Pakatan demands explanation for BTN's only Malays can rule

Malaysia Chronicle

In a sign that pundits said only reflected the duplicity in Prime Minister Najib Razak’s 1Malaysia plan, the National Civics Bureau which falls under his department, continued to crank out racist propaganda aimed at shoring up Malay support for his Umno-BN coalition.

“From long ago, we have always stated that for Malaysians to take 1Malaysia seriously, the first agency to be dismantled must be the BTN," Beruas MP Ngeh Koo Ham told Malaysia Chronicle.

"But Mahathir objected and of course Najib didn’t do anything except promise that BTN courses would no longer contain racist references. But again, this has turned out to be another lie. Najib owes the nation an explanation. A clarification should be made by the BTN.

Only Malays can rule

At an Umno closed-door function on Monday, BTN deputy director Hamim Husin had made comments that suggested that only Malays had the right to rule Malaysia.

Hamim’s words comes hot on the heels of a warning by former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad that should the Malays support the Pakatan Rakyat led by Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim, then they would lose political power and suffer bullying by the other races.

According to Mahathir, the prime minister of Malaysia would then be Chinese or Indian or any other non-Malay ethnicity. His remarks drew immediate condemnation, but obviously not from Umno or Najib’s department.

“The rights of Malays, is to rule the country. Simple. Malays must unite in the face of threats,” Malaysian Insider reported Hamim as telling Puteri Umno delegates on Monday.

In an immediate response, DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang challenged the non-Malay components in the BN coalition to also demand an explanation from Najib.

“Will Tsu Koon, MCA, BN ministers demand that the Cabinet act against the BTN deputy director?” Kit Siang said on Twitter.

Reengineering UMNO's DNA

Ibrahim Ali, the Perkasa leader these days is behaving like a runaway train, carrying with it some deadly cargo threatening to cause mayhem and destruction to anyone trying to stop his Perkasa rambling from losing relevance and support from the only group it was set up to protect, the Malays.

He is like the Malay version of Don Quixite (an apology Miguel de Cervantes) to fighting imaginary opponents in his quest to be the modern Malay chivalry hero.

Known for snubbing everyone who questions his tactics, making demands and filing police reports at anyone who make disparaging remarks or question anything about the Malays and ranting like a raging bull if the police does not take immediate actions against person(s) they have filed police report, he is his quintessential self once again. This time against some of the big guns of UMNO, three in fact

His latest warning sans the keris, perhaps due to his respect for his own kind, is directed at Khairy Jamaluddin, Nazri Aziz, Tengku Adnan Mansor. Three Malay leaders who have been the strongest defender of the race and have been accused as 'racists' by the opposition is Ibrahim Ali's latest in his warning list.

And he has supposedly a secret weapon like many ex UMNO fellos have, not like some with boxes of dirty secrets too but still hidden somewhere including those who rejoined like a certain Ez-fello.

IA didn't exactly mentioned of boxes of dirty secrets of UMNO fellos but he did give a hint of similar such 'juicy' details that is only known within the UMNO circle. But he seemed to have hinted he got something even more 'juicy'.

"I can tell you who is Khairy Jamaluddin, Nazri Aziz, Tengku Adnan Mansor because I know their DNA. If I reveal their DNA then we will continue our fighting so let it stop here."

So how does one interpret such threats? DNA is something very intimate, something like knowing things beyond skin deep. Does it imply revealing all the dirt collected from the 'I scratch your back and you scratch yours!". A game that politicians play where each know their dirty secrets and have a hold on one another, like some kind of 'insurance' where the game is played along the rules 'if i scratch you back, you continue scratching mine too'. And the lid that holds all the dirty secret in, it this thing call 'power'. It's like a deck of cards, if anyone wink and one starts to expose the 'secrets', every card in that deck wobbles and a domino effect will happen!

The ball is now at these dynamic trio's feet, whether they will finch on IA's bluff or just ignore it simply because they don't have any DNA of interest to anyone, or they have just as much knowledge of IA's DNA to have the comfort that the 'scratching each other back's game will continue' and broken by IA.

Is that how Perkasa, an NGO tries to muscle itself into UMNO's territories, by this ransom kind of threat? This NGO seemed to be given full reign of behaving like a political party and UMNO seemed helpless to control them. Now the leader seemed to be holding onto the 'crown jewels' of any UMNO leader who is not giving it full support or disobey the UMNO leader who has not deserted Perkasa but given it tacit support.

So will these three leaders succumb to IA's DNA exposure and tow the line of the leader, no not UMNO's but rather Perkasa'?

Is IA"s threat for real so that noone derails his plan to make himself perhaps the new 'Hang Tuah' and defender of the Malay race?

IA's is a very smart and shrewd politician. Though many challenged him to form a political party to contest and prove that he has more Malay support for him and the party than UMNO or PKR, he knows his Perkasa will fade into oblivion in the election of he fails to win any seat. And it will vindicate the UMNO leaders that they are the rightful 'ketuanan' of the Malays and that Perkasa is a mere 'distraction' and an 'irritant' as the three leaders he threatened at sometime have remarked about Perkasa.

