Kaki Dalam Kasut – Tun Mahathir

Posted by Bryant

Foreign writer Bryant’s comments on Mahathir’s article : Kaki dalam Kasut where he says Chinese is the real master of Malaysia . This is a rational article written by a foreign observer in Malaysia.

The highly respected Tun,

WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER

China is coming up, India is coming up, Vietnam is coming up and now even Russia is on the rise. In this flat world that is all wired up and regardless whether we are Malaysian Malay, Chinese or Indian, and if Malaysia does not progress, all of us would become history of this country! Without the Malay, Chinese could not do well in the country and without the Chinese, Malay would not do well. Both have to work together to bring up Malaysia and mitigate the ascute impact that is being brought about by the globalisation.

For me, a true leader is someone who has the foresight that not only focus on one particular group in the country but take care of the future of everyone. A good leader is someone who know what is the biggest threat the country is facing and direct the people to fight off the threat.

A leader is also someone who is impartial that has the ability to promote harmony in the country for a long period of time.

UMNO MAKE MALAY FIGHT WITH NON MALAY

UMNO is a political loser that leads the country to nowhere. They do not understand what is going on the outside world. They have no clue where Malaysia will be in the next 30 years. With the 3 new superpowers, i.e Indian, China and Russia standing tall and high together with USA and the Europe Union, they do not know what kind of world it would be and how Malaysia is going to compete and share the ever smaller slice of cake of the world economy.

They only know how to get the Malays to fight with other Non-Malay on tiny issues within Malaysia , while the two races know jolly well that the issues they are fighting are trivial and is totally self-satisfying. UMNO does not give a damn to how the poor Malay is going to live in the future and they do not care about the real benefits of the poor Malays. They only want the votes from them.

The NEP is a good evidence on how they benefit the cronies, instead of the poor Malay.Despite all their despicable acts they are still in the power.

MALAY IS EVERYTHING IN MALAYSIA

As you are aware, the Malays control the rights to all the lands and all other natural resources in this country. They control all government institutions, GLC and State owned companies. The Malays dominate the lawmaking process in Malaysia ; The Malays control the decision making process in formulating the economy policies. The Malays own the largest national assets and the Malays are given shares in the public listed companies for free.

The Malays have also been given all kind of priorities when it comes to buying properties, awarding of public contracts, tertiary education opportunities, awarding of scholarships and even getting a job in government departments. With all these privileges and rights enjoyed by the Malays, you are saying nothing has been done enough to help the Malays to catch up with other races, mainly the Chinese. Then what else should Malaysia do to satisfy the Malays?

Did the Chinese seize or rob anything away from the Malays or all their wealth was a result of their hard work? If it is all due to their hard work, why do you say it is unfair? I don’t quite get your point here.

WOULD THE FOLLOWING MAKE MALAY HAPPY IN MALAYSIA?

May I humbly ask you what do you expect the Chinese to do if your so-called NEP did not achieve the desired result? Would the Malays be happy if the ethnic Chinese in this country do any of the followings:

surrender their assets and hard earned money to the Malays unconditionally;

-not to engage in any business activities;

-not to score As in all sort of examinations;

-not to make money that is more than the Malays are earning;

-not to advance to higher education; or

– renounce their citizenships and go back to China or migrate to some other countries?

WHY DIVIDE AND RULE IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY?

I am a foreigner but I am surprised that your intention is to divide your own country. I think you are mainly targeting the Chinese. Frankly, tell us, what do you expect the Chinese to do in order to achieve what is so called “equality” meant by you?

ARE JEALOUS OF LEE KWAN YEW ACHIEVEMENT?

Tun, after all these criticism you have against the present government, I feel that you are starting to lose your rationality on your arguments. You have run out of good reasons to convince us. I guess it could be due to your accumulating jealousy of Mr Lee Kuan Yew, your former counterpart in Singapore . But reality is always hard to accept. No matter how, you have to accept the fact that he is regarded the Father of Singapore but you are not regarded the Father of Malaysia; you have to accept the fact that Mr Lee is able to influence the government of Singapore until he the day he dies but you have not been able to influence the government from the moment you stepped down as PM.

You must also accept the fact that he is still very popular on the world stage and a leader respected by many but you are not quite. Because of these jealousies, you are starting to accumulate imbalances in yourself that lead you to embark on a series of action to attack your successors. It is very obvious that you are not happy when your successors are more popular than you.

Is there any good of doing that? What is your intention? Can’t you take it easy? During your time, you criticised most of the developed countries especially the Western Countries out of jealousy and after stepping down as PM you criticise every single soul remained in the cabinet for not listening to you.

When will you ever stop criticising any people?
Can’t you respect the decision of others?

IS THERE ANYTHING WRONG WITH CHINESE IN MALAYSIA?

