Malay First, Malaysian Second

Tan Sri Muyiddin ought to be taken out of the cabinet and be stripped of his position as the Deputy Prime Minister for not complying with the express 1 Malaysia policy enunciated by our PM Datuk Seri Najib.

No sooner had the 1 Malaysia concept announced by Najib than Muyiddin surprised the nation by uttering that he considered himself a Malay first and Malaysian second. He must be an embarrassment to Najib.

The most astounding part was that Najib accepted and agreed to the explanation of Muyiddin! I believe deep inside his heart Najib might want to strangle Muyiddin alive if he ever had a chance for throwing a spanner into his long term political strategy of winning the lost Malay and Non-Malay support and votes.

By uttering such a racist remark, Muyiddin merely showed not only his shallowness in his foresight but also his political immaturity and imbecility. Such racist remark at this juncture might cause the UMNO and BN to suffer the consequences in the coming 13th General Election.

For Malaysia to move forward, politicians have to change their mind set and paradigm. They have to revisit their past and existing socio-economic policies and examine their relevance in present days' context. If they fail to do that, then I foresee that they will be doomed and vaporised in the next election.

The Government of the day must ensure that there is justice in her administration and ensure that the citizens be given fair treatment in all respects.

It must be realised that the country belongs to each and every citizen of the country. The resources must be shared fairly and equitalbly among the several races and tribes in the country. Discrimination must be avoided if the government wishes to see a favorable wind of change blowing in her direction.

Majority of the people feel that they are capable to compete on their own feet. They do not need economic clutches anymore. By continuing to spoonfeed the Malay masses, the Government is not going to help them toward competing in a global market.
Ultimately, more and more people of Malaysia will suffer at the avaricious hands of the few politicians at the top.

Petronas can no longer hide its profits under the skirt of the PM. The citizens have a right to know where its profits go. All the revenues and profits of GLCs must be accounted for to the public. The profits must be plowed back for the benefit and welfare of the masses.

Another sore point is the lack of transparency of the UMNO/BN leaders. A lot of money has been channeled out into the pockets of some top leaders through over-pricing of projects, unaccounted give-away and overseas investments!

Don't anyone ever think that the masses are still sleeping. Many are just controlling themselves until the appropriate time when they will initiate actions and their plans that will surprise many of the UMNOputras. And the day is nigh when UMNO and BN coalition will disappear from the political scene.

The recent suspension of the four MPs merely indicates that the BN government is very intolerant of the opposition's criticisms. The sensible questions to be addressed should be:

1) Did the UMNO/BN Government actually engage an international Israeli PR company
to come out with the 1 Malaysia Policy?

2) Was the 1 Malaysia concept patterned alongside the 1 Israel concept?

3) If so, why did the Malaysian Government engage that Israeli firm to undertake
the task of formulating the 1 Malaysia concept?

4) Even if it was so, was it wrong to admit that the Government did engage the
Israeli firm to undertake the project?

An admission would have solved all the problem and put the opposition criticisms to rest. So there is no necessary to waste the precious Parliament's time and subject the four MPs to disciplinary actions and supension for six months.
