UMNO is worried about chronological truths
by Dato Ariff Sabri
Former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad pronounced UMNO hasnt got leadership. My take upon which statement is which it is a damnest indictment upon Prime Minsiter Najib Tun Razaks leadership.
UMNO is right away reduced to a status of a pauper scrounging during a supposed mistake pas committed by PAS emissary boss Mat Sabu.
What has Mat Sabu essentially pronounced which caused so most consternation?Mat Sabu referred to a name of Mat Indera, a Batu Pahat Malay born in Peserai who led a conflict upon a police barrack during Bukit Kepong.
The barrack was commanded by an English man representing a colonial supervision then. we consider we have been missing a point here. Mat Sabu wasnt glorifying a communists or communism. He didnt even contend anything about communism. He was asking his assembly to take a relook during a treatment of story upon a role of Mat Indera.
To Mat Sabu, story has unjustly treated with colour Mat Indera as well as we, a public, have supposed theofficial chronicle of story hook, line as well as sinker.Was Mat Indera a elementary militant sans a larger role as well as thus honourable a description of a knave as well as terrorist?
Villifying Mat Indera
It right away seems a preferred chronicle of revised story is to see as well as value Mat Indera as a freedom warrior focussed upon kicking out a British imperialists. Certainly a people in Mat Inderas kampung in Batu Pahat refused to accept a vilification of Mat Inderas memory.
The criminalisation of Mat Indera is partial of a teaching as well as promotion carried out by
British imperialism. Mat Indera joins a list of so most other freedom fighters who dared rise up to challenge Britsih hegemony.
Nowadays a Malayan people could no longer accept nor tolerate a infamy enforced upon people similar to Pandak Endut, upon Tok Janggut as well as Mat Kilau as well as so most others. Mat Indera certainly doesnt deserve to be dumped in to a dustbin of story as just a single of those terrorists.
Why is UMNO concerned?
Over a final few days, we had a event to finish celebration of a mass a discourse of a single Shamsiah Fakeh Memoir Shamsiah Fakeh- Dari AWAS ke Rejimen Ke-10. If we recall, her name re-emerged with some prominence not long ago when a Bersih 2.0 marchers upon July 9 were pronounced to be influenced by her actions.
Shamsiah was a member of Parti Kebangsaan Melayu Malaya (PKMM) a left-leaning Malay domestic celebration formed in 1945. It was a first domestic celebration which plainly declared a goal to be which of securing autonomy for Malaya.
In which sense, PKMM preceded UMNO in a commitment to secure Merdeka for a Malayan people. UMNO leaders during which time scoffed as well as chided as well as were dismissive of a manifest enterprise to gain independence.
They often derided those who longed for autonomy as illusory dreamers who couldnt even make a needle What is afterwards alarming about Mat Sabus mistake pas is a fright which it may lead to a drawn out rider of history.
If it snowballs in to a drawn out rider of history, afterwards UMNOs tangible role MAY itself be diminished. And it will no longer enjoy an unchallenged as well as monopolistic place in our nations history.
Politically it will additionally meant which UMNO will find it increasingly difficult to claim comprehensive legitimacy as a nations only d! omestic force to have fought for Merdeka.Its own heroes will be brought down to size.www.freemalaysiatoday.com
