Satu Sekolah Untuk Semua

This started as a thought. One of a thousand thoughts shared among the fertile minds of the DN Community. Members of this community of patriots are known as the DN Knights, a term coined by the pioneering Knight of all, the indomitable Mat Cendana of Mat Cendana’s Blog Review.

The issue of streamlined schooling surfaced repeatedly as the DN Knights deliberated on the mutifaceted impediments to national unity and the seeming futility in forging a true Bangsa Malaysia of sufficiently shared affinities to reflect our common nationhood.

A Knight by the nic of Sepadu, a regular commenter renown for his thoughtful views on making Malaysia a better land for all, dropped a cyber-bombshell of a suggestion. He asked if the collective wisdom and energies of the DN Community could be harnessed to draft a memorandum to the Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister, Muhyiddin Yassin, to implore the government to seriously relook at the current multi-stream educational anomaly with an eye towards forging a singular Sekolah Kebangsaan for all Malaysians. This is what Sepadu said:-

I'm thinking of drafting a letter in BM, in the name of the Demi Negara community represented by you and to be signed by you in whatever manner convenient to you, addressed to YAB TPM merangkap Menteri Pelajaran ... The issues are so important that, in addition to hoping the authorities come to this blog, we bring our views directly to them in the form of a letter ... I would begin writing the draft after getting your OK and the response from other members of the DN community, expressed as comments in this post of yours (DN: April 19, 2009 6:04 AM).

I said o.k., go ahead and lets see if the Knights would oblige and contribute to the cause. The trickle of support quickly became an avalanche as Malaysians from all walks of life voiced their support for this initiative, with many e-mailing me privately. One of these closet supporters who finally "came out" is NJ, a true patriot and fellow critic of PM Najib's fuzzy 1 Malaysia concept. Kembara Politik volunteered as the editor. Bro satD of Pure Shiite fame set-up our literary sandbox at Writeboard, an Open Source-type community editing site. Rezuan Asrah of the Elusi IT blog was particularly committed and provided the necessary technical expertise to our cyber-collaboration. The inimitable Pakcik Dal, the urbane mountain man, resident sage and voice of reason at DN, almost single-handedly collated the relevant narratives from past comments at this blog, a daunting task reflective of his energy and commitment towards a better, cohesive Malaysia of the future.

Thoughts and opinions poured in from around the world. Zazaland from France, a member of the Malay diaspora in Europe, related the French approach to social cohesion via education and expended her own resources to secure detailed European research materials. Many others provided a stirring repository of references and research findings, including Cenderawasih and Omong. My compadré, Jebat Must Die, shared his thoughts. Indeed, the JMD blog is a veritable trove of facts and anecdotes relevant to the cause. An anonymous patriot answered my call for the Satu Sekolah Untuk Semua logo and worked tirelessly to fine-tune the design. Terima kasih saudara. Even Tommy Yew, my old sparring partner often identified with this Unker, chipped in with encouragement and provided cyber-kopi-o to the team.

All these energised enthusiasm were well-marshalled by Sepadu and Bro satD, a fellow Kelantanese currently advising the Indonesian government on complex financial reforms in the true spirit of Nusantaran solidarity.

What transpired was a unique online collaboration, perhaps the first of its kind in the Malaysian blogosphere. The Knights collectively conceived, formulated and refined a memorandum to the Deputy Prime Minister in a truly seamless self-regulating "Open Source" environment. And this is not for a trivial feel-good note. The memo covers a complex subject with far-reaching impact on nation building.

The memorandum to the DPM calls for a re-synthesization of our educational framework aimed towards forging a singular National School System conducted in Bahasa Malaysia, except, of course, for certain prescribed subjects.

The rationale is two-pronged:-

- One. There is no Constitutional provision for multiple language streaming of our schools. Education is an official matter of state, and per our Constitution, all such matters must be conducted in one language and one language only, our national language, Bahasa Malaysia. The supremacy of Bahasa Malaysia is also a matter of strategic national interest and a public good of the highest priority. Anything that transgresses this public good -- in this case Vernacular Schools -- by definition, are unconstitutional and must be removed from our social realm.

- Two. The segregation of our citizens from a very young and impressionable age (via vernacular schools) has become the single biggest impediment to the creation of a true Bangsa Malaysia unified by a common identity, mindset and language. After almost 52 years of Merdeka, a large proportion of MyCard-carrying Warganegara Malaysia are functional-illiterates in the language of their country of citizenship, and are incapable of partaking in the process of nation-building and social integration expected of citizens of any nation in this world.

The vernacular school menace MUST be eradicated from our blessed land. This is Malaysia. The national language is Bahasa Malaysia. English, the international language of commerce, science and technology can be a second, albeit unofficial language. The other languages are best kept and nurtured in their countries of origin and, if truly necessary as a cultural imperative in this country, be uttered within the private confines of the specific communities. This is clearly articulated in Article 152 of the Federal Constitution, which says:-

The national language shall be the Malay language and shall be in such script as Parliament may by law provide, provided that no person shall be prohibited or prevented from using, otherwise than for official purposes, or from teaching or learning any other language.

The operative words here -- "using," "teaching" and "learning" the other languages -- refer to the usage and acquisition of these languages in and of themselves only, and restricted to the context of "otherwise than for official purposes" and do not by any stretch of the imagination infer to their usage as the language of instruction in such an important "official purpose" as Malaysia's school system.

I don’t see any other way to forge national integration, national unity, to instill a sense of commonality of purpose and a sense of shared destiny except to vigorously push for a streamlined, singular School System for ALL Malaysians. Every single one of us, of all origin and ethnicity, must speak in one tongue and undergo the same educational journey as Warganegaras of this blessed land. No single Anak Bangsa Malaysia should be allowed to fall into the communal trap laid by selfish, irrational chauvinists and denied the same opportunity as Mainstream Malaysiana.

Relive the battle cry "Satu Bangsa Satu BAHASA, Malaysia Berjaya!" of our forefathers amidst external threats when Persekutuan Malaysia was formed in 1963. And a single school system taught in Bahasa Malaysia is the single-most crucial element in the forging of this true Anak Bangsa Malaysia and the determinant of Malaysia's tenability as a cohesive and progressive nation for all.

Y.A.B. Tan Sri,

Pengkajian Semula Sistem Pembelajaran Malaysia untuk Melahirkan Suatu Bangsa Malaysia Yang Bersatu, Teguh dan Bersepadu

Dengan segala hormatnya kami mengemukakan cadangan yang tersebut di atas demi melahirnya suatu Bangsa Malaysia yang kukuh, bersatu dan bersepadu yang akan menjamin masa depan negara kita. Kami bukanlah suatu kumpulan politik atau berpihak kepada mana-mana unsur politik negara ini. Kami adalah warganegara yang prihatin terhadap pembentukan masyarakat Malaysia yang jitu dan yang benar-benar sehati dan sejiwa yang akan mengemudi negara kita tercinta ke arah kegemilangan.


Gejala-Gejala Polarisasi Kaum di Malaysia

Pengkajian semula sistem pelajaran negara ini haruslah dilakukan memandangkan fenomena perpecahan kaum yang semakin meruncing di masa kini. Gejala ini amatlah jelas sekali di alam siber dimana segelintir masyarakat kini mempamirkan sikap anti-negara yang semakin berleluasa. Jelas sekali, anasir-anasir ini tidak menghormati asas dan prinsip Perlembagaan negara, tiada rasa cinta kepada Tanah Air dan juga menonjolkan penulisan hasutan yang mencetuskan sentimen perkauman yang begitu ketara sekali. Secara lantang anasir subversif ini mempertikaikan segala lambang kedaulatan dan intipati negara kita tercinta. Dari pengamatan kami, puak penderhaka ini antara lain telah menyentuh perkara seperti berikut:-

• Mempertikai kedaulatan institusi Raja-Raja Melayu yang diperuntukan dalam Perkara 181 Perlembagaan Malaysia .

