My reply,
You are the greatest joker on earth. What a contradiction. On one hand you claim that Pakatan are against Malays rights. On the other hand you claim that they are actually supportive of Malays rights but with different motives. Even if they do then what is wrong with it? The non-Malays are happy and the Malays are being helped.

1. When the 5th PM took over, it became obvious he was incompetent and unable to govern the country and grow its economy. He was seen as weak by the Malays as well as by the Chinese and Indians. He flipped-flopped, making decisions and policies and reversing them, arresting opposition members under the ISA and then releasing them shortly after, claiming that he wanted to protect them.
My Reply
When the 5th PM took over it became so obvious he was incompetent because he had a big huge burden of problems, liabilities and shits left by the 4th PM after his 22 years of rule . Economy was so bad and our country was in billions of deficit and debt thanks to our great 4th PM for all his mega project and corruption during his administration. ISA is an inhuman act that our 4th PM never removed even after 22 years in charge of the country and he even once used it as his political tool when he launched Operasi Lalang.

2. Extremists among the Chinese and Indians felt they could safely challenge the Government, particularly over racial issues. They demanded that provisions in the Constitution favouring the Malays and the NEP quotas be removed. Even Barisan Nasional partners took up the call.
My reply ,
Reformist among Chinese and Indians felt that UMNO did not practice and uphold the true definition and meaning of our constitution that is wrongly practiced after the 22 years of rule by our dearest and greatest 4th PM administration and ruler. It had caused so much confusion and misinterpretation among the citizens in the society. Everything that is beneficial for UMNO's Malay agenda and straight away it would be labeled as a right that is protected by the constitution.
NEP had earlier already removed by our great 4th PM during his time. He replaced it with Dasar Pembangunan Negara. According to him NEP had fail to improve and strengthen the Malays. That's why he once claimed that “ Malay Easily Forget“. So in this case I am not sure whether Tun Mahathir had forgotten what he had said and done to the nation?
When Barisan Nasional partners took up the call, it just symbolizes that under our 5th PM the democracy within is so much healthier and brighter compared to your time.
3. Normally UMNO leaders and UMNO generally would take up the defence of the Malays. But Abdullah as UMNO President and PM was silent (elegant silence) causing the other leaders and members of UMNO to become silent also.
Normally UMNO leaders of your time will teach others to use the Malay agenda for their own personal benefit. Normally the UMNO leaders during your time also will be attacking other races in the country to diversify and create racial tension and disharmony within the country.
When during Pak Lah time even if your allegations are true that thoses leader became silent it does not show that they are weak or betrayed the Malays. It just shows that they are getting more mature, gentleman and at the same time following the great value of the Malay culture that is fighting for peace , tolerance , respect and harmony.

4. As the attack against the Malays escalated and UMNO remained silent, the Malay public felt they were being let down by UMNO. Losing faith in UMNO, they began to set up NGOs to take up the challenges by the Chinese and Indian activists.
Politics is so dynamic that the support for a particular organization will switch accordingly to time and situation. We cannot conclude that just because of one general election then we claim that the support of the Malays is lesser towards any organization. If that is so during your time in 22 years the votes and support and Malay is so inconsistent in almost every general election.
So when the Malay vote is less towards UMNO there were no Malay extremist NGO that rose to attack you. That does not mean that you are a great defender of the Malays. There may be no NGO then because that shows how freedom of democracy is so limited during your time. Who dare to go against the great Emperor Dr Mahathir at that time ?

5. Perkasa as an NGO gained the most support because the founder was more vocal and willing to take risk and to rebut the views of the Chinese and Indian extremists.
PERKASA gain support because there is an invisible great hand behind that is so influential in the country behind the NGO and founder. How do you define support? If you are looking at numbers then the Malays in PKR , PAS and UMNO is even more than the membership of PERKASA.
At the same time , those who supported PERKASA are not well educated and professional . Many are simple minded Malays easily being exploited by those willing to take the risk to rebut the views of the Chinese and Indian extremist.
In reality the founder of Perkasa does not rebut as you wrote. Most of the time he takes the opportunity to attack innocenct Chinese and Indian Malaysians brutally.

