I am all for the Uighurs' right to claim Xinjiang, their historical homeland, from the barbarous Han Chinese state that has slaughtered the Muslim Uighurs at will in their annexation of their country. Perhaps Najib Razak and Umno, being diehard Muslims with links to extremist groups like Hamas, could adopt these Uighur Muslims and turn them into overnight citizens and enrolled to vote for Umno. After all, this is what Umno did in 2013 with the instant citizenship of illegal Indonesians. So why not extent the political charity this year to their Banglasdeshi and Uighur Muslim brethren and the Rohingya people? Isn't that what elections in Malaysia are all about: race, racism, bigotry, fundamentalism, extremis, lies, corruption, fraud, fraud and more fraud?
