YOURSAY | 'Help Malaysia first before talking about Rohingya'

Najib, Hadi to attend Rohingya gathering, opposition invited

Anonymous_1390303981: First of all, I condemn the ongoing ethnic killings irrespective of who started it or who is right. At the same time, our Malaysian government has prioritised Middle Eastern refugees over Asian refugees such as the Rohingya, and that stinks.

If these leaders are sincere then they would get the Malaysian government to boycott the Myanmar government and impose sanctions. So you see, there is a lot of politics here.

David: Clean up our own backyard first lah, before championing another country's problem. Put the red shirts on a leash for threatening to draw blood from your fellow Malaysians.

Malaysians are suffering from rising cost, thanks to massive corruption by MO1. Channel your efforts in helping poor folks in Kelantan, Sabah and Sarawak for a start.

Rick Teo: Our country is in disarray. Our currency is on a freefall. Help our country and its people first before trying to help others.

Malaysians are suffering from high food price and unjust GST taxes and the government is trying to be charitable towards citizens of other countries. Charity should first begin at home.

Negarawan: PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang is such a hypocrite. Orang Asli homes and livelihoods have been destroyed by massive illegal logging under the PAS state government in Kelantan.

Hadi has totally ignored the plight of the Orang Asli. He is now playing the religious card in the Rohingya issue, but can't even fix the humanitarian issues in his own backyard.

PAS is nothing more than a corrupt political party that is using religion as a front for its campaign.

Vision2020: Prime Minister Najib Razak does not practice what he preaches. He is telling USA not to get involved with his close relationship with China but he himself sticks his nose into the affairs of Myanmar.

Cops ask four-day remand for Zunar, get one day

Mushiro: Now they have arrested a cartoonist to try to save Najib.

And earlier they had sacked a deputy prime minister, sacked a minister, sacked attorney-general Abdul Gani Patail, sacked the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief, deputy public prosecutor Kevin Morais ended up dead, dismantled the special task force probing 1MDB and many more.

But they have not arrested a single relevant suspect like businessman Jho Low or Najib's stepson Riza Aziz.

Putang: If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. All politicians are public figures, your actions and private lives will be scanned with a fine toothcomb. Rightly or wrongly your actions speak for itself.

If you feel you can't be criticised, then don't be a politician.

Anonymous #69337042: What about the rascals that smashed Zunar's art exhibition at Komtar? Are they untouchable? Why arrest people who criticise the corrupt and incapable regime?

GPMS says 'no' to UEC recognition in front of Najib

Non-evader: How about the international schools? Their curriculums are "ciplak" (copied) from the Western Christian countries and most likely contain contents that are against your religion. Why are they are allowed to proliferate?

Iiiizzzziiii: When it comes to education, do you think Gabungan Pelajar Melayu Semenanjung (GPMS) president Zambri Mohd Isa has the expertise to make a judgement call based on merit without any political motives?

What does he know about Chinese education?

Heck, he probably does not even read nor write Chinese. And what is the difference between patriotism and racism? Malays are referred to as bumiputera, and their privileges cannot be questioned.

Despite all the adverse conditions they face, the non-Malays still contribute to the nation, but the brain drain has been rampant, even more so at present. So, Zambri, before you open your mouth please think first.

Gerard Lourdesamy: Abolish the matriculation examination in Mara junior science colleges and let the STPM be the sole entrance examination for all public universities.

Why do we need two different entry examinations for our public universities based on the national education system? The GPMS is still advocating its ketuanan Melayu policy despite 60 years of independence.

If they really believe in national unity then allocate 30 percent of places in Mara to the non-bumiputera.
