And whose fault is this?


 
So, no, whatever is happening in the country is not Umno’s fault. It is not the fault of the Malays or the Muslims either. It is the fault of the non-Malays and the non-Muslims from West Malaysia and East Malaysia who collaborate with Umno to deny Malaysians their right to think and their right to express what they think.
THE CORRIDORS OF POWER
Raja Petra Kamarudin
(The Malaysian Insider) - Following attacks on Nurul Izzah Anwar for her statement that allegedly supports religious freedom, the PKR vice president today said she is ready to give her statement to the Selangor Islamic Affairs Department (JAIS).
The Lembah Pantai MP also said she will take legal action on those who had hurled accusations against her, and will leave the issue to the country’s legal system.
“I’m ready (to be called by JAIS)...(but) on lawyer’s advice, I will take legal action,” she said.
*****************************************
(The Star) - Police have re-arrested a 27-year-old man alleged to have posted insulting remarks on hisFacebook page against the Johor Sultan.
State police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Mohd Mokhtar Mohd Shariff said the suspect was detained again after police failed to get an extension on the first remand order from the court.
He added that police have opened two investigation papers against the suspect.
*****************************************
(The Malaysian Insider) - The Johor police have started criminal defamation investigations against The Malaysian Insider and Malaysiakini for their coverage of last week’s arrest of a man who allegedly insulted the Johor Sultan on his Facebook page.
Johor CID deputy director Asst Comm Nor Azizan Anan said the probe was following two police reports lodged by state police on articles carried by the two news portals regarding the arrest, Berita Harian reported today.

You have read the three news items above, right? Now, in case you do not yet understand what is going on in Malaysia, allow me to enlighten you a bit. I know that many Malaysians are brain-dead so unless I help walk you through the issue this whole thing would be lost on you.
The issue is simple, really. When the mainstream media reports that you said something, you are in deep shit. Action will be taken against you super-fast. You might say that the mainstream media lies, it never tells the truth, it cannot be trusted, and so on. That will still not save you from the long arm of the law.
Hell, I should know. When the mainstream media reported that I had made an allegation against ‘First Lady’ Rosmah Mansor regarding her alleged involvement in the Altantuya Shaariibuu murder, I was arrested and charged in court. The fact that I never made such an allegation but actually said that someone else (Lt. Kol. Azmi Zainal Abidin) had made that allegation did not save me. If the mainstream media said I said it then I said it. Plain and simple!
Then when I gave an interview with the mainstream media to explain what happened and I stressed that I was arrested and charged for something that I did not do (meaning I did not make any allegation against Rosmah Mansor), the mainstream media reported that I had done a U-turn and that I now withdraw the allegation. And that got me into a heap of other problems.
So, can we believe the mainstream media or can we not believe it? In my case the mainstream media report was to be believed. Then I suppose in all those other cases the mainstream media reports are to be believed as well.
You have to make up your mind. Do you accept what the mainstream media says or do you not? One day you appear to accept what they say and the next day you reject what they say. In short, you accept and reject things at your convenience. It is no longer about the truth. It is about what fits in to your agenda.
Okay, never mind, whether the mainstream media lied or not is not as important as the next issue. And the next issue is that Malaysia does not allow freedom of thought, freedom of opinion, freedom of expression, etc. So that means you are not allowed to think and certainly not allowed to say what you think. Doing so is a crime and you can get arrested, put on trial, and sent to jail.
And there are certain taboos or sacred cows that if you ‘touch’ you will get into trouble. The Monarchy/Rulers, Islam, the Muslims, Malay privileges, the National Language, etc., are at the top of this taboo list. You ‘touch’ these issues and you die.
Okay, now tell me, whose fault is this? Yes, that’s right, it’s the fault of Umno. It’s the fault of the Malays. It’s the fault of the Muslims. Am I correct?
Hmm…I can just imagine most of you reading this now jumping up and down excitedly like what the Malays would call ‘kera kena belacan’.
Actually, that is not right. No, it is not the fault of Umno, the Malays or the Muslims. How can it be Umno’s fault, or the fault of the Malays or the Muslims? I mean, do you really think that Umno, the Malays, or the Muslims, have ABSOLUTE political power? They don’t. And look at the four graphics below to see what I mean.
The first graphic shows that out of 505 state seats contested in the 2008 General Election, BN won 307 and PR won 197. In the Sarawak State Election last year (graphic number 4), BN won 55 seats against only 15 by PR and one independent.
Now, out of a total of 362 state seats won by BN, how many were won by Umno? In Sarawak, not a single seat was an Umno seat.
Look at the pie chart (graphic number 2) and the third graphic. Umno controls only about one-third the seats in Parliament, which it won with less than 30% of the popular votes. How can Umno be in power with only one-third the seats and less than 30% of the votes?
Okay, for the benefit of those of you who are brain-dead -- and there are a lot of those types of people readingMalaysia Today -- Umno DOES NOT have ABSOLUTE political power and it CANNOT form the government with only one-third the seats and less than 30% the votes.
So, no, whatever is happening in the country is not Umno’s fault. It is not the fault of the Malays or the Muslims either. It is the fault of the non-Malays and the non-Muslims from West Malaysia and East Malaysia who collaborate with Umno to deny Malaysians their right to think and their right to express what they think.
Am I angry with Umno? Of course I am not. Umno is a political party. It is the job of a political party to exploit any issue that can be exploited for political gain. That is what politics is all about.
Umno does not hide the fact that it is a party that upholds Ketuanan Melayu and that it will not tolerate anyone who comments unfavourably on issues related to the Monarchy/Rulers, Islam, the Muslims, Malay privileges, the National Language, etc. Umno is honest about its ‘struggle’. So why get angry with people who are honest about what they are and then demonstrate that they are honest about what they are?
The people I am angry with are the dishonest hypocrites who say one thing and then do the opposite. These are the non-Malays and the non-Muslims who talk a lot and claim the moral high ground but help Umno with only one-third the seats in Parliament and less than 30% votes to deny Malaysians their right to think and their right to express what we think. 
What ABU! ABU bullshit! You make it appear like everything wrong with Malaysia is the fault of Umno, the Malays or the Muslims. Everything bad that happens in the country is the fault of Umno, the Malays and the Muslims.
Yes, Umno all on its own and with merely a few seats in Parliament that cannot even give them a simple majority in Parliament is to blame for everything that is wrong with Malaysia. Blame Umno. Blame the Malays. Blame the Muslims. The non-Malays and the non-Muslims are not to blame. The non-Malays and the non-Muslims have nothing to do with this. 
It sometimes puzzles me that Umno with only one-third the seats in Parliament can form a government and end up controlling almost two-third the seats in Parliament. Magical, don’t you think so?
I think what is even more magical is how the non-Malays and the non-Muslims can shift the blame entirely on Umno, the Malays and the Muslims as if they are not equally guilty of denying Malaysians freedom of thought and freedom of expression.
The Malays-Muslims, in particular those from Umno, are very open about what they stand for. The non-Malays/non-Muslims, however, pretend a lot. They pretend they are not to blame whereas without them Umno would be an opposition party and not the ruling government. The non-Malays/non-Muslims are so full of shit.