• Membangkitkan isi-isu sensitif seperti kedudukan istimewa Orang Melayu dan kaum Bumiputra lain yang termaktub dalam Perkara 153 Perlembagaan Malaysia .

• Mengabaikan Bahasa Rasmi negara, iaitu Bahasa Malaysia, dan mempromosikan secara meluas bahasa-bahasa asing, termasuk Mandarin dan Tamil, yang bertentangan dengan Perkara 152 Perlembagaan Malaysia.

• Menidakkan adanya suatu Kontrak Sosial (berkaitan kerakyatan masyarakat Bukan Melayu dan kedudukan istimewa Orang Melayu) yang telah terjalin di antara kaum-kaum di negara ini sejak Merdeka dahulu.

• Mengeji dan mempersenda Dasar Ekonomi Baru yang digubal mengikut Perkara 153 Perlembagaan Malaysia.

• Mempersoal dan menidakkan peranan dan pengorbanan Orang Melayu yang telah bertapak di Bumi Tanah Melayu sejak sebelum zaman Kesultanan Melayu Melaka lagi dalam pembentukan dan pembangunan negara ini.

• Melebihkan peranan puak imigran dalam pembentukan dan pembangunan negara ini ke tahap yang menyimpang jauh dari kenyataan.

• Menjanakan berbagai penipuan sejarah yang akan memudaratkan pemikiran rakyat negara ini, terutama anak-anak di bangku sekolah.

• Mempersenda dan memperlekehkan segala simbol kenegaraan Malaysia yang patut di sanjungi dan dipertahan oleh setiap lapisan masyarakat, termasuklah lagu Negaraku, Keris, Songkok dan, seperti tersebut di atas, institusi Raja-Raja Melayu, Bahasa Malaysia dan sejarah negara ini.

• Mempertikai hujah-hujah pemimpin Bukan Melayu terdahulu seperti Presiden MIC, Tun V.T. Sambanthan dan Presiden MCA, Tun Tan Siew Sin, dimana pemimpin-pemimpin ulung tersebut telah melafazkan rasa kesedaran, keinsafan dan berterimakasih terhadap budi perkerti dan sikap bertolak-ansur Orang Melayu di dalam pemberian kerakyatan Jus Soli kepada kaum pendatang di Tanah Melayu, tidak seperti nasib yang menimpa kaum mereka di negara-negara serantau.


Kewujudan Bangsa Malaysia Yang Berbahasa Malaysia dan yang Berlandaskan Budaya dan Tatatertib Orang Melayu

Setelah hampir 52 tahun merdeka, negara kita kini menghadapi masalah perkauman dan kerapuhan sosial yang amat membimbangkan. Polarisasi kaum telah sampai ke tahap kritikal dan kini mengancam kesejahteraan masyarakat dan keselamatan negara. Justeru, Malaysia sudah tiada pilihan kecuali berikhtiar untuk menzahirkan suatu Bangsa Malaysia yang teguh bersatu, yang berbahasa Kebangsaan sebagai bahasa utama, yang bersepadu dalam pemikiran dan yang mempunyai tahap patriotisme yang tinggi berlandaskan cinta kepada negara dan hormat kepada Perlembagaan.

Berpandukan kepada semangat kenegaraan yang menjadi asas pembentukan Persekutuan Tanah Melayu dan kemudiannya Persekutuan Malaysia, Bangsa Malaysia ini haruslah secara menyeluruh :-

• Fasih bertutur di dalam Bahasa Kebangsaan. Bahkan Bahasa Malaysia menjadi bahasa ibunda seluruh Bangsa Malaysia di suatu hari kelak;

• Memahami dan menghormati adat-adat dan tatasusila orang Melayu dan kaum pribumi lain di Malaysia;

• Menghormati kedudukan Agama rasmi Malaysia iaitu Agama Islam sambil menikmati kebebasan beragama sesuai dengan peruntukan perlembagaan;

• Mempertutur bahasa warisan ibunda lain dan mengamalkan warisan budaya ibunda dengan cara yang sesuai dengan peruntukan Perlembagaan, iaitu di luar konteks urusan rasmi dan di amalkan secara peribadi oleh komuniti tersebut.

Konsep Bangsa Malaysia yang kami amati telah diperbincangkan dengan mendalam di wadah kami. Suatu penjelasan menyeluruh telah di huraikan di blog Demi Negara.

Titik permulaan dalam pembentukan Bangsa Malaysia tersebut terletak pada sistem pembelajaran negara kita. Sikap terhadap Bangsa Malaysia ini harus di bentuk dari peringkat asas. Justeru, Sistem Pembelajaran Malaysia haruslah di sesuaikan agar menjadi wadah utama dalam penerapan nilai-nilai Bangsa Malaysia tersebut di kalangan anak-anak kita bermula dari usia yang muda.


Dasar Sistem Pembelajaran Malaysia Di Masa Kini

Kami berpendapat, pembinaan suatu Bangsa Malaysia yang teguh bersatu dan jitu bersepadu tidak akan tercapai selagi adanya gejala Sekolah Vernakular (Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan atau SJK) di Bumi Malaysia. Sekolah Vernakular tidak selaras dengan matlamat melahirkan Bangsa Malaysia berharmoni dan bersepadu yang berteraskan unsur-unsur nasionalisme yang sepatutnya. Malah ia telah menjadi penghalang utama keatas hasrat kerajaan membina masyarakat yang sehaluan bahasa, minda dan kebudayaan asas.

Kewujudan Sekolah Vernakular telah menimbulkan berbagai tanda tanya ke atas peranan dan status nya di masa kini. Ini termasuklah:-

• Sekolah Vernakular adalah bertentangan dengan status Bahasa Malaysia sebagai Bahasa Rasmi negara kita. Malah, Sekolah Vernakular nyata bercanggah dengan peruntukan Perlembagaan dimana Bahasa Malaysia diwajibkan untuk segala urusan rasmi, dan Sistem Pembelajaran adalah suatu urusan rasmi negara.

• Bahasa penghantar di SJKC ialah Mandarin, Bahasa Kebangsaan sebuah negara asing, iaitu Republik Rakyat China. Malah ia bukan bahasa asli mana-mana suku kaum Cina yang tinggal di negara ini. Bahasa penghantar SJKT pula adalah Tamil, bahasa rasmi negeri Tamil Nadu di India. Ini adalah suatu fenomena sosial yang amat ganjil dan tidak harus di benarkan di negara kita.

• Seperti termaktub dalam Perlembagaan Malaysia, Bahasa Kebangsaan wajib digunakan untuk segala urusan rasmi negara. Sistem Pembelajaran merupakan suatu urusan rasmi negara sepertimana di semua negara di dunia.

• Perkara 152(a) Perlembagaan Malaysia menyatakan :-

"No person shall be prohibited or prevented from using (otherwise than for official purposes), or from teaching or learning, any other language."

Fasal tersebut tidak memberi mandat kepada Kerajaan untuk membenarkan, apatah lagi memberi sokongan wang dan sebagainya, kepada mana-mana sekolah yang menggunakan bahasa selain dari Bahasa Kebangsaan kerana sistem pembelajaran adalah suatu urusan rasmi (“offical purpose").

