PM has ‘no eye see’ as Isma fires repeated salvos
YOURSAY ‘Where are you? Please do not play the fiddle when our country looks poised to plunge into an imminent racial and religious turmoil.’
Isma: Kit Siang wants to wipe out Malay race
Tholu: The nation is now fiercely embroiled in a free-for-all situation with certain Malays and Muslims seemingly allowed a free reign to viciously attack non-Malays and non-Muslims as they please.
With no action taken by the government leaders and the police despite the volatile and grave actions and words by these racial and religious extremists, one can only assume that Umno leaders themselves are the organisers and promoters behind all these unrest.
Since today’s Umno-BN is a far cry from yesteryears Umno-BN in term of popularity and support from the people, it perhaps could be engineering all these chaos to create some kind of political advantage for itself.
It could be attempting to create hatred among the Malays towards DAP, which is deemed by Umno as a Chinese party, and consequently weaken the opposition coalition.
PM Najib Razak, where are you? Please do not play the fiddle when our country looks poised to plunge into an imminent racial and religious turmoil.
Gerard Lourdesamy: How is socialism anti-Islam? Does that mean that capitalism is Islamic? Does that also extend to corruption and abuses of power? Are these now ‘halal’ in Islam?
Isma does not have the monopoly over virtue and you are not the sole interpreter of what is Islam. Do not be so arrogant to disguise your hate for non-Muslims while claiming to defend Islam.
Islam is all about social justice, equity and fairness. This seems lost in Isma's brand of Islam which is based on ‘Ketuanan Melayu’.
The DAP only defends the Constitution, the rule of law and fundamental rights when these are transgressed by the Umno-BN government, civil servants, police and the religious bodies.
The DAP is not anti-Malay and it has not questioned the fundamental provisions in the Constitution dealing with Islam, the Malay rulers, the Malay language and the special position of the Malays and the natives of Sabah and Sarawak.
The DAP only defends the rights of the people against the exercise of arbitrary power.
2 cents: I’m not too sure if socialism is in contradiction with Islam, but I'm sure this person from Isma doesn't understand the meaning of socialism.
If the advocacy of socialism means someone is anti-Islam, I'm afraid former PM Abdul Razak Hussein would also be labelled as such going by Isma's logic.
To start with, the New Economic Policy in its true form was a socialist venture before it was hijacked and turned into a crony capitalist mechanism by Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
Ambiga engages in tweet-for-tat over Isma
James TCLow: It is pathetic that fighting evil in this country is only left to a few political parties and even fewer individuals. Of course, former Bersih chief Ambiga Sreenevasan, towers over all of them.
Take a hard look at the nonchalant attitude of voters in Teluk Intan and all the ills of this country are laid bare before our very eyes.
The Malay voters will never change. Without an independent mind of their own, they will support BN until the end. The Indians have all forgotten about the one fighting for them is still languishing in jail.
The 'ever so smart' Chinese will trade anything for short-term gains. Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim is right, these are the stupid Chinese.
Basically: Ambiga is one of the rare few Malaysians who care about the country and the people, and who act solely on this impulse.
The rest, like all the so-called NGOs and politicians, do what they do for fame and fortune by gratifying those in power.
If there should ever be a power shift, I wonder how many of them would make a U-turn and start singing praises of multiracialism and universal rights.
Their principles only go where the money leads them. This we can see aplenty from academics to artistes to sportsmen and even mullahs.
BTN: Isma is just like Perkasa. It has a disease called Malay Dilemma. They have no confidence to face the globalised world and always feel threatened when they are confronted with people who work harder than them and are reaping the benefit of their hard work.
Anonymous #40538199: As the days of implementing GST (Goods and Services Tax) and withdrawal of fuel subsidies are drawing closer, expect Isma to get more aggressive in creating racial or religion hatred amongst various races in the country in order to divert the rakyat attention from the pain of rising cost of living.
MalInd: For heaven's sake, who is attacking the Malays? And why do the Malays need protection? Isma makes them seem incapable and weak. We are all Malaysians and not stupid.
Oriole: It's a chemical imbalance in the brain which leads to delusional behaviour and paranoid attacks. In most other countries, these clowns would be locked up in one institution or the other.
Here these chemically challenged are being employed by their masters to carry out their dirty job. These fellows should be ignored.
Most countries have such nut jobs, now we have ours. Ignoring these barking bozos is the best response rather than dignifying their mindless drivel with an attempt at civilised debate.
Casey: “Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools."
This articulate expression of Lord Byron about bigots and fools can't be more aptly applied to these brainless leaders from Isma and Perkasa.