6. Meanwhile Malay support for UMNO was silently eroding. In the 2008 elections the loss of Malay support for UMNO became evident. Many either abstained or voted for PAS.
The damage under your time is so great and serious that it accumulated to a stage where Malay started to stay away from UMNO during the last general election. You did not pass a good and strong baton to your successor . Instead you should be fully responsible for it and must not point at him in this losing of Malays support issue.
Pak Lah ruled about 5 years. Najib about 3 years. Even both of them added up, their years of administration is still 3 times behind the time that you ruled which was for 22 years. And yet you still failed to improve and strengthen the Malays.
7. Demands were then made for Abdullah to step down. Najib took over and he tried to regain Chinese support by apparently giving in to Chinese demands on several issues. The new UMNO leadership also opted to remain silent and failed to defend the Malay position. Instead of going back to support UMNO, Malays including UMNO members continue to flocked to Perkasa.
My reply ,
When you lost the support from the Chinese, you also created a lot of policies that is beneficial to the Chinese. How many non-Malay millionaires did you create during your time ?
The new UMNO that flocked against PERKASA is the real defender of the Malays when they know PERKASA will bring and lead Malays to nowhere except go to hell.
What is wrong with Najib listening to the Chinese demand? Is he not supposed to be the Prime Minister and leaders for all races? Are we all not Malaysian ?
8. In the 2008 elections, many UMNO and BN candidates won only by small margins even in their strongholds. If in the next election defections by even a small number of supporters in some constituencies can result in a reduction of the Barisan Nasional majority or even cause the BN to lose altogether.
When a wise man like you keep attacking our 4th PM harshly and vocally how do you not to expect the citizen to lose faith in him ?
When UMNO is divided into 2 group- one indirectly supporting you and one supporting Pak Lah. How would you not to expect a split and internal sabotage during the election ?
When the poor Indian had been marginalized for 22 years under your time and it just so happen they can no longer stand the precedent system that was set by you, they came out and protested against BN.
How can you not expect decreasing of the support from all races directly or indirectly due to your fault and weakness ?
9. Because of the poor handling of the Perak crisis, the Chinese who considered the Pakatan Government of Perak as a Chinese Government, swore not to support BN anymore.
This is a democratic country, at a time when the support of the Chinese is getting lesser. We cannot claim and conclude that the entire Chinese community is against BN. Not all swore not to support BN anymore.
Part of the crisis in Perak is also due to you. Remember how you are one of those great brave leaders who once tabled a motion in Parliament that the Sultan is not immune to everything? Because of you, their decision can also be challenged.

10. The situation of UMNO and BN looked bleak. They have not regained the Malay support lost in the 2008 elections and they face the prospect of the Chinese not supporting the Barisan Nasional in the 13th General Elections. Striving to regain Chinese support is not enough. They must also regain Malay support.
My reply ,
In the last few small general election had shown that the support of Malays had slightly gone back to UMNO.
So in this case can we conclude that we no longer need an NGO like PERKASA to spoil and invade the Malays anymore?
Tun Mahathir wrote,
11. UMNO may think that all the Malays are supportive of the party. But UMNO cannot be sure of that. Their silence before the 2008 Election was deceptive. We now know that many supported the opposition. Can UMNO disregard or antagonise any Malay group? I think it would be dangerous to do so.
My reply,
Yes. UMNO can and UMNO must antagonize and disregard any Malay group that will disunite the country and also disunite the Malays in the country.
My analogy is simple. A drug will always be a drug. People may say drugs are created for medication like how PERKASA is created to protect the Malays. But when the drugs are being abuse and misuse then the entire story will be different.
So a death penalty should be given to drugs dealer and drugs addict. No compromise in this issue no matter what reason you may give.
Tun Mahathir wrote ,
12. Perkasa has not indicated that it is against BN and UMNO. In fact it has hinted that it is for UMNO. Looking at the strength of Malay support for Perkasa antagonising them would not be to the benefit of the Barisan Nasional or UMNO.
If PERKASA is for UMNO and truly sincerely, then they should help and advice or guide or even lead UMNO from the backdoor. Openly attacking UMNO will not bring any good to UMNO.
I am just wondering when PERKASA will pick on Khairy. Is this actually part of your personal interest against him all this while ?
Are you not happy that your great son lost to him for that particular position of Umno Youth Chief? Why should Khairy step down ? Is it to give way to your son ? I am not accusing here but just randomly asking.

