TUN DR MAHATHIR’S MESSAGE TO THE MALAYS


Mahathir The Great


WITH RIZ KHAN ON ALJAZEERA.

I’m not relaying the whole of yesterday’s interview in this posting, but only the message that I thought Tun was sending to us in his classic fashion

“ There is no Ketuanan Melayu because the Malays are the underdog. I keep on telling the Malays that if you are a driver or a shoe-polisher, you are not the Tuan. The man paying you is the Tuan. So if the Malays want to be a Tuan, they have to be successful, be wealthy, own Rolls Royces and then the driver will call him Tuan. I had a Chinese driver once and he called me Tuan. “

Good Heavens Tun! God forbid, you might be hauled up for SEDITION for saying the last sentence! After all, they are the “Untouchables”.

Is there anybody among the UMNO second liners who calls anyone Tuan outside of the Party? If there is none (yeah right!), then please behave like we expect you to in the name of Islam, the Malays and the Country.

Assalamualaikum TPJ,

Saya betul2 tersentuh dengan posting terbaru TPJ kali ni...

Actually ini bukannya kali pertama Chua Soi Lek mengeluarkan statement pasal ketuanan melayu.Semasa pemilihan MCA dulu,sudah berapa ribu kali benda ni disebut oleh beliau.Itulah antara sebab yg dia boleh menang wpun moralnya amatlah menjijikkan.

Sebagai seorang Melayu yang hidup secara sederhana,saya langsung tak merasa sebagai tuan w'pun di bumi sendiri.Saya amat bersyukur kerana keajaan amat prihatin dan tak pernah mengabaikan orang Melayu untuk belajar ke peringkat tertinggi.Tapi bila masukke alam pekerjaan,inilah realiti yang perlu di tempuh.Lihat sahajalah disekeliling kita siapa yang menguasai ekonomi.Di shopping2complex,berapa kerat kedai yang disewa oleh orang Melayu kita.Kalau adapun,selalunya di pulau oleh non-malay.Tak percaya go and look for yourself.Sedihlah nak cerita TPJ.

Next let's look at companies seperti Citibank,Hong Leong Bank,Public Bank dan OSK Investment Bank(just to name a few).Berapa kerat orang Melayu yang memegang jawatan yang tinggi ataupun di level decision making.Boleh kira dengan jari.Pada mereka,orang Melayu ni boleh kerja di level kerani cabuk ajelah.Nak dpt promotion pun amatlah susah.Yang lebih menyedihkan,gaji dan bonus pun ada beza yang ketara antara malay dan non malay.Ini adalah realiti yang menyedihkan TPJ..

So apa yang kecoh sangat ni wahai MCA dan non malay?apa tak cukup lagi ker?kenapalah sait hati sangat dengan sedikit kelebihan orang2 Melayu seperti diskaun beli rumah(ni REHDA dah berapa kali minta mansuhkan)dan kuota 30%DEB.

Come to think of it,we should taget or more than 30%..Why not go for a higher number?

Any thoughts

I think he meant 'tuan' in the literal sense, when we are looking at the 'ketuanan melayu' in a wider scope.

Dun blame him. Age is catchin up!

sfso@pulaijb,

Terima kasih kerana menziarah dan Selamat Datang ke ruangan kami.

Sememangnya benar bahawa keadaan semasa sudah menjadi "terbalik coat", kalau di pinjam istilah zaman Ayahanda saya.

Sekarang jika ditinjau di ruang mencari kerja didalam suratkhabar, ada juga yang sudah berani mewajibkan bahasa Mandarin sebagai syarat memohon jawatan.

Nampaknya sindrom bisu pemimpin-pemimpin kita diatas dasar setiakawan telah menyebabkan kaum ini melamapaui batas.

Sudah tentu Chua Soi Lek tahu bahawa ianya akan menjadi isu jika di sebut-sebut lagi tentang Ketuanan Melayu ini. Namun demikian beliau teruskan juga kerana hendak menjolok sarang tebuan. Rupa-rupanya bukannya sarang tebuan, tetapi sarang pondan yang di jolok. Kerana tindakbalas terhadapnya adalah hambar.

