I don’t want to be prime minister for only a particular section of the community. I’m prime minister for all Malaysians…” – Najib

You forgot to mention that he is only the P.M. for all when it the GE is around the corner, after the GE he will too busy to remember what he has said. Therefore not to taken for a fool again, just remember the people have been taken for fools for the last 55 years and to show these scumbags and parasites from Umno we have not forgotten the true actions of these morons. Just vote them out of Putrajaya and please don’t forget to have them indicted for the abuses and atrocities they committed !

What Najib meant was he wants to be the PM for all Malaysians until the 13th GE is over; just like Mamak Kutty who pretended to be agreeable to the appeals of “Suqiu” just prior to the 1999 GE to get Chinese support.
After Bankrupt Nasional was returned to power with the support of Chinese voters, the scumbag labelled “Suqiu” committee members as communists and extremists !
Najib you can keep on dreaming about Chinese support this time around !
Cheat the Chinese once , shame on you .
Get cheated twice, it will be shame on the Chinese.

Hehehe, this reminds reminds me of those good old days when charlatans and snake oil sellers were allowed to sel their wares at the road side and at the street corner. Of course this latest case does not involve the beating of drus and gongs. The painful truth is that there are still silly ones who are prepared to listen and buy the snake oil from this snake charmer.

When it comes to race & religion, it’s almost impossible to be a PM for all. Judging from the perspective one would see things from, it’s a mission impossible to satisfy every ethnic group & religions we have in Malaysia. The Muslims will want something, The Christians will want something, The Buddhists will want something, The Hindus will want something & the list goes on….
Commonly the Muslims have very contradicting views especially with the Christians & this often leads to displeasure among this two said parties. Malaysia is an Islamic country & by giving in too much to the request from Christian groups will naturally cause displeasures from the Muslims & vice-versa. So far, it’s obvious to see NAJIB had been trying very hard to achieve this knowing very well it’s near impossible but at least he’s not giving up. This is indeed a good sign & trust me……Pakatan Rakyat fanatics will start bombing me upon reading it but I’m sure they would agree with me should they use their eyes to see, ears to listen & legs to stand on the neutral side.
Nobody can be a PM for all Malaysians. Even if there is…it’s just a mere saying. Not NAJIB, not ANWAR IBRAHIM, not Nik Aziz & not even Kit Siang would be able to do this. The job/task for a PM is not to unite different ethnic groups but it’s the duty of the citizens to do so. All we need is a fair share of understanding towards the sensitivity of each different race & religion & some fair share to compromise and accommodate each others existence would be the ideal recipe to racial harmony in this beautiful country.
It’s a sad thing to see religion creeping into politics. Churches are speaking & preaching about politics, while, Mosques & surau are used to execute political platforms. This is a sad sight indeed. We might be able to accept ANTI UMNO but would you think the country achieve its’ objective even if UMNO had been depleted??? We might be a hardcore supporter of PAKATAN RAKYAT but what make us so sure PAKATAN RAKYAT will steer the country to greater heights & a more harmonious Malaysia when no one is able to see the future??? Let us all get real…..politics is dirty. Politics are only meant for dirty cheaters of whom crave to cheat ‘the rakyat’ for the simple sake for self gained of power, status & money. BARISAN politicians does this & PAKATAN politicians does this. The difference is that both of these divide does it differently. However, the similarities they often share is that they often pollute our minds with intimidations, fears, lies, rumours, emotional provocations as to garner support becos’ Malaysians generally are a naive lot of whom seldom use their brains to evaluate the authenticity & logic behind something they are being told *sigh*.
Malaysia will be what we see today in another 10 years time & this is regardless whether there would be a change of Govt or not because the ruling party lacks enough weight to rule the country efficiently, while, the opposition party lacks the wisdom, experience & sincerity to take over Putrajaya. It’ll end up as a 2 system political scenario of which will only cause further jam breakings, implementation obstructions & so on. To short say, Malaysia is now & will be on time freeze. The country will not go up but neither will it go down….it just get frozen without progression nor depreciation. Hard fact to admit but it’s real.

