Subject: MALAYSIA TRULY ASIA?
Reproduced below verbatim is a letter publised in the online malaysiakini.com which is self explanatory. i) While we have a moral obligation to be loyal citizens, we need not allow the racist elte to use us to further their chauvinistic ends.Your selection for the programme was purely cosmetic. Hari Kiamat will begin if the racists allow you to represent the country. The guy Malek was awarded a datukship for swimming the English ---- the umpteenth man to do so--- but Nicole David did not receive a similar title for emerging as the world's best in squash. Nor was Radhakrishnan the strong man who pulled a train weighing more than 260 tons with his teeth for distance of more than a metre, beating the record set by the Belgian. ii) Malkaysia Truly Asia like many other propagandastic slogans is for the tourists only --- mainly targeted at the white skinned mat salleh type. Raja Petra Kamaruddin seems to think that the BN has no plans to integrate the Indian community with the main stream society. Rather Indians are thought of as a 'problem' which will somehow go away. iii ) Back Door Islamisation is in full swing. A revisionist history is taught to our children. The contributions of the minority citizens to the culture and economy are trivialised, or a spin is put on them which makes the Bunis who have hardly exerted themselves in these areas look great. iv) Squatter settlements in the main towns in which Indians were prominent were torn down on the grounds that they disfigure.the landscape and are the source of epidemics. However a pussy footing approach is adopted with regard to the large colonies of illegal immigrants from Indonesia who have made their homes on the fringes of the forests in Melawati, Gombak and Puchong. The children of these seetlers go to government schools. Members of the public have complained about this to the press. If you decide to opt out of the programme, I would give you my full support. MIC, please wake up! On April 21, Kuala Lumpur City Hall demolished a century-old Hindu temple, the Malaimel Sri Selva Kaliamman Hindu Temple in Kuala Lumpur. The bulldozers tore down the temple even as the faithful devotees who were praying there cried and begged them to stop. I don't remember reading about this in the mainstream media. Neither did I hear a single MIC person come out and say a word. --------------------------------- You must Sign in before you can post messages.
