		<description><![CDATA[salam, ni hau ma, vannukam, apa khabar malaysians.

dear respected bloggers/visitors/commentars 

looking at the current political situation right now,I&#039;m about
75&gt;% sure that the same thing like 13th may might happen again.13th macrh 2008,maybe? 

HINDRAF,a new malaysian malaysia slogan aka Bangsa Malaysia, affirmitive discrimination policies by bumiputra-lead government against non-bumis followed by similiar dicsrimination of the majority of malay workers by non-malay private companies,DAP with its racial slurs,PAS with its talibanness and finally an irrelevant,inconsistent flip-flop party,the PKR and its &quot;de fecate&quot; leader anwar the speaking chameleon.

Malaysia is a fragile country, yet it is still surviving since its independence 50 years ago until now.Unlike the United States and Singapore where the dominant race aka the whites and chinese control both political and economic power,the situation in malaysia is quite different;the malays are still holding the political power,and the economic power is still in the hands of the chinese.The indians,in other hand are unable to compete equally with these two giants, and thus are left behind.

In my humble opinion, true multi-racial unity could only be achieved if we can elaminate the identification of any races in malaysia based on their social status,education or wealth.We cannot allow a situation where only one race is enjoying prosperity and wealth while others are just merely watching.In fact,the economic cake of malaysia must be fairly distributed,so nobody feels that he/she is being discriminated and abandoned by his/her own country.Tun Abdul Razak,after the bloody 1969 racial riot had realized about this fact,and thus he implemented NEP in order to correct the imbalances of economic status between poor bumiputra and rich non-bumiputra,only to be spoiled and misused by greedy,oppurtunistic UMNOputras for their own self-enrichment.Curse to this brats for contributing to the failure of NEP and recent racial tensions. 

until all malaysians are truely equal in terms of basic rights,education and wealth,only then the true unity of malaysians as one will become a reality.If not,then don&#039;t mimpilah untuk jadi bangsa malaysia.

I will always pray to the god that there will be no more racial clashes in this country. 

happy voting &amp; undilah..............rahsia]]></description>

Yes. I have the info. The bank was asked by Bank Negara over its racially based decision. Unable to explain why only Malays not given bonuses, it was obliged to finally give bonus due to Malay staff.

My point is very simple. Racial prejudice affects everybody. Malays are also affected. I am all for elimination of these kind of attitudes.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Kamarul.

Many thanks for your response. My point is very simple. May 13 took place more than 3 decades ago. Everybody then gave their views,some skewed and some objectives.

The views are already known. For people on the streetslike my father who witnessed the madness, May 13 was a manifastation of unbridled freedom. It was the manifastation of how anger can destroy.

As for the Govt, it takes a wise move not to put the blme on either Malays of Chinese although there are elements within these 2 communities who were guity then. To the world( meaning Western Press), definitely the guilty party must be Malay or UMNO.

Please tell me why Royal Commission is required now? What facts that are not known now? Have you not asked living witnesses on the tragedy. What was it that you are not satisfied with all the explanation given.

The truth is that for some people, a conclusion had already been made. Therefore, no amount of explanation is enough. You said that &quot;its turning into a malignant tumour...&quot;. I am not so sure of that. Did Malaysian Govt everyday chastise a particular community over this tragedy. Are people of your own rac talk about May 13 everyday, blaming Chinese everyday in their conversation. Were many Chinese detained simply because of a tragedy that took place more than 36 years ago. 

Was DAP banned because of the tragedy. Are the Chinese banned from economic activities because of May 13. 

And what is it with keris that you ( or some Chinese are so afraid of). Keris is a symbol of sovereignty, strenght, pride and dignity. What is wrong with reemphasizing these values. Did Hishamuddin declare war on Chinese by kissing a keris.

And watch your words. You said &quot; ...Keris keramat with Chinese blood&quot;. What is that supposed to mean. Why are you twisting the fact, young man. Did he say or imply that he &quot;wants to bath the keris with Chinese blood&quot;. No. So, why conclude something that everybody knows is not the truth.

They say it takes two to tango. The way you talk imply that UMNO is so bad. Really? And why still Chinese politicians can win in Malay majority areas. You know places like Kulim, Lunas,Sungai Siput, Gunung Semanggol. 

And did UMNO leaders played to the gallery when a rude boy, Namawee insulted Islam, mocking Muslim ladies wearing tudung , making fun with azan. Why don&#039;t you register the unhappiness of the Malays to your Chinese friends, making them realize that they also must play their part on unity.

Why is it that Malays or UMNO always blamed on racial prejudice. Are you nbot aware on how Malays are treated in some private sectors. 

Contrary on what you said, everybody can talk in Malaysia. What UMNO and Malays( except people like you) oppose are simply people who blame Malays ONLy on this tragedy. You know, people like Kua. His conclusion is simple. It is UMNO ( read Malays) who plotted the tragedy.

You said &quot;... to place itself as a heroic defender of Malays&quot;. The truth is that vast majority of humble Malays ( unfortunately not vocal ) see UMNO that way. They consider UMNO as their defender. That is the reason why vast majority of Malay voted for UMNO in last election.

Their reason is simple and practical. UMNO, despites its warts and all does deliver. Its record is proven. You said &#039;...laundering support from far right voters&quot;. Wow, so much patronising words. Laundering. Wow. Begitu hina orang Melayu pada pandangan anda.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@Shamsul: I agree with Vic. By not discussing on the problem in a proper manner does nothing good for healing. believe me its not healing, its getting worse, its turning into a malignant tumor, a silent killer right in the heart of our society. can u pls ask those chinese within my age range? they feeled sidelined, dicriminated etc...

and im asking who didnt make this things worse? even UMNO, with its virtuous youth chief violently showing off to bath his so called keris keramat with chinese blood. and who didnt watch that? Hes the education minister man, being televised to the whole nation, what will these chinese youngers, kids will think? For God&#039;s sake, the wound will heal?

By keeping tight lips, UMNO continues to benefit by making continuous provocations against racial sentiments among malays, chinese and also indians. to place itself as a heroic defender of malays, laundering support from far-right voters

and while it had benefited alot by keeping the tight lips, and making sure everybody else donot talk about it. it had turned out to be the most dangerous silent killer right in the heart of our society. by continuing to do so, im sure another one will follow sooner rather than later...]]></description>
