Ethnicity At Power Breakfast Thursday May 14th 2015

We had another round of power breakfast today at Ratha Raub's Curry House in Damansara.

Here is the picture.  

Dato Kadir Jasin, our perpetual wit, pulled out a piece of paper and got everyone to write their name and state their ethnicity.

(For those of you who are upset at 'Malay first' dont get confused. We are all Malaysians first but I think Dato Kadir wanted to know if there were any 'Ilanun' among us. Ilanun are the famous sea pirates from the Indonesian islands east of Sabah.)

The Malay word 'lanun' is derived from the bangsa 'Ilanun'.

Here is the list of signatories :

In the picture you can recognise Tun Daim, Dato Kadir Jasin, YB Ariff Sabri (DAP MP for Raub), Firdaus Abdullah, myself and others.

Just like Najib Razak has done, NONE of those present here declared they were Malay. 

Najib Razak said he was Bugis.  Look at the list of signatories :  the first signatory (Tun Daim) signed as "Rahsia". Then there is 'mungkin Siam', followed by Siam / Minangkabau. China / Pakistan, Mamak Original (thats me), Mani Purindan (Mamak) ?? pun ada, mungkin Siam / Jawa and Malaysian Indian. 

On a more serious note, there is some good news folks.  

Insha Allah, perhaps Deepavali this year will see a real victory of good over evil. I hope it will be a real celebration of light. 

All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of even one candle.  

There is not enough darkness in this country to extinguish all the torches that have been lit. 

Folks, some people are going to get burnt. Really burnt. The point of no return (for them) has been achieved. Keep tuned in.

Did you know that that new airplane is kept permanently fueled and on standby to take off anytime?    

Rats take note. The end is nigh.
