".... Aku Melayu. Aku juga Muslim. Tapi aku BENCI kepada PERKASA.
Adakah ini bererti aku mengkhianati Melayu? TIDAK sama sekali.
Menentang PERKASA bererti aku mahu melihat bangsa Melayu hebat di mata dunia.
Aku menentang PERKASA kerana mereka suka menutup sejarah.kerana aku tidak suka bagaimana mereka cuba MEMPERBODOHKAN orang Melayu.
Lagi tebal kebodohan Melayu lagi berkuasalah UMNO. Apabila berkuasanya UMNO maka lagi senanglah mereka merompak harta rakyat. Apabila harta rakyat dirompak maka PERKASA mengharapkan sedikit sebanyak harta itu diberikan kepada mereka.
Aku masih ingat wajah Ibrahim Ali ketika sambutan hari Raya di rumah Anwar Ibrahim. Muka sedih dan tidak berdaya datang memohon simpati. Datang ke rumah Tuan Guru Nik Aziz meminta pertolongan agar diberi kerusi Pasir Mas.
Bila sudah menang. Memang melepaskan anjing. Sekarang dicubanya menggigit Anwar Ibrahim dan TG Nik Aziz. Menyalak tak tentu hala.
PEERKASA cuba menjadi hero untuk orang Melayu. Tapi dalam masa yang sama, telah mencemarkan maruah orang Melayu kerana telah menyebabkan bangsa - bangsa LAIN menyampah dengan bangsa ini.
Mereka telah menganggap orang Melayu sama saja kurang ajarnya dengan PERKASA dan UMNO . Kadang - kala tindakan mereka yang menggunakan nama agama suci ini juga telah menyebabkan penganut agama lain menjadi bertambah jauh daripada Islam.
Dari isu kalimah Allah hingga masuk dalam masjid. Semuanya diMelayukan oleh PERKASA dan UMNO .
Sedangkan zaman Nabi Muhammad s.a.w tidak pernah jadi begitu. Islam tidak diArabkan hatta Islam itu sendiri bercanggah dengan naluri asal orang Arab. Aku begitu geli dengan mereka ini. Geli sifat munafik yang mereka tonjolkan. Mulut kata perjuangkan untuk bangsa dan agama tapi dalam masa mereka rela bersama - sama orang yang melakukan rasuah.
Aku Melayu. Malu aku apabila dicalitkan najis kebebalan PERKASA dan UMNO atas nama Ketuanan Melayu. Malu aku apabila orang sebangsa aku sanggup jadi pak turut Perkasa dalam isu yang sengaja khas direka oleh PERKASA dan UMNO.
Melayu jangan jadi layu.
MELAYU harus tunjukkan kepada bangsa - bangsa LAINbahawa:
-- Kita sebenarnya cerdik.
-- Kita mampu berubah.
-- Kita mampu berfikir secara waras.
-- Kita boleh bertolak - ansur dalam sesuatu perkara.
-- Kita tidak gila macam Perkasa dan Umno.
-- Kita tidak bodoh seperti Umno dan Perkasa...."
Aku Melayu. Aku juga Muslim. Tapi aku BENCI kepadaPERKASA.
Apakah tindakan aku membenci Perkasa seperti mana aku membenci Yahudi Zionis ini bererti aku pengkhianat Melayu?
Aku membenci Perkasa BUKAN kerana hebatnya Ibrahim Ali bermain drama.
Aku membenci Perkasa kerana aku tidak suka bagaimana mereka cuba MEMPERBODOHKAN orang Melayu.
Pertubuhan yang dianggotai oleh manusia - manusia yang cerdik cuba menyeret orang Melayu turut sama menjadi bodoh seperti mereka.
Inilah perkara utama kenapa aku benci kepada Perkasa.
Mereka menjerit kepada ketuanan Melayu. Mereka menjerit jangan undi DAP. Jika undi DAP maka hilanglah kuasa orang Melayu. Undi DAP lihat apa yang terjadi kepada orang Melayu di Pulau Pinang.Satu perkataan yang khas buat mereka. BODOH!
Jangan cuba tutup sejarah. Jangan cuba gelapkan sejarah.
