KALAU SOROK, TENTU ORANG CINA

I picked this up from another blogger - http://www.goodworm.blogspot.com/
What he/she has written to makes sense in today's political situation.

"Racism runs very deeply in Malaysian society.
Not too long ago, I happen to stumble upon a conversation amongst some Malay colleagues in the company’s pantry.
In the heat of their conversation on retail hoarding, one of the exclaimed heatedly “Kalau sorok ! tentu orang Cina”.
Then there was these two seconds of embarrass silence when they suddenly realized that I was standing next to them.
What drives this 40 something year old overtly civil Malay colleague to stereotype Chinese as blood sucking, profit grabbing vampires?
The destiny of this nation has been molded by the sins of the past and present leaders of this country."

NEW ECONOMIC POLICY AND ISRAEL

Israeli forces boarded the Rachel Corrie yesterday after it ignored orders not to head for Gaza, but there was no repetition of the bloody violence that erupted when commandos stormed an aid boat earlier in the week.
The Israeli navy, whose actions on Monday triggered an international outcry, took control of the Rachel Corrie and sailed it to this port where it docked yesterday evening, the Israeli military said.
The military said in a statement: “19 people were on board the boat including eight crew, all of whom will be transferred to the appropriate authorities in the Interior Ministry.”

Contrast the 2 scenarios.
1. A Prime Minister who did what he had to do - to uphold his country understanding of security even when he faces tremendous pressure from the international community.
2. A Prime Minister who spoke with so much conviction and clarity when he first proposed the New Economic Model(based on recommendations by economic experts to make Malaysia more competitive internationally) but now crashes when he has to face-on with pressure groups from his own race.
Would you put your faith in a leader who "cracks-up" when the push becomes a shove?
Would you put your faith in that leader when the very future of his country and the well being of your family is at stake?

Pakatan Rakyat leaders have castigated Datuk Seri Najib Razak for not defending the New Economic Model (NEM) against its Malay critics, who claim it erodes their rights.
The prime minister had described the NEM as a “trial balloon”, saying the policy had yet to be finalised in his speech at the closing ceremony of the first Malay Consultative Council (MPM) congress held yesterday at the PWTC. The NEM will be tabled within the 10th Malaysia Plan this June 10.
Datuk Zaid Ibrahim ... said he did not know why people continued to expect so much of Najib.
“What has he done different from before? He hasn’t done anything,” he told The Malaysian Insider.
Zaid said he was not surprised at this development, citing the prime minister’s alleged failure at tackling subsidy reform and plugging leakages in government spending.
Zaid said he was unsurprised by the apparent capitulation.
“He’s not a strong leader. I don’t think he has the political strength [and] this is just one of those manifestations.

YOU CANNOT BRIBE GOD.

BN has sealed it's own fate.
The Church of Allah is unlike any secular or religious organizations in this planet we call earth.
The Church of Allah cannot be bribed.
You don't bribe Allah for everything belongs to Him.
You can't bribe God.

Four Sibu Methodist churches were given special grants totalling RM1.75 million from the federal government yesterday in the final hours of the by-election campaign.
The award was presented by a representative from the deputy prime minister’s office, according to a report in today’s The Sunday Post.
The money for the church was on top of the RM15 million promised to local schools and a RM5 million pledge by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak to alleviate flooding in Rajang Park if his candidate were to win in today’s election.
The Sunday Post report added that the money would be used for upgrading and extension works of church buildings in the city with a pre-dominantly Methodist population.



Muhyddin asked "Why are 80% of Malays in low income category?"
The question should be .....
"Why are 80% of Malays ( personally I know far too many ) still in low income category even though the UMNO run Federal Government has been ruling the country for the past 53 years?"
Let's talk about what has happened to Petronas profit?

DPM: Why are 80% of Malays in low income category?

KUALA LUMPUR: Malay entrepreneurs must evaluate critically and openly why 80% of Malays were in the lower income category, Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said.
He said they should be introspective and practice self-critism to grow.
“To succeed, we need to be introspective and practise kaizen, which means continuous improvement. Introspection must include the element of self-critism,” he said at the closing ceremony of the Malay Entrepreneurs Convention here Saturday.
