Mahathir panders to the racists

vox populi small thumbnail To this group of people, the only reason why their community is relatively “backward” in many areas is because other races took advantage of them.

On Dr M, who are the 26 percent?

26 percent: Racist comments by this elderly statesman are not the only worrying issue here. Look at the equally flammable comments and opinion by hundreds of his hardcore fans who share the same narrow view of this old fox in his blog.

They see him as a fatherly figure and would even address him as ‘Ayahanda’. They would seek “advice” and opinion from him, and would agree to every single view that the fox would offer them, even if he were to tell them that the moon is square.

To this group of people, the only reason why their community is relatively “backward” in many areas is because other races took advantage of them. They blame and generalise the 26% as “penipu”, selling liquor and “empat ekor”, involved in vice activities like prostitution and “Ah Long” business, etc.

The 26% become rich because they are not honest and cannot be trusted. For the handful of hardworking and honest 26%, they should “thank” and “show gratitude” to their “master” by not complaining or demanding too much.

They also wrote ridiculous comments about the little-country-down-south and how they “mistreat” the minority there with twisted facts and/or quoting some fiery statement from selected “deprived” individuals. They warned that Malaysia should not allow itself to become another little-country-down-south because of obvious reasons.

The little-country-down-south is also an "apostate" country which is full of “maksiat”, “injustice”, “immoral activities” and etc. Hence, the readers want other readers and others in their community to be cautious against the 26% who is also their fellow countrymen. The “enemy” is within the country, not from outside. To me, the enemy is inside their corrupted mind rather than anything else.

In essence, they would blame the whole world for any of their shortcoming except themselves. I believe there are many who share their narrow view because they do not read Malaysiakini or views from other “opposing” source. They only read and listen the mainstream media and would start to propagate their view and influence others.

Sad to say, some of the 26% I know also share the same view and would support that senile fox in whatever he said or did in the last 22 years. In fact, some of the 26% I know also believe that Beng Hock actually committed suicide rather than because of some other yet-to-be-known reasons!

On Abuse of power: Court clears ex-CCID chief

Maniam Sankar: If the former CCID director was discharged without even his defence being called, someone has messed up big time to prevent a good man doing a vital and honest job.

That police and the AG can botch up a job on such a senior officer shows a callous lack of principles and dereliction of duty. In addition, commercial crime was given leeway by taking out the top investigator.

If Ramli was subjected to a trumped-up and unsustainable charge, and the country was allowed to suffer commercial crimes unchecked as a result, surely somebody has acted against the national interest. That traitor must be made to pay.

And it can only be the IGP, as the departmental head, or the AG, as the prosecutor.

On 'Plot to topple Pakatan in S'gor'

KeepYourHead: It is a very shocking allegation to say BN is using state institutions such as MACC to topple the Selangor government.

MACC is set up to prevent and nab those abusing power. Now it is accused of abusing power to topple a state government elected by the people.

MACC must answer these questions:

Why is MACC so interested to investigate cows and car and RM2,400 expenditure of the Selangor MB when hundreds of thousands of dollars were spent on a trip to Paris Disneyland and a huge mansion built by the ex-MB. And what about the billions of dollars abused in PKFZ case?

Before letting the royal commission look into whether MACC has acted correctly or wrongly, shouldn’t MACC find out what went wrong in its organisation to ensure its impartiality?

If MACC can not answer these questions, then it is very clear what this institution has become - a tool not for the people but for Umno.

On Najib 'an iron fist in velvet glove '

CK: Chua Jui Meng has make the right decision to join PKR! I was present at the forum in Sunway Lagoon Hotel when he announced that he was quitting MCA and decided to join PKR. The "welcome" from the approximately 1,000 audience was perhaps the first time he got from people from the other side of BN!

He acknowledged that MCA members have never shown this kind of support throughout his 20 over years in MCA! Hands clapped many times during his first speech in the PKR platform.

I believe he will have more and more support in the coming weeks especially from his Johor state. I look forward to him helping Pakatan Rakyat to win over Johor state in the next election.