Jangan jadi perangai Munsyi Abdullah yang menutup sejarah sebenar Malaysia dengan karya dongeng yang membodohkan rakyat Malaysia.
Orang Melayu di kampung Berembang merupakan pengundi tetap Umno. Kubu kuat Umno yang sukar ditembusi oleh PAS ataupun PKR. Namun lihat apa yang terjadi kepada mereka. Rumah mereka dirobohkan disaat anak - anak penduduk kampung Berembang menanti untuk peperiksaan. Pasangan uda dan dara yang akan melangsungkan perkahwinan. Surau di kampung Berembang dirobohkan. MANA PERGI PEJUANG - PEJUANG MELAYU yang menjerit ketuanan Melayu.
Jangan jadi bangsat wahai Perkasa. Aku dan ribuan anak muda Melayu menangis melihat suara, tangisan dan jeritan anak - anak kecil Melayu melihat rumah mereka dirobohkan.
Mana kalian semua ketika mereka menagih simpati? Mana kalian semua ketika surau di kampung tersebut dirobohkan? Mana keris - keris yang bersedia dihunuskan ketika mereka menangis? DI MANA SEMUA ITU?
Sudah pasti kita semua mendengar hujah mereka "Oh, rumah itu rumah haram." Oh alangkah pembohongnya mereka. Alangkah bangsatnya perangai mereka. Jika yang dirobohkan rumah itu hasil kerja-tangan Pakatan Rakyat, maka bersiap - sedialah gendang perang ditiupkan. Walaupun Pakatan Rakyat menggunakan hujah yang sama, namun itu salah bagi mereka. Jadi jadi manusia munafik atau perangai seperti Yahudi Zionis kepada pemimpin Perkasa. Jijik aku melihat sifat dan akhlak kalian semua.
Aku Melayu, tapi aku menentang Perkasa. Adakah ini bererti aku mengkhianati Melayu. Tidak sama sekali. Aku menentang Perkasa kerana mereka suka menutup sejarah.
Perkasa mewarisi ilmu menipu daripada Munsyi Abdullah dan sebagainya. Apabila sejarah ditutup maka secara tidak langsung ia boleh menyebabkan sesuatu kaum atau agama musnah sama sekali. Menentang Perkasa bererti aku mahu melihat bangsa Melayu hebat di mata dunia. Bangsa Melayu dianggap bangsa penyayang oleh bangsa Cina, India dan lain - lain. Bukannya lagi sebagai sebuah bangsa yang mengharapkan Umno atau Perkasa dan bukannya hanya tahu marah tapi tidak mahu berubah.
Jika benar Malaysia ini milik orang Melayu, maka buktikan dahulu dengan mencampak Umno dan Perkasa. Hanya dengan mencampak mereka sejauh - jauhnya barulah Melayu boleh kembali gemilang dan hidup bersama - sama dengan bangsa yang lain. Jauhkan anasir penghasut dalam Malaysia.
Aku Juga Se-Orang Muslim
Aku seorang Muslim dan Melayu. Aku cuba menjadi Muslim yang baik walaupun tidak sebegitu sempurna. Idola aku Nabi Muhammad s.a.w merupakan contoh terbaik aku. Dari kehidupan peribadinya hinggalah kepada cara Baginda s.a.w mentadbir negara. Apabila aku melihat wujud kumpulan - kumpulan melampau yang cuba mencemarkan nama baik agama ini maka aku harus bangkit lawan.
Perkasa cuba menjadi hero untuk orang Melayu. Tapi dalam masa yang sama, telah mencemarkan maruah orang Melayu kerana telah menyebabkan bangsa - bangsa lain menyampah dengan bangsa ini. Mereka telah menganggap orang Melayu sama saja kurang ajarnya dengan Perkasa dan Umno. Kadang - kala tindakan mereka yang menggunakan nama agama suci ini juga telah menyebabkan penganut agama lain menjadi bertambah jauh daripada Islam.
Dari isu kalimah Allah hingga masuk dalam masjid. Semuanya diMelayukan oleh Perkasa dan Umno. Sedangkan zaman Nabi Muhammad s.a.w tidak pernah jadi begitu. Islam tidak diArabkan hatta Islam itu sendiri bercanggah dengan naluri asal orang Arab. Aku begitu geli dengan mereka ini. Geli sifat munafik yang mereka tonjolkan.
