As reported in Malaysiakini.com 29 Dec 2008, a group of protesters in Penang called on Malay rulers to revoke the citizenship of Malaysians who dispute Malay special rights and demanded safeguards to their special position as enshrined in the constitution. To me, this is nothing but a sandiwara, absolutely a show staged by the irresponsible parties rather than by those really want to protect Malay rights hero.
This group of Malay NGO, led by Md Radzi Daud also not being straight to the point. They disguised under various beautiful names such as “call on Malaysians to defend Islam as the nation’s official religion”. Isn't it nonsense and “langsung tidak masuk akal”?. Come on, get real! Non-Malay recognise and respect islam as the official religion for Malaysia as per article 153 but is there any reason for us non-malay to defend that? Who will defend Islam other than Muslim themselves? If you think non Muslim should defend Islam, please then defend the pig farm for me.
This group is also no different from the other Malay extremist in the past, they basically trying to position Malay as victim under the current political climate. They said “Malays have kept quiet so far to maintain peace and harmony, but don't disturb the bees hive or you can be destroyed". I feel that the Malay extremist have recycled this remarks over and over again without thinking about it carefully. Malay keeps quiet? Excuse me, were you deaf or you pretend not to hear what Ahmad Ismail said during the Permatang Pauh by election? Whenever Malay or UMNO face problem, the non Malay will conveniently be blamed, will be victimised especially by UMNO. So will you still insist that the Malay keep quiet?
In the rally, this group also called for granting of immunity to the Malay royalty. Melayu mudah lupa, if you guys are really serious about this, grill Dr M first, and revoke his citizenship if you guys walk the talk because he was the one who removed the immunity. In addition, the UMNO members and assemblymen, especially those in Perlis & Terengganu also “menghina the sultan and raja during the tussle of the appointment of Menteri Besar. Strip off their citizenship please!
My appeal to the Malay, don’t be ignorance, you are being made used by UMNO, they have been
given more than 3 decades to help the Malays but they did otherwise. If you still think that you don't have your fair share of the country's wealth, that is not because of other races, it is because of UMNO's policies.
Lastly, spare your kids. Don't involve them in this type of rally because they are too young to understand. Kids are innocent and they don't born to hate anybody unless the adult taught them to. We are all Malaysian, we don’t wish to train our kids to hate or fight other races. So don't pass on this baggage to them, to hate the non-malay.