Apa lagi yang mereka mahu? Apabila perkara ini timbul dahulu, dan Keris di hunus oleh Hishammuddin, beliau telah pun mengeluarkan peruntukan khas beratus ribu ringgit untuk sekoloah Cina apabila rombongan Pemuda MCA berjumpa dengannya kononnya kerana hendak meredakan keadaan.

Tak cukup dengan itu, Hishammuddin Ketua Pemuda UMNO yang sekarang ini berhasrat pula hendak menjadi Naib Presiden UMNO dengan bodohnya memohon maaf kepada kaum Cina kerana menghunus keris di dalam Persidangan Pemuda UMNO. Ini dibuatnya setelah pilihanraya umum selesai dan tiada makna lagi sebab itu perbuatan ini saya sifatkan sebagai "bodoh". Beliau lupa agaknya tentang peruntukan yang beliau hulur kepada sekolah Cina dahulu diatas sebab dan perkara yang sama seolah2 memohon maaf dua kali kepada kaum ini.

Kita harus tahu bahawa tabiat kaum ini adalah untuk mendapat yang terbaik dan terbanyak dari apa yang boleh mereka perolehi sehingga melebihi batasan. Inilah cara mereka di dalam ekonomi yang mereka kuasai, dan inilah cara mereka untuk menyerap kuasa politik yang kita hampir kehilangan kini.

Kemungkinan besar sifat bacul sesetangah pemimpin-pemimpin yang tunduk pada mereka adalah kerana kekayaan mereka itu telah diraih melalui saluran kaum ini.

Allahu Alam.

VersedAnggerik,

Tun usually has a hidden meaning when he says something.

He was provoking the Malays to do better in life and poking fun at the rest for not knowing their place in the landscape of this country.

Unknown said...

Knowing Tun the chinese driver may call him Tuan but the rest like the wannabe chinese towkays, wannabe indian businessmen, and malay wannabe billionaires call him 'Sir' not Tuan, not Datuk Seri...A taste of British liking may i say! And yet when he came to power buy British last!

TPJ said...

Parameswara,

Greetings and welcome to the blog.

If my memory serves me right, someone very close to the Tun related the reason for him to treat the British in that manner.

When Tun Razak, while holding the office of Prime Minister died in Britain, there was not one British official at the airport to see the remains back to Kuala Lumpur.

This showed the British's disrespect for not only our Prime Minister then, but also for the country they once ruled over.

They needed to be taught a lesson, but Tun had to wait until he became PM to grant them that "courtesy". When Tun declared "Buy British Last", the British High Commisioner went to see him and was made to wait for hours to no avail.

Then Thatcher made much sincere effort to cement the crack by which time damage had already been done to their economy because we were looking east, and so were sonme others who were by a small measure influenced by the great Tun.

This act by Tun showed his deep respect for Tun Razak and disgust with the way the "Mat Sallehs" were treating people of "the orient."

It worked and due respect was given to this country beginning then.

Your sidebar questionaire/polling is interesting but should be 'Siapakah yang paling layak untuk menjadi/akan dipilih sebagai BADUT2 di Majlis Kerja Tinggi UMNO Malaysia' And it shouldn't be restricted to President, Deputy, or Vice only but include the contestant for the 25 Ahli2 Majlis Tinggi...! Perhaps for the Ahli2 Majlis Tinggi the polling should read as 'Siapakah yang paling layak untuk menjadi/akan dipilih sebagai PATUNG2 di Majlis Kerja Tinggi UMNO Malaysia'.

TPJ said...

TeMagi

If you notice, there's one for "yang paling layak" and there's one for "yang akan di pilih."

Knowing the delegates and their voting culture from my experience, "Yang paling layak" doesn't necessary mean he "akan di pilih".

I don't know about the coming members but the current ones are as you rightly pointed out, "Baduts" and "Patungs". It had to take us to do their jobs for them, ie do the right thing for UMNO while they sucked up tpo the Prez.

After this, when Pak Lah no longer sits there, watch out for these same baduts whack him without mercy.