Mulut kata perjuangkan untuk bangsa dan agama tapi dalam masa mereka rela bersama - sama orang yang melakukan rasuah, terang - terang menindas rakyat dengan menaikkan harga minyak dan harga barang.
Ketika zaman Nabi Muhammad s.a.w Abdullah bin Ubay merupakan ketua munafik pada zaman tersebut. Selepas kewafatan baginda s.a.w, lahir seorang lagi iaitu Abdullah bin Saba'. Masuk Islam namun dalam masa yang sama berniat menghancurkan agama ini dengan mencetuskan persengketaan sesama Islam.
Di Malaysia, wujud seorang individu yang perangai sama macam dua insan yang dilaknat ini. Permainan menempel muka dengan muka pengemis yang menimpa simpati. Aku masih ingat wajah Ibrahim Ali ketika sambutan hari Raya di rumah Anwar Ibrahim. Muka sedih dan tidak berdaya datang memohon simpati. Datang ke rumah Tuan Guru Nik Aziz meminta pertolongan agar diberi kerusi Pasir Mas. Bila sudah menang.
Memang melepaskan anjing. Sekarang dicubanya menggigit Anwar Ibrahim dan TG Nik Aziz. Menyalak tak tentu hala. Cuba memecah-belahkan undi orang Melayu. Dahulu sanggup turun ke jalanraya menentang kenaikan harga minyak di KLCC. Sekarang, diam takut menikus. Bacul dan jantan yang tiada telur apabila kuasa dan duit sudah diberikan. Lagi bangsat daripada Yahudi Zionis.
Aku Melayu, melihat gelagat Perkasa yang sememangnya menipu dan cubaan membodohkan orang Melayu menyebabkan aku merasa cukup jijik. Melayu bodoh maka senanglah mereka menjilat tangan Najib kerana jika Melayu jadi bodoh maka Umno akan terus berkuasa.
Operasi membodohkan Melayu harus dilaksanakan secepat mungkin. Lagi tebal kebodohan Melayu lagi berkuasalah Umno. Apabila berkuasanya Umno maka lagi senanglah mereka merompak harta rakyat. Apabila harta rakyat dirompak maka Perkasa mengharapkan sedikit sebanyak harta itu diberikan kepada mereka.
Aku Melayu dan aku faham sejarah. Suruh ahli - ahli kumpulan Perkasa baca balik buku teks sejarah tingkatan tiga (walaupun tak sampai 10% betul). Melayu berasal dari mana. China. Jadi apa perlu kita bergaduh. Sedangkan kita serumpun. Itu belum dikira manusia berasal dari Nabi Adam. Perkasa jangan jadi keldai. Cukup kamu seorang keldai tapi jangan diseret sama orang - orang Melayu menjadi keldai juga. Cukup kamu semua yang bodoh tapi dibodohkan minda orang - orang Melayu.
Aku Melayu. Malu aku apabila dicalitkan najis kebebalan Perkasa dan Umno atas nama Ketuanan Melayu. Malu aku apabila orang sebangsa aku sanggup jadi pak turut Perkasa dalam isu yang sengaja khas direka oleh Perkasa dan Umno. Sudahlah kita dibebalkan dengan sejarah rekaan Munsyi Abdullah, British dan Thailand sekarang kita sekali lagi dibengapkan oleh Perkasa dan Umno.
Melayu jangan jadi layu. Melayu harus tunjukkan kepada bangsa - bangsa lain bahawa kita sebenarnya cerdik. Kita mampu berubah. Kita mampu berfikir secara waras. Kita boleh bertolak - ansur dalam sesuatu perkara. Kita tidak gila macam Perkasa dan Umno. Kita tidak bodoh seperti Umno dan Perkasa.
Aku Melayu dan Islam. Aku memilih untuk menolak Umno dan Perkasa. Kalian semua bagaimana?
Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah: We were once ‘Malaysians’
The following keynote speech was given by Gua Musang (Kelantan) Parliamentarian and former Malaysian Finance Minister Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah at the 4th Annual Malaysian Student Leaders Summit (MSLS) on July 30, 2010.