• Dari segi “protection of the legitimate interest of the others” yang termaktub dalam Perlembagaan, "kepentingan sah masyarakat lain" merangkumi urusan peribadi masyarakat tersebut dan tidak termasuk hak untuk menggunakan bahasa penghantar lain bagi urusan pembelajaran di sekolah. Peruntukan dalam Perlembagaan Malaysia membolehkan pengajaran dan pertuturan bahasa lain secara peribadi di kalangan sesuatu masyarakat, dan bukan hingga ke tahap penggunaan bahasa lain secara berleluasa termasuk sebagai bahasa penghantar utama di sekolah.

• Sekolah Vernakular pada amnya mengandungi satu kaum sahaja dalam suasana pembelajaran yang tidak membayangkan arca dan kandungan masyarakat negara ini. Ini tidak sesuai dalam melahirkan suatu Bangsa Malaysia yang bersatu dan bersepadu. Murid Sekolah Vernakular wujud dalam suasana terpencil dari aliran am. Mereka menyerapkan nilai-nilai satu kaum sahaja, tidak bergaul dengan kaum-kaum lain, tidak dapat pengalaman berinteraksi, kurang memahami adat resam kaum lain dan susah menerima hakikat bahawa adat resam dan budaya kaum majoriti di negara ini perlu di fahami dan di hormati. Ini mengakibatkan pemikiran mereka terkongkong dan menjadi janggal dan mereka bermasalah menyesuaikan diri dalam masyarakat majmuk negara ini.

• Pengasingan sebahagian warganegara ke alam Sekolah Vernakular sejak umur yang senang di pengaruhi telah menjadi penghalang terbesar kepada kewujudan suatu Bangsa Malaysia yang bersatu di bawah satu bahasa, identiti dan pemikiran.

Tiga Bahasa Penghantar Tidak Sejajar dengan Perlembagaan dan Bertentangan dengan Amanat Rukunegara

Perkara 152 Perlembagaan Malaysia membenarkan pengajaran bahasa-bahasa selain dari Bahasa Kebangsaan untuk lain-lain komuniti di Malaysia. Tetapi kebebasan ini nyata terbatas kepada pembelajaran khusus bahasa tersebut sahaja dan bukan untuk ianya dijadikan bahasa penghantar bagi matapelajaran lain di Sistem Persekolahan negara Malaysia.

Kita tidak harus ada tiga sistem pembelajaran dalam tiga bahasa penghantar. Bangsa Malaysia yang bersatu dan bersepadu tidak mungkin lahir dari suasana sebegini. Keadaan tiga sistem pembelajaran ini tidak sejajar dan jelas bertentangan dengan semangat dan peruntukan perlembagaan, dan juga menyimpang dari matlamat utama Rukunegara, iaitu “mencapai perpaduan yang lebih erat di kalangan seluruh masyarakat nya.”

Keagungan Bahasa Malaysia sebagai Bahasa Kebangsaan dan Bahasa Rasmi negara ini mesti di pertahankan. Perkara yang tidak sejajar, menghalang atau menentang peruntukan bahasa dalam Perlembagaan adalah di sifatkan sebagai bercanggah dengan Perlembagaan atau “unconstitutional.”

Masalah-masalah yang timbul dari kewujudan Sekolah Vernakular banyak di perkatakan bukan sahaja di blog Demi Negara, malah di berbagai blog lain. Contoh hujah-hujah di alam siber yang mempertikai kewujudan Sekolah Vernakular di huraikan di lampiran bersama surat ini.

Berdasarkan kepada fakta dan pendapat yang terpapar di sini dan segala hujah yang dikemukakan di pautan-pautan berkenaan, kami dengan hormat nya meminta agar gejala Sekolah Vernakular ini di hapuskan secara total.

Kesemua Sekolah Vernakular yang ada sekarang harus diserapkan kedalam Sistem Sekolah Kebangsaan dimana peruntukkan secukupnya dibuat untuk menyediakan pembelajaran bahasa ibunda khusus untuk mana-mana murid yang memerlukannya.


Langkah susulan yang kami syorkan:-

Pengkajian Semula Sistem Pelajaran Negara oleh Kumpulan Bebas

Kami mencadangkan suatu kajian terperinci oleh kumpulan pengkaji bebas di adakan keatas fenomena Sekolah Vernakular ini. Kumpulan pengkaji bebas ini haruslah terdiri daripada individu-individu yang berkelayakan dan berpengalaman yang setimpal dan berkecuali dari politik (non-partisan) sepenuhnya demi menentukan integriti laporan yang akan dikeluarkan. Tokoh asing yang terkenal dan berpengalaman dalam kajian sebegitu boleh juga dijemput ke kumpulan pengkaji untuk meningkatkan prestasi dan kredibiliti kajian dan laporan tersebut.

Penggubalan semula Akta Pendidikan 1996

Akta Pendidikan 1996 tidak sejajar dengan matlamat pengwujudan Bangsa Malaysia seperti yang termaktub di dalam Perlembagaan. Akta tersebut yang membolehkan wujudnya sekolah vernakular haruslah dirombak agar ianya kembali kepada niat asal penubuhan Persekutuan Tanah Melayu. Akta tersebut berbunyi:-

"AND WHEREAS the above policy is to be executed through a national system of education which provides for the national language to be the main medium of instruction, a National Curriculum and common examinations; the education provided being varied and comprehensive in scope and which will satisfy the needs of the nation as well as promote national unity through cultural, social, economic and political development in accordance with the principles of Rukunegara."

Walaubagaimanapun, kewujudan sekolah vernakular mengabaikan objektif yang tertera di atas. Penggubalan semula Akta ini akan membolehkan rakyat Malaysia mengecapi suatu struktur pendidikan yang seragam melalui keperkasaan sistem sekolah kebangsaan.

Mata Pelajaran Sejarah Di Mestikan

Melihat betapa pentingnya generasi pelapis negara kita diserapkan dengan pengetahuan sejarah yang kukuh dan mencukupi, kami juga mencadangkan agar subjek Sejarah diwajibkan di semua sekolah di Malaysia. Anak muda yang Celik Sejarah akan memahami asal usul, arca dan konteks pembentukan negara Malaysia.

Ini termasuklah latarbelakang institusi Raja-Raja Melayu, perjuangan wira tanah air kita di zaman silam, peranan Orang Melayu dalam mencetus tamadun dan pembentukan negeri-negeri di Tanah Melayu sejak abad-abad awal selepas Masihi, kemasukan kaum-kaum lain ke Tanah Melayu, permuafakatan di antara kaum yang membawa kepada pembentukan Kontrak Sosial yang tersirat dalam Perlembagaan dan punca termaktubnya hak-hak dan keistimewaan Orang Melayu dalam Perlembagaan.

Masyarakat yang Celik Sejarah akan mencetuskan suasana yang menyemarakkan pengwujudan Bangsa Malaysia yang kita idamkan selama ini. Selagi tidak timbul Bangsa Malaysia ini, selagilah kita berterusan sebagai sebuah negara rojak yang dilanda berbagai gejala sosial yang tidak sihat dan berbahaya kepada keselamatan negara.

