TRUE MALAYS?

It is reported that PM Najib has announced the formation of a High Level Committee for Bumiputra Affairs, during the tabling of the 10th Malaysia Plan this morning (June 10th). This committee will be chaired by the PM himself whose purpose is to ‘plan, co-ordinate and monitor the implementation of the Bumiputra development agenda’.

I am of the view that this committee is redundant as it will duplicate UMNO’s role as the ‘custodian and protector of the Malay rights’ which the party have so vehemently defended. Or I am to believe that because the word Bumiputra is used, this then cannot be UMNO’s role; hence the establishment of the committee.

Whatever be the stated reason for the establishment of the committee, I do not see any usefulness of the committee. It is going to be another outfit like PERKASA, who is still unable to settle itself for what they precisely intend to do. There has been so much of talk that has not seen fruition to their demands. This committee will be the same, as PM Najib already has too many things in his hand, and by adding this one, I am afraid he will not have enough sleep, and will end up like the previous PM.

Now PERKASA’s boss Ibrahim Ali has suggested that the committee should comprised of TRUE MALAYS who understand Malay and Bumiputra issues. I cannot understand what and who are the TRUE MALAYS. Is this a new race that has just popped out from the sky? At least, what Ibrahim Ali can do to ease the confusion is to define what and who is a TRUE MALAY. And to let Ibrahim Ali know early, I certainly disqualify because I am the grandson of an immigrant from Padang, Sumatra. I am therefore a Minangkabau, not a TRUE MALAY. Certainly, this race called TRUE MALAY cannot be found in our constitution.

Now, let us not create more confusion over the issue of race and religion. Just stick to the word that we are Malaysian ……..1 Malaysia as PM Najib has propagated. And let us not hear that there is also TRUE CHINESE and TRUE INDIANS.

ONE MALAYSIA - a True MALAY as I have said a million times ALREADY - is just a fiction of the imagination!

THE TRUE MALAY NEVER EXISTED !

THE ORANG ASLI - maybe considered a local tribesmen....he may earn that distinction ....OF BEING A TRUE MALAY...

The rest OF THE OTHER MALAYS came from somewhere....ARABS, PAKISTAN, INDIA, YEMEN, TURKEY, SUDAN,PATHAN, THAILAND, INDONESIA, PHILIPPINES, EGYPT, CHINA EVEN...

IT WAS A JUST A VERY CONVENIENT IDEA TO "LONGGOKAN" ALL THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF APPLES IN ONE BIG BASKET AND CALLED THEM ALL APPLES !

If Ibrahim The Frog Ali wants to be the ONLY TRUE MALAY ---let it be lah....he can claim that title!

ALL The previous PM's and current PM himself is a MIGRANT FROM SOMEWHERE as for Jibby he is from INDON....And he is BUGIS !

So if the True Malay STEPS UP AND Comes Out, I will PERSONALLY Crown him the MELAYU PERTAMA DI-DUNIA.

BUKAN NUSUNTARA...INI TAPI DUNIA INI!

MELAYU MANA ADA?
ARAB KAHWIN CAMPUR CINA KELUAR ANAK JADI MELAYU !

ANAK CINA LELAKI BAGI KAT MELAYU (KONON) JUMPA ANAK CINA PEREMPUAN ANAK ANGKAT PAKISTAN (KONON) KAHWIN LAHIRKAN ANAK MELAYU !

MANA DATANG NYA MELAYU?

WHERE IN THE DNA CELLS CAN WE FIND A DROP OF MELAYU BLOOD?

SO IF A COUPLE OF CHINESE MAN & WOMEN WHO JADI ANAK ANGKAT OF A MALAY FAMILY FROM THE TIME OF A BABY, MEETS AND GETS MARRIED THEY WILL LAHIRKAN MELAYU ?

SO 2 ANAK ANGKAT CINA YANG KAHWIN MEREKA AKAN LAHIRKAN MELAYU?

SO IBRAHIM ALI PLEASE STOP DESTROYING THIS COUNTRY WITH YOUR PEA HEAD & DEAD BRAINS !