KY,
So, if nobody can do anything and/or nothing is going to change, we might as well do nothing and just let BN continue the rape and pillage, right?
Personally, I don’t think GE13 is about whether BN loses or whether PR wins. It is more important that the rakyat realises it does have power and that it can exercise that power.
Once those politicians, be they BN or PR, get slapped around a few times at the ballot box, they’ll learn how to behave.

Malaysia is an Islamic country and nobody can be the PM for all Malaysians, you say? You must have grown up during the Mahathir’s era, where all decency of good governance have been systematically obliterated; where the laws have become the exceptions rather than the rules.
A sure sign of a failing democracy in any country is the deterioration of the very principles on
which it was founded. Do you really know of the real history and how this country was founded? There are two ways that you can get fooled…..one is to believe what isn’t so; the other is to refuse to believe what is so. Which one are you?

Does anyone still remember what Matthias Chang, then political secretary to the Devil we know, did in August 2001 in the aftermath of the Suqiu appeal?
Google “mahathir chinese tea ceremony” and refresh your memories…
Matthias somehow found enough rewaosn to organised a grand tea ceremony at which a number of Chinese community leaders lined up to offer tribute (cups of tea) to Mahathir. Complete with fancy costumes and pigtails. To this day, I still am shocked that anyone, especially someone of Chinese descent could have asked the leaders toi effectively kow-tow to Mahathir.
Malayisakini report on the ceremony is available at:
Tea ceremony for Dr M comes under fire

And this was the Straits Times of Singapore’s report on the matter:
30th August 2001
Chinese groups pledge support to Mahathir
Over 2,000 Chinese from different groups attend a special ceremony to
show the community’s backing for him
By Leslie Lau
IN KUALA LUMPUR
WITH a cup of steaming Oolong tea, 2,000 members of Chinese clans,
guilds and merchant associations showed their continued support for
Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad yesterday.
An elderly representative from one of the groups offered the tea to
him at a special ceremony to show the community’s support and respect
for him.
They also paid homage to the Premier, who is marking his 20 years in
office, and to commemorate the country’s Independence Day celebrations
tomorrow.
Dr Mahathir and his wife Dr Siti Hasmah Ali were proclaimed the father
and mother of modern Malaysia by the groups who wanted to show that
support for the Prime Minister was still strong among the community.
But while the Premier expressed his gratitude for the honour paid to
him with the tea ceremony yesterday, some of the country’s major
Chinese groups were conspicuous in their absence.
There were no representatives from the Federation of Chinese
Associations or from the chambers of commerce.
These two organisations are considered the leading umbrella groups for
the thousands of Chinese associations in the country.
But members of these two organisations have of late not been happy
with the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN), especially with the Malaysian
Chinese Association’s (MCA) takeover of the Nanyang Siang Pau
newspaper group.
Despite their absence, the gathering yesterday went on smoothly and
observers say it was designed to ensure that the support for Dr
Mahathir from the community remained strong.
Dr Mahathir’s message to the Chinese was clear. He told them the
country was a partnership between all the races, distinguishing the BN
from the fundamentalist Parti Islam, which advocates the creation of
an Islamic state.
‘We work together, we play together and we live together. This is our
country and our loyalty is towards a peaceful, developed Malaysia,’ he
said.
He said the tea ceremony was a great honour for him and he understood
the significance of drinking the tea.
‘I have never been given such an honour before by the Chinese and this
shows the Chinese are loyal to this country,’ he said.

Ky…. you are not being thoughtful.
If Najib as PM had shared the task of promoting unity with the Rakyat seriously and sincerely, he would not have to be begging for votes, neither would he need to offer to buy their votes,using slogans like “You help me, I help you.” and be laughed at constantly.
That is why the Rakyat feel cheated and are angry, that is one of the reasons why they want to, DN the BN.
You also forget that in the future, there will be an informed and intelligent Rakyat whose voice will HAVE to be heard, if any Government hopes to survive more than its five year term.

Let see if anyone recognises these words and its similarities to us:
The XXXXXXX had a rambunctious press but it did not check corruption. Individual pressmen could be bought, as could many judges. Something had gone seriously wrong. XXXXXXX professionals whom we recruited to work in Singapore are as good as our own. Indeed, their architects, artists, and musicians are more artistic and creative than ours…
“The difference lies in the culture of the XXXXXXX people. It is a soft, forgiving culture. Only in the XXXXXX could a leader like XXXXXXXX, who pillaged his country for over twenty years, still be considered for a national hero. Insignificant amounts of the loot have been recovered, yet his wife and children were allowed to return and engage in politics.
Recognise the pattern?