Penulisan Semula Buku-Buku Teks Sejarah

Kami juga mencadangkan supaya buku-buku teks Sejarah negara di kaji semula secara menyeluruh. Fakta-fakta sejarah yang lebih tepat dan terperinci harus dicatatkan oleh kumpulan cendiakawan yang terbukti kewibawaan dan integriti mereka. Penghuraian sejarah yang betul akan memainkan peranan sebagai pencetus kepada pembentukan suatu Bangsa Malaysia yang sehati dan sejiwa di Tanah Air kita yang bertuah ini.

Rumusan

Kewujudan Sekolah Vernakular adalah satu-satunya punca utama ketidakserasian dan ketegangan kaum di negara kita tercinta. Fenomena ini hampir tiada tolak bandingnya di dunia ini dan telah menjadi suatu barah yang kian menular dalam kancah kerapuhan masyarakat Malaysia. Jika gejala Sekolah Vernakular ini tidak dibendung, negara kita akan terus bergerak ke ambang kehancuran.

Dalam segi Perlembagaan Persekutuan Malaysia, Sekolah Vernakular jelas tiada tempatnya, bahkan bercanggah dengan fasal-fasal Perlembagaan dengan begitu ketara sekali. Percanggahan ini harus di bendung dan di perbetulkan secepat mungkin demi kestabilan dan keselamatan negara.

Kami pohon agar Y.A.B. Tan Sri memberi perhatian, pertimbangan dan penekanan yang sewajarnya keatas cadangan-cadangan yang dikemukakan di sini demi masa depan Bangsa dan Negara Malaysia tercinta. Kami berdoa agar tindakan yang sejajar dengan kepentingan perkara ini diambil oleh Y.A.B. Tan Sri dan langkah-langkah susulan dilaksanakan oleh kementerian Y.A.B. Tan Sri.


Sekian, terima kasih.

We must do something to arrest this divisive social cancer for the future of the Anak Bangsa Malaysia.

Losers' Luncheon and a 3-in-1 Malaysia

Met up with Robin at a kopitiam yesterday. Will post that most interesting conversation soon.

Meanwhile, KijangMas gatecrashed a Losers' Luncheon last month.

Chitchatted with the guy who couldn't help wanting to be the PM and the guy who needed help when he was the PM.

Just got this from the paparazzi:-

Nothing much happened at that makan, except that the guy to my right (yeah, in tie) devoured everything in sight and the guy on my left lost his appetite.

The MSM later "spun the scoop" into orbit with the report below. Hey Joceline, what's with the "roasted wild deer"?

Click to Enlarge

Oh, another thing. Our new Prime Minister is touting something called 1 Malaysia. But how come his blog is multilingual? Even got version in the national language of the People's Republic of China. Dalam Bahasa rasmi Tamil Nadu bila lagi?

Click to Enlarge

I didn't know we have voters up in Beijing and Dalian and Lanzhou?

Memanda Perdana Menteri, are you promoting 1 Malaysia or a 3-in-1 Malaysia?

In these early days, PM Najib Razak seems to project himself as a neo-liberal almost in the plasticky, superficial Zaid Ibrahim mold in his bid to appease and caress the sentiment of the non-Malays. To me this is an ill-advised stance and, if it persists, would lead to further degeneration of our social order. The undercurrents of discontent to this state of affairs among the Malay majority would be to the detriment of UMNO and the BN and ultimately the nation itself.

As it is, the non-Malays have berpaling tadah en masse to Pakatan. They have tasted the intoxicating nectar of power and it is beyond Najib or anyone else to turn them over to the BN in the foreseeable future. Whatever goodies and giveaways thrown at these people now would just be wasted trump cards earning nothing in return. And these concessions are politically almost impossible to retract or take back once they are dished out.

My advise to Najib and his team is to lay off these wayward non-Malays for now. Ignore and forget these hopelessly seduced bigots and chauvinists and let them tango and cha cha and joget to their hearts content with the Pakatan gang until the honeymoon ends in a self-destructing calamity of scandals, failed expectations and infighting that would mushroom as PRU13 inches closer.

Najib should instead focus his energy on rebuilding the Malay support base for UMNO, and work towards some semblance of "Malay Unity" with PAS within 24 months as PAS drifts away on the choppy waves from the unwieldy, erratic Pakatan ship.

Whether it cares to admit or not, UMNO's future as the political ruler of this land has become inexorably tied to PAS' political machinations and leadership intrigue. If the pragmatic nationalists prevail over the orthodox dogmatists in PAS' own internal powerplay, the party will "see the light" and distance itself from Pakatan. And this would profoundly impact Malaysia's political dynamics.

What does it take to induce this seismic shift in Malay politics?

This is the kind of poser PM Najib and his inner circle must contemplate and strategise, the focal point of his quest to forge a solid political base that would facilitate the pursuance of his agenda for national renewal. Hence, the PM should not waste precious time indulging in Mandarin blogs and embracing untenable concepts touting perpetual social variegation that would further propel this nation into a ruinous existence. Najib need not fall over backwards to portray an ill-conceived and unrealistic pseudo-liberalist persona to a group already seduced and poisoned by the Pakatan charlatans.

I'm also boggled by PM Najib's embrace of vernacular schools. This was first demonstrated when he was DPM during the KT By-elections with his RM50 million gift to the SJKCs. I also sense in him a lax attitude towards language. Yes, we all noticed that his 1 Malaysia blog comes in three languages including Mandarin. Many patriots sent me notes on this, and a gentleman even wrote a strongly worded e-mail to Najib (copied to me) complete with a link to my Racial Polarisation post. Couldn't Najib see the ravages on our social cohesion caused by this cancerous SJK anomaly? Is he that ill-informed, out of touch, blissfully ignorant? Another Sleepyhead in the making? Indeed, is he really well read? Or has he become too dependent on ill-conceived briefing papers and abridged analyses percolating from some obscure basement labyrinth in Putrajaya?

My concern here is the quality of advise Najib is getting. At the moment, albeit still very early days, and as mentioned, he seemed more concerned with garnering non-Malay support than anything else. What do you think is currently going through the minds of Malay Nationalists, the bedrock of UMNO's support across the land?

Yes, Najib's 1 Malaysia concept is still in its infancy and will need further calibration, but thus far I don't see any clear blueprint or roadmap for the forging of a real Anak Bangsa Malaysia as I have exhaustively expounded.

What is the socio-political basis of 1 Malaysia? Yes, beyond the catchy jingoism? Indeed, way before we shout catchy slogans and nifty buzzwords that mean nothing beyond the superficial glitter and noisy razzmatazz, we must first forge a solid ideological foundation, an irrepressible philosophy that makes 1 Malaysia a natural, long-overdue social blueprint that would be embraced by the Rakyat as a matter of rational imperative. And this foundation of nation-building must be able to withstand the test of logical inquisition and critical analysis and prevail and flourish as something so profound, so necessary, so timely in this phase of our nation's existence.

To do this, Najib and his team must revisit the primordial building blocks of our nationhood. They themselves must understand history and will need to communicate to the Rakyat how and why we became what we are today and what needs to be done to recalibrate the trajectory of our social evolution. Explain the flawed prescriptions of the first 51 years of nationhood, including the utter neglect and confusion of the past six years, that collectively created an untenable multilingual, multicultural, multi-identity and multi-everything milieu forged on a brittle palate of overlapping realities pulled apart by the incompatible aspirations and divergent expectations of a mutually-estranged populace. Then expound why we have no choice but to recalibrate our societal dynamics to a new paradigm of shared affinities underpinned by a common, pervasive national language, Bahasa Malaysia, and a socio-cultural mold based on the budaya and tatasusila of the original Orang Melayu essence of this nation.

This is the immediate challenge for the PM and his team.


