Ketuanan Melayu: ‘Why so brave now, Keng Yaik?’
Gerakan and MCA has no ball !! MACC should investigate why racist ahamad ismail is still free after 1 years, why police didn't take any action on this racist, are the police sleeping, or any politic influence ? many police reports has been made on this racist year ago, this racist openly insult others in front of medias, there's more than enough evidence to charge this racist, why still no action ?
All these ex-ministers only talk when they are no longer in power. Typical. Just like former MCA president Ong Ka Ting. When still in government, they kept quiet so as to not offend their political master, Umno.’
Resist that ‘foul word’ called Malay supremacy
SunShine1: Lim Keng Yaik, you should have made this statement when you were in government or are you
pretending that this ‘Ketuanan Melayu’ only started to exist after you left office? Gerakan, you guys will reap what you sowed. Your demise is nigh.
Foo Wy Len: Lim Keng Yaik are you for real? For years, you were a minister but what did you do. Talk is easy, la.
Nedunchelian Vengu: Too late, my ex-minister. You mean you didn’t know about ‘Ketuanan Melayu’ when you were in power? The rice has already turned to porridge.
For heaven’s sake even 1 case or racial whatever is not acceptable.
For heaven’s sake even 1 case or racial whatever is not acceptable.On one hand there is need to remind people of respect to National religion,Language and that of the rights of the Malay race and then there is this need to instill fear into other races and that of their religions.To top it we don’t encourage to consider just being Malaysians.
So if at all the country should promote good behaviour,tolerance it should be based on just that and not even mention the word race or religion or privileges etc.Have any politician tried to speak differently on such matters?
Be bold and frank and approach this matter with just being simply good and honest.We are all human beings,no one person is more precious than the other.We ought to be answerable for our actions and at no time will our thoughtless actions should affect others.We breathe the same air and that only will tell us we are no different.Its about total respect and change.It’s about learning and not being offended.Ther are many who are ignorant and ignore the simple things which then become a bad practises.Authenticity,tradition,common courtesy and practises start to disappear.
Gerakan seems to have a lot to say about the Penang CM recently.
DAP leaders today challenged leading Barisan Nasional (BN) parties, Gerakan and MCA, to make their stand known on Umno’s decision to lift the suspension of controversial Penang warlord Datuk Ahmad Ismail.
“Are they willing to quit Barisan Nasional?” asked Ipoh Barat MP M. Kulasegaran.
Yesterday, The Malaysian Insider reported that former Bukit Bendera Umno chief, Ahmad, who was suspended in September last year for uttering a racist remark, has been reinstated into the party last Friday.
“I am not shocked at all by the decision,” Kulasegaran told reporters in Parliament here.
Bukit Bendera MP Liew Chin Tong wondered what message Umno is trying to send when lifting the suspension.
“I want to know the view of Tan Sri Koh Tsu Koon as the minister in charge of national integration, and what message Umno is sending,” said Liew.
While Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua said the decision indicates that Umno is not serious in adopting the 1 Malaysia concept.
“Is Umno still holding on to its Ketuanan Melayu ideology, or has it truly accepted the 1 Malaysia concept?” Pua questioned.
He added that 1 Malaysia, which was introduced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak to promote national unity, must also be adopted by Umno.
Ahmad was suspended from the party following a public outcry after he called the non-Malays “pendatang” (immigrants) during the Permatang Pauh by-election campaign, which saw the dramatic return of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to Parliament.
His remark had caused damage to the administration of the then-prime minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, who had lost the support of the non-Malays in the 2008 Election.
It also led to Penang Umno’s fallout with its leading partner in the state, Gerakan.
The lifting of his suspension appears to be a move to appease party members who feel that he should not have been slapped with such a long suspension.
It is not likely to cause any ruffles within BN because the main critics against Ahmad — Gerakan and MCA — are now either on life support, or in the throes of infighting.
Koh Tsu Koon, previously before you were appointed as Minister In PM Dept you talk a lot of logic, at time you even critise UMNO/BN openly which were your true opinion. As it is now you HAVE CHANGED to greasing UMNO/BN Govt. Well we all can understand you have to cari makan after all you lose very badly in your previous election. However if for some reason that you have doubt of what I am exposing to you , I suggest that you have an open voting and tasked all Gerakan members to vote then you should know THE TRUTH. May be I suggest take a step further ASK ALL GERAKAN MEMBERS TO VOTE WHETHER GERAKAN SHOULD STAY IN BN. Another point I shall like to remind you is dont be like your counterpart in MCA, Ong Tee Kiat by making public the result then it is NO GOOD. You want to know why? If 75% MCA members want out of BN, I think it will be NOT TOO MUCH FOR ME TO PREDICT approx 80% PLUS of your party members want to be out.Why those affordable ministers etc opt for gated community if all the above said is true…..Take a wild guess!
