You can't teach a Malay new tricks

"You Can't Teach Malay New Tricks"

by: Xroy Bogel

The sad fact of the matter is as one great man put it, "a government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always rely on the support of Paul, " and this government as we all know has been continuously robbing us to pay the Malays, so where do you think this will end?

For that matter in the case of the Judiciary we must remember that Anwar was a member of Team" A" in the great UMNO saga that resulted in the removal of Tun Salleh Abbas the then Lord President, the sacking of esteemed judges - George Seah, and Wan Sulaiman Pawenteh and, also the disciplinary action against Eusoffee Abdoolcader.

UMNO had the support of Anwar at that time as Anwar was then elected the Deputy President of UMNO, he was the Deputy Prime Minister and could have stood up against it at that time if he was a man of honour, today he has become victim of his own doing, and we must never forget that he was party to it.

Badawi on the other hand belonged to team "B" and today he practices the same things he and Razaleigh and gang were against when they fought Mahathir, for what they alleged were corrupt practices. It is more a case of "where is my share," and for the aspiring leaders amongst this group of crooks "'I'll be richer if I am up there." it's a case of, " you can't teach a Malay new tricks," because it looks like every Malay who assumes the post of PM will be up to the same dirty old tricks.

Today, and in the future such things will continue to happen because we lack integrity amongst our leaders, and I will very bravely say that there are indeed very few Malays who possess this quality called integrity, after seeing so much in the last fifty years I believe this conniving lot are just fighting to rest power for their own sake, and once there, we are but pawns.

The same applies to the Indian and Chinese leaders in government, these are the worst of the whole lot, they are the vampires, and for those of you who witnessed it, it will now explain why at one time Tan Koon Suan and Neo Yee Pan fought tooth and nail for the MCA presidency, its simple the person who wrests this position becomes a multi-millionaire at the expense of the people.
All MCA Presidents after Tan Swee Sin have become Million if not Billionaires. (Tun Tan came into Parliment rich and he was I still believe a man of integrity who looked at himself as a Malaysian leader more than a Chinese leader.) Isn't Samy Velu Samy Veloo a rich man as well.

So you see as long as we continue to accept all this nonsense about Malay superiority, and Bumiputra privileges we shall continue to be sidelined and be the same third class citizens we are.

The Malays in this country have been accustomed to all these illegitimate privileges grabbed thru political clout which was also gained through illegitimate means, and that statement may surprise you, but take a look at May 13, the truth about May 13 is now being leaked by Malays themselves who have learned to hate UMNO because they were kicked out of it. Raja Petra Kamaruddin has placed the blame squarely on Tun Abdul Razak and Dato Harun Idris.

Today they will tell you how UMNO used May 13 to quell opposition by the forceful formation of the Barisan Nasional, the subsequent redrawing of electoral boundaries, how they sent in family planning workers to the estates and new villages to teach Chinese and Indian housewives about the benefits of small families whilst they propagated the 75 million population policy amongst the Malays. (Note till today the official version of the Malaysian Government is that May 13 was started by the Chinese) (Read Raja Petra Kamaruddin to find out the true story.)

The Chinese population that once stood in the majority is fast dwindling, it's in the thirties (%) now, the foreign worker population now exceeds the Indian population so what clout do the non Malays have? Where do they stand? The Islamisation of the nation that was founded on a social contract to be secular has been unilaterally broken on the premise that consultation is no more a requirement, the Malays can do what they like, where has the sanctity of this contract gone?

And now this, the only institution (the judiciary) that once held sway on whom we could rely on for a decent dose of justice without fear and favour has also gone with the wind and been engulfed by this epidemic called corruption.

I hope some sanity prevails, I hope that men of honour still exist in our Malay Muslim community to put right these evils, and to be very straight forward, I think even if Anwar comes to power we will be faced with the same problems, to remain in power he has to play the same game, "you can't teach a Malay new tricks."