And my message to the subversive historio-revisionists: ponder and contemplate with much-needed humility the statements below by the pioneering leaders of the minority communities. This one-third of the Malaysian Rakyat has today deviated from their aspired place in our society and has been the main obstacle to nation-building, due in part to their complete and utter ignorance of Malaysian history.

The minorities must be infused with a sense of responsibility (which comes with the Kerakyatan package) to help forge a civil, progressive society, a common, irrepressible Bangsa Malaysia yang memartabatkan Satu Bahasa Satu Negara dan berlandaskan Satu Bangsa Satu Negara.


Quote from a speech by MIC President and Works, Telecom and Posts Minister, V.T. Sambanthan in the Dewan Rakyat on June 1, 1965:-

… in 1955 we won the elections with a great majority. Then we obtained freedom in two years time. During this period, we had to discuss citizenship and various other things. Now what did the Malays do -- since we are speaking on racial lines -- what did the Malay leadership do? They had 88 percent of the electorate still with them. What did they do with citizenship? If we look around in Asia and East Asia, particularly, you will find that my race the Indian race, is not welcomed in Ceylon, is not welcomed in Burma.

Look at my brother Chinese race, it is not welcomed in Thailand, in Vietnam, in Cambodia, in all the other areas. What help do they get for citizenship in all these territories? In Burma, as we know, Indians have been send packing, in Ceylon they refused them citizenship and in Burma it is likewise. I know it, you know it. And yet in Malaya what happened? Here we found that the Malay leadership said, "We shall take them unto ourselves as brothers, we shall give them full opportunity to live in this country, we shall give them every opportunity to become citizens." And so, in 1957, for the whole year, we waived language qualifications, and tens of thousand of Indians, Chinese, Ceylonese and others became citizens ...

As I said, it has been my great good fortune to have been born in this country. Where else can you find a more charitable, a more polite, a more decent race than the Malay race? Where else can you get such politically decent treatment for any immigrant race? Where else in the history of the world? I ask you. These are the facts. Who are you to safeguard us? I am a 10 percent minority race here. But I am happy here.

Quote of statement by Tan Siew Sin, MCA President and Finance Minister in a local daily titled, "Tun Tan Answers Critics on Special Previleges" dated April 30, 1969:-

The Malays, through UMNO, were generous enough to relax the citizenship laws of this country to such extent that within 12 months of independence, 90 percent of the non-Malays became citizens. This was different to the situation before Merdeka whereas 90 percent of the non-Malays were still non-citizens after nearly 100 years of colonial rule in the Malay States. In return for this major concession. the MCA and the MIC agreed to continue the policy of preserving the special position of the Malays while at the same time upholding the legitimate interest of other communities.

(Source: Tan Sri Khalid Awang Osman, Malaysia - An Anthology, Vantage Press, New York, pp.38-39)

So there you have it. In no uncertain terms. In the public record. Unequivocal. Edged for posterity.

Read and reread carefully the profound statements by V.T. Sambanthan and Tan Siew Sin. Need I say anymore? Still want to deny facts? Still want to rewrite history? Still think you owe the Melayu Tuan Tanahs nothing? You exist as Warganegaras with all kinds of Hak and Keistimewaan on this Bumi Tanah Melayu out of your own volition, the sheer briliance of your species, as a natural right bestowed by some higher being?

No.

Reread the two statements. Instill a sense of Keinsafan and Sikap Berterimakasih to the Orang Melayu for your incredible good fortune to be able to live here and partake in your cultural excesses to your heart’s content with little fear or restrictions and even to the detriment of the Melayu Tuan Tanahs themselves. A little Sedar Diri and appreciation of your Asal Usul and Tempat Dalam Masyarakat would go a long way towards the rehabilitation of your groupthink, to cleanse your souls of the inherent mala fide and degenerative inclinations, and provide a glimmer of hope, albeit excruciatingly faint, of your embrace of the tenets of the true Bangsa Malaysia concept that I have expounded many times.

Again, go read the two statements and learn it by hard and repeat them to yourselves whenever you are inflicted by your peculiar primal urge to cause social mayhem and bedlam in my Tanah Air Tercinta.

To Hell With Politics !

What has happened to our beloved Tanah Air?

The make believe “Perak State Assembly” under a shade tree just about encapsulates the sorry state of Malaysian politics. We are truly a Basket Case now.

Who created all this mess?

Politicians!

Yes, the low-life degenerates eroding the very essence of our existence. We have endured ONE YEAR of hell courtesy of these instigators and subversives who really don’t care about this nation, our hope, our future.

Why should MY welfare, indeed the future of almost 28 million Rakyat Malaysia, be dependent on the whims and fancies, not to mention the grotesque character anomalies of these bunch of dysfunctional social outcasts and assorted psycho cases?

And I'm talking about BOTH sides of the political cesspool here.

We need to go back to the drawing board and take stock of what’s happening to us, to our society, to our nation amidst this unending, crippling political circus. Perhaps we should all be taught the basic protocol of politics, the rules of the game, on the need to get on with life after the election dust settles. Yes, KijangMas may come up with a guide for you dummies out there.

Anyway folks, take a good look at these politicians.

Look at the Pakatan flagbearers: Karpal "Lu Celaka" Singh; Brother Anwar Bin Ibrahim; sneaky Unker Kit and his poker-faced son, Guan Eng; Nizar Ayam Steal the EmBee and his Ngeh-Nga TerNgaNga freakshow puppeteers; the sleazoid Tian Chua; the estate thug N. Gobalakrishnan; ….. ok, ok, cukup … apa? … ada lagi … the Ah Soh Brigade commandos, Fong Poh Kuan, Chong Eng, Teresa Kok …… oh Tuhan, I feel nauseated now …

Hey Loh Gwo Burne, why don’t you be useful for once and pass me the darn Mo Far Kor! Yup, Mo Far Kor, the miracle elixir for expectant mothers, sleepy mahjong kakis and nauseated bloggers.

So you think the Pakatan has a monopoly on the preposterous, ridiculous, outrageous and ludicrous? Think again …

Yup, what about the Barisan people? This bunch of incompetent infighting inconsequential ingrates got any hope of returning to their Golden Age where they were invulnerable, infallible, intelligent and inspiring? Yes? No?

Why not?

What? Look at their people as well? Ok, why don’t we let the picture do the talking:-

Ok, ok, cukup ….. I want my Mo Far Kor!

Anyway, what’s with the Barisan Nasional nowadays? What has Pak Lah done to these Wakil Rakyats and Pemimpins and Pembela Bangsas and Perwira Negaras? Why are they all so weak and clueless now? Yes, I know a fish rots from the head, but this is ridiculous. The Alpha Fish must have contaminated the entire container load, all of it, the bawal, selar, buntal, pari, tongkol, keli, lampan jawa and a sotong or two. Semua rosak. Bau busuk; jual tak laku. Kena buang jauh-jauh dalam laut.

The rot in Barisan triggered a socio-political fission chain-reaction of epic proportions and this culminated in the tsunami of PRU12, where the Barisan ikan busuks were swept away and buried by the debris of competing political forces. And from the ashes of this devastation rose a three-headed political beast known today as the Pakatan Rakyat.

Now you see? The Barisan created the Pakatan. Yes, if not for BN’s utter incompetence and the incorrigible and unelectable nature of many of its leaders and candidates, the Pakatan phenomenon would not have arisen. BN laid the groundwork for the spawning and propagation of this Pakatan freakshow.

Yeah, what’s up with the Pakatan?