I have played some small role in the life of this nation, but having been on the wrong side of one or two political fights with the powers-that-be, I am not as close to the young people of this country as I would hope to be.
History and the 8 o’clock news are written by the victors. In recent years, the government’s monopoly of the media has been destroyed by the technology revolution.
You could say I was also a member of the United Kingdom and Eire Council for Malaysian Students (UKEC). Well I was, except that I belonged to the predecessor of the UKEC, by more than 50 years, the Malayan Students Union of the UK and Eire. I led this organisation in 1958/59.
I was then a student of Queen’s University at Belfast, as well as at Lincoln’s Inn. In a rather cooler climate than Kota Bharu’s, we campaigned for decolonisation. We demonstrated in Trafalgar Square and even in Paris. We made posters and participated in British elections.
Your invitation to participate in the MSLS was prefaced by an essay that calls for an intellectually informed activism. I congratulate you on this. The youth of today, you note, “will chart the future of Malaysia.” You say you “no longer want to be ignored and leave the future of our Malaysia at the hands of the current generation.” You “want to grab the bull by the horns… and have a say in where we go as a society and as a nation.”
I feel the same, actually. A lot of Malaysians feel the same. They are tired of being ignored and talked down to. You are right. The present generation in power has let Malaysia down. But also you cite two things as testimony of the importance of youth and of student activism to this country, the election results of 2008 and “the prime minister’s acknowledgement of the role of youth in the development of the country.”
So perhaps you are a little way yet from thinking for yourselves. The first step in “grabbing the bull by the horns” is not to require the endorsement of the prime minister, or any minister, for your activism. Politicians are not your parents. They are your servants. You don’t need a government slogan coined by a foreign PR agency to wrap your project in. You just go ahead and do it.
When I was a student, our newly independent country was already a leader in the post-colonial world. We were sought out as a leader in the Afro-Asian Conference that inaugurated the Non-Aligned Movement and the G-77.
The Afro-Asian movement was led by such luminaries as Zhou En Lai, Nehru, Kwame Nkrumah and Soekarno. Malaysians were seen as moderate leaders capable of mediating between the more radical leaders and the West. We were known for our moderation, good sense and reliability.
We were a leader in the Islamic world, as ourselves and as we were, without our leaders having to put up false displays of piety. His memory has been scrubbed out quite systematically from our national consciousness, so you might not know this or much else about him, but it was Tunku Abdul Rahman who established our leadership in the Islamic world by coming up with the idea of the OIC (Organisation of Islamic Conference) and making it happen.
Under his leadership, Malaysia led the way in taking up the anti-apartheid cause in the Commonwealth and in the United Nations, resulting in South Africa’s expulsion from these bodies.
Tunku Abdul Rahman: His great integrity in service was clear to all
Here was a man at ease with himself, made it a policy goal that Malaysia be “a happy country”. He loved sport and encouraged sporting achievement among Malaysians. He was owner of many a fine race horses. He called a press conference with his stewards when his horse won at the Melbourne Cup.
He had nothing to hide because his great integrity in service was clear to all. Now we have religious and moral hypocrites who cheat, lie and steal in office, who propagate an ideology that shackled the education system for all Malaysians, while they send their own kids to elite academies in the West.
Days when we were on top
Speaking of football – you’re too young to have experienced the Merdeka Cup in the 60s and 70s. Teams from across Asia would come to play in Kuala Lumpur: teams such as South Korea and Japan, whom we defeated routinely.
We were one of the better sides in Asia. We won the bronze medal at the Asian Games in 1974 and qualified for the Moscow Olympics in 1980. Today our FIFA ranking is 157 out of 203 countries.
That puts us in the lowest quartile, below Maldives (149), the smallest country in Asia, with just 400,000 people living about 1.5 metres above sea level who have to worry that their country may soon be swallowed up by climate change. Here in Asean we are behind Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, whom we used to dominate, and now only one spot above basketball-playing Philippines.
The captain of our illustrious 1970′s side was Soh Chin Aun and we had R Arumugam, Isa Bakar, Santokh Singh, James Wong and Mokhtar Dahari. They were heroes whose names rolled off the tongues of our schoolchildren as they copied them on the school field. It wasn’t about being the best in the world, but about being passionate and united and devoted to the game.