I beg to differ to your comment on Mahathir's treatment of the Brits. His treatment of the Brits is due to the ff:
1. He did not get a scholarship from the British to study in U.K. which was the in thing for bright students than with the exception of the royalties ofcourse. Instead he got to go to S'pore to do medicine. He felt discriminated because the scholarship to U.K. was for the Malays, those days the term bumiputra was not coined yet! This made him upset.
2. By buying 'British last' he made sure that all the businessmen holding agencies for the British companies kowtow to him and not to Razaleigh and the former administration of Hussein Onn
3. Try recalling the time when he lifted the 'embargo', who was the biggest beneficiary...remember Arumugum. The government made a huge arms deal with the Brits through this guy. Another notable figure then was Ananda.
Since you were young than perhaps you can ask your elders in the party circles.
4. And whilst 'looking east' who do you think benefited?

If anyone would be upset with the the Brits for not being courteous with Razak's demise in London it would be Hussein Onn, not only did he succeed as prime minister but more importantly he was the brother in law of Razak. Mahathir may have many reasons for imposing 'British last' but certainly one of them was not because of their treatment to Razak.

TPJ said...

Parameswara,

I am not privy to items 1-4 but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

While I'll take your version in I'll also take mine to be authentic as it was related to me by one of his closest confidant and was attested to by two different parties from those days. Furthermore I'm quite satisfied with it in addition to yours.

Hussein Onn didn't know diddly squad. He was a weak leader not unlike the current one and served almost the same length of time as the latter will have by March
2009. Hussein Onn, despite being related by marriage to Razak, didn't have the courage to stand up against the Brits, unlike Mahathir. His leadership qualities reflects very well with his son, the Vice Presidential candidate which is nothing much to shout about.

As far as beneficiaries to govt policies are concerned, which leader doesn't have one?

We opted for a well known God fearing Mr Clean and where did that get us?

I thank you for the added information nonetheless. There is much you can tell us on the past and we value it.

Al-Fatihah for Tun Razak and Tun Hussein. May their souls rest in peace.

Weak Hussein produced a weaker Hishamuddin, think abt it orang Johor!

Najib have no balls.

This is what feudelism culture applied into democrasy produce: Weak off spring!

Hope Mukhriz is an exception. He has potential.

Asm TPJ,

I'm disgusted with the people who
whenever they call malay of being racist and reject the idea of malay supremacy they end up exposing the racism in themselves..

I feel ashamed especially to my mother when watching the news or reading daily newspaper,there are so many stories,comments about non malay leaders from BN and PR thrashing UMNO and the Malays in general.They don't attack the Malays directly as general but paint the bad image solely on UMNO although their target is the whole Malays poplation(as if we didn'tknow).

I would like also for the government to set-up a badan pemantauan especially on the chinese newspaper and chatroom where there are worryig trends to portrait hatred again UMNO and the Malays...

TPJ said...

That is the responsibility of the Home Ministry. There should be a section that reads all the dailies of all languages.

The problem is, they probably couldn't find a Malay who can read the Sin Chew and the rest. The Chinese translater wouldn't devulge the real deal because their struggle is stronger for their race than the Malays for ours.

Sadly, it is proven that the Malays would sell their soul for money and power. They have no qualms about snitching on each other which you wouldn't see in the Chinese.

I have suggested this to the Minister. We should go with the Singapore way of dealing with extreme bloggers. It's best not to detain a recalcitrant blogger or journalist at all than to detain him for a month only for him to come out being treated like a living martyr by the public.

We have to make sure that if we have to we send them in, when they come out, they are rehabilitated, not get worse making us look silly.

TPJ said...

Anonymous,

Hussein Onn may have been weak, but he had a strong, no nonsense Home Minister. The ISA "resort" was full then.

As far as his son goes, I don't want to waste my breath.

Sometimes looks and appearance can deceive people. Some people can look tough and have a 7 dan black belt but in reality is a wimp.

Mukhriz looks timid but his struggle for the Malays is incomparable. This is where he saparates himself from the current Youth Chief and the other wannabes.

KETUANAN MELAYU ATAU KEHAMBAAN MELAYU.