You see, instead of using the people’s mandate in five states and a big chunk of the federal parliament for the betterment of the rakyat, Pakatan’s motley crew of oddballs and sleazoids and plain freakish lunatics went way off tangent and rewrote the playbook on nation-wrecking. Yup, when was the last time the DAP hate-mongers and their pathetic PAS and PKR stooges have said or done anything of substance about the economy, nation building, enhancing competitiveness, national cohesion, patriotism? Apart from their barrage of cheapshots, juvenile hecklings and seditious rhetoric, what have they done both in and out of parliament?

Look at these parties. DAP is courting self-destruction with its incessant provocations of the Malay Muslim majority; PKR, a platform for one man’s maniacal obsession to be the Prime Minister, is slowly imploding as we speak; and PAS has abandoned much of its Islamic rhetoric to remain bedfellows with the other two in a grotesque exhibition of hypocrisy -- that its hate for UMNO is more than its love for Islam and the Malays. The party’s stand on the fundamental tenets of Islam and the status and welfare of the Malays are sacrificed and obliterated from the party’s struggle just to appease their rabid, anti-Malay, anti-Islamist allies in DAP and PKR. Yes, what has gotten into the PAS people? These people hate UMNO so much that they don’t mind if their Bangsa dan Agama, not to mention their Raja-Raja Melayu are dragged through the mud and compromised and insulted by their fellow UMNO/BN haters, the chauvinist hoodlums of DAP and their PKR stooges.

Come to think of it, only the lone figure of Tan Seng Giaw exhibited a semblance of dignity and relevance to nation building among the Pakatan people. Maybe its due to his refined Kelantanese roots, a world away from the wretched tin-mining and rubber estate coolie mindset of his party compatriots on the West Coast, where their “struggle” is driven by a pervasive, pathological hatred against the Malays and the Malay essence of this nation.

Yes, I know, Pakatan will blame their ineffectiveness on the proverbial UMNO/BN bogeymen haunting their every move. But hey, this is politics lah! It’s a never ending game of power and influence over the ever-shifting mindset of the populace. If one cannot stand the heat, get the hell out and do something else lah. Fong Kui Lin sure look the part and would do well in the Bak Kut Teh business and Chong Eng will look very much at home in Pasar Borong Selayang. And I bet M. Kulasegaran can whip up a terrific pot of parapu to go with "Professor" P. Ramasamy’s parata in their future Roket Tumbang Curry House in Prai. And I’ll hire N. Gobalakrishnan in a heartbeat to be the Chief Hutang Collector for KijangMas’ now distressed loans to family and friends. As for my buddy and fellow Mo Far Kor junkie, Gwo Burne, he'll be better off running a Kedai Gambar for like-minded voyeurs.

Ok, what triggered this mayhem post PRU12?

Many factors.

Suffice to say that the pandemonium was fueled by the intoxicating first taste of power by the perpetual underdogs who suddenly rode the crest of the political tsunami induced by instigators leveraging on the rakyat’s total abhorrence of Pak Lah’s weak, uninspired and incompetent rule. But the single biggest divisive factor was the silly moves by Anwar Ibrahim in his obsessive quest to be the Perdana Menteri at all cost.

What is wrong with Brother Anwar anyway? Why this wholesale sellout of his Malay Muslim credentials just to scrape some support from the lunatic, extremist fringe of our society? And to add some comic relief to this sad picture, these anti-Malay lunatics actually think they are the “mainstream” -- oblivious to the reality of Malaysiana beyond their comfortable suburban habitats. These anti-Malays, inspired by the paranoiac fantasies of malignant narcissist Haris Ibrahim and his zealotrous disciples, now have the audacity to proclaim themselves as the Anak Bangsa Malaysia. Yeah, the Anak Bangsa Malaysia who will fight on the streets to uphold Kwangtung and Tamil Nadu lingua-cultural traits via the menace of the SRJK(C)s and SRJK(T)s and who themselves cannot and will not speak Bahasa Malaysia, let alone partake in or understand the Adat and Budaya of the necessary Orang Melayu backbone that would validate this Anak Bangsa Malaysia in the first place. I pray for these confused, pathetic souls.

So off goes Brother Anwar to join the noisy demos of the Hindraf racist buffoons; marching arm-in-arm with the Dong Jiao Zong subversives; and to instigate and irritate and concoct crisis after crisis after crisis by bringing to disrepute every single institution of Malaysian nationhood, including the democratic process and the position of our Raja-Raja Melayu. Yup, the gullible political novices among the suddenly-empowered non-Malay populace actually bought Brother Anwar’s deceptions – hook, line and sinker … and a kitchen sink or two. Veteran Anwaristas and Reformasi old hands chuckled at their teh tarik haunts as these RPK Junkies and Haris Zealots wasted tons of candles (and stupidly spewed CO2 to add to Global Warming) in their revelry over the sweet-sounding political fantasies wafting from the puckered lips of Brother Anwar. This opportunist charlatan led the non-Bahasa Malaysia speaking self-proclaimed Anak Bangsa Malaysia on their shuffle up the Yellow Brick Road to an UMNO-less Malaysian political utopia that was to emerge on 916. It was indeed a Mo Far Kor Moment to cherish, a kind of Malaysian Woodstock, an aberrative lovefest of rejoicing, hugging, burning of more CO2-spewing candles ……… podaaah!

Mana ada? Lu ingat “Malaysian Politics” is a Cartoon Network production ka? Living life in the make believe?

Anyway, 916 came and went.

Then another date.

Then another date.

Then another date.

Then ano ........ zzzzzzzzzz

Yup, even my Sang Harimau fell asleep .........

The nation was in suspended animation as Anwar plays out his drama to the detriment of 28 million people. Expect more theatrics from Brother Anwar, a man I used to support and admire but now reduced to a political scavenger eating out of the paws of DAP, Hindraf, Dong Jiao Gong and like-minded subversive, cancerous fringe of Mainstream Malaysiana.

Now, talking about Brother Anwar's lompat parti shenadigans, how can we forget the kejar-kejar to Taiwan comedy. Come on lah, if the political fate of our country was really dependent on the persuasive powers of Tian Chua and Elizabeth Wong plus Saifuddin Nasution, then that will mark the end of Malaysian Civilization as we know it! I laughed then and I laugh even louder now. Who in their right frame of mind would believe that 41 well-fed Barisan MPs would fall for the Tian Chua-Eli Wong seduction opera? Don’t look at me but the people who got seduced in Taipei was definitely NOT the BN vacationers!

Many folks have asked for my thoughts on the Perak Fiasco. Much has already been said and KijangMas is not keen to add to the pile. Suffice to say that this impasse is not going to be solved easily as long as the main actors relentlessly push the limits of the constitution at state and federal levels into the realms of terra incoqnita. But perhaps this is just what we all need. Test the robustness of our constitution that had gathered dust for over a half century. Get it out in the open. Let the rakyat see what desperate men and women are capable of doing -- on BOTH sides of the political divide. Oh, as in other terra incoqnita situations, don’t complain if surprises sprang from the dark abyss of the Neverland.

What about the Rakyat?

The rakyat, of course, will have a say as long as we subscribe to the ideals of democracy. Perakians must ultimately decide whether they want stability, where everyone can cari makan peacefully within our age old unwritten social norms OR anarchy, where every single institution of governance, from the political process to the civil service to law enforcement to the judiciary all the way to the Sultan himself are brought into disrepute.

Who gains and loses from all these? Nobody gains. Everyone has already lost.

Lessons learned?

