After 51 years of independence we yet to formulate our own system of administration. Divide and Rule system introduced by British still in forced. This time in name of National. When asked definition of National in parliament recently.
No answer was given by Prime Minister. Yet, we have Barisan Nasional, Perbadanan Nasional Berhad, Perbadanan Usahawan Nasional Berhad , Tenaga Nasional Berhad, Khazanah Nasional Berhad, Petroliam Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS), Bank Simpanan Nasional, Padiberas Nasional Berhad (BERNAS), Edaran Otomobil Nasional Berhad (EON), Amanah Saham Nasional , Pertubuhan Berita Nasional (Bernama) and many more.
The word National has been manipulated by current Government since majority of it’s activities only for 60% of Malaysian. What about balance 40% of Malaysian. So far, the acceptance of Bahasa Melayu as Bahasa Malaysia was initiated for benefit of all Malaysian while naturally we respect Our King and Jalur Gemilang as National patriotism.
In OPP 3 (Third Outline Perspective Plan), Malaysian Indian targeted to achieve 3% Equity by 2010 later current Prime Minster extend the target to 2020. Why and How 3% derived still a questionable figure?
After 8 years of plan introduction he is throwing a piece of bone by participation in Unit Trust system. Don’t he has any better plan and why now? What’s the trap behind? Why he need hard earn Indian Money now?
Let them invest into their own business without any hurdles and provide more access to financial assistance will be more then enough. While, government continuously targeting to reduce Chinese equity. Instead of encouraging them to grow economy and co-exist, they killing golden egg laying goose.
During our schooling time in 70s we used to visit our friends house not only during festival days. Now, we only celebrate Open Houses in mass. Ask a Chinese or Indian where you’re from? They will reply Malaysia. Since, it’s where our Grandfather, Father and we born In this soil.
In our mind it’s Malaysia not non bumiputra or immigrant. We work few times harder without any significant support to develop Malaysia too. Then why, an immigrant from Indonesia can become bumiputra and subsequently hold countries high Administrative position not the other Malaysian.
Any policy must be made to the National interest for Malaysians. Why Perbadanan Usahawan Nasional Berhad only for bumiputra, don’t the other 40% of Malaysian need assistance to excel themselves too. Why, PETRONAS only allowing 100% bumiputra contractors. Then why use the word “ Nasional” there.
Remove the word “Nasional” from those organization not meant for Malaysians as Malaysians. Let’s other 40% Malaysians have similar organization target for them alone.
If this divide and rule system to continue in globalisation era, Malaysia will be taken over by Vietnam and Indonesian next decade.

PEOPLE'S POWER
There is a difference between UMNO and Barisan Nasional. I want to make it clear that it is not the Barisan Nasional (BN) government, but the UMNO government. It is not the government, but UMNO. Barisan Nasional is a coalition of unequals, not equals. UMNO is the big brother in BN. Therefore UMNO must be held responsible; and more importantly, UMNO must not be allowed to hide behind the BN banner. UMNO is the enemy, not BN. UMNO is a racist party which has perfected the art of divide and rule. If moderate Malays, the natives of Sabah and Sarawak, and the Chinese and Indians unite, then they can vote UMNO out of office.
ReplyDeleteI have come to the conclusion that the easy solution is to completely defeat UMNO in the next elections. We have to vote racist UMNO out of office. UMNO is bent on divide and rule, which has affect Malaysia badly. It is for the next generation of Malaysians to undo the damage done to Malaysia by UMNO. There is a dire need for moderate Malays at the political level. There is also a need for the natives of Sabah and Sarawak to form a third force to protect their own interests. Imagine how UMNO had dealt with Sabah; from a rich state, Sabah has been reduced to a poor state subservient to UMNO. There has to be an explanation. The only way is UMNO has to be voted out of office. The younger generation of Malaysians do not like racist politics and UMNO must be taught a lesson by the younger generation by voting UMNO out of office. Please vote for any party but UMNO/BN.
To my Sabah and Sarawak brothers and sisters I tell you that historically UMNO has always avoided a Royal Commission of Inquiry as much as possible many times. Historically, UMNO has misused the Internal Security Act numerous times. Any political party that is an accomplice to UMNO is also the enemy. Any political party that is a co-conspirator to UMNO is also the enemy. To my Sabah and Sarawak brothers and sisters I say that you should form a third force. A third force would require unity among Sabahans and Sarawakians.