It was the same in badminton, except at one time we were the best in the world. I remember Wong Peng Soon, the first Asian to win the All-England Championship, and then just dominated it throughout the 1950. Back home every kid who played badminton in every little kampung wanted to call himself Wong Peng Soon.
There was no tinge of anybody identifying themselves exclusively as Chinese, Malays or Indian. Peng Soon was a Malayan hero. Just like each of our football heroes. Now we do not have an iota of that feeling. Where has it all gone?
Capital flight troubling
I don’t think it’s mere nostalgia that makes us think there was a time when the sun shone more brightly upon Malaysia. I bring up sport because it has been a mirror of our more general performance as a nation.
When we were at ease with who we were and didn’t need slogans to do our best together, we did well. When race and money entered our game, we declined. The same applies to our political and economic life.
Soon after independence, we were already a highly successful developing country. We had begun the infrastructure building and diversification of our economy that would be the foundation for further growth. We carried out an import-substitution programme that stimulated local productive capacity.
From there, we started an infrastructure build-up that enabled a diversification of the economy leading to rapid industrialisation. We carried out effective programmes to raise rural income and help the landless with programmes such as Felda.
Our achievements in achieving growth with equity were recognised around the world. Our peer group in economic development were South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan, and we led the pack. I remember we used to send technical consultants to advise the South Koreans.
B
y the late 90s, however, we had fallen far behind this group and were competing with Thailand and Indonesia. Today, according to the latest World Investment Report, FDI into Malaysia is at a 20-year low.
We are entering the peer group of Cambodia, Burma and the Philippines as an investment destination. Thailand, despite a month-long siege of the capital, attracted more FDI than we did last year. Indonesia and Vietnam far outperform us, not as a statistical blip but consistently. Soon we shall have difficulty keeping up with the Philippines.
This, I believe, is called relegation. If we take into account FDI outflow, the picture is even more depressing. Last year, we received US$1.38 billion in investments but US$8.04 billion flowed out. We are the only country in Southeast Asia that has suffered net FDI outflow.
I am not against outward investment. It can be a good thing for the country. But an imbalance on this scale indicates capital flight, not mere investment overseas.
Time to wake up
Without a doubt, Malaysia is slipping. Billions have been looted from this country, and billions more are being siphoned out as our entire political structure crumbles. Yet we are gathered here in comfort, in a country that still seems to ‘work’ – most of the time. This is due less to good management than to the extraordinary wealth of this country.
You were born into a country of immense resources, both natural, cultural and social. We have been wearing down this advantage with mismanagement and corruption. With lies, tall tales and theft. We have a political class unwilling or unable to address the central issue of the day because they have grown fat and comfortable with a system built on lies and theft.
It is time to wake up. That waking up can begin here, right here, at this conference. Not tomorrow or the day after but today. So let me, as I have the honour of opening this conference, suggest the following:
1) Overcome the urge to have our hopes for the future endorsed by the prime minister. He will have retired, and I’ll be long gone, when your future arrives. The shape of your future is being determined now.
2) Resist the temptation to say “in line with” when we do something. Your projects, believe it or not, don’t have to be in line with any government campaign for them to be meaningful. You don’t need to polish anyone’s apple. Just get on with what you plan to do.
3) Do not put a lid on certain issues as ‘sensitive’ just because someone said they are. Or it is against the ‘social contract’. Or it is ‘politicisation’.
You don’t need to have your conversation delimited by the hyper-sensitive among us. Sensitivity is often a club people use to hit each other with.Reasoned discussion of contentious issues builds understanding and trust. Stress test your ideas.
4) It’s not ‘conservative’ or ‘liberal’ to ask for an end to having politics, economic policy, education policy and everything and the kitchen sink determined by race. It’s called growing up.
5) Don’t let the politicians you have invited here talk down to you.
Don’t let them
Don’t let them tell you how bright and ‘exuberant’ you are, that you are the future of the nation, etc. If you close your eyes and flow with their flattery, you have safely joined the caravan, a caravan taking the nation down a sink hole.
If they tell you the future is in your hands, kindly request that they hand that future over first. Ask them how come the youngest member of our cabinet is 45? Our Merdeka cabinet had an average age below 30.