Too many to expound here. Suffice to say that the Nizar Jamaluddin administration controlled by the NgehNga puppeteers was untenable due to its prickly, divisive agenda and marginalisation of the Malays, which form a 54% majority in the state.






From Day 1, the DAP-controlled Pakatan government acted like a one-term administration, grabbing whatever it could for its core constituents before its Cinderella clock struck midnight in PRU13. It so happened that UMNO/BN used the same lompat parti tactic touted by Anwar Ibrahim to hit back decisively, took the old clock and threw in another clock that struck midnight immediately, not in 3-4 years. Those shiny new Camrys morphed into pumpkins and it was game over long before the Pakatan gang had their bizarre make-believe State Assembly sitting under the shade tree.

Nizar and his Ngeh-Nga puppeteers forgot that Perak Darul Ridzuan is a Negeri Melayu di bawah Raja Melayu Berdaulat, a sovereign Malay state that forms part of the Federation of Malaysia. The Sultan is supreme. Oh, please lah don’t lecture me on your Ketuanan Rakyat fantasy. In the Malay socio-political realm, the Raja and the Rakyat are one and the same. To think that a PAS boneka controlled by the DAP dalangs could wedge himself between this unitary concept of “Kerajaan” is absurd. Listen you treasonous subversives, if your Raja has no confidence in your gang, for whatever reason, then too bad. You go. You git.

Say out loud the word “Kerajaan.” What’s the root word? Yes, “Raja.” What does this conjure? Yes, the Perak government is “of the Raja” (Ke-Raja-An) in a Kesultanan, the royal administration of a Kingdom. Who’s at the apex of this Kerajaan of the Kesultanan? Nizar? NgehNga? DAP? PAS? UMNO? PKR? Sivakumar?

It’s the Sultan, of course.

What happens when the Sultan has no more confidence (as promulgated in specific constitutional provisions) in a person to lead his Rakyat as the Menteri Besar of his Kingdom?

The out-of-favour person needs to take a hike. And don’t look back. Habis. Tamat kisah. That’s the way in any Negeri Melayu Beraja Berdaulat throughout the ages. And in recent times, Trengganu's Idris Jusoh and Perlis' Shahidan Kassim were purged once they were rejected by their respective Sultans. And they left with dignity and honour intact in accordance with our nation's ingrained Adat and Tatatertib Melayu. And the rakyat rejoice under the new Memandas chosen by these Rajas as everyone go back to their daily affairs.

But Perak?

Why must this state be different?

If anything, the Perak case is even more clearcut. Nizar lost support of the majority of the assemblymen. The Sultan used his constitutional prerogative to ask the leader of the new majority group to form a new keRajaan for the keSultanan in a constitutionally prescribed method his majesty thinks is best for his rakyat.

Game over for Nizar and we all go back to our lives.

But no. Nizar plays by different rules set by his DAP puppeteers, bereft of all the intrinsic Adat, Budaya and Tatatertib of the Orang Melayu essence of this Kesultanan Melayu. Under the telunjuk of this NgehNga of Tongkang Mali stock, Nizar chose to inkar the Sultan's perintah and then exhibited a disgusting pantomime of penderhakaan never before seen in a modern-day Malay Sultanate.

And hence we end up in this scrapheap.

Oh sure, these DAP anti-Melayus don’t mind the current derhaka circus. They don’t have even an iota of attachment or pride or respect of the Raja of the very Melayus they have dedicated their lives to oppose. That’s the no brainer part. But for Nizar’s PAS zealots to riot on the streets on behalf of the very anti-Melayus and anti-Muslims that are sworn to obliterate them boggles my mind.

As if all these bedlam are not enough, along came this swarthy V. Sivakumar fellow from Tronoh who threw in another spanner in the wheels of this runaway political trainwreck. This Wild-Eyed Aney could hardly articulate the specific provisions of the Perak constitution to reporters in his lintang pukang rendition of the English language. I’m sure he would have been able to express his points better in Bahasa Malaysia but the prevailing derhaka flavour of Pakatan’s persona, where all symbols of nationhood, including the Raja-Raja Melayu and Bahasa Malaysia must be contemptiously rejected, preempted that option. Yup, these are the very people Haris and his lunatics want to call the Anak Bangsa Malaysia. Incredible.

So what next for Perak?

Well, this is politics, a power game not for the faint hearted or emotional. Who knows what next is possible? Perhaps it boils down to the mantra of the stronger group wins, by hook or by crook.

Of course, ultimately "power" will need to be endorsed by the governed, Tuanku's rakyat, as well. So what is the rakyat's say in all this?

In PRU12, 871,736 Perakians went to the polls. 400,682 (46%) voted BN and 443,354 (51%) voted what became PR while the rest voted for independents or cast spoiled ballots.

Would this figure remain if snap elections were to be held today?

No. I repeat No.

Many non-Malays may remain in the Pakatan bucket after tasting the delights of "power." But many others have had their livelihoods destroyed by the incessant politicking coupled by the economic downturn, with no federal funds in sight when Perak was under Pakatan rule. The Chinese are, of course, practical people and, apart from an incorrigible racist hard core, many others would vote by their stomachs and wallets.

The Malay majority? How many will recast their ballots for PAS and PKR after seeing the policy decisions of the PR government and of course the penderhakaan to the Sultan? Assuming 70-80% of the non-Malays vote Pakatan, how many percent shift in the Malay votes from Pakatan to Barisan do you need to alter the total votes by the 3-5% needed to change the rakyat's verdict?

Who knows for sure. But victory in a snap election is not a done deal for Pakatan as claimed by the NgehNga gang in their bouts of foolish bravado.

I personally would like to see a snap election. Let the Rakyat decide. Lets see the preference this time of the Rakyat from the Malay heartland of Kerian, Larut Matang and Hulu Perak, the life long UMNO supporters who voted PAS and PKR in their contempt of Pak Lah's uninspiring leadership without understanding the repercussions.

If NgehNga and their puppet Nizar think its going to be a walkover this time, they are in for a rude shock indeed.

Now on Karpal Singh.

What else is there to say about this flagbearer of Malaysia’s failed social integration framework.

Sometimes I wonder why we take this senile dinosaur seriously. One day he berates Anwar, even beseeching the perpetual PM-in-Waiting to Bertaubat, to repent for all his political sins; and another day he provokes the other side; and the next day he accused UMNO Youth of sending him bullets, followed by his cussing in parliament.

Getting the SinghKing feeling ...?

This two-wheeled Emperor of Anarchy goes around threatening to sue a Sultan and menacingly utter “don’t push me” and “jangan cabar saya” and “jangan main-main dengan saya” to the whole world in an incessant series of foolish bravado. And when the inevitable happened – this time two bullets and a nasty note – who does he blame? UMNO of course. So what happened to the garang “jangan cabar saya” rhetoric? Nothing of course. It’s just empty rhetoric, just like the rest of his political soul mates. Oh yeah, bila sudah kena acah, apa kata this self-proclaimed Singh is King? Dia kata: "This is a serious threat and I want the Inspector-General of Police to provide protection for me and my family.” Pigidahh. You think the police got nothing better to do ahh? Why protect you? For democracy? For social justice? For nation building? To honour a patriot? To encourage other instigators? Sudah banyak-banyak bikin kacau, cabar orang, kurang ajar sama Melayu, hina Raja ….. lepas tu mintak di lindungi oleh Polis Di-Raja Malaysia!

Bizarre!