As long as we accept that there is a majority race in Malaysia and their contentment is paramount to the very harmony of this country as well as their faith & beliefs should not be compromised and/or purposely challenged, then everyone is talking logic. However If anyone has a different idea and/or opinion than it would definitely become a recipe to disaster.
Sorry, but the happiness of the majority cannot be paramount. It has to be the general well-being of all that is paramount.
If we do prioritise, then it the upliftment of the long marginalised that has to be paramount

Che,
By your logic, there is no need for the Han Chinese in China to worry about how the Tibetans or Uighars feel, there is no need for the Burmese in Burma to care about the Rohingas, there is no need for the Anglo-Saxons in the UK to bother about the Pakistanis and Indians, etc.

Anak Bangsa, pardon the ambiguity in my earlier statement but wish to clarify that by no means it should read or allude that the majority should discard the minority’s interest and/or well being because it will negate my advocacy of social equilibrium. I think respect is the key hence the minority shouldn’t purposely inflict any action that can greatly ridicule’s the unity of majority especially when it comes to faith. I’ve never recalled other race or faith in Malaysia are utterly robbed from their freedom, unless i’ve been living in utter isolation that cause my ignorance, for that i’m sorry.

Che,
If you are not going to disregard the minority races in your proposed model, why bother considering splitting a nation along racial lines in the first place?
To add insult to injury, the proposed model includes the religious factor!! So, if my imaginary friend is more powerful than your imaginary friend, my happiness is more important than your happiness? Good grief! The Cult of the Pink Unicorn may have something to say to that!!
I am not quite sure what you mean by “utterly” robbing a race or faith of freedom in Malaysia but the very fact that the continual demarcation along racial an religious gronds trouble me greatly.
If needs be, allow me to just provide one example of freedom which is lost to some of my fellow Malaysians – the freedom of religious belief. Tell me how any Malaysian can be an atheist without incurring the wrath of various religious zealots.

I respect your opinion since all of us are entitled to it . But strongly believe that rightly or wrongly that a set of people from the same racial background and faith which accounted as the majority in a plural society plays a paramount role in balancing the social equilibrium within that society. Any adversity within such majority could easily affect the rest of the people within the same community. Be it BN or PR as long as the majority of the people are content (wish to clarify that the operative word is content and not happy or on the very extreme ecstatic),i’m pretty convinced all is well.

Che,
There is no need to respect my opinion when the question of my racial makeup is more important.
Go ask a Rohinga in Burma what the value of his opinion is. That is the end result of what you want Malaysians to agree to.
No more race politics, my dear Che. No more using religion to divide us. We are sick and tired of it!!! Cukup, lah!!!
It is, perhaps, time to try and develop a sense of nationalism where love of country is paramount.

December 29, 2012
Anak Bangsa, my respect is genuine because my mother thought me to be thoughtful of others. Your reference of Rohingya is a sheer testimony of social imbalance where the majority utterly discard the interest of the minority and i’m in total disagreement with such notion. Rightly or wrongly race & religion is ingrained in each of us and the preference of such is rather intrinsic in its sense of words. To eliminate such intrinsic value in an average Malaysian is an evolution on its own and the success of it would be a remote cause alltogether. Hence the annihilation of race and/or religion-centric politics is a tall-order and long-haul in nature. What we really need is an effective inculcation strategy for every Malaysian to respect each other and to uphold the very hormany of our social equilibrium. Selfless and Respect are the key in achieving it.

Che,
Please do not think I am being rude here.
Firstly, I am going to wrap up the discussion here. You are quite welcomed to comment in other articles and where appropriate, I will be happy to engage you.
Secondly, your repeated use of the phrase “rightly or wrongly” sounds weasly to me. Sometimes, one HAS to make a stand simply as a human being. For example, if someone made the statement, “rightly or wrongly, killing an innocent child on the basis of race is what some people do”, it’s my opinion that such a statement is so f*&ked that I will not even try to explain it.
Thirdly, save up all your respect for your country, Malaysia, first. 🙂
