education on SoPo issues. It’s heartening to know that there are citizens out there who can articulate their thoughts so well and are able to give meaningful, factual and compelling analysis of their subject matters. You all write with so much passion it’s inspiring.<BR/><BR/>Even the comments here are well-written such as Apocryphalist’s (tongue- twister name!). I’m happy to see that all of you are using your gift of writing and high intellect for the good of this nation. Keep on blogging.

This is actually a relatively mild sample. <BR/><BR/>Do you think these psychopaths and weirdos think about the much-talked about quest for Fairness, Equality and Justice in their twisted minds? Just marvel at their reaction to the <B>TRUTH</B> and <B> COLD HARD FACTS</B>. Do you think these people will respond to reason? Will be amenable to a dialogue? No. What do you do when you see a cockroach? Hug it? You know what you'll do. Same here with these Rabid Racist Junkies. <BR/><BR/>Is this <B>MT Junkie</B> a representation of the new Bangsa Malaysia empowered by <I>Ketuanan Rakyat</I> that will drive our beloved Motherland forward in these challenging times?<BR/><BR/>Think about it.<BR/><BR/>These are <B>Rabid Racists</B> to the core and we patriotic Malaysians of all races and creeds will weed out these filth from our midst, once and for all.<BR/><BR/>As an <I>Anak Malaysia</I>, I will not allow these poor excuses for humanity to languish on my <I>Tanah Tumpah Darah</I>; to pollute the minds of our fellow Rakyat with their philosophy of hate and vengeance; to sow the seeds of disunity, indeed, to oppose the very foundation of our nationhood.<BR/><BR/>As the saying goes: <I>Jangan jolok Harimau tidur</I>.

I have the same feeling as yours with regard to MT, but unfortunately is not able to put those feeling into words. You have done in on my behalf and put it into one nice piece of work.<BR/><BR/>The overwhelming responses and praises that you received shows that there are many who share the same frustration with MT.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work and thank you for letting out the voice of many silent majority against few hypocritical bigots who infest MT as though the represent the voice of Malaysia.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-194647368902980524.post-71991013507704502382008-10-13T05:04:00.000-07:002008-10-13T05:04:00.000-07:00deminegara,you are nothing but a cheapskate UMNO c...deminegara,<BR/><BR/>you are nothing but a cheapskate UMNO cybertrooper trying to discredit RPK.

I would think that as "intellectuals," they would the first ones to realise the scam behind MT. But thats not to be. Perhaps it boils down to their pathetic inferiority complex, where their self-worth is dependent on the "validation" of the non-Malays, although this would entail their "collaboration" in the anti-Malay agenda of the MT junkies. <BR/><BR/>I quote your piece here from the JMD blog:- <BR/><BR/>"Little do the malays who join in foray of these name calling realize that these putrid profanities are not really directed to the two leaders in question but quiescently and inherently to his own race; cleverly camouflaged in some amorphous shibboleth of Justice, Freedom and Equality."<BR/><BR/>I couldn't put it any better.<BR/><BR/>You also made a key point:-<BR/><BR/>"In Petra’s like-minded mindspace, supporting contributors and visitors deliriously have a false sense of Ultimate Right, calling themselves “the Rakyat” when, of course, we all know better, don’t we?"<BR/><BR/>Bingo. You hit the nail squarely on the head. The MT Spinmeisters and the MT junkies hijacked the term "Rakyat" to legitimise their narrow anti-Malay agenda. This is part of their template to cloud the perception of the real rakyat and foreign observers. <BR/><BR/>But Demi Negara and fellow nationalist blogs will lead the charge to unravel this fallacy, to expose their charade.<BR/><BR/>I hope you drop by often and contribute to the effort to reclaim our nation, our Tanah Air Tercinta from these treacherous hordes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-194647368902980524.post-89012792839026251422008-10-10T20:50:00.000-07:002008-10-10T20:50:00.000-07:00read the news today where the gerakan wanita chief...read the news today where the gerakan wanita chief picked a point from some bloggers, which she categorizing the bumis, the chinese and indians are pendatang and to have equal rights, with the natives are not well taken care of. well, another fellow mocking the federal constitution.