YOU ARE BETTER OF REMAINING AS A FAT FROG ! A TASTY ONE WITH LOTS OF MEAT...

dear dato,
,,,i would like to see a true man or lady rather than one's race/color or creep ! AND a true Malaysian in spirit and deeds too ?
,,,ini perangai m'cam binatang i.e. some of the individuals on their high horses, talking nonsense plus creating trouble for the rest of innocent Rakyat. Indeed, some even modified their God's given face but unfortunately not their unbecoming character. Kalau perangai dah huduh, buat apa apa pun masih orang meluat. Tak payah modify muka, potong kepala lagi baik.
"bangkai mana tak berbau ?." Yeop Oii !!
...Racially there is no such thing but culturally yes indeed there is the Malays-lah. "Beradat dan bersompan santun"....but also well known human specie to run amok once in awhile when under certain stressful pressure with a crooked knife...so called fighting for their special RIGHT to be spoon fed ?. Easily conned too by the devils known as desperado malaysian Politicians.

Who should not judge an individual based on his or her skin color or religion! We should judge an individual based on his or her contribution to the country.

Saya bukan cina, melayu, india, kadazan, iban, etc. Saya adalah ANAK MALAYSIA TULIN!


Salam

Very funny....no such thing as true Malays, true Indians n true Chinese

So, what, I'm a true Malaysian but a fake Chinese....coz I'm Chinese mix Siamese....and practice some of Malay n Siamese culture at home apart from Chinese tradition...

Why not just put our ethnicity, racial back ground and tradition practices back stage (at home) and showing our front stage behaviour as a true Malaysian???

Dato,
May I join the fray on the issue of the C'ttee for Bumi Affairs and on the True Malays. While I share all the skepticism and even the cynicism that we all harborre some of the decisions made by the govt. today, good intention must be respected for Allah said: Innama akmal binniat.

I think what DSN is trying to do by creating the BA C'ttee is to take the Bumi issue out of the political frying pan which is currently sizzling hot, and make it an admin matter. IOW (in other words) we don't politicize Bumi matters anymore but wrap it under admin and bureaucratic secrecy. Selama ni salah Melayu ialah terlalu bising tapi tak ada yang jadi. Macam ayam bertelur sebiji hebuh sekampung. Org lain senyap-senyap sudah ada 2-4 Universiti sendiri, bandaraya atas gunung sendiri, monopolize
barang-barang pembinaan, spare part kereta dll.
Kalau begitu niatnya OK tapi pastikan birokrasi itu bergerak berani, bukan jadi buruk-kerasi utk Bumi.

Mengenai True Malay, PERKASA juga badan politik,
buat hebuh tapi tak berhasil. Hanya buat org lain berang. Keturunan Melayu ada 3 jenis: Negritos ( Org Hutab Asal ). Proto-Malays ( Jakun daru Yunan) dan Deutero-Malays ( campuran Arab, Indo, Cina dll). Kebanyakan kita dari jenis ketiga. 'True Malay' yang digunakan oleh Ibrahim Ali adalag istilah politik - Melayu yg berhati Melayu - bukan Melayu berjiwa kafir. Ia istilah emotif, tak boleh jadi penentu kerana kita tidak tahu isi hati orang dn memang boleh ditolak saja. Salam.

Dato',
It would be a miracle if the PM can do wonders for the Bumiputras by the creation of a Committee where he is going to be the Chairman. What is actually needed is another Lab for "Transformation of Malay dilemma to an Enigma " because since the social critique Abdullah Munshi's period till now, the attitude of the Malays ( read Bumis) had changed for the worse. The Malay intellectuals with credibility in the likes of Prof. Ungku Aziz, Prof. Syed Hussein Al-Atas, Za'aba and others had relentlessly pursued to change the Malays especially in the field of education, economics and socio-cultural attributes had not been internalised in our psyche. Politics had become the curse rather than saviour for the Bumis. As Dr.M always said " Melayu mudah lupa",....which should be added by another word " daratan ".

You forgot the 4th keturunan.. that is "MAHATERO-MALAY" (campuran India, Mamak, dll). contoh2 MAHATERO-MALAYS are Tun Mahathir, Zambry Abdul Kadir, Azeez, A. Ismail and Nor Mohamed Yakcop, just to name a few. Very soon these "MAHATERO-MALAY" will rule 1Malaysia. HIDUP MAMAK...

In June 1998, a team of experts from all over the world gathered here in Malaysia for a research project to compliment the history of Malaysia.

The objective of the research is simply:

1. To find proof and evidence that show the Malays were the origins of Malaysia and they were the first race and religion that landed their feet in Malaysia.

2. To further strengthen, first they need to find the graveyard of the Hang Tuah, Hang Jebat, Hang Lekiu and others.. to show the existence of them.

3. The Batu Bersurat in Terengganu, reveals that the islamic religion has landed in Malaysia for more than a hundred years ago which further strengthen their claims!