Of course Ahmad Ismail will be "rewarded" under Najib for he was the one who helped him dethrone Pak Lah. Ahmad Ismail's racist remark was a master piece of Malay "Istana" fighting. Ahmad Ismail comes from Penang whose UMNO State Chairman was none other than Pak lah. Remember when the incident happened, Ahmad Ismail was unrependent and openly rebuked Pak Lah and then almost all the Penang Divisional chairmen supported Ahmad Ismail openly. Nobody turned up when Pak Lah called for a UMNO State Liaison meeting to discuss on the issue. It was clear that Pak Lah had lost his support in Penang and this created a snow-ball effect which forced Pak Lah to announce his retreat. The main actor was Ahmad Ismail and the main beneficiary was who we all know. Should we be surprised now that the suspension of Ahmad is being lifted?
Of course, Ahmad Ismail also wanted to challenge Dr Koh and Gerakan when his supporters tore and stepped on the official potrait of Dr Koh as the ex-CM of Penang. But this was done not without good reason for UMNO Penang whose hidden agenda were to send Gerakan a message: to relinguish its leadership role of BN Penang in favour of UMNO. It has always been UMNO's dream to govern Penang with its man as the CM. Now that Gerakan was at its weakest; what better time to show who was the master?
Unfortunately Gerakan under Dr Koh hadn't had the courage to face up to it. They didn't leave BN then. Do we seriously think that Gerakan will leave now? Don't forget it has a minister's post already you know. We can only hope that miracle will happen, for many think that the only chance for Gerakan to remain relevant is to get out of BN. Otherwise, Gerakan will be dead if it still lives under the shadow of the monster called UMNO and does not fight for its own image and "raison d'etre". No wonder DAP leaders are jumping up and down with joy at the present scenario. Ahmad Ismail will continue to haunt Penang Gerakan simply because Gerakan has no courage to live on its own, which ironically is the only way out for Gerakan to survive.
Can we expect a miracle from the President of Gerakan, Dr Koh Tsu Koon?
Suaram_Lame_Duck: What is new? Why so brave now? All these ex-ministers only open up and talk when they are no longer in power. Typical. Just like former MCA president and transport minister Ong Ka Ting. When still in government, they kept quiet so as to not offend their political master, Umno.
Teh: Lim should be a stand-up comedian. During his tenure as Gerakan president, he never spoke up against this ‘foul word’. Now he talks big. But even now, he has to say something nice about Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak. Just to balance up. Just in case, you know.
13th GE!: Lim Keng Yaik finally grew a pair but a little too late. When you were in power all was good in your eyes. Now when the people have spoken, you want to jump onto that bandwagon. At least, please be an original.
RR: Better late than never. Yes, there is no such thing as a superior race. In a multi-racial, multi-religious society, no single race – even if in the majority – should dominate the other races.
There must always be dharmic policies of justice, equality and meritocracy. This will lead the nation to greater progress and prosperity. Of course, those who are socially and economically disadvantaged must be given the crutches – but not forever as this will only put them in shame.
PM Najib has introduced a good concept of ‘1Malaysia’. He should walk the talk and so must all his UMNO ministers.

Pakistan’s nuclear facilities in the last two years
Terrorists have attacked three of Pakistan’s military nuclear facilities in the past two years and there is a serious danger that they will gain access to the country’s atomic arsenal, according to a journal published by the US Military Academy at West Point.
The report, written by Professor Shaun Gregory, a security specialist at Bradford University, comes amid mounting fears that the Taleban and al-Qaeda will breach Pakistan’s military nuclear sites – most of which are in or near insurgent strongholds in the north and west of the country.
The most serious attack was a strike by two suicide bombers on the Wah Cantonment Ordnance Complex, thought to be one of Pakistan’s main nuclear weapons assembly plants, about 18 miles northwest of Islamabad, in August 2008.
The incident, which claimed 70 lives, was widely reported but little mention was made of the nuclear risk.

Fabricated stories and White lies
ther attacks included the suicide bombing of a nuclear missile storage facility at Sargodha, in central Punjab, in November 2007 and a suicide attack on Pakistan’s nuclear airbase at Kamra, near Wah, on December 10, 2007.
In the Counter Terrorism Center Sentinel, Professor Gregory writes that the attacks illustrate “a clear set of weaknesses and vulnerabilities” in Pakistan’s nuclear security regime.
The strikes occurred as Pakistan sought to ramp up its nuclear capability — and as US special forces formulated contingency plans in the event of the country falling to insurgents.
A US Defense Intelligence Agency document revealed in 2004 that Pakistan had a nuclear arsenal of 35 weapons, a figure it planned to more than double by 2020.

In June, Mustafa Abu al-Yazid, an al-Qaeda commander in Afghanistan, suggested that the group would show no hesitation in using nuclear weapons. “God willing… the mujahideen would take them and use them against the Americans,” he told al-Jazeera television.
Pakistan’s security regime is modelled on the American system and includes the separation of warheads from detonators, which are stored in underground bunkers staffed by highly vetted personnel. Many details of the country’s nuclear programme — including the location of many warheads and their exact number — remain unknown.