You’re not the first generation to be bright. Mine wasn’t too stupid. But you could be the first generation of students and young graduates in 50 years to push this nation through a major transformation. And it is a transformation we need desperately.
You will be told that much is expected of you, much has been given to you and so forth. This is all true. Actually much has also been stolen from you. Over the last twenty five years, much of the immense wealth generated by our productive people and our vast resources has been looted. This was supposed to have been your patrimony.
The uncomplicated sense of belonging fully, wholeheartedly, unreservedly, to this country, in all its diversity, that has been taken from you. Our sense of ourselves as Malaysians, a free and united people, has been replaced by a tale of racial strife and resentment that continues to haunt us. The thing is, this tale is false.
Reclaim your history
The most precious thing you have been deprived of has been your history. Someone of my generation finds it hard to describe what must seem like a completely different country to you now. Malaysia was not born in strife but in unity. Our independence was achieved through a demonstration of unity by the people in supporting a multiracial government led by Tunku Abdul Rahman.
That show of unity, demonstrated first through the municipal elections of 1952 and then through the Alliance’s landslide victory in the elections of 1955, showed that the people of Malaya were united in wanting their freedom. We surprised the British, who thought we could not do this.
Today we are no longer as united as we were then. We are also less free. I don’t think this is a coincidence. It takes free people to have the psychological strength to overcome the confines of a racialised worldview. It takes free people to overcome those politicians bent on hanging on to power gained by racialising every feature of our life including our football teams.
Hence while you are at this conference, let me argue, that as an absolute minimum, we should call for the repeal of unjust and much abused Acts of Parliament which are reversals of freedoms that we won at Merdeka.
I ask you in joining me in calling for the repeal of the ISA (Internal Security Act) and the OSA (Official Secrets Act). These draconian laws have been used, more often than not, as political tools rather than instruments of national security. They create a climate of fear.
I ask you to join me in calling for the repeal of the Printing and Publications Act, and above all, the Universities and University Colleges Act (UUCA). I don’t see how you can pursue your student activism with such freedom and support in the UK and Eire while forgetting that your brethren at home are deprived of their basic rights of association and expression by the UUCA. The UUCA has done immense harm in dumbing down our universities.
We must have freedom as guaranteed under our constitution. Freedom to assemble, associate, speak, write, move. This is basic. Even on matters of race and even on religious matters we should be able to speak freely, and we shall educate each other.
Make BN multiracial
It is time to realise the dream of Hussein Onn and the spirit of the Alliance and of Tunku Abdul Rahman. That dream was one of unity and a single Malaysian people. They went as far as they could with it in their time. Instead of taking on the torch, we have reversed course. The next step for us as a country is to move beyond the infancy of race-based parties to a non-racial party system.
Our race-based party system is the key political reason why we are a sick country, declining before our own eyes, with money fleeing and people telling their children not to come home after their studies.
So let us try to take 1Malaysia seriously. Millions have been spent putting up billboards and adding the term to every conceivable thing. We even have ‘Cuti-cuti 1Malaysia’. Can’t take a normal holiday anymore. This is all fine.
Now let us see if it means anything. Let us see the government of the day lead by example. 1Malaysia is empty because it is propagated by a government supported by a racially-based party system that is the chief cause of our inability to grow up in our race relations.
Our inability to grow up in our race relations is the chief reason why investors, and we ourselves, no longer have confidence in our economy. The reasons why we are behind Maldives in football, and behind the Philippines in FDI, are linked.
So let us take 1Malaysia seriously, and convert Barisan Nasional into a party open to all citizens. Let it be a multiracial party open to direct membership. Pakatan Rakyat will be forced to do the same or be left behind the times. Then we shall have the vehicles for a two party, non-race-based system.
If UMNO, MIC or MCA are afraid of losing supporters, let them get their members to join this new multiracial party. Pakatan Rakyat should do the same. Nobody need feel left out. UMNO members can join en masse. The Hainanese Kopitiam Owners’ Association can join whichever party they want, or both parties en masse if they like.
We can maintain our cherished civil associations, however we choose to associate. But we drop all communalism when we compete for the ballot. When our candidates stand for elections, let them ever after stand only as Malaysians, for better or worse.