Go and ask your brother, sister, niece, nephew etc. Since the year 1999 (if I’m not mistaken) or year 2000, do they study about HANG TUAH anymore?

Why is that popular subject GONE? Missing in action? or evidence reveals something else that caused to stop the syllabus.

Here are the Evidences of the findings.

The evidence are:

1) They found Hang Tuah, Hang Jebat, Hang Lekiu and mates were NOT MALAY!!! They were CHINESE origins (Islamic) from China!!! Why were they here in Malacca? If you go back in history, you would know that they were on a mission to protect the Sultanate from the frequent attacks by the Kingdom of SIAM (Thailand).

Hang Tuah and friends were all from China, they were being assigned to the Malacca Sultanate because Parameswara requested the Ming Dynasty Emperor for protection! Hence, the rich historical heritage of the Babas & Nyonyas were being closely linked to the Seven Voyages to the Western Ocean by Admiral Zheng He who incidentally was a Chinese Muslim himself!

That's why the Hang Tuah series of history is MISSING from the Malaysian SEJARAH today!

Note: Remember Princess Hang Li Poh? - All surname 'HANG'


Second Evidence:

The researchers found the oldest tombstones (graveyard) in Kelantan in year 2000. Surprisingly, the tombstones were at least 900 years old! Older than the so-called Batu Bersurat. And the interesting thing was that they all belonged to the CHINESE!

If you want the hard evidence of what the truth of the Research reveals, please write to The Federal Association of Archaeology & Research of Michigan, USA.

Saudara Abdulhalimshah, I really like your piece especially that bit about 'lupa daratan'.
Among other things, Swettenham describes the Malays as an indolent people who loves to 'make merry' ( pegeantry or bertemasha), God fearing and are very fearful of their Rajas/Sultans. Obviously he missed out another bad trait of 'lupa daratan'that is very prevalent today. Or is this bad trait a new phenomenon, the result of rapid development/enrichment???
Just an afterthought___ research has found that the genes of Genjis Khan is present in 3/4 of the human race. (He must have been one hell of a fornicater) Does that also mean that 20 million Malaysian are related and are actually Mongols??
Wither the Malays? Ha,ha,ha!

benadam said...

I sense a rather bad vibes afloating here. After all is said and done there are Malaysians silently clapping hands. True despite the oxymoron!!!Just take your pick. Period.

EAGLE said...

Dato'
hahaha Was Hang Tuah related to Sun Tzu?
Very soon someone will throw another red herring that Malays are descendant of Machiavelli or Carl Von Clauswitz.
Probably modern scientific research of Malay DNA can give the answer.
Generation zzzzzzz sleep and flip-flop!!!

dear dato,

,,,the Malays is a confused lot of people, they are everybody but no body except for the bloody Putras in Putrajaya !.
,,,they are fighting for their so called RIGHTS to be the under dogs too !. Some claimed to be more Islamic than others and dress up more Arabic than the Arabs themselves. Most or rather majority are hypocrites but claim not to be one. Pretty good in taking short cuts plus ready to blame the world and everyone except themselves. Cannot see another successful individual Malay to stand-up and sharing their good experience with life and living. Slow and backwards in THINKING too except for the very very few. Generally, "Tak boleh tengok orang lain senang ?."
,,,the Malays must change their mindset and attitude, plus take more Actions than just talking about it until even the cows refused to come home.
,,,there is still hope for this Malay nation too, just forget about racialists politics and policies.
...plus stop sitting on an Arabic high horse too for God's sake.
,,,PLEASE, dear Malays just get real and act as an human being like the rest of bro./sis. Malaysian ?. There is no free lunch too yaa.

Dato,
Yang dikatakan True Malay tu ialah mereka mereka yang lahir atau keturunan mereka berasal daripada gugusan kepulauan Melayu seperti Tanah Jawa, Sumatera dan Semenanjung Tanah Melayu.Ini lah yang diajar Che Gu saya masa sekolah rendah dulu.Yang datuk nenek mereka atau bapak mereka berasal dari Benua India itu digelar Mamak atau Melayu kacukan Mamak dan yang Datuk nenek dan bapak mereka dari benua China tu digelar Melayu kacukan China.Aik...tak kan ni pun Datuk tak tau! yang saya menyampah sekali ialah mereka yang keturunan India atau kacukan India ni yang nak jadi ultra Melayu ni apa hal? contohnya ade bersepah sepah dalam UMNO tak sadar diri yang awak tu bukan Melayu tulen dan lebih sudu dari senduk.
