God’s peace be with you.
I read with interest the report on Free Malaysia Today on things you said in relation to your attendance at the Malay Dignity Congress, and some advice you extended to Malays, generally.
In another FMT report, you are reported to have “dismissed criticisms that the Malay Dignity Congress is racist, saying there were no attacks on the Chinese and Indians”.
Were you in the Congress hall when Zainal Kling, the main organiser, delivered his speech?
If you did not hear what Zainal said, let me reproduce here what another report in FMT credits him saying.
“He said Malaysia is for Malays just as Thailand is for the Thais, China for the Chinese, and India for the Indians”.
What was Zainal saying to the Chinese, the Indians and every non-Malay who is Malaysian?
What was he saying to the Sabahans and Sarawakians?
Thank you, we will take your wealth, but this is not your nation?
You do not belong here?
You do not see this as attacks on the non-Malays?
You apparently advised the Malays as follows : “I plead with you. Don’t sell your land. We will find ways to get returns on land owned by us. We have ways to help. Landowners can turn their land into capital.”
In this regard, let me tell you my own experience in the early 90’s.
A friend contacted me and asked to meet in the evening as he had a strong money-making opportunity to share with me.
We met that evening, along with several others he had invited.
He opened up maps of land in the Sepang area, that had been earmarked for the intended KLIA.
He had received inside info of the lands in question and the idea was to buy land from owners (yes, Malays), hold and later either sell at a profit or receive compensation when it is compulsorily acquired for the KLIA project.
Who had he received this inside info from?
Government servants, high-ranking and low.
Who were ripping off the Malay folk?
Malays, right?
You also said that “That’s why our dignity is mocked and we are looked down upon.”
The only ones who have mocked the dignity of the Malays are the Malay leaders themselves, who have lied to the Malay masses, misused the NEP to enrich themselves and, when they felt the need to, would play the race card to keep the people divided, to maintain their grip on power, and the nation’s wealth.

As a Malaysian, i love my country. After all these years & for generations, we the non-malays are still being questioned & subject to all kinds of name calling eve though we pay taxes and are law-abiding citizens. Thank you Haris for we have people like you, who helped us expressed our feelings & thoughts. For those racists out there, they could have spend their time making sure their children get a better education & one generation better so that they can help build the country.

Instead of cleaning up the shit from the previous goverent and make progress for the country and nation, Malaysi is on a REGRESSION mode and the government seem very proud of it!!
If Lee Kuan Yew had been the leader of Malaysia, may have been one of the most wealthiest country around!!
Look at what he did for Singapore – infrastructure, town planning for every single suburb, education, transportation, trade, law, order, justice and equality, peace and harmony, international investor confidence, clean government with much transparency, no corruption, very concrete & stable economy, state reserves, port, airport, airline, housing, roads, life’s basic needs, CPF, etc, etc, etc.
The nation benefited from all the above, to a point, no citizen was deprived!!
You do not hear of any indigenous groups speaking bad of the other, or some brainless comments like “Malaysia for Malays!!”
Did Malaysia progressed to where it is today, because of only the Malays? Sorry to say, it is so very evident, it is the Malays (of course, some non Malays contributed) to the international disgrace of the 1MBD!!
This is the result of having UNEDUCATED & INCOMPETENT fools, holding high positions and safeguarding only their interest for their pockets.
For as.long as this mindset persists, Malaysia will never be able to catch up to the level, Singapore is

Well said sir. There is s something fishy going on with what was said . I think the child was twitched and the grade is being swinged . What is happening in our Malaysia now . During my younger days we don’t discuss on race nor religion . There was no racists attacks but only unity . I think what we should understand is firstly we are all humans . Instead of going forward we are going.nowhere. why all these quotes on race n religion . To me our leaders should be all sent to school of harmony . Even if the normal rakyat keep quiet these leaders stir all types of political problems and worst if all our head who instead of representing all races it’s just vice versa . Our future is a question mark if these do called leaders dont stop all these racial quotes

NICE ARTICLE & THANKS. Every each Malaysians are contributing towards Malaysia growth & why the issue of splitting nation just to win the majority malay votes. In fact all Malaysian must treat equally. Government earning is frm rakyat & all ministers including the PM pls do the best for rakyat & NOT behave like a OWN BOSS

We are in this shit because of the damage done by the PM during his lengthy first term in office. Trying to prove that his is more Malay than the Malays themselves.