We have to get into the habit of putting people in office through votes, and removing people from office through votes. Nobody should be allowed to topple the government. We have to institutionalize the multi-party political system, one person one vote, and an independent judiciary.
In the 2004 elections (11th General Election), the voters gave good support to Mr.Abdullah Badawi. But reforms did not come. Why? Probably because UMNO had done well in the elections. If UMNO had done well in the elections, then the election results tell UMNO that the voters are satisfied with the status quo. If the voters are satisfied with UMNO, then no reforms are necessary. In the 2008 elections (12th General Elections), UMNO did not do well, but she managed to win. UMNO did lose the 2/3 majority in the Parliament, but she did win, nevertheless. Will UMNO undertake reforms now? I would not be surprised if she did not. Why should she? UMNO is still the winner in the elections; and she can plan to rise and may even succeed to rise again. So, as long as she wins, she will never undertake the reforms. So, how do the voters get the reforms that they need? The voters will get the reforms when UMNO is completely defeated in the 13th General Elections. If UMNO wins zero seats in the next elections (13th General Elections), then some other party would have to rule Malaysia. Let us call it Party B. If UMNO is completely defeated in the next elections (13th General Elections), then Party B would rule Malaysia. Would Party B undertake reforms? If Party B does not undertake reforms, then voters would know what to do.
There is no doubt that UMNO has used gerrymandering to strengthen herself. If we removed gerrymandering from UMNO, then there would be a reduced UMNO. So the non-UMNO voters of Malaysia have good reasons to vote against UMNO.
It is possible that UMNO has used the Police Force to strengthen herself. The Police Force is required to be neutral. But is the Police Force neutral? I appeal to the Police Force to be neutral.
UMNO is a race based political party and also the big brother of BN. So, the complete defeat of UMNO in the next elections is the only way to get reforms. The complete defeat of UMNO in the next elections is the only way to get a new beginning.
UMNO is inclined to believe that Malaysians cannot do anything if they are in any way dissatisfied. The voters, however, have to send a strong message to UMNO that the voters can do something: the voters can vote.
So, the next step for Malaysians is to completely defeat UMNO/BN in the next elections.

A third force
There is no smoke without fire. Rumours have been abound since MArch 8 that Sabahan parties may quit BN and join the opposition. As with most rumours in Malaysia, this has turned out to be not just speculation with the announcement of SAPP that it would move a vote of no confidence against Prime MInister AAB.
In the light of this announcement, BN would have no choice but to kick SAPP out of BN. Out of the 14 component parties, there would be 13 left.
There are also rumours that more than 10 others MPs would quit BN, either with their parties or individually. Will these turn out to be true also? After SAPP, I would not discount anything.
But politically, this group of more than 10 MPs (10 to 18 as rpeorted in Chinese Malaysiakini) would be more effective to help the people of Sabah, if they can remain as independents , without joining Pakatan.
Unless of course, they think for their own self interest, and that by joining Pakatan and bringing down BN governemnt, they would be rewarded with Ministerial positions and so on… And that would mean the politics of patronage, which we voters have been trying so hard to get rid of, may still be with us even with a change of government.
If this group can remain as independents, then they will hold the trump card, and can in fact force BN in general and UMNO in particular to change. They could demand for better govenrnace; they could ask the government to accelerate the setting up of judicial commission, the formation of which is facing some resistance as some in UMNO would not want this to happen; they could also ask for an completely independent Anti Corruption COmmission.
In a nutshell, these people could play leverage to get BN to return to the people.
By staying out of Pakatan, they could still help form a new government if UMNO does not change and if Pakatan can get enough MPs to leave BN. Once Pakatan forms a minority government, the leverage to get Pakatan deliver what it has promised will be much greater if this group stays out of Pakatan. If Pakatan does not deliver, this group can again exert its independence and vote Pakatan out , too.
When there is a 2 party system with almost equal strength, a small third independent force will be much more effective if it remains outside both the big brothers. That is what I hope will happen and this is what I have advocating.
