After election, the blame game starts

-
By Viktor Wong

In aftermath of the Sarawak state election which saw a severe defeat of one state BN major component party, the Sarawak United People's Party (SUPP) and the outstanding gain of DAP and PKR the blame game is about to start.

SUPP president Dr George Chan, who himself was defeated by a DAP newcomer is not about giving up that so easy. He fired his first salvo today by blaming his BN state government and Putrajaya for not doing much to address issues and concerns raised by SUPP, particularly of those unjust policies on the Chinese community.

If the BN is not doing much for the Chinese community and SUPP, why stay on in the coalition in the first place? If you are really sincere about serving the Chinese community and serious about all those concerns and issues highlighted by SUPP, then quit the BN coalition and fight it out alone or join forces with Pakatan Rakyat. It shows that you love your positions and status more than your concern to your people.

Like their counterparts in peninsular, the Sarawak Chinese community had also decided to reject SUPP as the core representative of their community, reason - they are ineffective in speaking up and powerless. They decided to vote for the opposition, regardless of if there is anybody up there representing them or not, no difference - they are all powerless.

Then come the Umno-owned Utusan Malaysia who is out to create another havoc by calling on BN to hate the Chinese for being so "ungrateful" because the majority had voted for DAP in the recently concluded Sarawak state election. Utusan also urged BN to avenge their defeat by completely excluding BN Chinese leaders from new state government line-up as a sign of protest.

There you go, it's racism and hatred again. As instructed by Umno, the Utusan editorial played up racially sensitive sentiment again as a revenge on behalf of party president Najib Razak.

There is nothing else they could do now other than hate, hate and hate. This is what they are good at right now.

However, we all have our patience, we can wait till the 13th general elections to come in order for us to strike back at all these racist. Be prepared for another onslaught.

Umno, jangan berlagak seperti Tuhan!

Wahai Umno dan kesemua NGO-NGO yang diperhamba olehnya, janganlah berlagak-lagak seperti Tuhan. Siapakah kamu-kamu semua untuk memberikan satu ketetapan ataupun sejenis "fatwa" untuk mensabitkan seorang itu bersalah oleh kerana beliau hanya memberikan kenyataan itu berpandukan apa yang tertera di dalam ajaran Al-Quran (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:56). Para pemimpin Umno dan hamba-hamba NGO di bawahnya tidak berhak untuk mengarah ataupun menentukan mana-mana pihak yang bersalah dan dihukum. Kalaulah seseorang itu benar-benar bersalah, sudah lama orang tersebut telah menerima akibatnya. Tetapi kenapa sehingga kini, orang tersebut masih selamat berada di bumi ini? Janganlah digunakan nama Tuhan untuk cuba menjatuhkan "hukuman" itu mengikut undang-undang "Umno". Itu lagi berdosa, kerana mempergunakan nama Tuhan untuk tujuan-tujuan keji lagi jahat! Seterusnya

Say no to racist politicians

By R Kengadharan The fundamental problem in Malaysia today is racism, and each day it escalates to a more dangerous level. We cannot ignore the ugly truth that racism is the consequence of privilege, institutionalised discrimination and the claim of supremacy by one group. The sad thing is that there is no national effort on a credible scale to destroy the racist mentality. We must destroy racism by openly condemning it and rejecting it in whatever form it takes, including the form of a race-based political party. The result of the 2008 general election did provide a ray of hope for a political system dominated by two multiracial parties, but the euphoria was short-lived. No true political observer can be oblivious of the fact that racial politicking is making a comeback and threatening to push the nation ever backward. While the vast majority of Malaysians see nothing but ugliness in racial politics, there are still many politicians who believe they cannot survive unless they continue...