Back to your recent blog, is there anything wrong with Chinese in this country? Did they seize or rob the money away from the Malays? Did they have the ability to come out with any policies to marginalise the Malays? Did they dominate the lawmaking process of this country? Did they formulate the economy policies in this country? Did they control the government departments in this country? Did they control the state owned companies and GLC in this country? Did they control the country’s largest oil companies and banks? You know the answer right?

WHO ARE MAKING THE LAWS IN MALAYSIA?

Malays are the one who dominate the the lawmaking process of this country; Malays are the one that formulate the economy policies in this country that favours the Malays. Malays are the ones that control the government departments, state owned companies and GLC. Malays are the one the control the funds in this country. Malays are also the ones that control the largest oil companies and banking industry in this country. With all these rights enjoyed by the Malays, what else do you want the Chinese to do?

Surrender their houses and savings and their wealth that they earned with their hard work to the Malays, for no reason? or ask all the Chinese to renounce their citizenship and go back to China ? Have you ever thought of after 30 years of implementing NEP, why it does not achieve the desired result? Don’t forget under the NEP there are a series of policies that favors the Malays. The obvious ones would be the distributions of APs and awarding of contracts.

IS THE CHINESE TO BLAME?

If with all these policies, it still does not give the Malay what they want, what else do you want the Chinese to do? Is the Chinese to be blamed because they are too hard working? Or the Malays to be blamed because they do not treasure the opportunities given? You know very well the NEP has been misused and it only benefits the cronies. So if you have designed NEP to only benefits the cronies, please don’t say it is the problem of Chinese that NEP does not achieve its result. It has nothing to do with the Chinese but NEP and the Malay themselves.

WE SHOULD NOT BE FIGHTING ONE ANOTHER – BUT WORK TOGETHER

This is a globalised world, Chinese and Malays should not be fighting against each other because Malaysia is competing with other countries. China used to be backward and lagging behind Malaysia but now they have caught up and have even surpassed Malaysia . Can we ask them to slow down their development? If they refuse to listen can we make a complaint to the United Nation that China is developing too fast and this is very unfair to Malaysia, which adapts a more a passive approach? Who give you the right to prevent others from progressing?

CONCLUSION – WE LIVE IN A FLAT WORLD

Who you think you are? This is a flat world (Obviously Tun did not read the book named “The World is Flat”). Don’t be so narrow minded to only focus on the Chinese or Malay in Malaysia . We should now look at the world as a flat world.

If Malaysia does not progress, no matter we are Malay, Chinese, Iban, Kadazan, Indian etc , we must work together or we would be extinct one day!

Change WE Must

Dayak Iban i truly lost of word for them. Their future look bleak! unless there is a miracle event happened to them or with the help of fairy God mother “Inek Manang” helps!

we can talk or as the Bee gees said in their song Word, ” Talks and everlasting ….”

Dalam hal ini pemangkin yang diperlukan adalah revolusi MINDA & KECEKALAN HATI yang akan mencernakan isu-isu seperti kaki dalam kasut, ketuanan melayu, DEB, Malay Rights, serta hak keistemewaan bumiputera sabah & sarawak jika ianya mempunyai pemberat pada dacing.

Kita mungkin bersuka-ria atau ketawa dalam blog ini terhadap isu-isu yang mengamit pemikiran semasa. Afetrall laughing is the best medi…..

Secara total adakah kita sedar khasnya masyarakat pribumi dayak yang mentaliti di bawah tempurung tidak praktik dewasa ini atau permaianan keistemewaan status bumiputera adalah iklan RETHORIC semata-2. Dalam bahasa pasar yang mudah saya tanya lu, apa lu suka status bumiputera kelas 2, lu dapat apa le…!

Dalam hal yang sama, atas kelemahan sendiri kita tidak boleh mengambil jalan pintas untuk meleraikan masalah universal yang dihadapi hanya kerana satu kaum itu berjaya dan menuding jari mengata-ngata seperti bala cina maju laban sida bisi association serta nipu dalam pengawa dagang.
laut laban ke megai perintah. dayak laban tulong apai saloi. This cluster is not an original curse or rather not Mission Impossible 4!

Dunia ini luas kepada yang berusha, Dalam Job Old Testament serta Jeremaiah a crying prophet banyak pengajaran jika anda meluangkan sedikit waktu utk menilainya.

Change WE Must are definitely words of, shall i say words of inspire for the New Dayak generation to face the Brave New World.

Keyakinan jitu, sahsiah dan rohaniah DIRI dan ideas mampan adalah tonggak”PILAR” untuk membentuk masyarakat dayak iban dengan ACUAN masyarakt MADANI seperti yang diperkatakan ole penasihat PKR Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim 12 tahun yang lalu iaitu semasa pembentangan bajet belanjawan tahun 1997.

