YOURSAY | ‘You are not the Wan Saiful I knew and respected.’
Bobby0: It is not a question of whether a black or a white cat catches the rat; it boils down to race.
Sixty years of BN rule; what would you call that? If it was not a Malay administration managing the nation, then what was it, Bersatu leader Wan Saiful Wan Jan?
Look at the many years of Malay rule over Kelantan. Where does it stand after all these years? A state where there is hardly any foreign investment. A state where a lot of negative activities take place despite having many religious activities.
So what stability are you talking about, Wan Saiful? A nation ran by leaders who have emptied the national coffers and sold huge pieces of the nation to foreigners in order to cover up their criminal activities?
What stability, where having unsuccessfully managed a state, the government wants to bring this nation under laws that exist in the past and put fear in the hearts of the investors to the uncertainty that awaits them.
What stability can we get from a group of disloyal politicians who have betrayed their voters in their promise to fight corruption - to see them sitting at the same table with those charged and now watching them being set free?
What stability when the nation is being handed back to the same leaders that had ravaged and pillaged the Treasury?
Stop dreaming, Wan Saiful. The fact is that the poor Malays will pay a heavier price if these same individuals continue ruling the roost.
FairMalaysian: It is not about why only 25 percent Malays voted for Harapan. The right question Wan Saiful and Bersatu should ask themselves is - how many seats did they contest and how many were won?
They stood in 52 seats and won a paltry 12 seats - a meagre 23 percent, worse than the 25 percent Malays who gave their vote to Harapan.
There was this often invoked grump that the Malays got confused with the PKR banner, otherwise, Bersatu would have done better. So, let us see how PAS fared. Here is an exclusive Malay party. It contested in 157 seats but won only 18. That is a far worse than Bersatu - a mere 11 percent.
So, it begs the question why these Malay parties failed to get a bigger share of the Malay votes - because more than race and religion, there are a sizeable number of Malays who are good and decent people who dislike corrupted Malay leaders and want a fair deal for Malaysia.
They are Malay-Muslims no doubt, but they dislike leaders who are mired in corruption and who care for themselves more than they care for the people. They want leaders who don't steal from the people.
Foureye Man: Wan Saiful, there are many ways to consolidate your ‘Malay first’ ideology. But by putting all Malay-based parties under one Perikatan Nasional (PN) roof, you will create more problems for yourself.
After all, politics is a game of sharing. When all of the Malay parties are competing and sharing the same resources under one roof, you will fight among yourselves eventually, causing more harm than good.
Race-based politics is a dead end. It leads you no way.
Salvage Malaysia: Wan Saiful, you seem to be still a little wet behind your ears. Indeed, this is the calm before the storm. Once GE15 is called, my money is on Umno sidelining Bersatu. Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad is not wrong on this.
It’s just you guys with all your Ivy League degrees who seem to be blinded by reality. Umno will never allow Bersatu to contest anywhere near 50 seats. No way. When it comes to Malay support, Umno is an institution. Bersatu is nowhere near to this.
The thing is, Malays have realised that under Harapan, their livelihood was adversely affected. This, I can only blame former finance minister Lim Guan Eng for being penny wise, pound foolish.
As the question goes, you want a corrupted government but people have food on the table or a supposedly cleaner government but they go hungry? Common sense is that they will run back to Umno-PAS. So why should Umno compromise and make Bersatu stronger?
Goliath: This is the kind of propaganda that will continue to be spread to get Malay support. But I sincerely hope all our Malay friends are better educated to understand what’s behind the current government’s agenda.
Under PN, it is all about feeding the top-brass Malays and providing crumbs for the rest. There’s no sustainable change and no transformation, while corruption and power-hungry people run rampant in a society even more divided by racial and religious tensions.
The Malays may enjoy more attention from this government by directly feeding them with crumbs, but our democracy is in jeopardy and the laws are separated into two - one for the elites and one for the rest.
This country will not have a good future under PN. Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin may have fought for reform back then but he was in the Harapan coalition that supported the real agenda. At heart, he is still Umno. Every so-called leader in that party is being charged for corruption.
So, for the sake of the future of this beloved country, I really hope that all Malay readers here understand that Harapan is the only coalition that can save this country from disaster.
There’s enough evidence to show that Malays will always be a dominating factor for any Malaysian government. Do not let corrupt politicians and this man scare you off in support for the only coalition that can change Malaysia for the better.
GreenMacaw2035: There goes the plot again to hoodwink the Malays according to racial and religious divide, which was never ever threatened. Only desperate kleptocrats and crooks are threatened by a change in power.
The non-Malays do not want to rule Malaysia or lord over other races. We just want a government with universal values like integrity, meritocracy and corruption-free.
Ranjit Singh Malhi: You are not the Wan Saiful I knew and respected.
Our nation badly needs political leaders who don't rob the nation's coffers and ignore the rule of law. The future of our nation is at stake.
We need competent leaders with good character, irrespective of race, to steer the nation during these challenging times. - Mkini
