Mr. DPM Najib, That's Rubbish. Its Called High-Handed Racial Scare Tactics by the Government

DPM Najib, Malaysians especially the Malays in Kg Baru are not as stupid as you are to go out fight with keris under your command, this is year 2008.

The Kg Baru folks are educated and busy doing business in the capital to better their life.

Your claim is ridiculous, absurd, blatant lie.

You are bankrupt of ideas and not relevant anymore so to stay in power and rob the country you are trying to pit them into racial fights.

You are not only old but using too old tactics. You are not relevant. Pack and go after this election or be shamed.

Mr. DPM Najib, That's Rubbish. Its Called High-Handed Racial Scare Tactics by the Government Tuesday, January 22, 2008, 03:36

" MALAYSIA'S DEPUTY PM SAYS CRACKDOWN AVERTED RACIAL VIOLENCE" From Agence France-Presse (AFP) Newswire:

Malaysian Unplug says: "It is utterly irresponsible of someone with the highly influential and respected position of a Deputy Prime Minister to keep on harping and raising the specter of the 1969 racial clash.

By doing so, DPM Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak is encouraging others to rehash the findings of Dr. Kua Kia Soong's book, "May 13: Declassified Documents on the Malaysian Riots 1969" that it was UMNO that triggered the racial bloodbath and NOT the non-Malays.

It is becoming too obvious that with the general election looming, DPM Najib, who himself has a baggage of poor judgement on making dangerous racial comments in the past, notably during an UMNO rally with images of him and non-Malay blood on the keris, is again creating a climate of racial fear of the 1970s and 1980s.

The truth of the matter is that the Hindraf protesters were fighting for rights of the Malaysian Indians marginalised by the Government in the last 30 odd years.

It is the Government-of-the-day which had exploited it as a RACE issue.

And now, we have a Deputy Prime Minister on a scare-tactic binge by bringing in the dark days of Malaysia in 1969 into the whole equation again in 2008.

Coming from a leader of the country, it cannot get any more dangerous than now, with the current increasing simmering of racial and religious tensions pervading in the country, caused primarily by the racially biased politics and policies of this Government led by UMNO.

Najib must now behave and act like a statesman, more like a Deputy Prime Minister, and NOT like an UMNO underling, harping on issues with racial undertones and engaging in the politics of racial fears. Malaysians today are no more hamstrung by the biased reporting of the

Government-controlled mainstream media (the likes of NST, Star and the vernacular papers) as they had been in the 1960s and 1970s or 1980s.

They are no more led by the nose on everything (real and unreal) dished out by the Government and/or UMNO. The internet paid put to that.

It is time for Najib to get out of his stereotypic mindset and be a Prime Minister-in-the-making instead of embarking on a new round of creating racial fears among Malays and non-Malays.
We say, Mr. Deputy Prime Minister Najib, get over it and move on ! "

"...Malaysia on Monday defended its crackdown on dissent, including the arrest of ethnic Indian activists and suppression of street protests, saying it had averted a serious risk of racial violence.
Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak raised the spectre of the country's worst race riots, when almost 200 people were killed in clashes between ethnic Chinese and Muslim Malays in May 1969.

Najib said in an interview with AFP:

"If the Malays of Kampung Baru (the Malay enclave was one of the flashpoints of the 1969 riots) come out then we have the spectre of a serious possibility of a racial clash in this country.

There were signs that they were preparing to come out so we had to tell them, 'look, don't make the situation any worse',".

Najib -- who as deputy premier is expected to be Malaysia's next leader after Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi -- defended the use of the much-criticised Internal Security Act (ISA) on the Hindraf leaders.

Najib indicated the National Front coalition government could lose ground in general elections expected to be held in March, which follow a torrid few months that have included the protests as well as food shortages and a ministerial sex scandal.

After a resounding victory in 2004, which reversed losses in 1999, commentators say the pendulum is likely to swing AGAINST the government again.

The ruling United Malays National Organisation has led the National Front coalition in government for half a century.