I wonder what does the spine-chilling “jangan main-main dengan saya” really mean? Yes, I’m curious because I take threats and counter-threats seriously. Does that mean this Singa can mobilise a bullock cart-load of Bhangra dancers (plus this act) to counter the noisy pendekars of UMNO Youth? See Karpal, again you are challenging people. You are baiting people. You want people to react to your rhetoric. What kind of parliamentarian is this? When was the last time Karpal spoke about the economy, about justice, about anything remotely progressive for the betterment of the rakyat? Its always saya, saya, saya, … “Jangan cabar saya”; “saya di ancam”; “jangan main-main dengan saya”; “saya mau perlindungan polis” … saya, saya, saya. Self-centered selfishness is the hallmark of this insult to democracy.

Oh, about the Celaka remark. Do we all really want to have a swearing competition? “Celaka” is nothing. You want the more definitive ones, the ones that would leave you frothing in the mouth with tail wagging between the wheels of your glorified wheelbarrow? Want to see my compendium of swear words for people like you? Want to hear a sampling of the rich lode of choice taunts and slurs that could be concocted in the context of a two-wheeled, foul mouthed arrogant closet Bhangra dancer?

Nahh, some people are just not worth it; let them live the last vestiges of their wretched life journey of hate, contempt and disdain amidst their own hell-on-earth cesspool of anger and fear.

Anyway, as if Dad’s antics were not enough, along came Gobind Singh Deo, the next-generation provocateur that will haunt us Malaysians for many years to come. This half-past six loyar had the audacity (… no, the utter stupidity) to suggest a directly-elected Prime Minister akin to the American, Indonesian or French system. Come on lah, we adopt the Westminster System lah Baii, where the Prime Minister is picked by the Head of State, the Duli Yang Maha Mulia Sri Paduka Baginda Yang Di-Pertuan Agong, from among members of the Dewan Rakyat that his majesty feels has the support of the majority of the Dewan.

What kind of cheap stunt is this?

See people, instigation and more instigation.

Of course, assuming this Karpal junior is not as stupid as he looks (the jury’s still out on that), then he is just being mischievious, a back-door way to hina the institution of the Kebawah Duli-Duli Yang Maha Mulia Raja-Raja Melayu by pushing for the preemption of the role of the Malay rulers (as Malaysia’s rotating Head of State) in the selection of the Perdana Menteri as promulgated in the constitution. Is this the type of parliamentarian we need? The ones who swore to uphold the constitution and undivided loyalty to the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong?

One more thing about the Pakatan people that makes me sick -- they just cannot and will not take responsibility for anything. Every misdeed, every self-destructing action, every self-incriminating excess are thrown into the all-purpose industrial strength “UMNO/BN fitnah bucket.” Every self-induced malady would be attributed to the elaborate, sophisticated political machinations of UMNO, the very people they dismissed as stupid, out-of-touch, lazy tongkat-dependent Malays on the verge of extinction on their own land.

Astonishing.

- You send your personal vehicle for servicing on tax payers’ money and gets investigated by the MACC, what do you do? Blame it on the all-purpose “UMNO/BN fitnah bucket.”

- You buy 46 cows on Selangor government-related company funds (yeah, I know, via a complex web of friendly partner and associated companies) and korban them for your parliamentary constituency not in Selangor but in KL, you get busted, and again you blame the all-purpose “UMNO/BN fitnah bucket.” In the meantime, your stuttering and bumbling team of anti-Malay racist greenhorns, UMNO rejects and long-lost ulamaks is fast transforming the nation's industral powerhouse into a banana statelet before our very eyes. Just look at the state of neglect permeating this formerly Golden State, in places like Rawang, Kajang, Ampang: potholes got bigger; roadside lalangs uncut; streetlights gone dead; vandalism, neglect and pilferage galore; and state employees gone rogue. Where are the election promises? What happened to the governance and efficiency? The Selangor Rakyat has gotten sick of silly "corporate moves" over their tanah, air, longkang and elektrik piled on the debacle over lembu korbans and kandang babis.

- You committed bigamy, couldn’t take the heat and left town and your Bukit Selambau constituents in a lurch, and yet again your party blame it on the all-purpose “UMNO/BN fitnah bucket.”

- You satiate your physiologic need with a purportedly married toyboy (and who knows who else) and have your tidur kangkang picture splashed in the blogosphere in an ugly lover’s spat, you cry wolf and .... yup, blame it on the all-purpose “UMNO/BN fitnah Bucket”!

Yes, UMNO/BN is somehow to blame in Eli Wong’s gory bedroom misadventure. You people have the audacity to smear others just to preserve your own skins, no matter the repercussions to the nation. THIS is what makes me sick. And Brother Anwar makes a political martyr out of Eli Wong. A martyr and a “victim.”

Victim?

For Tuhan’s sake, do you know who the real victim is? Eli Wong? This elusive Hilmi Malek?

No.

If this Hilmi fella is married as reported in the media, then the real victim is his wife lah stupid! Yes, Hilmi’s wife is the real victim here. Don’t you think that the hijab-clad PKR and PAS kakaks and makciks that huddled behind and listened to Eli Wong’s unabashed affirmation of her sexuality in her press conference should be comforting Hilmi's wife instead? Bizarre. If their husbands do the same thing to them, would they appreciate the wholehearted support given by political apparatchiks like them to the randy "other woman" ?

Sick!

Gwo Burne, more Mo Far Kor please …..

I detest people who don’t take responsibility for their own misadventures. Politicians who incessantly blame others are NOT leadership material. And true to form, these Pakatan people has no semblance of governance in any of the five states, with near-anarchy in at least two. Forget the Negeris, Pakatan couldn’t even govern itself. And imagine our Negara di tadbir by these people?

But would the Barisan make any difference? Again, look at the motley crew of characters led (or rather un-led) by a clueless Pak Lah, the Prime Minister who had long ago lost the plot. What about Najib Razak? Can he exorcist the disastrous lemah, lembik, kaku persona of Pak Lah from the Prime Ministership? Does he has what it takes to reenergise UMNO and whip up the Barisan into a cohesive political force able to conclusively sweep the bumbling Pakatan from the corridors of power come PRU13? Yes? No? Or has he morphed into another Pak Lah, a distracted weakling further debilitated by the bizarre cast of infighting, unelectable long-written off characters hollowing-out UMNO and Barisan from within?

What can we the Rakyat do?

Should the rakyat allow these characters on both sides of the political divide to continue with their antics and lead us further into the socio-political and economic abyss?

Where did these characters come from anyway? What is their true agenda? What is their role in the overall picture of nation building and the institution of checks and balances in the Malaysian political process? Where did our political system go wrong to allow such people access to our esteemed political institutions and political processes?

As of now, these collective insult to governance and leadership, not to mention ethics and morality, are leading their contingents of megalomaniacal misfits, opportunists, confidence tricksters and outright perverts in a nation-wrecking demolition derby of unprecedented proportions anywhere on earth.

Maybe when the dust settles, we may welcome some sort of assertive rule by a nationalist leader who will reset the trajectory of our nation. One thing is certain, this country cannot sustain this present state of chaos and semi-anarchy much longer.

Social implosion is not good for health and the pursuit of happiness.

What is the end game? You tell me. But the rakyat will bear the brunt of the cost -- the social and economic cost -- for many years to come.

Those in power must focus on administering the 13 states and the nation as mandated by the people and affirmed by the respective rulers and the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong.

We the Rakyat demand a stop to this bizarre politicking. The circus must end NOW.

Let’s go back to work and improve our livelihoods and communities in these challenging times.