Sebagai masyarakat dayak yang telah akil baligh dan bertanggungjawap, fikir-fikirkanlah perenggan di atas secara monologue atau berdailogue sebab manisanya ada selepas kepahitan or bitterness.

perihalnya sangat naratif dan memerlukan minda yang terbuka memahami PERSOALAN INDUK ianya tidak sesusah seperti sains fizikal utk difahami;
pHYSICS in the 20th century was built on the twin revolution of quantum mechanics which is a theory about MATTER and Einstein’s theory of time, space and gravitation known as relativity. Attempts to unify the two theories present formidable technical obstacles. Certain elements of these theories can cause confusion if brought together.

nama reti confusion nya ditu manang Empanggau, 2 iti theori nya sama enggau DL + DB = D(L+B).Lalu ngasoh bala iban konpifuse!

Tauka Einstein’s theory and quantum mechanics are basic theories of physics to …….dayak iban. may be PE can give some light?

Dear friends,

The writer has hit the nail on the HEAD. Tun Mahathir and the like should start at home, reuniting Malaysians that have drifted apart in the past 30 years. New imbalances have resulted and there is much dissatifaction among the rakyat.

Yes, all men are created equal. All malaysians are born EQUAL. When all malaysians are born and treated equal, Dayaks will rise be equal. Please think BIG, think like a true MALAYSIAN. Think EQUAL.

Forget about the past. Review the present situation. Malays are well ahead in many areas. The chinese is ahead in one area only, that is economic. Dayaks are is ahead in one area too, that is land.

Think like true Malaysians, think for all and each and every malaysian. Be a leader for all. Be a minister for all. Be a dayak for all.

Treat everyone as your asset.

God bless Malysia. God bless Sarawak.

Thank you, everyone.

Mahathir was supposeed the wiser & perhaps also the most powerful Prime Minsiter of Malaysia in history because he sat as PM for 22 years without any challenge whatsoever & everyone is afraid of him. He was in full control in actual fact but he failed miserably as a great leadership of Malaysia for 21st century. He had missed his chance foreverly. Today global world, Malaysia is in a MESSY position because he did not lead Malaysia eqaully well for all Malaysians. From education, National & States governance civil departments, racial & religious separation & conflicts, unemployments, low standard of living, white elephants projects, poor foregners investments, high nationa & states crimes, talents brain drains, illegal influx of foreigners, corruption & many more with etc etc… Therefore I can only conclude that he is actually an UNMO PM & all the Barisonal National conponent parties are just selfish & surrendered working under him like SLAVERY for 22 years! Any sitting Malaysia PM with very rich in National & States’ resources are capable of building any Mega-projects such like twin towers or Putra Jaya meaning/planning for 100 years. He had neglected Johor State growth & deveolpment cum economic prosperity for too long & that’s make JB is so poor & bad shape right next to the first world City State Singapore which was once as only a state in Malaysia with nothing in natural resource but human brains! He is afraid of Lee Kuan Yew at the expense of Johor State!

As a graduated doctor from Singapore by his nature & professional, I was ashamed when he once spoke in JB about just opening the water tap & let the water draining to the sea instead of supplying to Singapore. Even though he was at great joke he should not have said that kind soeech with evil intentive mind against Singaporeans afterall he is not a pure Malay either.
gerabusengkiong on November 24th, 2009 12:46 pm

I am really lost for word after reading the posting by this writer.Yes, even in Sarawak, the Malays whom our parents used to know from the colonial days, and were no better off than we Dayaks then, are so much more progressive today. Come to the major towns in Sarawak, and one can see the palaces where the Malays live on the outskirts of these towns, whereas 30 0r 40 years ago, one could hardly see a concrete Kampung house, even in Kuching. But if one cares to go to some Dayak kampungs, around Kuching city, like Tabuan Dayak, Stutong, Stampin, Sungai Tapang and Sungai Apong, to name a few,you’d be amazed to see the stark difference, compared to Malay residential areas mostly found in Petra Jaya area. Dayak populalation in Kuching city,are also found mostly in “low cost” housing estates, like RPR Batu Kawa, Taman Malihah and others.

The Malays also form an unfairly huge numbers in any governmenr departments,GLC, statuory bodies, throughout Sarawak. The Chinese own most of the big companies, head of big coperations and banks, apart from owning 99% of commercial properties. The Dayaks (especially the Ibans) are mostly employed by coffeeshops and shopping complexes (owned by Chinese), employed as semi-skilled workers or manual labourers in the construction industries, and security guards. If one happens to spot a Dayak (Iban) name on a shoplot’s signboard, it’s likely that it is a karaoke outlet.

I wonder what’s going to happen to the Dayaks thirty years or even less from now when all the other economies in this region have started to overtake the Malaysian economy. What has happened to the special rights of the indigenous people of Sarawak as enshrined in the state constitution? Are we still as equally Bumiputera as our Malay and Malanau friends with whom we went through thick and thin together right from the time of the Brooke rule, through Japanese rule and the British colonial rules, until we were finally independent in Malaysia?

I have yet to see such leader in Malaysia who is impartial. Racialism still prevails in Malaysia for a very long time to come. It’s well embedded in our BN Gov’t policy or philosophy of development (as Taib calls it).
