Same old song: Malay Unity, but pitching lari la.

I just came over from Shah's Takonly blog and what he wrote here is exactly what I feel. Let me tell you. Shah is an angel and an angel doesn't lose his cool for nothing. He has every right to lose his head like that because of the current state of affairs. I strong feel you should read his post for yourself. Whether you agree or disagree is another matter, this is after all a democratic country.

Now let me tell you about how I personally feel about what these Ameno people are up too. I saw on tv about how a certain division, Bandar Tun Razak, if I am not mistaken talked about the need for Malay Unity at this crucial moment. Crucial they say? Crucial for who? For the Malays or for UMNO?

I still remember many years ago about how UMNO did the same thing and persuaded the late Uz Fadhil Nor to sit with them to discuss. The good Uz stood to the point of Malay unity and never in his speech was any attack or insinuation made at UMNO. It was plain Malay Unity and then that evil man, sorry he deserves to be called that, Mahathir made his speech and he was hitting at PAS at every chance he had. That idiot was and still is not a gentleman at all. Malay unity in his eyes then was the perpetuation of UMNO's dirty struggle to enrich their cronies and kins.

Lets get back to the present time. UMNO is screaming Malay unity again. If they claimed that only 5 percent of Malays swung their votes from BN to the opposition so what is the big deal about calling for Malay unity. It should be MIC and MCA who should be shouting this battle cry, not UMNO.

Let me tell you why. It's not 5 percent, they know it and we know it. They know that after discounting the fraudulent use of phantom voters and postal votes, the actual figure is actually alarmingly high.

Does Malay unity mean that Malays must unite to vote for one party only? If it means that then which party is it? Must it be UMNO? Why not PAS? No, it doesn't mean that at all. The Malay unity that they are concerned about concerns Power, Money, more Power and more Money.

Do they really care about whether the Malays are united. They were not bothered about it when a significant number of Malays voted them in into power. They were not bothered when PAS only got some votes here and there and managed to rule only one state. They were not bothered when the youths of Kelantan started to venture out in search of job opportunities because they (UMNO led government) had denied Kelantan the opportunity to develop by systematically denying Kelantan all her dues. They were not bothered when they saw continuity in the flow of the Ringgit into their already bloated pockets and bank accounts.

Now they scream that the Malays are not united. They are scared shit of what will happen when the impossible becomes possible. The destruction of UMNO was once unthinkable to them but is now a distinct possibility. This scares the hell out of them not because they love UMNO as a political party for the Malays, but because UMNO guarantees them a free passage to rob, rape and plunder.

Boys and girls, just be good and accept what is coming. The Malays would still be united, there's no doubt about it, but you would be poorer, thats all. Save your voice, don't shout yourself course, just sit down and learn to live within your means. You would definitely not die of poverty, because the Malays from the other side of the divide would help you.