Saya tertarik dgn apa yang dituliskan oleh tpj dan komenter semua. Pada saya istilah ketuanan melayu telah kita gadai sebahagiannya apabila kita bersetuju memberi kewargenegaraan kepada kaum pendatang khususnya dari tanah besar cina yang pada asalnya adalah buruh bijih timah dilombong Long Jaafar dan kaum india yang dibawa oleh penjajah British untuk berkerja diladang getah. Kita jauh berbeza dgn negara jiran iaitu Indonesia untuk menuntut kemerdekaan. Jika diamati betul2 walaupun ekonomi di indonesia dimonopoli kaum cina tetapi mereka tidak berani mempertikaikan apa jua yang dibuat oleh pemerintah walaupun kita lihat mereka begitu kaya, mengapa?

Apa yang ada pada orang melayu dimalaysia hari ini jika payung yang memayungi bangsa melayu telah pun dirobek oleh orang melayu/mamak (sukusakat dato mandaliar) sendiri sehinggakan keturunan bangsa pendatang berani mempersoal hak keistimewaan orang melayu.

Kita tidak seharusnya melatah atau menyalahkan apabila keturunan pendatang mempersoalkan kedaulatan melayu tetapi seharusnya mengali serta mencari jalan untuk memperkasakan kedaulatan melayu. Ruginya kita jika bangsa melayu yang kaya dengan bidalan tidak menggunakannya.

Contoh:

1. carik-carik bulu ayam lama-lama bercantum juga

2.air yang dicincang tidak akan putus

3.bulat air kerana pembentung bulat manusia kerana muafakat

Sebagai bangsa melayu kita sangguup untuk berkongsi apajua yang kita nikmati tetapi kita tidak rela apabila keistimewaan dan Raja Raja melayu dipertikai.Tetapi jika difikirkan kembali apa yang yang dinyatakan oleh mahathir jauh tersasar apa yang dilakukanya semasa menenjadi PM Malaysia.

Contoh:

1.menghapuskan sebahagian kekebalan raja raja melayu secara mengaibkan

2.memberi kerusi parlimen dan dewan undangan negeri yang mejoritinya orang melayu kepada bukan melayu atas nama kuota.

Akhirnya Ketuanan Melayu seharusnya kita tukar dengan KEDAULATAN MELAYU supaya tidak perlulah kita mempunyai pemandu atau tukang kebun dari bangsa asing (cina, india, bangladesh, indon, nepal...dll.) yang pentingnya kita dihormati dan disanjungi atas nama bangsa melayu.

"TAKAN MELAYU HILANG DIDUNIA" TETAPI MELAYU AKAN HILANG MARUAHNYA APABILA PEMIMPIN-PEMMPIN MEREKA MUDAH LUPA

FIRMAN ALLAH:

"ALLAH TIDAK AKAN MERUBAH NASIB SESUATU KAUM MELAINKAN KAUM ITU SENDIRI MENGUBAH NASIBNYA".

TPJ said...

Parameswara,

Thank you for your comments. Tepat sekali kenyataan Tuan. Tetapi jika di perhatikan, walau Ketuananke, Kedaulatanke, tidak ada pembelaan yang sempurna yang dibuat selain dari amaran se ringan kapas oleh pemimpin2 kita supaya perkara ini jangan disentuh.

Walaubagaimanapun, ada juga langkah2 yang baik yang dibuat oleh RTM dengan cara merombakkan program2 yang menunjukkan adalah sedikit unsur2 ketuanan/kedaulatan Melayu dinegara ini.

Di harap kementerian2 lain menurut langkah mereka.

Kedaulatan Melayu bunyinya lebih tepat tetapi diharap mereka2 yang dianggap sebagai payung kepada Bangsa Melayu lebih2 lagi yang menggundikkan bangsa lain ini jangan terlalu hendak membela nasib mereka2 yang tidak langsung mempertaruhkan nyawa dan raga untuk mempertahankan Kedaulatan Melayu semasa Malayan Union dahulu.
Keistimewaan yang mereka harungi pada hari ini adalah dari titik peluh dan pengorbanan orang kita yang sayang kepada mereka.

Allahu Alam.

salam TPJ dan SFSO@pulaijb

perasaan dan pandangan seperti ini lah yang memulakan bibit-bibit rusuhan di INdonesia di antara pribumi dan kaum cina.

Semoga Allah jauhkan negara dari rusuhan.kita bawa ke meja rundingan.kalau betul dah tak boleh runding lagi barulah "we go to war" "Hell yeahhhhhh"