13. Perkasa is accused of being racist and should be rejected on that ground. Is Perkasa racist? If anyone cares to study the statement by Perkasa he will not fail to note that it has confined itself to rebutting allegations that the non-Malays have been discriminated against, that the Malays need to retain their present position. If it is really racist then it would be demanding the abolition of the special treatment of the Chinese and Indians in Malaysia. This it has not done except when defending the Malay position.
My reply ,
Can we so easily came to an answer that any individual or group is not racist just because this group or individual did not ask for the removal of the rights of the non-Malay in the country?
If that is so then 99% of the Chinese and Indians never ask Malays rights to be removed.
At the same time it can also be that the non-Malay rights is already taken away without even being remove literally from the constitution. That is why perhaps PERKASA did not ask for non-Malay rights to be removed. I am not coming into a conclusion. I am just pointing out some possibilities over here.
14. It is illogical to expect that when the Chinese and Indian activists demand for the removal of policies and schemes to help the Malays, they, the Malays should remain silent or to agree. Surely the natural thing for them to do is to defend themselves. If their anointed protector, UMNO, refuses for whatever reason to voice disagreement against the demands of the Chinese and Indians, then the beleaguered Malays will have to find a champion elsewhere.
The non-Malays mostly are only fighting for their rights and against mistreatment. Is this an accusation if we were to say that they are asking for the removal of policies and schemes to help the Malays?
Even all the needy and poor Malays already started to ask for their rights to be implemented , practiced and given. Not only to certain chosen Malays.
15. They could form a political party and undermine UMNO. But they did not. The Malays are already fragmented. And so they formed NGOs instead which leaves them with the option to support or not to support UMNO and the Barisan Nasional.
They knew even if they were to form a political party they will never gain over the dominance of the support of Malays for PAS and UMNO.
PERKASA is only to cater to certain small group of Malays in the country. And please do not tell us it represents the entire voice and heart of the entire community.
16. True there are a few Malays in Pakatan who seem to agree and support demands to do away with the affirmative action in favour of the Malays. But they are doing this simply to fish for Chinese support for their parties.
My reply ,
You are the greatest joker on earth. What a contradiction. On one hand you claim that they are against Malays rights. On the other hand you claim that they are actually supportive of Malays rights but with different motives. Even if they do then what is wrong with it? The non-Malays are happy and the Malays are being helped.
17. Whatever may be the feelings of UMNO, I have decided that the NGOs have a big enough following which could do damage to UMNO and the BN in the next election if they want to. Accordingly I have decided to stay close with Perkasa especially and to ensure that it does not swing over to the opposition. I would like to ensure that Perkasa supports the Barisan Nasional in the next election.
My reply ,
You are trying to say indirectly you have the control and authority over PERKASA?
18. Does this make me a racist? I had at one time the opportunity and power to be a real Malay racist. But I won elections with strong non-Malay support. In fact in1999 it was Chinese support which gave me my 2/3 majority.
My reply ,
Your answer is so simple. As long as you got support from the Chinese then you are not racist. If that is so, then Pakatan Rakyat is not racist as well because now they are having the same amount of support that you got from the Chinese!
Why not tell us that you lost the vote of the Chinese in your area to PAS during your time? Can we not say that you are racist then, just based on your simple assumption?
Tun Mahathir wrote ,
19. I was obviously not regarded as a racist then (except of course by the DAP). So why am I regarded as a racist now when all I want to do is to ensure Malay support for Barisan Nasional parties, especially UMNO.
