I do not know whether to laugh of cry, when I read the Bernama report in NST online dated Nov 2,2008, where Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim is reported to have asked Datuk Zaid Ibrahim to get out of the “rumpun Melayu” (Malay grouping) over the latter's remarks on “ketuanan Melayu” (Malay supremacy) which the former deemed as extreme. Datuk Zaid Ibrahim had said that the “ketuanan Melayu” concept “was a failure and a detriment to the Malay race”.
I just wonder what is so extreme in Datuk Zaid Ibrahim remarks? Personally, I am not the least offended by what Datuk Zaid Ibrahim has said. Allow him his rights to free expression and for those who do not agree with him, they just have to ignore him. Why is Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim making a big fuss?
And for Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim to suggest that Datuk Zaid Ibrahim gets out of the Malay grouping for the latter's 'extreme remarks' is indeed comical, nonsensical and only reflects the hollow mentality of the former. I am not quite sure whether Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim had said that in jest, or whether he really meant what he said. And if he really meant what he said, how on earth is Datuk Zaid Ibrahim going to get out of his Malay roots. Will changing his name or changing the colour of his skin satisfy Datuk Seri Sahaidan Kassim?
My brotherly advice to Datuk Seri Sahaidan Kassim is for him to search his soul, and to ask whether he has done enough for the Malays in Perlis when he was the Menteri Besar. Had he been the true champion of the Malays in Perlis, surely he will still be the Menteri Besar today. There must be something seriously wrong with him to incur the wrath of the Malays in Perlis and worse still,the wrath of HRH Raja of Perlis to reject him as the Menteri Besar.
And pardon me for saying this...I will only believe in "ketuanan Melayu" if the Malay leaders are fair to all Melayu....not the Malayu from just one political party only. Ask any kampung folk if they know what "ketuanan Melayu" means to them. The answer is "we do not know, and we only want to make sure that our families get enough food to eat everyday".

In this ERA of Globalisation, Why there are still leaders in Malaysia being so RACIST AND FASCIST ???
In this modern days, the last bastion of PSYCHO-GENETIC behavior of HITLERISM has already left the World. Why are the Brains of these IDIOTIC leaders still stuck with the SHITS !
Their bloody brains must be filled with damn SHIT !!! on judgement day their evil deeds of BULLYING in the name of KETUANAN ( RACISM AND FASCISM) shall be purnished with gobbling shits for 49 days !!!
To understand the concept of "Ketuanan Melayu" is very simple, just pick up the Perlembagaan Persekutuan and the historical book about Independance of this country.Read it carefully and understand the concept before making any wild allegation against anybody.If there is time make a comparison of the content between our constitution and the rest of Commonwealth country like Singapore,India,Pakistan and etc.You can also read the "Magna Carta" inorder to understand the issue of ketuanan Melayu and why was it enshrined in our Constitution.The late Tun Suffian and Prof Ahmad Ibrahim books shall exposed u to the understanding of our Constitution in detail.Meanwhile I think it is wise for us just to shut up if we dont understand how this Constitution work.
Dear Walimuar,
I fully understand the concept and the origins of Ketuanan Melayu. However, today you will notice that politicians are using it as a political gimmick. This is where the problem lies.
Dato, it is not difficult to read these bankrupt and desperate politician mind, when they lost heavily in the last PRU 12 they tried to rebuilt their support from the Malays majority which have abandon them outright.Therefore they have to look for Malay sensitive issues inorder to unite back the Malays under one umbrella UMNO.This is the most obvious reason which I see,forgive me if I am wrong to come out with this theory.