A good leader does not threaten or blackmail opponents to win support. If he uses that, he actually loses support and respect really. It shows you do not have the charisma and leadership and your ideas and vision are not shared by the audience you seek to influence to support you. And if you try to buy yourself to power as in money politics and corruption, or use blackmail because you are politically bankrupt of good ideas, you won't get support. Unless your supporters share your own DNA and support your dirty ways, the majority of self respecting BolehLand fellos will use their own conscience to decide for themselves. Like in the last GE12 as an example.

Perhaps the MACC or police may wish to ask our IA what DNA he is talking about? It can't be the good DNA because it will only reinforce the power of the three and decrease Perkasa's and IA. But it isn't bad stuff either because IA is not telling so it's unfair to speculate these three leaders are a wee bit or is a lot 'dirtier' than IAs!

In this round of 'who got the power and more influence UMNO than the Malay', IA seem to have the upperhand. He has defied logic, as he is able to even rewrite the proverbial 'killing three birds with just a drop of DNA'!

The odd thing about this DNA game is our IA and Perkasa who used to share the same DNA with the three leaders, is now grabbing these three by their 'crown jewel'.

Will IA's reengineering of UMNO's DNA lead to a cleaner UMNO by weaning off bad DNAs? Is UMNO needing a blood transfusion from Perkasa's latest surgical strike at their three core artery?

Who can stop this Perkasa Don Quixote train driver and his runaway "Rocinante" iron horse?

Reveal my secrets, Nazri dares Ibrahim Ali

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 27 — Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz has challenged Datuk Ibrahim Ali to reveal whatever secrets the Perkasa chief may have against him, in response to the latter’s warning to three Umno leaders to stop criticising Perkasa.

Ibrahim had singled out Nazri, Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Mansor and Khairy Jamaluddin in his admonition to politicians to stop lashing out at the Malay rights group or risk having their “secrets” revealed.

Nazri said that Ibrahim’s threats did not frighten him, but rather it had strengthened his resolve in opposing Perkasa’s brand of “racism.”

“I want Ibrahim Ali to reveal whatever secrets he may have against me. In fact, I dare him to. He better start revealing [these] soon, because I will continue to attack Perkasa and I will continue to fight him,” Nazri told The Malaysian Insider.

The minister in the prime minister’s department has been vocal in condemning Perkasa for what he deemed an erosion of Barisan Nasional’s (BN) support from the non-Malay electorate.

On Saturday, Ibrahim alleged at a Perkasa rally in his Pasir Mas parliamentary constituency that the three Umno leaders’ views of Perkasa differed from that of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s views.

“I know that these three Umno leaders are not talking on behalf of Umno’s president. I can tell you who is Khairy Jamaluddin, Nazri Aziz, Tengku Adnan Mansor because I know their DNA. If I reveal their DNA then we will continue our fighting so let it stop here.

“Don’t be angry at them. Don’t be angry at the government. We are gentlemen. If they want insult then let them,” he told the audience during the Perkasa rally attended by former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

Nazri, however, scoffed at Ibrahim’s latest remarks, dismissing it as the “rants of the Perkasa chief.”

“Does Ibrahim Ali even know what 1 Malaysia is about? If we don’t speak the same language as the prime minister then why are we supporting his 1 Malaysia concept? How is it that he knows more than me? Please,” said Nazri.

The outspoken Padang Rengas MP said that Ibrahim needed a reality check to understand the difference between running a government and operating an NGO.

“Who is in the Cabinet? Who sits on the Umno Supreme Council, and who is in Umno? Definitely not Ibrahim Ali.

“Reveal whatever you have then, please. Come on, I dare you to,” prodded the minister.

Nazri, along with Khairy and Tengku Adnan have all been reported as having spoken out against the Malay rights group.

Khairy had raised concerns that BN would lose non-Malay support if it does not immediately disassociate itself from Perkasa.

The Umno Youth chief said there was a perception now to affiliate Umno with Perkasa, and that this was “hurting” BN’s bid to gain non-Malay votes, which severely dwindled in the last general election.

Similarly, Nazri had declared that the Umno did not support or recognise the Malay rights group, saying Umno was against any form of racism and that Perkasa’s ideals did not fit in the Najib administration’s focus on plurality and unity.

Earlier this month, Tengku Adnan also recently said his BN counterparts had agreed that distancing the ruling coalition from Perkasa was the best way forward to halt the slide in non-Malay support for BN.

He added that Umno would not back the strident Malay rights group or Ibrahim in the next general election.

Tengku Adnan, however, subsequently denied stating that BN was distancing itself from Perkasa after Najib said that Umno did not want to stir conflict with any non-governmental organisation despite the recent move by Umno leaders to rebuff the Malay rights group.

The Mahathir-backed Perkasa is still seen by many as commanding significant support from within Umno as well as the Malay grassroots.
