The recent seditious accusation by Utusan Malaysia based on rumours by Umno supported bloggers has severely dented the image of the Malay daily even further within the Malay community. Naturally Perkasa needs no introduction.
It seems obvious that Utusan, being a propaganda tool to a certain faction of Umno spearheaded by none other than Dr Mahathir, aims very clearly to raise and indulge in ensuring Malaysians stay divided to ensure the path is laid out for his son.
As for Perkasa, the alternative game plan is to maintain the division between Umno as he observed the success with Hindraf.
Sadly though, Hindraf had genuine reasons as we can naturally observe the diplated state of Malaysian Indians who neither have the political nor the economical power, whereas Perkasa is purely politically motivated that would eventually gather dust.
There is no question within the Umno power players that there is a tussle going on between the Najib camp and the Muhyyidin camp under the tutelage of Dr Mahathir with the assistance of Perkasa. It was all so obvious with the Interlok issue.
Malays like me don’t even take a second look at Utusan or Perkasa as it does not reflect real reporting or any substance but rather to play the role as the mouth piece for Umno’s power struggle. You don’t need a rocket scientist to figure this out.
Malays like me having lived with other Malaysians irrespective of their origin can comprehend the game plan of Umno and their mini Napoleoans in their attempt to create a rift amongst Malaysians to hold on to power.
The ‘Ministry of truth’ is an epochal fiction character in George Orwell fiction. Sure, surprised that a Malaysian Malay can talk about it? Well, the Malaysian Malay is not Malay but Malaysian amongst the rest of them in his/her heart and mind.
A slap in the wrist is all that Utusan gets for seditious allegations against the Christian pastors, but can you blame Umno when they themselves have to squabble amongst themselves to maintain their hegemony for their preferred faction like what we now see within Pakatan?
Whether Umno maintains its hegemony is not the issue or Pakatan comes into power, but Malaysians as a united public. Malays need to realise that we are all Malaysians along with our fellow non Malays who seeks our support and effort to ensure that fairness and justice are in place for them without the typical rhetoric that is based only for Umno or Pakatan to survive.
I urge the Malaysian Malay to rally to any Malaysian with a genuine cause, not on a platform on how Utusan/Perkasa does it through the current active frontliner crusader like Ibrahim Ali for the evergreen hypocritical racist Dr Mahathir or for that matter even Pakatan.