However, most of the country’s nuclear weapons sites were built in the north and west of the country in the 1970s and 1980s, mainly to distance them from India — a ploy which now means many are located in insurgent areas. There are also concerns that vetting programmes may not identify Islamist sympathisers, whose influence extends far up Pakistan’s military hierarchy.

Professor Gregory writes: “There is already the well-known case of two senior Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission scientists, Sultan Bashirrudin Mahmood and Chaudhry Abdul Majeed, who travelled to Afghanistan in 2000 and again shortly before 9/11 for meetings with Osama bin Laden himself, the content of which has never been disclosed.” From Times Online August 11, 2009. Terrorists ‘have attacked Pakistan nuclear sites three times’Rhys Blakely in Mumbai
The Pentagon, seeking to bolster Pakistan’s government in its fight against Al-Qaeda and Pakistani Taliban forces, expressed satisfaction with security at the nuclear facilities in Pakistan.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, are “comfortable with the security measures the Pakistani government, the military have in place to ensure that their nuclear arsenal is safeguarded,” said press secretary Geoff Morrell.
The statement came after a write-up raised doubts about the nuclear facilites in Pakistan. “Pakistan’s nuclear facilities have come under attack from the Taliban and other groups and there is a “genuine” risk militants could seize weapons or bomb-making material,” an article published in a West Point think-tank newsletter said.
The Combating Terrorism Center, which is housed at the US Military Academy at West Point, published the article in the July edition of its Sentinel newsletter, copies of which were distributed widely on Tuesday.
The center said the views expressed in the article were those of the author, and not those of West Point, the Army or the Defense Department.
Written by Shaun Gregory, director of the Pakistan Security Research Unit at the University of Bradford in Britain, the article detailed three attacks against Pakistan’s nuclear facilities, and warned that sites in the country may be vulnerable to infiltration.
“The risk of the transfer of nuclear weapons, weapons components or nuclear expertise to terrorists in Pakistan is genuine,” the article said.
“The concern, however, is that most of Pakistan’s nuclear sites are close or even within areas dominated by Pakistani Taliban militants” and Al-Qaeda, Gregory said.
US officials,however, say Washington has taken steps to mitigate the risks like checking containers leaving from key ports for radioactive materials inside Pakistan.Reuters
Spokenthots: Finally, a component of BN has found its pair to say ‘no’ to ‘Ketuanan Melayu’. This call must be supported by all the other BN components to make the mainstay open its eyes in that the era of divisive politics is over with the ushering in of a more inclusive-type politics. Stand up and be counted, and this is required of all Malaysians who support democracy for all.
Cks: Lim, such a call as yours should be directed to your cabinet representative, meaning the ministers in charge for national KPIs. How could you expect the foot soldiers to declare ‘war’ when their leader continues to maintain silence?
Ric: Lim only knows how to talk big in front of the press. Tell this to your protege, Koh Tsu Koon.
Brij Jayaram Kathiravelu: Koh Tsu Koon, please take a cue from your predecessor Lim Keng Yaik in stamping your mark as the president of Gerakan. It has been one week since your were questioned in Parliament over the issue of ‘Ketuanan Melayu’, and your reluctance and failure to address the issue is glaring.
By the way, your statement that the former residents of Kampung Buah Pala were behind the burning of Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng’s poster at the BN Youth- organised demonstration last week at the Penang State assembly is downright stupid.
It goes to show that despite a hammering at the ballot box on March 8, you have not changed much.
Habib RAK: Lim Keng Yaik says ‘…if MCA continues to perform badly, then the onus is on Gerakan to do its best in the coming polls’. Thus, in Lim’s mind, Gerakan is a substitute for MCA. He has not realised that Gerakan is not a race-based party for the Chinese like the MCA. This tells me that as much as Lim says he rejects racism, he himself has a racist mindset.
Thanabalan Gurusamy: Ha, ha, ha! Lim Keng Yaik seriously thinks that Gerakan is in a better position than MCA to perform better at the next general election. I like that. He still tickles me!
Tey Khang Fai: Put him (Lim Keng Yaik) behind bars first and see if anybody will bring him shark fin soup. Ask him to debate the matter openly, ask him to talk about it and you’ll see he will be the first one to run away.
the last trash of bodohwee era Khairy Jamaluddin should look at himself in the mirror and then check his bank accounts, at home and abroad, before the MACC catches up with him, especially after he is finally left without his UMNO connections. His father-in-law and other in-laws too must explain how they have come to be filthy rich. Through business brilliance or connections during the period of the Badawi Administration?
Badawi himself should account for rm200 billion of Petronas money. I am now told that the former Prime Minister and his wife, Jeanne, want now to supply plants to Dewan Bandar Raya Kuala Lumpur. The whole UMNO system is corrupt to the core. Cukup lah.–Din Merican
